Scene 13

Location: The Planet

It’s late at night and the Planet is closed.  Dana goes around the back to the door to the kitchen to see if the door is propped open. The door to the kitchen is open and Lara is there taking inventory.  Dana knocks on the door and enters the kitchen

Dana:    I was hoping to find you here.

[Lara smiles at Dana.]

Dana:    I’m just getting in from the airport and I’m starved.

[Dana looks around and sees everything has been put away.]

Dana:    Oh geez, I’m sorry, you must be ready to go home.

Lara:    I’ve missed seeing your face around here.  I’d be happy to fix something for you.  What would you like?  [Lara flirtatiously lifts her eyebrows.]
 
Dana:    How about a hamburger? No make it a cheeseburger

Lara:    A cheeseburger?

Dana:    I’ve been in Dubai for the past 10 days

Lara turns on the stove and puts a pan on the flame to heat and puts a little oil in the pan.  She goes over to the fridge, opens it and takes out a hamburger patty and slice of cheese.  She puts the patty on the counter sprinkles salt and grinds pepper over it and puts it in the pan. She then washes her hands in the sink.  Lara wipes her hands on a towel and walks over to Dana who is leaning against the counter and has been watching Lara.

Lara walks over to Dana and starts to kiss her; at first Dana is hesitant but then she starts kissing Lara back just as hard and she puts her arms around Lara.  Lara lifts Dana onto the counter and takes off her shirt, Dana knocks Lara’s chef’s hat off her head, it lands on the stove and catches fire, they don’t notice at first but then Lara stops kissing Dana’s neck and chest when she notices the burning smell and flames out of the corner of her eye.  She knocks the burning hat off the stove with her sleeve and it lands on Dana’s shirt.

Dana:  Oh my god, Oh my god [Dana is in a panic.]

At first Lara is trying to stamp out the fire with her foot but it’s not working then she runs to get the fire extinguisher and can’t get the fire extinguisher to work, she then takes off her chef’s jacket and tried to smother the fire but her jacket catches on fire as well.
