      INT. HONEYBEE HIVE - LEVEL ONE BELOW - DAY

      (MATT, SAMANTHA, NIKKI)

      MATT AND SAMANTHA ARE SITTING ON A GRASSY HILL ON LEVEL ONE BELOW OF THE HONEYBEE HIVE. IN A VALLEY BELOW A GROUP OF COUNTRY SINGERS - UNKNOWN OUTSIDE OF THE HIVE BUT TALENTED NONETHELESS - ARE PERFORMING A SONG.

      MATT'S TALKING ON HIS CELL.

      MATT

      Yeah? . . . Hey, thanks for letting me know. . . . Whatever. It's all good, man. . . . No. Trust me. It's alright. I'll be fine. . . . See ya next shift. . . . Cheers.

      MATT FLIPS HIS CELL SHUT.

      SAMANTHA

      Dylan?

      MATT

      Yeah. Hey, he says they might be letting me go from Lone Star.

      SAMANTHA

      Oh. Yeah, they're having to let some staff go. Clare spoke to me about it; I asked her not to let you go.

      MATT

      Thanks. But I get it, though. I ain't the most talkative guy, unless I'm around Dylan or you. Dylan coz he never shuts up; you and Clarissa coz . . . well . . . you're family now. It's about group cohesion. And that's exactly what we have here. I don't need Lonely Star.

      SAMANTHA

      Too right.

      MATT

      Dylan said he was at this party the other night for Jessica.

      SAMANTHA

      Yeah. Clarissa and I were invited but we skipped it . . .

      MATT

      So . . . there's probably a certain number of words I'd have to actually speak to Jessica before she'll invite me to a party, ey?

      MATT LAUGHS.

      MATT

      I wonder if there's an exact number, or what the valency of those words needs to be?

      SAMANTHA

      Arrrrgh! Contact from the outside world has put you in thinking mode. Escape. Escape already.

      MATT

      Cohesion. Cohesion. Cohesion.

      NIKKI

      I looooove your hair.

      NIKKI - A WOMAN PERHAPS IN HER FIFTIES - TOUCHES MATT'S HEAD. SHE SPINS AROUND, HER FLORAL DRESS BECOMING AN UMBRELLA FOR THE GRASS FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, THEN FOR MATT'S HEAD.

      NIKKI

      You mind if I sit here?

      MATT

      Not at all.

      SAMANTHA

      Matt, this is Nikki. One of our senior members. She's quite a character.

      NIKKI

      Oh, this is Matt. You never told me how handsome the new guy is.

      MATT

      Well, thanks.

      SAMANTHA GIGGLES.

      SAMANTHA

      Told you she was quite a character.

      NIKKI

      Matt, could I just touch your face? I'm sorry; I'm a little high right now.

      MATT SMILES. HE GLANCES AT SAMANTHA AND THEN BACK AT NIKKI.

      NIKKI

      Oh Nikki; is your mate Alan here? Is he watching the performance?

      MATT

      You can do more than that.

      MATT TOUCHES NIKKI'S FACE. HE RUNS A FINGER ALONG HER BOTTOM LIP.

      NIKKI TAKES A DEEP BREATH, AND THEN MATT'S HAND - AS THOUGH ALL IN ONE FLUID MOTION.

      NIKKI

      Can I kiss you?

      MATT LIES DOWN. HE TAKES HOLD OF NIKKI'S WAIST.

      SAMANTHA

      Whoa! Cohesion. Well illustrated, Matt.

      NIKKI EXHALES. THEIR BODIES CONNECT.

      INT. HONEYBEE HIVE - LEVEL TWO BELOW - DAY

      (BRIAN, CLARISSA, BEK)

      WE'RE STILL WITH BRIAN AND CLARISSA.

      BRIAN

      How can you be sure?

      CLARISSA

      Because they love this place, almost as much as you do. They love us. It's only right we return that love.

      BRIAN

      Get to know them. You need to get to know them. And you should have done that outside the Hive. We can't let anyone just walk in here off the street, especially cops.

      CLARISSA

      What about Bek? Remember when Bek first arrived?

      CLARISSA WINKS AT BEK - SHE'S TAP DANCING NOT FAR FROM CLARISSA AND BRIAN. THEY APPROACH HER.

      BRIAN

      Sure.

      BRIAN LAUGHS.

      BRIAN

      When we needed wine for the party we thought it would be fun to have line dancers squeeze the grapes. And fortunately Bek stayed with us.

      CLARISSA

      Yep. Straight off the street, so to speak.

      BRIAN SIGHS.

      BRIAN

      I don't know. I just don't like cops.
