INT. JETT BLACK TATTOO PARLOUR - MORNING
GLENDA GRIFFIN sits cross-legged on the counter of a run-down tattoo studio. A WALK-IN CUSTOMER shows her a picture on his phone. She nods and closes her eyes.
GLENDA
We don’t do other people’s tattoos.
WALK-IN CUSTOMER
I’m not askin’ ye to dee someone else’s, I’m asking ye to dee mine.
She opens one eye.
GLENDA
Aah, but if yours is theirs then theirs is thine... And that’s how curses start.
Their conversation is drowned out by a loud motorbike outside. JETT BLACK struts in dressed only in white briefs, not even shoes. He throws his helmet in Glenda’s direction but it soars past, smashing a picture on the wall.
JETT
My caramel macchiato, Glenda. Extra wet.
