INT. SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKE-UP STUDIO - DAY
Inside the studio, we see remnants from other projects, an alien head, a wounded half of a face.
Johnny leans back in a chair as the team of make-up artists cover his head in plaster.
They put a straw into his nose to breath out of.
We hear Johnny’s breath - slow and heavy. It seems to take forever to dry.
CUT TO:
35
Later: The make-up artists stand in front of him working with
concentration. When they finish, they stand back for Johnny to see himself in the mirror:
It’s Johnny at 80 years-old. His eyes look out from the
realistic old age make-up.
He looks at himself as an old man.

INT. ITALIAN SUITE - EVENING
[…]
Pupi and his entourage tell Johnny about the awards show.
PUPI:
So, Johnny. We just need to stop by
the awards show, it would be great
if you can present the award for
the best actor and say a few words.
Maybe a story about working with Al
Pacino, or something? And then we
go to the dinner afterwards, with
the Mayor...
Johnny is already dreading it.
Cleo enters the room all dressed up.
Johnny turns and looks at her -he sees her for the first time not just as a cute kid, but as the beautiful woman she will become.
