july 21st, 2014

INT. DUSSELDORF AIRPORT - DAY
VLAD and ERICA converse next to a broken vending machine at their departure gate. They are both operating under the influence of 36 hours of international travel (and counting).

ERICA

Professor X. Little known fact: New Yorker. Nice voice, New Yorker.

VLAD

Little known fact: when Professor X was at Oxford, he played Hamlet like 50 times.

ERICA

Patrick Stewart?

VLAD

No! Professor X! Way more successful an actor. Because he could just go into peoples' minds ...

ERICA

And just be good?

VLAD

And just be good! He doesn't even really have a British accent. It's just in our minds. And when he loses his powers you can hear his actual pretty crappy British accent. That's why he went back to the US. And started drinking.
