BF2 after the big cleopatra show, there is a special moment between the two, Tex goes back and personally delivers flowers to all the girls and there are at least two carts behind him. Pushed by hotel staff. Bodyguards trail.
A sneaky beat goes along with this scene. He ditches the flower group telling them to finish the job and goes directly to Cleo's dressing room.
Sneaky music escalates.
He knocks on the door finding it strangely closed, unlocked, but openable from his simple knocking.
She's in a bra, he responds
TEX
Oh..
CLEO
C'mon in it's bout time we talked.
TEX
(as though talking to a little child)
Well, these are for you.
CLEO gives him a stare of mixed emotion, somewhat revealing her affection but a bit put off from his belittling.
TEX plays off this.
TEX
Excuse me, loooong day. (Sighs)
CLEO rapidly changes her stance
CLEO
Well are we going to go get some drinks and celebrate the show?
TEX is getting what he wants out of this and goes back into his mode
TEX
(playing dumb)
Uh, I could comp your party if that's what you mean. Jeez, sorry I didn't offer. It's been THAT long of a *beep* aren't you (beat) I mean don't let me hold you up. Where's your party? (reaches in pocket for his phone)
CLEO looks at him now, making it obvious that she knows what he's doing but says nothing.
CLEO
I don't really really feel like a big party, maybe you and I can share a glass of champagne right here. She looks at a bunch of gifts sitting on the floor, hands Tex the champagne at which point he finally exchanges for the flowers.
CLEO
(impatiently)
Well, open it up.
TEX getting what he wants, steps in further, kicking the door closed with the other foot. Ceremoniously he pops the bottle open.
