12 [ ====== SCENE TWELVE ====== ] 12
INT WOMEN'S RESTROOM AT THE DANCE (NIGHT)
Shannen Doherty looks in the mirror as she fixes her hair and costume as Hunter enters.
HUNTER
Well, well, well. If it isn't the "Queen of Mean". Point a loaded pistol at any former boyfriends again today?
SHANNEN
Well, well, well. If it isn't "Little Miss Wanna-Be-Me". Steal any acting techniques from me again today? How did you get in here anyway?
HUNTER
I saw the sign on the door that said "Ladies Room", and I pulled on the handle.
SHANNEN
No, you idiot, not into the restroom. I meant, how did you get into the dance?
HUNTER
Why should I tell you?
SHANNEN
Because you are now on MY set. If you don't tell me, I'll have you thrown out of here.
HUNTER
But where's the fun in that? With your reputation, I thought you could have done better than talk empty threats.
Shannen ignores her and pushes her way passed Hunter to the door. Before Shannen reaches the door, however, there is a loud crash outside the restroom.
HUNTER
What the hell was that?
Shannen pushes the restroom door to open it. It will not budge. Immediately, she turns around and blames Hunter.
SHANNEN
This is all your fault!
12-B OUTSIDE THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM (NIGHT) 12-B
Apparently, someone had driven a forklift into one of the refreshment stands and blocked the door shut. Marcy races over to the wreckage as the driver of the forklift disappears into the crowd.
MARCY
Hunter! Hunter, are you in there?
HUNTER
(from the other side of the door)
Yeah, Marcy! I'll be all right, just get me out of here!
MARCY
Okay! We'll get you out in a minute! One of these costumed nuts got a little carried away with a forklift!

12-C INT WOMEN'S RESTROOM AT THE DANCE (NIGHT) 12-C
HUNTER
It looks like we'll be stuck in here for a while.
SHANNEN
(glaring at Hunter)
What do you suggest we do? Sing a song from "Hello, Dolly"?
HUNTER
It would be a change of pace for you, wouldn't it? No. I had something else in mind.
SHANNEN
(adjusting her horns)
I'm all ears.
HUNTER
Let's talk about why you were fired from 90210.
SHANNEN
I wasn't fired. I quit.
HUNTER
(not buying it)
Yeah, right! And Aarron Spelling is just your average Joe. I have it on good authority that you were fired because of a demand to have your salary on 90210 doubled.
SHANNEN
Tabloid gossip, nothing more.
HUNTER
How about the fact you were late to arrive on the set on more than one occasion.
SHANNEN
More gossip. There is no truth behind anything the tabloids ever printed about me.
HUNTER
Well, I'd have to agree with you there for one of the stories I read. You do know that Jason Priestley was on our set recently.
This surprised Shannen. She did not know whether this was true, or whether Hunter was making it up.
SHANNEN
(hesitates a moment, then fires back--)
Jason loves to hear himself tell big tales. I would not accept everything he might have said as fact. The only thing he could have said that was true, I know he would never say.
HUNTER
Which would be--?
SHANNEN
That Aarron Spelling told me to act crazy to gain attention for the show. I didn't know that once I got him the attention for 90210 that he wanted, he'd force me to quit that show of his.
HUNTER
Nice try. You know, I almost believed you. In fact, I probably would have believed you if I didn't know the truth myself.
SHANNEN
That being what?
At that moment, the outer door was opened. Marcy sticks her face into the restroom.
MARCY
All clear!
SHANNEN
Good. Now I can finally get out of this rat-hole.
As Shannen leaves, Hunter gets in the last word:
HUNTER
Party while you can, Doherty. The bell will toll soon enough for you!
