　　101 BACK IN THE IRS：
　　EVELYN
　　It’s too late， Waymond.
　　WAYMOND
　　Don’t say that.
　　Evelyn looks at her bleeding selfless husband like she’s never seen something so beautiful. MUSIC BEGINS TO PLAY. [The Same romantic music from the Movie Star Universe when she saw
　　Waymond in the crowd.]
　　
　　101-2 TAXES UNIVERSE: INT. LAUNDROMAT - Evelyn’s stare lingers before she turns away from the Bagel and hugs Waymond hard.

　　102 MOVIE STAR UNIVERSE: EXT. MOVIE THEATER ALLEY
　　WAYMOND （CEO）
　　儘管你⼀再讓我⼼碎， 我還是想告訴你…如果有來⽣， 我還是會選擇和你⼀起開洗⾐店， 報稅.
　　WAYMOND （CEO）
　　So， even though you have broken my heart yet again， I wanted to say…… In another life， I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.
　　He turns to go.
　　
　　103 TAXES UNIVERSE: INT. LAUNDROMAT

　　WAYMOND

　　（at peace）
　　Nothing.
　　
　　106 ACTION UNIVERSE: INT. IRS 9TH FLOOR ATRIUM
　　The Alpha Jumpers lower their weapons. This cute couple doesn’t seem like a threat. Evelyn smiles， is this working？

　　106-1 FLASH: TEMPLE UNIVERSE - they are back by the Bagel.
　　JOBU
　　Come on， Evelyn.
　　Evelyn pulls away and they are：
　　
　　106 BACK IN THE IRS：
　　JOBU （CONT’D）
　　Why the hell would you want to be here？
　　Evelyn looks at Waymond. She can’t help but smile.
　　EVELYN
　　I- I don’t know.
　　JOBU
　　I get it. You’re feeling a good thing. Y’got your hopes up. I’m here to save you some time：
　　eventually that goes away. Come on.
　　Jobu swiftly grabs Evelyn’s hands， hand vagina trick! RUMBLE -
　　Jobu opens her hands - Wind whips through the air.
　　THE BAGEL IS NOW IN THE IRS BUILDING at the top of the Stairs. Wind swirls and objects rumble. Everyone cowers in ear except Jobu who heads for the stairs.
　　JOBU （CONT’D）
　　I don’t care if you come with me.
　　（with disdain）
　　Enjoy your life.
　　Evelyn defiantly steps in between Jobu and the stairs.
　　As Evelyn approaches her， Jobu raises both handsTEMPLE UNIVERSE: Jobu lifts her hands. Hooded figures blow on horns. Her followers plug into verse jumping machines.
　　BACK IN THE IRS: Bagel Followers led by Deirdre march into the room， forming a wall between Evelyn and Jobu.
　　Evelyn attempts to push through the Bagel Followers to get to Jobu. Deirdre fights back but Evelyn easily blocks her blows and puts Deirdre into a choke hold.
　　WAYMOND
　　Evelyn， please no more fighting.
　　Evelyn hesitates. She turns to see Waymond cowering in a cubicle.
　　The Bagel Followers pin her onto the ground. Jobu easily walks right past her and heads towards the Bagel.
　　Deirdre rips a blade from a nearby paper cutter and holds it to Evelyn’s neck.
　　DEIRDRE （BAGEL）
　　What did I tell you about caring too much， Evelyn？
　　Evelyn clenches her fists， but doesn’t know how to get out without hurting anyone. She looks up at Deirdre who winds back her blade， about to strike. TIME SLOWS.

　　TAXES UNIVERSE - EXT. LAUNDROMAT
　　
　　Evelyn steps out of the laundromat to find Deirdre nursing her vape pen. Neither of them talk at first， but Deirdre offers Evelyn a drag from her vape.
　　DEIRDRE
　　Careful. Don’t want to make me change my mind…… again.
　　She gives Evelyn a wry smile before exhaling.
　　EVELYN
　　What did he say to you？
　　DEIRDRE
　　He mentioned your…… situation. I remember when my ex gave me the papers. I drove his KIA Forte
　　through the neighbors’ kitchen.
　　Evelyn looks back at the mess she created.
　　DEIRDRE （CONT’D）
　　Maybe that’s why I’ve been really hard on you. I see myself in you.
　　We’re both…… difficult women.
　　Evelyn looks at Deirdre， they are suddenly in-
　　
　　107-1 HOT DOG UNIVERSE: INT. APARTMENT
　　Evelyn watches as Hot Dog Deirdre is walking out the door， holding her suitcase with her toes and not her hands.
　　
　　107-2 FLASHBACKS: 1） At a dinner party， Deirdre is clearly uncomfortable so Evelyn places her feet on Deirdre’s. 2） Deirdre is playing piano with her toes， but when Evelyn walks in， she immediately stops in embarrassment. 3） Evelyn goes in for a hug， but Deirdre pushes her away.
　　DEIRDRE （V.O.）
　　You know what I say？ Cold， hysterical， unlovable bitches like us make the world go round.
　　
　　107-1 Evelyn slowly walks towards Deirdre in the doorway and lifts her toes to wipe Deirdre’s tears. It’s incredibly tender.
　　
　　107-3 ACTION UNIVERSE: INT. IRS BUILDING

　　Deirdre’s blade is an inch away from her neckSuddenly the blade STOPS. Evelyn’s foot has caught Deirdre’s arm.
　　
　　107 TAXES UNIVERSE: EXT. LAUNDROMAT
　　EVELYN
　　That’s not true.
　　DEIRDRE
　　What？
　　Deirdre is taken aback.
　　
　　107-3 ACTION UNIVERSE: INT. IRS BUILDING
　　EVELYN
　　You aren’t unlovable.
　　DEIRDRE （BAGEL）
　　The hell are you talking about？
　　Deirdre’s blade struggles against Evelyn’s foot.
　　EVELYN
　　There is always something to love.
　　Even in a stupid， stupid universe where we have hot dogs for fingers， we’d all be very good with our
