Inside Le Grand Paris Hotel. The sun is setting over the city. Some people are dancing. Others are enjoying the cuisine. Zoeya is prepared to leave. She is standing in front of the main door. She is exhausted. The voice of Chat Noir stops her in track.
Chat Noir: "So that's what a good journalist is."
Zoeya smiles weakly to him.
Zoeya: "Chat Noir, I thought you left."
Chat Noir (bored): "I did. Then I thought I should pay my respect to the great journalist."
Zoeya (her smiles fades): "Are you angry with me?"
Chat Noir: "I thought you were a friend."
Zoeya: "I don't know about that but I am not a foe".
Chat Noir: "Oh, so you treat all people like this."
Zoeya: "I was just asking some questions. None of them puts you or Ladybug in a bad light. They are important."
Chat Noir: "None of those question said anything about how much we have helped Paris".
Zoeya: "Becuase that's not a question. It is a statement. And with all your respect, I think there are enough people here to do that."
Chat Noir: "Oh. Well, I guess Paris' journalist are not good enough for the great journalist."
Zoeya: "That's not what I meant. I am just saying that there is a habit of looking at the world in this universal telescope and when we do that, other people get hurt. I just want to make sure that we don't do that."
Chat Noir: "Well, why don't you just let me know when I am doing my job wrong. I am sure you can do it all much better."
Zoeya: "You don't understand. I am not trying to criticize you."
Chat Noir: "Try harder".
Zoeya (angrily): "Why are everybody here so damn afraid of questions and the truth?"
Chat Noir: "Truth? What truth? The truth of how we are just some famous and loved outlaws?"
Zoeya (looks away): "You know what. Nevermind. If that's what you think, then it must be true."
Zoeya leaves. Chat Noir looks after her. He is joined by Nino by the door.
Nino: "Dude, was that Zoeya Khan?"
Chat Noir: "Zoeya Khan?"
Nino: "Yeah man. She is an amazing writer. She is working for the Daily Witness now."
Chat Noir: "She's the one you who have a massive crush on?"
Nino (suddenly flustered): Dude! No! That is not what I said! I just admire her, man."
Chat Noir (smirks): "That is not what it sounds like"
Nino: "Come on. I have a girlfriend. I just like her style. She is optimistic but reflective. She is willing to take the big fights. She only moved Paris this month and she is not holding back."
Chat Noir: "Yeah. You have a crush on her"
Nino: "Dude!"
Chat Noir: "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Cat's Honor"
Chat Noir laughs and then extends his bludgeon to jump on the hotel's roof and disappear into the night.
Scene Ends.
