[Knock on the door.]
SATINE That must be him.
[Satine opens the door and sees her friend Natalie, Mike, and Darien.]

[Setting: An American restaurant]
DARIEN So you have three children?
SATINE Yes I do, Monsieur Darien.
DARIEN What are their names?
SATINE Adam, Devon, and Calista. They're triplets.
DARIEN Do you know who the father is?
SATINE As a matter of fact, I do. His name is Christian. You see, I was a courtesan at the Moulin Rouge three years ago. I was also known as "The Sparkling Diamond."
DARIEN Oh, I known this story, Mike told it.
SATINE He did?
DARIEN Yes. Natalie told him and then he told me.
SATINE Natalie is such a fucking bitch.
[Four years have passed.]
SATINE Darien, how do you feel about going to France for a vacation?
DARIEN But what about Calista's condition?
SATINE She'll be alright. Now you better get to work before you're late.
CALISTA Bye, Daddy.
DARIEN Bye, my little princess. Now be good at school and stay close to your brothers.
SATINE Vite vite, Adam. Vite vite, Devon. You'll be late for school.
[Three hours have passed and Satine receives a phone call from one of Darien's friends. He told her that at during his duty shift he was shot by a loose criminal. Also he was taken to the nearest hospital and died on the way there.]
SATINE (to herself) I vow that in six years, I will move back to Paris.
