STARK TOWER, NEW YORK after the events of THOR THE DARK WORLD
Around a large table in a sumptuous high tech multi million dollar environment Stark Enterprises CEO PEPPER POTTS and DR. JANE FOSTER. enjoy a glass of wine over what looks like a very expensive meal.
Nearby DARCY LEWIS pours herself another large glass of red wine from a carafe.

But it's Asgard Jane.. surely...

JANE FOSTER
Oh sure, it is amazing, on so many levels. But try and get a Burrito for breakfast .. I guess if I talked to Volstagg..

<interrups, slurring>
You can't get Burritos for breakfast in London either.

Pepper and Foster ignore her and continue to talk about Asgard. Darcy gets up from the table with her wine glass and approaches a dancing head up display filled with lights and graphics. This is run by JARVIS.
DARCY LEWIS
<waving her hand at the graphics> So err.. Jarvis.. are you an actual artificial intelligence?
JARVIS
I believe Mr Stark would refer to me as a Cognitive Simulant
DARCY LEWIS
<struggling to be interested>
What's the difference exactly?
JARVIS
Miss Lewis according to my records you took a political science major?
DARCY LEWIS
Science. Yeah. Political Science.
JARVIS
<wearily> Then yes - I'm an artificial intelligence.
Darcy has lost interest. She plays with the music controls on the headup display. Jarvis tries to protest.
As Duran Duran comes on Darcy kicks of her shoes, climbs onto the table and starts to dance.
The song is "Is There Something I should Know?"
Jane ties to apologise to Pepper but Pepper is smiling

DARCY LEWIS
She doesn't pay me
JANE FOSTER
No I don't pay her

<some inebriated guilt leaks out>
You know Darcy we should talk about that
Darcy shrugs
JANE FOSTER:
<returns to Pepper>
So are you going to give me the S.H.I.E.L.D. sales pitch?
<returns to Pepper>
So are you going to give me the S.H.I.E.L.D. sales pitch?
PEPPER POTTS
I don't do sales. We have a Division for that. Its fair to say though that we've seen the best of them and you've seen the worst.
JANE FOSTER
You make S.H.I.E.L.D. sound like the I.R.S.

I wouldn't have taken you for one of the anti-government types
JANE FOSTER:

TONY STARK enters. He is surprised.
PEPPER POTTS
Well rather than wait for us all to bump into each other in some extreme situation that you or S.H.I.E.L.D , Steve, or Bruce or...
<shrugs>
DARCY LEWIS
Jane's boyfriend
PEPPER POTTS

STARK :
Girls night out?
PEPPER POTTS
Well, night in - for me.
JANE FOSTER
<looks around Stark Tower interior> : For us, this is definitely a night out
STARK
Is there a reason Jane's boyfriend isn't here?
PEPPER POTTS
Yes. I didn't invite him.
<Stark tastes wine from carafe>
STARK
Is that the Domaine le Roy '64?
PEPPER POTTS
<mischievous smile>
How would you know if it was?
STARK
<Tony runs the wine over his palate - it's just not interesting enough a subject for him>. Oh - OK
<raises a toast to Foster and Lewis>
Dr Foster, I've admired you work
JANE FOSTER
I know - You tried to make it a compulsory purchase through S.H.I.E.L.D. after New Mexico.
JANE FOSTER

<seriously>
It is an honour to meet Tony Stark
STARK
<ignores her, raises his glass and smiles at Darcy>
Princess
<Darcy gives a snarky smile in return and adjusts her glasses>
STARK
Careful on the table, it can double as an automated medical facility. So, three of you - hardly a party?
DARCY :
We've left the other two, we think they have some issues to work out
<Camera pans to balcony, behind soundproof glass NATASHA ROMANOV and BETTY ROSS, have not touched their drinks and are in heated discussion. Betty is wiping away tears.>
<Stark and Foster have in an instant science competitive edge>
STARK
It's a shame you weren't around to see more of the action in New York
JANE FOSTER
I've seen plenty of similar since
STARK
Word is you are working with Eric Solveig again
JANE FOSTER
He is a genius in the field. A valuable member of my team
STARK
He's also a diagnosed schizophrenic dabbling in a new science we barely know
JANE FOSTER
I would guess he's already forgotten more on the subject of wormhole tech than you'll ever know
STARK :
Well that much is true. And the fact that that British papers call Solvieg is a traitor to the human race isn't an issue?
JANE FOSTER
I've known Eric for years and he built a life on sound science and being a human being without selling any weapons
<Darcy and Foster high five each other and Darcy climbs down from the table>

You should meet Banner, he's high on the morals as well. I'd try and keep the irritant levels to a minimum with him though.

<Stark leaves, with a wink at Darcy. She grimaces back at him>
JANE FOSTER
<to Pepper>
I've got to ask - what do you see in that guy?
PEPPER POTS
He's obviously not your type
JANE FOSTER
Obviously
PEPPER POTS
Well, he's smart - but not that smart. There is one technical challenge he'll never work out.
DARCY LEWIS
Is it taking a crap in the Iron Man suit?

PEPPER POTS
No he got around that early on

no the one thing he'll never solve is the thing that looks back at him from the bathroom mirror every day.
