INT. OLYMPIC APARTMENT COMPLEX - ITALY - LATER
Lainey and her Mom enter. The lobby is bustling with athletes.
OLIVIA
Wow, it's like the perfect human specimen convention.
Lainey looks around at all of the good-looking athletes. They head to check-in.
INT. OLYMPIC APARTMENT COMPLEX - CHECK-IN - SECONDS LATER
Lainey presents her credentials. She and her Mom notice a glass jar of condoms sitting on the table.
OLIVIA
I guess sex is an official Olympic sport.
OLYMPIC CHECK-IN REP
It's good to be safe.
Lainey smiles as she's handed a welcome bag.
OLYMPIC CHECK-IN REP (CONT'D)
Ciao. (to Olivia) They're free.
OLIVIA
I'm married.
A HOT MALE ATHLETE walks up and dumps a bunch of condoms in his bag and then winks at Lainey.
LAINEY
This is going to be interesting.
Lainey and her Mom grab their suitcases and head to the elevator.
INT. OLYMPIC STADIUM - OPENING CEREMONIES - BACKSTAGE - NIGHT
ANNOUNCERS introduce athletes from around the world to a SCREAMING CROWD. Lainey stands with her FELLOW AMERICAN ATHLETES in their Team USA Olympic uniforms ready to enter the stadium. She sees the U.S. Men's Ski Team but doesn't see Cory. Their group starts moving toward the entrance to the stadium and the excited fans.
As they enter the stadium, an emotional Lainey wipes away a tear.
EXT. OLYMPIC VILLAGE - NIGHT
Cory walks around the Olympic Village and runs into a group of PARTYING ATHLETES.
PARTYING ATHLETE #1
Hey, it's Cory Murphy! This guy's a gold medalist--THREE TIMES!
PARTYING ATHLETE #2
Impressive man. Can't wait to see what you do this week.
CORY
You guys heading to a party?
PARTYING ATHLETE #2
Yeah, come on.
They walk off together.

Vodka shots flow and the music pumps in the living room.
INT. PARTY VILLA - HOT TUB - NIGHT
Cory's with TWO SEXY FEMALE HOCKEY PLAYERS in a hot tub. He offers them shots of tequila.
FEMALE HOCKEY PLAYER #1
No thanks, we have a game in two days. We really want to work off this pre-game tension though. Are you interested in giving us a hand?
She leans over and kisses Cory while the other rubs them both.
INT. LAINEY'S OLYMPIC APARTMENT - NIGHT
Lainey wakes up and looks over at the clock. It's 3 a.m. She gets up quietly and throws on some tights and a thin sweater. She grabs her skating bag and heads out the door.
EXT. OLYMPIC VILLAGE - NIGHT
The wind is fierce as Lainey walks. It's quiet as all of the athletes rest. And it's starting to snow.
CORY (O.C.)
Hi.
Lainey jumps. She turns around, disgusted to see it's Cory. She keeps walking.
CORY (CONT'D)
Where are you going?
Lainey shows him her bag with her skates.
CORY (CONT'D)
This early? Shouldn't you be sleeping? Aren't you jet-lagging?
