The scene opens with a conversation between a young woman named Charlotte and a young man named Shelton, both of whom are students at a famous restaurant in Paris. Shelton asks Charlotte if she enjoyed the cakes she made for him, and Charlotte tells him that it was the best she had ever had. He tells her that the competition was better than hers, and that she had lost her style. He asks her if she would like to use his own makeup, and she says that she would, but that she must use her own. He says that he is here to tell her that she is evil, and to make sure that she gets rid of her.
