INT. BEN'S APARTMENT - LATER
ANGLE on one of Ben's art photos - it's a nude shot, but the nude figure is distorted by lighting, almost to the point where you cannot tell it's a human form. The picture is REALLY messed up and deranged. A SKULL covers the face of the figure, and blood drips from her hands.
NINA (O.S.)
I like this one.
BEN
Please don't look at that.
NINA
You don't like it?
BEN
It's not the way I see things.
NINA
Are you sure?
(beat)
Is it like your dreams? BEN
No!
NINA
It looks like fun.
BEN
What? Do you know what I dream about? In my dreams I butcher people!
NINA
Well, we all have to have hobbies darling.
BEN
What the hell are you talking about? Sometimes I wake up with the taste of blood in my mouth. NINA
Oh  come on now, that happens to everyone.
BEN
I don't even know what I'm doing when I'm asleep --
I can't tell if I've killed people in real life!
She walks up to him, looks into his eyes and CHUCKLES. He blanches at this.
NINA
No. You haven't killed anybody, Ben. I can tell.
BEN
(And how can you tell that?)
NINA
I have a sense for it.
(beat)
It's normal.
BEN
It's not normal to dream about killing people.
NINA
Well, when I said "normal," I meant "normal for us."
BEN
"Us?"
NINA
I experience those things too.
His jaw drops.
BEN
How is that even possible?
She takes his hands in her's.
NINA
It's no coincidence we've met twice -
