  • Early 1960s brothel & blonde madame (1930s heiress) have tea in a café. Tinder in the air as we all duck down in a panic before a match is struck. Cut to madame in a pink dress sitting at the wheel of a blue burnt-out beetle car. She's physically unharmed but regressing to when her strict father used to lock her up in a heart-shaped cage. Steel bars bolt down after the beetle into the white ground floor of her former mansion, metal noises screeching as madame aims to drive the car up the steps of a grand staircase (this last scene taking on the quality of a Tex Avery cartoon).
