[On Christmas Eve a delivery is at the door of a pretty summer dress in light purples and greens; a make-up set including colourful lipsticks and eyeshadows; a box of (untainted) chocolates - assorted creams which are, typical to the city, in suggestive shapes; - and a note: Best wishes for the season! Thanks for being part of the team! Here's to great film successes in the New Year! Keep being beautiful and stay out of trouble! ~ Quentin Beck. In a separate box, delivered at the same time, is a white scarf and a mug with the Creeping Bomber artwork emblazoned on them in gold.]
[Eponine’s clutching the unopened present, beaming.]
Monsieur! Mr Beck! Thank you, oh thank you! You see you have given me my first real gift in paper and that since I was a little girl. Thank you thank you thank you!!
[Its almost as if she forgot there was actually a present inside. Carefully, she sets it down and plucks at a bit of the sellotape. She squeals in sheer excitement as it comes away.]
[She’s still carefully peeling away the sellotape and undoing the paper with painstaking precision. And then she realises there’s a dress in there and she squeals all over again.]
A dress? For me? Mr Beck, she is lovely. I’ll feel like a princess wearing it. And such colours! You know, I am collecting so many mermaid dresses. That’s what Gokudera got me, a mermaid dress as well. I love it! Thank you!
It’s lovely. Perfect. And you know, with a shawl and some fur boots now, it will be just perfect.
[Reverently, she sets the dress aside on her bed. She straightens the skirts before she returns to the parcel.]
Makeup? Oh, how lovely. Miss Glinda will be pleased. She likes playing with such things. She might make me look pretty if I beg her so prettily. And chocolate? Oh, thank you, Monsieur! To suck a chocolate dick? How funny! Truly, truly thank you, Sir.

Truly, I think nothing except that you are the kindest man. I’ve never had a present wrapped up and never so many as all of this. Truly, thank you!
