1960 - DALLAS, TEXAS

Klaus and Guinevere sat at a booth in Stadler's. Guinevere absentmindedly stirred her salad with her fork.

Klaus glanced at his sister-in-law. "Dear, are you all right?"

"No," Guinevere mumbled.

The manager approached their booth and looked at Klaus. "You need to get out. You smell and you're frightening my clientele."

"How dare you," Klaus said. "I am a member of the Royal Family. The two of us are." Klaus' arm was grabbed and he grunted.

"You are not members of..."

"He's touching my inappropriately!"

"I told you once, I told you twice!"

"He's touching me!"

"Get out!" The manager threw Klaus out, and he hit the ground with a thud.

Guinevere let out a sigh and handed the manager a ten dollar bill. "That should cover it."

The manager looked at the ten and his eyes widened. "Thanks, ma'am!"

Ben watched as he leaned against the outside of the restaurant.

"Don't come back till you can pay your damn bill!" the manager yelled, turning to Guinevere. "You can come by any time. He still needs to pay his bill."

Klaus stared at a pair of white pumps. "Chanel."

A white-haired woman gasped and lowered her sunglasses. "Oh, you poor thing. Let me help you up." She offered her hand and Klaus stared at her with wide eyes. "Oh! Oh!"

"Thank you."

"Come with me."

"Okay." The two started walking.

"I'll take care of you."

Ben frowned. "Seriously, Klaus?"

Unknowingly, at the same time as Ben, Guinevere said, "Seriously, Klaus?"

INT. BUILDING

Klaus was led to the front of the room by the elderly woman. He waved his hands and began levitating, and the crowd to applauded.

"Thank you," Klaus said.

Ben held Klaus in the air. He turned Klaus in the air and began grunting under Klaus' weight.

"Okay," Ben stated, dropping Klaus.

Guinevere rolled her eyes before leaving the room. She didn't want to be around Klaus more than she had to. Her first mission was to find an apartment, which she hoped wouldn't be too hard.

Klaus grinned and sat up before he stood. He threw petals behind him.

Ben was on the bottom of the level. He looked at a girl across the way and smiled, but she obviously didn't notice; despite her book.

"Everybody duck!" a man cried.
