Scene description
After a female customer has finished (choking the BOY ANGEL), MRS. X.E. enters the room of the BOY ANGEL, holding him. At first this seems like a comforting gesture, but then she begins to force herself on him, encouraging HIS hands to explore HER breasts. SHE kisses him gently at first, then becomes aggressive. Meanwhile a man forces the GIRL ANGEL to smoke methamphetamines.
MRS. X.E. takes an axe to the "FOR SALE" sign. The GIRL ANGEL jerks the john off to completion.
