Zoom out of a diamond, as the silhouette of a woman’s hands eclipses the scene.

A woman’s hand plucks the diamond from its position.

Scene fades to a new image: dimly lit woman in blue holds a pistol, while a woman in red wears what appears to be a diamond-encrusted bikini with a diamond pendant. Camera zooms in on the woman lit in red.

The bikini turns out to be a diamond pendant.

Camera zooms out for a scene of woman’s bent leg and white cat wearing a diamond collar.
