INT. BATHROOM - PENTHOUSE APARTMENT - MANHATTAN - DAY
A gorgeous marble bathroom. High ceilings, massive shower, et cetera. The room is empty, still, quiet. There are products there - shampoo, conditioner, soap - but they are displayed in such a way that they seem unused. The place does not quite feel lived in.
Most notably, behind the shower is an enormous glass wall. There are no blinds or curtains of any sort. The view provides us with a beautiful view of Manhattan - notably, other buildings nearby that we can see into.
Two people burst into the room - MAN and WOMAN. They are both naked, and making out passionately as he moves her towards the shower. She turns to look at the shower area. She breaks off the kiss.
WOMAN
Are you crazy?
The Man keeps kissing her. She breaks it off again.
WOMAN
I'm not fucking you in that shower, _______.* Half of Manhattan can see us.
(* In these moments, the character speaks the name of the other character, and while we see their lips moving, the word is beeped out.)
MAN
Baby, relax.
The Man gets into the shower. He looks out through the glass windows.
MAN
It's double-sided glass. We can see out, but they can't see in.
The Woman looks out through the glass. She still hasn't stepped into the shower. A beat.
WOMAN
Really?
MAN
C'mere.
He grabs her and pulls her into the shower, thrusting her back up against the glass. They begin to have sex as he looks out towards the city.
CUT TO:
INT. NEARBY APARTMENT - CONTINOUS
A nice apartment, but not opulent the way the last one was. In a living room, a movie crew is gathered. Our camera faces them, and their camera, which is filming something behind our camera. In other words, they are filming something, but we don't know what.
EXT. PENTHOUSE APARTMENT - CONTINOUS
A voyeuristic view of the couple, fucking in the shower. This is clearly what the movie crew is filming.

i like it, i think, could be a good scene. doesn't quite work yet as a short, but i think you know that.
love the bathroom description -- if you want a magnificent architectural description, relating characters and setting and such, you should find the passage describing Renée's toilette from Zola's La Curée. i think it's called "The Kill" in english. anyway, it's a brilliant description of this room that is her, sumptuous, naked and yet not, white marble, flowing pink fabric...it's fabulous.
