INT. MACUSA LOBBY -- DAY

High up -- a gigantic dial with many cogs and faces emblazoned with the legend: MAGICAL EXPOSURE THREAT LEVEL. The hand on the dial points to SEVERE: UNEXPLAINED ACTIVITY. Behind it hangs an imposing portrait of a majestic-looking witch: Seraphina Picquery, MACUSA president.

NEWT'S POV -- They move up a wide staircase and enter the main lobby -- a vast, impressive space with impossibly high vaulted ceilings.

Owls circulate, witches and wizards in 1920s dress are hard at work. Tina guides an impressed-looking Newt through the bustle. They pass several wizards sitting in a line, waiting to have their wands shined by a house-elf who operates a complex contraption of feathers.

TINA: "Hey, Red."

Newt and Tina reach an elevator. The doors open to reveal Red, a goblin bellboy.

RED: "Hey, Goldstein."

Tina pushes Newt inside.
