Not long after Qualley and Viswanathan’s characters find out that they happen to be in possession of the famous senator’s most absurd blackmail possible—a steel briefcase full of phalluses, plus the Collector’s severed head in a hatbox—a seemingly aged Damon is then seen in bed with Hannah Montana star in flashback.
As the Oscar winner, 53, writhes in pleasure in an apparently drug-induced haze, Cyrus can be seen straddling him and mouthing assurances that the two will be together forever. Although nothing below the waist is shown, it becomes clear that Tiffany is making a cast of his penis for what will become one of the briefcase sex toys.
