JEFFREY:

That's good.

Jeffrey moves to get out of bed.

DOROTHY:

(she poses)

Do you like my body?

JEFFREY:

Sure I do.

She moves closer to him, towards his back touching it with her tongue.

She gets down in a pose and holds it.

DOROTHY:

I'm a statue. you can feel me.you

can do anything you want.

Jeffrey's hands find her flesh and move about.

DISSOLVE TO:

Jeffrey and Dorothy are making love in her bed in almost total darkness.

DOROTHY:

(dreamily)

What do you want to do?

JEFFREY:

I'm doing it.

DOROTHY:

Are you a bad boy?

JEFFREY:

Whatiya mean?

DOROTHY:

Do you want to do bad things?

(very dreamy)

Anything. anything.

JEFFREY:

(whispering hot)

What do you want?

DOROTHY:

I want you to hurt me.

JEFFREY:

No. I told you. I don't want to hurt you.

I want to help you. I think I know some of

what is happening to you.

(she doesn't react)

. Dorothy? Frank has your husband and son.

Dorothy? Doesn't he? You have to do

something Dorothy. go to the police.

DOROTHY:

No police!!!.

(pushing herself back against

the headboard; then frantic)

No police!!

Suddenly, Dorothy gets very odd. She turns into a little girl. She has

a frightening little girl smile.

DOROTHY:

You like to open me. don't you?

JEFFREY:

Yes.

DOROTHY:

(thinking with a grin)

What if I told Frank that you opened me?

For just one quiet moment we see the stairway to Dorothy's apartment.

It is empty. Then back to Jeffrey and Dorothy.

JEFFREY:

That wouldn't be too good, would it?

DOROTHY:

Frank would open you.

JEFFREY:

Okay. I know you've been scared. now you

want to scare someone.

DOROTHY:

(smiles very strangely)

Does that scare you?

JEFFREY:

Shut up.

DOROTHY:

Beeeee careful.

JEFFREY:

(scared and mad)

Come on Dorothy.

DOROTHY:

What if Frank came over here and found us?

The curtains in the kitchen bellow out with an eerie gust of wind.

JEFFREY:

Look, snap out of it, will ya?

DOROTHY:

Kiss me.

They kiss.

DOROTHY:

(continuing)

Do you love me?

JEFFREY:

Do you love me?

DOROTHY:

I asked first.

JEFFREY:

Sometimes I think I do.

DOROTHY:

And sometimes you think you don't?! Well,

get away then!

She bolts up.

JEFFREY:

Wait a minute. Wait. Whatiya want? For

cryin' out loud!

DOROTHY:

Just get outta my bed.

She hits out at Jeffrey and strikes him in the face. Jeffrey struggles

with her to keep her from hitting him again but she breaks loose and slams

out at his face again. He pushes back hard and her head actually hits the

wall. She smiles through the pain.

JEFFREY:

Oh God. are you alright.

She falls on him and smothers him with kisses.

DOROTHY:

See. see how you hurt me? Now. Open

me. enter me.

Jeffrey moves on top of her in the darkness.

We move very close to Jeffrey's ear as Dorothy's lips come up and whisper

into it.

DOROTHY:

I love you Don with all my heart.

JEFFREY:

No. it's not Don.

But he can't stop himself or her from making love.

DOROTHY:

Come inside me. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.

(very frantic)

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.

The movement subsides. There is silence in the room, except for breathing.

JEFFREY:

I didn't mean to hurt you.

DOROTHY:

Shhhhhh. Now I have your disease.

JEFFREY:

You. what?

DOROTHY:

You put your disease in me. your semen.

it's hot and full of disease.

JEFFREY:

There's no disease, I can tell you.

DOROTHY:

Men are crazy. then they put their

craziness into me. then it makes me

crazy. then they aren't so crazy for

awhile. then they put their craziness

in me again.

(starts crying)

. it's burning me. but I love you. I

do, I do. Did you know that? Did you

know that I love you?

JEFFREY:

(very apprehensive)

I'm glad you do.

DOROTHY:

There's so much I want to tell you. I'm in

so much darkness though with things moving.

there is darkness sucking me. It's kissing

me and darkness is entering me. in every

hole. It's opening me to a death.

JEFFREY:

Dorothy. no!

DOROTHY:

(whispering)

If I die, then they'll be free. It's

getting late, isn't it? I can tell. it's

a cold feeling when it's late. It's warm

then it gets cold. Jeffrey. I feel it

getting cold.

JEFFREY:

You called me Jeffrey.

DOROTHY:

I did. are you?

JEFFREY:

Yes.

DOROTHY:

Why are you here?

(Jeffrey gets on top

of her again)

Hmmmmmmmm!!!! Ok.

JEFFREY:

No. not really.

(they kiss - very hot)

but also because I really want you

to be alright.

Dorothy stops and looks at him - she holds his face. She starts to cry.

DOROTHY:

You do .you really do.

She continues holding his face - looking in his eyes crying openly.

he pulls him down to her.

DOROTHY:

Jeffrey. Jeffrey. Jeffrey.

Jeffrey smiles.

JEFFREY:

I guess I should go.

DOROTHY:

I want you to stay with me.

JEFFREY:

I think I better go.

146. INT. DOROTHY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Later. Jeffrey is dressed and Dorothy comes out of the bathroom in her

robe. She is combing her hair. One or two lights are on now. She looks

at Jeffrey and smiles, brushes some of his hair back from his face.

DOROTHY:

You're my special friend, aren't you?

(whispers)

I have you inside of me still.

(big smile)

It helps me. I need you.

Jeffrey doesn't know what to say. He starts walking toward the door with

Dorothy beside him.

JEFFREY:

(lying)

I'll call you.

DOROTHY:

Okay. soon? Do you think I'm too fat?

JEFFREY:

What?

DOROTHY:

I'm getting a little bit fat. I hate that.

JEFFREY:

You look beautiful to me.

She pats her hips.

DOROTHY:

Right in here. fat, fat, fat.

Dorothy takes the chain off the door and opens it. The hall is empty.

There is some noise on the stairs. Suddenly, Frank and TWO FRIENDS of

his come into view on the stairway.

JEFFREY:

(to Dorothy)

Oh no.

DOROTHY:

(her eyes glaze over -

she's gone again)

No.

(calling out to Frank)

Hi baby.

FRANK:

Who's this f***?

DOROTHY:

He's a friend. from the neighborhood.

we were just talking.

FRANK:

(to Jeffrey)

From the neighborhood?

(slowly)

Shut the f*** up.

(to Jeffrey)

You like telephones? Huh?. You wanta go

for a ride?

JEFFREY:

No thanks.

FRANK:

No thanks. what does that mean?

JEFFREY:

(very carefully)

I don't want to go.

FRANK:

Go where?

JEFFREY:

On a ride.

FRANK:

A ride?. Hell, that's a good idea. okay,

let's go. Hey, let's go.

Frank grabs Jeffrey and pulls him along.

FRANK:

(continuing to Dorothy)

Come on. We're goin' for a joy ride.

147. INT. STAIRWAY - APARTMENT BUILDING - NIGHT

Frank takes Jeffrey on a wide-eyed terror walk down the stairway.

CUT TO:

148. INT. FRANK'S CAR/CITY STREETS - NIGHT

Frank and Dorothy are in the front seat. Jeffrey is sandwiched between

two very dirty strange guys in the back. Frank is driving very fast and

very crazy. Sitting next to him on the front seat is a police radio which

periodically blares out police reports. At the lights, when they turn

green, Frank lays rubber.

FRANK:

Where you wanna go? I know!. We gotta see

Ben. We gotta, right?

PAUL:

(laughing)

Yeah. we gotta see Ben.

The car roars through a seedy street lined with bars and clubs. Liquor

and sex shop signs glow in hot neon colors. They are blurred visions

because of the speed of Frank's car.
