Blue Velvet Page #9

FRANK:

(studying her)

. spread your legs.

Dorothy slowly spreads her legs. She can see Jeffrey staring out of the

darkness of the closet at her.

FRANK:

wider.

She opens her legs wider. Frank looks at her crotch and drinks his

bourbon. He stares at the floor for a moment, then slowly looks back at

Dorothy, her body - her crotch.

Dorothy looks up at the ceiling, waiting. Frank suddenly reaches to his

belt, where he has a small canister and a mask. He opens a valve on the

canister and places the mask over his nose and mouth. The canister is

filled with helium, which makes Frank's voice very high and strange

sounding. The result is frightening.

FRANK:

(high voice)

. mommy.

Dorothy jumps. She keeps looking at the ceiling.

FRANK:

(continuing, with high voice)

. MOMMY!.

DOROTHY:

(frightened)

. mommy's here.

FRANK:

(high voice)

Baby wants to f***.

Then, Frank's voice goes to normal.

FRANK:

(normal voice, but loud - like

an army order to himself)

GET READY TO F***!

Frank goes to Dorothy and kneels down in front of her. He takes one more

gasp of helium.

FRANK:

(high voice)

Baby wants blue velvet.

Dorothy opens her robe and gives a part of the robe to Frank.

DOROTHY:

(whispering)

Okay.

Frank slowly moves

Frank slowly moves his mouth to the robe and runs his lips along the

texture of the velvet. His hands rub the velvet and feel Dorothy's body

underneath. His hands start feeling her breasts as he sucks and bites the

velvet robe.

Dorothy is very frightened but she is getting hot in spite of her fear.

Then Frank, in a sort of sickening way, pulls Dorothy down to rug. He

warns her.

FRANK:

Don't look at me!

He begins stuffing part of the robe into her mouth. Then, he pushes her

arms back and she keeps them back, letting Frank have his way. Frank

sucks and bites the velvet coming out of her mouth, while he pinches and

feels her breasts in a strange, compulsive, timidly sickening way.

Dorothy is moaning. Frank is breathing very heavily. He feels her crotch.

FRANK:

Don't look at me!!!

(heavy breathing)

Daddy's home.

He starts stuffing the robe in his mouth now and he gets on top of Dorothy.

He starts humping her and pulling her nude body up and down him. Faster

and faster, then he has a climax in his pants. Dorothy's head is falling

back. She can see Jeffrey blurred in the distance - in the closet.

Cautiously, she looks sideways at Frank.

FRANK:

(screaming)

Don't look at me!!!

He slugs her in the face. His nose is running and he's stifling sobs from

deep within him. On his hands and knees, he moves away. The robe pulls

out of his mouth. His breathing is even heavier now. He stands and

begins to move around the apartment. He goes to a wall, turns off the

lights, then turns and walks into the bathroom, all the while breathing

big, heavy breaths, trying to stop the crying. Dorothy moans softly.

It gets very quiet and still for a moment. Then, Jeffrey hears Frank

with his high helium voice talking to himself in the bathroom. The high,

strange sound reverberates in the distance. Jeffrey can't make it out -

soon, he hears Frank's high laughing. Frank comes back into the living

room. The mask is around his face. All his breathing - every sound is

high . He laughs a little and crosses the darkened room to the door.

FRANK:

Stay alive baby. See you next Christmas!

Frank leaves and shuts the door. The apartment is silent except for

Dorothy's moans.

Jeffrey is stunned. He doesn't move. He watches Dorothy in the

half-light. She rolls over and starts crying. The crying is deep and

genuine.

Slowly, Jeffrey emerges from the closet and goes to her. He bends down

and touches her. She flinches and turns to see him. She turns back

sobbing. He tries to get her up.

JEFFREY:

Why don't you come lie down. Come on, I'll

help you.

She struggles up with Jeffrey's help and he takes her over to the bed.

She falls down on her side, turned toward the wall. He covers her with

the sheet.

DOROTHY:

Don't.

(referring to the sheet)

I don't like that. What do you want?

JEFFREY:

Nothing. Are you alright?

DOROTHY:

Sure I'm alright.

(she starts crying again)

JEFFREY:

I'll go then.

He starts to put on his underwear. They're inside out. He tries to turn

them around.

DOROTHY:

Don?

JEFFREY:

No.

DOROTHY:

Don. Hold me. I'm scared. Hold me.

Please.

Jeffrey turns to her. He studies her. He reaches out and takes her

shoulders. He moves down and holds her.

DOROTHY:

(whispering)

Thank you. honey.

JEFFREY:

(whispering)

It's okay. It's okay.

They lie together for a long silent moment.

DOROTHY:

Do you like the way I feel?

JEFFREY:

(hesitates)

Yes.

DOROTHY:

See my breasts? . See?

Jeffrey looks.

JEFFREY:

Yes.

DOROTHY:

See my nipples?

JEFFREY:

Yes.

DOROTHY:

(whispering)

You can kiss them if you want. Fell them

. They're getting hard.

Jeffrey starts to move closer. Dorothy closes her eyes.

DOROTHY:

(continuing)

Go ahead. I don't mind.

Jeffrey can't help himself. He licks and sucks her nipples and feels her

breasts. They both are getting very hot.

DOROTHY:

Feel me.

Jeffrey is all over her now. Dorothy suddenly seems to recognize him.

DOROTHY:

You can hit me, if you want to.

JEFFREY:

No. please. I won't.

Dorothy arches back and whining she throws her head back hard against the

wall.

JEFFREY:

Stop it!

She moves and won't let him feel her anymore. She holds his hands away.

DOROTHY:

(whispering)

Do you like me?

JEFFREY:

(whispering)

Yes, I like you.

DOROTHY:

(whispering)

You can be my special friend and come and

put that in me.

They start making love. Suddenly, Dorothy starts crying.

JEFFREY:

What's the matter?

Suddenly Dorothy slaps Jeffrey in the face. very hard.

DOROTHY:

Get off me.

Jeffrey gets off her, pressing his hand to his face. Dorothy goes into

the bathroom crying all the way. Jeffrey sits, confused.

Suddenly Jeffrey hears a horrible scream from Dorothy. A true scream of

horror. He rushes into the bathroom to see what is wrong.

92. INT. DOROTHY'S BATHROOM - NIGHT

She is just flushing something down the toilet. The water SOUND rushes.

He turns to her. She is trembling and in a state of shock.

DOROTHY:

I made it go down the toilet.

JEFFREY:

What?

He looks in the swirling water. It looks like an ear revolving around and

around then whatever it is disappears.

DOROTHY:

I made it go down the toilet.

Jeffrey looks up. he sees written with a bar of soap the words "look down"

on the mirror.

He looks down into the sink. At the bottom he sees a small clot of blood

and a smear of fresher blood.

Jeffrey suddenly remembers mentally Frank's high helium voice reverberating

in the bathroom.

93. INT. DOROTHY'S BATHROOM - NIGHT

FLASHBACK:

Frank in bathroom.

94. INT. DOROTHY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

FLASHBACK:

95. INT. DOROTHY'S BATHROOM - NIGHT

JEFFREY:

(inner voice)

Next Christmas. Is he Santa Claus who has

left a present for Dorothy? What was it?

An ear? Another ear?!!

(out loud, to Dorothy)

What was it?
