Four Rooms Page #7

Kiva sees a bit of weakening here; she takes her feet out of the Jacuzzi.

She begins to speak softly.

KIVA:

Please . . . if you just lemme . . . I'll play dress-up with

you, the way you like it . . . you know what I mean . . .

remember . . . ?

Elspeth begins to weaken. But continues to pull the brat up. Kiva pours on

softer seduction.

KIVA:

We can pretend and I'll do it exactly . . . the way you want

it . . . with the egg whites and the kilt.

Elspeth is now fully seduced. Kiva takes Elspeth's hand and presses it

lightly on her face.

ELSPETH:

You mean . . . like last week?

Kiva nods. Elspeth is enthralled, but from a disgusted "ick" sound from

Jezebel, Elspeth realizes she's revealing this side of her life--in front

of her coven. She nervously looks around and see all the coven looking at

her:
a disgusted Jezebel, an understanding Raven, a preoccupied Eva and an

impatient and stern Athena.

Elspeth comes to her senses, straightens her posture.

ELSPETH:

We'll talk about this later, Kiva.

KIVA:

(angrily)

No!

She turns on Elspeth and bites her hand. Elspeth pulls her arm away and

grabs Kiva by the hair.

JEZEBEL:

Aw, really now--child abuse?

ELSPETH:

You stay outta this!

ATHENA:

I demand this stop now, Elspeth!

Elspeth lets go of Kiva's hair. Kiva jerks away from her.

KIVA:

I'm running away from you!

ELSPETH:

Fine. Go ahead. And I'll call your parole officer and she'll

find you and send you back to Eastlake!

Kiva stomps off into the bedroom.

ATHENA:

Now that the f***ing melodrama is over, can we start

the goddamn ritual--pleeze?

Elspeth enters the powered circle. Each girl takes off her shoes. They

anoint themselves with oils.

ATHENA:

We are communing here on New Year's Eve to bring to life

the great goddess Diana, who was turned to stone in this

very room forty years ago today.

The girls moan in sleepy, eerie agreement as they begin to sway within the

circle.

ATHENA:

Diana, great beautiful one, we make these offerings to you,

that we may undo the wicked spell which deprived you of

the seed of your lover, your virginal blood, of your very life.

We now form the symbolic rock with our bodies.

And saying this, the girls all form a "rock" with their bodies gracefully

draped one upon the other. Music begins, and slowly they start to unfold

from the rock. The girls each find their place in a semicircle around the

Jacuzzi. Some bare their breasts, other strip off a layer of clothes. They

anoint their arms with water from the Jacuzzi.

They begin a lovely dance, snaking their way around the semicircle. The

first one to go from one end to the other is Athena. She then proceeds up

the stairs and positions herself between the altar and the Jacuzzi. She

steps forth with a bottle to the altar and pours it into the Jacuzzi.

ATHENA:

On this night, in this hour, we

Call upon the Ancient Power

O Goddess bride, I offer thee

Milk from a mother's sweet titty!

Each of the girls moans eerily. Athena places the bottle on the altar and

bows away. She joins the circle as Elspeth now steps forward with her

offering in a vial.

ELSPETH:

To reverse the evil which has been done

I make this offering to the Divine One

A whore not, an innocent was,

For whom I seized a virgin's blood.

JEZEBEL:

Goddess of Light, Goddess of Lust,

To undo this awful spell is a real must.

To bring you life and get you high

I offer the sweat of five men's thighs.

The girls moan loudly as they sway. Jezebel places her offering in the hot

tub and bows out, returning to the circle. Now Raven comes forth with a

small leather canteen. She unscrews the lid as she offers in her opiate

stupor.

RAVEN:

Diana, oh great one, we live without sun

Until this wicked curse is undone.

In hope that you live, and to us appear,

I have collected a year's worth of tears.

She pours liquid into the mix, as the witches moan. Now it's Eva's turn.

Eva continues to sway, not moving forth to the altar. The girls keep their

eyes closed as they sway, waiting for Eva's offering. Athena finally gives

her a push and she goes.

Eva kneels before the altar. She produces a silver bottle with a chain on

its cap and neck. She timidly begins to incant.

EVA:

Great Goddess Diana, fail you I will,

I was to bring fresh sperm from my Bill.

I had him erect, and his semen would follow

But alas I was hot, so hot that I swallowed.

The moans turn to wails as the girls GASP and SHRIEK! Athena opens her

eyes, wildly.

ATHENA:

You stupid little witch! You swallowed the sperm! Aye-yi--yi!

Elspeth opens her eyes and folds her arms, smirking bitterly.

ELSPETH:

It just shows what an amazing lack of control you have over

yourself, Eva!

JEZEBEL:

Honey, why didn't you just use your hands? Didn't your

mama teach you not to put them things in your mouth?

RAVEN:

I understand though . . .

Eva bursts into tears. Athena is firm.

ATHENA:

There is no time to cry over swallowed sperms. You're

gonna have to get some, baby. You have one hour to prove

what kind of witch you really are.

Just then:
a knock at the door.

ATHENA:

(calling out)

What do you want?!
