Goddess Of Love Page #2

She came in here drunk one time.

- In the store?

- In the store.

You should have kicked her out.

It was crazy what was I gonna do?

I can't just kick somebody out of my store.

But that's a really good

gift for your neice.

Yeah, she started journaling and so I,

I want to encourage that, ya know?

I mean, kids these day,

if you can get them writing

Hello.

I'm so alone... Lonely.

I miss you baby. I miss you so.

I miss you baby. I could die.

How is it?

It's great. It's great.

Hmm, good.

I got you something today...

But you have to close your eyes...

Just do it, come on.

Okay... Two seconds.

Bri...

Okay, open.

Do you know what that is?

Uhhh... No.

That's me.

Okay.

That's Venus De Milo. She's

the goddess of love...

You know I was named after her.

Thank you. That's nice.

You're welcome.

- Hey, Bri?

- Yeah.

I know you said it's bad luck for people

to look at your photos before your show...

but can I please see them?

I don't have them framed yet.

I don't care about frames, it's okay.

Okay.

Okay... Cool.

Jesus, they're amazing.

Why do they all have masks?

I don't know. Mascarade theme, I guess.

Hmm...

This one is stunning.

Thank you. Very proud of that one.

See how she's turning away?

Sort of sad, but... I don't know,

inviting at the same time.

Who is she?

Uhh, an old friend, Christine.

Known her for years.

Hmm.

Hey, Bri?

Yeah.

How do you know Christine?

She was, uhh... friends with my wife.

She was her best friend.

What's the matter?

- Does she live around here?

- Yeah.

Okay... What does she do?

She, uhh... she owns an antique

store here in town.

Oh.

Did you guys ever hook up?

When Victoria passed away,

we had a short-lived thing.

Ya know, we got close.

Ya know we were both mourning the

same person, it sort of connected us.

But I never loved her.

Ya know, it was just something

that happened a long time ago.

And now we're just friends. I promise.

Hey, Bri?

Yeah.

I want you to photograph me.

Okay.

What if I turn a little bit?

And face the window?

That's fine.

Something like this.

Let's lose the mask. I uhh...

I don't think it's working on this one.

Okay.

We got it.

Really?

That's it. We got the shot.

We just started though?

We only need that one shot...

We just got it.

Okay.

Do you want to get some sushi?

Uhh... Got a really busy day.

Okay, I could umm, come back later,

we could do dinner?

I can make you some pasta and

we can have some red wine?

Umm... Got a lot of meetings

tonight, ya know? Work stuff, so...

That's fine, I should probably work...

anyway.

Qu'est ce tu en pense?

Bravo.

Now if you wanted to say that

you agree you would say,

Je suis d'accord.

Excellent.

If you did not agree you would say...

- Hey, how are you?

- Christine, hey.

- So good to see you.

- So good to see you too.

Oh, thank you.

Let's get your coat off.

Oh, yeah.

You're looking slick and slender there.

Oh yeah, wow.

Get the f*** outta my way.

Jesus!

Watch it, b*tch!

F*** off! Motherf***er!

Sh*t, look at this... What's up baby?

Hey, where you going?

F***ing crazy b*tch!

F***.

Hello.

Can I come up?

Fine.

Can I come in?

Come in.

You wanna sit down?

So, what's up?

I got your note.

Why did you follow me?

Why did you lie to me?

Because you wouldn't have understood,

and I didn't want to fight.

Look, Christine has a boyfriend, okay?

And we're just friends.

Look, Venus, this is hard, like...

I really care about you.

I just can't see you anymore.

The truth of it is...

I'm just not over my wife.

I try to be, I do... I'm just not.

I fell for you, Venus, I really did...

but with the way things are...

I need to be alone... Venus?

I'm gonna go, okay?

Wait!

Wait.

Venus.

Venus, Venus... Venus, Venus...

I can't do this.

Okay?

I'm sorry.

I gotta go.

Hey it's Brian here,

uhh, sorry I missed your call.

Leave a message and

I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Scotch on the rocks.

You're supposed to look at me when you

toast, didn't you ever hear that?

Ahh, sorry, it was burning.

It's bad luck if you don't do that,

so now we're cursed.

- I can live with that.

- Yeah...

Okay. Are you sure?

Um hm.

So do you think all women are whores?

Only the good ones.

What does that mean?

You gotta kiss an angel good morning

and love her like the devil

when you get back home

The devil... the devil, that's good.

- You like the devil?

- That's really good.

I'll bet you do like the devil.

I gotta go to the little girl's room.

Hey, hey!

What's the matter? Come on.

Stop for a sec. Hey, hey,

can you just stop? Hey! Hey!

AHHHH! F***!

Stupid c*nt!

You'll f***ing listen now, b*tch.

Hi. You must be Venus.

I would have come by earlier but

Brian says you work pretty late,

so I figured I'd give you

some time to sleep in...

Oh... Your stuff... from the house.

Brian's feeling really

weird about everything

as I'm sure you are too,

so I thought I'd make it

easier on both of you.

Look, I know this must be hard.

But honestly it's for the best.

Brian's very... complex,

Sometimes he just needs to be alone.

He's in a lot of pain

since Victoria died.

Highs and lows,

drinking, depression,

the occasional fling at the strip club...

he's just very...

lost.

And I'm really... the only one who...

knows how to take care of him.

F***ing b*tch.

F***.

I go, YOU go.

He said, no f*** you, you put me in there,

I didn't put you in there!

You put me in there 'cause

you f***ing told me.

And I said sh*t, f*** you, who are you?

Who are you?

Get outta my house! Get outta my house!

Hi sweetie,

I missed you. You wanna go outside?

Hey, it's me.

I just got back, I guess you're busy.

Anyway, I'm just hanging out.

I'll do some yoga, take a bath...

maybe... touch myself a little,

thinking about you...

Anyway uhh, give me call when you can.

Bye, sexy.

"Love, Venus."

I'll call you back.

Oh! Oh... Oh...

Oh, okay... Oh...

Get your hands off me.

Alright, yeah, okay...

Um hm...

Hey... look at me.

I am looking at you.

Uh-uh, mister... look at ME.

Here. Yeah. Yeah, that's good.

You wanna touch me?

Yeah, yeah.

Do it.

You sure? I can touch you?

- Do it.

- I can touch you right?

Touch me.

Not there.

Okay...

Right here... right here?

- Um hm.

- Touch you here? You like that?

Um hm.

Okay, oh... Yeah,

Okay, yeah... Okay...

What the f*** is this?

What did I f***ing tell you?!

You piece of sh*t! F***ing look at me!

You think's she's okay?

Rough night.

Holy sh*t.

She's really messed up.

Venus, are you okay?

Honey?

Girl, what's wrong with you?

Are you okay? Venus?

Venus, look at me.

Venus?

Hey!

Hey... hey! Girl, what the

f*** happened out there?

Are you high?

Venus! I told you to get the

f*** outta here. You're fired!

Alright, I'm get her outta here,

just give me a moment, okay?

She's got five minutes

or I'm calling the cops.

Alright, I got it.

Girl, come on let's go.

Let's get you outta here, you hungry?

Come on, come on.
