Going Under Page #3

plenty of time for that.

I'm not going back to work

for you, you know?

Of course I do, honey.

No, no, I...

I have something specific

I thought you

might be interested in.

A very lucrative something

down in Philadelphia.

An old regular.

I imagine you could

make enough to support yourself

for two or three months.

Do people still ask for me?

Oh, yes.

They miss you.

I wonder if you know

why you're so good at it,

why the customers really do

miss you.

You really could

create the feeling of intimacy.

Fake intimacy,

but that's why the customers

kept coming back.

Maybe,

but so what?

You're still perverse.

There's more than one way

to express that.

I am sorry, Juno.

I can't help you out.

Have it your way.

You won't hold it against me, now.

That would be unprofitable

for both of us.

Hi.

I'm fine.

Working on a new panel.

I'm not sure I'm ready to see

you again so soon.

I know, I know.

I just need a little bit more time.

I'm pretty busy right now.

I'll call you.

All right,

next week sounds good.

Okay.

You, too.

- Have you read this?

- Mm-mm.

- Well, I have.

- Really?

Yeah.

Wasn't one just like last years?

Well, there's nothing new here.

- Let me tell you.

- Really?

I mean,

look at this chapter right here.

I know. I know.

Ugh,

but, my God, he's amazing.

It's his third book

in three years.

Have you read this month's issue

- of "Psychoanalytic Thought"?

- No.

Well, my essay on

counter transference in young adults,

- deals with a lot of the same issues...

- Really?

- Yes!

- Oh, please.

I don't know where

he gets this stuff.

- Well, he's got a good publisher.

- Huh.

How come

you're always in corners, Peter?

You're terrific to watch.

Thanks.

- You ever do men?

- It's usually men I do.

I haven't done a public scene

for a long time.

Looking for someone

to corrupt you, huh?

Ah, maybe so.

- You straight?

- Uh-huh.

- You married?

- Uh-huh.

What's your name?

Peter.

Go to the bar

and get me a bottle of water, Peter.

Go.

I'll take a water.

Keep the change.

You ready?

I'm ready.

What would you

like me to do?

I want you to go over there,

take off all your clothes,

and wait for me.

People will stop and stare,

but they're not allowed to touch.

You know that, right?

- Yes.

- You can call me Mistress Terry.

Yes, Mistress Terry.

Go.

Since this is

our first time together,

I'm gonna take it really slow.

I'm gonna handcuff your wrists,

but your feet are gonna

stay on the floor.

Say "Thank you, Mistress Terry. "

Thank you, Mistress Terry.

Raise your hands.

Good.

Peter, Peter, relax.

This is supposed to

make you feel good.

The safety word is "mercy".

You say "mercy" and the scene is over.

We don't go on to something else.

- We stop.

- Thank you, Mistress Terry.

Let me hear you say "mercy".

- Mercy.

- Good boy.

You have the option

of a blindfold.

I'd like to keep my eyes open,

Mistress Terry.

Okay.

- Kiss it.

- Kiss it?

Kiss it.

How's that?

Fine, fine.

Aah!

Aah!

Mercy. Mer... mercy.

Mercy...

mercy.

Are you sure?

You know my rule.

Yes, Mistress Terry.

- I'm sorry about earlier.

- Aw, you didn't like my punishment?

Oh, no.

You were great.

It was me.

I just...

didn't have it tonight.

Mm.

Well,

I'm here most weekends.

I'd be happy to try again

with you, Peter.

If you want.

Thanks.

Hi, you've reached Suzanne.

Please leave a message.

Suzanne, it's Peter again.

I haven't heard from you

in a little while.

I hope everything's all right.

I was wondering if you wanted

to get together tomorrow night.

I'm seeing a patient at six,

but I'm free after that.

Call me.

I miss you.

Did you see my red nail polish?

Miko,

did you hear me?

What is it?

Who is Peter?

A friend.

He sounded

like something else.

I don't like the way

you said that.

Was he client?

Why would you think that?

Where else you meet a man?

He is a former client...

but I happen to have

other male friends

from all parts of my life.

You are changing

the subject.

No, I'm not.

You are acting as if you

don't know I've had boyfriends.

So, he was boyfriend, too?

No!

Don't...

change things around!

I thought

you didn't see your client

outside work.

I thought

that was breaking the rule.

I don't work there anymore.

Remember?

Argue your way out of it

like always you do...

but I saw guilt

on your face when I asked you.

Don't leave.

Let's...

F*** this, Suzanne.

F*** all of this.

I'm seeing a patient at six,

but I'm free after that.

Call me.

I miss you.

Hello?

Yes,

I would like to speak

to Juno, please.

Hello, Walter.

It's been quite a while.

Yes, Mistress Diana.

I don't come back East

very often anymore.

May I say something,

Mistress Diana?

Speak.

I was hoping

for the red leather outfit.

You know black

makes me uncomfortable.

Are you telling the mistress

what she should wear?

I was only hoping

that since I am paying for this...

This is all they've got here!

Next time you have to come

to New York!

Get up.

Put those on your ankles.

Uh-oh, look at you,

clumsy, stupid.

Mistress, Diana.

You know I need you

to speak more softly.

It's important.

The tone is not right.

If you continue

to speak like this,

I'm going to fix you

with a ball gag.

- Please, Mistress...

- Shut up!

Walk over to the rack

and don't move!

I know you're looking at me.

Keep your eyes on the wall.

Put this on your wee wee.

No, Mistress, please.

Come on, do it!

I don't want you

dripping on the floor.

It's disgusting.

May I say something,

Mistress, please?

What, Walter?

It is important

that you touch me correctly.

That... that... is just not right.

I've had it, Walter.

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth!

I'm not in the mood

to put up with this today.

I'm really not in the mood.

And I don't wanna hear

another sound from you.

I don't believe we're gonna be able

to continue these sessions

until your whip technique

improves significantly.

And I believe your session

has come to an end,

unless you wish to pay

for another hour.

And you do need

to work on that voice.

It's still not quite right.

Don't try to top me,

Walter.

Thank you.

Hello?

Steve?

What's going on?

No, no.

Yeah, of course I'll let you know

what's happening.

What I'd really like to do is to, um...

escape up there with you.

Yeah.

Have you talked to May?

No, I haven't either,

but she's in Venice.

I got a postcard from her.

Yeah, sure.

Uh, Pat, hold on.

I have another call.

Yeah?

Suzanne?

What is it?

You blew up the reproductions

from the book I gave you.

You don't like it?

No, I think this is great.

I wanted to apologize

for being so out of touch lately.

It's fine,

don't worry about it.

Are you all right?

Well, I had a tough day

at the clinic yesterday.

Uh,

so, I'm glad I'm here.

I haven't seen my mother

in close to a year.

She doesn't know

anything about my life.

Whatever you want to say

about me...

us...

She probably won't even ask.
