Liquid Sky Page #2

Synopsis: Invisible aliens in a tiny flying saucer come to Earth looking for heroin. They land on top of a New York apartment inhabited by a drug dealer and her female, androgynous, bisexual nymphomaniac lover, a fashion model. The aliens soon find the human pheromones created in the brain during orgasm preferable to heroin, and the model's casual sex partners begin to disappear. This increasingly bizarre scenario is observed by a lonely woman in the building across the street, a German scientist who is following the aliens, and an equally androgynous, drug-addicted male model. (Both models are played by Anne Carlisle, in a dual role.) Darkly funny and thoroughly weird.

But she's a b*tch.

- Mm-hm, Margaret is an uptight wasp

c*nt from Connecticut.

- Can I use your works?

- Yeah, all right.

But, uh, give me an extra

four dollars.

- Sure.

- And do me a favor,

don't hang around after you get off.

Relax, baby.

- Thanks a lot.

- You should be happy.

Paul gave us some money.

We can go out to lunch, so

get ready to go.

You know it takes this b*tch two

hours to get ready

to go out somewhere?

- In the beginning, aliens were

spotted near places

with large amounts of heroin.

Later, aliens appeared in

specific subcultures,

punk circles, still around heroin.

And in these punk circles,

many more strange deaths

have occurred.

- So a freak from la f***ed you,

big f***ing deal.

Eat your food.

Apple pie, sh*t.

- Well, why don't you have

something to eat,

some cheese, some pate, some wine?

- What so strange about

deaths in punk circles?

They kill each other by

shooting too much dope.

Don't you remember when we were

at Cambridge, there was a war,

I think between the, they were

called mods and rockers.

And they went at each other

with bicycle chains?

I don't think your punks need any

help from the outside

to kill themselves.

- My mother used bake five or six

apples pies at once.

- Apple pie.

- She put them in the porch to cool.

We had an apple tree in our backyard.

We would come in from the play

and the porch would be

filled with steam.

But we couldn't have any pie

till after dinner.

- You were lucky, baby, she

sounds like a real angel.

- Listen, I happen to have a

free evening tonight.

I'd love you to come by my place.

I've done some changes.

I'd love to know what you're doing.

Come over for dinner?

- Well, I have an appointment with a

fashion photographer.

I can't get out of it.

- Well, I'm glad your career

is going so well.

- You've interrupted me.

The most interesting fact we found,

these killings occur during

sexual intercourse.

- You know, my mom was great,

listen to this.

One time she came out of the hospital,

right?

And she was okay, she was cool,

she was great.

So she went outwith this guy,

this really straight guy

and they went to this really

fancy restaurant.

You know, best in town, right?

She's doing fine.

Then all of a sudden, man,

all of a sudden she gets up

on the balcony.

She gets right up on the balcony, man,

and she pulls up her skirt

and she looks at all the

people and she says,

"I'm, Jesus Christ, man, I baptize you

in the name of the son, the father,

and the holy ghost",

and she pissed on everybody.

Must've got in the f***ing

food and everything.

Can you beat that?

Sh*t.

- Then what happened?

- Then they threw her back in.

- Thank you.

Can we get a check, please?

Remember the last time you were

over at the studio?

When was that?

- Six months ago.

- Right.

- Well, remember I,

remember there were a lot

of people there?

Well, several people came

up to me and said,

"ls that your brother?"

- Of course you are my sister, mama.

- I want to show you the

documentation of our progress.

- You mean you made slides of

sexual intercourse?

- You really are gorgeous, you know.

- Hey mom, can I have

some money?

- What time is it?

- I have to be running.

I'll send you a check, all right?

- Great.

- Do you take American express?

- I really need it, you know?

- Can I give you a lift uptown?

- No, no, I'm going down.

- That's not funny.

We have not only located the ufo,

but we have managed to

photograph the creature

inside of the craft.

And even made an attempt to classify

its various emotional states.

- Baby, let's go to Berlin.

They love me in Germany, baby,

I'll be a star.

Just you and me and then

I'll buy you cocaine.

Sew a fox for your beautiful neck.

Come on, it'll be great.

- You think it will be

different there?

- Hey, why'd you have to

f*** up your hair?

You look like sh*t.

- That's what Owen always says.

Owen, I was supposed to meet Owen,

i forgot.

- Where?

Taking Owen up to our place?

- Yeah, well, I didn't

want to go there.

- I don't like Owen, baby, i

don't wanna see Owen.

- What's your schedule like?

I need your help.

I cannot get too close

because it recognizes me

and I'm a stranger in this country.

There are some things which are

difficult for me to study

because of that.

I watched the creature from the

empire state building,

but at night it is closed.

How can I study the behavior

of this creature

if it's on private property?

- Well, I don't know.

I'd like to help you,

but I don't know what you

expect me to do.

I'm just a college acting teacher.

- F***, see Owen. I don't care.

Go ahead, I got business, i

got things to do.

See f***ing Owen.

- Well listen, I'd like to

help you in some way,

but I have an appointment right now.

Can you get in touch tomorrow?

- This alien is killing people.

You are the only person i

know in New York.

- Telephone me tomorrow,

keep in touch, okay?

Almost everything you've done

since you left me

has been self-destructive.

Adrian's a real bad influence on you.

She doesn't care anything about you.

She's only using you.

You're ruining your career,

your future.

- What are you talking about?

It's the only thing I care about,

my career.

What do you think I'm doing right now?

I'm getting ready to shoot with

the best photographer

who I met at the club who's

gonna come here.

- He only wants to go to bed with you.

- Nobody, nobody fucks at the club.

Everybody's gay.

It's you that thinks about

f***ing all the time.

- Your vocabulary, it's

punctuated by two words,

sh*t and f***.

- What are you saying, i

should say making love

instead of f***ing?

So what do you think, is that better,

professor?

- I think you look like a hooker.

And you act like a hooker.

And you're gonna wind up

in the hospital

with some horrible sexual disease.

- You don't understand, so i

look like a hooker.

So what, you like it.

I know that you like it.

So why should I live these lies?

The way you want me to

dress and behave

is as a sweet housewife.

Slave at her husband's will.

A hooker's at least independent.

I'm nobody's victim.

It's only fair that I warn them

this p*ssy has teeth.

- You were my best student.

I invested a lot of time in you.

- What are you saying, we spent

most of our time in bed.

- Do you know that Adrian

has turned you

into a real mean b*tch?

Everybody says so.

Try to be nice.

- What do you think, do you like this,

professor?

- I think you look better in

jeans and a turtleneck.

- Yes, professor.

- May I help you?

- Yes, what side of the building

do your windows face?

- Are you the fire inspector?

- No, I'm a scientist.

- Well, I put my fire extinguisher in

and my exits are all accessible.

- I'm a scientist.

- And you're studying windows?

- Well, windows have something to

do with my research.

You see, I'm an astrophysicist

and I'm researching some phenomenon

which has happened in some countries.
