Liquid Sky Page #3

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.

I'm from west Berlin.

Let me show you my identification.

- I see.

Have you had dinner?

- No.

- Well, it just so happens

that I have a free evening tonight.

Why don't we go upstairs and discuss

it over a bite to eat?

- All your costumes.

They're just

participation in some kind

of a phony theater.

I'm only telling you this

for your own good.

It's a freak show.

- Are you trying to say.

That your blue jeans weren't theater?

- It's not the same thing.

- So your professor wore a

three-piece suit

and blamed you for your jeans.

Saying your jeans were too much.

And he didn't understand that his

suit was also a costume.

You thought your jeans stood for love,

freedom,

and sexual equality.

We at least know that

we're in costume.

So you want me now, right?

- You have the best legs.

We both have good legs.

If we had children,

they'd have the best legs to stand on.

- I thought I looked ugly

and would give you diseases.

- This is a perfect

place for watching.

- I'm ordering some Chinese,

is that okay?

- It's perfect, it's perfect.

- You're all wet.

- You have no right to do that, I'm

not your possession.

And it's so simple, isn't it?

Well, you can't have me.

- I don't want to have you.

I want to make love to you.

- Well, I'm telling you this

for your own good.

I think you should go home.

- You spend all your energy

trying to get me excited

and then you want to throw me out?

- Please leave.

- Come here.

- Okay, I'd like two orders of

shrimp fried rice,

an order of shrimp and pea pods,

an order of shrimp with lobster sauce,

and an order of jumbo shrimp.

- Owen, get up.

- That's what I'm working on.

- That's what I'm working on.

- Are you a researcher?

- No, I'm a television producer.

Do you think that they exist?

So you're looking for heroin

and you don't want the police

to know about it?

- Listen, this really has nothing

to do with drug traffic.

What can I do?

Nobody really knows the true

nature of these aliens.

- You're from Germany?

- Yes, from Berlin.

- I'm Jewish.

So, well, what connection do you think

there can possibly be

between ufos and heroin?

- What the f*** is going on in here?

- Have you ever seen a ufo?

- Yes, this morning,

that's why I'm here.

- Oh, that's very interesting.

Would you like a drink?

- You can see it as well.

- I can see a ufo?

- Yes, through your window.

- You mean I can go over

there to my window

and I can look out and i

can see a ufo?

- No, but you can see it

through my telescope.

- Oh, you have a telescope with you?

- Yes, in my case.

- Well, why don't you set it up?

I've always dreamed

about seeing a ufo.

Say, what did you say you

were drinking?

- So you're dead now, sh*t,

and you're going to hell.

Straight from your marijuana jungles.

Straight from your lies, your lies,

your lies.

You dropped dead f***ing,

it suits you well.

You go to hell.

We'll go to hell.

I'll go to hell, too, but i

know I'm damned.

And you never knew.

So you weren't ready to toll the bell.

For me it's easy.

From hell to hell, I'm not dancing

in marijuana jungles.

I live in concrete mazes,

stone and glass,

hard like my heart, sharp and clean.

No romantic illusions to

changing the world.

I don't lie to myself

that love can cure

because I know I'm alone.

And you fought that every

day you lived.

You lied, you died, you lied.

You go to hell.

Suits you well, sh*t.

- Okay, you wanna see an alien craft?

You will see it, look.

- You know I always dreamt to

f*** a dead man.

Now's my chance.

- You're crazy.

- Sure I am, baby.

That's why you like me, so

let's f*** him.

- Don't you touch him.

- You don't want any?

'Cause you've been f***ed twice today,

already?

- Don't do it.

- If you don't like it baby, you

don't have to watch.

- You're crazy.

- Don't do it.

- Don't get moral with me, whore.

You had to f*** him, didn't you?

I told you not to f*** him.

- This is my place, I'll do

what I want here.

- You can f*** any petty a**hole

who gives you a chance,

you're a goddamn whore.

- Don't you call me that, you low

class freaky monster.

Monster!

- I'm a monster?

You let these guys walk on your bones,

b*tch.

You're gonna kill me with

syphilis one day,

you dirty c*nt!

- Don't talk to me like that.

Your mother was nuts.

Your father was a bum.

You'll never go anywhere,

but to the bottom

where you belong with the bums.

- You better watch your mouth or

I'll out your face

and nobody will f*** your ugly c*nt.

- Why did you have to do that to him?

He was a good man.

He never did anything to you.

- Why, that's a dead body.

- Now let me see.

That's an alien craft.

- That's an alien craft?

Well, isn't it kind of small?

- The alien craft is about the

size of a dinner plate.

Whoever told you that aliens needed

as much space as people?

- Well, that's really quite a

world that you showed me.

German scientists are as tall as the

empire state building.

And aliens are as big as jumbo shrimp.

- I have no other world to show you.

- Well, isn't it possible that

that might be a child's toy

and not a ufo?

- Don't worry, forget it.

We're gonna leave this f***ing place,

baby,

we're going to Berlin.

I'm gonna sing in nightclubs.

You know Germans love me.

We'll be happy.

- What are we gonna do with this body?

- Don't worry about the body.

I know what to do, you wanna

do it right now?

- Are you sure this has

something to do with a ufo?

Looks like two women

just killed a man.

- This is not my first

encounter with the aliens.

Just watch a little longer.

You will see it for yourself

what will happen there.

- Why don't they call the police?

- Why don't we call the police?

They don't want the police

to be involved.

- Why?

- Everyone has their

reasons for not going

to the authorities in their home.

They have a very good reason.

They have heroin there.

- I sure wouldn't like to be in

their shoes right now.

- I wouldn't like it, either.

- What are we gonna do?

- We're gonna just leave him there.

We're going to Berlin, baby,

aren't we?

- Sure.

- You know, we should have a wake.

- There's no food.

- So I'll go to the store

and get some food.

- The police are no

protection from aliens.

- Oh, and you have

protection from aliens?

You have a laser gun in your pants?

I think I need another drink.

- Paul, wake up, honey.

Come on, get up and take a shower.

- I feel sick, Kathy.

- I know you feel sick, you've

done drugs today.

- No.

- Come on, stand up, it'll

make you feel better.

Guests are already starting to arrive.

You can't go to the party like this.

- F*** the guests.

- You are a brave, noble knight.

Why don't you go over there

and free those two beauties

from the dragon?

- That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

- You're going over to the apartment?

- No, the little one just went out.

I'm gonna try to warn her.

- Are you serious?

- Yes.

- Wow, you really are brave.
