Liquid Sky Page #7

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.

What do you want?

- My name is Johann Hoffman,

I'm a scientist.

I've come to get you out of here.

You should leave immediately.

- What do you know?

- I watched you through your window.

I have witnessed the death

from over there.

I know how and why they died.

You're in great danger, come with me.

- So you tell me why they died.

- What difference does it make to you?

Now come with me.

- Wait a minute, you

come into my place

and you want me to leave

and you don't wanna tell me why?

- Okay, you have a creature, an alien

creature on your roof.

- Where?

- I study these creatures.

You are in great danger, come with me.

- Tell me where he is.

- You wanna die?

- No.

- Let me explain.

- Let me go.

- Let me explain.

- Let go!

- My theory is,

my theory is that these creatures,

the aliens, feed off people like we

feed on other creatures.

And that they need for sustenance

a substance similar to opiates.

Heroin is an opiate.

So this one came here for it,

only he found something better.

That substance is produced in the

brain during orgasm.

And they're similar in chemical

structure to opiates.

It is killing to get this substance.

- Well, he didn't kill me, did he?

Why didn't he kill me?

- Did you have an orgasm?

- No.

Indian?

Indian, where are you?

Why don't you come out?

- Over there.

- Indian, Indian, come out now.

We can be together now.

Come out, you can feed on

me if you want to.

It's okay, I don't mind.

I know you care for me.

We can be happy.

I wanna make love with you.

No!

You can't leave me!

Don't leave without me!

No, no!

- Oh, listen, excuse me, I'm in

a tremendous rush.

I can't make any stops, so I suppose,

okay I have to go straight

to the penthouse.

- The penthouse, that's the same

as the roof, isn't it?

That's where I'm going.

- Oh.

- There's the elevator.

- Looks like Adrian's having a party,

huh?

- Adrian, who's Adrian?

This isn't the roof.

- This is as far as the elevator goes.

- Here's a sign.
