MEET ALIX AND PRIX
NOTE The first scene is shot in the omnipresent third person.
INT. BEDROOM
The Apartment isn’t great, but it’s rent controlled, and that makes it just fine. Cozy.
The mattress is on the floor in the middle of three rail-roaded rooms. Sitting on it are a man and a woman, legs thrown over their respective sides, facing away from each other.
The man, ALIX, is on the left wearing only boxers. He grabs his button-down shirt from the foot of the bed where all the sheets have been kicked after this evening’s sexy activities.
The woman, PRIX, is on the right, already buttoning her non-gender specific shirt. If we weren’t seeing the aftermath of coitus, you could call it a lesbian shirt.
Suddenly, PRIX stops buttoning.
PRIX
Wait. Why do I feel like this is the second time I’ve had sex today?
ALIX
What?
PRIX
Like, my vag has seen some action earlier today.
ALIX
That’s impossible. You can’t feel that.
PRIX
No. I’m sure. Who did you have sex with while you were in my body?
ALIX
What? All this over a- baby, how do know you don’t just have to pee or something, that always catches me by surprise.
PRIX
Who?
ALIX
Agh. Todd. You know it was Todd.
PRIX
Todd? Why did we sleep with Todd? Does he have, like, I dunno, a pair of nunchucks that you want?
ALIX
No, I thought he got tickets to the ballet or something, you sent him the text message.
PRIX
It said I finally started writing my book, and I sent it after a lot of beer. From your body.
ALIX
Yeah, But you put the vagina on the end of it, and when he called me out on it, I thought it was, you know, like a signal. Like a note on the fridge: sleep with Todd.
PRIX
What vagina?
ALIX
You know, the gaping- um it’s a zero and uh-
He gets up and goes to a chalkboard on the wall.
He draws: \0/
He turns to her: See? She looks at it.
PRIX
Oh, my god, Alix.
ALIX
What? What is it? It’s not a vagina is it? It’s like a face and I had to take a bath in Todd’s sweat. Followed by a real bath.
PRIX
No, you’re right. It’s a vagina.
ALIX
What? So why did you send it?
PRIX
No. I mean, it’s not a vagina emoticon, it’s something else, but now that it’s staring me in the face-
ALIX
I know, right? And Todd, he has nipple hair… but he pulled out the phone….and I had to…ugh. What is it?
PRIX
Baby, now that I’ve seen vagina I can’t unsee vagina.
ALIX
But that’s so unsatisfying. After Todd.
One rail-roared room over, there’s a knock at the front door. The both look.
