Attenberg Page #2

Synopsis: Marina, 23, is growing up with her architect father in a prototype factory town by the sea. Finding the human species strange and repellent, she keeps her distance from it. Instead she observes it through the songs of Alan Vega's Suicide, the mammal documentaries of Sir David Attenborough, and the sexual education lesson she receives from her only friend, Bella. A stranger comes to town and challenges her to a foosball duel, on her own table. Her father meanwhile is preparing for his exit from the 20th century, which he considers to be 'overrated'. Caught between the two men and her collaborator Bella, Marina investigates the wondrous mystery of the human fauna.

listening to Suicide.

What's your favorite song?

"Be Bop Kid."

"Surrender"?

It's good.

A little melodramatic, but good.

Want to sit down?

Here.

Beer?

No.

- Can I kiss you?

- What?

- Am I doing it right?

- Fine.

Do you like it?

Very much. You?

I've never done t before.

With a man.

With a woman?

With my best friend.

She's very experienced.

- You don't smoke.

- No.

You taste nice.

You too.

Keep going.

I met someone.

Who is it?

Someone.

Someone you like?

I think so.

- Do you want me to meet him?

- No.

Then why are you telling me?

I don't have anyone else to tell.

- You have Bella.

- She'd flirt with him.

She flirts with you too.

Haven't you noticed?

Bullshit.

Don't swear.

I'm not.

You are.

Fine.

You want to fight.

Your problem is Bella, or the

guy you met?

My problem is your swearing.

I hardly ever swear.

And I feel awkward about all this.

All what?

Do I know him?

- He's not from here.

- You like him?

I already said. Yes.

Does he like you?

- No.

- How do you know that?

I'm guessing.

But does he know he likes you?

No.

- Are you going to tell him?

- No.

I think you should.

I don't agree.

Fine.

Don't tell him, then.

OK.

I like women's breasts.

The way they bulge under blouses.

I can't take my eyes off them.

It must make the women

feel uncomfortable.

But I don't lust after their breasts.

I admire them.

If I had dreams like yours,

I'd dream of breast-trees

instead of penis-trees.

Tit-trees. Prick-trees.

Keep on correcting my Greek...

idiot.

Do you like my tits?

Yes. They're very beautiful.

- Do you envy them?

- No.

Why not?

They're too small.

Want to touch them?

To try them out?

Bella, you little slut.

Touch them to be sure.

They don't arouse me.

Am I asexual?

Do men arouse you?

Yes.

You haven't touched one.

- I have.

- When?

- Recently.

- Who?

- Someone.

- You're lying.

I'm not.

You're a sea-urchin. You

don't let anyone touch you.

- I let someone touch me.

- Then why didn't you tell me?

- It's none of your business.

- I'm your friend.

You're a predator.

You're one of those women who can't

stand women.

We women are the wondrous mystery

of the animal kingdom.

You haven't seen the documentaries

of Sir David Attenborough.

You're insufferably pedestrian.

You can't stand women either.

...and ignorant.

- You can't stand them either.

- Yes. But I admire them.

I admire you and you're

insufferably pedestrian.

Don't mimic the way I speak.

Stop repeating what I say, please.

Who is he?

You don't know him.

You haven't got your claws

nto him yet.

Does Spyros know him?

It is Spyros.

You fell for it, didn't you?

You have the hots for my father.
