Butter on the Latch Page #2

Synopsis: At a Balkan folk song and dance camp in the woods of Mendocino, California, Sarah reunites with her old friend Isolde and with a song she learned years before about dragons who entwine themselves in women's hair and carry them off through the forest, burning it as they go. When Sarah pursues a romance with a new camper Steph, the nights of sensual secrets and singing with Isolde come to an abrupt end. Sarah and Steph explore a simple attraction, but in Sarah's dreams, women spin their wild hair and Isolde darkly approaches. When reality and fantasy collide, Sarah finds that the dragons she's visioning may be inside her.

boom, bam, boom...

- How much was he...

- Down.

How much was he aware...

Oh, just...

- Boom, bam, boom, on it.

- Doom tech doom.

- - Doom tech doom.

And then I went and

left, and I was like,

"Seven passes please."

Was the place nice?

Did it obviously...

- No, it was f***ing filthy.

It's really dirty, and all

these people who go there,

I think know what goes

on there, you know?

So everyone has this

kind of guilty look

when they pass each

other, you know?

2626, you should go, man.

- I'm kind of...

- Victor, his name's Victor.

Kind of considering it.

"A dragon loves

me, and he'll take me.

"Every evening he'll

come to see me,

"and this evening

he'll come too.

"One day with a sound

like a rifle shot,

"the dragons descend on the girl

"and entwining

themselves in her hair,

"carry her away, burning

the forest as they go.

"In the dragon's

house, she brews

"an herbal drink that renders

her suitor powerless."

It's so, so beautiful.

Let me see what I can remember.

- You should sing it.

- Yeah.

It can be my bedtime lullaby.

All right, are

we okay with this?

Those of you that have

been playing for a while,

the pattern is simple for you.

Start working on getting

that shake in there, okay?

So you're, you know, you're...

That hand and this hand.

So it's not really

this, it's really this.

So you're pushing with this...

But are you into music

and other kinds of music, or...

I mean, I sung

in choir when I was young,

but I don't have a lot

of control, you know?

Well, that's practice.

You have a lot of control.

You have amazing control,

you seem like a singer.

So what are you taking?

What classes are you taking?

I'm taking

the Greeks, the Greek...

Greek singing with Christos.

That one, and maybe

a few dance classes.

I've mainly just been wandering

around the woods, actually.

She just wanted to get

away from the madness.

That's a great base.

What is this?

Slivovitz,

it's like a plum brandy.

Bulgarian, Balkan plum

brandy, slivovitz.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Wait, who was the

woman that we were talking to

earlier who was, said

that she sang with Merita?

Marianne said she

sings with Corinna,

from like 30 years ago

or something like that.

Can you do me a favor?

Can you not tell people

that I just got

out of something?

Is that okay?

I just don't want to like...

I didn't say

anything to anyone.

Well you were like, you know,

it was like an

introduction to someone.

I mean I was being

introduced to her, and then

my introduction was

like, "Oh, she just got

out of of this relationship."

I'm sorry.

I don't want to make

it into a big deal,

but I don't want to be introduced
