Butter on the Latch Page #3

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.

as someone who just got...

I'm sorry, I can totally see

how that would feel

strange for you.

I'm sorry, that was

kind of insensitive.

I guess I was just

trying to open up the,

the door for you to talk openly

about what's been going on

with you, so I wanted...

Well I've slept with

like three different people

like over the course

of four years.

And like, you'd have

to be a f***ing saint

to stay with someone

like that, you know?

What?

You'd have to be

like a saint to stay...

You'd have to be a saint

to stay with someone who's

trying to get rid of

you for four years.

But it's just f***ed up

because he was the one

who actually was

totally in love with me,

and I was the one

who pushed him away.

Because I didn't

just have the...

The guts to leave him.

- Yeah, I know he's in love

with you, but it seems

like it's gone on and on

and every single time, you

got to a point where...

You know what I mean.

This guy is so annoying.

Yeah, it's okay.

But I mean, do you

know what I mean?

Yeah.

It's fine, we don't have

to talk about it right now.

No, that's why I

want to talk about it.

I want to understand.

I feel like that's going to

help you through the entire...

Let's just drink, okay?

- Isolde.

- Let's finish these drinks.

I have to slowly be

pried open, you know.

Let's just finish these

drinks and then we'll dance.

Maybe I'll find some,

like, cute banjo-violinist

and we can all go...

- That guy plays a banjo.

Skinny-dipping in

the pool or whatever.

- He's cute.

- There's a waterhole.

Who?

- That guy is so cute.

Do you think?

- No, he's...

No.

- He is so cute.

I'm sorry, not the timing,

the time and place.

It's okay.

I'm following you,

you're following me,

neither of us know's

what we're doing.

My name's Steph.

I don't want to be at the end

of the line, it

makes me nervous.

Did I, I have a habit of...

- Hi.

- - Hi.

This is exhausting.

It was a pleasure

dancing with you.

She put it down in

front of my father,

and just sort of looked up

at him expectantly, and as...

And he was like

As she was making

eyes at my father,

the bunny got up and ran away.

The bunny was just

paralyzed with fear.

That's it, it was fine.

You missed a good,

you missed a good pet story.

What was it?

I can't even tell it.

Which one,

the triple homicide?

Oh, now you

ruined the punch line.

My cat brutally

murdered my parakeets,

three all in one afternoon.

Nice.

- Yeah.

How are you?

- Good.

- - No, I mean...

No, I mean, how are you?

Like, how are you

since everything?

When?

New York in that

really awful house?

Oh, yeah, she's fine.

Grandma, she just needs

to switch her medications.
