KID BROTHER (O.S.)
(muffled)
Hey, no fair!
Drop dead, Eric.
Lila stands nervously in front of the full-length mirror on
her closet door. She takes a deep breath and begins to
unbutton her shirt, watching herself carefully in the mirror.
ADULT LILA (V.O.)
Something terrible started to happen
to my body when I was twelve. My
mother said because of it I would
never be able to get a man, so I
should get used to the idea of
dedicating my life to the pursuit of
knowledge, or religion... or whatever.
Lila's shirt is now unbuttoned. She pulls it open. She is
wearing a training bra over the very beginning of breast
buds. On the chest above the bra, and on her stomach below
it, is hair. Dark curly hair. She stares at it, touches it
cautiously. Then she starts to cry. She crouches into a ball
and weeps.
ADULT LILA (V.O.)
The doctor said...
CUT TO:
INT. DOCTOR'S OFFICE - DAY
Old fashioned office. Twelve year old Lila sits on the
examination table, her shirt off. An elderly male doctor
touches the hair, fingers it. Her mother looks on.
DOCTOR:
(to the mother)
It's hormonal. Nature is a funny and
complex thing. It could get worse
with time.
Young Lila turns to the camera.
By the time I was twenty I looked
like an ape.
CUT TO:
The cop who vomited, gags again. Lila stares at him. Her
face is hard, blank. She stubs out her cigarette.
