Queen Page #3

Synopsis: In this reversal of Henry Purcell's famous 1689 aria, 'Dido's Lament,' Queen Dido kills Aeneas by biting him to death, instead of killing herself, as Virgil would have it. Here, Queen Dido is an opera singer from Trinidad who is inspired by the post-coital cannibalism of praying mantises. She sings the famous lament to lure Aeneas, a New York graffiti artist, to her industrial boudoir. Once Aeneas arrives, he is summoned by a strange, giggling and sleepy guard who instructs him to lay down on the Shag Carpet of Death. Aeneas awaits his doom, almost desiring it. When Queen Dido arrives they begin to have sex, an enjoyment that ends in tragedy as Queen Dido carries out her insect-inspired desire.

Okay, one more plate. Go on then.

Ice-cream?

Let's get out of here.

- Money?

- Tomorrow.

Hello.

I've made up my mind.

From today, I won't call you Rani.

As you wish.

So what are you going to call her?

"W queen

I've seen at least ten films in

which the heroes have tried this.

What? They've tried to talk to you?

This shelves-of-a-library trick.

Worked, hasn't it, each time?

I have work to do.

And afterwards?

Ahn? Queen?

Chinese?

Um... Soup?

Queen, soup?

Chinese? On my knees.

- Sweet corn.

- Sweet corn!

You are so sweet.

Hey, who are you?

What are you doing here?

Don't you know this is a girl's

college. Get out from here. Go. .

She's my sister.

- Go get out.

- Going.

Is the soup okay?

Not too hot?

Shall I tell you a joke?

Chintu knows lots of jokes.

An ant was very fair.

Her mother asked

her why she was fair.

She said I use fairness cream...

...and drink and dance to Youtube.

naughty-

He goes everywhere with you?

Wherever our parents send him.

Will he be part of your dowry?

Rani.

The decorator is calling.

Yes, I know it's the last minute.

So take your cancellation charges.

Go and sit down, love.

Take a break.

- Just sit down. I'm here now.

- I'm not going anywhere.

Rani I love...

So loud.

It's crazy.

Rani I love...

Sonal is calling.

I can talk later.

- Sister...

- It's not that important.

He's trying to say I love you.

Thank you.

I had a boyfriend once, Faizal.

I left him behind in

Pakistan but he was a cutie.

Then I met your grandfather.

I met your grandfather

in a refugee camp.

We shared a tent and in the

lamplight, he was so handsome...

You never know,

Rani, who you're going to meet.

Don't worry about anything.

Go out and grab at life.

No one can stop you from getting

what you're supposed to get.

I know you feel like

your life has ended today.

But tomorrow is another day, love.

The day after?

You'll only say:

it was for the best.

Stop crying-

I'll miss you.

You think I won't miss you.

It's only London.

I will call you everyday

Tattoo my name on you.

Why?

What do you mean, 'Why?'

Brad Pitt did it for Angelina.

So you do it!

I already have you tattooed

on my heart, right?

My hearts Queen?

Rani, open the door.

I've brought you tea.

Rani, you haven't eaten

anything since morning.

Please have something.

You can't go on like this.

Open the door, child.

Hey honeymoon queen,

open the door.

Sonal, it's open.

Where have you been?

Where's my passport and ticket.

Your passport isn't ready.

I'm sorry.

Not ready?

You nutter,

you almost gave me a heart attack.

Here. Your passport and ticket.

Now go on your honeymoon

instead of just talking about it.
