Repulsion Page #3

Synopsis: In London, Belgian immigrant Carol Ledoux shares an apartment with her older sister Helen, and works as a manicurist at a beauty salon. Helen uses the word "sensitive" to describe Carol's overall demeanor, which is almost like she walks around in a daze, rarely speaking up about anything. When she does speak up, it generally is about something against one of those few issues on which she obsesses, such as Helen's boyfriend Michael's invasion of her space at the apartment. That specific issue may be more about men in general than just Michael's actions, as witnessed by Carol being agitated by hearing Helen and Michael's lovemaking, and she not being able to rebuff the advances effectively of a male suitor, Colin, who is infatuated with her. One of those other obsessive issues is noticing cracks and always wanting to fix them. While Helen and Michael leave on a vacation to Pisa, Italy, Carol chooses largely to lock herself in the apartment, ditching work. There, she is almost hypnotized

Oh well anyway come on. Now

I've found you, let's go and

eat something, I'm starving.

...But, it's too late.

Have-have you been

fired or something?

All right, come on.

I'll take you home.

- Listen, Carol, I-I don't understand...

- Idiot!

For heaven's sake!

Carol!

Carol!

"Dane doing a little illegal

head outside the ring with a

neat head butt there by Larson

"and over to the corner with Ray

Hunter coming in after Stedman

the Giant,

"and Hunter hitting Stedman all

over the place

"and exchanging places with Larson

"and Larson again for Hunter and

now it's Hunter in against Stedman

"Hunter really throwing Stedman

around I don't know why he goes

out and now it's Larson in again..."

Darling?

What is it?

Don't you feel well?

Oh, I know you don't

want me to go away, but...

Hello?

Hello?

Hello!

Hello!

Why did you throw

Michael's things away?

- Why'd you do it?

- I don't like them there.

It's got absolutely

nothing to do with you!

You silly little fool!

I've put the money for

the rent on the table.

Oh please, don't go.

Now please, don't forget to

give the money, otherwise we

shall both be out onto the street.

- Look, are you coming or aren't you?!

- Yes, yes. I'm coming.

Don't look so sad. The time

will pass very quickly.

Don't do anything

I wouldn't do.

Heh, heh; come on.

- You're killing me!

- Sorry, Miss Walsh.

- There's only...

- Good morning!

Good morning!

There's only one way

to deal with men,

that's treat them as if you

don't give a damn about them!

I told you all this before.

Still, I'm glad to see that you have

listened to me for just this once.

There's only one thing they want,

and I'll never know why they make

such a fuss about it, but they do.

And the more you make them beg

for it, the happier they are!

- He rang me up this morning.

- I said he would!

He was practically on his knees.

Well make sure he stays that way.

I wonder...

- I don't suppose it would do me

any harm if I had a little snack?

- What do you fancy?

They're all same, just like children.

They want to be spanked

and then given sweets.

Perhaps a...

- ...a little Danish pastry.

- Tsk tsk!

- And a cup of chocolate.

- Carol will order it for you.

Carol?

Stop dreaming!

You feeling all right, love?

Carol, what's the matter?

There's...nothing

you'd like to tell me?

I mean ah...

How do you feel now?

Still biting your nails, eh?

I think you'd better go home.

Would you like one of

the girls to go with you?

No, please.

I'll be all right.

Take a taxi, anyway.

- Uh, ask Millie to give you the money.

- Thank you.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, Carol?

This is Colin.

H-hello?

Carol! Carol,
