Some Velvet Morning Page #5

Synopsis: Fred (Stanley Tucci) arrives at the doorstep of his beautiful young mistress Velvet (Alice Eve) after four years apart, claiming to have finally left his wife. But when she rejects his attempts to rekindle their romance, his persistence evolves into obsession - and a dark history between the former lovers comes into focus. A return to form for writer/director Neil LaBute (In the Company of Men, Your Friends & Neighbors), Some Velvet Morning is an astutely written portrait of a very modern romance.

The thing to do what I do, which

is my work and my school...

and all the things I'm doing,

much like finding myself.

And I know it sounds mystical and bullshitty

to you, but that's not the f***ing point.

The point is that I'm not longer called

Velvet in my life, and everyone that... -

- I'm going.

- Nobody's stopping you.

No, you are, actually, Fred. In

a big way.

It may not feel like it, but you're putting

a huge f***ing block in my road, okay?

- Really.

- I don't want to be rude, but you are.

It's starting to make me, I don't

know, a little bit worried...

I guess, having you here.

Worried?

Where'd you get that name anyway?

Velvet. Where'd it come from?

Oh, come on. Sh*t, I don't know.

- You know. Of course you do.

- No, I don't! I just started using it!

Bullshit. Come on. Was it some guy

gave it to you, like a nickname?

No.

Well, what is it then? Is it for

like, what...

the way that your, like...

snatch feels around a guy's

thing?

Your c*nt? I mean, I'd believe

that if you told me that.

Or your mouth? How soft your

mouth is?

That's what I was wearing when a guy

first f***ed me when I was nine.

I was raped in a dress I was wearing

to church that had velvet bows on it.

Do you still like it? Velvet?

No. Not as much.

Well, then.

Jesus, is that...?

Now you know.

I mean, is that... honestly?

No. God, no.

You really think I'd f***ing tell you something

personal about myself? Fat f***ing chance.

You b*tch. That's horrible.

Which part, the story or the

fact that it didn't happen?

- All of it. Both.

- Well, don't worry...

I'm sure it's happened to

somebody else.

Just not me. Well, not like that

anyway.

All right, I have to go.

Wait, wait, wait. Whoever this

person is...

you can put him off for a while, all right?

Come on, you have a guest.

- Guest I knew nothing about.

- Yeah, but so what? I'm here now.

- I can't.

- Why? Come on, wait, wait, wait.

I can't, Fred. I gave my word.

Sorry, I didn't realize it was that serious.

You gave your word.

What are you, like some f***ing

Indian chief?

Who the f*** talks like that

anymore? "I gave my word. "

I mean, who talks like that?

I can't. I said I can't, so I

won't.

All right, okay, yeah, great.

I'll just let you go.

Have your latte with your

married fella.

He's gonna tell his spouse that he has to run

back to the office really quickly "today, honey. "

Forgive me...

for being so pedestrian about my

affairs, my comings and goings.

See, I wished that you felt that

way...

but I don't believe it for a second

that you feel at all contrite.

Oh, sh*t. What now, huh?

What? What now?

You can't even let a person say

sorry anymore...
