The Little Death Page #2

Synopsis: The Little Death is a truly original comedy about sex, love, relationships and taboo. In a multi story narrative, we peer behind the closed doors of a seemingly normal suburban street. A woman with a dangerous fantasy and her partners struggle to please her. A man who begins an affair with his own wife without her knowing anything about it. A couple struggling to keep things together after a sexual experiment spins out of control. A woman who can only find pleasure in her husband's pain. A call centre operator caught in the middle of a dirty and chaotic phone call. And the distractingly charming new neighbour who connects them all. The little Death explores why do we want what we want? How far will we go to get it? What are the consequences of that fleeting moment of sexual ecstasy?

morning and night

in the recommended position.

And for 20 minutes afterwards,

I elevate my hips.

And it's been like that

for almost three years now

so you can't tell me that

there isn't something wrong.

There isn't something wrong.

Sometimes it just comes

down to bad luck.

Will you please just tell us

what to do?

'Cause I'll try anything.

Do you climax at the point

of ejaculation?

Mutual orgasms are said

to increase

the chances of conception.

So do you orgasm during sex?

Yeah, I mean, I have. Yeah.

While you've been trying

to conceive?

Oh, no, not since

I've been married.

How's your cervical mucus? OK?

It's good. Yeah.

Good.

And what about the doctor?

Did she say anything or...?

Actually, she, uh,

she did say one thing.

- Yeah?

- Um...

Yeah. She said that it might

help if I orgasm during sex.

You orgasm during sex

all the time.

Yeah, so...

Yeah, we just... We, uh,

keep doing what we're doing.

- Yeah.

- Knuckle down.

Hey.

If having a baby was easy,

everyone would be doing it.

I think everyone is doing it.

Yeah, but their babies suck.

Ours is going to be awesome.

- We'll be right.

I should get that.

That'll be work.

RICHARD:
Hello.

You want to go outside?

Babe. What's wrong, honey?

My dad's dead.

Oh, my God.

He, uh... had a...

had a heart attack.

No.

I've never

seen you cry before.

MAN:
Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Hey, the place looks great.

I am so jealous.

- Thank you.

- Well, slowly but surely...

Only one thing left to do now,

Paul.

- Yael.

- What do you mean?

I think she means marriage,

mate.

- Oh, right,

- What, it's been five years?

BOTH:
Six.

- Six?

- Yeah.

- So what are you waiting for?

- OK, that's enough.

- No, it's OK, it's fine.

Uh, no, it's, like, we're not

really waiting for anything.

We're just not really marriage

kind of people, that's all.

Yeah.

What? We've talked about this.

- I know.

- We laughed about it.

We said we didn't need to go

through all that.

Yeah, I know. I know.

Um, should we do dessert?

- Yes, please!

- Let's do that.

- Great.

- Thank you.

Thanks, darling.

- You OK?

- Hmm.

- You seem a little bit...

- I'm fine, I'm fine.

Hey, can I ask you something?

Have you ever...

Have you ever raped anybody?

No. Who's been saying that?

- No-one, no, it's...

- Have you?

No.

No, I haven't and that's the

thing. I don't really want to.

Mate, that's good.

That's good.

- You don't have to.

- No.

Mate, I'm not...

No, it's not that, it's...

It's not me, it's...

It's Maeve.

She's got this, uh...

What?

I don't even know

what you call it.

- That thing, this, uh...

- Oh. Like a fantasy?

Yeah. A fantasy.

How did you know that?
