Butter on the Latch Page #4

Synopsis: At a Balkan folk song and dance camp in the woods of Mendocino, California, Sarah reunites with her old friend Isolde and with a song she learned years before about dragons who entwine themselves in women's hair and carry them off through the forest, burning it as they go. When Sarah pursues a romance with a new camper Steph, the nights of sensual secrets and singing with Isolde come to an abrupt end. Sarah and Steph explore a simple attraction, but in Sarah's dreams, women spin their wild hair and Isolde darkly approaches. When reality and fantasy collide, Sarah finds that the dragons she's visioning may be inside her.

No no no,

that really awful house,

and you were with those guys?

Did you go to the

hospital, or end up

filing a report of any kind?

Oh, oh, I just remembered it.

Someone taught me when I was

in first grade, and it was...

A bad joke, it was

like a dirty joke.

And it was, "Why did

Raggedy Ann get kicked out

"of the, the toy box?

"Because she sat on

Pinocchio's head."

F***.

You disappeared

after our dance.

I was looking for you, I was

like, "I want to dance more!"

Dancing.

Yeah, cool.

Well, I'm headed to lunch.

Cool.

Because they are eating.

- What time is it?

- - Lunch time.

Do you want company?

- Yeah, sure.

- All right.

Oh sh*t!

What happened?

It was too much caffeine,

that is disgusting.

I'm so sorry.

- You're just, "I just OD'ed.

"My body is rejecting it.

"It's like a bad transplant."

Would you be friends with

me if I was like this?

I don't think I could

be friends with you.

No, I don't think I would be.

Okay.

But I think I would be

more likely to be friends

with you if you were like

that, than you would be

likely to be friends

with me if I was like...

Big set-up.

You're not going to like this.

It actually scares

me a little bit.

I think I know what's coming.

You might really not like it.

I think I know what's coming.

No, but it's worse

than with other people.

I really have to...

I cannot wait for this.

I cannot wait, you've really

built it up very, very high.

Don't look at me for a second.

I can't stop looking at you.

You'll be able

to stop shortly.

- Oh.

- Oh sh*t.

Hey, Steph.

- It changes your voice, too.

You are so beautiful.

Thank you so much.

I love the smacking

of your lips and tongue.

Yeah, it's really good,

it's very rodentine.

Don't I have almost like...

It's gorgeous, it's gorgeous.

It's gorgeous.

The four so it's a little

bit faster, so it's going...

Because it's a lot faster, okay?

So let's practice that, two

nines into a faster four.

One two, one two, one two three.

One two, one two, one two three.

So let's listen to it.

It's in us, you know?

And these are like,

very old rhythms

that are, like, biological.

Even the seven and the three.

And the idea, the

idea that a four...

So what do you

do when you hit someone

immovable like me and it

just doesn't even affect me?

- I'm not hitting you hard.

- - Can you?

Yeah, hit

me like it would be...

Run away!

Cool, cool.

Ouch, God.

Man, I am going to fall

asleep on this table.

I am so sleepy.

Do you want your cigarette?

Yeah.

I think it's the only thing

that's keeping me up right now.

What is this stuff?

What is that drink

called again, schluzo?

Slivovitz.

You didn't have that much.
