Crash Page #3

Synopsis: Since a road accident left him with serious facial and bodily scarring, a former TV scientist has become obsessed by the marriage of motor-car technology with what he sees as the raw sexuality of car-crash victims. The scientist, along with a crash victim he has recently befriended, sets about performing a series of sexual acts in a variety of motor vehicles, either with other crash victims or with prostitutes whom they contort into the shape of trapped corpses. Ultimately, the scientist craves a suicidal union of blood, semen, and engine coolant, a union with which he becomes dangerously obsessed.

What exactly is your project,|Vaughan?

A book of car crashes?

A medical study?

A sensational documentary?

Global traffic?

It's something...

we are all intimately involved in.

The reshaping of the human body|by modern technology.

He must have f***ed a lot of women|in that huge car of his.

It's like a bed on wheels.

It must smell of semen.

It does.

Do you find him attractive?

He's very pale.

Covered with scars.

Would you like to f*** him, though,|in that car?

No.

But when he's in that car, he-

Have you seen his penis?

Looks like it's badly scarred...

from a motorcycle accident.

Is he circumcised?

Can you imagine|what his anus looks like?

Describe it to me.

Would you like to sodomize him?

Would you like to put your penis|right into his anus?

Just thrust it up his anus?

Tell me.|Describe it to me.

Tell me what you would do.

How could you just kiss him|in that car?

Describe how you'd reach over...

and unzip his greasy jeans...

take out his penis.

Would you kiss it|or suck it right away?

Which hand would you hold it in?

Have you ever sucked a penis?

Do you know|what semen tastes like?

Have you ever tasted semen?

Some semen|is saltier than others.

Vaughan's semen|must be very salty.

Have you come?

I'm all right.

Finish your story.

The junior pathologist|at Ashford Hospital.

Then the husband|of a colleague of mine.

Then...

a trainee radiologist.

Then the service manager|at my garage.

You had sex with all those men|in cars?

Only in cars?

Yes.|I didn't plan it that way.

Did you fantasize that Vaughan|was photographing all these sex acts...

as though they were|traffic accidents?

Yes.

They felt like traffic accidents.

We must accumulate|all the paper we can, Ballard.

Some of the stuff|that Helen brought back is terrific.

Tolerances of the human face|in crash impacts.

Mechanisms of-

Where is the-

I'm sure we see this again|in slow motion- closer, I mean.

In detail.

We can watch another tape.

No. I know this tape.

That tape player's f***ed.

That's what it is.|It always does that.

It always does that.

You're upset.

I'm all right.

I'm all right now.

I've always wanted|to drive a crash car.

You could get your wish|at any moment.

I mean a crash car|with a history.

Camus' Vega...

Nathaniel West's station wagon...

Grace Kelly's Rover 3500.

Just fix it enough|to get it rolling.

Don't clean it.|Don't touch anything else.

Is that why you drive this car?

Do you see Kennedy's assassination|as a special kind of car crash?

The case could be made.

Here.|Take a look at this.

Tell me what you think of these.

Yeah, you recognize this one.|This is James Dean.
