The Little Death Page #3

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?

OK.

Rape fantasy - very common.

No sh*t. That's what she said.

Yeah. Yael's got one.

Massive one.

- Really? And you've never...?

- No, can't be done.

I've tried but

it's a flawed fantasy.

- Not possible.

- Why?

Well, think about it.

The moment someone asks to

be raped, it stops being rape.

Right? It's only rape

if they don't want it.

- She wants it - not rape.

- Right.

The reason they can't get

what they want

is because they want it.

God, that doesn't seem fair.

Sucks, mate.

There's got to be something

I can do.

I just want to make her happy.

Whatever happened

to good, old-fashioned...

...run-of-the-mill sex?

- Yeah.

People have to complicate it

with all this kinky sh*t.

Yeah.

You don't have anything

like that, do ya?

- Hm?

- No weird fetish?

Nah. I mean, define 'weird',

you know.

Hi.

- Hi! Hi, sorry to bother you.

- That's OK.

Uh, were you in the middle

of something?

Oh, no, we're just having

some lunch. It's alright.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- That's fine.

I'll be quick.

Um, my name's Steve.

I've just moved in

down the road.

- Oh, we've just moved in too.

- Hey, how about that!

- Hello, welcome.

- Thank you.

Well, as I said,

I won't keep you.

- I'm doing the rounds.

- Nice.

- Visiting the neighbours.

- Good.

And I wanted

to give you these.

- Aww...

- My Way of saying hi.

Oh, my God. Golliwogs.

Also, I am required

by federal law to inform you

that I am a convicted

sex offender.

Where did you find Golliwogs?

I didn't think

they made them anymore.

- No, they don't, I do.

- Oh!

Yeah, baking

is my little hobby.

Amazing. I haven't seen these

since I was a kid.

I think they stopped

making them

on account of

the, you know, racism.

- Yeah, makes you think.

- Yeah, it does.

OK, well, I won't keep you

any longer.

- OK, thanks, Dan.

- Steve.

Steve! Sorry. Maeve.

Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

- Thanks so much for this.

- Bye-bye.

- Thank you, bye.

Please be kidding,

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

Well, could you brush

your teeth

if you're going to breathe

into my face like that?

I don't want to be

the bad guy here, Phil.

But you can't keep

falling asleep at work.

I mean,

you're dropping the ball.

So that's a penalty,

that's one strike.

I'm sorry,

it won't happen again.

- Alright, off you...

- I'm tired.

I didn't get that raise

that...

I told you why I couldn't

give you the raise...

...home life got

a little bit...

...times are tight,

money's tight.

I mean, we're all feeling

the pinch.

- I'm cancelling my holiday.

- Really?

- Shortening it, yeah.

- OK, I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

Have you ever been

to Thailand?
