The Little Death Page #5

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?

to start again.

- Just getting good too!

- How was it getting good?

Why do I have hepatitis?

Because I thought that your

character was, you know,

like, maybe got around a bit.

You know, a bit slutty.

I thought that would be sexy.

I'm not gonna want to have sex

if you've just diagnosed me

with an STD.

Just... Just make me

feel sexy.

Alright, alright, alright.

Do it again. I promise

I'll make you feel sexy, OK?

Um, go back to your spot.

I'll start here and...

- You alright?

- Just feel a bit hot.

Oh, is this part of the...?

We started?

Miss Hawkins,

I need to speak...

- Baby, you OK?

Hey. Hey, what's the matter?

Hey, you're right.

You're right.

Good thing I'm a doctor, eh?

Hello.

Nice of you to show up.

I had car trouble,

I'm so sorry.

- Ah!

- Oh, ah, sorry.

- Shh.

You're not fighting. You know.

- Keep going. Just keep going.

- How do you know?

No, no, baby. Your smell.

Just keep going.

Sh*t.

- My smell.

- Just keep going.

I even got these clothes

from a second-hand store.

It's still good, baby,

keep going.

- No.

- Yes, yes, yes.

No, I f***ed it. I'm sorry.

Oh, come here.

- For a second, though?

- Yeah, definitely.

Yeah? I'm sorry

about the groceries.

- It's OK.

- I heard something crack.

- Eggs.

- Sh*t.

- The eggs?

- Yeah, it's OK.

- Really? I'll get more eggs.

- Shh.

- I'm sorry.

- Shh.

It's OK.

- Hey!

- Hey.

- Are you still working?

- Yeah.

I'm just cleaning stuff out.

It's good, actually. It's

keeping my mind off things.

You need to take a break,

baby.

You want to watch a movie

or something?

- Um... yeah, sure.

- Yeah?

I thought we could watch one

in bed?

- Alright.

- Alright.

Actually, I picked up a couple

on my way home.

What have I got?

I have got Sophie's Choice

or Philadelphia.

Any comedies?

Might be a bit heavy for me,

hon.

Oh.

Well, maybe later?

Will you come and help me

make some dinner?

Yeah, yeah, just give me

a couple of minutes.

Alright, well, I'll leave

the onions on the bench

for you to cut, OK?

Just... Onions again?

Jesus, R0, no of fence,

I'm a bit onioned out.

I feel like

we've been eating onions

every night

for the past week.

OK, alright.

OK.

- How was your day?

- It was good.

It was exhausting but good.

Oh, that's nice.

So you haven't been thinking

about your dad at all?

Well, I am now.

Why did you bring up Dad?

Well, you just haven't spoken

about him in a few days.

You must miss him.

I'm just trying not to think

about it.

Can we just talk about

something else?

Hey, you remember

when he used to leave

those ridiculously long

messages on your phone

and you wouldn't even finish

listening to them?
