See nothing but black, hear noises of sex, Ymo’s voice making these comical ‘oohs’ and unconvincing erotic giggles.
INT. APARTMENT
Open on a shot of her nude from below, short blue hair hanging down, as if we’re the one she’s on top of. She sighs and looks down as if giving up on us.
YMO
I can’t do this, Somnus.
Show Somnus upclose sitting upright over a different background, upper half of him at first – we see he’s clothed. Right away cut to a view of them in the room together from behind Somnus – he’s sitting across the room from her and we can see his pants are half off and his arm drops down in defeat from where he’s been using it on himself. She’s lying naked on top of a futuristic-looking inflatable doll.
SOMNUS
Try the vibrate setting. It’s new.
YMO
I don’t want to try the vibrate setting.
SOMNUS
Oh, come on. You've never been one to refuse a little added stimulation.
Somnus holds up a vibrator that he's just picked up from the floor.
YMO
You know, this is just how you’re going to start thinking about sex now. ‘Turn on the G-spot setting.’
She does an impression of herself as a sex robot vibrating in response to his adjustments.
SOMNUS
Well, what do you want to do?
Ymo looks at Somnus, smiles, takes out her nosering and punctures the doll with it.
SOMNUS
What’d you do that for?!
Then she turns onto her side and smiles knowingly at him again, waiting.
From the upclose shot of him we see him take his shirt off, sighing dutifully, then from behind we see him get up and go to her. He lays down beside her and she rolls on top of him. Then a shot of both of them upclose, then that same shot of her from below that we started out with.
YMO
I guess I’m just an old-fashioned girl.
EXT. CITY STREET
(Music starts)
Rickety elevator doors open and Ymo walks out, stepping out of her apartment building. She’s dressed in tight, revealing clothing and as soon as she gets outside some guys start yelling come-ons at her.
She struts by, pulling her shirt down a little to try to cover up, but it’s not working. We see her whole body shot from behind and she looks over her shoulder at them, smiling a little but also annoyed.
We see all around her the area is in decay, a ghetto, and then that the city itself is in decay as she moves through it. Smokestacks rise up and she steps over homeless people on the sidewalk.
INT. HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM
She waits in a waiting room chair, reading a magazine, then is called in, lays back with a napkin over her spread legs while a doctor examines her there.
(Music ends)
She walks out to a counter.
YMO
When do I get paid?
RECEPTIONIST
We’ll let you know.
YMO
Northside lets me know a lot sooner than this place – maybe I’ll just keep going to them.
RECEPTIONIST
You’ll be back… When you need something. What is it you’re hooked on? Smack? Speed? They all hooked on something.
YMO
Food. And having a place to sleep is nice. See ya.
Ymo starts to walk away.
RECEPTIONIST
(calls out) Well, just remember, we don’t pay retirement.
YMO
That’s okay. I don’t expect to live that long anyway.
