Scene 35

INT. RESTAURANT FOR RENT TWO - DAY
Chris and Izarra are disgusted by another bad space.

IZARRA
Let’s give it a chance.

Chris and Izarra explore, make unsavory discoveries.

CHRIS
Live food could catch something.

IZARRA
Live?

CHRIS
Yeah. You know how veganism built on the vegetarian movement?

IZARRA
I could turn vegan.

CHRIS
Then came nude.

IZARRA
(becoming aroused)
Nude? I’m into that.

CHRIS
You know, raw?

IZARRA
Raw!

CHRIS
The raw or nude foods movement discovered the nutritional benefits of eating everything raw.

IZARRA
(more aroused)
That’s hot.

CHRIS
Never heating food to more than 104 degrees.

IZARRA
A hot, feverish body temperature.

CHRIS
The live foods movement takes it further, recognizing that live cultures like those in yogurt can exist in everything we eat.

IZARRA
Like a raw steak quivering on the cutting board awaiting your masculine hands to tenderize it.

Chris is confused by Izarra’s lack of understanding but is carried along in his excitement.

CHRIS
Refueling the body with a multitude of beneficial bacteria, which find their home deep within the bowel and aid in the digestion process.

IZARRA
Deep within the bowel.

CHRIS
You should try my live foods cheesecake.

IZARRA
(breaking from her building arousal)
Cheesecake? With no cheese? That’s not cheesecake.

CHRIS
It’s all about the proper use of nuts.

IZARRA
(back into arousal)
Nuts?

CHRIS
Cashews as a base. Macadamias for lightness and lift and brazil nuts for a little pungent kick.

IZARRA
Yes!

CHRIS
Then I use my hands to massage the dough, applying just enough strength so as not to bruise.

IZARRA
A little bruise never hurt anyone.

CHRIS
Add dates and figs, and stir harder and harder, increasing momentum.

IZARRA
Mmm hmmm. Mmm hmmm.

CHRIS
Lemon pulp.

IZARRA
Pulp!

CHRIS
Gently massage in coco butter.

IZARRA
(massaging herself)
Oh yeah.

Izarra moans continuously.

CHRIS
Stirring harder and harder, keeping aware of the consistency. Firmer and firmer, until finally you reach just the right point.

IZARRA
(reaching orgasm)
Oh yes, yes, God yes!!!

CHRIS
Are you OK?

Izarra lights a cigarette, still speechless.

CHRIS
You smoke?

IZARRA
Sorry. I’m just excited about this space.

Izarra throws the cigarette in toilet. The water in the toilet lights on fire.
