Scene 1

Dim-lit bedroom, beautiful couple in early thirties engaging in rough sexual intercourse. Woman cums, man cums. Woman reaches for a cigarette, man reaches for a glass of whiskey. Lovie-dovie sniffing, caressing and telepathic conversation. Silence.

Man: I’d like to listen to your voice…

Woman: What?

M: The sound of your voice. I’d like to hear it…it’s been a while

W: It’s true. Is English your family language?

M: No. But we can speak English. Can I hear you say your name?

Voice from now on

W: Lucia.

M: Oh, yes, I can hear you. You have a beautiful voice.

W: Thank you. May I listen to you saying your name?

M: Peter.

Scene 2

Man in the shower. Woman just got out of the shower and is fixing herself up in front of the mirror. She’s taking a cocktail of vitamins, nutritional supplements and antioxidants. The bathroom has a large window that overlooks the megalopolis. It’s evening. They speak in English.

M: Listen, what do you have?

W: I’m not sure. Last time I got tested I had Chlamydia and HIV…but that was over, I don’t know, a year ago. You?

M: I have Chlamydia too…

W: Oh, nice coincidence.

M: …and syphilis…and maybe HIV now…

Laughing. Sighing

M: Are you gonna take the pills? I mean, are you gonna kill it?

W: No.

M: Are you sure?

W: Yes. Are you?

M: No. I want to keep them.

W: I love you.

M: I love you too.
