      BRUNDLE and TAWNY have just spent the night having intense sex, after he had       just Teleported himself - yet again - believing that it has somehow "improved"       and "sexually energized" him. He is sitting on the edge of the bed and       unconsciously picking at        some peeling skin on his subtlely corrupting face.              TAWNY: So, are we going to breakfast, or what?              BRUNDLE (To TAWNY; he's, seemingly, half mentally "detached" from the reality       of the moment): It's your turn...              TAWNY: To do what?              BRUNDLE: To "go through".              TAWNY: No, I don't wanna' try that...              BRUNDLE: It'll make you feel "sexy"...              TAWNY: But, I ALREADY "feel sexy".              TAWNY pauses on that thought, holds up & studies a liquor glass, and shifts       the subject with a "new idea".              TAWNY (Hovering over BRUNDLE'S back with the glass): How about a nice "Alcohol       Rub"?              She begins to slowly pour the contents of the glass over his bare back. He is       not paying attention to what she is doing; he is STILL only "half there",       mentally. As the alcohol contacts his back, he violently tenses-up - the       alcohol is BURNING him for        some reason! Rotating with "lightning speed", he SLAPS the glass from her       hand, and it is launched off to the side of the room.              BRUNDLE: DON'T DO THAT, IT HURTS!              TAWNY recovers from BRUNDLE'S reaction, approaches him and begins to massage       his back muscles. He's now flinching in obvious discomfort and pain.              TAWNY (While rubbing, etc., with "sexual suggestiveness" - not just to       "soothe" his skin and muscles): Sorry, hon... I didn't know that you had the       "skin of a princess".              BRUNDLE can no longer stand the burning and the pain. He suddenly spins on       her, grabs her by her loose-fitting vest. She nearly slips out of it, but it       holds just tight enough for him to be able to yank her off of the bed and he       begins to drag her toward        "Telepod 1", the "Transmitter Pod".              BRUNDLE: ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT... (still dragging her) You are going to LIKE IT!              TAWNY: I DON'T WANT TO -- I'M AFRAID!              BRUNDLE: DON'T BE!!              Suddenly, VERONICA (QUAIFE) steps from out of the shaddows. BRUNDLE and TAWNY       had not heard her enter the LAB/LOFT-APARTMENT during their exchange on the       bed. She looks very stern, deeply concerned, and, mostly, EXTREMELY ANGRY at       finding them -mostly,        HIM - "this way"!              VERONICA: NO... BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID!!              Everyone suddenly freezes in place at her jarring words... especially because       of their VERY OMINOUS DELIVERY.                     That's the scene - FROM BEST MEMORY - (might be a word off here-or-there, but       pretty damned close!), ALL FROM MEMORY. THAT IS THE [DEFINITIVE] ORIGIN OF THE       PHRASE - BTW: IT IS REPORTED THAT THE "TAG LINE" ACTUALLY CAME FROM EXECUTIVE       PRODUCER OF THE        FILM, MEL BROOKS, AND IT IMPACTED ON PRODUCER, STUART CORNFELD, AND DIRECTOR,       DAVID CRONENBERG, SO STRONGLY, THAT CRONENBERG DECIDED TO INCORPORATE IT AS       DIALOG DIRECTLY INTO THE SCRIPT, ALONG WITH USING IT AS THE "ONE SHEET"       POSTER'S "TAG LINE"!              I'm doing a current project, and "THE FLY" script/film has been a primary       source of much of my research for same...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
