Split

- Hi, are you here for the rehearsal?

Yeah.

Great, just sign here.

Great and straight through there.

Hi, are you here for the rehearsal?

Yeah.

Just sign here.

Hey.

- Hi. - Hi.

Fucking critics.

Thank you.

- Don't let the bastards get you down.

On to the next.

On to the next.

Hi.

Hi.

I saw your show last night.

Loved it.

Thank you.

Can I look?

Absolutely.

It's beautiful.

I'm Inanna.

Inanna?

So, it's your project they're doing?

- Oh, no, no, it's just a coincidence.

We started rehearsals today.

- What's it about, this Inanna project?

It's based on this myth,

the descent of Inanna, and it's about women,

and how we've had to cut off huge chunks of ourselves

in order to survive and how scary but important it is

to grieve for those parts of ourselves and reclaim them.

- Well, all of yourself is a total abuse asshole.

Excuse me.

Give me the keys.

What?

Give me the keys.

Sorry about that.

- It's okay, I'm in your way, I should go.

- You know how to drive one of these things?

You got it?

Yeah.

You can leave that there,

I think she's too much for just the two of us.

She's beautiful.

She has to be.

Your tea's getting cold.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

I have a headache.

Should I go?

- Only if you promise to come back soon.

Promise.

85.

Sorry I'm late.

- It's okay, get ready, go upstairs.

Sorry I'm late.

This is beyond late, Inanna.

I had to cover six fucking dances for you.

I'll make 'em all up tonight.

I kissed him.

What?

I kissed him.

What, Derek?

I am so in love with this guy.

- How can you be in love with this guy?

You don't know this guy.

I do, though, I know his soul,

I can feel it in his work, it's amazing.

- You're not in love, you're obsessed.

- You just don't believe in love.

- You're a fucking idiot, you don't know a goddamn thing.

Would you say fuck you to me just once?

Fuck you.

Sorry.

Did he recognize you?

- No, he's only been here once when I was dancing.

He's probably here tonight.

Go on if you're covering me.

I can't believe he's here.

It's his regular club.

Oh god, I'm gonna throw up.

Stop it.

- What if he doesn't like dancers?

- Then he's a fucking hypocrite like the rest of them.

- You gotta dance this last one for me, please, please?

No fucking way.

Anja!

Okay.

- Should I send her over after her dance?

No, not tonight.

Hello.

Want a drink?

- No, I just came to pick you up.

I'll go get the car.

Thanks for the drink.

Let me see it.

You're taking 700 bucks from me tonight

and you still won't come

and have a drink with me outside the club.

- I told you, I don't date clients.

- You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on.

God, it sounds so stupid, please?

Just a drink.

No.

A thousand bucks.

Thank you.

- Come outside with me and let me cum on your tits.

That's all, just let me come on your tits.

Are you afraid?

No.

You can't have sex with me.

I promise.

I'm staying in the hotel four blocks south of here.

I'll wait for you there.

You got her okay?

- Dave's here, he can walk you upstairs to your apartment.

Oh, it's okay, I'll...

- No, no, it's late, he'll walk you upstairs.

Shouldn't you be heading back?

You've got exams tomorrow, right?

I'll be fine.

What is it?

You have to take this case.

I would never win it.

- We have to help, we can't just drop it,

it's a fucking joke, she's a wreck,

she deserves to get a piece of her life back.

- She has to quit dancing, get herself cleaned up,

how do we get her back to her parents?

Cleaned up?

Yeah.

Cleaned up?

Fucking cleaned up?

You know what I meant.

No, she needed to get dirty.

If she was allowed to get dirty for real,

then she wouldn't have to become a junkie

and a rape victim to get...

- You know what I meant, sweetheart.

- Rape and repressions are two sides

of the same fucking coin.

I know, baby, I know.

When you rape a girl,

the problem is not that you're taking away her purity

which gets everyone all up in arms,

it's that you're taking away her wholeness.

Trying to keep her pure, repressing her sexuality

also takes her wholeness.

I don't want my daughter to grow up pure.

I know, baby.

I want her to grow up whole.

She will.

She will.

It's all right, sweetheart.

As it says in the text,

Inanna placed the crown on her head.

She went to the sheepfold, to the Shepard.

She leaned back against the apple tree.

When she leaned against the apple tree,

her vulva was wondrous to behold.

Stop, stop.

Inanna, what are you doing?

You're not naked, you're not revealed.

You're acting out some idea of stripping, stop it.

Iris, come.

I'm going to give Iris an image to improvise around,

all you have to do is mirror her, that's all.

You aren't responsible for anything,

but mirroring exactly what she does.

- She's totally, totally wrong for the part.

You need to fire her.

She's gonna ruin the whole project.

There's no way that she can do the part

the way it needs to be done.

- Trust me, Iris, you have to trust me.

She's actually perfect.

Okay.

Hey, hey.

Wow.

That's incredible.

It's beautiful.

- It's been on the tip of my mind for so long.

I couldn't find it.

But now you.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I hate to have to go, but I'm gonna be late for work.

You should go.
