Kiss Me First

Oh, holy and most merciful Saviour...

deliver us from the bitter pain of eternal death.

Lord, you know the secrets of our hearts, hear our prayer.

Oh, God, most mighty, spare us.

Most worthy judge eternal.

At our last hour, let us not fall from you.

We have entrusted our sister Myra to God's mercy.

Bookcase and the commode and the bath chair and that's everything.

Oh, no, the wheelchair.

Are you OK?

Have you got someone coming over to keep you company?

Friends...?

My friends, yes.

I liked your mum.

She was a good person.

Thanks.

She went so suddenly, I wasn't expecting it.

OK, well, um...

Take care.

Everyone's gone.

Agh!

Oof!

- Agh! - Aaah!

Agh!

I kicked your butt, Shadowfax.

Yeah? So why have my credits gone up?

Shit. You did it again!

Anyway, where are you?

Three weeks you've been gone.

I've been losing my moves because everyone's too frickin' easy.

I was busy.

Next time, I'm going to tear your tits off.

She's looking at you again.

Hey, I thought we were practising?

Shadowfax?

Don't you give me that.

Shadowfax!

Come on!

Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

I'm Shadowfax.

Shit.

Oh.

You didn't leave enough.

We're closed.

Can I speak to the manager?

Azul!

We don't have a manager. Someone messed up your order?

No, I'd like to...

Can I have a job?

I've never had a job, but I need one.

I can cook, I can clean, I can fix any computer.

Who'd you cook for?

My mum.

Go cook for her, kid, yeah?

She died.

She from round here?

Sorry.

- You can clean up. - When?

Now, kid. Better with the shit, then we'll see.

OK, enough.

You can come back tomorrow at 11. Three hours, Tuesday and Thursday.

It's minimum, OK?

- Thanks. - Never be late, lady.

- Filming you. - Well, stop filming.

Go on, say something.

I haven't got anything to say.

Nervous if you're filming.

Imagine I'm not here.

Well, that's silly, why would I say anything if you're not here?

Silly old me.

Decrepit, more like.

Decrepit me.

Are we done?

No, you have to say something.

You're precious.

You're the most precious.

You're the most precious.

Did I do well?

It's perfect.

The others will love it.

Sure, but I made it for you.

Some peace down there, right?

Oh, yeah. Felt good.

Really good.

I saw her again, the girl.

- And? - She's really the one?

- Well, we can look for someone else. - Oh, no, no, I'll make it work.

I'll try. I will.

Cool.

Now swim.

OK.

You're amazing.

Perfect.

I've come to enquire about the lodgings.

- Pardon? - The room.

It's Jonty. I've come about the room.

Um...

- Are you quiet? - You won't hear a peep out of me.

Needs to be quiet here. Um...

- What about your friends? - Don't... Don't have any.

- Do you spend a lot of time at home? - I... I am always out.

I'm, um... I'm training to be an actor.

So, it's just life that I'm interested in.

I'm researching life.

I thought you said you worked in a coffee shop.

Oh, yes. I'm...

I make a marvellous mocha.

My mum said you should make the best out of a bad situation.

Leila, I am that situation.

I really am.

I need, um, £45.57 a week.

I can't go any lower. Do you need to think it over?

- When did your mother, uh...? - 11 days ago.

Right.

Right. Um...

God rest her...

You know.

Soul?

I've cleared out the wardrobe but you have to leave everything else.

OK. Um, it'll help us to think of her.

And you can't never go in my room.

- Ever. - Got it.

Uh, I need my privacy too for when I practice my solos.

- Your solos? - My soliloquies.

I, uh... I totally lose myself. You understand?

Uh...

- When do you want to move in? - Uh...

You know...

Now.

I left my rucksack outside, just in case you were a bit...

Are you talking to me?

You talking to me?

You talking to me?

Then who the hell else you talking to? You're talking to me?

You talking to me?

Well, well, I'm the only one here.

You talking to me?

You talking to me?

Hey.

OK.

Hello?

- Hey, you! - What the fuck? Aargh!

Oh, that hurt.

What do you mean hurt?

Nothing hurts, that's the point.

It's different here.

Diff...?

- What is this? - If you broke in, you should go back.

No, there's this girl. She was watching me.

No. Go back.

Why?

Because here, what's inside you, what you're hiding, it'll come out.

I want to see.

You'll like them too much and then not being here will be too hard.

How is that bad?

OK. I warned.

Here it is.

Red Pill.

Check me out, suckers.

Half Buddha.

Wha...?

Ship's lady.

- Oh, my God. - .. a joke.

Oh. Eager virgin.

Oh, that's classy. Do you mind if I get right up in there?

Ugh. Be gone, dickness.

Oh-ho. Oh, jeez.

- Who's this? - Who knows?

Found her in the forest.

I'm Shadowfax.

Shadowfax?

It's cute.

But I don't think you're supposed to be here.

Definitely not supposed.

- How did you get in? - I...

- I just came. - You can't just come here.

Oh, stop being so literal, Tippi.

Ignore her.

We're Red Pill.

Red Pill. Is that a fighting team?

Not exactly. Not really into combat.

Leave that to jocks, proles, and brain deads.

So...

- What are you doing here? - You know, that is a good question.

What are we doing here?

- We get along. - That's it. We all get along.

- Apart from Tippi. - Oh, fuck you.

- You get used to her. - Mainly, we... We just talk.

- About what? - Anything.

We're losers. We're fucked up.

Fucked.

- Right, Calumny? - Yeah.

We're the losers all the way.

We're unusual. It...

It just doesn't matter so much here, that's all.

I'm Jocasta.

A bit of a mess.

Calumny, Force, Tippi.
