Rod A woman's oath means nothing. I'm not worried.
Myrrhine Well, let me get a bed.
Rod But I don't need one:
the ground's OK by me.
Myrrhine I wouldn't dream
of making you lie there (though you deserve it).
Rod She really loves me, that's quite obvious.
Myrrhine Your bed, sir. Lie right down, I'll tuck you in.
But I forgot, what is it, yes, a mattress.
Rod A mattress? None for me, thanks.
Myrrhine I'm uncomfortable
on box-springs.
Rod Give me just a little kiss?
Myrrhine OK.
Rod Oh lordy! Get the mattress quick!
Myrrhine And here it is. Stay down while I undress.
But I forget, what is it, yes, a pillow.
Rod But I'm all set, I need no pillow
Myrrhine I do.
Rod It's like a restaurant where they serve no food.59 Myrrhine Lift up, now, up. Well, now I think I'm set.
Rod I know I am! Come here to papa, darling!
Myrrhine I'm taking off my bra. But don't forget,
don't lie to me about your vote for peace.
Rod May lightning strike me!
Myrrhine You don't have a blanket.
Rod It's not a blanket I want! I want to get fucked!
Myrrhine That's just what's going to happen. Back in a flash.
Rod That woman drives me nuts with all her bedding.
Myrrhine Get up now.
Rod But I've already got it up!
Myrrhine You want some perfume?
Rod Thank you, no, I don't
Myrrhine But I do, if it's all the same to you.
Rod Then get the goddamned perfume. Jesus Christ!60 Myrrhine Hold out your hand. And save a bit for me.
Rod I don't like perfume as a general rule,
unless it smells like love is in the air.
Myrrhine Oh silly me, I must have brought Brand X.61 Rod No, wait, I like it!
Myrrhine You're just being polite.
Rod God damn the guy who first invented perfume!
Myrrhine I found some good stuff. Here's the tube.
Rod Here's mine!
Come on now, let's lie down, there's nothing more
to fetch.
Myrrhine You're right, I will, I'll be right there.
I'm taking off my shoes. Remember, dear,
your promise to vote for peace.
Rod I surely will.
Where are you? Myrrhine? Myrrhine! Where's my Myrrhine?
She pumped me up and dropped me flat. I'm ruined!
