Save My Soul transcript

Feb 29, 2008 14:26

I attempted to transcribe the short film Save My Soul, it was as complete as I could get it, if anyone see something missing, go ahead and comment, and I'll fix it, I know that there were two points that I couldn't clearly make out, if you want go ahead and pass it around, make icons, wallpapers and stuff like that if this will help.:D

[Terra narrating while Lea is folding clothes]

Terra: They call themselves humans, the Female of the species, is very reliable, and understands her place in society. Her role includes her ability to satisfy and nourish the Male, by different means, she feeds him, cleans his clothes, makes him believe he’s always right, fakes orgasms…[ Lea finds another woman’s panties in her ‘male’s’ pants]
[record ripping sound]

[cuts to title and then the kitchen]

[Terra still narrating while Lea is eating and drinking]

Terra: When she’s depressed, she eats, looks for attention and someone to talk to.

[Lia listening to someone’s voice mail message]

Voicemail: Hello this is Sab and Jess, not here, we’ve got a life, deal with it.

[still narrating]

Terra: The comes alcohol [Lea drinks out of the bottle] It makes them feel better, It…[ Lea starts pouring pills into her hand while drinking] Whoa whoa whoa, what is that! Don’t! Hey! HEY! Oh fuck me, what are you doing now? [Terra appears behind Lea]

[Lea looks behind her, and then looks to her side where Tara then materialized at]

Terra: Seriously Lea, you’re smarter than that…maybe not. But, a dead body, that’s an awful lot of paperwork, and you don’t want to make people work on Sunday, that’s just selfish of you.

[Lea and Terra look at each other for a moment and then simultaneously scream]

[Lea panics and runs to the bathroom, closing the door, while looking for a weapon of some sort]

[Terra materializes in front of the door]

Terra: What’s up, you’re not supposed to see me!

Lea: [armed with a toilet brush] Don’t move!

Terra: Or what, you’ll toilet brush me?

Lea: Yeah! God?

Terra: It’s his day off and the reception’s on strike, so you’re stuck with me.

Lea: Who are you?

Terra: Terra, your unwilling but very capable guardian angel.

Lea: You don’t have any wings.

Terra: Yeah, well they’re expensive.

Lea: You’re rude.

Terra: You’re drunk.

Lea: You’re mean.

Terra: You are human, hmm, and if I wasn’t hear babysitting you, I would be working on my exams right now.

Lea: So you’re here to help me? [she says hopefully]

Terra: Well no, I just-I just can’t have you die before I graduate!

Lea: [folding her arms] I want another angel, I don’t like you.

Terra: Oh suck it up princess, I don’t like you either, but *we* don’t have a choice.

[cut to kitchen]

[Lea is on the floor messing with a couple straws while Terra is on top of the counter messing with pastries]

Lea: Well, it’s no wonder my life turned out to be such a failure with someone like you protecting me.

Terra: Not my fault you always choose the losers. [picks up pastry, smells it then licks it, throws it down and it accidentally falls on the floor] Oops.

[Lea looks in the direction it fell, pick it up and licks it and then tosses it back on the counter while Tara is talking]

Terra: You know what my thesis is about, it’s an injunction to the human power of people destroying each other’s hearts so easily. And I know what you’re going to say [in a mocking tone and Lea mouths it with her] ‘How can you study our hearts when you don’t have one’, well, I had one and I’m glad it’s gone.

Lea: I want mine to go too, that bastard broke it.

[Lea starts crying and Terra hesitantly pats her on the head]

Lea: Aren’t you supposed to make me feel better? God.

[cut to Terra looking at Lea who’s now eating ice cream]

Terra: Is it working? [Lea shrugs] Hey, check this out, I took the dolphin option last year!

[Starts making dolphin noises]

[Lea looks un-amused]

Terra: Dolphins thought I was funny. [still attempting to cheer Lea up] Hey, hey, hey, uh, what does a little chick say? [high pitched voice] Tweet tweet! What does a big chick say? [low pitched voice] TWEET TWEET! [burps]

[Lea’s still un-amused]

Terra: Did you here the one about splat the dog? [Lea shakes her head] The dog crosses the road, Splat, the dog! [laughs at her own joke]

[Lea begins to cry]

Terra: Oh don’t, DON’T! Don’t, come on, enough of the self pity Lea, There is a part of your brain that’s called logic, you might want to try using it. It will tell you that if a man cheats on you, you don’t try to kill yourself, you kill him! [quickly looking up]I mean, kick him, kick his ass, no killing, just kicking!

Lea: Yeah, I’m a very peaceful person.

Terra: Right *heh*…soon to be obese [watching Lea eating ice cream]

[Lea looks up and says something incoherently with her mouth full while Tara slides the ice cream away]

Terra: Come on [tilts her head in the direction she wants Lea to follow]

[cuts to Terra and Lea on the floor with empty bottles with drawn faces on them, Terra behind the bottle that looks like a male face]

Terra: [in a fake male New York accent] ‘Yo Bitch, you got something to tell me?’

Lea: Yeah, he doesn’t like talk like that.

Terra: [getting out of the silly accent and just talking normal behind the bottle] Hey, sweetie, I’m home, what’s for dinner?

Lea: I know you’re cheating on me, and I never want to see you again [moving her own bottle] and now I could uh, throw those panties at him the ones that I found!?

Terra: Yeah, uh, no, look, get more personal, yeah, you could be nasty if you tried really hard.

Lea: Okay, okay, you know that scratch on your car the neighbor did, that was me! Eh?

[Looks at Terra who shakes her head]

Lea: Uh, your f-favorite boxers, those s-stinky boxers with the hole? I-I put that hole there!

Terra: [back in character] So, it’s all your fault?

Lea: What? No! You’re the one who just stopped! You stopped looking at me, you stopped talking to me, you never even, you never even touch me anymore.

[Terra puts her bottle to the side and sits up]

Terra: You know what Lea? You’re actually an okay human [knocking over the bottle representing the guy] he doesn’t deserve you.

Lea: What is the point of being ‘okay’ if you have no one to be okay with?

Terra: [smiles reassuringly] Fine someone else then.

[Lea gives Tara this goofy smile]

Terra: What? No, I can’t stay, I don’t even like you, remember?

Lea: [holding out her arms for a hug] Come here, [moving forward to try to hug Terra]come…

Terra: [straightens up and holds her hand out] Hey!

[They both pause as they hear a car puling up]

[Lea looks in the direction of the door and then back at Terra]

Terra: Okay, now you go tell him, and don’t forget to mention how you faked it, every damn time!

Lea: [laughing surprised] I-I-I didn’t…[Terra does the signal for she’s been watching]

[They look at each other for moment and then Lea gets up and starts to leave while Terra sits there listening]

Terra: chchch, shhhhh [to someone above] I’m busy here [slowly disappearing] No, no, no I don’t want to! Oh seriously, oh man, you suck! Screw the exams, I’m learning on the field! What? What do you mean I passed, I haven’t even…oh. So does that mean I get a discount on the wings?

[end credits]
