eros & psyche

INT. APHRODITE'S TEMPLE - KITCHEN PANTRY - CONTINUOUS

Breathing heavy, Eros stares into Psyche's eyes with passion. Psyche stares back with reservation.

EROS

Has your time here been sublime?

PSYCHE

All the lusting, the thirst, makes me want to die.

EROS

You're having a horrible time?

PSYCHE

I'm pretending.

EROS

What do you think of this?

Gesturing to the pantry.

PSYCHE

Seeing it up close confirms how bored I am.

EROS

The temple!

PSYCHE

Bored...and hungry.

Psyche looks around the pantry for something to eat.

EROS

I love you.

PSYCHE

Who are you?

EROS

I love you, truly.

PSYCHE

You loved and fucked a tortoise.

EROS

I'm confessing my true feelings to you and you spend your time bringing up when I fucked a tortoise-
