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
