January 19 - "Bleeds No More"

An entirely white room. No chairs. Just a small table. That, too, is white.

PUNK ROCK CHICK stands across from PUNK ROCK DUDE.

Silverstein’s “Bleeds No More” loudly in the background.

PUNK ROCK CHICK lunges at PUNK ROCK DUDE from across the table. She grabs at his chest, digs her hand in deep and pulls his heart out. Blood falls from his chest.

PUNK ROCK DUDE finds a corner and starts crying.

PUNK ROCK CHICK takes PUNK ROCK DUDE’s heart, looks at it, slams it down on the table. She pulls out a knife from in between her breasts.

She licks the knife in full view of PUNK ROCK DUDE, then starts slicing his heart into small, thin pieces.

When she’s finished slicing his heart, she slides the knife along her wrists and blood starts to slowly trickle out. She creates a small path of blood along the room before she finds a corner and starts crying.

PUNK ROCK DUDE stands up, walks to the table, looks at his heart. He pulls out a small sewing kit from his pocket and begins to sew his heart back together.

When he’s finished, he sticks his heart back into his chest. He turns around to look at PUNK ROCK CHICK.

He walks over to her, throws the sewing kit down to her.

January 12 - "Dirty Job"

A gynecologist’s office.
KITTY, 22, sits, feet in stirrups, waiting for DR. COOTER.
He enters abrasively, sits. He wears a terrible toupee.

DR. COOTER
So do you actually have a problem or are you just trying to fool the insurance company?

KITTY
See, I’m not entirely sure, Dr. Cooter. Thing is

DR. COOTER
Either way, it’s fine. I don’t really care (he looks at her chart), Catherine.

KITTY
You can call me Kitty.

DR. COOTER
As long as you don’t call me late for dinner!

A beat.

DR. COOTER
So what seems to be the problem?

KITTY
It’s kind of uncomfortable.

DR. COOTER
Most vagina-related problems are. I’ve been working with them for thirty years. I've seen it all. Even the one or two with teeth. Lay it on me, can't be any worse than that!

KITTY
Well, my boyfriend and I - and we haven’t had sex yet - but when we fool around and he uses his fingers, I bleed. A lot.

DR. COOTER
Easy peasy. Let’s have a look-see.

DR. COOTER starts examining her. He’s cold and methodical, she is uncomfortable.

DR. COOTER
It’s a very sensitive area, the vagina. If your boyfriend’s fingernails are too long, he could have scratched you. I see a little bit of bruising.

KITTY
Yeah, I saw that, too.

The exam finishes.

DR. COOTER
Just tell him to go gentler next time. And I’d wait a few days before you do it again.

Her cell phone rings - “Hey Mama” by Kanye West.

KITTY
(holding up her cell phone)
Would you like to tell him that?

DR. COOTER
That’s quite alright. I’ve got other patients today.

KITTY
Well, thank you, doctor.

DR. COOTER
Take care. It’s been good seeing you two again.

He exits.
Blackout.
