:E3530 (E) - /en2/ /en5/ /en8/ TIME CODE: 35:30 The threesome go to the bar. LYLLA I'll put it on. She puts the video cassette in the VCR at the bar. JACK (to Brad) I can't believe what a wimp you are. BRAD Come on, man. JACK We'd've been home free if you hadn't've chickened out. LYLLA Will you two cool it, please? Let's watch the tape. They watch the tape. TIME CODE: 36:30 ON THE TAPE: The tape, of amateur quality but still good enough so we can make out most of what is going on, begins in a wooded area. It's obvious the cameraman is hiding, taking the film without the subjects knowing. The subjects are in the woods, wearing sheets and skins, primitive ritualistic clothing. They are dancing, as if in the middle of some ritual. It becomes obvious that one woman, who is Maxine but whom we never see quite clearly enough to identify her (she might be wearing a half-mask, for example), is the object of the dance, the center of the focus of the movement -- she is being prepared for something. Finally a blanket is spread out, very formally, and Maxine lies down on it on her back. Dancers dance all around her. One dancer brings out a large phallus-like object, which is waved over Maxine's body like a magic wand: this, in fact, is an impregnation rite. Another dancer joins the one with the phallus-like object but this one carries a syringe -- perhaps other medical paraphenalia is around as well. The syringe and phallus dance over Maxine's body in a strange duet. Finally the dancer with the syringe goes down to his knees. Bodies may block what is happening from our clear view -- this, in fact, is the impregnation of Maxine, surrogate mother, with a donor's sperm. This is an impregnation ritual taking place out in the woods, and the impregnation is literal if "artificial," impregnating the church's surrogate mother, who is Maxine. When the sperm is injected, a great frenzy of dancing happens now, perhaps great fans are waved over Maxine, as if to comfort her. Finally she is put on a stretcher and carried off, still fanned, still pampered, as the frenzied dancers follow her away. Some confusion of camera angles now, as the camera tries to follow Maxine and the dancers but is lost, or perhaps the film runs out -- at any rate, the tape being shown is over. The entire running time of the tape should be FIVE MINUTES. TIME CODE: 41:30 /h2/ /h5/ /h8/ ?"Continue" ?"Bookmark" ?"Exit" :"Continue" Go to Part 3 and select character.
