Hey there, crime kids. Happy Hump Day. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where your most violent fantasies become sins of the flesh, right here, where the hardboiled action is non-stop, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.
In Chapter 3 of THE DISH, B-movie starlet Haven Crayce watches DOUBLE INDEMNITY on her houseboat while her elderly husband Dart sleeps ... while her new flame Jett Targo pleasures herself at home thinking about her. Meanwhile, sheriff's deputy Trimmer Waltz cruises by her boat, also fantasizing about her ... as does little person Nola Bliss, Haven's neighbor on 'the boat next door' ...
INT. CRAYCE HOUSEBOAT - NIGHT
Dart is propped up in bed.
Natty in a smoking jacket
and ascot.
Haven sits in
a chair by the bed,
resplendent in a fancy gown.
But no red carpet.
Just thick, brown shag.
DART
I can’t believe
you’ve never seen it.
HAVEN
So I’m seeing it now.
DART
Shhh.
ON THE SCREEN
we see titles: DOUBLE INDEMNITY.
DART (O.C.)
Listen to that score.
They don’t compose ‘em
like that any more --
EXT. VOYAGE STREET - MOMENTS LATER
An ancient, ruined VW bug.
Engine idling.
Facing the beach.
INSIDE THE CAR
we see Rush.
SNARFING up a big,
fat line off the dashboard.
He SHAKES his head.
Takes a drag of his smoke.
Shudders.
INT. JETT’S APARTMENT - AT THAT MOMENT
Jett lies in bed
in a white tank top.
Opens a drawer
on the bedside table.
Takes out a vibrator.
Leans back.
Flicks it on.
It disappears under the sheets.
She closes her eyes.
EXT. MARINA - NIGHT
A SHERIFF’S PATROL BOAT
skims across the water soundlessly.
At the wheel is
deputy TRIMMER WALTZ (28).
Fit. Clean-cut.
Impossibly good-looking.
With a bright gleam
in his eye.
Either brilliant or demented.
Maybe a combination of the two.
The skiff glides
by the houseboat.
Trimmer hears the film.
TRIMMER
Every night with the old movies.
(toasts with a flask)
Someday, Haven -- I’m going
to rescue you from
that watery prison.
And he takes a drink to that.
INT. CRAYCE HOUSEBOAT - DART’S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Dart is fast asleep.
Mouth open, like a child.
Haven watches the
end credits go by.
Thunderstruck.
HAVEN
(quoting dialog)
Straight down the line.
PUSH IN ON Haven’s face.
Thinking.
HAVEN
Ankle bracelet.
EXT. CRAYCE HOUSEBOAT - ROOF DECK - MOMENTS LATER
A roof deck outside
the bedroom doors.
With an old, oak hot tub.
Steam rises from the
bubbling black water.
Haven steps in.
Her perfect, naked body
glistening in the moonlight.
HAVEN
(lowers herself in)
Ahhh --
She angles her waist
at one of the jets of water.
Lowers a bit.
Finds the right spot.
Arches her back,
a cat in heat.
Closes her eyes.
Bites her lip. Shudders.
HAVEN
Sweet mother of Jesus --
IN JETT’S BEDROOM
She climaxes quietly.
Earth-shattering spasms
of pleasure.
IN THE HOT TUB
Haven reaches a
shuddering crescendo.
EXT. NEARBY HOUSEBOAT - ROOF DECK
In the moonlight we can see
a female LITTLE PERSON
looking at the Crayce boat
through binoculars.
Sipping a can of beer.
Meet NOLA BLISS (30),
four-foot-tall elfin star
of stage and screen.
A blue-eyed redhead.
And a nosy, foul-mouthed
party girl.
She lowers the binoculars.
Lights a smoke.
NOLA
What a fucking waste.
