[SCENE 26. Int. LUCY’s bedroom. Night.]
Open on shot of bedroom wall opposite the bed. There is a large mirror hanging on the wall. In the mirror we can see the reflection of LUCY and JOHN making wild, passionate love in the bed. Camera turns down and pans across bedroom floor, past assorted clothes discarded hastily in the fenzy of mutual lust. LUCY’s cries of climax drown out JOHN’s heaving grunts. Camera closes in on bed as JOHN rolls over. Both are glistening with sweat and breathless.
LUCY: That… that was… fantastic!
JOHN: Yeah… great. You were great.
LUCY: Do you know what I want now?
JOHN: What?
LUCY opens the top drawer of her bedside table and produces two large carrots.
LUCY: Want one?
JOHN: Oh, you bet.
LUCY hands one carrot to JOHN who begins to munch it manfully. LUCY nibbles her carrot, savouring the little bites.
LUCY: Mmmmm… I just have to have a carrot after sex.
JOHN: Yeah. Nothing beats a post-coital munch.
LUCY: So, am I going to see you again?
JOHN: Well, now that Sheila and I have split up… I reckon so.
LUCY: Why did you two split up anyway?
JOHN stops eating his carrot and looks away, trying to hide his shame.
JOHN: She… she was a celery-freak!!!

You mean my carrot fetish isn’t normal?? 🙂
Wasn’t that shown at Cannes recently?
The underlying story shows the entirely Trotskyist view of the role of the media the EU has: the media exists to further the objectives of the (super) state and will not be allowed to show things which the state does not approve of, in this case smoking.
The sad thing is, Hollywood has the technology to provide cigarette-free films to the EU and anywhere else that thinks smoking is the root of all evil. Technology has caught up with Arthur Clarke again (“The Ghost from the Grand Banks”, 1990) and all that’s lacking is the film producers’ will to use it.
