Hey.
- Hi. - MAN: Hi.
Fucking critics.
Thank you.
Don't let the bastards get you down.
On to the next.
WOMAN: On to the next.
Hi.
I saw your show last night.
Loved it.
Thank you.
Can I look?
Absolutely.
It's beautiful.
I'm Inanna.
Inanna?
So, it's your project they're doing?
INANNA: Oh, no, no, it's just a coincidence.
We started rehearsals today.
What's it about, this Inanna project?
It's based on this myth,
the descent of Inanna, and it's about women,
and how we've had to cut off huge chunks of ourselves
in order to survive and how scary but important it is
to grieve for those parts of ourselves and reclaim them.
Well, all of yourself is a total abuse asshole.
Excuse me.
Give me the keys.
WOMAN: What?
Give me the keys.
Sorry about that.
It's okay, I'm in your way, I should go.
You know how to drive one of these things?
You got it?
INANNA: Yeah.
You can leave that there,
I think she's too much for just the two of us.
She's beautiful.
She has to be.
(KETTLE WHISTLING)
Your tea's getting cold.
It's okay.
DEREK: I'm sorry.
I have a headache.
Should I go?
Only if you promise to come back soon.
Promise.
85.
Sorry I'm late.
It's okay, get ready, go upstairs.
INANNA: Sorry I'm late.
This is beyond late, Inanna.
I had to cover six fucking dances for you.
INANNA: I'll make 'em all up tonight.
I kissed him.
What?
I kissed him.
What, Derek?
I am so in love with this guy.
How can you be in love with this guy?
You don't know this guy.
I do, though, I know his soul,
I can feel it in his work, it's amazing.
WOMAN: You're not in love, you're obsessed.
You just don't believe in love.
You're a fucking idiot, you don't know a goddamn thing.
Would you say fuck you to me just once?
Fuck you.
(INANNA SNICKERING)
Sorry.
Did he recognize you?
No, he's only been here once when I was dancing.
He's probably here tonight.
Go on if you're covering me.

¶ You say to me
¶ Dressed in costume
INANNA: I can't believe he's here.
It's his regular club.
INANNA: Oh god, I'm gonna throw up.
Stop it.
What if he doesn't like dancers?
Then he's a fucking hypocrite like the rest of them.
You gotta dance this last one for me, please, please?
No fucking way.
INANNA: Anja!
Okay.
(SEXY MUSIC)
Should I send her over after her dance?
No, not tonight.
DAVE: Hello.
ANJA: Want a drink?
No, I just came to pick you up.
I'll go get the car.
ANJA: Thanks for the drink.
Let me see it.
You're taking 700 bucks from me tonight
and you still won't come
and have a drink with me outside the club.
I told you, I don't date clients.
You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on.
God, it sounds so stupid, please?
Just a drink.
No.
A thousand bucks.
Thank you.
Come outside with me and let me cum on your tits.
That's all, just let me come on your tits.
Are you afraid?
No.
You can't have sex with me.
I promise.
I'm staying in the hotel four blocks south of here.
I'll wait for you there.

DAVE: You got her okay?
Dave's here, he can walk you upstairs to your apartment.
Oh, it's okay, I'll...
No, no, it's late, he'll walk you upstairs.
DAVE: Shouldn't you be heading back?
You've got exams tomorrow, right?
I'll be fine.
What is it?
You have to take this case.
I would never win it.
We have to help, we can't just drop it,
it's a fucking joke, she's a wreck,
she deserves to get a piece of her life back.
She has to quit dancing, get herself cleaned up,
how do we get her back to her parents?
Cleaned up?
DAVE: Yeah.
Cleaned up?
Fucking cleaned up?
You know what I meant.
No, she needed to get dirty.
If she was allowed to get dirty for real,
then she wouldn't have to become a junkie
and a rape victim to get...
You know what I meant, sweetheart.
Rape and repressions are two sides
of the same fucking coin.
I know, baby, I know.
When you rape a girl,
the problem is not that you're taking away her purity
which gets everyone all up in arms,
it's that you're taking away her wholeness.
Trying to keep her pure, repressing her sexuality
also takes her wholeness.
I don't want my daughter to grow up pure.
DAVE: I know, baby.
ANJA: I want her to grow up whole.
She will.
It's all right, sweetheart.

As it says in the text,
Inanna placed the crown on her head.
She went to the sheepfold, to the shepard.
She leaned back against the apple tree.
When she leaned against the apple tree,
her vulva was wondrous to behold.
Stop, stop.
Inanna, what are you doing?
You're not naked, you're not revealed.
You're acting out some idea of stripping, stop it.
Iris, come.
I'm going to give Iris an image to improvise around,
all you have to do is mirror her, that's all.
You aren't responsible for anything,
but mirroring exactly what she does.
(WOMAN GRUNTING)
She's totally, totally wrong for the part.
You need to fire her.
She's gonna ruin the whole project.
There's no way that she can do the part
the way it needs to be done.
Trust me, Iris, you have to trust me.
She's actually perfect.
Okay.
Hey, hey.
Wow.
That's incredible.
It's beautiful.
It's been on the tip of my mind for so long.
I couldn't find it.
But now you.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
I hate to have to go, but I'm gonna be late for work.
You should go.
I'm sorry, what did I do?
I don't understand.
I'm just so stupid.
I'm just so, so stupid.
God, I'm so stupid, I thought he liked it.
I'm sure he did.
Inanna, you're up.

Our Queen Inanna must leave all that she has achieved
in the male-imagined world to make her way down
to her weeping sister, Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld.
Don't worry, the mask will help in the beginning,
but finally, you'll feel the strength to be without it.
The mask?
Breathe.
(WOMEN CLAPPING)
(WOMEN CHEERING)
Can you all please tell everyone
to bring the mask back to us?
We need to take 'em to Derek's studio
to do more work on them.
Why didn't you tell me
you were doing the masks for the show?
I'm sorry.
I should have.
So often determined, is it in his heart?
I did, I did, I asked him on our very first date,
when the shit hits the fan, will he go to therapy?
DAVE: It's true.
You know, before he even bought me dinner I needed to know
because if you bought me dinner, I'm gonna kiss you,
and if I kiss you, I'm gonna fuck you,
if I fuck you, I'm gonna fall in love with you.
So, don't even buy me dinner if you're not going to therapy.
I thought that would've scared a guy right off.
No, he's not just any old guy, he's a judge, former judge.
Former judge, a very wise former judge.
Yeah, but how many judges meet their future partner
while she was dancing the go-go?
Oh, you'd be surprised.
So, once you're married,
are you gonna still let her dance?
We're in therapy.
Listen, this guy,
you gotta let him go, he sounds completely fucked up.
Yeah, but I can see what's underneath all this shit
and he's got a beautiful hurt soul.
What, that you can nurse back to health with your titties?
No, he's a good man.
He's just a little boy who wants a mama, most of them are.
DAVE: Hey, now.
Well, it's true.
When you try to magically transform him
with the power of your love,
it's a turn on, an aphrodisiac like no other.
You get to see yourself like a goddess,
an earth mother, a healer.
No, we all want to feel like that.
But we go about doing shit like dancing the go-go
or taking abuse from a misogynist,
so that we can feel like her for a moment,
feel like a goddess, but it's not the real thing.
INANNA: Yeah, I know.
ANJA: You know, but what?
But I want him.
I've had enough of you.
Come help me with the dishes.
We've been working on therapy
on what would make cleaning the dishes more interesting.
I just can never get them done
and it's really shit for Dave.
I should get going.
No, no, no, Dave will keep it clean.
No, I should go home.
We need you to come to testify for Lil.
It'd make a real difference.
I'm just scared of what Derek will think.
I don't want people to know I'm a dancer.
Promise to think about it.
And love yourself first,
then whoever he is that can meet with your heart
will come to you, I promise.
Thanks.
Bye, Dave.
Bye-Bye.
INANNA: I love you.
ANJA: I love you.
You're the best, come here.
Give me a kiss.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
DEREK: Yeah?
It's Inanna.
Hello?
DEREK: Yeah?
I just want you to know I quit, I quit my job.
Hey.
You wanna come up?
You should go back to sleep.
I wasn't sleeping, I don't sleep.
INANNA: Never?
Not really, I have really bad insomnia.
Come on, you can keep me company.
Here, catch, okay?
There's a key in there, you can let yourself in.
(KNOCKING)
Will you marry me?
Will you?
Yes.
Do you mind if we just sleep?
Thought you had insomnia?
(SIRENS BLARING)
Hello.
SHELLEY: Hi.
INANNA: Here, I've got the key.
It's okay, she has one.
Who is it?
DEREK: Shelley.
Here.
Keep it.
I should go, I have to get ready for rehearsal.
Hey.
Hi.
Everything's on my desk, okay?
Okay.
I'll walk you out.
Okay.
Hey.
What you said before?
I meant it.
Really?
Yeah.
Right away.
Right away?

What about invitations?
No invitations.
Just you and me.
Oh.
Hey.
Can I come around over here?
Okay, you're doing great.

Okay, that's it, relax your shoulders, that's it.
You're transforming so feel it right here,
draw it up into your heart.

Oh, you're doing great.
You're doing great.
I'll take Ember off of you, okay?
Yeah, he doesn't wanna let you go.
- Yeah. - INANNA: Wild.
That was terrific, terrific work.

It's all good.
(FUNKY MUSIC)
Dance with me.
No.
Come on, dance with me.
I do not, no, absolutely not.
Absolutely not.
- Oh, please. - Nope.
Please.
Fine, I'll dance with your father.
Should be father of the bride, but yours will do.
I'm tired.
Why'd you dance with my father?
What do you mean?
Why'd you dance with that puppet?
Of all the ones you could've chosen,
why'd you choose that one?
I don't understand.
You gonna take that thing off?
I thought you might want to.
¶ If you look inside
¶ A flower
¶ It goes down, down,
I think he has to take the job.
I mean, you could do so much
with the budget that's being offered,
wouldn't have to compromise anything.
Derek, you could use the exact same marketing platform
that was so successful with The Lion King, right?
They have exotic masks from an Arabic tradition
and then you have free reign to use your great talents,
and the whole story then is just anchored in the movie.
Like people don't have to be challenged
to see a experimental theater piece
or a mask performance, they're watching Aladdin,
everyone knows the story.
WOMAN: Yeah, that's true.
The target audience has seen the movie,
their parents have seen it ad nauseam as well,
they don't have to be experience something new,
but they get to think that that's what they're doing.
(INDISTINCT MURMURING)
And we get to see masks, masks, masks,
a piece of work created in a studio.
Hi.
What's wrong?
I don't want you to do the show.
What?
DEREK: You can't do it.
Why not?
It's so indulgent, it's masturbatory.
No, it isn't.
It's shit.
No, it isn't, it's important.
You just like getting fucked by that actor every day.
I'm not get...
We're acting.
I'm not even attracted to him.
I didn't say anything about you being attracted to him,
but you obviously are since you brought it up.
No, that's not true.
I said it because I'm not attracted to him.
Me thinks the lady does protest too much.
No.
You can fool yourself, Inanna, but you can't fool me.
MAN: Treachery persists.
Treachery persists.
Thank you so much for doing this.
It's okay.
I'm sorry you're gonna have to kill time now.
That's okay, I thought maybe we'd even skip rehearsal,
go to a museum or something.
Sorry, got to run, final exams,
I'm ridiculously nervous.
INANNA: You'll be great.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm just tired.
Okay.
- Bye, love. - Bye.
Have great day.
Thank you.
Yes.
These are terrific.
Yes, they are absolutely moving in the right direction.
I want each woman in the chorus
to represent some primal feeling,
some primal core human feeling.
I love this one and this one is astonishing.
Yeah.
That one, I think I really got.
I wanted shock, you know?
Pure shock, that moment when you can't believe
you've been betrayed.
That shock, right before the pain slams in.
Thank you.
I'm glad they're working.
We are so luck to have you,
to have your talent and your sensitivity.
Thank you.

I don't know why you're doing the play
if you think it's shit.
I'm sorry.

I got it.
I've got it.
I said I've got it.
Hello?
Because last time we worked together
it was disastrous and nothing has changed.
He's pompous and a tyrant and I can't work with him.
Don't start, Shelley, I mean it, don't start.
What?
DEREK: Nothing, just Robert.
He has this project he wants me to do and I can't do it.
Why not?
Because he has no faith, he has no belief.
He doesn't think that if you talk about something,
you can make it better.
He's the logical creative partner for me
and he can't actually be my partner.
That's hard.
That's so hard.
You're an extraordinary man.
Other people, they get jealous
and they criticize you and your work
because they know that you're vulnerable to it
and it's important to you.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Sometimes I feel like what you were just saying,
no, wait, wait, I just,
I just wanna make it better.
I just wanna feel like you're with me.
I'm right here.
But I don't really feel like you're that into me.
What are you talking about?
I just now told you I love you.
What do you want?
You want me to bring home flowers?
You want some cliche from a romance novel?
I just don't feel like you're that into me,
you don't look at me or talk to me or touch me.
What do you want?
You wanna to sit across the table holding hands,
staring into each other's eyes?
It's not me.
I just need some more of your presence,
I need to feel like you hear me.
Why does it always have to be about you, Inanna?
I hear you, okay?
INANNA: I just thought that if we could
talk about the relationship a little,
we can make it better.
No, because when you talk about the relationship,
it's not you talking about the relationship,
it's you talking about what a bad boy Derek is.
INANNA: That's not true.
You always twist what I'm saying,
that's not what I'm saying, I don't wanna punish you.
Yes, you do, yes, you do,
this is all a setup to punish Derek,
just like this becomes an ambush.
Like I'm talking about what I feel
and you turn it against me, you make it about you.
INANNA: No!
What do you want me to do?
- I'm a horrible - INANNA: No.
- fucking - INANNA: No, stop.
- Little - INANNA: Stop.
- Boy. - INANNA: Please, don't.

I can't.
Stop, Inanna, stop.
Inanna, stop, you're not going anywhere, sit on the throne.

and she leaves Dumuzi to go to her,
so you just sit on the throne and listen.
Listen until you feel you can join us down here.
What have we each buried away?
What have we banished to the dark?
We must grieve for those murdered parts of ourselves
and reclaim them, so we can be whole.
That is Ereshkigal's gift.
She holds our forgotten pain,
she holds our healing and our wisdom.
We must go to her.
To retrieve and honor our truth.
So, now we will be Ereshkigal's voices
and we will speak Ereshkigal's truth as she rages for us.

I speak for my grandmother, Dorothy,
who was institutionalized by my grandfather
against her will for madness.
(IRIS BREATHING HEAVILY)
She received electric shock time after time
and she wasn't mad, she was angry.
I speak for my sisters in the Congo
who are being systematically raped.
Women from three years old to 75 years old have been raped.
This is being done to destroy women.
I speak for the 23 year old woman from Delhi
who was gang-raped on a bus so brutally
that her abdomen, intestines, and genitals were destroyed.
When they dumped her from the bus to die,
only 5% of her intestines were still left inside of her body
and this,
this is just the rape you all now heard about.
I speak as well for all the other tons of women
being raped in my country.

WOMAN: Her daughter is lost and she cannot hold her.
I was seven.
A two and a half weeks year old just died from rape.
I was carried around unconscious...
All of us seven girls.
WOMAN: Penetrated with fingers...
WOMAN: Are told you're going to hell.
WOMAN: Sexually assaulted.
WOMAN: If you have sex outside of marriage.
WOMAN: Raped
WOMAN: I speak for every girl...
- WOMAN: I speak for... - WOMAN: Every girl.
I speak for all girls that are groomed.
Every molested by her father.
Who was gang-raped.
WOMAN: Whose father left her behind.
By nine men.
With an empty hole.
And destroys every dream and hope that she has.
Every girl in our world
who's having her genitals mutilated.
When I was seven years old,
I was held down
on a floor
and cut with a razor.
I wasn't going to do this,
but I feel like I really want to, I need to.

Where were you?
(INANNA SCREAMS)
(INANNA MOANING)
(SOMBER MELODY)
Don't be rude to her, Inanna.
Are you protecting her over me?
I mean it.
(DIRECTOR CRYING)
I don't know what to do.
When did she call?
An hour ago.
Fuck.
You were right about her.
No.
She'll be back.
There's no way I can get a replacement by opening night.
I should really just cancel the show immediately.
We keep rehearsing, she'll be back, I promise you that.
(KISSY NOISES)
It's over with her.
I promise.
You've broken up with her?
Yeah.
What's the matter?
I feel hurt by everything.
What, are you mad at me now?
You want me to leave?
No, I just wanna talk.
What's wrong?
I have to go now.
You said you've broken up with her.
I have, I just haven't told her yet.
You haven't told her yet?
I feel too guilty for cheating on her.
How can you be cheating on her, I'm your wife.
Please, stay.
I can't.
Get out.
Get out of here and never speak to me.
Oh, fuck you, Inanna.
(INANNA SCREAMING)
I'm his wife.
I hate him, I hate him, I hate them all, I hate them.
I hate men, I hate them.
(INDISTINCT CROSSTALK)
No, I can't have him.
I don't love him.
Fuck you.
You fucking pig.
Stop it, stop it, stop it, what are you doing?
You're fucking crazy, get out.
I don't care.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
I'm the father you needed.
You're a little boy who never had a father you needed,
don't you get it?
(DEREK WHIMPERING)
Yeah, thank you, it's awesome.
WOMAN: You're very welcome.
WOMAN: My mind is my own.
Hey, don't worry, your mom said she'd be here.
She'll be here, I promise you, good for you.
Stage door's around that way?
I'll see you after the show.
Break a leg.
(DRUMMING)
(WATER SPLASHING)
What is this?
Quiet, Inanna.
The ways of the Underworld are perfect
and they may not be questioned.
(WOMAN SCREAMING)
(WOMEN GRUNTING)
(WOMEN CHANTING)
Inanna.
(SNAKE HISSING)
Oh, oh, my insides.
Oh, oh, her insides.
IRIS: Oh, my outsides.
Ow, your outsides.
My heart.
GIRL: Oh, oh, your heart.
Oh, my vulva.
Oh, your vulva.
Who are you moaning, groaning, and sighing with me?
Are you a god?
If you're a god, I will bless you.
If you're a mortal, I will give you a gift.
We do not wish it.
IRIS: What then, speak, tell me, what do you wish?
We wish only for the corpse
that hangs on the hook above you.
