Lust
episode one
Darlene
Leo, Richard, see you guys later! I’m heading to the school.
Darlene
(To herself) God, this headache... and the itching. I shouldn't have self-medicated. I need to go home.
Darlene
(To Head Teacher) I’m so sorry, I have to leave. I’m not well.
Darlene
Richard’s car? Why is he home?
Darlene
(Walking into the hallway) What is that smell? It’s not mine... it’s floral. Sweet.
Richard
(Muffled voice from the bedroom) You’re so beautiful...
unknown woman
(Giggling) Stop it, Richie
Richard
Darlene... You're home early.
Richard
Darlene, let’s talk about—
Darlene
Not you. Her. Get out of my house. Now.
Darlene
Why, Richard? 15 years. Why her? In our bed?
Richard
Look at you, Darlene. You’re like a piece of furniture. Every day is chores, food, sleep. It’s boring.
Darlene
I build our life! I fold your clothes while you sleep!
Richard
She makes me feel alive. You’re always too tired. I have needs. Sex with you feels like I’m forcing you. I wanted excitement.
[4 Hours Later - Darlene is in bed]
[Sound of Thumping from Leo’s Room]
Sarah
(Moaning) Don’t stop... right there! Oh my God, fuck me!
Darlene
(Breathing heavily) Leo? And Sarah?
(Thinking) I haven't felt this in years... the sound... it’s so loud.
Darlene
[Darlene reaches underpants (Thinking) I’m so wet... I need this. I need to feel something that isn't pain.
[The thumping on the wall increases]
Darlene
(Gasping) Yes... right there...
[A moment of silence, then Darlene storms into the hallway]
Darlene
(Yelling) SHUT UP! I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING! YOU HAVE NO RESPECT!
Sarah
(Clutching a sheet, disheveled) I... we’re sorry.
Darlene
Get dressed. Now. Both of you.
Leo
WTF happened, Mom? Why are you screaming?
Darlene
Your father is a cheat. He brought a woman into my bed today. We are done. We are getting a divorce.
Leo
(Stunned) He did what?
Darlene
(Sobbing) On our bed, Leo. After everything I did for this family.
Sarah
(Looking down, adjusting her skirt) ...
Darlene
(Thinking) Look at them. Sweaty, messy... alive. While I’m just the woman who wipes the dust. Never again.
