"I didn't expect to see you here."
"I could say the same thing."
"Are you trying to get picked up?"
Her stare was cold, emotionless. "Yes. I just want to get fucked."
He said nothing.
"What's the matter? Didn't expect 'fuck' to be in my vocabulary?"
He shrugged. "So. You want to get fucked or get fucked up?"
"Look, I like you but don't, you know...Jesus, I don't want your pitiful psychoanalysis." She sipped her drink.
He stared at the bar. "Let's go then." He looked at her, into her weary eyes.
"What? Look, don't try to 'save me', o.k? That's really very noble but like I said I'm here to get fucked. Laid. Screwed. Banged. Hard. That's all."
"Fuck 'noble', Carol. I meant let's go. You want fucked and I want to fuck you. Lay you. Screw you. Bang you. Fuck, you look like you'd like to be slapped around a bit. Forced, you know?"
She said nothing.
"What, you never thought I could have such thoughts?"
He laid a 5-dollar bill on the bar for his drink. "She runnin' a tab?"
The bartender nodded. Scott flashed a $10 in the air. "This take care of her?" The bartender nodded again. Carol watched Scott put the bill on the bar then looked at him as he took her by the arm and pulled her from the barstool.
He fairly pushed her out of the bar onto the sidewalk. He looked at her, her expression void. He thought maybe he could break her. He slammed her up against the wall of a storefront.
"Where am I going to do you?" His tone was hard, nasty.
She looked up at him, tears brimming around her vacant eyes. "I've got a room at the Plaza Inn."
He was hoping her response would have been something on the order of, "Please...I just want to go home." But she held out her desire for debasement stoically.
