A Lesson In Pity - Screenplay - Scene 1

Shaiera/Shayera, Diana, Kara, Hera/Hathor

[Setting: Coffee shop, in a corner table]
Shaiera: You'd think after what we pass through, we wouldn't have to pass through other shit.
Diana: Tell me about it. I live my life not knowing when the final moment comes, and I bloody well ignore the quiet ticking of the clock of life that follows me, only to have people remind it to me. Even if  you fuckin play around with the letters in my name you get that shit-assed word, AIDS.
Hathor: Actually, you get AID, and I think you do enough AIDin to all men around....
Diana: Fuck off. Just because I ain't a married woman with a Jesus and a cross stuck her ass doesn't mean I can't have fun.
Kara: Maybe you guys are taking this the wrong way.
Shaiera: Enlighten us mortals, Kara.
Kara: Think about it. We're young gorgeous women in a society controlled and doomed by horny men. We're victims of numerous diseases that causes pity in any human being's eyes.
Diana: I'm gonna clap now. Bravo, fucking bravo, Kara. I feel great that Im at the bottom of the foodchain. I'm so deep in patheticness that above me I see puppies with  limps.
Kara: You missed the point. We're the weak spot. Our diseases cause pity, which we don't want, because we don't want anything in exchange.
Hathor: Told you we should have send her to the luny place.
Shaiera: No, she makes sense. Pity is used to GET things. Think about it. What's more pitiful? A kid or a middle-aged man? Duh, the kid - and the recently-uterus-free creature knows it and takes advantage of it. You're more likely giving it money then anythin.
Hathor: Doesn't really explain how it benefits us.
Kara: Look, we have -
Shiera: (interrupts) How bout I demonstarte? That way we can also know if it works. Like a social experiment.  [Stands up from table, picks up bag and walks over coffee contour] Excuse me, can I have an espersso with two sugar?
Coffee guy: Sure. That would be $10.
Shiera: Yes. [rummages through bag, and 'accidently' drops it] I'm so clumsy... [is mid-way kneeling when wig drops] oh..oh...damn..fuck..this happend every since I got this bag of hair...no..no..need to worry... [starts sobbin and then crying] I...I am sorry..it's just...this wig....cancer..and..i...[cries harder]
Coffee guy: [agitaged] ms, ms, it's alright. it's fine. coffees on the house. it's okay. it's alright.

Coffe guy: it's fine, its okay. just take it.
