INT. A PLAIN, SIMPLE ROOM
Close-up on HER face. She’s calm, confident, and beautiful. She's talking to HIM, who we see in alternating close-ups is very tense and nervous, even shaking.
HER (passionate): I just don’t get why you’d say that astrology is fake when you're clearly a classic Capricorn.
HIM (voice quivering, stuttering): You’re absolutely right. I was being close-minded. I’m... really learning a lot right now.
HER (firm, still calm): Because when you understand moon signs, and how Venus influences communication—especially in retrograde—you realize how nuanced it all is.
HIM (still quivering and stuttering): Yeah. So true. Deep stuff. You’re making a lot of sense.
HER: I mean, we're in Mercury retrograde. Capricorn sun, Scorpio moon, Mars in Virgo. This is no time for emotional repression, but your sign just hates vulnerability.
CAMERA PANS DOWN:
We see that she's been squeezing his balls this whole time.
HIM (strained whisper): Can you let me go now?
HER (brightly): Umm… not yet. I love that you're learning. We're making such progress.
She squeezes his testicles little tighter.
HIM (clearly in agony): Oh God...
HER (not acknowledging his pain at all): As a Libra, I need balance. Justice. A full arc to the conversation. And you Capricorns? You just bulldoze with your skepticism—but it’s all a defense mechanism. Wouldn't you agree?
HIM (his voice a high-pitched pained squeak): Yes, yes.
HER (genuinely smiling): Good. That’s growth. You're really opening up. Probably your moon sign responding to direct pressure.
She gives his balls a slight twist.
END on her calm face as he tries to nod and smile through the pain.
