Kitten Waltz

from Slutlips by Catherine Corelli

/

about

“Kitten Waltz” was intendedly made an absurd grotesque scene. It’s eerie, yet comical, horrifying in a way and laughable. The waltz is anything but uplifting, the kids seem to be very cheerful, however. And of course, the dialogues of the characters put in a setting like this make it all the more unsettling and weird. But then again, the entire story is full of grotesque and surreal!

lyrics

SC.11 EXT. Kids and their caretakers play on a playground. Day

There's a loop of the waltz playing in the background. The loop
Is weird and eerie

Lily: Daddy, I wanna dance!
Daddy: Darling, sweetheart... You can't be doing that
Lily: But why, Daddy?
Daddy: This dance requires both legs, darling
Lily: [sobbing] But who cares?
Daddy: Well... People will be watching
Lily: Tell them it's ok. They have to understand it's ok!
Daddy: [sighs] I can't risk my reputation...
Lily: Daddy, you're a moron!

The waltz starts playing. The playground ambiance gradually fades into the music. Then it fades in back again when the track is over. A southerner who played the waltz walks up to Daddy

SC.11.1

Morgan: Hey! Howdy, man. I'm Morgan
Daddy: Howdy to you, Morgan. Nice to meet you. I'm Dan
Morgan: Nice, Dan. May I call you Danny? Like the Shining Danny...
Daddy: What's the Shining?
Morgan: Ah... Forget it. You don't have it anyway. [after a pause] I wanna ask you something, man
Daddy: Talk to me
Morgan: I was playing this waltz for years. And kids were dancing... Ha! My lil Jack and Jill danced to it. Kids got dizzy, that's how they danced!
Daddy: Those two blondes?
Morgan: Yeah. Sweet kids. I love them, man! [pauses] Your lil girl didn't dance. Why? All kids had fun
Daddy: Well...
Morgan: Tell me
Daddy: There's a problem. She thinks she has one leg
Morgan: Jesus Christ! How come?
Daddy: I don't know, man. I keep saying she's wrong, but she wouldn't listen
Morgan: Ah! This is a very strange world, Danny. I thought you might have that Shining thing. But you haven't. Your girl thinks she has one leg. But she has both. Strange world, man. Very strange
