Vin Rouge
In Vin Rouge, Cosmo shares with his girlfriend Rianna his passions and theory of love, life, and existence.
COSMO: Why do you keep bringing that up? I like my life the way it is. It’s plain. Colorless. I can’t take too much color…yellows and blues. The intensity will blast out my eardrums. I like to sit in purple.
Why can’t I watch a snail on a windowsill all day long? Why can’t I count how many dung eaters exist on a ball of manure?
You expect me to shout. To comb my hair. Wash my feet. Dance the tango.
I look at you, and I see a woman. A woman of the soil. Rich in nutrients. Full of lust. You make me chew my tongue with hope. Do you see? I am a lovebird. You’re my keeper. Together we share a kinship, Rianna. Drop me down to the ground, and I will roll around in the dirt seeking knowledge…but without you, I might–(suddenly) Excusez-moi!!! (beat) (to Waiter) Une bouteille de vin rouge s’il te plaît. (beat) (to Rianna) I love you. I don’t love you. I love you.
Like rain that falls on dry sand. You can go wherever you wish. I am here if you want me and like the wind if you don’t.
