Sex, Lies, and Videotape
written by Steven Soderbergh
Cynthia: He just asked me questions.
Ann: What kinds of questions?
Cynthia: Questions about sex.
Ann: Well, like, what did he ask, exactly?
Cynthia: Well, like, I don't want to tell you, exactly.
Ann: Oh, so you'll let a total stranger record your sexual life on tape, but you won't tell your own sister?
Cynthia: Apparently.
Ann: Did he ask you to take your clothes off?
Cynthia: Did he ask me to take my clothes off? No, he didn't.
Ann: Did you take your clothes off?
Cynthia: Yes, I did.
Ann: Cynthia!
Cynthia: What?
Ann: Why did you do that?
Cynthia: Because I wanted to.
Ann: But why did you want to?
Cynthia: I wanted him to see me.
Ann: Cynthia, who knows where that tape may end up. He could be... bouncing it off some satellite, or something, and some horny old men in South America or something could be watching it!
Cynthia: He wouldn't do that.
Ann: You don't know that for sure.
Cynthia: Well, it's too late now, isn't it?
Ann: Did he touch you?
Cynthia: No.
Ann: Did you touch him?
Cynthia: No.
Ann: Did anybody touch anybody?
Cynthia: Well... yes.
Ann: Don't tell me... don't tell me... don't tell me. You didn't!
Cynthia: I did.
Ann: You didn't!
Cynthia: I did.
Ann: You didn't!
Cynthia: I did!
Ann: You are in trouble!
Cynthia: Listen to you, you sound like mom. What are you talking about?
Ann: I mean, I couldn't do it in front of John, even.
Cynthia: You couldn't do it, period.
Ann: You know what I mean, you don't even know him!
Cynthia: I feel like I do.
Ann: But that doesn't mean you do. You can't possibly trust him, he's... perverted.
Cynthia: He's harmless. He just sits around and looks at these tapes. What's wrong with that?
Ann: So he's got this whole catalogue of women touching themselves. That doesn't make you feel weird?
Cynthia: No. I don't think they all did what I did.
Ann: You are in serious trouble!
Cynthia: Ann, I don't know why this freaks you out so much. You didn't do it, I did. And if it doesn't bother me, why should it bother you?
Ann: I don't want to discuss it.
Cynthia: Then why do you keep asking about it?
