~interstitial three. love~

“a family-friendly puppet re-imagining of a love scene between jeff stryker & mike henson”

- jeff is eating cereal in nothing but his briefs.

- he gets up to answer the door. it is mike.

- mike is dusting rain off of his jacket. (mike is all wet!)

- jeff, naturally, inquires about what has happened to his buddy mike.

- mike explains with a lot of arm motions and big facial expressions.

- jeff seems slightly bemused, but supportive.

- jeff takes mike by the arm and leads him to the fireplace.

- mike rubs his hands together over the flames. (mike is chilly.)

- jeff suggests mike take off his jacket...because it is all wet.

- mike is wearing an italian wife beater under the jacket. (it is slightly damp.)

- jeff takes mike’s jacket and drops it offscreen.

- jeff leaves the room.

- mike looks down curiously at his damp shirt, shrugs, smirks, takes off the shirt, arching his back.

- jeff is at the edge of the kitchen holding a small pan.

- jeff forks at the contents of the pan, which seem sufficiently warmed.

- the camera slides down mike’s smooth, sinewy, glistening torso.

- mike makes a demur turn and faces away from jeff as he strips down to his briefs.

- mike’s briefs are damp. his cheeky smile shows through the wet fabric.

- jeff does a double-take of mike’s cheeky smile.

- mike bends over to lay his jeans down, further accentuating his cheeky smile.

- jeff has a coffee cup now. (ah! he heats his coffee in a pan. jeff is a real dude.)

- jeff takes the cup of warmth and kindness into the living room and gives it to mike.

- mike is standing in front of the fireplace in his damp bvd’s.

- jeff sits on the sofa in his usual spot, legs splayed. (he is always warm, hot even.)

- mike says something about jeff’s pecs, a compliment, naturally.

- automatically, jeff flexes his pecs, and his biceps, too.

- mike starts flexing his own slightly smaller muscles and looks down at himself.

- jeff and mike flex their muscles for their own enjoyment awhile.

- mike abandons his post and plops on the sofa opposite jeff.

- mike puts his cup down, faces jeff, and they talk like gentlemen.

- jeffs ends the brief, serious chat with a quick smile.

- mike seems appreciative.

- jeff flexes his pecs and does his james dean eyes.

- (occasionally, lightning strikes out the window behind mike’s head.)

- mike looks to jeff’s lap and sees the monster in jeff’s briefs.

- the screen fills with two images, one after the other:

- first, briefs with a hand accentuating the outline of a very large little monster,

- second, briefs with the outline of a less large little monster, nothing special.

- mike asks what seems to be “a stupid question” then apologizes for it.

- jeff seems to say “there are no stupid questions,” and pulls his briefs down.

- jeff’s large, glossy monster flops out. he grabs it, as if it is wild and needs to be tamed.

- jeff pets his monster and talks about what he’s doing, as if it needs to be explained.

- mike, for one, seems to appreciate the explanation.

- mike asks another “stupid question,” and jeff removes his briefs the rest of the way.

- mike follows suit and removes his briefs.

- (mike’s little monster is average, fine, nothing special – though nobody is really looking at it.)

- mike tosses his underwear offscreen (into the fire?) and leans down into jeff’s lap.

- what mike lacks in little monster size he makes up for in monster-pleasuring abilities.

- jeff jabs his hips upward – cruelly, some might say – as mike’s head comes down.

- mike’s eyes occasionally clench, but he keeps at the job he’s been paid to do.

- mike grabs jeff’s egg basket, as an anchor and as a depth gauge.

- mike knows that if he massages the eggs, he won’t have to work so hard to make them boil.

- jeff has his head back on the sofa, his eyes closed. he blows out a cool breath.

- jeff puts a hand on mike’s shoulder blades and encourages him.

- the camera backs away and we see that mike’s underwear weren’t burned afterall.

- (mike’s briefs and jeff’s lie around their feet on the stained tan carpet.)

- mike rolls off of the sofa and positions himself on his knees between jeff’s knees.

- this position is working for jeff. he tosses his head back and says “ooh” and “yes.”

- jeff reaches out to touch mike’s shoulders. (jeff stryker is touchy-feely. i did not know that.)

- we see mike’s hotdog buns. his squatting position accentuates them.

- jeff has taken control of the situation, holding mike in place, working his hips.

- sometimes mike’s head is forced back. (there’s only so much one can take.)

- (jeff seems to be off in his head, in a different location, in a different scene.)

- jeff’s head is lolling about, his hips hiked up off of the sofa.

- mike stands without detaching from jeff’s monster, yanking at his own little monster briefly.

- there are now mike’s eggs at the top of the screen and jeff’s monster center stage.

- (as a bonus, jeff’s hershey kisses dot the top left and top right of the screen.)

- mike aims his trophy downward, blocking out jeff’s monster for a brief moment.

- we get a few repeated images:

- jeff blowing circles,

- mike eating a sausage.

- next, jeff pushes mike up and they both stand. (lightning flashes in the window.)

- jeff let’s mike sit for a while. “let me do some of the work,” he seems to be saying.

- jeff stands in front of mike’s face.

- mike takes jeff’s monster in his mouth then reaches around and holds one of jeff’s hotdog buns.

- mike tongues jeff like a blind man trying to figure out the flavor of a lollipop.

- jeff pulls mike all the way to the lollipop stick by the bottom of his skull.

- mike looks like he’s being punished.

- adding insult to injury, jeff slaps mike across the face with his monster.

- next, jeff stands back and does a really bizarre dance. he looks to be imitating a snake.

- mike loves the dance. mike loves the snake.

- mike has a happy little monster, which he plays with briskly.

- the screen fills with jeff’s face. he seems to have an important announcement.

- jeff chews his lips and does his james dean eyes as he speaks.

- mike gets it. he nods his head. he is ready for more of jeff’s monster.

- jeff moves in and gives it to mike. mike seems to have a renewed energy.

- jeff again takes his monster out of mike’s mouth and again slaps his face with it.

- mike is petting his larger than average little monster (a grower not a shower).

- suddenly, we’re up close at jeff’s face. he seems to be in a different world again.

- jeff is popping his cork. we see a full on closeup of that.

- then we see a repeat of the scene farther back, so we can see jeff pop his cork onto mike.

- (mike is hiding his little monster. this is likely a filler shot, filmed at another time.)

- we get a third shot of the cork-popping scene (after all, that is the point).

- the camera glides up jeff’s body, belly to chest, shoulders to face.

- the last spasms work their way out through jeff’s face.

- bonus shot: mike pops his cork, nothing special, as the money shot has already been completed.

- but jeff and mike both still have happy monsters – because they are studs.

- they play with their monsters. mike kisses jeff’s egg basket. (“thank you. thank you.”)

- jeff is inspired. he puts one foot on the sofa.

- jeff bends over and mike pretends he is a slug exploring where the sun doesn’t shine.

- this activity is working for jeff. he encourages mike with words of praise.

- eventually, mike tires of the task and makes a comment over jeff’s backside.

- jeff and mike rearrange themselves. jeff sitting, mike standing in front of him.

- (lightning flashes. the scene evokes a comfortable hominess.)

- jeff pets his monster while mike climbs onto the sofa over it.

- down mike goes to let jeff’s monster hide where the sun doesn’t shine.

- jeff stuffs his mean monster into mike’s tunnel of love.

- jeff’s eyes are closed. he has his head tossed back and seems to be saying “shoe.”

- mike has his head turned upward. he has his eyes closed and he seems to be saying “shoe.”

- mike is riding jeff’s monster like it is a mechanical bull. his head is bouncing up and down.

- jeff is pressed into the sofa. he seems to be saying “who? who?”

- mike seems to be saying “who? who?” too.

- jeff holds mike at the just-right position by the hips.

- mike maintains that position while jeff bounces on the sofa springs.

- jeff pushes mike out of his lap. they both stand. (lightning strikes.)

- jeff bends mike over at the waist and sends his monster on a scavenger hunt.

- jeff starts doing his snake dance again, only now he is attached to mike.

- mike seems to be saying “ow! ow!”

- jeff has disappeared into the world in his head again, his eyes rolled back, his head tossing about.

- we see another mélange of already seen closeup shots. (corks are popping offscreen.)

- jeff practices his S shape as he leans against mike’s backside. (S stands for snake, you know.)

- mike seems to be braying like a donkey, a donkey with perfectly feathered hair.

- mike’s eyeballs look like they might pop out of his head. then he squints. (did he lose a contact?)

- jeff is pretending mike is a mountain. jeff climbs the mountain, losing his grip now and again.

- mike seems to wake up from a deep sleep. “what’s all the commotion?” he seems to be asking.

- “the commotion is the C train, coming down the track, into the tunnel, don’t look back.”

- (jeff could say that, but he probably doesn’t because he’s too much of a dude.)

- jeff whispers appreciative things into mike’s ear then pretends it’s ginger candy and nibbles.

- mike must be ticklish. he seems to be suppressing a laugh.

- jeff stands upright and gives us one last look at his profile then pops his cork.

- jeff’s champagne dreams splash all over mike’s backside.

- (lightning flashes.) jeff stands mike up and positions himself behind mike.

- mike plays with his little monster until he pops his cork then does jeff’s snake dance.

- jeff shows his appreciation by licking mike’s ginger candy and rubbing mike’s hershey kisses.

- lightning strikes, capturing the camera’s attention. it moves away from the continuing action.

- the camera focuses on the sheer curtains, the smoky white lights behind the stage window.

- flash of lightning. and then darkness.
