[knocking]
[door opens]
[sparkling] Hey there!
There’s my gorgeous treasure!
[kisses]
[playful] He’s sooooooooo beautiful.
[kisses]
My marvelous prize.
[kisses]
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
[kisses]
[warmly] My beautiful, beautiful man!
[playful] My Apollo!
[giggles]
[kisses]
[contented sigh]
My precious treasure.
[kisses]
Okay, okay.
[playful] We can’t just stand here and kiss all day.
[pause]
Well, for one thing . . . I don’t get to look at you when I’m kissing you!
[romantic] And you know . . . how much I love to look at you.
[joyful laugh]
Plus, in case you haven’t noticed . . . I brought you something.
Two somethings, actually!
[pause]
[delighted] Yes, that’s right!
[proud of herself] I’m giving you gifts today.
[pause]
Well, I admit that it’s a struggle.
[amused] My grandfather would scorch me if he knew.
[mocking] He’d say: “Dragons do not give, you rebellious child. They take!”
[tender] But I have human blood, too.
And I need so badly . . . to show you how I feel.
And so . . . these are for you!
[pause]
[worried] Oops! No!
[apologetic] Here, you take this one.
[pause]
The other one is . . . heavy.
Not, like, “bowling ball” heavy.
Like, “let the dragonblooded woman carry it,” heavy.
[pause]
Well, if you want to know what’s inside them . . . you’d better let me come in!
[door closing]
Here . . . over here on the couch.
Do you mind moving the table aside?
I’ll put this here on the floor.
I don’t want to damage your table.
[pause]
There we go.
[pause]
Yeah, having dragon blood does have advantages.
My mother can lift her car over her head!
[laughing] I’m not quite that strong.
But still.
[pause]
Now, before we do this . . . I need a minute.
Is that okay?
[pause]
[playful] You know what for!
Just one minute.
[pause]
[vulnerable] Thanks.
Time me, okay?
On your phone.
I mean it.
Time me.
Don’t let me go more than a minute, okay?
[pause]
[concerned] I know you feel bad about rousing me.
When we do this.
Don’t.
Okay?
Don’t feel bad.
It’s totally fine.
And I need it.
I need you to rouse me after exactly one minute.
Do you promise?
[pause]
Okay.
Start the timer.
[deep breath in and out]
Thank you.
Thank you . . . so much.
I so love to do this.
To stare at you.
[pause]
At my beautiful man.
[pause]
At my precious treasure.
[pause]
[contented sigh]
[wistful] So magnificent.
[slowly] So special to me.
[pause]
[more slowly] Soooooooo beautiful.
[more slowly] Eeeeeeeeevery . . . tiny detail . . . of you.
[pause]
[whispering] So . . .
[pause]
[whispering] . . . special . . .
[pause]
[whispering] . . . and precious . . .
[pause]
[whispering] . . . and beautiful . . .
[pause]
[whispering] . . . and mine.
[pause]
[whispering] Mine.
[pause]
[whispering] Mine.
[pause]
[suddenly startled] What?
Oh!
Oh, right. Yes.
[clears her throat to compose herself]
[cheerful] Hello there!
Thanks for letting me do that.
[sincere] And for rousing me.
Did I . . .
[awkward] Did I say anything . . . inappropriate?
[pause]
[shy] Anything . . . too . . . dragonish?
[pause]
[vulnerable] You’re sure?
[pause]
[relieved] Good.
[sigh]
You’ve made me so happy.
I really mean it.
It’s . . . well . . .
It’s really hard.
For us.
For dragonbloods.
To be happy.
Because it’s so hard for us . . . to love.
To love a person.
To love a person . . . as a person.
[awkward] I’ll admit . . . I’ve struggled.
And ever since you . . .
[sigh]
Ever since you put this beautiful ring on my finger.
[pause]
I’ve just been feeling it more and more.
How much I’ve struggled.
And how badly I’ve done.
[pause]
[gently] No.
No, my beautiful man.
[sweetly] My precious treasure.
Don’t deny it.
[long pause]
[appreciative] You always know just what to say to me.
But this time . . .
This time I have to insist.
[firm] I have not loved you the way I should.
[pause]
[addressing him by a pet name] My treasure.
My treasure.
Just wait, okay?
Let me say this.
[pause]
Look at this ring.
Just look at it.
I came to you . . . and told you about my dragon blood.
About how important . . . treasures . . . are to us.
Told you that . . . I wanted you to be my special treasure.
The treasure I hold in my heart.
But that there was a big danger.
That I would treat you like a thing.
Not a person.
And that I would need your help.
I was telling you . . . that being with me . . . would be hard for you.
Because of my dragon blood.
And what did you do?
You went out . . .
. . . and found some master jeweler . . .
. . . to make me a dragon-shaped engagement ring.
To show me that you love me.
For who I am.
It’s more beautiful than anything in my hoard.
[pause]
No, it is!
I’m not joking!
[happy] Seriously, which jeweler did this?
I need to know!
Was it Shevitz and Henderson?
[fascinated] It looks like their work.
[pause]
[interested] Oh, I see.
Yes, yes, I see that now.
Look at the shape of the jaws.
How the dragon’s teeth . . . hold the diamond just so?
Only she would have done that . . . in just that way.
I’ll have to write her a thank-you note.
It’s a masterpiece.
[pause]
Do you know, last night . . . I stared at this ring for ten hours straight.
Not just because it’s beautiful.
But because you’re beautiful.
Because your soul is beautiful.
[pause]
And how do I repay you . . . for this kind of love?
For this kind of acceptance?
I get upset if you go a day without seeing me.
I keep track how long you go without texting me.
And if I see you talking to another woman?
Even, like, a barista taking your order?
I get furious.
And I don’t always control it.
[pause]
[firm] No, that’s just not true.
Remember that time . . . I saw you with that coworker?
You were just talking!
About work!
And I blew up at you!
Right in front of her!
I humiliated you.
And myself.
[pained] I hurt my precious treasure.
I hurt the special treasure . . . that lives in my heart.
Because . . . I wanted to own you.
Control you.
[pause]
And then there’s the argument . . . about the honeymoon.
The argument we’re still having.
We’re going to have two whole weeks . . . to celebrate our love.
Alone together.
And I’ve turned it into a nightmare.
I just want to be with you.
Who cares where we go?
Who cares what we do?
As long as we’re together!
But . . . I had to be in control.
[pause]
[firm] I made you a promise.
I promised you . . . I would never do that.
That I would never do any of these things.
And yet . . . I have.
[long pause]
[deeply moved] Thank you.
Thank you.
My treasure.
You are my treasure.
You do live in my heart.
Where I cherish you . . . every day.
And where I’m trying . . . every day . . . to love you better.
[one pure, perfect kiss]
[releasing all the tension] Which brings us to these presents!
[laughter]
[happy] Yes!
I’ve been doing some soul-searching.
As you can tell, I guess!
And . . . I made up my mind to do this.
And so I’m doing it.
[delighted] Open the smaller one first.
[pause]
Yes!
Yes, it is!
It’s real dragon wine.
My grandfather has a secret vineyard somewhere.
[pause]
Well, I can tell you . . . but you can’t tell anyone.
[pause]
After a dragon egg is hatched . . . they save the shell.
And bury it.
And the grapes that grow out of that soil . . .
[romantic] Carry a little of our magic.
[pause]
Grandfather would roast me . . . if he knew I told you.
[laughter]
But I don’t want to keep any secrets from you.
I want to give you everything.
I want to give you everything I have.
At this point . . . I think my lair might be the only thing left.
The only thing I still haven’t shared.
I’m redoing it, you know.
Big changes!
[shy] So . . . so you can live there with me.
[vulnerable] I still can hardly believe . . . you’re really willing to move in.
I mean . . . it’s a cave.
But I promise!
I’m fixing it all up for you!
You’ll be so happy there!
I promise!
[pause]
Oh, I’m keeping that a surprise.
For the wedding night.
[pause]
Let’s just say . . . I hope you weren’t too interested in seeing my solid gold statue of Aphrodite. [“AFF-row-dye-tee”]
[pause]
[delighted] You’ll see!
It’ll be worth the wait.
I promise.
[pause]
I wish the sacred laws would let me take you there right now.
[pause]
[romantic] I can’t wait to marry you.
And be your wife.
When you’re my mate . . . I can take you there.
[naughty] And . . . take you . . . there!
[big, joyous laugh]
[romantic] Well.
You beautiful treasure of a man.
You’ve got a very strong bottle of wine there.
Looks like you need something to drink it out of.
[pause]
[laughing] No, no, no!
Don’t go to the kitchen!
[joyful] Open your other present!
[pause]
[quiet but intensely joyful] Yes.
Yes it is.
[pause]
[very quiet and gentle, but firm] Yes you can.
You can accept it.
You must accept it.
You will accept it.
[pause]
Here, let me lift it out of the box.
[pause]
Scoot over.
I’ll put it between us . . . on the couch.
[pause]
This chalice . . . is thousands of years old.
Made in the ancient days of the world.
When treasures . . . were made for great kings.
To honor the gods.
And to display the splendor of royal glory.
Isn’t it beautiful?
[romantic] It’s almost as beautiful as you are.
See the figure of Apollo?
Here on this side?
I told you.
You look just like him!
Only even more handsome.
[sparkling] I’m so, so happy to give this to you.
[pause]
Sweetheart . . . my treasure.
I need to do this.
For almost all my life . . . this chalice was my special treasure.
I used to gaze at it all night long.
And daydream about it . . . all day.
And then I fell for you.
Completely.
Utterly.
And this chalice . . . wasn’t my special treasure any more.
I had another treasure in my heart.
But . . . I’ve started to treat that treasure . . .
Like I had treated this chalice.
Like my grandfather treated my grandma.
Like he was a thing.
A thing that I own.
[pause]
And I will never.
I will never.
I will never let myself . . . end up like my grandfather.
So . . . I need to do this.
[pause]
I’m giving you . . . the treasure . . . that I built my whole life around.
You know what that means to me.
You know what treasure means to me.
It’s . . . it’s all there is.
[pause]
I need you to own this.
I need you to possess it.
Because if you own this thing . . .
Then you’re not a thing.
If you own the treasure . . . that owned my heart for all those years . . .
Then my heart can’t own you.
[pause]
You’re my treasure.
You’re my precious treasure.
And you’re mine.
All mine.
But as a person.
A person who always needs to be respected.
A person who chooses to be mine.
And . . . I’m as much yours as you are mine.
Because I’m giving myself to you.
Every bit as much as you give yourself to me.
[delighted] I can’t do that with a chalice!
[pause]
So . . . I need this to be clear.
This chalice . . . is yours.
Not mine.
And I have no right to use it.
I have no right even to see it.
I want you to keep it.
Here.
Your chalice . . . at your place.
Somewhere hidden.
Somewhere I can’t see it.
Unless you choose to allow me.
And . . . don’t let me see it very often.
Make sure that boundary is clear.
It will teach me to respect you.
It will remind me that you aren’t a thing.
Like this chalice.
Not a thing to be owned.
A person to be loved.
That’s what I want you to be to me.
That’s what I need you to be to me.
[pause]
Not to mention . . . keep it hidden so nobody else knows it’s here.
It’s . . . well!
It’s worth more than this whole building!
And everything else in it!
[romantic] Except . . . you.
[kissing]
[whispering] Open the wine, my treasure.
[pause]
That’s right.
I’ve never used the chalice.
It was . . . too special to me.
So . . . this will be the first time.
The first time anyone has poured anything in it.
[romantic] So open the wine.
Pour it into your chalice.
[romantic] My treasure.
I want you to take the first drink.
Without asking me.
Your wine.
From your chalice.
And then . . . I’ll ask you if I can have some.
And it will be your decision.
Because it’s yours.
Not mine.
[pause]
[giggles]
Okay, okay.
That’s fair!
I’ll help you lift it.
If you’re only lifting it for a moment . . . to take a drink . . . I think you should be okay.
But I’ll spot you.
[pause]
Are you sure?
[pause]
Okay.
I . . . I like that, actually.
We’ll pour it together.
Ready?
[pause]
Wow.
Just smell that.
It smells like . . .
Like the shadows at dawn . . . in the hidden places . . . of the high mountains.
[pause]
And . . . here you are.
Dragon wine . . . in a royal chalice.
For the king of all treasures.
[pause]
How is it?
[pause]
Wow!
It sounds delicious!
[pause]
[shy] May I . . .
[vulnerable] May I please have . . . some of your wine?
From your chalice?
[romantic] My king of all treasures?
[pause]
Thank you!
[pause]
Oooooooooooooooooooh wow.
That’s amazing.
That’s . . .
That’s just . . .
Amazing.
I . . . I don’t have words.
[caught off guard] Oh! Here. Yes.
I’ll help you again.
[pause]
May I have a second drink as well?
[pause]
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[pause]
Darling?
Beautiful, beautiful man?
Treasure of my heart?
[vulnerable] May I hoard you?
[pause]
Here, I’ll just put this . . . yes.
Now then.
Come here, my treasure.
Come to my arms . . . to rest . . . and be mine.
[pause]
That’s it.
Just rest in my arms.
Let me hoard you.
My treasure.
[pause]
I’ll make you an offer.
It’s a pretty good deal for you.
At least I think it is.
We can go anywhere you want on our honeymoon.
Do anything you want.
For three weeks.
Not two.
You know I have the money.
I want you to make all the decisions.
You be in charge of it.
Just decide . . . and tell me what we’re doing.
And I’ll love it.
No matter what.
We do whatever you want the whole time.
And in return . . .
. . . you have to pick two days . . .
. . . during the honeymoon . . .
. . . any two days you want . . .
. . . when I get to hoard you . . .
. . . and stare at you . . .
. . . my beautiful treasure . . .
. . . for 48 hours straight.
Does that sound good?
[pause]
Yes, I thought you’d like that.
You win both ways!
[kissing]
But so do I!
[kissing]
[gently] Easy, there.
I’m not done hoarding you!
[pause]
My treasure.
My Apollo.
My beautiful man.
Precious treasure.
Special treasure in my heart.
[pause]
I will always love you.
I will always take care of you.
I will always protect you.
I will never let anything hurt you.
And I will never.
I will never hurt you.
By treating you like a thing.
You will always be my man.
You will always be my love.
You will always be my treasure.
Mine.
All mine.
And I am yours.
All yours.
And nothing else matters to me.
Just that I have you.
And you have me.
You are my only treasure.
