Ms Kathleen's

Screen 3 of 14

At first, Oscar and Mimi’s relationship is pure romance. Oscar is a struggling writer who meets Mimi on a bus. Oscar becomes obsessed with finding her again, looking all over the city, until he finally frequents the restaurant where she works as a waitress. The more mature Oscar asks Mimi out on a date and their romance commences. Then boredom begins to creep in, and with it the antidotes to boredom. Mimi enjoys sadomasochistic sex and D&S mind games, and naturally Oscar is fascinated.

It begins one day when Oscar is shaving. Mimi asks him if she can do the honors. Oscar is hesitant but she insists, so he relents and turns the sharp razor over to her. Mimi accidentally cuts him and she literally licks his wound.

Oscar continues the tale and explains that eventually the relationship lost that initial passion. Mimi loves the older Oscar, perhaps he is like a father-figure to her, and she doesn’t want to lose him. Conversely, the selfish Oscar wants out of the relationship. Once the thrill of the sex is gone, he has no further need for Mimi. In order to rid himself of the ever dependent Mimi, Oscar reverts to treating her like dirt. He is cruel to a fault, taking every opportunity to humiliate her and to tear her down.
