A week ago I mentioned that a
sex scene between Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana might end up among Avatar's extra features once it's released on DVD.
Now that the
movie was nominated by WGA for original screenplay award (now that's funny), FOX put a
digital copy of James Cameron's original screenplay for download on their site.
On pages 89-91 screenplay includes a description of a sex scene between Neytiri (
Zoe Saldana) and Jake (Sam Worthington) that was missing in the final cut of the movie to keep the PG-13 rating.
Here's the transcript of the sex scene
He puts his face close to hers. She rubs her cheek against his. He kisses her on the mouth. They explore each other. Then she pulls back, eyes sparkling.
NEYTIRI
Kissing is very good. But we have something better.
She pulls him down until they are kneeling, facing each other on the faintly glowing moss.
Neytiri takes the end of her queue and raises it. Jake does the same, with trembling anticipation. The tendrils at the ends move with a life of their own, straining to be joined.
MACRO SHOT—The tendrils INTERTWINE with gentle undulations.
JAKE rocks with the direct contact between his nervous system and hers. The ultimate intimacy.
They come together into a kiss and sink down on the bed of moss, and ripples of light spread out around them. THE WILLOWS sway, without wind, and the night is alive with pulsing energy as we DISSOLVE TO --
LATER. She is collapsed across his chest. Spent. He strokes her face tenderly.
JAKE
Neytiri, you know my real body is far away, sleeping.
She raises up, placing her fingertips to his chest --
NEYTIRI
This body is real.
(she touches his forehead.)
This spirit is real.
Her eyes are luminous, honest, infinitely deep.
When I was first your teacher, I hated all Sky People.
But you have also taught me.
(whispering)
Spirit is all that matters.
She lays her head down, against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
I am with you now, Jake. We are mated for life.
JAKE
We are?
NEYTIRI
Yes. It is our way.
(innocently)
Oh. I forgot to tell?
He rouses up, making her look at him.
JAKE
Really, we are?
NEYTIRI
We are.
Jake considers this.
JAKE
It’s cool. I’m there.
He lays his head down, and her arms enfold him, sheltering him as he sleeps.
