The scene begins with Penelope (
River Fox) distantly brushing her hair, overhearing the heated dispute in the kitchen between her parents, Debra (
Sarah Vandella) and Frank (
Tommy Gunn). Debra passionately questions Frank's expectations, 'Did you really assume she'd drop to her knees and perform oral sex right in front of the birthday cake?' Frank appears embarrassed. What was to become of their plans to groom and condition Penelope for sexual servitude once she turned 18? When would it be their turn for pleasure?
A flashback follows, a continuous shot from behind Debra and Frank, as they transport a birthday cake with numbered candles from the kitchen to the living room.
Penelope sits at the center of the sofa, hands neatly folded on her lap, a sweet, innocent grin adorning her face. As they advance with the cake, Debra and Frank sing 'Happy Birthday', placing the cake ceremoniously on the coffee table in front of Penelope as they conclude the song. Another flashback brings us back to the present as Debra explains to Penelope their failed attempts at conceiving a child over the years, including four miscarriages.
Adoption was a consideration, but Frank's criminal record and their financial struggles made it an impractical option. The hospital was extensive, and they were certain no one would miss Penelope. They craved so desperately to have a child of their own. Penelope ceases brushing her hair, a faint smile creeping onto her face as her parents' words linger in her mind. TITLE PLATE
Penelope approaches the kitchen, inquiring if she's intruding.
Debra quickly dismisses it as a mere stain on Frank's shirt. Penelope reveals that she's heard everything and now understands their intentions to exploit her sexually. Instead of repulsion, Penelope confidently steps forward and strokes the front of Frank's trousers, addressing Debra, 'You've been handling THIS all along, Mommy?' referring to his large member.
Penelope then turns to Debra and caresses her breasts, remarking, 'You've been indulging in THESE all along, Daddy?' Penelope gazes provocatively at them both, demanding that they both demonstrate how it's done.
