Avatar's Deleted Sex Scene, Straight From the Script

If you think the Vatican hates Avatar now, just imagine how much they would have liked the original version of the movie that included pre-marital tentacle sex! Now, fortunately, you can: The movie's deleted sex scene between Neytiri and Jake is included in James Cameron's full script, which 20th Century Fox has posted online. We've excerpted the relevant parts of the hookup below. Now might be a good time to break out that blue greasepaint, if only to obscure your blushing.

EXT. WILLOW GLADE

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.

NEYTIRI

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.

NEYTIRI

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

It's cool. I'm there.

He lays his head down, and her arms enfold him, sheltering him as he sleeps.
