Working hypothesis is that  both the principals in the piece are  
women. Upon meeting they recognize this in each other (Jimmy more  
overtly)  and proceed without superfluous discussion to act out the  
impromptu sadomasochistic ritual. "Watch where you're putting those  
lilywhites" is sweet talk. Farfetched,  but nothing ventured nothing  
gained.
