Go Fish (1994) - full transcript
Max is a trendy, pretty, young lesbian, who is having trouble finding love. A friend sets her up with Ely, whom Max likes, but Ely is frumpy, homely, and older. Nor do they have much in common. Can Max learn to look past the packaging?

ARE LESBIANS
OR THAT
YOU KNOW ARE LESBIANS
THROUGH HISTORY
OR PRESENT TIME.

AGNES MOOREHEAD.
AGNES MOOREHEAD?
THE ENTIRE CAST
OF
ROSEANNE.
HA HA HA!
EXCEPT FOR DAN,
RIGHT?
EXCUSE ME.
I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHY ARE WE EVEN
MAKING THIS LIST?
IT'S COMPLETELY
SPECULATION.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD
QUESTION.
THROUGHOUT LESBIAN HISTORY,
THERE HAS BEEN
A SERIOUS LACK OF EVIDENCE
THAT WILL TELL US
WHAT THESE WOMEN'S LIVES
WERE TRULY ABOUT.
LESBIAN LIVES
AND LESBIAN RELATIONSHIPS
BARELY EXIST ON PAPER.
IT'S WITH THAT IN MIND
AND UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING
AND POWER OF HISTORY...
THAT WE BEGIN TO WANT
TO CHANGE HISTORY.
[Max]
I FEAR THAT THE MOMENT
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET
WILL BE THWARTED.
MAYBE IT ALREADY HAS BEEN.
I THINK I SAW HER
ON THE SUBWAY YESTERDAY.
I THOUGHT, "WE WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO MEET ON THE BUS."
SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO
SIT NEXT TO ME,
SPILL HER SODA ON ME.
WE'D MAKE A GAME
OF CLEANING UP,
TOUCH EACH OTHER
MORE THAN NECESSARY,
GET OFF AT
THE SAME STOP, TALK.
SHE SAYS, "WELL?"
LIKE SHE FEELS DUMB
BECAUSE WE DON'T
KNOW EACH OTHER
AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING
LIKE OLD FRIENDS.
I REALIZE HOW EXCELLENT
SHE IS IN EVERY WAY.
WE KISS IN THE STREET.
WE TALK ABOUT IT
FOR YEARS LATER--
HOW WE NEVER BELIEVED
IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
UNTIL WE MET.
INSTEAD, SOME FAT MAN
GOT IN THE WAY.
SHE WAS RUSHING FOR THE BUS.
HE WADDLED AHEAD,
SPILLING THE DRINK SHE WAS
SUPPOSED TO SPILL IN
MY LAP
ON HIS INDIFFERENT SHOULDER.
SHE MISSED THE BUS
WITH ME ON IT,
AN EMPTY SEAT NEXT TO ME,
OBLIVIOUS,
THINKING ABOUT
THE TEXTURE OF RAISINS
AND SCRAPING AT GUM
STUCK TO THE SEAT IN FRONT.
I'M SURE THIS IS
WHAT HAPPENED.
THE WHOLE FIASCO PROBABLY
THREW US BOTH OUT OF WHACK.
OUR PATHS WON'T CROSS
UNTIL YEARS LATER
WHEN SHE'S FORGOTTEN
SHE'S A DYKE.
SHE'LL MOVE IN NEXT DOOR.
I'LL HAVE
A PAINFUL CRUSH ON HER.
SHE'LL BE SITTING
WITH HER BOYFRIEND,
AND SHE'LL WAVE TO ME.
I'LL GET A LILT IN MY STOMACH
WHEN SHE WAVES,
AND I'LL TRIP OVER MY CAT
AND STUMBLE
IN A 3 STOOGES WAY.
SHE'LL LOOK AWAY
LIKE SHE'S EMBARRASSED FOR ME.
I'LL FEEL REALLY DUMB.
THEN HER BOYFRIEND
WILL THINK
I SEEM LIKE
I WOULD BE FUN.
ONE MORNING, HE'LL INVITE ME
TO A SHINDIG THEY'RE HAVING.
COME ON.
I'LL GO
AND NOT KNOW ANYONE,
SIT IN THE CORNER,
PLAY WITH PISTACHIO SHELLS,
AND GIVE EACH WOMAN
A MENTAL MAKEOVER.
"WHAT IF SHE WORE
BAGGY JEANS?"
"SHE'D BE REALLY HOT
IF SHE CUT THAT PERM."
THEN DREAM GIRL WILL
INTRODUCE ME TO SOMEONE.
SHE'LL SAY, "THIS IS MATT.
SHE'S MY NEIGHBOR."
I'LL SAY, "NO.
ACTUALLY, IT'S MAX.
"IT'S MAX, LIKE,
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE."
I'LL WALK HOME SAYING,
"IT'S MAX. MY NAME IS MAX.
"WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET
ON THE BUS 2 YEARS AGO.
"WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
SITTING ON OUR COUCH,
"READING AND PLAYING FOOTSIE
ABSENT-MINDEDLY.
"MY NAME IS MAX
"I WANT TO BORROW
YOUR T-SHIRTS,
"WAKE YOU WHEN
I HAVE BAD DREAMS,
"SMILE WHEN WE'RE FIGHTING
BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO ADORABLE,
"PINCH YOUR BUTT WHEN
YOU'RE WALKING IN FRONT OF ME.
"MY NAME IS MAX.
MAKE UP A NAME FOR ME,
"SOMETHING YOU'D BE
EMBARRASSED TO CALL ME
IN PUBLIC.
"FALL IN LOVE WITH ME.
"WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET
SO LONG AGO.
"WE'RE WAY BEHIND.
"IT'S MAX.
MY NAME IS MAX."
[Alarm buzzing]
[Alarm stops]
SHIT.
[Kia] I WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE IN CLASS
10 MINUTES AGO.
WE'RE NOT
THAT LATE.
STOP IT. THIS IS WHY
WE'RE IN TROUBLE ANYWAY.
NO MORE SEX
AFTER MIDNIGHT.
I'M NOT
WEARING THOSE.
YOU HAVE ANY SOCKS?
YEAH. THEY'RE
IN THE TOP DRAWER.
HAVE YOU SEEN
MY LESSON PLANNER?
NO. WHY DON'T
YOU ASK MAX?
MAX, YOU UP?
YEAH.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
HAVE YOU SEEN
MY LESSON PLANNER?
I THINK IT'S
ON THE FRIDGE.
I'LL GET IT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
WAKE US UP?
I'M NOT GOING TO BARGE
INTO THE LOVE NEST.
HERE IT IS,
RIGHT HERE.
WHERE? AH, THANKS.
SO YOU REMEMBER
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
MEET TONIGHT?
WHAT?
YOU'RE GOING TO READ
MY PAPER, REMEMBER?
IT'S GETTING
PUBLISHED.
HEY, EVY.
YOU FOUND IT.
YEAH. DON'T FORGET
TO CALL YOUR MOM.
I WON'T.
5:00, FANTA CAFE,
YOU'RE READING MY PAPER.
YOU ALREADY
SAID YES.
OKAY, OKAY.
5:00.
MOM, I HAVE TO
GO TO WORK.
1 MORE SHIFT.
I'LL BE HOME THIS EVENING.
NO DOUBLE SHIFTS TONIGHT.
IT'S JUST REALLY BUSY,
AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
QUITTING, AND...
O.K., MOM.
SI, SI.
COMO NO.
TE VEO A LA NOCHE.
BYE.
MY MOM SAYS JUNIOR WAS
OVER AGAIN LAST NIGHT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
HE'S ALWAYS OVER THERE.
ME EITHER.
BABY, WE GOT TO GO.
OKAY. MY BAG.
BYE, MAX.
[Max]
SEE YOU, EVY.
BYE, MAX.
[Max] OH, KIA.
KIA, KIA.
I'LL SEE YOU AT 5:00.
SEE YOU.
♪[Jazz music playing]
[Max] THIS PLACE
IS A DYKE-O-RAMA.
WHAT IS IT--
FREE REFILLS
IF YOU'VE EVER
KISSED A WOMAN?
WHO HAD THE ROOT BEER?
ME. THANKS.
COFFEE?
[Kia] YES, THANK YOU,
JUST A LITTLE.
SHE'S
REALLY CUTE.
[Kia] SINCE THEY OPENED,
IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS.
IT'S KIND OF COOL,
BUT IT'S THE SAME
CRUSTY BROADS.
[Max]
YOU KNOW THESE CHICKS?
[Kia]
YEAH, MOST.
[Max]
YOU TOO COOL TO SAY HI?
WHO WOULD YOU LIKE,
MOST ATTRACTIVE TO LEAST?
WE HAVE TOTALLY
DIFFERENT TASTES IN WOMEN.
ARE YOU SAYING
I DON'T HAVE
DISCRIMINATING
TASTE IN WOMEN?
I WAS A DYKE WHEN YOU
WERE IN DIAPERS, KIDDO.
I KNOW WHAT
A MATURE,
ATTRACTIVE WOMAN IS.
I'M NOT SURE I'M WILLING
TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.
HEY, DON'T CALL ME
KIDDO, GRANDMA.
WHAT DOES THAT SAY
ABOUT MY LOVER?
YOU WANTED TO
JUMP HER BONES.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
WE HAVE DIFFERENT
TASTES IN WOMEN?
THAT WAS
A WEIRD COINCIDENCE,
EVEN WEIRDER THAT SHE
CAME ON TO YOU FIRST.
I'M NOT LEAVING YOU
ALONE TOGETHER.
YOU HAVEN'T DIPPED INTO
THE HONEY POT LATELY.
THE HONEY POT? GOD,
YOU'RE SO '70s SOMETIMES.
DON'T CUT IN ON
MY NUN LIFESTYLE.
AT LEAST THOSE NUNS
ARE GETTING SOME.
DON'T REMIND ME
THAT I HAVEN'T
SLEPT WITH A WOMAN
IN 10 MONTHS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU
ARE CALLING ME '70s
WHEN YOU USE VICTORIAN
LANGUAGE FOR SEX.
"SLEPT WITH"?
IT'S SEX--
SEX AS IN SAFE SEX,
AS IN FUCKING,
MAKING LOVE.
YOU CAN STOP NOW.
I'D BE MORE FAMILIAR
WITH THE TERMINOLOGY
IF I REMEMBERED
WHAT IT WAS LIKE.
HELP ME MEET
SOME HOT BABES.
NOW, WHO DO YOU THINK
IS THE CUTEST,
AND CAN YOU
INTRODUCE US?
WHO DO YOU WISH
TO BE INTRODUCED TO?
YOU TELL.
IT'S YOUR LIBIDO.
TELL ME.
WELL, O.K.
LET'S SEE...
I PICK CONTESTANT
NUMBER 1--
THE WOMAN
RIGHT OVER THERE.
SHE'S ADORABLE.
YEAH?
YOUR ATTACHMENT
TO THE '70s
IS MUCH DEEPER
THAN I REALIZED.
MAX,
SHE'S REALLY NICE.
I HAVE ONE WORD--
U-G-L-Y.
♪ SHE AIN'T GOT
NO ALIBI, SHE'S UGLY ♪
THAT IS SO UNCALLED-FOR.
CUT IT OUT.

[Max]
THANKS SO MUCH
FOR LOOKING
AT MY PAPER.
NO PROBLEM.
HEY, ARE YOU
STILL TALKING TO ME?
EVENTUALLY.
I CAN NEVER
STAY MAD AT YOU LONG.
ELY, HI.
HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD, KIA.
HOW ARE YOU?
ARE YOU
STILL TEACHING?
YEAH.
HOW'S KATE?
FINE. SHE'S STAYING
IN SEATTLE RIGHT NOW,
KEEPS THREATENING
TO COME VISIT.
I KNOW SHE'D
LIKE TO SEE YOU
WHEN SHE COMES IN.
HOW HAVE YOU
BEEN DOING?
I HAVE A JOB AT
A VET FULL-TIME.
IT'S KEEPING ME BUSY.
HI. I'M MAX,
KIA'S ROOMMATE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'M ELY.
HI.
NICE TO SEE YOU GUYS.
GIVE ME A CALL.
WE CAN GET TOGETHER.
I WILL.
OKAY. BYE.
I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU KNEW HER.
SHE USED TO GO OUT
WITH A FRIEND.
SHE'S NEVER GOING OUT
WITH THIS FRIEND.
MAX,
GET OVER YOURSELF.
[Max]
KIA, WHO'S THIS CHICK
WE'RE GOING OUT WITH
AGAIN?
KIA?
[Max]
OH...
[Doorbell rings]
HI, MAX.
I'M SORRY I'M LATE.
IS KIA
PARKING THE CAR?
NO. SHE HAD TO
DO STUDY PLANS
AT THE LAST MINUTE.
DO YOU STILL
WANT TO GO?
MAYBE WE SHOULD
WAIT FOR KIA.
SHE REALLY
WANTED TO SEE IT.
IT WAS HER IDEA.
I HAVE STUFF
TO DO ANYWAY.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
HEY, YOU GUYS.
HEY.
HEY, GIRL.
IT'S MAX,
RIGHT?
LOOKING CUTE AS USUAL.
HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD.
THANKS.
THIS IS MIMI.
YOU KNOW ELY,
RIGHT?
WE'VE MET.
YOU STANDING ON THE
DOORSTEP ALL NIGHT?
I WAS
JUST LEAVING.
WE WERE SEEING
A MOVIE, BUT...
WE'RE GOING TO
THE BURRITO PALACE.
I'D INVITE YOU,
BUT I CAN SEE
YOU HAVE PLANS.
SEE YOU LATER.
BYE, YOU GUYS.
SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN
TO MAKE YOU STAND OUT HERE.
WANT TO COME IN
AND HAVE A DRINK?
NO, I'M FINE.
THANKS, THOUGH.
OKAY. WELL,
BYE.
BYE.
SORRY ABOUT THIS.
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
SOME OTHER TIME.
BYE.
[Footsteps]
[Doorbell rings]
YOU WANT TO
JUST GO SEE IT?
I THINK KIA'S
GETTING RID OF ME
SO SHE CAN
HAVE SEX WITH EVY
ON THE KITCHEN TABLE.
THAT SOUNDS
LIKE KIA.
YOU HAVE
SOME DIRT.
[Clinking]
[Horn honking]
THAT MOVIE SUCKED.
WHY DO QUEERS ALWAYS
HAVE TO BE SO PATHETIC?
I MEAN, I'M QUEER.
I'M FINDING IT RELATIVELY
EASY NOT TO HATE MYSELF.
THE MAN IS
A GAY FILMMAKER.
HE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY
TO REPRESENT US
IN A POSITIVE WAY.
I LIKED THE FILM.
THERE WERE MANY BEAUTIFUL
THINGS ABOUT IT.
WE EXPECT
QUEER FILMMAKERS
TO TAKE
THE RESPONSIBILITY
TO REPRESENT
THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
THAT'S A LOT
TO ASK ANYONE.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE
WE CAN WITHSTAND
SUCH NEGATIVE
REPRESENTATION
FROM WITHIN
OUR OWN RANKS.
HE HATES HIMSELF
FOR BEING GAY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DO.
WE WANT HIM
TO REPRESENT EVERYONE,
AND HE'S
JUST REPRESENTING
WHAT HE SEES
IN THE COMMUNITY.
YOU WANT SOME TEA
OR SOMETHING?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
THERE'S A BUNCH
OF DIFFERENT KINDS.
PICK OUT SOMETHING.
WOW! YOU HAVE
A LOT OF TEA.
YOU LIKE TEA?
I LIKE TEA.
DID YOU PICK OUT
WHAT YOU WANT?
I'M IN THE MOOD
FOR SOMETHING COLD.
OKAY.
ICED TEA?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
CAN WE NOT SAY
THE WORD "TEA" ANYMORE?
ALL RIGHT.
DON'T SAY TEA.
YOU WANT TO GO
IN THE LIVING ROOM?
SURE.
SO, YOU'RE A VET?
I WISH. MORE LIKE
A NURSE'S AIDE.
YOU TAKE LITTLE
BANDAGES
AND PUT THEM ON
LITTLE KITTY PAWS?
UH-HUH. WHEEL AROUND
THE JELL-O CART,
FLUFF THEIR PILLOWS
AT NIGHT.
YOU GIVE THEM
BEDPANS?
MY FAVORITE PART.
I GUESS THAT MEANS
YOU'D HATE ME
IF I SAID I KILLED
A GUINEA PIG.
I WOULDN'T HATE YOU.
EVERYONE LIKES TELLING ME
GRISLY ANIMAL STORIES.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU?
YES.
MY BROTHER HAD THIS
SMELLY GUINEA PIG.
I WANTED TO
CLEAN THE CAGE.
I PUT THE GUINEA PIG
IN A BOX IN THE SUN.
I FORGOT ABOUT IT,
AND IT JUST BAKED.
YUCK.
THAT'S PRETTY BAD.
I ONCE RAN OVER A SNAKE
WITH A LAWNMOWER.
GROSS.
IT KIND OF SPLIT IN 2,
BUT IT LIVED.
THE SNAKE LIVED?
WE TAPED IT
BACK TOGETHER,
AND IT GREW AND LIVED.

ANYTHING ABOUT YOU ♪
LIAR.
NO, IT DID LIVE.
WHAT IS THIS?
OH, THAT'S, UM...
THAT'S A
GOOD-LUCK CHARM.
MY EX-GIRLFRIEND
GAVE IT TO ME.
IT'S REALLY CUTE.
DO YOU WEAR IT
ALL THE TIME?
YEAH,
ACTUALLY, I DO.
IT'S KIND OF SKANKY.
DON'T LOOK AT IT.
UM, WHAT'S THIS?
[Telephone rings]
A THING I GOT
AT MICHIGAN.
IT'S LIKE THE BLACK
TRIANGLE THING.
[Answering machine clicks]
[Woman's recorded voice]
I'M STILL FREE
FRIDAY NIGHT.
WHOEVER LEAVES
THE SEXIEST MESSAGE
CAN WIN A DATE WITH ME.
IS THAT DARIA
ON THE MACHINE?
I NEVER LEAVE
THOSE MESSAGES.
SHE'S SO FUNNY.
[Different woman's voice]
IT'S ME. ARE YOU THERE?
CALL ME
WHEN YOU GET IN.
I HAVE GREAT NEWS.
I'M MISSING YOU.
CALL ME.
[Beep]
IS THAT YOUR MOM?
UM...IT'S MY PARTNER
IN SEATTLE.
OH. UM,
IS SHE ON VACATION?
NO. SHE
LIVES THERE.
OH, UM...
THAT'S REALLY SAD.
HOW LONG HAS
SHE BEEN THERE?
UM...
2 1/2 YEARS.
WHY DON'T YOU MOVE OUT
THERE OR SOMETHING?
WELL, IT'S
KIND OF COMPLICATED.
I MEAN,
SHE LEFT AFTER SCHOOL
TO WORK
OUT THERE.
SHE HAD A COMMITMENT
TO WORK.
I NEEDED TO STAY
AND FINISH SCHOOL,
AND I'M STILL TRYING
TO FINISH SCHOOL.
SHE HAS
A REALLY GOOD JOB.
WE JUST...
KIND OF PARTED.
THAT DATE WAS
A BAD SCENE.
I DON'T THINK MAX LIKES
YOU VERY MUCH, DARIA.
SHE'LL COME AROUND.
WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO ABOUT KATE?
THAT RELATIONSHIP
HAS BEEN OVER
FOR A WHILE.
REMEMBER, KATE'S
A FRIEND OF MINE.
SHE'S MY FRIEND, TOO,
BUT I KNOW
A DEAD RELATIONSHIP
WHEN I SEE ONE.
I GUESS
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE
STILL GOING OUT.
IT'S A PERFECT
EXAMPLE
OF HOW LESBIANS
NEVER BREAK UP.
THAT OLD LESBIAN
BED-DEATH.
THEY'RE NOT
A COUPLE.
I GOT A GOOD FEELING
ABOUT ELY AND MAX.
I THINK IT
WILL WORK OUT.
I FEEL SORRY
FOR ELY.
KATE CALLING--
SUCH SHITTY TIMING.
I DON'T THINK
WE'VE MET.
THIS IS MELANIE.
HI. CALL ME MEL.
OKAY, MEL.
I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH MAX
IS ELY'S TYPE.
I THINK MAX
MIGHT BE
A LITTLE FAST
FOR HER.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
CALL THIS
"DARIA GOES FISHING."
GET OVER IT,
DARIA.
IT'S CALLED "GO FISH,"
NOT "ALL YOU CAN EAT."
TRUE ENOUGH.
BESIDES,
ELY WASN'T TRYING
TO GET OUT
OF THAT KISS.
THEY'RE
A TOUGH PAIR.
IS THERE SOME
NATURAL DISASTER
THAT HAPPENS
DURING THIS THING
THAT COULD FORCE
THEM TOGETHER--
LIKE GETTING STUCK
ON A TRAIN
BECAUSE OF
AN ACCIDENT?
I DON'T THINK SO.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN
THE LONG WAY.
THAT'S COOL,
SO LONG AS I GET
SOME NOOKIE.
HAVE SOME RESPECT
FOR MEL.
I WASN'T TALKING
ABOUT MAX. LIGHTEN UP.
[Bell tolls]
YOU'RE ADMITTING IT.
YOU SET ME UP.
NO. I HAD TO PLAN
MY LECTURES.
ONLY AFTER YOU LEFT
DID I DECIDE
TO SHOW A FILM.
I KNEW YOU'D MAKE UP
SOME CHEAP EXCUSE.
NOW YOU'LL PAY.
HEY!
I WANT YOU TO REFLECT
ON WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE.
THINK ABOUT YOUR SYMBOLIC
VIOLENCE TOWARDS ME.
NONE OF THAT WOMEN'S
STUDIES 101 SHIT.
THIS IS
NO LAUGHING MATTER.
IT'S WOMAN-ON-WOMAN
VIOLENCE. IT'S VERY SAD.
YOU'RE STEERING
THE CONVERSATION
AWAY FROM WHAT YOU
DID TO ME.
I THOUGHT
AFTER YOU GOT PAST
YOUR SHALLOW
FASHION REQUIREMENTS,
YOU'D FIND ELY
INTERESTING.
KIA, INTERESTING?
LET ME GO OVER
THINGS ABOUT HER
THAT WORKED FOR ME--
DRESSES LIKE MY MAMMA
IN THE '70s,
HAD 100 DIFFERENT
KINDS OF TEA--ALL DECAF,
SHE LIKED
THAT STUPID MOVIE,
SHE'S NOT INTERESTED
IN HER OWN OPPRESSION,
AND LAST
AND MOST IMPORTANT,
SHE'S MARRIED.
TO KATE?
YOU KNEW SHE HAD
A GIRLFRIEND?
I THOUGHT THEY BROKE UP.
THEY LIVE APART.
2 YEARS
OF NOT LIVING
IN THE SAME CITY.
THEY'VE VISITED 3 TIMES.
KATE WAS IN MY CLASS.
WHEN?
A COUPLE YEARS
BEFORE YOU.
WHAT'S SHE LIKE--
A TOTAL HIPPIE?
I'M NOT STARTING
IN ON THIS.
TELL ME--REGULAR, CRUNCHY,
OR EXTRA CRUNCHY?
I WON'T SAY
IF SHE'S A HIPPIE,
BUT SHE DID MOVE
TO SEATTLE.
[Together]
EXTRA CRUNCHY.
IT DOESN'T MATTER
ANYWAY.
I REMAIN
AS I HAVE BEEN
FOR QUITE
SOME TIME--
A CAREFREE,
SINGLE LESBO.
[Together]
LOOKIN' FOR LOVE.
I THINK YOU GUYS
WOULD BE GOOD TOGETHER.
YEAH. THAT WOULD BE
THE LITTLE RELATIONSHIP
THAT COULD.
WHAT HAVE YOU
GOT TO LOSE?
KIA, THIS IS
SO WORTHLESS.
I WISH YOU'D ADMIT THAT.
WHY ARE THEY APART
IF THEY'RE SO IN LOVE?
YOU KNOW, SHE NEVER
MENTIONED LOVE.
IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE
BUSINESS PARTNERS.
EVEN WEIRDER,
THERE'S NO REASON
THEY SHOULD LIVE APART.
I THOUGHT ELY WAS
IN SCHOOL.
SHE TOLD ME
SHE QUIT.
SHE'S HANGING AROUND
KEEPING DARIA COMPANY?
I GUESS.
MAYBE ELY
AND DARIA...
EW! I DON'T THINK SO.
DARIA'S A HO.
YOU LEAVE DARIA ALONE.
WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER
OUR COLLECTIVE
LESBIAN IMAGE BE--
HOT, PASSIONATE,
SAY-YES-TO-SEX DYKES
OR TOUCHY-FEELY
SISTERS OF THE WOODLANDS?
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE ACKNOWLEDGE WOMEN
WHO ARE COMFORTABLE
WITH THEIR SEXUAL SELVES,
ESPECIALLY LESBIANS.
DARIA'S A POSITIVE
'90s ROLE MODEL,
AND ELY'S
BEHIND THE TIMES.
I DON'T THINK
THEY'RE DOING IT.
ELY SEEMS
TOO HONEST FOR THAT.
BESIDES, YOU KNOW, HER
AND KATE ARE MONOGAMOUS.
IT'S PROBABLY MORE
OUT OF FEAR AND INERTIA
THAN ON PRINCIPLE.
ELY'S ALWAYS BEEN TIMID.
YOU MEAN OF SEX?
IT SEEMS LESS GENERAL--
A FEAR OF INTIMACY.
SHE'S IN THIS
REALLY COMFY POSITION.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO
CONFRONT IT.
I GUESS
THAT MAKES SENSE.
I HATE THIS.
WHY IS IT ALWAYS
LIKE THIS?
I JUST WANT TO FIND
A GIRLFRIEND
AND HAVE THERE BE
NO CATCHES,
NO GLITCHES,
NO BOOBY TRAPS.
AS MUCH AS
WE JOKE ABOUT IT,
I REALLY JUST WANT TO
FIND A GIRLFRIEND.
I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW
COMPLICATED IT WOULD BE.
YOU SET ME UP.
YEAH.
I DESERVE IT.
HA HA HA!
NO, YOU DON'T
DESERVE IT.
WE DID GET ALONG,
DESPITE HER SEVERE CASE
OF HIPPIE-ITIS.
YOU KNOW
THE WORST THING,
THE THING THAT
TOTALLY MAKES IT SUCK?
WHAT?
I KISSED HER.
SHE KISS YOU BACK?
YEAH.
TONGUE?
I'D SAY MY PLAN'S
STILL WORKING.
HA HA HA HA!

SHE CUTS HER
OWN HAIR, EVEN.
SHE KNOWS

OKAY. I'M READY.
I'M SO PROUD

YOU HAVEN'T HAD
SHORT HAIR

THIS HAIRDRESSER.
THEY TALKED ME
INTO IT.
I LIKE IT. IT GIVES YOU
A DIFFERENT LOOK.
IT LOOKS BUTCH,
RIGHT?
IT IS
A GENDER-BENDER.
YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S
IN FOR A SHOCK.
YOU RAN AWAY A FEMME
AND CAME BACK A BUTCH.
THAT WAS A JOKE.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LAUGH.
THAT BUTCH/FEMME THING
IS REALLY OPPRESSIVE.
YOU WEREN'T TRYING TO LOOK
MORE BUTCH, WERE YOU?
NO. I JUST
WANTED IT CUT.
SOMEONE SAID I
LOOKED LIKE
A HIPPIE.
THAT PUSHED IT
OVER THE EDGE.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU
LOOKED LIKE A HIPPIE.
IT'S EMBARRASSING.
DON'T TELL ANYONE
THAT'S WHY I CUT IT.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU
LOOKED LIKE A LESBIAN
WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU.
DID I NEED A LABYRUS
AROUND YOUR NECK
TO TIP ME OFF?
I WANT MY HAIR CUT
BECAUSE
IT'S GETTING LONG.
WHAT IF PEOPLE THINK
I'M JUST CUTTING IT
TO LOOK MORE LIKE
A REAL DYKE?
IF YOU DON'T CUT IT
BECAUSE YOU WANT TO,
AREN'T YOU FALLING
INTO THE SAME TRAP?
TOTALLY.
I HAVEN'T HAD A DATE
IN 10 MONTHS ANYWAY.
THERE WAS 1 CHICK
I WENT TO A MOVIE WITH.
SHE HAD A GIRLFRIEND.
MAYBE I DO NEED
A HAIRCUT.
I'M SORRY
ABOUT THAT.
THERE DIDN'T SEEM A
GOOD TIME TO TELL YOU.
IT'S NO
BIG DEAL.
HAPPENS TO ME
ALL THE TIME.
DON'T CUT YOUR HAIR.
IT LOOKS GOOD.
BESIDES, LOOK
AT HOW YOU DRESS.
I'M NOT DRESSED
TO LOOK DYKEY.
I'M FASHIONABLE.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.
OH, AND I'M NOT?
YOU'RE LEANING
TOWARD THE HIPPIE SIDE.
BETTER HIPPIE
THAN BUTCH WANNABE.
I DON'T THINK
YOU LOOK HIPPIE.
I THINK
YOU LOOK GOOD.
YOU LOOK FINE,
NOT LIKE A HIPPIE.
ANYWAY, IT WAS
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
OKAY. SEE YOU.
[Beep]
I FORGOT TO PAY.
[Siren]
HEY, BABY.
HEY.
SET THE ALARM.
IF I'M LATE ONCE MORE,
I'LL BE FIRED.
I THINK
MAX HAS A CLOCK.
MAX!
MAX!
I THINK SHE'S
ASLEEP ALREADY.
NO, SHE'S NOT.
I'LL GO GET HER.
THAT'S ONE SERIOUS LITTLE
ROOMMATE YOU GOT THERE.
WHAT'S SHE UP TO?
SHE'S WRITING.
SHE HANDED ME THE CLOCK
WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT ME.
I'LL BET SHE'S
THINKING ABOUT ELY.
I THINK SHE'S
AFRAID TO ADMIT
THAT SHE LIKES HER.
WHAT--THAT MAX LIKES ELY
OR THAT ELY LIKES MAX?
I THINK THAT
MAX LIKES ELY,
AND ELY PROBABLY
LIKES MAX, ALSO.
SHE'S JUST CAUTIOUS
BY NATURE.
MAYBE NOT.
ANYWAY, I HOPE THEY
GET OVER IT SOON,
BECAUSE THEY'RE AT
THAT AGONIZING STAGE
WHEN PEOPLE MEET--
IS THIS
GOING TO WORK,
IS THIS PERSON
WORTH IT,
SHOULD I
TAKE THE PLUNGE?
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
[Evy] WHAT MADE YOU TAKE
THE PLUNGE WHEN YOU SAW ME?
I WAS DRUNK.
YOU WERE NOT.
I WAS--
2 GLASSES OF WINE.
I WAS DRUNK
FOR ME.
BLAME IT ON THE WINE.
YOU WERE ENTICED
BY MY DANCING.
YOU WERE
PLAYING IT UP
BECAUSE YOU KNEW
I WAS WATCHING.
WAS NOT.
YOU WERE VERY SEXY.
WAS NOT.
HA HA HA!

[Cat meows]
[Tapping]
WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?
MAKES ME SICK.
DOES IT MAKE YOU SICK
OR JUST SCARE YOU?
DON'T CALL YOURSELF
SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT.
I CALL MYSELF A LESBIAN.
THAT'S WHAT I AM.
MY DEFINITION
OF A LESBIAN
DOES NOT
INVOLVE MEN.
HOW CAN WE
ESTABLISH IDENTITY
IF LESBIANS
HAVE SEX WITH MEN?
WE NEED TO--
GET SOME DICK?
WE'RE NOT TALKING
LIFE COMMITMENT HERE.
WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT SEX--JUST SEX.
THERE IS NO SUCH
THING AS JUST SEX.
I WANT TO KNOW BEFORE
I SLEEP WITH YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE SEX
WITH WOMEN
WHO HAVE SLEPT WITH MEN?
WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT THE PAST.
HOW MUCH TIME
HAS TO PASS
BEFORE I REGAIN
MY LESBIAN STATUS?
I DON'T HAVE SEX
WITH WOMEN
WHO SLEEP WITH MEN.
DID YOU HAVE SAFE SEX?
WHEN WAS THE LAST
TIME YOU DID?
THE LAST TIME
I HAD SEX.
ANYONE ELSE?
YOU CAN'T
JUST DO THAT.
HE'S A FRIEND.
WHAT'S THE BIG
FUCKING DEAL?
WOMEN ARE MY LIFE.
I LOVE WOMEN.
BUT YOU CAN'T STAY AWAY
FROM THAT DICK.
I'D LIKE TO HEAR WHY.
I FORGOT FOR A MINUTE
THAT "BIG SISTER" WAS WATCHING.
I JUST DON'T SEE
WHAT'S SO BAD.
MAYBE SHE CONSIDERS
HERSELF BISEXUAL.
THEN SHE
SHOULD SAY THAT.
I'M A LESBIAN
WHO HAD SEX WITH A MAN.
NO SUCH THING.
I HAD SEX WITH 1 MAN!
IF A GAY MAN HAS SEX
WITH A WOMAN,
HE WAS BORED, DRUNK,
LONELY, WHATEVER.
IF A LESBIAN HAS SEX
WITH A MAN,
HER LIFE CHOICE
BECOMES SUSPECT.
YOU'RE GIVING MEN
TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE.
YOU'RE MAKING UP
EXCUSES
TO HIDE
YOUR DESIRE FOR MEN.
LIVE YOUR LIFE
THE WAY YOU WANT.
DON'T CALL YOURSELF
A LESBIAN.
NO ONE WOULD CARE,
AS LONG AS YOU SAY
WHAT YOU REALLY ARE.
WHY DON'T YOU CLUE ME IN
ON WHAT I AM?
YOU HAVE TO HAVE SEX
WITH A MAN OVER TIME
TO HAVE YOUR IDENTITY
AS A LESBIAN QUESTIONED.
IT'S A QUESTION
OF HOW YOU DO IT.
I DON'T THINK
SHE'S A DYKE.
SHE'S NOT STRONG ENOUGH.
IT'S COOL,
BUT I WOULDN'T DATE HER.
I WOULDN'T DATE ANYONE
THAT CLOSE-MINDED.
YOU TELL EVERY WOMAN
YOU SLEEP WITH
HOW MANY MEN YOU'VE HAD
SEX WITH AND HOW RECENTLY?
NO, BUT I'VE HAD SEX WITH
MORE WOMEN THAN ANYONE HERE.
I'M NOT SAYING
QUANTITY IS QUALITY,
BUT IT'S HARDER TO KEEP YOUR
IDENTITY AS A SINGLE LESBIAN
THAN AS SOME WOMAN
IN A HOMEY LITTLE RELATIONSHIP.
WOMEN YOU
HAVE SEX WITH
DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE DEALING WITH.
WHAT'S THE LIKELIHOOD
OF A WOMAN
COMING HOME WITH ME
IF I SAY, "I'VE RECENTLY
HAD SEX WITH A MAN"?
VERY SLIM.
EXACTLY.
IT WOULD BE DISHONEST
NOT TO TELL HER.
WHO THINKS ABOUT
ALL THE PEOPLE
THE PERSON YOU'RE
HAVING SEX WITH
HAS HAD SEX WITH?
I DON'T KNOW.
SOME PEOPLE
GET OFF ON THAT.
THE POINT IS,
SHE'S CUTE,
BUT IF I THOUGHT SHE WOULD
HAVE SEX WITH A MAN
WHILE I WAS DATING HER,
I'D SAY FORGET IT.
IF WE WERE IN
SOME COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP,
I WOULDN'T HAVE SEX
WITH ANYONE ELSE.
WHO'S TO SAY
THIS LITTLE WHIM
WON'T POP UP AGAIN?
I DON'T CHEAT ON PEOPLE.
WHY IS EVERYONE
ACTING
LIKE IT'S
THE END OF THE WORLD
FOR HER TO HAVE SEX
WITH GUYS?
I HATE TO PICTURE HER
LIKE THAT.
IF IT MEANS SO LITTLE,
WHY ARE YOU ACTING GUILTY?
DID YOU ENJOY IT?
IT WASN'T BAD.
DID YOU COME?
NO.
I BET HE DID.
I WASN'T IN IT
FOR AN ORGASM.
WHAT FOR, THEN?
SEX!
HEY, DARIA, WHY HAVE YOU
BEEN SO QUIET TODAY?
JUST THINKING.
WHO WAS YOUR DREAM
DATE FOR THE WEEK?
IT'S BEEN
A SLOW WEEK.
IT'S BEEN ROUGH
ON ALL OF US,
BUT HAVE WE GOT
A GIRL FOR YOU!
OH, YOU GUYS...
THIS IS MARIANNA.
MARIANNA,
MEET DARIA.
SHE'S
SO GLAMOROUS.
IT'S LOVE.
I THINK I'VE HAD
THIS GIRL BEFORE.
OKAY.
HEY, KIDS,
WHAT ABOUT
ELY AND MAX?
THEY SEEM TO BE MAKING
A LITTLE PROGRESS.
MAX SHOULD NOT
HAVE SAID
THE WORD "BUTCH"
TO HER.
SHE'S SENSITIVE
ABOUT THAT.
I LIKED ELY'S HAIR
BETTER LONG.
IT'S AWESOME
IN A CREW CUT.
MAX THINKS SO, TOO.
DID YOU SEE THE WAY
SHE TOUCHED IT?
ELY NEEDS
TO RELAX A LITTLE.
DEFINITELY.

WHAT IF THE FEELING
OF HAVING A DIRTY SECRET
OVERWHELMS ME?
WHAT IF I CRACK UNDER THE
STRAIN OF NEVER
BEING OUT ENOUGH?
HOW CAN I BE OUT TO THE WOMAN
I'M STANDING NEXT TO,
THE CHILD
WHO SMILES AT ME,
THE MAN WHO ASKS ME
TO SPARE A QUARTER?
WHAT IF I BLACK OUT

IN A HOUSE
AND FIND I'M MARRIED

AN HONEST MAN
WHO'S DEVOTED TO ME,

IT'S NOT AS LATE AS I THOUGHT,

OF THE OLD WOMAN
WHO SIGHS QUIETLY,
"YOUNG LOVE."
MOTHER INSISTS WE COME
TO HER HOUSE FOR THANKSGIVING
BECAUSE IT FEELS SO GOOD
TO HAVE A MAN AROUND THE HOUSE
AT HOLIDAYS.
I CAN SINK INTO THE COMFORT
OF BEING MOTHER, WIFE,
SISTER-IN-LAW, GRANDMOTHER--
NOT ALWAYS UNCOUPLED
IN A FAMILY PORTRAIT,
NOT STRAPPED WITH
THE AWKWARD TITLE OF "AUNT."
I COULD LIVE A LIFE
OF GENDER-SPECIFIC PRONOUNS
AND ANSWER TRUTHFULLY
ABOUT BOYFRIENDS
AND MEAN ONLY "GOOD FRIEND"
WHEN I SAY IT
AND LEAVE OFF
THAT DESPERATE QUALIFIER--
"REALLY"
GOOD FRIEND.
SEX WOULD BE
A FRIENDLY RITUAL,
ALWAYS FINITE,
NEVER FRIGHTENING.
I COULD FOCUS ON RESPECT
WHILE HE FUCKED ME
AND HOW IT FEELS
KIND
OF GOOD
IF YOU ERADICATE
THAT UNDERLYING IMAGE
OF THE EMPTY HOLE
LONGING TO BE FILLED
AND TRY NOT TO DWELL
ON THE SATISFACTION HE FEELS.
DOUBLE INCOME.
I COULD KEEP MY OWN NAME,
MAYBE HYPHENATE
FOR A LIBERATED FEEL.
WE COULD HAVE ANNIVERSARY
DINNERS IN LOVELY SPOTS.
HE'D DASH OFF TO THE WAITER

SO THEY CAN BRING OUT

WILL FEEL A WARM GLOW.
WHAT IF I FIND MYSELF

"I WAS SO YOUNG,"

CAN I CALL

NO.

OKAY.

HOW LONG BEFORE

IS THAT THE MOST
IMPORTANT TOPIC AT HAND?
I'M JUST GLAD
OUR WORK IS OVER.
KNOWING ELY,
IT'S GOING TO BE
2 OR 3
MORE DATES.
WHAT IS THIS,
THE LESBIAN GANDHI?
I DON'T HAVE
THAT KIND OF TIME.
NOT EVERYONE
JUMPS RIGHT IN.
TO GO FROM
"I SORT OF BROKE UP
WITH MY GIRLFRIEND"
TO "LET'S
FUCK"?
NOT THESE BABES.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE
THE POWER OF A WOMAN
THAT'S BEEN DEPRIVED
OF THE HONEY POT.
HONEY POT?
THAT "HONEY POT"
THING'S GOT TO GO.
WHAT DO
YOU CALL IT?
FIND A MORE
ENDEARING TERM,
AND I'LL PUT "HONEY POT"
ON THE SHELF.
SO IF YOU
WANT ENDEARING,
THEN "VAGINA"
IS OUT.
YES, NURSE.
DARIA?
"LOVE MOUND"
IS MY FAVE.
UH-UH.
TOO VICTORIAN.
NO, IT'S NOT.
PICTURE THIS.
"YOU'RE SO HOT,
"I CAN'T WAIT
TO GET YOU HOME
"AND PUMP
YOUR LOVE MOUND."
WORKS FOR ME.
WORKED
FOR YOU.
IT'S TOO
EUPHEMISTIC.
"GIRL PATCH."
YEAH!
CUTE,
BUT IS IT SEXY?
IT CAN BE.
LET'S SEE...
"SHE MOANED,
"GRABBING HER GIRL
PATCH IN ECSTASY."
IT WORKS.
I LIKE IT.
"GIRL PATCH" SOUNDS
LIKE A BAD HAIRCUT.
WELL, HOW
ABOUT "CUNT"?
TOO HARSH.
NO, NO, NO.
LOSERS.
HOW ABOUT...
HMM.
LET'S SEE...
"BEARDED CLAM."
HOW ABOUT THAT?
OH, BOY.
NO, THAT'S TOO
HIGH-SCHOOL LOCKER ROOM.
BESIDES,
THERE ARE PEOPLE
THAT GET OFFENDED
BY THAT WHOLE
BEARDED-CLAM/FISH THING.
I LOVE "FISH."
"FISH" IS CUTE.
I DON'T
UNDERSTAND IT.
IT DOESN'T TASTE
LIKE FISH TO ME.
IT'S SOMETHING
MORE ON THE LINE
OF THE FRENCH
FRY FAMILY.
IT DEPENDS ON
WHO YOU ARE WITH.
NOW, YOU
TASTE LIKE--
OH, CUT IT OUT! STOP.
ISN'T "HONEY POT"
SOUNDING BETTER
AND BETTER?
IT'S SEXY WITHOUT
BEING VULGAR
AND APPEALING
WITHOUT BEING CUTESY.
HOW ABOUT
PLAIN OLD "BEAVE"?
IT'S FAMILIAR,
FRIENDLY,
SOMETHING YOU COULD
ALMOST SAY TO MOM.
I DON'T LIKE
THE TEETH.
I'M STICKING
WITH "HONEY POT."
SO, UM...ISN'T THIS
THE PART
WHERE YOU
ASK ME OUT?
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GO ON A DATE?
I WOULD LOVE TO.
WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO DO?
I DON'T KNOW.
I HADN'T GOTTEN THAT FAR.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
WELL, WE ALREADY
SAW A MOVIE.
WHY DON'T YOU
JUST COME OVER,

WE PROBABLY SAVED YOU
A LOT OF TIME
BY SHOWERING TOGETHER.
IT'S HER BIG DATE.
YOU'VE TURNED THE PLACE
INTO A DEN OF LOVE.
WHAT ARE YOU

IT'S COMPLETELY
SPECULATION.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD
QUESTION.
THROUGHOUT LESBIAN HISTORY,
THERE HAS BEEN
A SERIOUS LACK OF EVIDENCE
THAT WILL TELL US
WHAT THESE WOMEN'S LIVES
WERE TRULY ABOUT.
LESBIAN LIVES
AND LESBIAN RELATIONSHIPS
BARELY EXIST ON PAPER.
IT'S WITH THAT IN MIND
AND UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING
AND POWER OF HISTORY...
THAT WE BEGIN TO WANT
TO CHANGE HISTORY.
[Max]
I FEAR THAT THE MOMENT
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET
WILL BE THWARTED.
MAYBE IT ALREADY HAS BEEN.
I THINK I SAW HER
ON THE SUBWAY YESTERDAY.
I THOUGHT, "WE WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO MEET ON THE BUS."
SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO
SIT NEXT TO ME,
SPILL HER SODA ON ME.
WE'D MAKE A GAME
OF CLEANING UP,
TOUCH EACH OTHER
MORE THAN NECESSARY,
GET OFF AT
THE SAME STOP, TALK.
SHE SAYS, "WELL?"
LIKE SHE FEELS DUMB
BECAUSE WE DON'T
KNOW EACH OTHER
AND WE'VE BEEN TALKING
LIKE OLD FRIENDS.
I REALIZE HOW EXCELLENT
SHE IS IN EVERY WAY.
WE KISS IN THE STREET.
WE TALK ABOUT IT
FOR YEARS LATER--
HOW WE NEVER BELIEVED
IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
UNTIL WE MET.
INSTEAD, SOME FAT MAN
GOT IN THE WAY.
SHE WAS RUSHING FOR THE BUS.
HE WADDLED AHEAD,
SPILLING THE DRINK SHE WAS
SUPPOSED TO SPILL IN
MY LAP
ON HIS INDIFFERENT SHOULDER.
SHE MISSED THE BUS
WITH ME ON IT,
AN EMPTY SEAT NEXT TO ME,
OBLIVIOUS,
THINKING ABOUT
THE TEXTURE OF RAISINS
AND SCRAPING AT GUM
STUCK TO THE SEAT IN FRONT.
I'M SURE THIS IS
WHAT HAPPENED.
THE WHOLE FIASCO PROBABLY
THREW US BOTH OUT OF WHACK.
OUR PATHS WON'T CROSS
UNTIL YEARS LATER
WHEN SHE'S FORGOTTEN
SHE'S A DYKE.
SHE'LL MOVE IN NEXT DOOR.
I'LL HAVE
A PAINFUL CRUSH ON HER.
SHE'LL BE SITTING
WITH HER BOYFRIEND,
AND SHE'LL WAVE TO ME.
I'LL GET A LILT IN MY STOMACH
WHEN SHE WAVES,
AND I'LL TRIP OVER MY CAT
AND STUMBLE
IN A 3 STOOGES WAY.
SHE'LL LOOK AWAY
LIKE SHE'S EMBARRASSED FOR ME.
I'LL FEEL REALLY DUMB.
THEN HER BOYFRIEND
WILL THINK
I SEEM LIKE
I WOULD BE FUN.
ONE MORNING, HE'LL INVITE ME
TO A SHINDIG THEY'RE HAVING.
COME ON.
I'LL GO
AND NOT KNOW ANYONE,
SIT IN THE CORNER,
PLAY WITH PISTACHIO SHELLS,
AND GIVE EACH WOMAN
A MENTAL MAKEOVER.
"WHAT IF SHE WORE
BAGGY JEANS?"
"SHE'D BE REALLY HOT
IF SHE CUT THAT PERM."
THEN DREAM GIRL WILL
INTRODUCE ME TO SOMEONE.
SHE'LL SAY, "THIS IS MATT.
SHE'S MY NEIGHBOR."
I'LL SAY, "NO.
ACTUALLY, IT'S MAX.
"IT'S MAX, LIKE,
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE."
I'LL WALK HOME SAYING,
"IT'S MAX. MY NAME IS MAX.

A NURSE'S AIDE.
YOU TAKE LITTLE
BANDAGES
AND PUT THEM ON
LITTLE KITTY PAWS?
UH-HUH. WHEEL AROUND
THE JELL-O CART,
FLUFF THEIR PILLOWS
AT NIGHT.
YOU GIVE THEM
BEDPANS?
MY FAVORITE PART.
I GUESS THAT MEANS
YOU'D HATE ME
IF I SAID I KILLED
A GUINEA PIG.
I WOULDN'T HATE YOU.
EVERYONE LIKES TELLING ME
GRISLY ANIMAL STORIES.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU?
YES.
MY BROTHER HAD THIS
SMELLY GUINEA PIG.
I WANTED TO
CLEAN THE CAGE.
I PUT THE GUINEA PIG
IN A BOX IN THE SUN.
I FORGOT ABOUT IT,
AND IT JUST BAKED.
YUCK.
THAT'S PRETTY BAD.
I ONCE RAN OVER A SNAKE
WITH A LAWNMOWER.
GROSS.
IT KIND OF SPLIT IN 2,
BUT IT LIVED.
THE SNAKE LIVED?
WE TAPED IT
BACK TOGETHER,
AND IT GREW AND LIVED.

UM...IT'S MY PARTNER

OH. UM,
IS SHE ON VACATION?
NO. SHE
LIVES THERE.
OH, UM...
THAT'S REALLY SAD.
HOW LONG HAS
SHE BEEN THERE?
UM...
2 1/2 YEARS.
WHY DON'T YOU MOVE OUT
THERE OR SOMETHING?
WELL, IT'S
KIND OF COMPLICATED.
I MEAN,
SHE LEFT AFTER SCHOOL
TO WORK
OUT THERE.
SHE HAD A COMMITMENT
TO WORK.
I NEEDED TO STAY
AND FINISH SCHOOL,
AND I'M STILL TRYING
TO FINISH SCHOOL.
SHE HAS
A REALLY GOOD JOB.
WE JUST...
KIND OF PARTED.
THAT DATE WAS
A BAD SCENE.
I DON'T THINK MAX LIKES
YOU VERY MUCH, DARIA.
SHE'LL COME AROUND.
WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO ABOUT KATE?
THAT RELATIONSHIP
HAS BEEN OVER
FOR A WHILE.
REMEMBER, KATE'S
A FRIEND OF MINE.
SHE'S MY FRIEND, TOO,
BUT I KNOW
A DEAD RELATIONSHIP
WHEN I SEE ONE.
I GUESS
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE
STILL GOING OUT.
IT'S A PERFECT
EXAMPLE
OF HOW LESBIANS
NEVER BREAK UP.
THAT OLD LESBIAN
BED-DEATH.
THEY'RE NOT
A COUPLE.
I GOT A GOOD FEELING
ABOUT ELY AND MAX.
I THINK IT
WILL WORK OUT.
I FEEL SORRY
FOR ELY.
KATE CALLING--
SUCH SHITTY TIMING.
I DON'T THINK
WE'VE MET.
THIS IS MELANIE.
HI. CALL ME MEL.
OKAY, MEL.
I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH MAX
IS ELY'S TYPE.
I THINK MAX
MIGHT BE
A LITTLE FAST
FOR HER.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
CALL THIS
"DARIA GOES FISHING."
GET OVER IT,
DARIA.
IT'S CALLED "GO FISH,"
NOT "ALL YOU CAN EAT."
TRUE ENOUGH.
BESIDES,
ELY WASN'T TRYING
TO GET OUT
OF THAT KISS.
THEY'RE
A TOUGH PAIR.
IS THERE SOME
NATURAL DISASTER
THAT HAPPENS
DURING THIS THING
THAT COULD FORCE
THEM TOGETHER--
LIKE GETTING STUCK
ON A TRAIN
BECAUSE OF
AN ACCIDENT?
I DON'T THINK SO.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN
THE LONG WAY.
THAT'S COOL,
SO LONG AS I GET
SOME NOOKIE.
HAVE SOME RESPECT
FOR MEL.
I WASN'T TALKING
ABOUT MAX. LIGHTEN UP.
[Bell tolls]
YOU'RE ADMITTING IT.
YOU SET ME UP.
NO. I HAD TO PLAN
MY LECTURES.
ONLY AFTER YOU LEFT
DID I DECIDE
TO SHOW A FILM.
I KNEW YOU'D MAKE UP
SOME CHEAP EXCUSE.
NOW YOU'LL PAY.
HEY!
I WANT YOU TO REFLECT
ON WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE.
THINK ABOUT YOUR SYMBOLIC
VIOLENCE TOWARDS ME.
NONE OF THAT WOMEN'S
STUDIES 101 SHIT.
THIS IS
NO LAUGHING MATTER.
IT'S WOMAN-ON-WOMAN
VIOLENCE. IT'S VERY SAD.
YOU'RE STEERING
THE CONVERSATION
AWAY FROM WHAT YOU
DID TO ME.
I THOUGHT
AFTER YOU GOT PAST
YOUR SHALLOW
FASHION REQUIREMENTS,
YOU'D FIND ELY
INTERESTING.
KIA, INTERESTING?
LET ME GO OVER
THINGS ABOUT HER
THAT WORKED FOR ME--
DRESSES LIKE MY MAMMA
IN THE '70s,
HAD 100 DIFFERENT
KINDS OF TEA--ALL DECAF,
SHE LIKED
THAT STUPID MOVIE,
SHE'S NOT INTERESTED
IN HER OWN OPPRESSION,
AND LAST
AND MOST IMPORTANT,
SHE'S MARRIED.
TO KATE?
YOU KNEW SHE HAD
A GIRLFRIEND?
I THOUGHT THEY BROKE UP.
THEY LIVE APART.
2 YEARS
OF NOT LIVING
IN THE SAME CITY.
THEY'VE VISITED 3 TIMES.
KATE WAS IN MY CLASS.
WHEN?
A COUPLE YEARS
BEFORE YOU.
WHAT'S SHE LIKE--
A TOTAL HIPPIE?
I'M NOT STARTING
IN ON THIS.
TELL ME--REGULAR, CRUNCHY,
OR EXTRA CRUNCHY?
I WON'T SAY
IF SHE'S A HIPPIE,
BUT SHE DID MOVE
TO SEATTLE.
[Together]
EXTRA CRUNCHY.
IT DOESN'T MATTER
ANYWAY.
I REMAIN
AS I HAVE BEEN
FOR QUITE
SOME TIME--
A CAREFREE,
SINGLE LESBO.
[Together]
LOOKIN' FOR LOVE.
I THINK YOU GUYS
WOULD BE GOOD TOGETHER.
YEAH. THAT WOULD BE
THE LITTLE RELATIONSHIP
THAT COULD.
WHAT HAVE YOU
GOT TO LOSE?
KIA, THIS IS
SO WORTHLESS.
I WISH YOU'D ADMIT THAT.
WHY ARE THEY APART
IF THEY'RE SO IN LOVE?
YOU KNOW, SHE NEVER
MENTIONED LOVE.
IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE
BUSINESS PARTNERS.
EVEN WEIRDER,
THERE'S NO REASON
THEY SHOULD LIVE APART.
I THOUGHT ELY WAS
IN SCHOOL.
SHE TOLD ME
SHE QUIT.
SHE'S HANGING AROUND
KEEPING DARIA COMPANY?
I GUESS.
MAYBE ELY
AND DARIA...
EW! I DON'T THINK SO.
DARIA'S A HO.
YOU LEAVE DARIA ALONE.
WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER
OUR COLLECTIVE
LESBIAN IMAGE BE--
HOT, PASSIONATE,
SAY-YES-TO-SEX DYKES
OR TOUCHY-FEELY
SISTERS OF THE WOODLANDS?
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE ACKNOWLEDGE WOMEN
WHO ARE COMFORTABLE
WITH THEIR SEXUAL SELVES,
ESPECIALLY LESBIANS.
DARIA'S A POSITIVE
'90s ROLE MODEL,
AND ELY'S
BEHIND THE TIMES.
I DON'T THINK
THEY'RE DOING IT.
ELY SEEMS
TOO HONEST FOR THAT.
BESIDES, YOU KNOW, HER
AND KATE ARE MONOGAMOUS.
IT'S PROBABLY MORE
OUT OF FEAR AND INERTIA
THAN ON PRINCIPLE.
ELY'S ALWAYS BEEN TIMID.
YOU MEAN OF SEX?
IT SEEMS LESS GENERAL--
A FEAR OF INTIMACY.
SHE'S IN THIS
REALLY COMFY POSITION.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO
CONFRONT IT.
I GUESS
THAT MAKES SENSE.
I HATE THIS.
WHY IS IT ALWAYS
LIKE THIS?
I JUST WANT TO FIND
A GIRLFRIEND
AND HAVE THERE BE
NO CATCHES,
NO GLITCHES,
NO BOOBY TRAPS.
AS MUCH AS
WE JOKE ABOUT IT,
I REALLY JUST WANT TO
FIND A GIRLFRIEND.
I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW
COMPLICATED IT WOULD BE.
YOU SET ME UP.
YEAH.
I DESERVE IT.
HA HA HA!
NO, YOU DON'T
DESERVE IT.
WE DID GET ALONG,
DESPITE HER SEVERE CASE
OF HIPPIE-ITIS.
YOU KNOW
THE WORST THING,
THE THING THAT
TOTALLY MAKES IT SUCK?

AROUND 7:00.
OH, SHIT.
EVY, IS
SOMETHING WRONG?
IT'S FUCKED UP, MAX.
JUNIOR TOLD MY MOM
EVERYTHING.
SHE KICKED ME
OUT OF THE HOUSE.
HE FUCKING SET ME UP.
HE'S SITTING, WAITING
FOR SHIT TO COME DOWN.
HE KNOWS MY MOM WASN'T
GOING TO UNDERSTAND.
SHE NEVER WANTS
TO SEE MY FACE AGAIN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
HOLY SHIT.
WHERE THE FUCK IS KIA?
I'D LIKE TO GET
THAT GUY
AND GET
A PACK OF DYKES
AND CORNER HIM
IN AN ALLEY
AND MAKE HIM BEG US
NOT TO KILL HIM
AND THEN
KILL HIM ANYWAY.
WE SHOULD
SQUASH HIM.

GET REVENGE.

GETTING YOU
KICKED OUT

MAX, PLEASE,
BE QUIET.
YOU NEVER KNOW
WHEN TO BE QUIET.
I'M SORRY.
WHAT DO YOU
WANT ME TO DO?
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT GUY MUST JUST
HAVE NO FUCKING LIFE.
MAX. SHUT UP, MAX.
I CAN'T GET OVER

MAX, LISTEN

YOU CAN LIVE WITH US.
WE CAN BE
YOUR NEW FAMILY.
FINE.
MAN, ELY, YOU REALLY
GOT TO LOOSEN UP, GIRL--
CHILL OUT,
MAYBE GET LAID.
OOH, IS THAT
A PROPOSITION?
YEAH. NO,
REALLY, BABE,

START MATING AGAIN.
DARIA, I
HAVE A PARTNER.
YOU DO NOT.
YOU'VE GOT A GOOD EXCUSE,
AND IT'S GETTING WEAK.
LET'S NOT TALK
ABOUT IT.
I CAN'T DO THIS
NON-MONOGAMOUS,

IN ORDER TO BE
NON-MONOGAMOUS,
YOU HAVE TO

1 PERSON, RIGHT?

HIPNESS?

[Daria] SO WHAT HAPPENED?
DID YOU GO FOR IT?
I THINK
SHE'S TOTALLY HOT.

SHE SEEMS
KIND OF YOUNG.
SHE PROBABLY ONLY TRIED

DID SHE FAIL?
DID YOU GUYS SMOOCH?
DID SHE HUMP YOUR LEG?
WHAT HAPPENED?
1 LAME KISS,
