BRING IN THE PUSSY LIGHT.

YOU GOOD?

AND...

ACTION.

CHINA, GET STARTED, THERE.

AMBER, REALLY GET INTO IT.

GREAT. NOW IN
WALKS THE PRINCIPAL.

YOU READY, MAN, YOU GOT WOOD?

OKAY, SO AT FIRST, YOU'RE MAD.

GET IN THERE.

GIRLS, YOU'RE EMBARRASSED



AND SURPRISED.

NOW YOU'RE HOT.

NOW, CHINA, BLOW HIM.

POP ON HER FACE,
GIVE HER A FACIAL,

AND WHEN HE'S DONE THAT, CHINA,

LOOK UP AND SAY,
"THAT WAS GREAT."

THAT WAS GREAT.

THAT WAS GREAT.

OH, TINA.

OH...

IT'LL TAKE TIME,

BUT WE'LL GET THROUGH IT.

ALL RIGHT?

WE'LL GET THROUGH IT.



COME ON.

SO GLAD YOU CAME OVER.

SO... I'LL CALL YOU AFTER CLASS?

OKAY. HAVE A GOOD DAY.

BYE, TIM.

OH.

HI... TRISH.

HI.

UM...

I'M JUST ON MY WAY TO
THE GROCERY STORE...

UM, TO GET SOME BREAD...

FOR TOAST.

I'VE, UH...

I FORGOT MY WALLET AND MY KEYS,

SO I'M JUST GOING
TO GO GET THEM.

WHERE'S MY HEAD?

AND WHEN DOES IT START PREPPING?

MM-HMM.

GOOD.

MM-HMM.

SO WHEN DO I HAVE
TO GO TO VIRGINIA?

THAT'S EXCITING.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, THANKS, VAL.

YOU'RE GOING TO VIRGINIA?

AS THE PERSONAL
FOR DREW BARRYMORE.

IT'S A HUGE FASHION PICTURE,

AND MY BUDGET'S GOING TO
BE THREE TIMES WHAT IT WAS

ON DARKNESS.

THAT'S WONDERFUL...

BUT I WISH YOU HAD
DISCUSSED IT WITH ME

BEFORE MAKING THAT DECISION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THERE IS TO DISCUSS.

I GOT OFFERED A JOB.

I TOOK IT.

WHAT ABOUT OUR SUMMER HOLIDAY?

I WAS ORGANIZING
THE HOUSE IN HYDRA.

I NEVER SIGNED OFF ON HYDRA.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT I
DIDN'T SAY BOOK A HOUSE.

DID YOU BOOK A HOUSE?

I JUST WANT TO
SPEND TIME WITH YOU.

YOU'VE BEEN HERE SIX
WEEKS OUT OF AN ENTIRE YEAR.

DON'T YOU WANT TO
SPEND TIME TOGETHER?

COME AND BE WITH ME NOW.

COME ON.

NOW, THE FACT IS,

I CAN'T AFFORD NOT
TO TAKE THIS JOB.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW MUCH YOU OWE?

HMM?

A LOT.

SWEETHEART...

I WANT YOU TO HAVE
YOUR BEAUTIFUL DREAM.

THEN I HAVE TO GO TO WORK,

DON'T I?

TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

AND WHILE I'M GONE,

YOU CAN RESUME YOUR LITTLE THING

WITH JENNY.

I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT
TO BE HERE WITH ME NOW.

YOU WANT JENNY.

AND HE'S ROUGH, YOU KNOW?

IT'S, LIKE...

FUCKS ME, YOU KNOW?

IT'S HOT.

YEAH, THAT'S...
THAT'S WICKED HOT.

IT IS. IT REALLY IS,

BECAUSE THERE'S NOT THAT,

YOU KNOW, BULLSHIT,
OF, LIKE, YOU KNOW,

I'LL DO YOU, THEN YOU DO ME,

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'LL CHECK IN,

HAVE WE HAD EQUAL TIME?

ALL THAT CRAP.

YOU KNOW, AL, JUST BECAUSE
YOU'RE RIDING THE BIG FAT WEINIE

DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG

HEY, LOOK, NOW THAT
YOU'RE OUT BIG-TIME,

LET'S GIVE YOU A MULLET.

YES, COME ON.
HOCKEY HAIR'D BE HOT.

I DON'T THINK SHE'S
READY TO BE A BULL DYKE.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

THE THING IS, THOUGH, YOU GUYS,

I'VE, YOU KNOW,

I'VE ONLY SLEPT WITH HIM,

WHAT, LIKE, FIVE TIMES,

SO IF I'M LATE...

YOU'RE LATE?

FOR MY PERIOD.

I'M SURE YOU LEARNED
IN FIFTH GRADE

THAT THAT'S PART OF YOUR

REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE.

WHOA, WHOA.

SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, THEN?

I'M SAYING, IF I'M LATE,

IT WOULDN'T BE ANDREW'S.

WELL, WOULD IT BE LISA'S?

WOW.

WELL, HE'D BE THE
FIRST LESBO IN HISTORY

EVER TO PULL THAT ONE OFF.

SHIT.

OH, SO ACCORDING TO THE CAC,

THE WORLD THAT WE
LIVE IN IS A GODLESS ONE.

AND ART REFLECTS THAT.

IT MIRRORS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.

DO YOU THINK THE FACT
THAT YOU'RE HOMOSEXUAL

MAKES YOU MORALLY BANKRUPT?

I AM A PERVERT...

AND ONLY A PERVERT
COULD SHOW THIS WORK.

I DIDN'T KNOW IT
WAS BEING TAPED.

ANYWAY, THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAID.

SHE TWISTED IT.

THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.

AND YOU CAN BE SURE

THAT THIS TAPE HAS BEEN SENT

TO EVERY CONSERVATIVE
CONGRESSMAN,

ALONG WITH THIS
LOVELY DOCUMENT...

A LIFE-SIZE PAINTING

OF THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES

IN AN SS UNIFORM,

JESUS SODOMIZING MARY,

AND THIS IS A DOOZY...

THIS IS A LIVE
PERFORMANCE PIECE.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS ART?

ABSOLUTELY.

WE PUT IT TO A VOTE, BERT.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT EXHIBITION,

AND THE MUSEUM STANDS BEHIND IT.

OKAY.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN
HOW TO DEAL WITH FAE BUCKLEY.

SHE WAS CAUGHT OFF-GUARD, BERT.

IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE.

AS YOUR COUNSEL, I CAN TELL YOU

THAT THEY WILL TRY TO GET
AT YOU ON LEGAL GROUNDS.

NOW, THE LAW IS PRETTY
MUCH ON YOUR SIDE RIGHT NOW.

HOWEVER, THE
POLITICAL CLIMATE IS NOT.

THERE'S TWO WAYS TO GO.

ONE, THEY RANT AND RAVE
WHILE WE LOOK THE OTHER WAY.

WE DO NOT ENGAGE.

THAT IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING,

SITTING WITH OUR HANDS
FOLDED IN OUR LAPS

WHILE THEY CALL US
PORNOGRAPHERS AND PEDOPHILES.

THE OTHER STRATEGY IS
TO MEET THEM HEAD-ON,

DUKE IT OUT.

I WANT TO CHALLENGE
FAE BUCKLEY TO A DEBATE.

THE WOMAN'S A GLADIATOR
IN THE PUBLIC ARENA.

SHE'S BRILLIANT.

SHE PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS WINS.

LET'S DO IT.

FUCK...

WHAT AM I GONNA DO IF
I'M FUCKING PREGNANT?

GET AN ABORTION, AL.

OR GIVE THE BABY
TO BETTE AND TINA.

WHAT, WE'RE
ALREADY LIKE A FAMILY.

IT WOULD BE LIKE THE
KID BELONGS TO ALL OF US.

SO INSTEAD OF HEATHER
HAS TWO MOMMIES,

HEATHER HAS SIX MOMMIES?

NO, BETTE AND TINA
WOULD BE THE MOMS,

BUT WE'D ALL BE CONNECTED,
BECAUSE OF HOW IT WENT DOWN...

LOOK, DANA,

THIS IS GONNA BE
ENTIRELY NATURAL, OKAY?

OKAY, AS LONG AS IT'S
NOT TOO, LIKE, CRAZY,

OR, YOU KNOW...

ALL RIGHT, OR TOO
COOL. I HEAR YOU.

BUT THINK ABOUT IT.

WE'D BE THE KID'S
EXTENDED FAMILY.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, SHANE.

LOOK, THERE'S NO
BIGGER KARMIC BLESSING

THAN DOING SOMETHING
ENTIRELY SELFLESS

FOR ANOTHER PERSON.

I'M SERIOUS.

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE
SUPPORT FOR ME?

TINA, BETTE WOULD
HAVE HIRED SOMEBODY

TO DO THIS FOR YOU.

I WOULD HAVE DONE IT FOR YOU.

I'M NOT GOING TO...

COME TO YOUR... SHOW TONIGHT.

I'M SORRY. I CAN'T.

HEY, IT'S OKAY.

I'M SURE BETTE WILL COME.

TINA, I WOULDN'T WANT YOU

TO DO ANYTHING

YOU'RE NOT UP TO DOING...

BUT DON'T YOU THINK
IT'D BE GOOD FOR YOU

TO GET OUT?

IT'S GREAT.

I LOOK GOOD, RIGHT?

YOU LOOK HOT.

YOU LOOK EXCELLENT.

LOOK AT THIS.

FROM THE NECK UP.

I MEAN, WE REALLY
HAVE TO DO SOMETHING

ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WE'VE GOT TO TAKE
HER TO FRED SEGAL.

I GOT THESE AT FRED SEGAL.

SHANE...

MADAME CHERIE, LINE THREE.

SHE REQUIRES YOUR ATTENTION

IMMEDIATEMENT.

HELLO.

HI.

HI.

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?

IT'S A SECRET.

OKAY.

LET'S GO.

WELL?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHY WE'RE HERE.

STEVE AND HARRY OWN
MOST OF THIS BLOCK.

THEY'RE DEVELOPING IT,

AND I'VE CONVINCED
STEVE TO INVEST IN YOU.

SO YOU CAN OPEN YOUR OWN SHOP.

NO WAY.

BUT YOU CAN'T TELL HIM THAT
I BROUGHT YOU HERE, OKAY?

ISN'T IT JUST OOZING
WITH POTENTIAL?

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT...

I MEAN, IT'S
UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE.

I MEAN, I THINK I'D KEEP THIS
LIKE THE OLD BARBERSHOP.

NO BIG RECEPTION
DESK OR ANYTHING.

JUST THE CUTTING
STATIONS RIGHT HERE...

AND THIS COULD BE
THE WAITING AREA

WHERE THEY HAVE
SOFAS AND TABLES.

I SEE IT MID-CENTURY MODERNE,

KIND OF KITSCHY, BUT CHIC.

HMM...

I'M THINKING POOL TABLE...

AND UP HERE IT COULD
BE THE COLORING

OR SHAMPOO STATIONS.

SHANE...

YEAH?

LOOK AT THIS.

AH, FUCK.

YES, PLEASE.

I KNOW I WAS ONLY 12 WEEKS...

BUT I FEEL LIKE I LOST SOMEONE
I WAS WITH MY WHOLE LIFE...

MY BABY BOY.

JUST LAST WEEK,

WE FOUND OUT THAT IT
WAS GOING TO BE A BOY.

YOU'LL TRY AGAIN.

I KNOW IT'S HARD
TO THINK ABOUT IT

RIGHT NOW,

BUT YOU'LL TRY AGAIN.

I KNOW THAT TINA'S DEVASTATED.

FRANKLY, THAT'S THE WAY
SHE SHOULD BE FEELING.

SHE'S GRIEVING.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU, BETTE.

I SEE YOU STEADY AND STRONG,

LETTING TINA LEAN ON YOU.

HAS IT SUNK IN FOR YOU YET?

HAVE YOU CRIED?

BELIEVE ME, IT'S SUNK IN.

BUT KAREN ASKED YOU
A SPECIFIC QUESTION.

HAVE YOU CRIED?

I DON'T NEED TO CRY.

I WANT TO SEE SOME
EPISODES OF INSIGHT.

CAN YOU GET ME SOME
TAPES TOMORROW MORNING?

TINA, TINA, HI.

NOW'S THE TIME, YOU KNOW?

WHEN SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS,

AND YOU FEEL
YOURSELF BEING SUCKED

INTO THAT BLACK PIT OF DESPAIR,

IT'S TIME TO GET
OUTSIDE YOURSELF

AND FORCE YOURSELF

TO DO SOMETHING FOR PEOPLE

WHO CAN'T EVEN TELL
YOU WHAT DESPAIR IS,

BECAUSE IT'S ALL
THEY'VE EVER KNOWN.

I'LL BE THERE ALL DAY TOMORROW.

WHAT DID HE WANT?

HE WANTS ME TO VOLUNTEER.

HMM, MAYBE YOU
SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.

MAYBE IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU.

YEAH.

DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT

TO KIT'S SHOW?

BABE, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO.

I TOLD KIT. SHE UNDERSTANDS.

EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME, CAN I GET...

THIS IS SO FUNNY.

I HAD GROUP TODAY.

YOU MISS MY ASS?

YOU GUYS HAVE A WHOLE SESSION
TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL

ABOUT ME GETTING
THE HELL OUT OF THERE?

BUT I ADMIT IT'S NOT AS
INTENSE WITHOUT YOU.

WHAT?

THIS IS THE LAST PLACE ON
EARTH YOU'D EXPECT TO SEE ME.

I JUST NEVER FIGURED
YOU TO BE A KIT PORTER FAN.

SHE'S MY SISTER.

EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME.

HEY, HERE YOU GO.

OH, MEET MY EX.

BETTE PORTER, THIS
IS, UH, CANDACE JEWELL.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

DO YOU WANT TO SIT
WITH ME AT MY TABLE?

IT'S JUST ME

AND A COUPLE OF
MY SISTER'S FRIENDS.

HEY, WHERE'S TINA, BY THE WAY?

SHE WASN'T FEELING WELL.

HEY...

HEY, BABY SIS.

THIS IS YOLANDA AND CANDACE.

THIS IS SLIM DADDY.

HI, NICE TO MEET YOU.

HEY, BEAUTIFUL.

AND NOW,

PLEASE PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER.

TOGETHER, TOGETHER,
TOGETHER, FOR...

KIT PORTER!

WHOO-HOO!

WHOO!

THIS, THIS IS SO COOL.

IT'S OVERWHELMING.

I... I THINK I NEED A DRINK.

I WAS JUST KIDDING, BABY SISTER.

MY BABY SISTER
IS IN HERE TONIGHT,

AND SHE HAS HELPED ME GO
DOWN THAT STRAIGHT AND NARROW.

IN THE HOUSE
TONIGHT IS SLIM DADDY!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT TO SAY,

BUT THERE'S NO
ONE LIKE THIS WOMAN.

KIT PORTER IS A REAL,
MOTHERFUCKIN' DIVA.

Y'ALL GO ON, GIVE IT UP FOR KIT.

I RESPECT THAT SHE'S YOUR WOMAN.

SHE'S NOT.

YOU MET MY WOMAN.

OH, RIGHT, RIGHT.

WELL, I STILL THINK THE
TWO OF YOU WOULD, UH...

YOU KNOW...

YEAH. LORD, HAVE MERCY ON ME.

I PASS THE CALIFORNIA ART
CENTER EVERY MORNING.

I'M DOING A JOB
RIGHT NEAR THERE.

WHAT KIND OF JOB?

MY PARTNER AND I ARE
DOING THE FINISH CARPENTRY

ON A LOFT IN VENICE
WE'VE BEEN REMODELING.

YOU'RE A CARPENTER?

HEY...

SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO HANG OUT

WITH US TONIGHT, BABY SIS?

WE GOT EVERYTHING FOR
EVERYONE WHO NEEDS ANYTHING.

YEAH, I'M SURE.

I'VE GOT TO GET HOME.

WELL, I GUESS I'LL DREAM
ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU...

BECAUSE I GOT
THAT BASIC INSTINCT

ABOUT YOU.

DON'T YOU GET MY SISTER

INTO ANY TROUBLE.

I CAN HANDLE IT.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, WELL...

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

LISTEN, I SHOULD
REALLY GET HOME.

IT WAS NICE RUNNING INTO YOU.

YEAH.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

YOU SHOULD COME BY AND
CHECK OUT THE MUSEUM

ONE DAY ON YOUR LUNCH BREAK.

YEAH.

OKAY.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

NO, I'LL GET IT.

THE WAIT STAFF ARE SO SLOW.

THEY'RE USELESS.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT.

IT'S THEIR JOB.

WELL, THEY'RE BUSY.
I'M HELPING THEM.

YOU'RE CODDLING THEM.

WE DIDN'T ORDER...

DID ONE OF YOU ORDER THAT?

IT'S A GIFT FROM ME.

I WANT TO BE IN
PARIS THIS MORNING.

AND I WANT TO BE
IN PROFIT SOME DAY.

IT'S MY TREAT. ENJOY.

PUT IT ON THE BOOKS.

KATE MOSS, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

LOOK AT YOU.

YEAH.

IF I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS YOU,

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
SOMEONE HOT JUST WALKED IN.

SHUT UP.

I FEEL STUPID.

YOU LOOK SO SEXY, DANA.

OH, SHUT UP.

REALLY, YOU LIKE THE 'DO?

YEAH, GREAT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

ME?

YEAH.

DRINKING COFFEE.

OH, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

BETTE AND TINA WOULD KILL YOU,

RIGHT, SHANE?

BETTE AND TINA WOULD KILL HER,

BECAUSE SHE'S DR...

I...

AH, FUCK, I'M SORRY.

ALICE MIGHT BE PREGNANT.

"MIGHT" BEING THE
WORD I'M CLINGING ONTO.

AND WE JUST THOUGHT...

WE THOUGHT IT WAS
KARMICALLY DESTINED,

BECAUSE BETTE AND TINA
WANTED A BABY SO BADLY.

YOU MEAN, YOU
WOULD HAVE A BABY...

AND BETTE AND TINA WOULD
ADOPT IT, RIGHT, SHANE?

YEAH, BUT...

OH, MY GOD.

HEY, LOOK, YOU
CAN'T SAY ANYTHING,

BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW AND...

YEAH, AND YOU MIGHT
BE MISREADING THE KARMA

OR SOMETHING.

OH, THE KARMA. YEAH.

DO YOU KNOW

WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY
GIFT THAT WOULD BE?

YEAH, THEY'RE MAKING
SUPER SURE I KNOW THAT.

NOT JUST TO BETTE AND TINA,

BUT TO ALL OF US.

THE WHOLE DNA MODEL OF
FAMILY IS BEING REINVENTED.

WE'RE MAKING A NEW WORLD

THAT REFLECTS THE WAY WE LOVE

AND MAKE RELATIONSHIPS AND...

I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT
REFLECTED SOMEWHERE.

WHAT?

UM...

I'M GONNA TAKE CARE
OF THIS TODAY, OKAY?

OH, IT'S MINE!

HEY, NO, NO, NO,

I HAVE A TAB TO
PAY. I'M PAYING IT.

I'M GONNA GO CHECK
OUT THIS RAW SPACE

WITH STEVE JAFFE, BECAUSE...

YEAH?

YEAH, HE'S TALKING ABOUT

OPENING UP MY OWN SALON.

NO WAY!

YOU GOING TO CALL
IT "SHANE", SHANE?

YEAH, I'M GOING TO GO.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

BYE.

HEY, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

SEE YOU.

BYE.

HEY, THERE'S A LINE
AT THE COUNTER.

MARINA...

THERE'S A LINE.

THERE SEEMS TO BE

A COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN.

SHANE? YEAH?

HOLD UP.

I'LL SEE YOU GUYS LATER.

I'VE GOT TO GO,

AND THANK YOU FOR
ALL THE CROISSANTS,

AND THE COFFEE I COULDN'T DRINK.

AREN'T YOU LATE FOR SOMETHING?

BYE. YES.

UH, WAIT FOR ME!

THANK YOU.

BYE. YOU LOOK GREAT.

BYE, THANKS.

IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU WANT TO SAY?

NO.

YOU PICK A FIGHT WITH ME

AND THEN YOU MAKE LIKE
YOU'RE... YOU'RE HURT,

OR VICTIMIZED.

YOU WANT SOMEONE TO
COME TO YOUR RESCUE?

MAYBE.

WHO, MARINA?

I ALREADY RESCUED YOU.

REMEMBER?

HEY... HEY...

COME ON, WE'LL TAKE THE JAG.

ALL RIGHT.

HOPE YOU DON'T MIND,

WE'RE GOING TO DROP MY DAUGHTER

ON THIRD STREET

SO SHE CAN KILL A COUPLE
HUNDRED OF MY HARD-EARNED BUCKS

ON AN OUTFIT THAT
LOOKS LIKE IT CAME

FROM THE SALVATION
ARMY REJECT BIN.

OH...

THAT'S FINE.

I WAS HOPING YOU MIGHT

HANG OUT WITH CLEA FOR A WHILE.

JUST SOMETHING.

WELL...

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

SHE QUIT COLLEGE
AFTER SIX MONTHS.

SHE'S FLAILING.

I THOUGHT MAYBE

YOU COULD SPEND A LITTLE TIME

WITH HER TODAY.

SHE MIGHT OPEN UP TO YOU.

JUST AN INSTINCT I HAVE.

I DON'T KNOW, STEVE, IT'S...

I WOULD CONSIDER IT A FAVOR.

OH, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

YES, NO, I'VE CHECKED THAT.

I'M CHECKING IT TWICE
RIGHT NOW, ACTUALLY.

THAT WE'RE A NON-PROFIT
ORGANIZATION?

IT'S A TAX WRITEOFF?

WELL, THEN, YOU SHOULD
LET HIM KNOW THAT WE...

WE'RE WAITING FOR HIM.

WE GOT A GRANT
TO HIRE A LAW FIRM.

SO NOW MORE THAN 50,000 L.A.
GARMENT INDUSTRY WORKERS

HAVE HEALTH BENEFITS
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

THAT WAS OUR BIGGEST PROJECT.

MOSTLY WE DEAL WITH VERY
HUMAN-SCALE STUFF, YOU KNOW.

HEY, I WANTED TO TELL YOU...

WE ALSO HAVE

A GAY AND LESBIAN ALLIANCE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING

YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN, OR...

UM, I THINK I'D LIKE
TO DO SOMETHING...

WITH KIDS.

UNDERPRIVILEGED
OR AT-RISK CHILDREN.

OKAY, OKAY.

OYE, ESAI. COMO ESTA?

COMO ESTA? BIEN.

ESAI HERE IS WORKING
WITH THESE GUYS

TO BRING DOWN CLAY PATTERSON.

HE'S THE TELEVANGELIST

WHOSE REFINERY IS GIVING CANCER

TO HUNDREDS OF KIDS
IN THE SOUTH L.A. HOOD.

OH, HE'S A BASTARD.

HE GETS AROUND EVERY
COURT INJUNCTION.

SOME CHRISTIAN, HUH?

HAVE YOU EVER COME
ACROSS A WOMAN

NAMED FAE BUCKLEY?

BEN COUGHLIN JUST
RESIGNED FROM OUR BOARD.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

YESTERDAY IN THE MAIL HE
GOT 62 INDIVIDUAL LETTERS

WITH HIS COMPANY CREDIT
CARD CHOPPED IN PIECES...

FROM PEOPLE WHO DON'T
WANT TO BUY OFFICE SUPPLIES

FROM A BLASPHEMING PORNOGRAPHER.

SHALL WE GET BACK TO WORK?

ORGANS OF DEAD
ANIMALS DECOMPOSING,

A MAN STRANGLING HIMSELF

WHILE MASTURBATING...

YOU CALL THAT ART, MS. PORTER?

THOSE ARE INFLAMMATORY
DESCRIPTIONS,

MS. BUCKLEY,

OF BUT A FEW WORKS OF ART

IN A MUCH LARGER EXHIBITION.

YEAH, BUT YOU DIDN'T
ANSWER THE QUESTION.

WHAT MAKES THAT ART?

EXCUSE ME.

I'M SORRY, I HAVE TO TAKE IT.

IT'S TINA.

SHE'S BEEN HAVING A ROUGH TIME.

BABY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M WITH OSCAR.

OSCAR ALVAREZ.

I'M RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF...

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE

WHAT HE DOES HERE.

YOU HAVE TO COME BY.

BABE...

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE

WHAT WE FOUND ON FAE BUCKLEY.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING?

FAE BUCKLEY RESEARCH?

YEAH. DO YOU KNOW SHE WAS ONE

OF THE MAIN PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE

FOR GETTING THAT TEACHER FIRED

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI?

YEAH, THEY TRUMPED
UP CHILD PORN CHARGES

BASED ON PICTURES
OF HER THREE-YEAR-OLD

I'VE BEEN DOING
THIS ALL DAY, TINA.

I MEAN, I'VE HAD OUR
HIGHLY-PAID PR FIRM

WORKING WITH ME.

MY PEOPLE AREN'T SLOUCHES.

LOOK, THIS IS WHAT
OSCAR DOES, OKAY?

JUST LISTEN.

IS THERE A PROBLEM?

I THOUGHT THIS
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

ABOUT TINA FINDING
SOMETHING OF HER OWN.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE ABOUT HELPING TINA

GET OUT OF A BAD DEPRESSION.

YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK AT THIS.

I THINK YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE

MIGHT FIND THIS
PRETTY INTERESTING.

HEY...

CLEA'LL BE RIGHT OUT.

NOW, I WANT YOU TO KNOW,
I WILL NOT FORGET THIS.

NOW, CHERIE'S PLANNING THIS
BIG MOTHER-DAUGHTER TRIP

TO PARIS.

YOU SHOULD HEAR HER

MAKING ALL THESE ARRANGEMENTS.

SOUNDS LIKE SHE'S PLANNING

THE CAMP DAVID SUMMIT.

NOW, CLEA DOESN'T WANT GO.

SEE IF YOU CAN'T
CHANGE HER MIND.

HAVE A GOOD TIME, SWEETHEART.

LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS LAME,

BUT YOUR FATHER ASKED
ME TO DO THIS, OKAY?

CRAP.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

THIS SHOULD BE PRETTY EASY.

MM-HMM.

SHIT!

FUCK ME!

SORRY.

NICE WORK.

CAN I GO ONE MORE?

YEAH.

MAN, I HAVEN'T PLAYED THIS GAME

SINCE I WAS, LIKE,
SEVEN YEARS OLD.

NO?

NO.

I NEVER DID THIS AS A KID.

WHAT, YOUR PARENTS
NEVER TOOK YOU?

NO, THEY WEREN'T AROUND.

I MET MY MOM ONCE.

WOW, YOU DIDN'T LIVE WITH HER?

NO.

WOW.

CAN I, UH,

CAN I SHOW YOU SOMETHING?

DO YOU MIND?

SURE.

MAY I SHOW YOU SOMETHING...

SURE.

BEFORE YOU HIT THE BALL,

IF YOU TRY BOUNCING A FEW TIMES.

BOUNCE?

YEAH, WELL... YOU
WANT TO TRY IT?

SURE.

OKAY, READY?

RIGHT. ONE, TWO THREE.

AH, WELL.

JUST ABOUT.

NICE, NICE THOUGH.

YEAH, IT WAS A GREAT
TECHNIQUE, THOUGH.

IT'S ALMOST THERE.

SMART-ASS.

AH, WELL.

SHUT UP.

"HERE CUMS THE PRINCIPAL"?

C-U-M-S.

WHAT IS THIS?

OKAY, HANG ON, HANG ON...

JUST, JESUS, JUST TURN IT OFF.

I MEAN, REALLY,

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME?

THAT FAE BUCKLEY
PRODUCES PORNO VIDEOS?

NO, NO, NO NO...

THERE. SEE THAT
GIRL RIGHT THERE?

SHE'S 17.

SHE RAN AWAY FROM
HOME WHEN SHE WAS 14.

APPARENTLY, HER FATHER WAS
ABUSING THE HELL OUT OF HER,

AND HER MOTHER COULDN'T
OR WOULDN'T STOP HIM.

CHILD SERVICES REPORT WE PULLED

HAS ALL THE GORY DETAILS,

BUT HER PORN-STAR NAME IS CHINA,

HER GIVEN NAME IS CORA BUCKLEY.

I KNOW THEY KNOW THAT I'M GAY,

I JUST REALLY DON'T WANT

TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH THEM.

AH, THEY'RE SUCH PERVS.

WELL, WHY ARE THEY PERVS?

WELL, THEY HAVE THIS CABINET

THAT THEY NORMALLY KEEP LOCKED

IN THE MEDIA ROOM.

ANYWAY, ONE NIGHT THEY GOT DRUNK

AND LEFT SOME STUFF OUT,

AND CONSUELA WAS CLEANING

THE NEXT DAY

AND JUST HAPPENED TO
PUSH PLAY ON THE VCR,

AND UP POPS MY MOM,
BUCK NAKED, OKAY?

RIDING MY DAD,

WHIPPING HIM WITH A SWITCH.

IT WAS PRETTY GROSS.

YOU KNOW, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO...

YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE IT
TO YOUR FOLKS, I MEAN,

THEY WANT TO KEEP
THEIR LIFE INTERESTING...

AND THEY STILL
WANT TO GET IT ON.

GOD...

YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER MET ANYONE

LIKE YOU BEFORE.

THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY
A VERY GOOD THING.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR PARENTS.

LIKE, HOW COME YOU
DIDN'T LIVE WITH THEM?

NO. NO.

NO, I...

NO, I CAN'T DO THAT.

IT'S NOT RIGHT.

BECAUSE THAT'S NOT
WHAT YOUR DAD HAD IN MIND

WHEN HE ASKED ME
TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.

GOD, I DON'T CARE.

LOOK, CLEA...

LOOK, I'M INVOLVED IN
A FEW THINGS THAT I...

I... I JUST... I DON'T WANT...

WHAT, LIKE DRUGS?

WHAT?

YEAH, THAT'S PART OF IT.

WHAT IF IT'S NOT TRUE?

NO, WE GOT AHOLD OF
THE POLICE RECORDS,

AND THE MISSING PERSONS REPORT.

WE HAVE EVIDENCE OF FAE

PAYING OFF A
DISTRICT COURT JUDGE

TO EXPUNGE THE RECORD.

WELL, THEN WHY HAS
IT NEVER COME OUT?

BECAUSE OUR PEOPLE DON'T
KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME.

WE'RE PROGRESSIVES,

AND WE'RE ACCUSED OF
BEING MORALLY BANKRUPT.

THEY HAVE SO MANY FUCKING
SKELETONS IN THEIR CLOSETS,

AND WE DON'T TOUCH THEM.

WE TAKE THE HIGH ROAD,
WE WIND UP IN THE DITCH.

WE LEAVE OUR DIRTY LAUNDRY
HANGING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE,

BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
SO ASHAMED OF IT.

THEY GRAB IT, AND
THEY WAVE IT AROUND,

THEY MAKE US LOOK LIKE PERVERTS.

WE HAVE TO GET
INTO THEIR CLOSETS.

WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP
ON BEING SO HIGH-MINDED,

BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING KILLED.

HEY...

HI!

DANA, RIGHT?

JENNY. JENNY.

ARE YOU ALONE?

YEAH.

CAN I SIT WITH YOU?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, COME ON.

HERE, SIT.

I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN
TO A BAR BEFORE?

NO, A WOMEN'S BAR...

BY MYSELF.

OH. ME NEITHER.

OH, YEAH?

YEAH.

WELL, ALICE WAS
SUPPOSED TO COME WITH ME,

BUT HER BOYFRIEND CALLED, SO...

ALICE IS BISEXUAL?

YEAH.

THIS IS LIKE SOMETHING
OUT OF THE 1950s.

IT'S SO BUTCH AND FEMME.

I KNOW.

WELL, IT'S THE OLDEST
LESBIAN BAR IN L.A.

ACTUALLY, IT PROBABLY
HASN'T CHANGED SINCE THE '50s...

BUT, REALLY, IT'S NO DIFFERENT
THAN ANY OTHER CLUB,

YOU KNOW, I MEAN,

YOU HAVE A FEW DRINKS, YOU KNOW,

TALK TO A FEW PEOPLE YOU
HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH...

REALIZE HOW UNLIKELY IT IS

YOU'LL EVER MEET ANYONE
WHO'S RIGHT FOR YOU AGAIN.

SO YOU HAVE MET SOMEONE
THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU?

WE BROKE UP.

IT'S MESSY.

I KNOW THAT.

NO, NO, NO, IT'S NO PROBLEM.

YEAH.

IT'S FINE.

IT'S SMALL.

THERE AREN'T, UH, TOO
MANY PLACES TO SIT.

OH, SORRY.

SO YOU'RE A TENNIS PLAYER?

MM-HMM.

WHAT'S THAT LIKE?

I TRAIN A LOT.

WOW, THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING.

I GO ON TOUR.

OH, WOW.

YEAH.

YEAH.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DRINK.

DO YOU WANT JUICE?

SURE.

OKAY.

SO THIS IS WHERE YOU WRITE?

YEAH, YEAH, I, UH...

I PRETTY MUCH DO EVERYTHING
IN HERE, AS YOU CAN SEE.

IT USED TO BE MY WRITING STUDIO,

BUT, YOU KNOW, AFTER
THAT THING WITH TIM AND I...

OH, RIGHT. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

MM-HMM.

SO HE'S LETTING ME
STAY HERE, SO FAR...

AND I PAY HIM RENT,

WHICH IS KIND OF WEIRD.

YEAH.

OH, GOSH.

OH, SH... I'M SO SORRY.

OH, NO, NO...

OH, GOD.

NO, NO, NO. GOSH.

GIVE THEM TO ME,

I'LL GET THEM DRY CLEANED.

NO, NO, IT'S OKAY...

I KNOW THERE'S WORSE
STUFF ON IT THAN THAT.

OH...

OKAY.

HERE...

OOF!

UM...

JUST, UM...

OOH!

OKAY.

OOF! DAMN!

OH, I'M SORRY. DID THAT HURT?

NO, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

AH, HERE.

IT'S OKAY.

UM, YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T, UH...

WHAT? IS THIS NO GOOD?

YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU GET ON TOP?

OKAY, HERE, HERE.

OOH...

HERE.

OW!

THAT'S OKAY.

THIS IS A REALLY BAD IDEA...

ISN'T IT?

IT'S REALLY BAD.

MAYBE WE SHOULD STOP

BEFORE IT GETS TOO GRIM.

I THINK SO.

MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST BE FRIENDS

OR SOMETHING...

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

I'LL JUST GRAB THIS.

OKAY.

OH, GOD...

I AM SO PMS.

IT'S GOOD TO GET OFF MY FEET.

I HAVE SO MANY
FUNCTIONS THIS MONTH.

STEVE AND I ARE THE CO-CHAIRS

OF THE "I HAVE A DREAM" GALA...

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I'VE BEEN DYING TO GET

THESE CHROME HEARTS
MOTORCYCLE BOOTS.

THEY WOULD LOOK AMAZING ON YOU.

BABY, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU...

I GOT YOU A PRESENT.

NO...

I CAN'T.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS, TRY IT ON.

I CAN'T.

LOOK, CHERIE,

IF I'M GOING TO DO BUSINESS

WITH YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND,

I'M NOT GETTING INVOLVED

IN YOUR MARRIAGE.

I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO
BREAK UP WITH ME, ARE YOU?

BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE...

A VERY, VERY BAD THING TO DO.

DO YOU LIKE FUCKING ME, SHANE?

I LOVE IT.

STEVE WILL NEVER FIND OUT.

I'M NOT WEARING ANY UNDERWEAR.

I KNOW. I CAN SEE THAT.

YOU'RE CRAZY.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

UH, DOES IT LACK...

OKAY, DOES IT LACK...

DOES IT LACK...

DOES IT LACK SERIOUS LITERARY,

ARTISTIC, POLITICAL,
OR SCIENTIFIC VALUE?

GOOD.

INSIGHT'S JUST DOWN
HERE ON STAGE FOUR.

NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO

WHEN SHE BAITS YOU?

SO, MISS PORTER,

WHY ARE YOU SUCH
AN ANGRY LESBIAN?

MS. BUCKLEY, WHY ARE YOU

SUCH A LYING, SCHEMING BIGOT?

OKAY, SORRY.

MS. BUCKLEY,

I DON'T DENY I AM A LESBIAN,

AND IT MAKES ME ANGRY

WHEN PEOPLE WHO
HAVEN'T TAKEN THE TIME

TO SEE THE WORK

DISTORT AND MISREPRESENT IT

TO THE PUBLIC AND TO THE MEDIA.

IS THAT BETTER?

IT'S A LITTLE COMBATIVE,

BUT IT'S GOOD.

OKAY, WAIT.

WHAT ELSE ARE WE FORGETTING?

WHAT ELSE ARE WE FORGETTING?

OKAY, WE DID CRITICAL THINKING,

FIRST AMENDMENT,

CENSORSHIP IN AMERICA.

THERE'S THE KUROSAWA QUOTE.

WHAT IS THE KUROSAWA QUOTE?

OKAY, "NEVER AVERT YOUR EYES..."

BABY, YOU ARE SO PREPARED.

JUST RELAX.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

OKAY?

YOU'RE GOING TO BE GREAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING HERE WITH ME.

I KNOW HOW HARD IT
IS FOR YOU RIGHT NOW

JUST TO GET OUT OF BED

IN THE MORNING.

I'M GOING TO BE OKAY.

I KNOW.

LET'S DO THIS IN
FRONT OF FAE BUCKLEY.

I'M THERE.

TIM, NO!

COME ON.

I'M GOING TO GET YOU WITH THIS.

JESUS CHRIST, IT WAS
HARD ENOUGH FINDING THIS...

BETTE!

I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU.

I HAVE REALLY BEEN
LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.

YES, SO HAVE I.

GOOD, I SEE YOU'VE MET.

BETTE PORTER.

WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

NICE TO HAVE YOU AGAIN.

OH, I'M SO GLAD TO BE HERE.

DARLA WILL BE OUT
IN A FEW MINUTES

TO TAKE YOU BOTH TO MAKEUP.

I'LL SEE YOU ON SET.

IT MUST BE HARD
FOR MAKEUP PEOPLE

TO FIND YOUR COLOR.

IT'S SO IN-BETWEEN.

I GUESS DARLA WILL HAVE TO MIX.

WHAT DID SHE MEAN BY THAT?

SHE WAS LETTING YOU KNOW

THAT SHE KNOWS PERSONAL
DETAILS ABOUT YOU.

SHE KNOWS YOU'RE HALF BLACK.

IS THAT A CRIME NOW?

NO, SHE WAS TRYING
TO PSYCHE YOU OUT.

I CAN SEE THAT IT WORKED.

LOOK, BETTE...

THE BOARD IS FINE WITH IT,

I'M FINE WITH IT.

IF YOU WANT TO USE THAT VIDEO...

WAIT A SECOND.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I PROMISE.

HELLO?

HI.

OKAY, TIM.

WE NEED TO TALK.

CAN'T IT WAIT?

NO, NO, NO. IT CAN'T WAIT,

BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

EVERY MINUTE THAT GOES BY,

YOU'RE GOING TO GET INTO
DEEPER AND DEEPER TROUBLE.

YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN'T
BE DATING A STUDENT.

LOOK, JENNY, IT'S NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.

I KNOW IT'S NONE OF
MY BUSINESS, OKAY?

BUT WHAT IF RANDY
WERE TO FIND OUT, TIM?

TIM...

COME ON, OPEN THE DOOR.

COME ON!

IF RANDY WERE TO WHAT, HUH?

CAN YOU COME IN, PLEASE?

DON'T.

I'M NOT GOING TO DO THIS
IN FRONT OF HER, OKAY?

JENNY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT.

STAY OUT OF MY LIFE.

NO.

WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO, JENNY, HUH?

YOU GONNA FUCKING REPORT ME?

FUCK YOU.

YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY

THAT FUCKING TREACHEROUS.

I HAVE WITH ME BETTE PORTER,

THE DIRECTOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA ART CENTER,

THE MUSEUM THAT IS MOUNTING

THE CONTROVERSIAL
ART EXHIBITION,

PROVOCATIONS,

AND FAE BUCKLEY

OF THE COALITION OF
CONCERNED CITIZENS,

THE GROUP THAT IS
LEADING THE EFFORTS

TO SHUT DOWN THE EXHIBITION...

SHE NEEDS TO LOOSEN UP.

SHE SHOULD SMILE.

EVERY TIME SOMETHING
DOESN'T GO THEIR WAY,

THEY CRY FASCISM.

AND I'M SORRY

THIS HAD TO HAPPEN
IN FRONT OF YOU,

BUT IF YOU REALLY
CARE ABOUT HIM,

YOU'RE GOING TO BACK OFF, OKAY?

LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, JENNY.

NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS
WOULD BELIEVE FOR A SECOND

THAT YOU GIVE A SHIT
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO ME.

ARE YOU, IN FACT,

BETRAYING THE PUBLIC TRUST?

ON THE CONTRARY, GEORGE,
I'M TRUSTING THE PUBLIC.

I MEAN, WHAT GIVES ME

THE RIGHT TO DECIDE

WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T SEE?

I'M NO MORE ENTITLED
THAN MS. BUCKLEY IS

WHAT'S GOING TO UPLIFT
AND ENLIGHTEN YOU.

OH, THERE SHE GOES AGAIN

WITH THAT LIBERAL
DUCK AND PARRY.

IT'S JUST PLAIN BAD FAITH

TO PROMOTE AN AGENDA
THE WAY THIS ART SHOW DOES

AND THEN CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY

FOR THE IMMORAL
BEHAVIOR IT ENCOURAGES.

ART IS MEANT TO BE
PERCEIVED AND INTERPRETED.

IT DOESN'T INTRINSICALLY
ADVOCATE BEHAVIOR.

HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU'RE
NOT ADVOCATING BEHAVIOR?

YOUR WHOLE PURPOSE IS TO MAKE
THAT LIFESTYLE APPEAR NORMAL,

SO THAT MORE PEOPLE
WILL WANT TO TRY IT.

IF I WERE TRYING TO CONVERT
PEOPLE TO MY LIFESTYLE,

AS YOU SEEM TO BE
IMPLYING, MS. BUCKLEY,

DO YOU REALLY THINK I'D DO IT

BY USING IMAGES OF A
MAN FLAYING HIMSELF

AND TRUSSING UP HIS TESTICLES?

THAT PIECE MAKES
ME SO UNCOMFORTABLE

I CAN BARELY LOOK AT IT.

I DON'T THINK

IT WILL MAKE ANYONE
WANT TO BECOME A LESBIAN.

WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY?

SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO...

I OPENED THE '97 BRUNELLO.

IS THAT THE CAPARZO
OR THE CASTELGIOCONDO?

WELL, IF IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE,

I CAN ALWAYS PAWN MY WATCH.

THAT'S NOT HOW YOU
WANT ME TO REMEMBER YOU

WHEN I'M DECIDING WHO TO TAKE

TO ANTIGUA WHEN I WRAP.

SHE THINKS SHE'S CLEVER ENOUGH

TO TRICK THE REST OF US

INTO BELIEVING
THAT FILTH ISN'T FILTH,

BLASPHEMY ISN'T BLASPHEMY,

PORNOGRAPHY IS NOT PORNOGRAPHY,

BUT THE STUFF SPEAKS FOR ITSELF,

AND HOWEVER HARD
SHE TRIES TO DEFEND IT

WITH HER FANCY LANGUAGE

AND HER INSULTING LOGIC,

ALL IT IS

IS SHEER, DISGUSTING,
FILTHY, UGLY PORNOGRAPHY.

SHE IS A PORNOGRAPHER.

I...

I UNDERSTAND WHY MS.
BUCKLEY IS SO SICKENED

BY THE PORN INDUSTRY. I DO.

I MEAN, IT'S BRUTAL.

ESPECIALLY FOR THE POOR CHILDREN

AND TEENAGE GIRLS

WHO GET LURED IN AND EXPLOITED,

ALL BECAUSE THEY WERE
RUNNING AWAY FROM SOMETHING.

THOSE CHILDREN LACKED LOVE.

THEY WERE ABUSED.

I MEAN, HOW AWFUL IT MUST BE

TO COME FROM A HOME
LIFE SO DESPERATE.

THERE IS A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN COMPLEX, PROVOCATIVE ART

AND THE TRAGEDY OF
THE PORN INDUSTRY.

MAY I ASK WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, BETTE?

BECAUSE IF YOU DID, THIS
WOULDN'T BE COMPLEX.

YOU SEE, GOD HAS
ALREADY DONE THE WORK

OF SORTING THROUGH
ALL OF THIS FOR US.

FAITH MAKES SEEMINGLY
COMPLEX THINGS

SIMPLE AND OBVIOUS...

GOD IS ABOUT THE MOST COMPLEX...

THE BIBLE CONDEMNS

HOMOSEXUALITY.

THAT'S WHY GOD TOOK
YOUR UNBORN CHILD

FROM YOUR LESBIAN LOVER,

AND THAT WAS A BLESSING.

THAT BABY IS WITH HIM NOW,

SO HE DOESN'T HAVE TO SUFFER

THE DEGRADATION

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO

HAD HE BEEN BORN INTO
YOUR DEPRAVED LIFE!

MONSTER.

MONSTER.
