The L Word (2004–2009): Season 1, Episode 8 - Listen Up - full transcript

I DIDN'T GET IN.

THEN I'M NOT GOING.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

YOU GET TO GO TO PARIS
AND GERMANY AND SPAIN,

MEET THE BEST DRESSAGE
RIDERS IN THE WORLD.

IT WON'T BE ANY FUN WITHOUT YOU.

YOU'LL PROBABLY
MAKE BEST FRIENDS

WITH SOME SNOBBY
GIRL FROM SPENCE.

YOU WON'T EVEN
WANT TO TALK TO ME

WHEN YOU GET BACK.

WILL YOU GO BACK TO SENECA LAKE?



I THINK I MIGHT STAY HERE.

MY MOM WANTS ME TO CANVASS

FOR NIXON/AGNEW

IN THE CALIFORNIA PRIMARY.

SEND ME POSTCARDS, OKAY?

EVERY DAY.

I'M GOING TO MISS
YOU SO MUCH, LESLIE.

JESUS!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

IT JUST...

I DON'T KNOW, IT JUST HAPPENED.

IT FELT RIGHT.

PEOPLE HAVE ALL
KINDS OF FEELINGS.

IT DOESN'T MEAN



WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ACT ON THEM.

I DON'T THINK I WANT TO DO THIS.

TRY.

IF YOU HATE IT,

WE CAN STAND UP AND SAY, "SORRY.

"WE THINK WE'RE BETTER THAN YOU

AND WE'RE OUT OF HERE,"

OR ELSE WE COULD
PASS JUDGMENT ON THEM

WITHOUT EVER EVEN MEETING THEM.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT I'M ONLY
DOING THIS FOR YOU.

WELCOME...

BETTE AND TINA.

HI.

SO...

HEY!

HEY!

WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?

HI, BIG GIRL.

GIVE ME A HUG.

NICE TO SEE YOU.

IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU.

THE BAND...

YEAH. THIS IS THE
BAND. THIS IS ME.

THIS IS MY BAND, THE GARANIMALS!

DO YOU LOVE IT? DO WE ROCK?

IT'S GOOD.

WE ROCK, RIGHT? OH, FORGET IT.

YOU THINK I SOLD OUT

WITH THE REAL ESTATE THING.

NO, I THINK YOU'RE
TURNING INTO A SUIT.

YEAH, I'M A REAL ESTATE BROKER.

LOOK, IT'S COOL

TO DO SOMETHING STUPID

AND MAKE A LOT OF MONEY,

AND THEN YOU CAN DO

WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT,

RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. OKAY.

I LOVE YOUR
APARTMENT, BY THE WAY.

YOU DO?

DO YOU THINK IT HAS GOOD ENERGY?

I THINK IT'S A TOOL SHED.

IF I TAKE

MORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
MY CHOICES AND ACTIONS

TODAY...

I WILL STOP BLAMING CHARLIE

FOR MY LOW SELF-ESTEEM.

SOMETIMES I KEEP MYSELF PASSIVE

WHEN I...

LET BETTE MAKE ALL
THE FINANCIAL DECISIONS

IN OUR LIVES,

EVEN THOUGH WE AGREED THAT...

THAT'S GOOD, TINA.

JUST A SIMPLE
DECLARATIVE STATEMENT.

NO NEED TO ELABORATE

AT THIS STAGE.

WHY COULDN'T I HAVE BEEN
BORN WITH A TRUST FUND?

ALL I WANT TO DO

IS SIT AT THIS DESK
AND JUST WRITE...

THAT'S BECAUSE MOST
PEOPLE WITH TRUST FUNDS

AREN'T TORTURED ENOUGH TO WRITE.

SO, UM...

ARE YOU AND TIM
STILL HAVING SEX?

WERE YOU HAVING SEX
WHEN YOU BROKE UP,

OR DID BREAK UP OUT OF BOREDOM?

OKAY.

DID YOU HAVE A LOT OF ANGRY SEX?

THAT'S KIND OF HOT, ACTUALLY.

CAN WE PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

DON'T TALK ABOUT TIM?

IT'S THE WORST MOOD KILLER.

THANK GOD,

'CAUSE I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU,

BACK IN COLLEGE,

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW
HARD IT WAS TO GET ANY SLEEP

IN A BED 10 FEET AWAY

FROM YOU GUYS DOING IT?

I MEAN,

I WAS MILDLY DISGUSTED
BY HIS BULGING MUSCLES

AND HIS LITTLE...

HIS LITTLE GRUNTS OF PLEASURE.

"OH.

"OH.

"OH, JENNY.

OH, JENNY, JENNY."

NO, NO, NO. STOP.

WHAT?

IT'S EVIL TO SAY BAD
THINGS ABOUT TIM.

FOR GOD'S SAKE...

IT IS.

YOU GUYS GOING TO GET
BACK TOGETHER IN A WEEK?

YOU'VE BEEN BANISHED
TO THE TOOL SHED

TO DO YOUR PENANCE,

THEN HE'LL LET YOU BACK
INTO HIS HALLOWED BED?

NO. IT'S DONE. IT'S
OVER. IT'S OVER?

FINI.

MY GREATEST FEAR
ABOUT BEING A PARENT IS...

THAT OUR CHILD WILL
SEEM LIKE AN ALIEN TO US

AND WE'LL SEEM
LIKE AN ALIEN TO HIM...

OR HER.

THAT I'D BE BORED BEING
A STAY-AT-HOME DAD

AND I'LL START TO BLAME CHARLIE.

THAT ALMA WILL NEVER
REALLY ACCEPT HECTOR

AS OUR CHILD.

THAT HECTOR WILL CONTINUE
TO BE A TROUBLED CHILD.

THAT MY DAUGHTER
WILL FEEL ANGRY WITH ME

FOR NOT GIVING HER A FATHER.

AHEM.

AHEM.

PASS.

OKAY.

LET'S MOVE ON.

TINA?

UH...

I KNOW BETTE AND I

MUST HAVE SOME FEARS,

BECAUSE OTHERWISE

WHAT WOULD WE BE
DOING IN THIS GROUP?

BUT WE'RE PRETTY COMFORTABLE

WITH THE WHOLE
LESBIAN PARENT THING.

I GUESS OUR GREATEST
FEAR WOULD BE

WHETHER OR NOT BETTE'S FATHER

WILL ACCEPT OUR CHILD.

YEAH, THAT'S IT,

THAT BETTE'S FATHER
WON'T CONSIDER, UM...

OUR BABY TO BE HIS GRANDCHILD.

NOW, THE NEXT EXERCISE...

MY GREATEST FEAR
ABOUT BEING A PARENT IS...

THAT I WON'T BE A
GOOD ENOUGH PROVIDER.

THAT'S GOOD, BETTE.

IT TAKES TIME

TO BUILD TRUST IN THE GROUP.

EVENTUALLY, IT'LL BE EASIER

TO SAY WHAT YOU
REALLY MEAN TO SAY.

I...

WENT ON A THREE-DAY WINE TOUR.

WINE. GOOD.

THIS IS REALLY YUMMY.

OKAY, WE'VE GOT TO GO TO TIM'S

TO GET THE CORKSCREW.

NO SHIT.

WHERE IS HE?

ON A RECRUITING TRIP.

OH, GOODY.

THIS WILL BE SO MUCH FUN,

BECAUSE WE CAN SNOOP

TO OUR HEART'S CONTENT, RIGHT?

YES.

WE CAN GO THROUGH HIS DRAWERS,

READ HIS MAIL,

PUT ON HIS PANTS.

MAYBE.

WHEE!

I'M GOING TO DANCE TOPLESS

ON HIS TABLE, BABY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M GETTING THE KEY.

OKAY.

THANK YOU, TIM.

SO DO YOU THINK HE'S
REALLY ON A RECRUITING TRIP,

OR YOU THINK HE'S IN
SOME LITTLE LOVE NEST

WITH ANOTHER WOMAN?

NO...

I'M JUST ASKING.

UH-OH.

WHAT...

WHAT IS THIS FACE?

IS THERE ANOTHER WOMAN?

SORT OF.

NOT EVERYTHING'S

ABOUT FURTHERING
MY POLITICAL CAREER.

REALLY?

WELL, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW THAT

TO HEAR YOU SPEAK PUBLICLY.

THESE ARE

TWO VERY SEPARATE ISSUES FOR ME.

THIS KID HAS BEEN BOUNCED AROUND

FROM GROUP HOME
TO THE FOSTER HOME

TO THE SHELTER.

I'VE WORKED WITH HIM
FOR A COUPLE YEARS,

THAT IF HE DOESN'T
GET INTO A GOOD FAMILY,

THEN HE IS A GONER.

I THINK IT'S REALLY ADMIRABLE
TO ADOPT A NEEDY CHILD.

BETTE AND I WANTED
TO ADOPT ORIGINALLY.

SO WHY DIDN'T YOU?

BECAUSE SOME GIRL
FROM THE MIDWEST

WHO HASN'T EVEN MET A LESBIAN
AND WHO THINKS WE HAVE HORNS

ISN'T ABOUT TO CHOOSE US

AS THE ADOPTIVE
PARENTS FOR HER BABY.

IT'S JUST THE WAY THE
SYSTEM WORKS RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S ONLY IF
YOU'RE SET ON GETTING

A NEWBORN WHITE BABY.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH A WHITE
PERSON WANTING A WHITE BABY?

I THINK

MOST PEOPLE WANT
TO HAVE A FAMILY

THAT LOOKS LIKE THE
FAMILY THAT THEY GREW UP IN.

YOLANDA?

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING

YOU WANT TO SAY TO BETTE?

YOU TALK SO PROUD AND
FORTHRIGHT ABOUT BEING A LESBIAN,

BUT YOU NEVER ONCE
REFERRED TO YOURSELF

AS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMAN.

ALL I HEAR YOU SAYING

IS THAT WHITE PEOPLE SHOULD
ONLY TAKE CARE OF WHITE BABIES.

I SAID NOTHING OF THE KIND.

IN FACT, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY

THAT TINA AND I CHOSE AN
AFRICAN-AMERICAN DONOR

BECAUSE IT WAS IMPORTANT TO US

TO HAVE A FAMILY THAT
REFLECTS WHO WE ARE.

BEFORE YOU CAN
REFLECT WHO YOU ARE,

YOU HAVE TO BE WHO YOU ARE.

THEY'RE WONDERING WHAT
THE HELL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,

'CAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW YOU WERE A BLACK WOMAN.

I THINK BEFORE YOU HAVE A CHILD,

YOU NEED TO REFLECT

ON WHAT IT IS YOU'RE
SAYING TO THE WORLD

BY HIDING SO BEHIND
THE LIGHTNESS

OF YOUR SKIN.

YOU KNOW,

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I GREW UP.

YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW I LIVE MY LIFE.

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU...

YOLANDA, BETTE.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU

TO SAVE THIS TILL THURSDAY.

WE'LL PICK IT UP
DURING FREESTYLE.

GOOD WORK, EVERYONE.

HEY.

TELL BETTE NOT TO LET
YOLANDA GET TO HER TOO MUCH.

SHE'S JUST TRYING
TO FIGURE HER OUT,

SEE IF SHE HAS AN ALLY.

STICK AROUND,

AND IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS,

YOU ACTUALLY START
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

OH, NO, NO.

WE BOTH THOUGHT IT WAS, UH...

REALLY INTERESTING.

WE?

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A CHANCE

TO TALK TO BETTE ABOUT IT YET.

OH, YEAH.

UM, I THOUGHT IT WAS
REALLY INTERESTING,

AND I'LL TALK TO BETTE ABOUT IT

AND WE'LL BOTH DECIDE
WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

BETTER?

MM-HMM.

SEE YOU.

OH, MY GOD.

THAT IS...

I MEAN, WELL, I'M SO GLAD

THAT IT WAS YOU AND NOT TIM

WHO WENT OUT AND DID THE NASTY,

YOU KNOW?

SO, LIKE, WHAT DID...

WHERE DID YOU MEET HIM?

WHAT DOES HE DO?

WHAT IS HE... WHAT IS HE?

WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE?

AT A PARTY.

YEAH?

OWNS A CAFE.

THAT'S COOL.

ANNETTE,

I'M NOT PROUD OF WHAT I DID.

IT WAS REALLY SHITTY.

WHAT? IS HE FUNNY?

DEFINITELY NOT.

SMART?

I DON'T KNOW.

HOT?

MARINA WAS DEFINITELY HOT.

MARINA?

WHOA.

DUDE, THAT'S THE ONE THING

I HAVEN'T DONE.

SO...

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO CALL HER

IN THE STORY?

NO, I DIDN'T DO IT
BECAUSE OF THAT.

I DIDN'T DO THIS

FOR SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT.

JENNY?

HEY.

WHAT?

LOOK AT ME.

OH, MY GOD.

SHE BROKE YOUR HEART.

FUCK.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

LOOK HOW GOOD YOU LOOK.

I LOVE IT.

DANA, YOU LOOK WICKED.

THAT'S AWESOME.

I WANT YOU TO SIGN IT.

MAKE IT OUT TO FRANCESCA AND I.

SHE'S BACK?

OH, WELL, THEN YOU
SHOULD BRING HER TO TWAT.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE HER.

MAKE IT REALLY SPECIAL.

YEAH, SIGN IT, "DANA FAIRBANKS,

PROFESSIONAL LESBIAN."

OH, COME ON. IT'S
GOING WIDE NEXT WEEK.

IT'S GOING TO BE

IN EVERY MAGAZINE YOU READ.

THAT'S AMAZING.

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO
KEEP THE GIRLS AWAY.

YOUR PARENTS MUST BE SO PROUD.

DANA?

DID YOU NOT DO IT?

YOU DIDN'T COME OUT
TO YOUR PARENTS YET?

I THINK SUBARU'S
GOING TO DO IT FOR YOU.

YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM.

YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM.

ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW,

YOU HAVE TO DO
THIS TODAY, 'CAUSE...

I CAN'T DO IT TODAY, AL.

MY MOM'S GETTING THAT AWARD

FROM HER WOMEN'S
GROUP OR WHATEVER.

YOUR MOTHER BELONGS
TO A WOMEN'S GROUP?

THAT'S GOOD.

ORANGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN
WOMEN'S COALITION.

I'M SORRY.

DANA, COME ON.

WE WEREN'T LAUGHING.

OH, MY GOD. DANA, TALK TO ME.

I WANT TO HELP.

I JUST...

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY LIFE
RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW?

I FUCKED UP SO BAD WITH LAURA

AND YOU GUYS ARE
ALL LAUGHING AT ME.

I JUST... I CAN'T HANDLE IT.

ALL RIGHT. I'M SORRY.

I FEEL LIKE AN ASSHOLE.

I HAVE AN IDEA. READY?

LISTEN TO ME.

I'M GOING TO COME WITH YOU.

I CAN'T DO IT.

NO, I'M COMING.

I'M GOING TO BE WITH YOU

AND YOU'RE TELL YOUR MOM AND DAD

BEFORE YOUR MOTHER
GETS THE AWARD, OKAY?

JUST BLAM, "MOM,
DAD, I'M A LESBIAN."

NO BIG DEAL, JUST LIKE THAT,

BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY

YOUR PARENTS ARE
GOING TO MAKE A SCENE

IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE.

I CAN LOOK REPUBLICAN.

WHO THE HELL DOES
SHE THINK SHE IS?

I MEAN, I'M A TOTAL
STRANGER TO HER.

SHE KNOWS NOTHING
ABOUT MY RACE POLITICS,

NOTHING ABOUT MY
SELF-IDENTIFICATION,

NOTHING.

SHE'S A WRITER. YOLANDA WATKINS.

I GOOGLED HER.

TEACHES AT UCLA.

SHE'S PUBLISHED THREE
VOLUMES OF POETRY

AND TWO BOOKS OF NON-FICTION,

INCLUDING, UH,

SISTAH, STAND UP.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
SOME FUN WITH HER.

WE?

YOU'RE NOT THE ONE
SHE JUMPED ALL OVER.

I WAS JUST AS UPSET ABOUT IT

AS YOU WERE, BABY.

I DON'T THINK SO, TINA.

IT WAS MY WHOLE LIFE
SHE WAS ATTACKING.

MY LIFE.

SO, JEN,

WERE YOU ALWAYS A LESBIAN?

I NEVER SAID I WAS A LESBIAN.

SO IT JUST CAME OUT OF
NOWHERE AND BIT YOU ON THE ASS?

JUST LIKE THAT?

BECAUSE ME, YOU
KNOW, I LOVE WOMEN.

YEAH, FOR COMPANIONSHIP,

I FIGURE I COULD DO WITHOUT
THE COMPANY OF MEN ENTIRELY,

EXCEPT, DUDE, I CAN'T
GET DOWN WITH THE PUSS.

I LOVE A DICK.

I THINK I'M BISEXUAL.

OH, BROTHER.

I DO. I REALLY DO.

JENNY,

IS THIS JUST YOUR
WAY OF TELLING ME

THAT YOU HAD

A HUGE CRUSH ON ME IN COLLEGE?

ANNETTE...

NO.

YOU'RE LYING.

YOU'RE MADLY IN LOVE WITH ME.

WELL,

I'VE GOT TO GET A
LOOK AT THIS MARINA,

SEE IF SHE'S WORTH IT.

NO.

YEAH.

OH, NO.

YEAH, NO, WE'VE
GOT TO STALK HER.

JUST STALK HER A LITTLE BIT,

JUST SO I CAN SEE.

NO, NO. NO STALKING.

WHY?

BECAUSE, UM,

HER GIRLFRIEND'S BACK IN TOWN.

HER GIRLFRIEND?

I KNOW.

I KNOW.

DOES THIS JUST KEEP
GETTING BETTER?

SHE TOLD ME THAT
SHE HAD A GIRLFRIEND

AFTER TIM LEFT ME,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I WOULD HAVE DONE EVERYTHING

IN THE EXACT SAME
WAY I DID IT NOW.

I WOULD HAVE.

OKAY, IS THERE ANY
MORE TO THIS STORY?

NO.

FINE.

THIS IS WHAT I THINK.

I'VE GOT TO SEE THIS WOMAN

AND YOU'VE GOT TO STAKE
OUT THE COMPETITION.

I'M SERIOUS.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
TAKE THIS SITTING DOWN.

IF YOU'RE REALLY IN LOVE...

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M IN LOVE.

WHATEVER.

YOU'VE GOT TO GO
OUT GUNS BLAZING,

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

YOU'VE GOT TO STAND UP
AND FIGHT FOR THE... THE...

WHATEVER... WHAT'S
THE GIRLFRIEND'S NAME?

FRANCESCA WOLF.

OH, BARF.

I KNOW, RIGHT?

WELL, FINE.

FRANCESCA'S GOING DOWN.

WE'LL BE SHOOTING THE
VIDEO IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS,

SO OUR PEOPLE WILL
BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU

TO WORK ON THE DETAILS.

WOW, THAT'S SWEET, YOU KNOW?

HEY, I'M DOWN WITH IT.

HEY.

HEY, BABY GIRL.

OH, DWAYNE,

I WANT YOU TO MEET
MY LITTLE SISTER, BETTE.

BETTE, THIS IS DWAYNE WASHINGTON

OF BEN'S BOX RECORDS.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

WHAT'S THIS?

I WORK WITH SLIM DADDY,

HE'S GOING TO SAMPLE
"IT'S THE REAL THING"

ON HIS NEXT ALBUM.

WOW.

FANTASTIC.

DO YOU MIND IF I TAKE A LOOK?

HEY, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
THAT A SONG I WROTE IN 1986

WOULD BE SAMPLED
BY SLIM DADDY IN 2004?

AND $1,000

IS ALL YOU'RE OFFERING MY SISTER

FOR UNLIMITED USE OF HER SONG?

IT'S A STANDARD
CONTRACT FOR A SAMPLE.

HEY, I'M DOWN WITH THE DEAL.

WELL, ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE HER

A PERCENTAGE OF
THE SONG'S REVENUES?

I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE
A LAWYER LOOK AT THIS

AND THEN YOU CAN
GET IT BACK TO DWAYNE

IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

LOOK,

THIS IS PRETTY MUCH A
NON-NEGOTIABLE OFFER.

HERE YOU GO.

LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING
TO BE DOING THAT VIDEO, OKAY?

NICE TO MEET YOU.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

YOU ALMOST FUCKED
THAT UP FOR ME.

FUCKED THAT UP FOR YOU?

I WAS TRYING TO HELP YOU.

YOU SAID YOURSELF

YOU DON'T ALWAYS
MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS.

WELL, IN THIS CASE,
THANKS BUT NO THANKS.

YOU KNOW, I TALKED
TO DAVID YESTERDAY.

AND WHAT DID HE WANT?

HE SAID HE CAME TO MEET YOU.

HE WALKED IN,

SAW YOU SITTING AT THE BAR,

HAVING A DRINK,

AND HE LEFT.

WHAT?

YOU WERE THERE. YOU
KNOW I WASN'T DRINKING.

I MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE
BATHROOM WHEN HE CAME.

YOU KNOW I WASN'T DRINKING.

OH, NICE.

YOU'VE ALWAYS

GOT TO TAKE ME DOWN A NOTCH,

YOU KNOW, WHY
CAN'T YOU JUST SAY,

"WELL DONE, KIT.

"SLIM DADDY WANTS TO SAMPLE

"ONE OF YOUR SONGS

"AND YOU GOT THROUGH
A TERRIBLE SITUATION

"THE OTHER NIGHT

WITHOUT A DRINK."

YOU CAN'T EVEN GIVE ME THAT,

CAN YOU?

OH, HELLO.

HEY.

I WAS JUST LOOKING
FOR A CIGARETTE.

I GUESS I SHOULD
HAVE ASKED, HUH?

YEAH.

HEY, CLIVE, HAVE YOU NOTICED

ALL THOSE BANNERS
AROUND THE HOUSE

THAT SAY SMOKING KILLS WOMEN?

IF I'M RIGHT,

I THINK THERE'S ONE
OVER THE TOILET, NO?

YEAH.

THEY DON'T SMOKE.

DUH.

BETTE, THERE'S A
CALL ON LINE ONE.

I THINK YOU MIGHT
WANT TO TAKE IT.

TAKE A MESSAGE.

I'M LATE FOR LUNCH.

I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE IT.

OH, GOD.

THIS IS BETTE PORTER.

ARE YOU THE PERSON

IN CHARGE OF THE MUSEUM?

DO YOU BELIEVE IN
JESUS CHRIST, MA'AM?

BECAUSE GOD WILL PUNISH YOU

FOR PUTTING UP THAT
BLASPHEMOUS FILTH

IN YOUR MUSEUM.

YOU AND ALL THOSE INVOLVED

ARE GOING TO BURN IN HELL.

DO YOU HEAR ME?

YOU'RE ALL GOING
TO BURN IN HELL.

THAT'S THE FIFTH CALL TODAY.

WE THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

JUST KEEP A RECORD OF THE CALLS.

OKAY?

OH, MY GOD!

OH, MY GOD, I KILLED HIM.

FUCKING BITCH! ARE
YOU FUCKING BLIND?

I AM SO SORRY.

GET AWAY FROM ME!

THERE IS NO NEED
TO BE SO AGGRESSIVE.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.
IT WAS A MISTAKE.

FUCK YOU, YOU COW.

FUCK YOU.

NO, FUCKING FUCK YOU.

YOU ARE A FUCKING NUTCASE.

YOU'RE A FUCKING MENACE.

THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO
BE GOING ANYWHERE.

YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

YOU INJURED?

SHOULD WE GET YOU TO A HOSPITAL?

THANK YOU FOR ASKING.
IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE DID.

YOU DIDN'T GIVE US A
CHANCE, YOU FREAK.

HEY.

WE'LL, YOU'RE
OBVIOUSLY IN ONE PIECE.

YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO FALL.

I MEAN, YOU SEEM TO
BE IN AMAZING SHAPE.

THANKS.

YOU SURE YOU CAN RIDE?

YEAH, I CAN.

I'M NOT SURE THEY CAN.

LEARN TO DRIVE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THERE'S NO TALKING
TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT.

APPEAL TO THEIR VANITY.

IT WORKS EVERY TIME.

BE CAREFUL.

OKAY.

OKAY.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S REVIEW THE STRATEGY

ONE MORE TIME.

ALL RIGHT.

WE EXCHANGE PLEASANTRIES.

MOM TELLS ME HOW THIN I LOOK.

YOUR FATHER ASKS
HOW MY CAREER'S GOING...

RIGHT.

THEN YOU TELL THEM.

RIGHT, JUST...

JUST BLURT IT OUT.

BEFORE LUNCH. BEFORE
MOM GETS THE AWARD.

RIGHT. SHE'LL KEEP IT TOGETHER.

SHE'S NOT GOING ON THAT STAGE

WITH HER MASCARA RUNNING.

LET'S GO.

COME ON.

OKAY.

OH, LOOK AT THESE
BEAUTIFUL LADIES

WHO'VE COME ALL THE
WAY FROM BEVERLY HILLS

TO BE AT MY LUNCHEON.

I DON'T LIVE IN
BEVERLY HILLS, MOM.

OH, SO THIN.

ALICE, YOU LOOK
WONDERFUL, AS ALWAYS.

SO NICE TO SEE YOU.

CONGRATS, SHARON.

YOU MUST BE GREAT REPUBLICANS.

YOU'VE MISSED THE RECEPTION,

AND WE'LL JUST HAVE TO
GO AND SIT DOWN TO LUNCH.

HOWIE, HAVE YOU SAID
HELLO TO YOUR SISTER?

HEY, D-DOG.

HEY, HOW.

HOW YOU DOING?

HELLO.

OOH.

SHIT.

SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT.

IT'S OKAY. GO.

SEE, ALL I CAN SEE RIGHT NOW

IS HER BUTT,

WHICH IS NICE FOR A GIRL,

BUT YOU KNOW,

I'M NOT AN EXPERT
ON WOMEN'S ASSES.

COME ON, TURN AROUND.

WOW.

WOW.

OKAY...

CAN WE GO?

KEEP YOUR PANTIES ON.

I'M TRYING TO WRAP
MY HEAD AROUND THIS.

I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT?

YOU HAD SEX WITH THAT WOMAN?

PLEASE, PLEASE...

DID YOU GO DOWN ON
HER AND EVERYTHING?

NO, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

DO GIRLS STILL LOOK PRETTY

WHEN THEY'RE GETTING EATEN OUT?

WHEN YOU'RE GIVING
THEM BLOW JOBS.

HELLO AGAIN.

HI. HI.

OKAY, WE HAVE TO GO NOW.

ANNETTE, NOT FUNNY.

WHAT?

JENNY. JENNY.

WHAT?

OH, MY GOD.

THAT'S FRANCESCA.

DANA,

YOU MUST BE SO
PROUD OF YOUR MOTHER.

DO YOU KNOW

THAT SHE RAISED
MORE MONEY LAST YEAR

FOR OUR CANDIDATES

THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE CLUB?

OH, I AM VERY PROUD. YEAH.

WE JUST WANTED TO
SAY CONGRATULATIONS,

SHARON.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OH, DAD.

OH, I'LL JUST TAKE
THESE DRINKS...

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

MOM, DAD...

UM, HOW...

THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT
TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT.

UM...

UH, DANA,

DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND,

BY ANY CHANCE?

HOWIE, DON'T BE A PAIN.

I'M SURE IF DANA HAD A BOYFRIEND
HE'D BE RIGHT HERE WITH US.

NOW, DANA'S LIKE I
WAS WHEN I WAS YOUNG.

WHEN YOU'RE GOOD AT
SOMETHING, MEN ARE INTIMIDATED.

YOU'VE GOT TO WAIT FOR THE
RIGHT ONE TO COME ALONG.

WHAT WAS IT YOU
WERE SAYING, DEAR?

EXCUSE ME.

I WANT AN AUTOGRAPH.

I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT,

BUT THIS SEEMED
LIKE MY BEST CHANCE.

YOU MUST BE SO PROUD.

OH, DANA, YOU KNOW MARIAN.

HI.

HI. HOW ARE YOU? YEAH.

GOD!

DANA...

IT'S MY SON.

TO YOUR SON.

MY SON BRUCE.

HE GAVE ME THIS MAGAZINE,

AND HE KNEW THAT YOUR MOTHER

WAS FRIENDS WITH ME.

WE'VE COME SUCH A LONG WAY,

HAVEN'T WE?

OH, SHIT.

HOWIE. DANA...

WHAT?

SWEETIE, WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT WAS THAT?

MY SUBARU AD.

EVERY TIME SOMETHING
WONDERFUL HAPPENS TO YOU,

YOU DOWNPLAY IT.

NOW, THAT AD WAS
VERY IMPRESSIVE.

HONEY...

HONEY, WHEN WERE
YOU GOING TO TELL US?

I MEAN, A FEW MORE
SURPRISES LIKE THAT

AND I COULD KEEL OVER
FROM A HEART ATTACK.

UH... I'VE...

IT'S YOUR DAY.

IT'S YOUR DAY, YOU KNOW?

SHE DIDN'T WANT TO
STEAL THE THUNDER.

SHE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE IT AWAY.

ALWAYS THINKING OF OTHER PEOPLE.

THAT'S MY GIRL.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT

TO TO TELL YOUR AUNT
SASHA AND THE BOYS.

I'M SURE SHE HASN'T SEEN IT YET,

OTHERWISE SHE
WOULD BE SCREAMING.

I'M SURE SHE WOULD BE.

WHAT DID IT SAY AGAIN, DEAR?

IT SAID, UH...

"GET OUT AND STAY OUT."

YEAH. YEAH.

I'M NOT REALLY SURE
WHAT THAT MEANS.

UM...

IT MEANS, UH...

IT'S A MARKETING CAMPAIGN

FOR WOMEN

WHO ARE LIKE ME.

WHO, UH...

WHO ARE OUT...

DOORSY.

OUTSIDE A LOT.

PLAYING TENNIS, YOU KNOW?

THINGS LIKE THAT.

YOU KNOW,

I'M JUST NOT HUNGRY
ALL OF A SUDDEN.

CAN YOU JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE?

I JUST NEED A MINUTE.

I'M JUST GOING TO...

SURE.

I'LL BE BACK.

OKAY, I'M PRETTY SURE

THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANS.

YOU THINK?

OR THEY TOTALLY GET IT,

BUT THEY'VE SPUN

INTO SOME BLACK HOLE OF DENIAL

AND TURNED INTO
ROBOTS OR SOMETHING.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

HOW WITHIN THE
REALM OF POSSIBILITY

THAT IS.

LOOK,

MAYBE THE GET IT,
MAYBE THEY DON'T.

BUT RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE
REALLY PROUD OF YOU,

AND I'M THINKING
THIS IS THE MOMENT.

DO YOU WANT TO PRACTICE?

OKAY.

OKAY, THIS WILL BE SHARON
AND THIS WILL BE IRWIN.

OKAY.

GO AHEAD.

THAT'S RETARDED.

WOULD YOU JUST PLAY?

"I'M NOT REALLY SURE
WHAT THAT MEANS, HONEY.

GET OUT AND STAY OUT."

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

THANK YOU.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

WOULD YOU PLEASE JOIN ME
IN WELCOMING TO THE STAGE

OUR OWN WOMAN OF THE YEAR,

SHARON FAIRBANKS.

WHAT A DAY TO BE
PROUD OF MY GIRLS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I FEEL SO HONORED

TO BE STANDING HERE IN
FRONT OF YOU AND MY FAMILY.

I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT A
PRECIOUS MOMENT THIS IS.

FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS...

YOU'RE MAKING YOURSELF CRAZY.

MAYBE WE SHOULD ABORT.

WHO'S SMOKING?

SOMEBODY'S SMOKING.

WHAT UP, LESBOS?

THANK GOD.

SHIT. HOWIE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT?

HERE.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

IT MIGHT HELP YOU
RELAX A LITTLE BIT,

YOU KNOW?

OH, D-DOG, I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU,

WHEN MOM AND DAD
DISOWN YOU AND ALL,

I'LL STILL COME AND VISIT.

THANKS, BRO.

HERE.

OKAY.

YEAH, GO FOR IT.

WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE.

OH, SHE BOUGHT HER A WATCH.

OH, IT'S A MONT BLANC.

THOSE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE.

ANNETTE,

WE'RE OFFICIALLY
STALKING SOMEONE,

WHICH MAKES US KIND OF CRAZY...

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK YOU CAN TAKE HER DOWN.

LOOK AT HER.

SHE'S FUCKING BEAUTIFUL, MAN.

SHE DRIVES VINTAGE MERCEDES.

SHE'S LIKE BELLE MONDO

IN LIKE, THIS GODARD FILM,

YOU KNOW?

I LIVE OUT OF A GARBAGE BAG.

I LIVE IN A TOOL SHED.

OKAY, BUT HERE'S
WHAT I SEE, OKAY?

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

FRANCESCA IS BUYING

MARINA'S AFFECTIONS.

YOU'RE WAY YOUNGER.

YES.

YOU'RE WAY HOTTER.

WHY DO YOU THINK SHE
CAME LOOKING FOR YOU

IN THE FIRST PLACE?

WHY?

BECAUSE IT'S OVER BETWEEN THEM.

LOOK AT THEM, MAN.

LOOK AT THEM.

THERE'S LOVE IN THEIR EYES.

THEY HAVE THAT, LIKE...

TWAT.

NO MORE TWAT.

NO MORE TWAT FOR ME.

TWAT GETS ME INTO TROUBLE.

TWAT THE NIGHT, YOU IDIOT.

WE GO, TOGETHER, YOU AND ME.

WE LOOK ALL HOT, RIGHT?

WE GET YOU ALL DOLLED UP,

LIKE THE JENNY
THAT I USED TO KNOW.

MARINA SEES US,

MAYBE SHE GETS A
LITTLE BIT JEALOUS,

STARTS TO COMPARISON SHOP.

MAYBE A BAD IDEA. MAYBE...

WORST CASE SCENARIO,

SHE THINKS YOU HAVE
A HOT NEW GIRLFRIEND

AND YOU AND ME GET LOADED,

BUT IF EVERYTHING
GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN,

OL' FRAN WILL BE GETTING
HER WALKING PAPERS

BY THE END OF THE NIGHT.

HOWIE, I WAS AT THIS...

OH, FUCK.

OH, MY GOD.

MOM...

YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, MOM.

DAD, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.

JUST LET ME EXPLAIN.

PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN.

I THINK YOU'VE SAID
ENOUGH ALREADY.

I TAKE IT YOU'RE

A PART OF THIS LIFESTYLE TOO?

ME? NO, NO. I HAVE A BOYFRIEND.

A BOYFRIEND? THANKS.

MOM, DAD, WAIT.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

MOM...

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T DO THIS TO HURT YOU.

WE ALL HAVE FEELINGS
FOR OUR GIRLFRIENDS, DANA.

IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU
HAVE TO ACT ON THEM.

HEY. YOU ALL RIGHT?

HEY.

HEY!

WHY ARE YOU DOING
THIS SHIT, CLIVE?

WHAT'S UP?

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

THEY KICKED ME OUT.

I MEAN,

I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR
A FUCKING CIGARETTE.

SO IF I WAS TO LOOK IN
YOUR BAG RIGHT NOW,

I WOULDN'T FIND

MARNIE'S CD PLAYER?

DO NOT THROW THIS SHIT AT ME.

DO NOT FUCKING DO THAT.

IF IT'S NOT THERE,

THAT MEANS YOU SOLD IT
OR TRADED IT FOR DRUGS.

DO NOT BLAME ME.

FUCK YOU.

YOU ARE JUST LIKE THEM.

SHANE, PLEASE,

YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME.

NO, PLEASE,
PLEASE. YOU'VE GOT...

PLEASE.

DON'T LET THEM
KICK ME OUT, OKAY?

LOOK, TELL THEM
I'M COOL, WHATEVER.

NO, I'M OUT. I'M DONE. I CAN'T.

I CAN'T.

YOU FUCKED IT. I CAN'T.

TAKE THAT.

I CANNOT DO THAT.

OH, GOD.

GODDAMMIT.

ALL RIGHT...

IF YOU TAKE THAT,

YOU CAN STAY AT A
HOTEL FOR A FEW NIGHTS.

YOU KNOW, THE REASON
YOU HAVE THIS MONEY

IS BECAUSE OF ME.

I'M THE ONE

WHO GOT YOU WHERE YOU ARE.

ALL RIGHT?

I'M THE ONE WHO SET YOU UP.

IF IT WASN'T FOR ME,

YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE MET HARRY

AND YOU NEVER WOULD
HAVE ANY CLIENTS.

YOU OWE ME.

THANK YOU.

I THANK YOU FOR SETTING ME UP.

SELFISH PRICK.

SHANE...

FUCK.

WAIT.

ARE YOU HOLDING?

NO!

GODDAMMIT!

JUST TAKE IT.

OH, GOD.

I'M SORRY.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

JENNY?

HEY, LESBO, IS THAT YOU?

WHOA.

HI, TIM.

HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO BE?

IN THE BATHROOM OR IN L.A.?

THE BATHROOM.

I'M ALMOST DONE.

HEY.

HEY, TIM.

I'M SORRY

FOR EVERYTHING
THAT'S BEEN GOING ON.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY HARD.

YEAH.

WELL, IT STILL IS.

I KNOW YOU'RE HURTING...

BUT...

IF YOU CAN,

WOULD YOU TAKE CARE OF JENNY?

SHE REALLY NEEDS SOMEBODY NOW,

AND I LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.

THANKS.

IT'S ALL YOURS.

IT'S A PETITION OPPOSING

THE CALIFORNIA ART CENTER

FOR DISPLAYING OBSCENE ART.

IT DEPICTS THE VIRGIN MARY

ENGAGED IN A SEX
ACT WITH HERSELF,

IMAGES OF YOUNG CHILDREN

WITH THEIR GENITALS EXPOSED...

EXCUSE ME.

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM,

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED
IN SIGNING THIS PETITION?

I KNOW SOMETHING
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT.

REALLY?

WELL, THEN YOU MUST BE DISGUSTED

AT THE SICK AND THE
HORRIBLE MATERIAL

THAT THEY'RE CALLING ART.

HAVE YOU SEEN IT?
THIS SO-CALLED ART?

NOT PERSONALLY, NO,

BUT I DON'T FEEL I NEED TO.

WELL, HOW CAN YOU ASK PEOPLE

TO SIGN A PETITION OPPOSING IT?

HOW CAN YOU CONDEMN WORKS OF ART

WITHOUT EVER SEEING THEM

OR TAKING EVEN A
MOMENT TO CONSIDER

WHAT THE ARTIST MIGHT
BE TRYING TO SAY TO YOU?

SIR...

EXCUSE ME.

YOU'RE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.

NEXT TIME, WE'LL
HAVE LAP DANCERS.

TOTALLY.

IS THIS THE TWAT?

THE NIGHT.

$15.

TWO. AWESOME.

SO DID YOU AND MARINA
HANG OUT HERE A LOT?

UM, OH, MY GOD.

NO, WE ACTUALLY
NEVER WENT OUT AT ALL.

OH, WHY?

IT WAS SO AWFUL.

THEY MADE ME CHASE THEM

OUT THE FRONT DOOR OF THE HOTEL,

AND... AND THEN SHE SAID,

"WE ALL HAVE FEELINGS
FOR OUR GIRLFRIENDS,

BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN
WE HAVE TO ACT ON THEM."

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

IT PROBABLY MEANS
THAT AT SOME POINT

SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH
ONE OF HER FRIENDS

AND GOT HER HEART BROKEN.

WHAT? NO WAY.

SHARON FAIRBANKS?

ORANGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN
WOMAN OF THE YEAR,

GARDEN GROVE CHAPTER?

I DON'T THINK SO, SHANE.

IT TAKES ALL KINDS.

YEAH, WELL, YOU WOULD KNOW.

SHE WOULD.

OH, SO FUCKING TINA TELLS ME

YOU'RE CUTTING
CHERIE JAFFE'S HAIR.

YEAH, ON FRIDAY.

THAT IS SO HUGE.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S, LIKE,

THE COOLEST PERSON IN HOLLYWOOD

WHO DOESN'T HAVE A JOB,

AND SHE COULD MAKE YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

QUIT WITH YOUR COOL STUFF,

BECAUSE SHE COULD
BREAK YOU, TOO,

AND YOU KNOW IT.

I'M A BLACK WOMAN.
THAT'S WHO I AM.

THAT IS HOW I IDENTIFY.

NOW, I GET THE IMPRESSION

THAT YOU DON'T EVEN
THINK OF YOURSELF

AS AFRICAN-AMERICAN.

I AM, HALF AFRICAN-AMERICAN,

AND MY MOTHER IS WHITE.

BUT LEGALLY, YOU'RE BLACK.

ISN'T THAT A FACT?

THAT'S THE WHITE
MAN'S DEFINITION OF ME,

YES.

THE "ONE DROP" RULE,

SO BASICALLY, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING

IS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE

WHITE AMERICA DEFINE ME.

NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT I'M SAYING.

IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE
RUNNING FROM SOMETHING.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT

TINA, I DON'T NEED YOU
TO DEFEND ME. OKAY?

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW

IS HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY
PUSHING ME SO HARD

TO COME OUT AS A BLACK WOMAN

WHEN ALL THE WHILE,

YOU'VE LET US MISTAKE YOU

FOR A STRAIGHT WOMAN.

YOU THOUGHT I WAS STRAIGHT?

WELL, WHY WOULDN'T I?

I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT
EXACTLY READABLE

AND YOU DIDN'T COME OUT
AND DECLARE YOURSELF.

I MEAN,

IT WASN'T UNTIL I READ YOUR POEM

FROM SISTAH STAND UP...
WITH AN "H," MIGHT I ADD...

"ON BEING A BLACK
SOCIALIST FEMINIST LESBIAN,

"WORKING TO OVERTHROW

THE WHITE, MALE,
CAPITALIST PATRIARCHY"

I NOTICED LESBIAN COMES LAST.

BUT YOU SEE, I
DID NOT NEGATE IT.

I DID NOT DENY IT.

I DID NOT LEAVE IT OUT.

WELL, NEITHER DO I.

I MEAN,

I WOULD NEVER DEFINE MYSELF

EXCLUSIVELY AS BEING WHITE

ANY MORE

THAN I WOULD DEFINE MYSELF

EXCLUSIVELY AS BEING BLACK.

I MEAN, REALLY,

WHY IS IT SO WRONG FOR ME

TO MOVE MORE FREELY IN THE WORLD

JUST BECAUSE MY APPEARANCE

DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY
ANNOUNCE WHO I AM?

BECAUSE IT IS A LIE.

YOLANDA, I THINK YOU'RE
BEING A LITTLE HARSH.

I'M BEING A LITTLE HARSH?

MM-HMM.

YOU JUST LOOK AT
WHAT YOUR WHITE WORLD

HAS DONE TO THIS WOMAN.

SHE DENIES HER BLACKNESS

BECAUSE IT IS
EASIER, PREFERABLE,

FOR HER TO GO THROUGH THE WORLD

HAVING PEOPLE
MISTAKE HER AS WHITE.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I'VE
GONE THROUGH THE WORLD.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

YOLANDA,

PERHAPS WE SHOULD TRY TO
REDIRECT THIS CONVERSATION.

IS THIS BLACK LADY
GETTING OUT OF CONTROL?

IS THAT

WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY, DAN?

WHY IS IT

THAT WHENEVER A BLACK WOMAN

HAS AN OPINION

SHE'S BEING CONFRONTATIONAL?

OKAY. THEY'RE NOT HERE.

WHAT?

CAN WE PLEASE GO? PLEASE.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

WE'RE HERE...

AND...

OH, FUCK.

NO, YOU'RE GOOD. YOU'RE GOOD.

HI. COULD I HAVE TWO...

YOU LOOK AMAZING.

SO...

YOU TAKE THIS AND COME WITH ME.

WHAT? WHEN WAS THAT?

SO THEN SHE SAYS,

"YOU WANT MY WHAT WHERE?"

HE SAYS, "IT'S
NOT GOING TO FIT."

WHO'S THE FREAK?

THE CHICK. THE CHICK WITH JENNY.

NO IDEA.

NEVER SEEN HER. MUST BE...

LOOK LIKE YOU'RE
HAVING A GOOD TIME.

IT MAKES HER WANT YOU BAD.

ALL RIGHT?

OKAY.

OKAY, JUST GIVE ME A SEC, OKAY?

THERE YOU GO.

WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DO

IS WE'VE GOT TO GET YOU
OVER NEXT TO FRANCESCA THERE

SO THAT MARINA CAN SEE YOU TWO.

SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL
AND I AM NOT BEAUTIFUL.

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.

BUT SHE IS SOPHISTICATED

AND I'M NOT.

YEAH, WELL, JENNY,

YOU'RE ONE HELL
OF A TRAMP, HONEY,

AND I'VE SEEN YOU WORK THAT.

REMEMBER ALL THE PROFESSORS

IN COLLEGE?

OKAY.

YEAH, YEAH.

REMEMBER THAT, JENNY?

OKAY,

SHE'S LOOKING...

SHE WANTS YOU BAD.

SERIOUSLY.

OKAY, WHAT DO I DO?

UM...

I DON'T KNOW.

COME ON, NOW.

CHANGE OF PLANS.

OKAY, SHE'S GETTING UP

AND I THINK SHE'S
GOING TO THE BATHROOM,

WHICH IS A SIGNAL

FOR TO YOU TO FOLLOW HER.

OKAY.

GO GET HER.

YOU CAN DO THIS.
YOU'RE A KITTEN OF LOVE.

NO, NO. SHH.

WATCH, WATCH.

SHE WANTS YOU.

GO GET HER.

HELLO AGAIN.

I THINK IT'S TIME
WE MET FORMALLY,

DON'T YOU?

FRANCESCA WOLFF.

I'M JENNY SCHECTER.

JENNY.

ANNETTE BISHOP.

ANNETTE.

YOU TWO KNOWN EACH
OTHER A LONG TIME?

UH, YEAH,

WE'VE KNOWN EACH
OTHER SINCE COLLEGE.

YEAH, BUT A LOT'S
CHANGED SINCE THEN,

HASN'T IT, JENNY?

YEAH, A LOT HAS CHANGED.

I REMEMBER

EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT WAS
TRUE BECAME SOMETHING ELSE.

I REMEMBER WATCHING
MY GIRLFRIENDS

TURN INTO THEIR MOTHERS,

AND SETTLE DOWN

WITH GUYS LIKE THEIR FATHERS.

IF YOU WANTED TO DO THINGS

A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY,

YOU HAD TO MOVE
TO NEW YORK OR L.A.

THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE

WITH OUR GENERATION.

NO, IT'S TRUE, ANNETTE.

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING
YOU THOUGHT WAS TRUE

DOES BECOME SOMETHING ELSE.

LISTEN,

I KNOW THIS CAN
BE A DIFFICULT TIME.

IT'S GOOD YOU TWO
HAVE EACH OTHER.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO
TALK TO SOMEBODY

WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH

SUCH BIG CHANGES.

WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE

THIS ILL-CONCEIVED AFFAIR,

BUT MARINA AND I WOULD
LOVE TO HAVE YOU OVER

FOR DINNER SOMETIME.

OH, THAT'S GREAT.

SHE'S TOLD ME A LOT ABOUT YOU.

SILENCE CAN BE VERY PRODUCTIVE.

LET'S JUST...

BREATHE IN THIS SILENCE

AND SEE WHERE IT TAKES US.

THIS SUCKS, MAN,

I'LL NEVER GET ALMA
TO STAY IN THE GROUP

IF EVERYONE KEEPS
FIGHTING LIKE THIS.

I SHOULD THINK OF
SOMETHING TO SAY.

GET US ON ANOTHER SUBJECT.

EXACTLY LIKE MY
MOTHER ALWAYS SAID.

"THERAPY IS FOR PEOPLE

WHO HAVE ENOUGH TIME AND
MONEY TO PAY TO MAKE PROBLEMS."

FUCK THIS GROUP.

FUCK YOU, DAN.

FUCK YOU, CHARLIE AND
MATT AND KAREN AND HARLEY.

YOU WANT AN ANGRY BLACK LADY,

YOU GOT HER.

ONE OF THESE DAYS

I AM GOING TO BRING
UP THE BALTIMORE THING.

NOW'S PROBABLY
NOT THE BEST TIME.

I FORGOT TO RETURN
CANTER'S CALL.

IF I DON'T CLOSE
THAT DEAL TOMORROW,

SONY'S LIABLE TO PULL OUT.

TILE WOULD BE BETTER

IF WE'RE GOING TO GO FOR
THAT SPANISHY TYPE FEEL.

I WONDER HOW LESBIANS KNOW
WHEN THEY'RE DONE HAVING SEX,

BECAUSE WOMEN CAN
JUST GO ON AND ON.

I'LL BET BETTE'S THE MAN.

UP MY PRICE TO 250 AN HOUR

AND I COULD...

I KNOW GROUP WAS HARD TODAY,

BUT I THINK WE GOT TO TALK

ABOUT SOME REALLY
IMPORTANT THINGS.

I THINK TOO OFTEN
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID

TO SAY WHAT THEY REALLY FEEL.

THEY'RE AFRAID THEY
MIGHT BE REJECTED.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?

AM I JUST PANICKING?

IS THIS ABOUT THE BABY,

OR AM I FALLING OUT OF LOVE?

IT'S HARD TO BE HONEST,

BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T REALLY WANT

TO HEAR THE TRUTH,

AND THE TRUTH IS DIFFERENT

FOR EVERYONE.

I GUESS THE BEST WE CAN DO

IS JUST TO SAY WHAT WE FEEL.

HEY.

GOOD NIGHT.

CIAO.
