Previously, on "The L Word."

So if it's just a sex thing then,
you can, get it under control, right?

- It is completely and totally over.
- Did you fuck all night ...

before you told her I was the
love of your life this morning?!

- Looks like I'm having this baby on my own.
- And your OK with that.

I want this baby more than ever.

I know it's not my place to judge you and
I don't know what's going on with you and Jenny...

- ..but I think this is wrong.
- Did you guys hear what happened to Marina?

- What? - A nervous breakdown,
complete and total.

- I just wanna say goodbye.
- Yeah, you going somewhere?



- Ohio, I took a job there.
- I?m leaving the day after tomorrow.

You should stay here.
Take over the lease.

Can't afford the rent on this house.

- Kit, I don?t have fifty thousand dollars.
- Ivan?s the only one that -who could possibly

- Ivan is not a good idea.
- Not yet.

Ivan. I'm a little early!

I didn't see anything.

You don't think that you could've
changed your plan a little bit?

I don't have a plan.
That's the point.

- Is that good?
- That's really good.

Tim.
Don't leave.

Where's Claybourne?

Oh! Claybourne! Claybourne!
Fuck! Oh!

2x02 - "Lap Dance"



It was, uh, Bette's house.
She bought it before we met.

But she put me on the
title after I moved in.

Did you contribute to
the mortgage payments?

I offered, but Bette never wanted me to.

I made pretty good money
as a Development Executive,

but not as much as Bette and
she insisted on paying the mortgage.

And you always did what Bette wanted?

No.

Did you pay for anything?

I... uh, paid for utilities and I...

..paid for the food. Although most of
the utilities are in Bette's name.

Well of course they are.

That's the way she wanted it.

Why should the little wife have
to put her name on anything?

That's absolutely not the case. I...

..just never bothered to change it.

Look, I don't even know why I'm here.
I'm not going after Bette's money.

- If we wind up in court -
- Wind up in court? Whoa!

I don't wanna be here.

She had to do something,
so I hooked her up.

With a lawyer?

Joyce Wischnia is the leading
gay civil rights attorney in L.A.

Jesus, Al, you and your fucking "best of" lists.

Bette and Tina don't need that.

Well, I wasn't really thinking about
Bette, I was thinking about Tina.

- Fine. What do you think she needs?
- I don't know.

A lap dance, maybe.
Not a fucking lawyer.

- Closed?
- What?

Shit.

Do you want me to tell you
why you need a lawyer?

Okay.

Because in the eyes of the world,

especially the world as
embodied by the courts,

.. you are shit.

You gave up your autonomy in a relationship
that the law doesn't recognize.

- And your ex controls everything.
- She always said what's hers is mine.

Doesn't matter whose name it was in.

If I needed money in my checking
account, I just took it from savings;

I was authorized on the account.
I never had to ask her for anything.

- Does it bother you if I smoke?
- I really wish that you wouldn't.

If you don't mind.

Okay.

Okay.

Let's review the facts.

- Did you give up your career at her urging?
- Yes.

Did you make a home for her,
did you cook, decorate, entertain,

..fill the house with liveliness and warmth?

Yes.

Okay. Did you offer your
womb to give birth to her child?

Bette doesn't know about this.

I mean, nobody knows about this.

- You're kidding.
- I just started showing.

I had a miscarriage about five months ago.

Bette didn't handle it so well. I didn't
want her to have to go through it again.

So you went and got inseminated on your own,

and you're protecting her until
you're sure it's going to stick.

Yeah.

And then she cheated on you.
She spread her legs for another woman.

- Could you please not say that?
- It's true! Deal with it.

- Doesn't it make you angry?
- Fuck, yes.

So what do you want?
Take responsibility for yourself.

Get what you rightfully deserve. And
don't let Bette decide that for you.

Look, Tina.
I am not a marriage wrecker.

If you want to get back
together with Bette... do you?

- I don't know.
- Well, either way.

You have to come to this from a position of strength.

Whether or not you and Bette eventuall reconcile
- especially if you decide to get back together...

and rebuild your relationship? First,
you need to have your autonomy.

- Can you see why?
- Yes, I can see why.

- I want my autonomy.
- Okay.

Who's Bette's lawyer?

The - the, the, Somalian Headtrip,
the espresso of the day.

I - is that different from a regular shot?

- No. - It's not.
- No.

Okay. Well then, can I have two...
of whichever's strongest.

- Okay.
- Okay? And can I have it filled ...

in a - tall cup, halfway?

Okay. Any flavoring?

What? In my coffee?

What the fuck is he talking
about with the flavoring?

Hey! Guys.

- Sorry, can you excuse us?
- Sorry. Excuse me-

Shane does not know what she's doing here.

What do you normally have at The Planet?

A double shot.

Give the woman a baby mindblower
with an extra hit of espresso.

You're gonna need the extra hit, Shane.
I mean, even though they call it the mindblower,

it's still not as strong as Planet coffee.

We will each have a toffee
nut caramel soy far-out frappe.

You don't mind, right?
Since we're here?

- A toffee... nut... soy...

- Far-out frappe.
- Far-out frappe.

That's... that's intense, Tonya.

That's what I'm in the mood for.

Dana didn't really say that she
as in the mood for one, though.

No, but she likes what I like.

She always wants what I want more
than what she wants. Right?

- It's true, I do.
- So nice.

- So lesbian.

Ivan's not calling me back.

Ivan, uh, doesn't wanna talk.

Just tell me where sh - he is.
I've been to the apartment, he's not there.

He's got a cabin in Idyllwild.

- He's got a cabin?
- Yeah.

Yeah. Ivan's got a cabin.
Yeah. Yeah, dude's set up.

Hey, I, you know, I appreciate
you being protective but it -

it's not what you think.
I really care for Ivan.

Sure.

I need to talk to him.

You know, what happened,
you know, with the two of you?

- When I saw her?
- When you saw her. Yeah.

Oh, I knew I shouldn't have
busted in, I should've waited.

It was bad.

I know it was bad for Ivan,
but it was unsettling for me, too

- You know, but we can get past that.
- Yeah, well, maybe not Ivan.

Ohh, it's crazy, of course we can!

- Y - just - just - let me have his address, please?
- Naw, you know, it'd be better to wait.

- Let him chill for a few days.
- I can't wait!

Then when Ivan gets back, just don't
mention it. Like it didn't happen

Dax! I can't wait. I don't have
a few days, you know what I'm sayin'?

Bette, I scoured the rentals.
These guys do a lot of short stays,

people coming in to do
movies and that kind of thing.

Give me that! I cannot
fucking afford movie star prices!

Uh, sorry, no, you misunderstood.
Its crew people, not movie stars.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Go ahead.

Okay, uh...

- Here it is. It's a little one bedroom
over on Barham. - In the Valley?

- On the cusp. It has a 323 area code so -
- What, are you trying to make sure she leaves me?

It's one of the few places
that rents month-to-month.

I thought if she wants
to come home after a month -

- I want you to keep looking.
- Okay, I'll keep looking.

And find something nicer.
I will not have Tina living like that.

Well, uh, if you're willing...

..if you want to sign a six
month lease, I saw this little...

I will sign a six month lease,
I don't care if I lose my money,

as long as it means Tina's coming home.

Okay

Here we go. This is, uh...

Come in.

I thought that you would be interested
to know I got a call from Tina's lawyer.

What kind of lawyer?

Uh, her name is Joyce Wischnia, and she
claims to specialize in civil and family matters.

- She's famous.
- I never heard of her.

She's a gay civil rights lawyer.

She was one of the first
to support same-sex adoptions.

Tina and I were going to use her.

She also does estate planning
and child custody,

domestic partnership arrangements...

And separation and divorce.

The hunter and...

... the hunted. You have
twenty minutes to write.

It's fiction. Not an essay. Not a poem.

Not a stream of consciousness
bellow of yearning from you soul.

Where's Aaron Engleberg?

Where'd you learn about
violin making, Aaron?

It's been passed down through my family.

My great-grandfather,
my grandfather, and my father.

All are master violin makers.

Very poignant. Lovely story,
it was my favorite submission.

Thank you.

The author of Storm Seller,
S-E-L-L-E-R?

Hunter Kirby.

Nice use of metaphor, Hunter.

But watch out for the puns.
And tell your dad I said hello.

I will. And, uh, my godfather
says to say hello.

- Who's your godfather?
- Edward. Albee.

Where is Sarah Shuster?

It's Jenny Schecter, actually.

Jenny Schecter,
Sarah Shuster. Well, well.

Miss Schecter has written a story called
Thus Spoke Sarah Schuster.

Uh, yes, I realize that it's arrogant.

Well arrogant is fine.
Hubristic,...

..overly precious bad
puns are to be avoided.

Especially if someone wants
to be accepted into my class.

Shall we begin?

The hunter...

..and the hunted.

This never happened.

That's it. Put down your pens.

That's right.

And cut.
Back to first positions, please.

Oh, God. How long
have you been there?

Just a, uh...

Just a few minutes, I saw that
sexy guitar player hitting on you.

Yeah.

Listen, I hope you don't mind,
your mom told me where you were.

Oh, no, no, I don't mind.

- Come with me?
- Yeah.

Well, also, I wanted... to apologize.
About the other night.

I was an asshole.

I know you don't want to talk to me.

Who told you where I am?

Look, we need to talk so we can...
get this behind us.

Well, I'm busy right now.

Ivan, I need your help.

And, I know it's a bad time,
but I just need 15 minutes.

No, that's okay, you know,
you don't want to...

get involved with anybody,
and that is cool.

- I'm glad it's cool with you.
- It's totally cool.

Well, it doesn't mean that...

... we can't fuck.

You want to fuck me?

Carmen?

Oh, fuck.

- Ignore it.
- I, I can't.

Uh, yeah. Go for Carmen.

I need a fresh battery, ASAP.

- Carmen?
- No, no, no, wait.

Okay, yeah, right away.

What are you doing later?

Oh, God, I have to go over to
my grandmother's, I can't let her down.

No problem.

I could come over to your place late.

No...
no, my roommates are gonna be there.

Well, what about tomorrow?

- No, tomorrow I'm getting a lap dance.
- Well, I could do a lap dance for you.

Yeah, I'd like that.

But, it - it's for my friend. She just,
uh, she got out of this relationship.

Yeah, those relationships.

They can really fuck you up.

Yeah.

You want a beer?

You're not drinking...

It's non-alcoholic.

I'm not going to blow
my sobriety, Kit.

Ivan, this - this doesn't have to be that hard.

I mean, after seeing you as
a woman, your body's beautiful.

- I mean, unless you don't want to be -
- Hey, you know,

why don't you just tell me
what you want from me, okay?

I brought... my business plan.

My sister Bette's gonna co-sign for the loan.

But the bank won't lend me the $75,000
unless I can come up with $50,000 in cash,

and she - she just doesn't have it.

$50,000 dollars is a lot of money.

Tomorrow I have to meet
Manfredi Ferrer,

..Marina's dad, and if
I don't have it together then...

..it's over for me.

Leave your business plan, I'll look it over.

- I have things I need to do now.
- Ivan...

Is... is there a... a chance?

You shouldn't count on me.

Wild boar hunting. Well, that's
certainly a literal interpretation.

Glock's submission looks promising.
I like the description of the, uh...

..lawn mower.
Always go for detail.

I see that Jenny Schecter has set her story
of The Hunter and the Hunted in a... carnival.

Is that a true story, Schecter?

- Yes. How did you know?
- It lacks imagination.

You haven't transformed it into fiction.

Thanks for trying, people.

You'll all hear from me
within the next ten days.

- Why are we doing this? - Because we
want them to take part in the wedding.

We want them in the wedding photos
We want your father to give you away.

Yeah, give me away.
He's probably going to disown me.

Honey, they know that we're
getting married. Don't they?

Yes.

And they haven't disowned
us yet have they?

Pookie, the worst they can do...

... is refuse to acknowledge us.

Which is pretty much what
they're doing already, right?

Yeah.

- I need you to go get ready.
- Okay.

I need you to wear
your hair in a ponytail.

And let me take care of everything else.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Fuck, Tina. Your shit's
everywhere. Fuck.

- Where the fuck is Tina?
- Bette.

She's not here, but
you're welcome to come in.

She's at work, um...

- she and Oscar are in some big project
- Did you know she's hiring a lawyer?

She's not hiring one, she
just went for a consultation.

Provide bank statements?
Have the house reappraised?

Supply a list of my assets?
Does that sound like a consultation?

She was just going to get some advice.

I thought she needed it, you know,
to feel like she had some options.

- You thought...? - Bette, you know what?
She doesn't have any money.

She doesn't have anything
of her own anymore.

You sent her to fucking Joyce Wischnia?

I just suggested she see a lawyer!

- Fuck you! - Fuck me?!
Yeah, fuck you! Weren't you my friend?

You know, I'm still your friend!
I'm totally your friend,

but you can be a little cruel!

I've been there. I remember.

That's low.

You and I dated for six weeks,
it was never gonna go anywhere,

I did us both a favor.

It's just... Tina's hurting.

And I would kind of like my
place back. Someday.

Well, I'll tell you what, my friend,
you can judge me all you want to.

You make me into a pariah,
I fucking deserve it.

But don't you dare interfere
with my life like that.

- Okay? Don't cross that line again!
- I didn't mean to cross a line.

I'm sorry!

- To sponsorship.
- To my little girl's brilliant career.

Is this a Skinny Russian?

Well, I knew that was
your drink, Sharon.

Mom? It's - it's actually
Tonya that's the brilliant one.

She's the one who
locked in the GM deal.

That's just the beginning.
Sharon, Irwin, do you realize ...

what an impact Dana can have?
Because she's -

well, because she's beautiful.

Because she looks like
the beautiful girl next door.

I think Dana's pretty near perfect.

Dana and your wife: two perfect
examples of strength balanced by femininity.

Sharon, Irwin... Dana and I have
something we'd like to ask you.

No, I'm sorry, you cannot have the Tiffany
lamps until Daddy and I are ready to downsize.

Well, you know that we've set a date.

We'd really like your blessing.

I don't know what difference that makes.

It would mean a lot.

Mom.

You know, I... I really don't understand.

I mean, look at you two.
Both of you such pretty girls!

And neither of you would have
any trouble finding a man.

We don't want to find
a man, Mom. God!

- Dana - No! It's just
frustrating, you know!

I - I try to tell you guys,
and you just don't listen!

It's okay.

Sharon, I was engaged once before.
I - I don't know if Dana told you.

No, no she didn't.

Well... his name was Bayard.

He was smart and successful
- he was a real estate lawyer.

He was totally in love with me.

Now, I tried really hard
to make that one work.

But every night I would wake up
in the middle of the night, crying.

And one night, Bayard woke
up and he found me like that.

- Do you know what he did?
- Damned if I do.

He got down on
one knee and he said,...

"Tonya, will you not marry me?"

"Because I know what's in your heart."

"And I love you too much
to make you unhappy."

"Be true to yourself, Tonya.
Follow your heart."

Am I really saving the environment
if I am ordering an Awesome?

Not if it's spills in your Prius.

Hi, I'm gonna try that toffee
nut caramel soy frappuccino drink.

No, no, no, no. No. Tonya
ordered it yesterday, it was lethal.

- Too bad she didn't keel
over and die. - Al...

Oh, I'm sorry, was that too
brutally frank and honest for you?

I don't know you guys,
I don't trust her...

- ..and I hope Dana gets a pre-nup.
- She should go see Joyce Wischnia

What? Don't get me involved in that.

Bette totally reams me for uh,
suggesting Tina see a lawyer.

Well, I can't blame her.
Sorry, Tina.

Look, I've been taking care
of people my whole life.

It's about time I started
to take care of myself.

That's why I need a lawyer.

Yeah, but... poor Bette.

Well, she's not exactly
an innocent party.

I know, but... you know, getting
a lawyer means that things will get ugly.

Couldn't you just try to...
work it out together?

Bette and I need to be on equal
footing before there is any chance...

..that we could work anything out.
I need my autonomy.

I don't think I wrote
very well yesterday,

and I think that Madame
Birch didn't really like me.

She's probably jealous because
you're so gifted. And hot.

Of course.

Come on. Come meet my friends.

Today's the day.
You're gonna love Ling-Ling.

- Okay. Okay now, Ling-Ling...
- Yeah.

... is...

- the graphic designer! Right?
- Actually, not quite.

- Ling-Ling's seven months old.
- Okay.

- Her mom, Claudia, is the
graphic designer. - Right.

- And her other mother, Margaret,
is the geriatric nurse. - Right.

- Right?
- Right. Right. Alright.

- And they have, um, an adopted
Chinese baby. - Yeah.

Okay, who else?

Uh, is it - is it all gonna be couples today?

Yeah.

Yeah, most of my
friends are married.

They sort of, um, took
care of me after, you know,

Claybourne and I broke up.

They were really
happy when I met you.

Does she know that we
- we're having coffee?

She's in Newport Beach
with her family.

No, she doesn't know,
but I'm not - I'm not hiding it.

So.

Well if she's at the beach,
we could have just met at your place,

..like the good ol' days.

But... we have rules
and we're trying to follow them.

Does that mean that you're finding...
it... a li - difficult...

No. No, not at all, you?

Piece of cake.

Come on Ling-Ling.
Come on, say your word.

Come on Ling-Ling.
Come on, say your word.

Oh, she just said her first word.
Come on, say your word.

- Do you want to have children, Jenny?
- Oh, gosh.

I - I - I - I don't know.
I don't know.

You know, I - I just kind of feel like
I shouldn't be thinking about it now, you know.

You've got all the time in the world.

Now Robin should probably
be the first to get pregnant.

- Nora, what are you doing?
- Well, you gotta get on with it.

Robin's gonna make a great mother,
Jenny. She's a born nurturer.

Yes. She's a - she's a very kind lady.

It's, uh, a little soon for them to
be talking about children, Nora.

Oh, come on, we're lesbians.
We talk about everything.

Yeah and anyway, one of the problems with
Claybourne was that they didn't talk enough.

I mean, Robin didn't even know that
Clayborne didn't believe in monogamy

until the day of the wedding.

Did you know that Claybourne cheated
on Robin at their own wedding?

You should have been there.
She was stunning.

We'd like to see her in that tux again.

Thank you very much for the day.

Ah, you're welcome.

Do you want to be alone or...
can I come in?

I don't. I think that we need to talk.

Okay.

- Talk to me.
- I like you very much.

That's a very bad way
to begin a conversation.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm just not ready
to be married again.

Well Jen, I haven't
asked you to marry me.

Robin, it's so obvious to me,
that's what you want.

And I kind of feel like...

I don't know, that you
set me up or something.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, they leapt to that conclusion
'cause that's what they want for me.

Ya know? You can't punish me just
because my friends want me to find,

- ..you know, an equitable partner.
- Okay, I'm - I'm not trying to punish you.

Look, Robin, I'm just
realizing that, um, I need to...

I - I just need to be alone right now.

Jen, you can have time alone.

You don't have to be
with me every second.

Okay, um... uh...

I need to try and be self-sufficient.

Well, I've never really
been on my own before...

and...

I think that I need to just...
to feel scared.

There's nothing to be scared of.

- I - I'm not a scary person.
- Oh Robin, come on.

I mean I'm - I'm so -
I'm terrified of being on my own.

I just gotta make myself
do it, Robin, and I can't -

I can't distract myself by creating
all this fucking labyrinth-like drama

that I'm so good at creating
and I promise you...

that you do not want to get
sucked into my fucking bullshit.

You know what? Don't. Okay?

Don't - don't tell me
what I want and don't want.

- I know what I fucking want.
- Okay, well I'm gonna speak for myself.

- Please.
- This is uh - this is what I want.

I can't believe you're doing this.

I...

I can't go through this again.

I don't know Robin, that's why
I'm saying we should stop now

before we actually go through anything.

Can I ask you something?

Did I blow it by taking you
to meet my friends today?

No. I think that your friends
seem like really good people.

And they seem, uh...

very mature and very um...

settled in their life.

So, um...

you don't want to
be in a relationship?

No, I don't. - You just
wanna sleep with people.

Make them fall in love with you,
o you can fuck with their heads.

- No, that's not what I want.
- Well, that's what you did.

Great.

That's why I think we should
end this right now before...

I disappoint you any
more than I obviously have.

Hello?
This is she.

I don't think that women,
especially lesbians,

should exploit other women.

Well, the strippers I know
do it because they love it.

Wait a minute, haven't
you ever had a lap dance?

Is there anyone else here
who hasn't had a lap dance?

Oh, my innocent little sweetie!

Would you like one?

That would be okay with you?

Well, if Dana wanted one.

But she doesn't want anyone
else's booty in her booty right now.

Do ya, Pookie?

Woah.

What?

Just - Dana!
She's getting married!

Hey.

I'm just picking up.
I'll be two minutes. Thanks.

I don't think I want the first woman to
ever touch me other than Bette...

- ... to be a stripper.
- Did I hear what I think I just heard?

Bette's the only woman
you've ever been with?

You heard it right, missus.

We are getting you
a lap dance tonight.

Here you go. Thanks.

Hey Bette. Bette!

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Wait, wait.

This sucks.

Yeah, this sucks.

Listen, I gotta go.
I gotta go meet Kit, so...

I'm just uh... I'm just sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Thanks.

- Whaddaya think, huh?
- I think it's hideous.

Well, they're all different, you know?
Some have real boobies.

Keep looking, I'm sure
you'll see some you like.

C'mon, honey.
It's good fun. C'mon.

Well, maybe we can get
Mister Ferrer to give you more time.

I can go to the bank with
you and we can try again.

- Try what?
- Try to get them to lend you the full amount.

I can put up some artwork as collateral.

No, I can't have you
do that, it's too much.

You're already putting
yourself on the line.

You know, I wouldn't be doing this if
I thought I was gonna lose my shirt, okay?

Thank you.
That means the world to me.

I don't think Marina's daddy's
gonna give us a break.

He sounds like he wants
to get this over with fast.

Hey there, good lookin'.
Can I get ya anything to drink?

Thanks.

Well... can I offer you anything else?
I've got a lot to offer.

I'm with my friends, but maybe later.

Maybe later.

You're a player, right?

Right. Yeah.

- Oh, sorry.
- What are you doing here?

- I have to go to the bathroom.
- You have to get out, that's against the rules.

- No, I have to go to the bathroom, Al.
- Are you three?

Can't you hold it for a minute?

No.

Fine. Fine. Go on.

Go on.

You guys!

Hurry up! Tina's found someone
she likes, I think. - Wow! That's exciting!

C'mere!

We gotta be quick.

- Jesus, is that him?
- Count Dracula rides a Hog?

Excellent. Maybe he's more
down-to-earth than I thought.

- Ladies. - Ivan...
what are you doing here

I have a cashier's check for $50,000 dollars,
I'm coming in as your partner.

- Oh, Ivan...

It's a business arrangement, Kit.
Straight up.

I'm in because I like this plan.
I'm your silent partner.

I have nothing to do
with your day-to-day. Okay?

I don't need to hear from you,
I won't be hanging around.

I see a statement once a month.

- But Ivan -
- That's how it's gotta be.

If you want it.

Good luck.

So you wanna tell me what's going on?

I dunno, supposedly Tina
found a girl she likes.

No, I mean with you and Dana.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Are you guys getting it on yet, or what?

No!

Okay. Okay.
We kissed!

How'd you figure...
does anyone else know?

- Doubt it.
- You're a freak, you know that, Shane?

Check it out.

- Excuse me, ladies.
- Hi.

You go, girl.

Give her some
encouragement, T.

Do you notice anything about her?

Yeah, she looks a little bit like Bette.

I am Manfredi de la Francesco Ferrer. Si?

Oh, si, buonasera Count - Manfredi.

Si. I don't have a lot of time, so just
show me what I need to know.

The money is in place?
I want a glass of wine.

Uh, red or white?

Red. French or Italian.
Not one of those California abominations.

Well I've heard that California
wines are pretty good these days.

I hate Los Angeles. I don't
know why Marina came here.

This is a loan for $75,000 dollars,
with a contingency. Si?

Uh, si, yes. I have here
$50,000 dollars in a cashier's check.

I think Marina felt she had a home here.
She had a lot of good friends.

Bullshit.

Who are you?
Which one is Kit Porter?

- I am.
- And you are?

Bette Porter.

- Ahh. Si. You're the one.
- The one what?

Such judges, you Americans.

You sit in judgment on the whole world.
Who gave you this power to judge?

Now, wait a minute your highness,
or whatever you would like for us to call you -

Are you really such an exemplary person?

Are you perfect, are you
better than anyone else?

No. No, I'm not.

You're so conventional, you Americans.

Thinking one style of life is better than another?

- We have so many ways.
- Look, I know that I judged Marina too harshly,

- but that doesn't give you the right -
- The heart is stronger than the head.

Remember.

And everyone is capable
to commit a passionate crime.

And everyone deserves
the compassion to start again.

Amen to that.

So how is your daughter, is she okay?

- My daughter?
- Marina.

Marina is not my daughter.

We are married twelve years.

Marina is my wife!

And she is in a hospital in Milano,
and no thanks to your friendship.

Everything looks here to be in order.

My people will call you
to conclude the business.

Hey.

Hey.

So what did you all do?

Nothing much.
We just hung out.

I'm glad you called me.
I was... feeling pretty lonely.

- Do you want one?
- No thanks.

Tina hired a lawyer, you know.

Yeah, I heard.

How did I let this get
so fucked up, Shane?

- Shit's not always in our control.
- I used to think that it was.

I learned early on that if you want
to avoid that big mess.

that sucks and fucks with your life...

you just keep it simple.

You mean like sex with
no emotional entanglements?

Right. That's just me.

I don't think that applies to you, you're a...

very well-rounded individual.

I don't know. I think...

I just might like to study at your feet, Shane.

Hey.

Hey! Who's that?
Oh hey!

C'mon over and
have a beer with us.

Okay.

Hello.
Hey.

We were just talking about sex
with no emotional entanglements.

I like the sound of that.

It's not for everyone.

You know what?
With the day that I've had,

..that sounds like that's for me.

- Cheers. - Catching up on
current events or something?

Yes.

These are all the local newspapers...

..with people advertising for roommates.

I just put this ad in Craigslist,
looking for a roommate.

- I hope that I don't get a bunch of crazies.
- So, you're looking for a roommate.

Yeah. I don't even know...
how to screen people,

.. or what I should ask in rent.

- Would they get their own room?
- Yeah, yeah, it's like ...

..it's a two-bedroom house.

We should talk.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Why not, right?

- Yeah!
- Alright.

Why are you laughing?
