PREVIOUSLY ON THE L WORD...

THIS IS MY CELL.

CALL ME ANY TIME.

COUPLE MINUTES. COME ON.

I WANTED TO SAY THAT THIS
THING YOU'RE GOING THROUGH...

THIS THING?

THIS CHANGE OF LIFE IS REALLY...

IT'S BEAUTIFUL,

AND IT'S SEXY, AND...

THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT THE GUITAR.

I'M NOT FISH OR FOWL.



I WANT YOU TO GET DRESSED, MAX.

I WANT YOU TO WEAR
TIGHT TROUSERS.

YOU LOOK REALLY HOT.

I'LL THROW DOWN THE KEYS.
CAN YOU LET YOURSELF IN?

SURE.

WHY DON'T WE GET OUT OF HERE?

I THINK UTA MIGHT BE A VAMPIRE.

THEY FOUND A LUMP IN MY BREAST.

IT'S ROUTINE. A LUMP?

I'M HAVING IT REMOVED.

CARMEN, THIS IS CHERIE.

ACT LIKE YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND.

[♪♪]

JESUS, BETTE.



ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?

YOU ALMOST FORGET IT'S A BODY.

UH, NO, BETTE,

IT'S DEFINITELY A BODY.

DANICA PALMER SAYS

MAPPLETHORPE ISN'T EVEN INTO

THE PROCESS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.

PROFESSOR PALMER TO YOU.

SHE SAYS MAPPLETHORPE
LIKES TO THINK

OF THE PHOTOGRAPH AS AN OBJECT.

HE CALLS IT

AN EXPERIENCE YOU
CAN HOLD IN YOUR HAND.

YEAH...

I GUESS YOU COULD HOLD

THAT EXPERIENCE IN YOUR HAND.

ARE YOU HARD?

UM...

[LAUGHS]

ARE YOU OKAY?

YOU'RE FUCKING THAT
GUY IN THE PHOTOGRAPH.

I DO IT, TOO.

YOU DO?

TO WHOM?

[LAUGHS]

[DOOR UNLOCKING]

[KEYS JANGLING]

[FLOORBOARD CREAKS]

DID YOU FUCK HER?

[SIGH]

HAVE YOU FUCKED HIM YET?

DID I FUCK WHO?

WHOEVER IT IS THAT YOU
HAVE THESE FEELINGS FOR.

NO.

I HAVEN'T SLEPT WITH ANYONE.

SO HE'S JUST THIS
AMORPHOUS MALE FIGURE

COMPRISED ENTIRELY
OF CYBER POLLEN?

THAT WAS A ONE-TIME
THING IN A CHAT ROOM.

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST CURIOSITY.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD GO AWAY.

BUT IT DIDN'T GO AWAY.

NO, IT DIDN'T.

SO DADDYOF2 WAS JUST A...

A TRANSITIONAL OBJECT?

YEAH, I GUESS.

[EXHALES]

SO, UM...

IS THERE A...

IS THERE A REAL MAN IN THE
REAL WORLD SOMEWHERE?

NO, I...

I DON'T KNOW.

OKAY, YEAH.

I THINK SO.

WHO IS IT?

HIS NAME IS JOSH.

THAT'S THE PRODUCER, RIGHT?

RIGHT?

NOTHING'S HAPPENED.

FOR ALL I KNOW, HE'S NOT
EVEN INTERESTED IN ME.

OH, TINA, PLEASE, OF COURSE
HE'S INTERESTED IN YOU.

I'VE HEARD YOU TALKING TO HIM

ON THE PHONE.

YOU CAN'T FLIRT LIKE THAT

UNLESS SOMEONE IS
FLIRTING BACK WITH YOU.

[ANGUS]: I LOVE YOU.

YOU KNOW HOW MANY
MEN HAVE SAID THAT

RIGHT AFTER THEY
DID WHAT YOU JUST DID?

WELL, THAT'S NONE
OF MY BUSINESS.

THEN...

THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING
TO GO OUT FOR COFFEE,

OR PUT GAS IN THE CAR,

AND THEN THREE YEARS LATER,

I BUMP INTO THEM
IN THE STREET...

ON A DAY THAT I LOOK LIKE SHIT.

WELL, I AM DIFFERENT.

YOU'RE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW

THAT YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT
THAN ANY OTHER MAN.

I AM 35 YEARS OLD... OH, OH...

I AM ALMOST MIDDLE-AGED.

NOW, THAT IS
CERTAINLY OLD ENOUGH

TO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.

THAT'S A BIG WORD
YOU'RE THROWING AROUND.

BIG.

OKAY, IF YOU DON'T
FEEL THE SAME WAY,

YOU DON'T FEEL THE SAME WAY.

OH, ANGUS...

NO, KIT, I KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE GOING TO SAY.

YOU'RE GOING TO SAY,
"OH, LET'S TAKE MORE TIME,"

AND THAT'S FINE.

I MEAN, WE'VE GOT ALL
THE TIME IN THE WORLD,

BUT THE ONE THING I KNOW

IS HOW I FEEL, AND...

I DOUBT YOU DON'T FEEL IT, TOO,

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I WAS THERE.

[SIGHS]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
YOU WERE THERE, ANGUS?

[STAMMERING]

OKAY, SO WE HAD

A COUPLE OF GOOD
ROLLS IN THE BARN.

I COUNTED FOUR, ACTUALLY.

OKAY, OKAY, FOUR
FANTASTIC ORGASMS.

OKAY, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[SIGHS]

SO, WHAT, I'M JUST YOUR BOY TOY?

IS THAT IT?

WELL, W...

WOULD THAT BE BAD?

YEAH, THAT'D BE BAD.

I'M DEFINITELY NOT THAT GUY.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

HI, ALICE.

HELLO, JANICE.

OH, MY GOD, WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I THINK I MAY HAVE
JUST BEEN RELEASED

FROM MY MORTAL COILS.

HEY, JANICE...

WOULD YOU MIND...

DISPOSING OF THIS
OBSOLETE THING?

TRASH OR RECYCLING?

TRASH, RECYCLING. I DON'T KNOW.

CAN YOU RECYCLE FOAM CORE?

I DON'T KNOW.

YEAH, WELL, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK,

BECAUSE I AM FREE AT LAST.

WHOO!

OH, HERE, BABY, LET ME GET IT.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T
NEED DEODORANT.

I MEAN, I'M GOING TO BE
IN THE HOSPITAL, RIGHT?

I MEAN, WHAT'S THE POINT?

THEN AGAIN, I GUESS NOBODY

LIKES TO BE AROUND
THE SMELL OF ROT.

DANA...

NO, LARA, IT'S TRUE.

I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT.

I DON'T WANT THOSE.

THEY BUNCH UP TOO MUCH.
I WANT THE GREEN ONES.

OKAY.

THE GREEN ONES.

ANYTHING ELSE?

[SNIFFLING]

HERE YOU GO...

HERE YOU GO. THANKS.

COME ON, PACE,
PACE, PACE. MOVE IT.

AH, GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

IS IT FOR ONE?

YES.

JENNY, COULD YOU SIT...

OH, MY GOD, HI! HI!

IT'S SO NICE TO SEE
YOU! IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

UH-OH, YOU DIDN'T
GET MY MESSAGE?

NO.

I'M HERE TO SEE YOU.

OH, MY GOD, WOW, UM...

OH, THANK YOU.

I'LL SIT DOWN.

OKAY, GREAT.

AND YOU SHOULD SIT DOWN.

I KNOW IT'S A BIT UNUSUAL

FOR A PUBLISHER
TO JUMP ON A PLANE

AND FLY ACROSS THE
COUNTRY TO SEE A WRITER.

WELL, I'M JUST GRATEFUL

THAT YOU TOOK
THE TIME TO READ IT.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT
MY DAUGHTER'S LIKE.

REBECCA WOULDN'T STOP
UNTIL I'D READ EVERY WORD.

AND I'M VERY
GRATEFUL THAT I DID.

HOW IS REBECCA?

UH, JENNY...

YES?

TABLE SEVEN WOULD
LIKE HER CHECK.

BILLIE, IT WOULD
BE SUPER FANTASTIC

IF YOU COULD
ACTUALLY COVER FOR ME

JUST FOR FIVE MINUTES.

HERE YOU GO, UM...

AND THEN THIS. I'M SO SORRY.

SORRY.

LET ME GET RIGHT
DOWN TO BUSINESS.

OKAY.

WE WANT TO PUBLISH YOUR BOOK.

NEXT FALL.

I WANT TO LINE IT UP

AGAINST SOME OF THE BIG HITTERS,

MAKE THE CRITICS
REALLY TAKE NOTICE.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YEAH,

AND IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME
WE HAVE THIS CHANCE TO TALK,

BECAUSE I HAVE TO ASK
YOU SOMETHING, JENNY.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

HOW MUCH OF THE NOVEL IS TRUE?

I'M IMAGINING THAT A LOT
OF THE THINGS IN THIS BOOK

ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO YOU.

UM, YEAH, I MEAN, IT
CUTS CLOSE TO THE BONE.

NOT SINCE BASTARD
OUT OF CAROLINA

HAVE I BEEN SO
THOROUGHLY CONVINCED.

THE WAY YOU HANDLE TRAUMA,

AND THE LANDSCAPE OF
THAT POOR GIRL'S MIND...

YOU WERE A CUTTER, RIGHT?

REBECCA WOULD NEVER SAY,

BUT, YOU KNOW, FROM
WHAT YOU WROTE...

I WAS, BUT I'M NOT NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO SEND
YOU ON A BOOK TOUR,

AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE
AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
I'D TALK ABOUT ME,

BECAUSE THE BOOK IS FICTION.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT,
UNFORTUNATELY, JENNY,

PEOPLE AREN'T BUYING
LITERARY FICTION

THE WAY THEY USED TO.

IN TODAY'S CLIMATE,

SURVIVOR MEMOIRS HAVE
A MUCH BETTER CHANCE

OF BREAKING OUT AND
REACHING AN AUDIENCE...

JENNY, OKAY, CUT IT,
PRINT IT, MOVING ON.

COME ON.

KIT...

KIT, I'M SORRY. BILLIE...

I'D LIKE YOU GUYS
TO MEET JAN MARTIN,

WHO'S HERE FROM
SIMON & SCHUSTER.

SHE FLEW IN FROM NEW YORK
TO TALK TO ME ABOUT MY NOVEL.

HI. HEY.

HI. OH, UH, BILLIE...

I THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT, OKAY?

YES, SEE, WE'RE NOT
EVEN THAT BUSY, OKAY?

WE'RE SLAMMED.

THAT'S OKAY.

[BILLIE]: JESUS...

I'M SORRY, SO NOT TO BE ANAL,

BUT HOW MUCH OF THE CONTENT
WOULD I HAVE TO CHANGE?

NOT ALL THAT MUCH.

I'M GIVING YOU ONE OF
OUR MOST GIFTED EDITORS,

NEVE SARAFIAN.

OH, MY GOD, WOW.

JENNY, YOU'VE WRITTEN
A WONDERFUL BOOK,

AND I REALLY WANT
TO GET IT OUT THERE.

HERE YOU GO.

WHAT IS THIS?

THE FIRST HALF OF YOUR ADVANCE.

TAKE A LOOK.

WILL YOU EXCUSE ME
JUST FOR ONE SECOND?

JUST...

OF COURSE.

OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD!
OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

[SQUEALING]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

OH, MY GOD, I'M SO HAPPY!

MAYBE WE SHOULD
TAKE THAT TRIP TO PARIS

IN THE SPRING.

THAT WAY...

LARA, PLEASE.

DANA FAIRBANKS?

YEAH.

DANA, FOLLOW ME, PLEASE.

CAN SHE COME WITH ME?

OF COURSE.

OKAY.

OKAY, IF YOU'LL PUT THIS ON...

SOMEBODY WILL BE
WITH YOU IN A MOMENT.

THANKS.

AND WE DO LIKE OUR PATIENTS

TO MARK WHICH BREAST IT IS.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

WE'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.

IT'S JUST FOR SAFETY.

OKAY? OKAY.

ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH HER?

NO.

ARE YOU SURE?

YEAH.

PLEASE, CARMEN, I DON'T WANT
TO MAKE THIS INTO A BIG DEAL.

YOU GO ALL THE WAY OVER
TO SOMEBODY'S BEACH HOUSE,

AND YOU FUCK THEM
TILL THE SUN COMES UP,

AND YOU'RE ASKING
ME NOT TO MAKE IT

INTO A BIG FUCKING DEAL!

YOU WERE PRACTICALLY COMING

ALL OVER THOSE
TWO DEF JAM GUYS...

THAT WAS WORK...

DON'T YOU START.
YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE...

THAT WAS WORK, AND YOU KNOW IT!

ARE YOU JEALOUS?

NO.

I'M NOT FUCKING JEALOUS.

IT JUST MADE ME SAD.

OH, YOU WERE SO FUCKING SAD

THAT YOU GO OFF AND
YOU FUCK CHERIE JAFFE?

SHANE, WHAT KIND OF A
PSYCHOTIC RESPONSE IS THAT?

WELL, I GUESS I'M REALLY
FUCKED UP IN THAT WAY.

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

YEAH, I'M STARVING.

YOU ARE?

YEAH.

UM...

WE'VE GOT SOME PIZZA.

DO YOU WANT SAUSAGE,
OR FUCKING PEPPERONI?

FUCK, CARMEN!

WHAT THE FUCK IS IT
THAT YOU WANT, HUH?

THE SEX WAS FUCKING MEANINGLESS?

YOU KNOW WHAT, SOMETIMES IT IS.

IN THAT CASE,

YOU SHOULD HAVE
NO FUCKING PROBLEM

WITH ME GOING OUT AND
FUCKING WHOEVER I WANT.

HEY, TINA?

I THINK YOU SHOULD EXPLORE IT,

THIS JOSH THING.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW,

YOU REALLY NEED TO
KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT,

AND FRANKLY, SO DO I.

THIS IS SO SCREWED UP.

ARE YOU TELLING ME
TO SLEEP WITH HIM?

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT.

WELL, YOU NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT,

AND YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT I CAN'T PROMISE

THAT I'LL STILL BE HERE ONCE
YOU'VE GOT YOUR ANSWERS.

AND THAT SHOULD DO IT.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, OKAY?

OKAY.

THANKS.

HI, DANA.

HI, DR. SHAPIRO.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

OKAY.

THIS IS MY PARTNER, LARA.

HI, LARA. HI.

WHEN THE
ANESTHESIOLOGIST ARRIVES,

I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE,

BUT DON'T WORRY,

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
GOOD CARE OF HER.

I JUST WANTED TO COME IN AND
MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE CLEAR

ABOUT WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO DO THIS MORNING.

WE WON'T KNOW
EVERYTHING, OF COURSE,

UNTIL WE'RE INSIDE, BUT...

I ALSO WANTED TO GIVE
YOU AN OPPORTUNITY

TO LOOK AT YOUR CONSENT FORM.

YOU'VE ALREADY SIGNED IT,

BUT JUST IN CASE YOU
WANTED TO SEE IT AGAIN

BEFORE WE BEGIN.

I'M FINE WITH IT.

OKAY, THEN.

OKAY...

I'M GOING TO BE RIGHT HERE
AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP.

EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE FINE.

PROMISE?

I PROMISE.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

DYLAN AND DANNY ARE HERE.

THANKS, ROSIE. YOU
CAN TELL HELENA.

OKAY.

HI, DYLAN. HI.

GOOD TO SEE YOU. YOU, TOO.

NICE TO HI, DANNY.
SEE YOU AGAIN.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME
COFFEE, SOME WATER?

NO, THANKS.

WATER WOULD BE GREAT.

GREAT. HAVE A SEAT.

THANK YOU.

HELENA WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE.

ALL RIGHT.

SO HOW'S THE EDITING GOING?

IT'S GOING WELL.

I STILL NEED TO DO SOME
MORE SHOOTING, THOUGH,

SO, YOU KNOW.

HER LATEST STUFF... INCREDIBLE.

I MEAN, THE GIRLS
ARE REALLY STARTING

TO TRUST HER, SO, I MEAN...

HI.

HELENA PEABODY.

YEAH, WE MET.

DID WE?

OH, RIGHT, AT THE SCREENING.

YEAH, RIGHT, YEAH.

DYLAN...

IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

UM...

YOU ARE THE CUTEST
BOY I HAVE EVER SEEN.

ARE YOU DOING HORMONES?

NO.

NOT YET.

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT, MAX.

I CAN HOOK YOU UP.

YEAH?

MM-HMM.

I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR
A DOCTOR'S PRESCRIPTION?

JUST ASK TOM. REMEMBER HIM?

YOU MET HIM AT MY PARTY.

UH-HUH.

ANYTIME YOU WANT,
JUST LET ME KNOW.

RAWR.

OKAY, WE'RE TALKING MONOGAMY.

IT IS A NOUN, AND IT IS

"THE CONDITION OR PRACTICE

OF HAVING A SINGLE MATE
DURING A PERIOD OF TIME."

I GET IT, CARMEN.

WAIT A MINUTE.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.

UM...

OH, LISTEN TO THIS.

"MONOGAMY IS
COMMON AMONG BIRDS."

THAT'S GREAT,
BECAUSE I LOVE BIRDS.

IT IS THE PRACTICE

OF HAVING A SINGLE MATE
DURING A PERIOD OF TIME.

DOES THAT...

MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?

I'M WILLING TO TRY.

I MEAN, IS THAT NOT ENOUGH?

I'M WILLING TO TRY SOMETHING

THAT DOESN'T COME
NATURALLY TO ME

AND THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND,

BUT I'M WILLING TO TRY.

MM-HMM.

RIGHT.

BIRDS, SHANE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT A
GODDAMN FUCKING BIRD,

ASKING YOU TO BE AS CIVILIZED

AS A GODDAMN FUCKING BIRD.

DON'T.

REALLY?

REALLY, DON'T. DON'T DO IT?

NO. I SHOULDN'T DO IT.

IT'S WRONG. IT'S
COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE.

FUCK!

[LAUGHS]

OH...

KNOCK, KNOCK.

HI!

HEY, WEIRDOS.

YOU STILL TRYING TO
GET HER TO QUIT SMOKING?

AH, YOU KNOW,

JUST A LITTLE TALK
ABOUT MONOGAMY.

OH!

YEAH.

YEAH, ONE OF THOSE.

[SPITS]

YOU'RE A FUCKING EXPERT.

DID YOU KNOW
BIRDS MATE FOR LIFE?

[COUGHING]

HEY, WELL, DO YOU KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT BATS?

BATS...

BATS, BATS, BATS. NO.

TOO BAD, BECAUSE I GOT BITTEN.

WHAT?

DON'T BE JEALOUS.

OH, MY GOD.

OKAY, BUT DON'T LAUGH,

BECAUSE I COULD REALLY
BE ONE OF THE UNDEAD

IN, LIKE, TWO DAYS.

AL...

AND DO MY EYES
LOOK A LITTLE BLACK?

I'M SERIOUS.

NO, COME ON, AL,
YOU GOT EMBRACED.

I SURE DID.

NO, IT'S CALLED A
VAMPIRE'S EMBRACE.

THERE'S, LIKE, THESE LESBIAN

VAMPIRE GOTH CULTS.

SO WHAT THEY DO
IS THEY PICK A VICTIM,

THEY, LIKE, TAKE THEM HOME,
SEDUCE THEM, FUCK THEM BLIND...

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.

AND THEN THEY BITE YOUR NECK.

IT WAS THE BEST
SEX I'VE EVER HAD

IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

I CAME, LIKE, 9,000 TIMES.

DID YOU HEAR THAT, SHANE?

WHAT?

LIKE, 9,000 ORGASMS.

THAT'S FANTASTIC, ALICE.

AND THEN I THREW DANA
OUT WHEN I GOT HOME.

YOU THREW DANA OUT?

THE POINT-OF-SALE
PROMOTIONAL FOAM-CORE CUTOUT,

SHE'S GONE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU.

SO, UM, I'M GOING TO GO
TO SLEATER-KINNEY TONIGHT

WITH UTA.

YOU GUYS COMING?

I DON'T KNOW.

ARE WE?

ONLY IF YOU MANAGE TO
CLEAN UP YOUR ACT BY THEN.

YEAH, SHANE,

YOU REALLY SHOULD QUIT SMOKING.

MM-HMM. IT'S GROSS.

LOOK, AS MUCH AS WE WANT TO BE

IN BUSINESS WITH YOU,

DYLAN'S NOT PREPARED
TO GIVE UP HER FINAL CUT.

THIS IS HER BABY, RIGHT?

I'M SORRY,

BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
THAT WE WOULD...

IT'S FINE.

WE WOULDN'T DREAM OF TAKING AWAY

DYLAN'S FINAL CUT
OF HER OWN MOVIE.

HELENA...

GREAT...

IT'S FINE WITH ME, TINA.

THAT'S GREAT.

CARMEN?

YEAH?

I MADE A MISTAKE.

AND...

AND I CAN'T SAY THAT
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

I'D RATHER BE A
FUCKUP THAN A LIAR...

BUT I WANT TO TRY.

YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON
I WANT TO MAKE THAT...

I WANT TO MAKE THAT PROMISE TO.

[CRYING]

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

I THINK THE PAPERWORK

SHOULD PROBABLY
TAKE ABOUT A WEEK.

THAT'S WHAT OKAY. I'M THINKING.

OH, MY JACKET. SORRY.

UM, I'LL CATCH YOU UP.

OKAY.

I... I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

OKAY.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE ACTING LIKE...

LIKE WE DON'T EVEN
KNOW EACH OTHER.

WE DON'T KNOW
EACH OTHER, HELENA.

REALLY?

I... I GOT CAUGHT
UP IN THE WORK,

AND WHAT... WHAT WE
WERE TALKING ABOUT...

I GET REALLY OPEN AND VULNERABLE

WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT MY WORK,

BUT NOTHING LIKE THAT HAS
EVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE.

NOTHING LIKE THAT HAS EVER
HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE EITHER.

WELL, YOU'RE GAY.

WELL, NOTHING THAT INTENSE.

LOOK, I'M... I'M
STRAIGHT, HELENA,

AND I'M WITH DANNY,

AND MAYBE THAT MAKES YOU

NOT WANT TO SUPPORT
ME AND MY PROJECT...

NO, IT...

IT DOESN'T AFFECT MY DECISION.

YOU SURE?

BECAUSE IT'S NEVER
GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

OKAY...

DR. SHAPIRO...

HOW IS SHE?

SHE'S IN RECOVERY.

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

WELL, I'M AFRAID

I CAN'T SHARE THAT
INFORMATION WITH YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT? WHY NOT?

BECAUSE, TECHNICALLY,
YOU'RE NOT DANA'S FAMILY.

I'M HER PARTNER.

SHE TOLD YOU THAT.

UNFORTUNATELY, I'M
ONLY LEGALLY ALLOWED

TO RELEASE MEDICAL
INFORMATION TO FAMILY.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO
REACH DANA'S PARENTS?

SURE.

YEAH, YEAH.

NO, NO, WE'LL HAVE
DINNER, THEN WE'LL JUST...

WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

YEAH.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?

DO YOU WANT TO DRIVE,
YOU WANT ME TO DRIVE?

WHAT DO YOU LIKE?

YOU LIKE TO DRIVE, OF COURSE.

[PHONE BEEPS]

HEY, UTA, CAN YOU...
ONE SECOND, OKAY?

HOLD ON.

UTA, CAN YOU... CAN
I... CAN YOU HOLD ON?

I'LL CALL YOU RIGHT BACK.

OKAY.

H-HELLO?

LARA?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

ALICE, DANA IS... IS SICK.

SHE DIDN'T TELL YOU
GUYS THE WHOLE TRUTH.

I MEAN, WE KNEW THAT
SHE WAS COMING IN

TO HAVE A MASTECTOMY, BUT...

[♪♪]

MRS. FAIRBANKS...

DID ALICE CALL YOU GUYS?

I ASKED HER TO CALL YOU.

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO
GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.

DR. SHAPIRO, THESE
ARE DANA'S PARENTS.

THIS IS DR. SHAPIRO,
DANA'S SURGEON.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT'S SHE DOING HERE?

IF YOU JUST FOLLOW ME,

I CAN TAKE YOU IN TO SEE HER.

YOU CAN GO HOME NOW.

WE'LL TAKE OVER
FROM HERE, THANKS.

MOM, DAD...

HELLO, SWEETHEART.

MY DARLING BABY GIRL.

HOW LONG HAVE
YOU GUYS BEEN HERE?

JUST A LITTLE WHILE.

WE CAME AS SOON AS THEY CALLED.

WHERE'S LARA?

SHE WENT HOME.

SHE DID?

WHY DID SHE GO HOME?

DANA, WE ARE YOUR FAMILY, HONEY.

PLEASE, WHAT'S GOING ON?

DANA, IT WAS MUCH
MORE PROGRESSED

THAN WE ANTICIPATED.

THE CANCER HAS METASTASIZED
TO THE LYMPH NODES.

WE HAD TO REMOVE

A GREAT DEAL OF
MUSCLE AND TISSUE.

HI, UTA, UM, IT'S ALICE.

I, UM...

SOMETHING'S HAPPENED,

AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
CANCEL TONIGHT, BUT, UM...

I JUST... I CAN'T REALLY
TALK ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW,

BUT I'M REALLY SORRY.

OKAY.

I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.

I THOUGHT YOU PUT ME IN CHARGE.

UM, SORRY, TINA.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

YOU TOLD ME YOU
WOULD FOLLOW MY LEAD

AND LET ME RUN THE COMPANY.

I CAN'T HAVE YOU UNDERMINE
ME IN A MEETING LIKE THAT.

SORRY.

IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

OKAY.

THANKS.

TINA...

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

SURE.

HAVE YOU EVER...

FALLEN IN LOVE WITH
A STRAIGHT WOMAN?

OH, GOD...

HELENA, YOU'RE ASKING
THE WRONG PERSON.

I WAS STRAIGHT
UNTIL I MET BETTE.

WELL, THEN, TALK TO ME
AS A STRAIGHT WOMAN.

WHAT WENT THROUGH YOUR MIND

WHEN YOU FIRST
HAD THOSE FEELINGS?

IT WAS TERRIFYING.

I MEAN, THE FALLING IN
LOVE PART FEELS GOOD,

BUT THERE'S SO MUCH TO
WRAP YOUR HEAD AROUND.

BUT WHY?

I MEAN, ISN'T LOVE JUST LOVE?

NO, IT ISN'T.

IT'S NOT THE LIFE THAT
MOST STRAIGHT WOMEN WANT.

MOST OF US...

MOST STRAIGHT WOMEN...

THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME

PREPARING FOR THE HUSBAND,

THE KIDS, THE HOUSE...

IT'S TOO MUCH TO UNDO.

I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW.

HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO THERE,

AND THEN...

HELENA...

CAN I GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE?

PLEASE.

JUST LET IT GO.

IT ALMOST NEVER TURNS
OUT LIKE YOU WANT IT TO.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

OH, I'M SORRY.

UM, COULD I...
COULD I TALK TO YOU?

OF COURSE.

I SHOULD GO

IF I'M GOING TO MAKE
THAT SCREENING.

I REALLY SHOULD.

WHAT...

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

IRWIN, SHARON, HI.

ALICE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WELL, WE'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH DANA.

NO ONE'S TELLING US, AND...

THEY REMOVED HER BREAST,

AND FOUND IT'S ALREADY SPREAD.

OH, MY GOD.

YOU SHOULD BOTH GO HOME NOW.

THERE'S NOTHING
EITHER OF YOU CAN DO

RIGHT HERE.

WELL, I'M SURE...

I'M SURE DANA WOULD
WANT LARA TO BE IN THERE...

ALICE, DANA IS VERY SICK,

AND SHE NEEDS HER REST.

LISTEN...

I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE

WHAT YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH RIGHT NOW,

BUT LARA'S DANA'S PARTNER.

WE REALLY NEED TO RESPECT THAT.

SHE LOVES YOUR
DAUGHTER VERY MUCH.

DANA NEEDS HER
RIGHT NOW, I'M SORRY.

HEY...

HEY, YOU.

WHERE'D YOU GO?

I'M RIGHT HERE, BABY.

ALICE IS HERE, TOO.

SHE IS?

WHERE IS SHE?

I'M RIGHT HERE.

COME HERE.

DO YOU NEED ANY HELP?

NO, I'VE GOT IT, THANKS.

SO DID ANYTHING HAPPEN TODAY?

I HAD THIS RUN-IN WITH HELENA,

AND YOU'D BE PROUD OF ME.

I STOOD RIGHT UP TO HER.

I WASN'T REALLY
TALKING ABOUT THAT.

BETTE, DON'T GO THERE.

JOSH IS THIS PRODUCER I
WORK WITH ON A PROJECT.

I TALK TO HIM ONCE A WEEK,

AND WHEN I DO,

I TALK TO HIM ABOUT BUSINESS.

WELL, I JUST THOUGHT
MAYBE IT'S HORMONAL,

THIS THING THAT
YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.

I ONLY DATED MEN
BEFORE I MET YOU.

SO WHAT WAS I,

SOME EIGHT-AND-A-HALF-YEAR
ABERRATION?

HELLO?

HI...

HEY, CAN YOU GIVE
ME A HAND WITH THIS?

MM-HMM.

THANKS.

HEY, KIT.

HEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING...

OH, MY FUCKING GOD.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

OKAY, WHERE'S ANGELICA?

NAPPING.

OKAY, THIS IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE,

AND I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE

THAT I EVEN HAVE TO SAY THIS,

BUT OF ALL THE
MEN IN LOS ANGELES,

CUTE LITTLE BONY ASS OR NOT,

YOU HAVE TO GO AFTER

THE ONE GUY IN OUR
DAUGHTER'S LIFE?

SHE'S SOUND ASLEEP.

SHE DIDN'T GO AFTER ME,

I WENT AFTER HER.

I'VE BEEN FUCKING RELENTLESS.

I NEVER FELL THIS
HARD FOR A WOMAN

IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

WOW.

ALL RIGHT, WELL,

WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU BREAK UP?

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BREAK UP.

NO?

ANGUS, YOU DON'T
KNOW ABOUT THAT.

WE'RE... WE'RE JUST...

YOU'RE JUST WHAT?

DATING?

AND MAKING OUT

LIKE A COUPLE OF TEENAGERS,

WHICH I THINK IS GREAT.

IT'S GREAT, AS LONG AS
YOU STILL BABY-SIT, OKAY?

CONGRATULATIONS.

OH, GREAT.

OKAY, HUG, HUG,
THAT'S FANTASTIC.

BUT WE NEED SOME RULES.

RULES?

YEAH, LIKE, NO SEX
IN FRONT OF THE BABY.

OF COURSE NOT.

KIT?

NO SEX IN FRONT OF THE BABY.

NO SEX IN OUR BED.

UGH...

WILL YOU GO CHANGE
THE SHEETS, PLEASE?

[♪♪]

HELLO! HELLO!

HOW YOU DOING?

CONGRATULATIONS!

HEY.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

YOU ARE?

I'M FINALLY FUCKING HAVE MONEY!

YOU HAVE MONEY! OH, MY GOSH.

OH, FUCK, I'M SORRY.

I'M DRUNK, AND
WE'RE CELEBRATING,

SO PLEASE GET DRINKS.

OKAY, YES, UM, A
BEER, HONEY, YES.

MOIRA, THAT'S GOT
TO BE GREAT FOR YOU,

TO HAVE A GIRLFRIEND
WITH SOME MONEY, RIGHT?

YEAH, I'M REALLY PROUD OF HER.

I'LL BE MAKING MY
OWN MONEY SOON, SO...

OF COURSE. OF COURSE YOU WILL.

WHAT UP, EVERYBODY!

[CROWD CHEERS EXPLOSIVELY]

I GOT SOMETHING
SWEET FOR YOU TONIGHT.

ALL THE WAY FROM
PORTLAND, OREGON,

WHERE THEY PLAY VIDEO POKER,

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO FEEL BAD ABOUT IT,

BECAUSE ALL THE MONEY
GOES TO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

THESE SISTERS ARE
BAD TO THE BONE.

I WANT YOU TO GIVE IT
UP FOR SLEATER-KINNEY!
