PREVIOUSLY ON THE L WORD...

I'M AN EX-DRUNK?

YOU SHOULDN'T BE DRINKING, KIT.

YEAH, AND WHO DO I
HAVE TO THANK FOR THAT?

THANK YOU FOR LETTING
ME TAKE YOU DANCING

THE OTHER NIGHT.

YOU SHOW ME RESPECT, YOU KNOW?

WHY'D YOU COME HERE?

I'M GOING BACK TO
OREGON THIS AFTERNOON

AND I'M TAKING MY
SON HOME WITH ME.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT
HAVING A DINNER PARTY.



I REALLY WANT YOU

TO MEET SOME OF MY FRIENDS.

WOULD IT BE INTERESTING IF
THEY WERE REALLY HAVING SEX?

WHAT? WHAT?

SHE'S REALLY SENSITIVE
ABOUT THE MATERIAL.

SHE DOESN'T WANT
ANYBODY TO MESS IT UP.

I MEAN, YOU CAN DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT.

THAT'S WHAT LEZ GIRLS IS,

IS A MUSICAL.

AND YOU'RE SURE ABOUT THIS?

I'VE NEVER GOTTEN

A BETTER TIP.

IN THE PINK'S TRAINER TOLD MILES

THEY WERE HOLDING HER
BACK TO IMPROVE THE ODDS.

SO IT'S A SURE THING?

AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN GET.

IF YOU THINK POKER IS EXCITING,

THE HORSE RACES
WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.

YOU COULD DOUBLE THE MONEY

YOU MADE IN MALLORCA.

SO...

ARE YOU IN?

[EXHALING]

YES.

I'M IN.

EXCELLENT.

HERE,

I BOOKED US A PRIVATE ROOM

IN THE RESTAURANT,

BUT WE SHOULD SPEND
THE WHOLE DAY THERE.

SIT IN THE STANDS,

EXPERIENCE THE COLLECTIVE RUSH.

WHY DON'T YOU INVITE
SOME OF YOUR FRIENDS?

WE CAN DO SOME
BUSINESS ON THAT WEBSITE.

I'VE ALREADY TOLD
ALICE I'M IN FOR 50 GRAND.

OH, AND INVITE THE
LITTLE DARK, TWISTED ONE.

SHE AMUSES ME.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S TALKING
ABOUT GETTING A MONKEY.

OF COURSE SHE IS.

[♪♪]

YOU WERE KISSING A
MOUSE ON THE LIPS?

YEAH, I FOUND IT
UNDER THE HOUSE.

I LEANED IN TO KISS IT

AND THE LITTLE FUCKER BIT ME,

AND THE WHOLE WAY TO THE DOCTOR,

MY SISTER SIOBAN

KEPT TRYING TO
TELL ME I HAD RABIES.

THAT'S SO MEAN.

SHE WAS TORTURING YOU.

WE DEFINITELY
TORTURED EACH OTHER.

I USED TO KICK OPEN THE
DOOR TO THE BATHROOM

AND TAKE POLAROIDS OF HER

TO PASS AROUND AT SCHOOL.

I WOULD'VE TORTURED YOU, TOO.

[RAIN PATTERING]

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY
OF THEM IN YEARS.

[EXHALES]

MAYBE THIS WASN'T
THE BEST IDEA, GRACE.

THEY ARE YOUR FAMILY.

YEAH.

[♪♪]

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

[BETTE]: NO, IT'S NOT A CATERER,

IT'S JUST A COOK AND A SERVER,

THAT'S ALL.

I MEAN, I HAVEN'T
HAD A DINNER PARTY

IN A LONG TIME,

AND I WANT IT TO BE
NICE AND COMFORTABLE.

ACTUALLY, IT'S
NOT QUITE AS SMALL

AS I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT.

UH...

11 PEOPLE.

11 PEOPLE AT A DINNER PARTY

DOES NOT "A FORCE
OF NATURE" MAKE.

AND I'VE NEVER MET
ANYONE LIKE YOU.

OH, BUT THE ONE PROBLEM IS

I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK

FROM KIT.

YEAH.

I THINK SHE THINKS

I'M PROTECTING ANGUS.

NO, BETTE, PLEASE STAY.

FUCK YOU!

I FUCKING DID MY BEST!

YOU FUCKING FUCK!

GET OUT!

[INHALING DEEPLY]

[SIGHING SHAKILY]

REALLY JUST... TOO FAST FOR ME.

BUT IT SEEMS LIKE
IT WENT REALLY WELL.

[SIGHING]

I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU, MAX.

IT'S NOT THAT I DIDN'T
WANT YOU TO COME.

IT'S JUST THAT I KNEW

IT WOULD FREAK EVERYONE OUT.

YOU KNOW HOW DAD FEELS...

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT QUEERS.

THOSE ARE HIS WORDS, ACTUALLY.

WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP,

HE WAS ALWAYS RANTING ON AND ON

ABOUT WOPS,

QUEERS, NIGGERS, FAGGOTS...

I MEAN, YOU NAME IT,

AND HE HAD A WORD FOR IT.

SOUNDS CHARMING.

HE'S NOT A BAD GUY.

HE'S JUST... HE'S IGNORANT...

AND HE'S SHELTERED...

AND HE'S AFRAID OF ANYTHING

THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM HIM.

I DIDN'T COME HERE
FOR HIM, MAGGIE.

I CAME HERE FOR MOM.

SHE'S MY MOM, TOO.

THEN WHY DID YOU DISAPPEAR?

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HER ABOUT
WHAT YOU WERE GOING THROUGH?

I DIDN'T THINK SHE
COULD HANDLE IT.

IT WOULD'VE BEEN
TOO HARD FOR HER.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

YOU JUST ASSUME THAT
EVERYONE'LL HATE YOU.

I DON'T HATE YOU.

YOU'VE CALLED ME TWICE

SINCE I TOLD YOU I
WAS TRANSITIONING.

HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE YOU CALLED ME?

[DOOR OPENS]

DAD.

I COULDN'T GET

THE MAHOGANY ONE, MAGGIE.

I HAD TO GO

WITH THE PLAIN PINE CASKET.

BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WILL BE

EXACTLY THE WAY SHE WANTED IT,

THE REST OF THE FUNERAL...

I'D LIKE TO PAY FOR
THE MAHOGANY CASKET.

[CLEARING THROAT]

HI.

HI.

UM...

WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO SCHOOL,

AND JARED WAS TALKING
ABOUT MISSING SHAY,

AND HE SAID,

"IF I MISS SHAY THIS MUCH,

SHANE MUST REALLY MISS HIM."

SO WE DECIDED TO TAKE
AN IMPROMPTU HOLIDAY,

AND, UH...

HERE WE ARE.

HI, SHANE.

HEY, JARED.

GO ON, ASK HER.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M OKAY.

I'M SORRY FOR
DISAPPEARING ON YOU.

I'M KIND OF...

GLAD THAT YOU SHOWED
UP ON MY DOORSTEP.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS.

DO YOU MISS SHAY?

UH...

YEAH.

YEAH, I DO.

ME TOO.

MM-HMM.

IT'S... IT'S TOUGH.

WELL, WE WERE GOING
TO GO TO BREAKFAST

AND WERE WONDERING

IF YOU'D LIKE TO JOIN US.

NOW, IT'S A "JARED'S
CHOICE DAY",

SO HE GETS TO PICK WHAT WE EAT.

ICE CREAM.

OOH...

MM.

ALL RIGHT.

COME ON IN.

LET ME GET CHANGED.

I CAME TO PAY MY RESPECTS.

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?

YOU RUN OFF,

AND YOU SHOW UP
AFTER SHE'S DEAD,

LIKE THIS?

DAD, STOP.

YOU'RE FUCKING DISGUSTING.

SHUT UP, SIOBAN.

YOU SHAME ME.

YOU SHAME YOUR MOTHER'S MEMORY.

YOU AND YOUR FRIEND

NEED TO LEAVE NOW, MOIRA.

YEAH.

MOM TOLD ME ON HER DEATHBED

THAT SHE THOUGHT

YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN BORN A BOY.

BUT LOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE A FREAK NOW.

I'M GLAD SHE'S NOT ALIVE

TO ACTUALLY SEE IT.

[♪♪]

HOW'S THAT BREAKFAST
OF CHAMPIONS?

I'M GLAD YOU CAME OUT WITH US.

YEAH, ME TOO.

LISTEN,

I'M SORRY I NEVER
CALLED YOU BACK,

AND FOR THE WAY
I SNAPPED AT YOU.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.

I'VE MISSED YOU.

AND I'VE MISSED OUR, UM...

OUR...

STORY... TIME.

[CLEARING THROAT]:
THAT ONE STORY

IN THE CAR...

THAT WAS THE BEST STORY

I HAVE EVER HEARD.

WELL, I, UH...

YOU KNOW, I...

I THOUGHT OF SOME
NEW... STORIES...

IF YOU WANT ME
TO READ 'EM TO YOU.

OF COURSE.

WILL YOU LISTEN TO
SOME OF MINE, TOO?

YEAH.

YEAH, I'D LOVE TO.

LISTEN, UH,

BETTE'S HAVING THIS
DINNER PARTY ON SUNDAY.

WOULD YOU COME WITH ME?

OF COURSE.

I'LL, UM...

JUST HAVE TO GET A SITTER

FOR THIS ONE.

DO YOU GUYS HAVE
THE SAME FLAVOR?

WHAT... WHAT'D YOU GET?

IT'S GREEN APPLE.

THAT'S WHAT I GOT.

THE THING I REALLY CONNECTED TO

WAS THE FUCKING
INTENSITY OF THE ROMANCE.

LIKE WHEN JESSIE MEETS
KARINA FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME,

AND HOW OVERWHELMED SHE IS...

MM-HMM.

I SO REMEMBER THAT FEELING.

THAT MOMENT SHOULD JUST BE,
LIKE, VISUALLY REALLY INTENSE.

THE SOUND SHOULD
JUST, LIKE, FADE AWAY,

SO IT'S ONLY THEM IN THE WORLD.

IT'S JUST JESSIE AND KARINA.

KIND OF LIKE THAT FEELING

WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE AND
YOUR HEART BEGINS TO BEAT...

YOUR MOUTH GOES DRY...

AND THE BLOOD KIND OF RUSHES

FROM YOUR HANDS...

YES, IN FACT, WHAT YOU CAN DO

IS YOU CAN JUST
FADE THE COLOR AWAY,

JUST BLOW IT OUT.

IN LAST MOVIE THAT I DID,

I JUST SLOWLY
DRAINED THE COLOR...

[GASPING]: OH, MY GOD.

THAT SCENE,

IT WAS JUST SO VISUAL
AND SO SENSUAL...

YEAH.

WHEN I SAW IT AT
SUNDANCE, I WAS JUST...

GOD.

SHE WON THE AUDIENCE AWARD.

I SAW THE FILM, TINA.

IT WAS LIKE A BLUR.

I WAS SO NERVOUS.

WHO'S RELEASING PANDORA?

FOX 2000.

THAT'S FANTASTIC. YEAH.

I GOT REALLY LUCKY.

I GOT VERY LUCKY.

I MET A LOT OF NICE
PEOPLE UP THERE,

AND... AND, UH...

IT'S A STRUGGLE.

IT'S A STRUGGLE TO
TRY TO DO SOMETHING

THAT YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN...

AND TO STAY TRUE
RIGHT. TO YOUR VISION

WITH ALL THESE FUCKING
HOLLYWOOD SUITS

TO PIGEONHOLE YOU. TOTALLY.

PRESENT HOLLYWOOD
COMPANY EXCLUDED.

ALTHOUGH YOU WOULD LOOK

REALLY HOT IN A SUIT.

THANK YOU.

I WAS SO TURNED
ON BY YOUR STORY,

BECAUSE I JUST
THOUGHT, YOU KNOW...

"THIS IS ME.

"THIS IS, UH,

"PEOPLE I KNOW,

PEOPLE I'VE SLEPT WITH."

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT
ABOUT BULLSHIT.

I REALLY AM NOT THAT INTERESTED

IN MAKING PEOPLE FEEL
FUCKING COMFORTABLE.

YOU KNOW?

SO, I WANT TO MAKE
MOVIES THAT SAY SOMETHING.

I-I WOULD REALLY LOVE
TO DIRECT THE FILM.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK WE'VE FOUND
OUR DIRECTOR.

BETTE...

[TELEPHONE RINGING
IN BACKGROUND]

I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW,
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

SEATING IS VERY IMPORTANT
AT A DINNER PARTY.

IT IS.

IT'S JUST ALL A PART OF

MAKING IT FLOW
BETTER, THAT'S ALL.

I KNOW.

I KNOW, I KNOW. I AM!

I'M RELAXED.

I JUST WANT IT TO
BE PERFECT FOR YOU.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

NOT NOW, I'M BUSY.

[MAX]: I'M JUST SORRY
I DRAGGED YOU HERE.

[GRACE]: I'M NOT.

EVERYONE NEEDS A WITNESS

TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

THANKS FOR COMING, GRACE.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

YOUR MOTHER WANTED
YOU TO HAVE THAT.

HER CHARM BRACELET.

SHE LOVED THAT THING.

HER PRIDE AND JOY.

ANY TIME ANYONE WENT ANYWHERE,

THEY'D BRING MY MOM BACK
A CHARM FOR THIS THING.

SHE ALWAYS SAID THAT
SHE WAS COLLECTING

MEMORIES THAT SHE
MIGHT HAVE ONE DAY.

ALL THE PLACES SHE WANTED TO GO

AND I COULDN'T
AFFORD TO TAKE HER.

I GUESS IT'S YOURS NOW.

THANKS.

UM...

I'M JUST GOING TO STEP OUTSIDE.

[DOOR OPENS]

WHAT SIOBAN SAID TODAY...

[SIGHING]

WHENEVER YOUR MOTHER AND I

TALKED ABOUT YOU,

WE'D END UP FIGHTING,

AND SO, AFTER A WHILE,

WE JUST STOPPED
TALKING ABOUT YOU.

AND I...

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
SHE FELT THAT WAY.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT...

I WANT TO SAY GOODBYE TO MOM,

AND I'D LIKE TO STAY
FOR THE FUNERAL.

THERE'S A WAKE AT
THE HOUSE TOMORROW.

YOU AND YOUR FRIEND
CAN COME IF YOU WANT.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

I WANT YOU TO COME BY THE
HORSE RACES TOMORROW.

IT'S THE BEST RUSH.

I CAN'T BELIEVE

HOW THAT SHIT MAKES
ME FEEL, FOR REAL.

YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON
I'VE WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH.

JUST DON'T DROP TOO MUCH.

I KNOW HOW TO BET.

I PLAN TO MAKE A LOT OF
MONEY BEFORE I'M THROUGH.

[SIGHING]: WHAT?

I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW,

I'VE BEEN TALKING TO KOCH

ABOUT DISTRIBUTING BAREBACK.

THEY'RE INTERESTED.

WELL, YOU REALLY
DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

WELL, I'M DOING IT
BECAUSE I WANT TO.

I ALSO GOT A COUPLE
OF RADIO STATIONS

INTERESTED IN PICKING YOU UP.

THANKS.

THANK YOU.

WELL, I BELIEVE IN
THE RECORD, AND...

I BELIEVE IN YOU.

I JUST WANTED TO GET
YOU UP AND RUNNING.

I'VE BEEN UP AND RUNNING

SINCE YOU WERE BARE-ASSED,
STREAKING THROUGH A SPRINKLER.

MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR
YOU TO GIVE HIM A BREAK.

[SIGHS]

LET'S NOT GO THERE.

COME ON. HE MADE A MISTAKE, KIT.

FORGETTING TO SET
YOUR ALARM CLOCK

IS A MISTAKE.

PUTTING SUGAR IN A SALT SHAKER,

THAT'S A MISTAKE.

WHAT HE DID WAS MORE
THAN JUST A MISTAKE.

ARE YOU STILL IN LOVE WITH HIM?

NO.

[♪♪]

I'M GOING TO SEE YOU
ON MONDAY, OKAY?

MOMMY'S GOING TO
MISS YOU SO MUCH,

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN.

IT WAS, UH,

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, JODI.

NICE TO SEE YOU TOO.

OKAY, BABY.

[WHISPERING]

[LAUGHS]

IS THAT A DINNER PARTY LIST?

I REMEMBER THAT.

OH, SHE'S DONE IT BEFORE?

UH, YEAH.

UH, WELL, ACTUALLY, WE ARE...

WE'RE HAVING A DINNER PARTY

TOMORROW NIGHT,

AND WE WOULD LOVE IT

IF YOU AND HENRY COULD COME.

THANK YOU.

UM, ACTUALLY, I ALREADY
HAVE DINNER PLANS.

OH.

OH, WELL, TELL
HENRY MAYBE SOME...

OH, IT'S NOT WITH HENRY.

MY DATE IS WITH, UH, KATE ARDEN.

SHE'S THE DIRECTOR
OF JENNY'S MOVIE.

KATE?

KATE ARDEN, THE FILM DIRECTOR.

YEAH, I SAW HER
MOVIE IN NEW YORK.

PANDORA.

I LOVED IT.

IT'S GREAT, ISN'T IT?

SO YOU'RE GOING ON
A... LIKE A "DATE" DATE?

[SCOFFING]: OH. NO.

I WISH.

SHE'S FANTASTIC.

SHE'S TALENTED AND INTELLIGENT.

OH, WE'RE SO LUCKY TO GET HER.

YOU'D LOVE HER.

I COULD BRING HER.

TO THE DINNER PARTY...

IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT.

UH, YEAH, SURE.

YEAH, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

GREAT.

YEAH, WE'LL JUST
ADD HER TO THE LIST.

[STARTING BELL RINGS]

[ANNOUNCER]: AND THEY'RE OFF!

[CROWD ROARING]

OUT OF THE GATE,

WE HAVE VERMICELLO
AND ABSINTHE BLUES

FOLLOWED BY ITSY BITSY.

DIAMONDBACK AND MIDNIGHT STAR

AND ROWLEY'S REVENGE

ARE IN FOURTH, FIFTH,
AND SIXTH PLACE.

AND THAT'S ITSY
BITSY BY A LENGTH,

WITH ABSINTHE BLUES
PLACING SECOND

AND VERMICELLO FINISHING THIRD.

ALL RIGHT.

$20 TO WIN.

WHENEVER I'M IN A
PUBLIC PLACE LIKE THIS

WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE AROUND,

I ALWAYS HAVE THIS COMPULSION
TO TAKE OFF ALL MY CLOTHES.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

IS THERE, LIKE, A BOOBY PRIZE

FOR COMING IN LAST EVERY TIME?

ALICE,

YOU BET $2.

I MEAN, REALLY,
HOW BAD CAN IT BE?

I LIKE WINNING.

WE ALL LIKE WINNING.

AW, YOU'RE A WINNER, BABY.

YEAH, LOOK AT

THE HOTTIE YOU SCORED.

I KNOW.

WE'RE IN A PUBLIC PLACE, ALICE.

PDAs AREN'T COOL FOR ME.

I TOLD YOU THAT.

SORRY.

HORSE RACES MAKE ME HOT.

THIS AIN'T YOUR
GRANNY'S TACO, BUT...

OOH!

YEAH, THANK YOU.

HEY, YO, PAPI.

WHAT'S UP WITH THE REST OF US?

CATHERINE?

I DON'T DO CARBS.

I'LL HAVE SOME.

HELLO?

ONE FUCKING FRY YOU LEAVE ME?

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET. OKAY?

DON'T TALK TO ME.

ARE YOU GOING TO GO TO
BETTE'S TOMORROW NIGHT?

MM. MM-HMM.

I WANT TO GO BECAUSE
I WANT TO MEET JODI,

AND SO I'M GOING TO

FORGIVE MY SISTER HER SORRY ASS

FOR PROTECTING ANGUS.

JODI LOOKS COOL.

I GOOGLED HER LAST NIGHT. MM?

YEAH, YEAH, A BIG
ARTIST. SHE'S HOT.

I WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO
BE WITH SOMEONE THAT'S DEAF.

PROBABLY REALLY
INTENSE, YOU KNOW?

ONCE ONE SENSE IS GONE,

LIKE, THE OTHERS PUMP
UP PROBABLY, RIGHT?

BUT BETTE SAID
SHE CAN READ LIPS.

IS BETTE LEARNING HOW TO SIGN?

OH, I'M SURE SHE'S ALL OVER IT.

[ALICE]: I THINK SHE
REALLY LIKES HER,

BECAUSE WHEN SHE
TALKS ABOUT HER,

SHE KIND OF GLOWS.

[ANNOUNCER]: 15 MINUTES...

OKAY, LADIES.

THAT'S OUR RACE.
LET'S PLACE OUR BETS.

EXCUSE ME.

I JUST REPLACED

THE CARBURETOR
AND THE CRANKSHAFT,

BUT I HAVEN'T WORKED ON IT

SINCE YOUR MOTHER GOT SICK.

WE THOUGHT WE HAD IT LICKED.

IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU.

DID SHE SUFFER?

NOT TOO BAD.

SHE WENT PRETTY
FAST WHEN IT CAME BACK,

AND I HAD HER AT HOME, SO...

SHE DID GET...

WELL, THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS,

SHE WAS PRETTY OUT OF IT.

I HAD TO KEEP HER IN DIAPERS.

JESUS.

JESUS, DAD. I'M SORRY.

[TOOL RATTLING]

I DIDN'T MIND.

I WAS GLAD TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.

I MEAN, GOD KNOWS

SHE LOOKED AFTER ME FOR YEARS,

AND I NEVER THANKED HER.

LET'S TAKE HER FOR A RIDE, SON.

SHE GOES PRETTY DAMN FAST.

[MAGGIE]: DAD?

FATHER O'SHEA'S HERE.

DO YOU WANT TO SAY HELLO?

[♪♪]

100,000 ON IN THE PINK.

TO WIN.

[♪♪]

[COUNTER WHIRRING]

THAT'S 100,000 ON
IN THE PINK TO WIN.

I'LL HAVE A $10 TRIFECTA...
BOX TWO, THREE, SIX.

THAT'S $60. THERE YOU GO...

DAVE

YOU REALLY KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

WELL, I USED TO COME TO
THE TRACK BACK IN THE DAY.

KIT... KIT, KIT.

DID YOU SEE

HOW MUCH MONEY CATHERINE PULLED

OUT OF THAT BRIEFCASE?

YEAH, BUT HELENA SAID
IT WAS A SURE THING.

THERE'S NO SUCH
THING AS A SURE THING.

DAMN STRAIGHT.

MA'AM?

PRIVATE BROWN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY
THE SAME THING TO YOU.

YOU'RE THE LAST
PERSON I EXPECTED TO SEE

AT THE RACES.

SHE'S NEVER BEEN
TO A RACE BEFORE.

HI. I'M ALICE.

I'M JUST HERE WITH SOME FRIENDS.

WILL YOU LADIES BE JOINING US

IN THE SKY BOX?

NO, I THINK WE MIGHT
STAY DOWN HERE

AND HANG OUT WITH THE PEOPLE.

[PAPI]: YEAH, I'M WITH KIT.

I WANT TO SMELL MY HORSE WIN.

OUR RACE IS PROBABLY STARTING,

SO WE SHOULD GET GOING.

YEAH, I'VE GOT TO GRAB
MY WIFE A HOT DOG.

RELISH AND ONIONS.

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS
WITH PREGNANT WOMEN.

YEAH. WOMEN.

[LAUGHS]

MA'AM.

[SIGHS]: SHIT.

WHAT?

HE'S NOT COOL.

HE WAS TOTALLY RESPECTFUL.

NO, HE'S A BORN-AGAIN HOMOPHOBE

WHO THINKS HE
SHOULD HAVE MY JOB.

OH, PLEASE, HE
DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

WE WEREN'T EVEN TOUCHING.

COME ON, DON'T
EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

LET'S GO WATCH THE RACE, OKAY?

I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, BON.

WE'RE ALL GOING TO MISS FIONA.

THANKS, CONNIE.

YOU KNOW FATHER, UM...

O'SHEA. YES.

AND THIS IS MAX.

FIONA'S COUSIN'S
SON FROM CALIFORNIA.

MAX?

HI, CONNIE.

HI.

[O'SHEA]: ARE
SIOBAN AND THE BOYS

COMING BY LATER, BON?

THE FUNERAL TOMORROW.

AND ANY WORD YET

FROM YOUR OTHER DAUGHTER?

MOIRA?

[♪♪]

SHIT!

SHE'S RUNNING COLD.

SHE'S GOING TO WIN.

[ANNOUNCER]: ROCK
HARD TEN IS PRESSING HIM

FROM THE INSIDE.

EDMUND STEER IS WORKING HARD

TO STAY WITHIN TWO
LENGTHS OF THE LEAD.

OF THE LEAD.

IN THE PINK COMMENCES A RALLY.

SHE'S SIX LENGTHS
FROM THE FRONT.

TOO MUCH FUN HAS NOTHING LEFT.

FARTHER BACK IS ROYAL BEAN.

HERE SHE COMES.

THEY'RE COMING

TO THE TOP OF THE STRETCH.

EDMUND STEER

IS UP A FOUR-LENGTH LEAD.

IN THE PINK IS MOVING TO
BE SECOND ON THE OUTSIDE.

ROCK HARD TEN IS MOVING BACK

TO BE THIRD. SHE'S GOING TO WIN!

THE WHIP IS OUT ON EDMUND STEER!

[CROWD CHEERING]

JUST ONE FURLONG AWAY.

THEY'RE COMING

[CROWD CHEERING]

FUCKING FUCK. FUCK ME.

I JUST WON.

[ALICE]: YOU BET
ON EDMUND STEER?

YEAH. WHAT?

YEAH, I LIKED THE NAME.

YOU SAT THERE STONE-FACED,

NO EMOTION, AND YOU WON.

HEY.

GUYS, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

I'M GOING TO COLLECT MY $300.

LET'S GO.

BUT YOU DIDN'T EVEN CARE.

I'M GOING TO GO GET THE MONEY.

BUT YOU DIDN'T EVEN CARE.

THAT WAS EXCITING, RIGHT?

ACTUALLY, HELENA
LOST A LOT OF MONEY.

I'M SORRY. IT...

WHY ARE YOU SORRY?

WHAT ARE YOU SORRY ABOUT?

WELL, YOU SAW IT, ALICE.

IN THE PINK LOST THE RACE,

AND YOU LOST YOUR INVESTMENT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A SURE THING.

[SIGHS]

IT'S A MOMENTARY SETBACK.

WE'RE GOING TO BE FINE.

I THOUGHT YOU CAME
TO GO TO THE FUNERAL.

I CAME TO PAY MY LAST
RESPECTS TO MOM...

AND WHEN I SAW HOW
CONNIE REACTED, I...

I REALIZED THAT TOMORROW
SHOULD BE ABOUT MOM,

NOT ABOUT ME.

I DON'T WANT TO BE THE THING
THAT PEOPLE ARE THINKING ABOUT

AT HER FUNERAL.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

I CAN'T JUST COME OUT AND
TELL EVERYONE WHO YOU ARE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO, DAD.

I KNOW WHO I AM.

I'M MAX SWEENEY,

WHO USED TO BE MOIRA...

BON AND FIONA'S DAUGHTER.

OKAY, HOW'S THIS?

WHAT?

[LAUGHS]

I JUST... I WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT YOU CAN SEE
EVERYBODY'S MOUTH

FROM WHERE YOU'RE SITTING.

BETTE. WHAT?

I'M GOING TO MISS THINGS.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN I'M AROUND HEARING PEOPLE.

THEY ALL KNOW I'M DEAF, RIGHT?

YEAH. OKAY.

WHAT, SHOULD I
HAVE NOT TOLD THEM?

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

I AM DEAF.

IT'S OKAY TO TELL PEOPLE.

OF COURSE. IT'S A REALITY.

RIGHT. RIGHT.

OKAY. SO CAN WE
HANG THE LIGHTS NOW?

I'M GOING TO JUST...
FROM THE TREE.

I WANT YOU TO MEET MY
FRIENDS IN NEW YORK SOMETIME.

WE'LL DO A DINNER PARTY,

AND I'LL COOK.

I WANT TO BE A MUCH
MORE FLUENT SIGNER

BEFORE I MEET YOUR FRIENDS.

THEY'RE NOT ALL DEAF.

I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN...

I KNOW, I KNOW, I
KNOW, I KNOW. IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY. THE LIGHTS.

CAN WE DO IT TOMORROW?

WE DON'T HAVE TIME.

OKAY, WE HAVE TO GET
THE CATERERS GOING,

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE

THAT THE BAR IS STOCKED.

STOCKED.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THE BAR IS STOCKED...

AND I STILL DON'T
HAVE PLACE SETTINGS.

ACTUALLY, I WAS
THINKING THAT I MIGHT DO

JUST LITTLE PLACE CARDS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

PLACE CARDS?

YEAH. JUST SUBTLE, SMALL.

YEAH.

[CHUCKLING]

WHAT?

[LAUGHING]: OH, MY GOD.

[SIGHING]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

COME HERE.

MM.

WHAT?

YOU JUST SAID THAT YOU LOVE ME.

[PAPER RUSTLES]

YOU KNOW, THERE'S JUST SO MUCH,

AND THERE'S REALLY
NO TIME AT ALL.

[LAUGHING]: THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

OH, NO.

[PAPER CRUMPLES]

COME GET IT.

I HAVE COPIES.

[LAUGHING]

[FATHER O'SHEA]: IN
SURE AND CERTAIN HOPE

OF THE RESURRECTION
TO ETERNAL LIFE

THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,

WE COMMEND TO ALMIGHTY
GOD FIONA BRIDGET SWEENEY,

AND WE COMMIT HER
BODY TO THE GROUND...

EARTH TO EARTH,

ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST.

THE LORD BLESS AND KEEP HER,

THE LORD MAKE HIS FACE

TO SHINE UPON HER

AND BE GRACIOUS UNTO
HER AND GIVE HER PEACE.

[♪♪]

DO YOU WANT RED OR WHITE?

SPARKLING WATER.

THEY BET, LIKE, A HUNDRED GRAND

AND LOST IT IN,
LIKE, THREE MINUTES.

IT WAS SO INSANE.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S INSANE

IS THEY'RE GAMBLING
AGAIN TONIGHT,

AND HELENA'S NOT
HERE WITH HER FRIENDS.

WELL, THEY OBVIOUSLY
GET OFF ON IT.

I MEAN, WHAT THOSE TWO

WERE DOING UP IN THE SKY BOX...

WHAT WERE THEY DOING

IN THAT SKY BOX?

KIT, THEY WERE FUCKING.

THEY WERE.

THEY'RE, LIKE, TWISTED TOGETHER.

BY THE WAY, WHERE WERE YOU GUYS?

FOR THE...

UM...

WHAT WERE WE DOING?

YOU KNOW, WE WERE JUST, UH...

WE WERE, UM... AHEM...

READING... READING STORIES.

OH. STORIES.

ALL DAY?

YEAH, IT WAS KIND OF

A WHOLE BOX SET OF...
OF... OF STORIES, RIGHT?

THAT'S SO SWEET,

YOU READING STORIES
TO PAIGE'S SON.

[ALICE]: REALLY SWEET, YOU GUYS.

SHE'S VERY SWEET.

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

[LAUGHING]

HI. HI!

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

OH, THANKS.

THIS IS KATE ARDEN. HI.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
THE FAMOUS BETTE.

I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU.

THIS IS FOR YOU.

WE USUALLY JUST TAKE
THE TOP OFF IN BROOKLYN

AND THROW IT AWAY

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PARTY.

[BETTE]: OH, GREAT.

TEQUILA... MAYBE
WE'LL GET TO THAT

SOMETIME LATER IN THE EVENING.

OH. WELL, SURE.

WELCOME.

[JENNY]: HI.

HI, JENNY.

KATE, I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT YOU WERE COMING.

HERE I AM.

HELLO, TINA.

[TINA]: HI, JENNY.

[JENNY]: LET ME INTRODUCE YOU

TO THE LOVELY JODI LERNER.

HI.

IT'S VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.

I LOVE YOUR MOVIE.

OH, REALLY?

OH, WOW, THAT'S GREAT.

AND I LOVE YOUR WORK.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

DO YOU SIGN?

NO, I DON'T.

THAT'S ALL I KNOW HOW TO SAY.

THAT, AND...

"WHERE ARE THE PORTA-JANES?"

[LAUGHING]

[QUIETLY]: HAVE
YOU SEEN HER FILM?

UH-UH.

IT'S SO PRETENTIOUS.

MY FIRST SHORT FILM SHOWED

AT THE MICHIGAN
WOMYN'S MUSIC FESTIVAL.

HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?

NO.

YOU SHOULD GO THERE.

YOU WOULD LOVE IT.

THEY INTERPRET EVERYTHING

FOR THE DEAF.

YEAH, EVERY SONG,

EVERY PERFORMANCE,
EVEN THE STAND-UP.

THE, UM... THE HAND THING?

LIKE, LOOK AT YOUR HANDS.

AND...

NOW, IF YOU'RE A DYKE,

YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO LOOK AT YOUR NAILS

LIKE THIS,

AND IF YOU'RE
STRAIGHT... FOOLPROOF.

OH, THAT'S... WOW.

I FEEL SO...

[LAUGHING]

OF COURSE. [JENNY]: I HAVE ONE.

HERE'S MY THEORY.

GAY GIRLS WANT
MONKEYS AS CHILDREN,

AND STRAIGHT GIRLS

WANT HORSES.

WHAT? PLEASE.

MAKE THAT UP? NO, I GOT IT...

HORSES?

YES, THE PETS.

THEY WANT, LIKE,
THE FANTASY PET.

I MEAN, I WANTED A
MONKEY, BUT IT'S BECAUSE

I SAW THAT MOVIE WITH
SIGOURNEY WEAVER...

GORILLAS IN THE MIST.

RIGHT. THE APE ONE.

I'M GOING TO GO HELP IN THERE.

NO, NO, NO, NO. YOU STAY.

NO, STAY.

MY FRIENDS ARE HERE FOR YOU.

STAY.

[OTHERS LAUGHING AND TALKING]

WHAT DID YOU WANT?

OH, I THINK I GOT
TO SAY A MONKEY.

HORSE. I WANTED A HORSE.

WHAT CAN I SAY?

SEE?

[SHANE]: I THINK YOUR
THEORY'S BULLSHIT.

I DON'T KNOW IF PAIGE IS GAY.

[ALL GASPING]

OH, DRAMA!

DRAMA!

[SHANE]: WELL, I HOPE SHE IS.

[LAUGHTER]

WHAT ABOUT YOU, JODI?

JODI?

WHAT DID YOU WANT?

I'M SORRY?

OH, UM...

SHE ASKED

IF, WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL,

DID YOU WANT A
MONKEY OR A HORSE?

JENNY HAS THIS
FANTASTIC THEORY...

GIRLS THAT GROW UP
WANTING HORSES ARE STRAIGHT,

AND GIRLS THAT GROW UP

WANTING MONKEYS AS PETS

ARE GAY.

[LAUGHING]

I DIDN'T WANT EITHER.

I WANTED TO DRIVE RACE CARS.

AH...

NOW, THAT'S A BONA
FIDE DYKE FOR YOU.

BEAT YOUR THEORY
OUT OF THE WATER.

MY GIRLFRIENDS,

WE USED TO GO TO
THE STOCK CAR RACES.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO
MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THAT.

WE SHOULD DO THAT...
A GIRL'S CONTEMPORARY

COMING-OF-AGE STORY.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE

A MOVIE ABOUT THAT.

THAT WOULD BE A GOOD MOVIE,

BECAUSE YOU ONLY
SEE, LIKE, GUYS'...

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...

SEXUALITY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

YOU NEVER GET TO SEE

ANYTHING ABOUT GIRLS' SEXUALITY.

YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, THE MOVIE...

WELL, THIS MOVIE I DID, I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW IT...

BUT THAT SCENE WHERE

EMMA FINGER-FUCKS JUSTINE

UNDER THE DESK...

OH, MY GOD.

THE AUDIENCE LOVED THAT.

THEY JUST WENT NUTS FOR IT.

YEAH?

IT WAS SUCH A... WOW.

DID YOU LIKE THAT SCENE?

TINA DOESN'T REALLY LIKE

SEX SCENES IN MOVIES.

I DON'T?

WELL, YOU JUST TOLD
ME THAT YOU DIDN'T.

MADE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE?

YOU DON'T REMEMBER?

I ACTUALLY LIKE

THE SEX SCENE IN YOUR FILM.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO, YOU GUYS USED
TO BE LOVERS, RIGHT?

A LONG TIME AGO.

OKAY.

ALL THE WAY FROM NEW YORK...

THAT IS A VERY LONG
LESBIAN PHONE TREE CORD.

ACTUALLY, I DIDN'T HEAR IT

ON THE GRAPEVINE.

I GOOGLED TINA.

REALLY?

WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT HER?

I FOUND OUT THAT
SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE

FOR SOME OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES,

AND THAT MADE ME
WANT TO WORK WITH HER.

AND HER PICTURE WAS HOT.

[TINA]: WHAT?

WHAT PICTURE?

SOME PREMIERE,

AND YOU HAD A
TURQUOISE DRESS ON.

[TINA]: OH, MY GOD,
I REMEMBER THAT.

THAT'S A TERRIBLE PICTURE...

[CLINKING GLASS]

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A TOAST.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A TOAST.

I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE ALL
OF YOU HERE IN MY HOME

TO MEET SOMEONE

WHO IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME.

TO JODI.

[ALL AGREEING]

CHEERS.

IT'S NICE TO FINALLY

MEET YOU, JODI.

TO MEETING ALL OF YOU.

[SHANE]: YEAH, IT'S ABOUT TIME.

I HAD TO MAKE SURE
SHE WAS GOING TO STICK.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT'S UP?

KIT, WHAT THE FUCK
ARE YOU DOING?

UM...

MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

BETTE, DON'T.

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, OKAY?

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. MY
SISTER SHOULDN'T BE DRINKING.

I KNOW.

HAS SHE BEEN DRINKING ALL NIGHT?

YEAH, A LITTLE. WHY?

BECAUSE MY SISTER'S A
FUCKING ALCOHOLIC, THAT'S WHY.

PAPI DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW, BETTE,

YOU KNOW, IT'S
REALLY NOT YOUR PLACE

TO TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD
DO AND WHAT I SHOULDN'T DO.

UNDERSTAND?

MATTER OF FACT, A DOUBLE.

MMM!

HEY, JODI.

IT WAS REALLY NICE TO MEET YOU.

YOU ALL RIGHT, GIRL.

COME ON, PAPI.

TAKE ME ON HOME.

WE'RE GOING TO
ROLL ON OUT OF HERE.

FUCKING KIT.

THAT WAS HARD.

YEAH, IT WAS HARD
BECAUSE OF MY SISTER.

NO, BECAUSE OF YOU

INTERPRETING FOR ME...

WHEN I ASKED YOU NOT TO.

SO, PLEASE, DON'T DO IT AGAIN.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

BETTE, IF I WANTED AN
INTERPRETER AT THE PARTY,

I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT TOM.

YOU KNOW THAT.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP YOU.

I WANTED YOU TO FEEL
MORE COMFORTABLE.

WERE YOU?

OR WERE YOU TRYING
TO CONTROL EVERYTHING

AND INTERPRET

WHAT YOU WANTED ME
TO HEAR AND TO KNOW?

THAT IS COMPLETE
AND UTTER BULLSHIT.

NOT TO MENTION
FUCKING INSULTING.

YOU'RE INSULTED?

WHAT ABOUT ME?

THE WHOLE EVENING WAS FOR YOU.

I MEAN, I THREW A
DINNER PARTY FOR YOU.

I BENT OVER BACKWARDS

TO MAKE SURE IT WENT
SMOOTHLY FOR YOU.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT.

I CAN'T HANDLE WHAT?

THAT COMMUNICATION
IS DIFFERENT WITH ME.

THAT IT ISN'T EXACTLY
HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE.

WELL, NO, IT'S NOT EXACTLY
HOW I WANT IT TO BE.

I FEEL FUCKING
INCOMPETENT AT EVERY TURN,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK THAT I HAVE
WORKED VERY HARD

TO LEARN TO
COMMUNICATE WITH YOU,

AND I THINK THAT
WE DO PRETTY WELL.

I JUST... I DIDN'T
WANT IT TO BE HARD

WITH MY FRIENDS TONIGHT.

OH, I'M SO SORRY IT
WAS HARD FOR YOU.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I SAID...

HUH?

I WANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP

WITH SOMEONE WHO WORKS WITH ME.

[SIGHING]

BETTE...

YOU WANT TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP

WITH SOMEONE WHO WORKS FOR YOU.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?

I SAW YOU TONIGHT.

YOU TRY TO CONTROL EVERYTHING.

[SIGHING]

I MEAN, YOU WANTED TO...
YOU TRIED TO CONTROL TINA.

YOU TRIED TO CONTROL

WHAT SHE SAID TO THE DIRECTOR.

YOU TRIED TO CONTROL KIT.

AND YOU WANT TO
BE MY INTERPRETER

AND CONTROL HOW
I TALK TO EVERYONE.

FUCK YOU.

FUCK YOU!

I WAS JUST TRYING TO
DO WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU.

HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT'S BEST FOR ME?

YOU DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS GOING ON

HALF OF THE TIME.

YOU WEREN'T THERE.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN
TRY TO BE ENGAGED.

OH, REALLY?

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW?

ARE YOU HAVING MY EXPERIENCE?

ARE YOU FUCKING DEAF?

OH... JESUS.

I HAD NO IDEA YOU FELT
SO FUCKING PERSECUTED.

IT MAKES ME FEEL
REALLY SAD FOR YOU.

I THINK, THOUGH, FOR ONE MINUTE,

YOU SHOULD JUST ASK YOURSELF,
WHAT AM I EXPERIENCING?

WHAT IS MY FUCKING EXPERIENCE?

♪ I FEEL IN THE AIR ♪

YEAH.
