The L Word (2004–2009): Season 6, Episode 4 - Leaving Los Angeles - full transcript

- "Who Made the Man"
by The Staples Singers -

There is no escaping then.

Oh god! Well, at least
we won't have to put up with

squall grunts
and monkey squeals.

I hope
they're still on each other.

Like white on rice.

What?

Uh, you just gossiped.

That was an observation.
Jeez!

You don't have to get defensive.
We're

developping similar interests.



- Gossip.
- How?

Hi, how are you guys?

How is the
beautiful mother-to-be?

What was that for?

He doesn't like being referred
to his mother.

Why? You should be proud
that you're a mother.

I'm not a mother, okay, Jenny?

Can you get that?

Okay.

- Jenny, stop it.
- Stop what?

What she did?

I was doing absolutely nothing.

I'm simply saying
that you look beautiful.

You have these,
these breasts now.



You know, you have hips
and you're curvaceous,

and you're becoming womenly now.

I'm not trying to be

insulting. I'm just saying
you should be proud

to be a mother,
a beautiful mother.

You know?

The fact of the matter is

most women look terrible
when they are pregnant.

Why is she so sensitive?

Really unbelievable.

Hey, are you crying?

I hate her!

I hate these fucking hormones!
I hate these hormones!

I hate these tits
and I hate these

fucking hips and
I hate Jenny Schecter!

{\a6}Well at least,
someone talked about it.

{\a6}I know we were all
kinda just ignoring it.

I can't believe
they're gonna have that baby.

Well,

it was too late not to.

{\a6}Poor Max.

{\a6}Why though?

{\a6}About a couple months
from now,

{\a6}all people are gonna see
is two gay dads.

{\a6}And they get to have
the baby together.

{\a6}I think he kind gets
to have it all.

- When is she due?
- He.

I thought you guys
were going to Vegas.

{\a6}Loveland Nevada.
Tomorrow morning.

{\a6}What's in Loveland Nevada?

I know who stole the negative.

You know
who stole the negative

- of "Lez Girls"?
- What are you talking about?

Oh my god,
I just had the epiphany.

It was William
that stole the negative.

That doesn't make any sense.
Why would William,

{\a6}who produced the movie,
steal the negative?

{\a6}Okay? He's already
like 90 million dollars.

{\a6}Because I overheard him
having this conversation,

{\a6}and he was talking about

{\a6}burning down
one of his buildings

for insurance reasons.

It was so shady!

So you're saying he faked
the whole thing

- just to make an insurance claim?
- Yes.

Well, I know
he was nervous, but,

{\a6}that's extreme.

{\a6}Well yes.

{\a6}There's Kelly.

Well, if what you say is true,
then you should

proceed carefully.

See you.

It's true.

Tina, what's in Loveland Nevada?

A potential birthmother.

We had this amazing conversation
with her on the phone.

She knows that
you're a bunch of gays?

Yep, she knows all about us.

- Fantastic.
- This is you gay girl hang out?

Very queen, Bette.

Everyone, this is Kelly.

- Hi.
- Kelly, this is everyone.

- Hi. Nice to meet you, guys.
- And you remember Tina?

- Of course.
- Hi, Kelly.

{\a6}- "Brown Bag"
by Boogaloo Joe Jones -

{\a6}- Who is that?
- Kelly Wentworth.

She was getting
her undergrad at Yale when

Bette was getting her M.F.A.

Anyway, our birthmother?

She lives in Loveland and

{\a6}she seems pretty cool.

She's completely okay
with us being lesbian

and the father of her baby
is african american.

- That's nice.
- It's great.

Angela'll love that.

- Yeah.
- Right?

- You're doing so well on that.
- Oh, shut up!

- What do you mean?
- Well, she's gossiped,

it's fantastic.

She's in the conversation.

Come on!

Tina,
why is Kelly Freemont here?

But you said it was
Kelly some else?

Wentworth was a married name,
but Freemont

was her name
when she was in college.

And she was a vixen.

Did they...?

No, no, no, no, nothing.

- Not even first base.
- Excuse me.

My sister almost killed herself
over that B.I.T.C.H.

What?

Oh my god!

What the

fuck?!

What... what is going on
here tonight?!

- What? Is she a stalker now?
- Yeah.

She is so insane if she thinks
she's gonna get near Helena.

She is insane.

She has a meeting with you.

No, I actually have a meeting
with the filmmaker.

Maker...

Oh my god!

She set me up!

That is so sly...

Banquet room C.

What are you doing?

This thing is so tight.

It's so uncomfortable.

Can't you go to the bathroom?
People are looking.

Conditioning the tissues

around the vaginal opening
prepares

the perineum to perform.
So dads,

make sure you scrub your hands
and keep your thumbnail trimmed.

Propping her against the pillow,

spread her legs apart.

Go on,
try the position right now.

Good. Okay.

You need to come around
here, in front of her.

Just right down in front.
Good.

- How you're doing?
- Great.

Good.

Your turn.

Come on in front.

Don't be shy.

In front of her.

And spread her legs apart.

Sorry,

spread the legs

wide? Yeah, wider.

Good.

Good.

So,

you can use
pure vegetable oil

or a water-soluble lubricant
like K.Y. Jelly.

Not a petroleum based oil.

Insert your thumb,

or thumbs or finger,
which ever you prefer,

as deeply as you can
inside her vagina.

And, while you massage,

hook your thumb on to
the size of the vaginal canal

and gently

pull the tissues
down and forward.

Just like this.

Some of you might
already know how much pleasure

this can give her.

Dick collected, but
it was just as an investment.

Why have you and Dick
had wide a collection?

It's my collection now.

- "Johnny Hammond Boogaloo"
by Johnny Hammond -

Do you know this artist?
Liz Craft?

Sure.
I put her on a show when

I was at C.A.C. Provocations.

It was her first museum show.

It's amazing to me

that you've always had
this passion,

and you've just stayed
true to it.

It's something that I've always
dreamed being a part of.

God! Having a shit
lot of money certainly helps.

So why an art gallery?

You know I've always loved
contemporary art.

I mean, going back to Yale,
when you

TA'ed for Scully's class?

Then you gave me that, Bette.
You did.

It was a gift.

Well that's nice of you to say.

What do you want?

I'm not gonna lie to you, Tina.

Oh, it's too late.
You already did.

If my agent had given you
my real name,

you never would have seen me.

I'm not here looking for a job.

Well, that's a good thing

'cause the last project
really didn't end so well.

Look,

I'm really sorry for what I did.

You believed
in me as a director, you,

you gave me a chance and
I completely betrayed your trust.

I'm so sorry for that.

But,

I'm here because
I have nothing to lose.

Helena is the love of my life

and I would give anything

for another chance
to be with her.

And you want me to help you.

No, I can't.

I'm sorry, Dylan.
I can't.

- "6:30 Blues"
by Boogaloo Joe Jones -

Can you introduce me to artists
that you think are exciting?

Because I really want people
to pay attention

to what I'm creating here.

I don't think
that you have trouble

getting people to
pay attention to you, Kelly.

Then point me to who
I should pay attention to.

I wanna know what you know.

It's taken me 20 years to know
what I know.

I mean, you've been at this
what, nine months?

That's why I need your help.

It's just simply not possible.

But I'll tell you what.

If you're really serious
about this thing,

I mean if you

really wanna be a player
and

you really wanna be taken

seriously in the art world,

then the best way
I could think of to help you,

to make your gallery
a contender is if

I would come and work with you.

What about CU?

I resigned.

Wait a second.
That's big news.

Why?

I love the art world,
like you said and

I think I just

missed being
in the trenches.

And so you wanna come
work for me?

What?

Oh, not in your wildest dreams.

I mean, if you think that,

just because you won
50 million dollars

- in some divorce.
- 89!

- 89 million. Whatever.
- Please don't forget that.

If you think that in any way

remotely qualifies you
to be my boss

we could just
air-kiss good-bye right now.

What I'm offering you

is to be your partner.

And she said that you were
the love of her life.

Love of her life?
Are you fucking kidding me?!

What can we offer you
in the way of protection?

Nothing. I'm fine.

Look, I appreciate your concern.

All of you.

- Well, go on, then.
- Are you sure?

- Yes!
- Alright, alright.

She's been living in
San Fransisco,

she move back to L.A.
because

her dramatic short
got accepted into Outfest.

Oh that's rich, so

she's a gay filmmaker now?

Here's her card.

"Do Ask, Do Tell Productions"

- Oh, please.
- It's like she's a buzzard and

she's waiting to sweep down
and eat what's left of your carcass.

Lovely image, Alice.
Thank you.

Guys, we have to figure out
someone who we can set her up with.

- There's anyone.
- No, no, no,

I don't wanna be fixed up
with anybody.

- Shh, we're trying to think. Just...
- Jodi!

- What is this? Recycling?
- What?

Plastic/paper lesbians?
Someone new, someone fresh.

What about Jamie?

- Oh my god, you're brilliant!
- Right?

You're...
My girlfriend is brilliant.

Of course she's brilliant.

But guys, come on, come on.

- You guys!
- Okay.

This girl is so...
We recenty met her.

She's rad, she is...
We went bowling with her.

- Her name is Jamie Chen.
- Yeah, she's the director

of Youth and Family Services
at the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center.

And she is

- beautiful.
- Yeah.

And she is very very dedicated.

- Which is a great thing.
- Yeah. And she's single.

Which I mean is very rare.

So, I see nothing wrong.

I think we should...

I think... I'm calling.
I'm gonna do this thing.

Yeah, hey, no, wait.
Let me call her.

No, I'll call. I'll get it.

Suddenly I don't a say in,
no matter what?

It's such a good idea.

Hey, Jamie? It's Alice.

I know.
We...

When I dropped the ball,
I know.

Listen, I'm at The Planet
with Tasha, and

we were just talking about

this little idea
when it ran by you.

Yeah. No, she's here.

Yeah. Tash?
She wants to say something.

Hello?

What? What?

No, I'll totally help you.
I will.

Yeah, for sure. Okay.

Alright. No, I'm gonna
hold you back to Al...

I'm gonna give you back
to Alice. Okay. Bye.

She just bought
a 56 Norton Dominator.

It's a motorcycle.

Okay, so...

I want you to say yes, okay?

Because you're gonna
thank me at your wedding.

We wanna set you up
with a really good friend of ours.

- Oh, it's fine. I'll do it.
- Yeah, her name is Helena Peabody.

No, she's in the same place.
So that's perfect.

What do you think?

Great! Okay.
You're gonna totally thank me.

Okay, you're the best.
We'll call and then arrange it.

Alright? Bye.

Yes! We should have
like a diner or something.

No. Diner.

- No, you're gonna love her.
- You'll love her.

I'm sure I am. You two
are so excited about her.

Definitively I will.

- Yes, she's so cool.
- Yeah, she's really chill.

- Once you've... yeah...
- It will be fun.

- It's gonna be great.
- Thank you.

Okay. You guys?

Oh, great.

I have a really good feeling
about this.

I think
it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Okay. So it's called
clutter cleaning, right?

And the concept is
that you clear out

your house and your life
and

it's a really good thing
to do when you're starting

a new project
or a new relationship.

Or when you wanna get rid
of your shit.

So, here you go.

I thought that we could start
in my closet. I mean,

you know, I don't think there is
too much to get rid of, but,

I'm sure there is
a few things in here

that I can stand to get rid of.

- "Boomchi" by Koko Dozo -

Come on.

Alright.

I'll hold your bag?

No, no, no.
You have to participate.

- Oh, come on!
- It's symbolic!

It's all about
making choices, Shane.

I will start. Okay.

For example,

this

reminds me of
my Jean Seberg look,

which I am not
that into anymore.

I liked your Jean Seberg look.

I did.

Well, your turn.

Come on, it's not my place.

Of course it's your place!
Just tell me

what represents a facet

of my personnality that

I should just
be getting rid of.

Should I...

- ... just get...
- That's, that's a tricky question.

Okay, okay, I'll do it again.
Okay. Me again.

For example,

these remind me of Tim.

Right? Of

my post

college mentality
when I was still,

you know,
in my student world, right?

It was also
inner schrinck mentality.

- Okay, your turn.
- Alright, alright.

Oh, how about this?

I actually remember this.
I really do.

Wasn't this during your

time you eloped?

That reminds me of Marina.

- Oh, Jesus me!
- No, seriously.

- She was my first love.
- And no one understood why.

Seriously, tell me what

I should get rid of.

I don't believe
in changing people.

Please!

Get out of here.

Move.

Oh my! You have so much shit!

- Not really.
- I mean you really

could get rid of half of this
and still have so much more!

Oh, this shit.

- No!
- You never use this.

My art supplies! No way!

Do you know that one day
a foundation

is gonna want all
these little bits and pieces?

Picasso, you haven't used these
since we've been living together.

But that doesn't mean
I won't start, okay?

- Let's put these back.
- Alright.

Okay, what else?

- That.
- No!

- Oh god! Alright. Okay.
- I can't. That's, that's designer.

What else? Come on!
Where are you going?

I'm just not okay with it.

It's just that simple.

I thought we got through this.

Oh yeah, we just sort of when
you were blatantly flirting with her

right into you
introducing her

as your business partner.

You know what, Tina?
I'm not gonna spend

the rest of my life
on probation.

I'm just not.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Wait, wait, wait.

We don't need all that.

I told Angie three books
and three videos.

- Three books is not enough.
- Yes, it is.

No, she goes through three books
so quickly. What about Henry?

It's just one night, Bette.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

I don't want her to miss him.

Okay. Fine.

You know, I just...

I wish you had talk to me
about it first, that's all.

I would have. I just,
I didn't even know

that I was gonna propose it.
It just...

It's a huge decision

you getting back
into the gallery business.

I know, but it's what
I've always loved the most.

I know. I know.

It's just...

It's really scary right now.

You know, with the house
under construction and

my job's not exactly secured.

That's why it comes
at such a great time. I mean,

she's gonna make me a partner.

You sound like
it's already done deal.

I'm hoping it is.

And this is a business decision,
Tina,

you know, and
if you don't believe that, then

I suggest you come up
with a better solution.

Jenny, I gave away most of
my stuff last year when I

donated to the A.P.L.A.

Well, you're wonderful.

So...

Oh my god!

This is from that horrible
Paige era.

Alright, get rid of it.

Drop it!

This belongs to that
Beverly Hills housewife.

When you were dating her.
What's her name?

Cheri Jaffe.

Should be expunged.

Carmen...

I wanna have some sort of

remembrance of her,

however small.

Why?

That's the old Shane.

You know, the one that
couldn't honor her commitments.

You're not like that anymore.

- What?
- I'm not throwing her away.

You know, if I was
gonna start my own gallery,

I'd have to go out,
I'd have to get alone.

- I'd have to...
- You pretty get alone right now.

There's no way.
We're mortgaged to the hell.

But that's my point.

Kelly, Kelly Wentworth
...

Your sister said that you
almost killed yourself over her.

What?

Is the taxi ready?

That's a complete exaggeration.
And it was, like,

I dunno, over 15 years ago.

Wasn't there somebody that
you wanted to kill yourself over

- the last 15 years? I'm sure there was.
- Taxi. Mommy, the taxi.

You people
want your taxi or what?

- Where's the taxi? Come on. Let's go.
- You go with mama T., sweetie.

- "Is It Love" by Mayra Casales -

Can you give me
three of this, please?

Okay, well let's do
the cheese and the nut loaf.

Sorry I'm late.

Alright. Well,

I'm actually running home
so I can look up the ingredients

and then just get what we need.

Okay.
I'm super super excited.

Alright.
I'll see you very soon.

Jamie's like weirdly perfect,
you know?

She's gonna come over
early tonight and

we're gonna cook.

We're gonna make like
a vegetarian thing.

Isn't that weird though
that we're both vegetarian?

You're not vegetarian.

I have been eating
so many vegetables lately

like

- extra vegetables.
- Cute.

- What about Helena?
- What about her?

She's not vegetarian.

No, but either is Tasha.

True.

Everyone's coming over
'cause we're all broke.

Helena's not broke.

But Jamie's not a gold digger,
like Dylan,

so that's why
we're not eating out.

- That sounds great.
- In fact, I feel like

she's kind
of the most honest

self-sacrificing person I've met
in a really really long time.

I'm just saying she's a
new friend and I'm excited and

I just want everything
to be perfect tonight. That's all.

For you or for Helena?

Why is Jenny here?
You didn't tell me...

I just finished writing. So

I was gonna grab something
to eat 'cause I'm starving.

Do you guys mind
if I join you?

Sure.

Totally.

Thanks.

Were you smoking?

- Really?
- Really.

So what are you making tonight?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You down, you're a good boy.

- Doggy.
- He's just doing his job.

I'm really sorry
if he scared you.

Come in, please.

I was never this thirsty
with Ryan.

They are so cute!

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

So, I have no idea,

I have no idea
who Ryan's father is,

I mean, we were never married
or anything, but,

I'm pretty sure he's the father
of Ryan's bigger brother, Jacob.

So you have two children?

Yeah, I know it's...

But I moved back home

after I had Ryan at my mom's...

She helps out with the kids
while I'm at work and stuff.

She and my stepdad

are actually just out
with Jacob right now.

I obviously can't

really afford another one.

You know what I think?
It's admirable

what you're doing
to help your family.

Yeah, but also,

my parents don't know
about this baby's father

because they would
fuck him.

Right,
we completely understand.

So, I really loved the pictures
of your house that you sent.

All that art work you have
is awesome!

Thanks. But actually
we're building

a second storey so the baby
can have their own

bedroom.

Cool.

So, which one of you
is in the movie business?

I am.

What movies have you worked on?

I'm really into all Pixar stuff
'cause of the little guys, but...

I've never done
a family movie.

I'd love to.

It would be great.

Actually I just did
a movie with Nikki Stevens.

Really?

My God! It's awesome!
I love her. She's so cool.

Did you see "Beverly Hills Chihuahua"?
Angie loves that movie.

Oh my God, it's weird!
That was like our favorite movie.

My stepdad actually
cried a little bit when

the german sheppard
got his sense of smell back.

But he's really embarassed about it.
So don't say it.

Hi, I'm Bette Porter.

- Hi, Tina Kennard.
- Hey, Jacky.

You hear about the adoption?

He's gonna play
with his Batmobil.

Is it okay if she goes too?

She's okay back there
with the boys.

???? toilet underneath them. .

I'm sure they'll be fine.

Which one of you is
the mother?

We both are.

I'd like to know how that works.

Tina gave birth to her.

Really?

I would have thought
it was you. You're just more...

Yeah, I would have too.

That's why we chose
an African-American donor,

so that she would look like
both of us.

Well, how does she look
like her?

- Could you stop it?
- I'm wondering.

Marci, it's OK.

Are you, uh,
still together with the father?

No.

He was just a donor.
I adopted Angelica from birth.

But you're married.

Well, you know it's funny,
we'd always

said that we wouldn't
even consider

getting married until there were
full and complete equal rights

under the law.
It should be a federal law.

That's what we believe.
And in some ways,

I mean, having said that I think
that we're getting closer to it,

you know, and if, and when this
latest ballot measure is overturned,

then I think at that time,
we would probably,

think about, you know,
whether we really want...

I think she's asking if
you are married to a man.

You're kidding?

Mom, they're together
with each other.

Like, they're a couple.

And you knew that?

- Yeah. It's my choice, mom.
- The hell it is.

You move outta here and
you take care of your own kids,

then it's up to you.

I think it's time for

both of you to go.

- Here you go!
- You sit.

- "Broken" by Tift Merritt -

What?! Wait a minute.
We tell Tasha that,

she's gonna freak out!
It's crazy.

Yeah, well, I only lasted
for about six months.

My dad was very disappointed.

Why?
'Cause you didn't stay in it?

Why was he?

He comes from a long line of cops.
Two of my brothers serve.

So this is a big thing
in our family.

Yeah, but you serve
in your own way.

Definitively.

That's what I tell him.

And he doesn't believe you?

I don't know. I think
what you do is really important.

For sure. I mean,

it's like you save as many lives
as a police officer does.

You should come work
at the center.

The kids really admire you.
You could help so much.

No, and what would I do?

Just your presence
would mean a lot.

If you ever want to,
I don't know,

maybe do
a workshop with them or...

Right.

Oh, and of course
there's fundraising.

- It all comes down to fundraising.
- Oh my god!

I have no money right now

to give. I mean,
I do have rich friends.

Are you really gonna do this
one by one?

Yeah, well, I was gonna buy...

Let me show you a trick.

Just trying to...

It's a little trick.

What? Put them away?

No nuts in the nutloaf?

Oh my god...

That's good.
That's really good.

I mean,
clearly it's not as fast as my,

my system, but,

it's good.

I'm a little nervous.

Oh, Helena is...

She is great. You're gonna...
Do not be nervous.

- "Fairy Tale" by Mimi & Teft -

I just love boys' night.

Yeah. I just love looking
at all these

beautiful boys.

So what put you off men,
honey child?

What didn't?

You got burned?

Well, when you,
when you tangle with a man,

you gonna get burned.
You know?

Men are just full of shit!

I just enjoy just

hanging out with my girfriend.

Where is
that girlfriend of your?

Oh, well, she's at Alice's.

Alice and Tasha are going
to try to get

her to get
over this Dylan Moreland.

Yeah, see,
she's this nasty bitch

that she met a few years back.

So is your lady still hung
on this person?

I hope not.

It'll break my heart.

Honey,

anybody who messes
with Kit Porter's heart

gonna have to answer
to Sunset Boulevard.

And that is not something
I recommend.

Well, you go on with
your bad self.

I got you.

Yeah, we were saying
as you entered

the four of us could maybe go
for a midnight walk tonight.

- "Don't Break Away"
by Soul Children -

That would be lovely.
As long as it's not

Runyon Canyon. You know
that place...

I just love Runyon Canyon.
Especially at night.

It's always overrun

with unemployed actors
and gangsters members.

I don't even care if it's
overcrowded. I just fall

on everytime
with that incredible view.

Okay. So, this is,
this is Helena Peabody.

This is Jamie Chen.

- It's nice to meet you.
- It's a pleasure.

Cool.

So we made a nutloaf.

Incredible. It's like meatloaf,
but it's nuts.

- That's nuts.
- Great.

Cool. Alright.

- "Back It Up" by BETTY -

I tell you what.
You call me,

maybe I can teach you
many different things.

I'm a really good student.

You're gonna call me, right?

Are you having a good time?

Max, this is Gerard.
Gerard, Max.

So you make sure
you call me, okay?

- That's rude.
- He was just being friendly.

It's what guys do.

Whatever.

How would you feel?

I would feel like you were
a living breathing human being

who wasn't trying to pretend
you didn't notice a hot guy.

Hi, handsome.

What're you drinking?

Mineral water.

It's not so bad.

Just a few more months, right?

Thanks.

I'd better go.

Alright. Go talk to him.

I'm sorry.

All these things are happening
to my body,

and they totally go
against how I feel about myself.

I guess
I'm just a little scared, okay?

I just feel things so intensely.
It's driving me fucking nuts.

But I love you, all right?

And I know
you're gonna be a great dad.

And I'm really excited
to start a family with you.

I'm sorry.

Oh, I picked that up.

Oh my gosh,
you were so cute!

Look what
a little tomboy you were.

Oh, yeah, I was.

And look how girly
she turned out!

I wanna have a lot of kids.

What about you?

- Well, you know, I think about it.
- I think I want like 2 or 3.

If things turn out that way.

- "Dreaming" by Lucia Iman -

So you really wanna kids, huh?
After you work with them all day?

Oh my gosh, yes,
I love them.

You don't want kids?

I do, I do, I do. Yeah.

Probably a lot of them.

Helena has kids;
she has two. A boy and a girl.

Oh, you do?

I don't have custody, though.
My ex does. Their other mother.

Oh, but you see them?

Yeah, every couple a month.

She took them and
moved to the south of France.

You only see your children
every couple a month?

That must be really hard.

Yeah, but she won this

court ruling which my family
supported her on. So...

Oh, god! I sound like
the worst mother on the planet.

- Scrabble?
- Yeah.

- What do you think?
- If you want me to kick your ass.

Oh please, as if.

Actually, I don't think I wanna
play a word game with you two.

Let's play
monopoly or something.

- I love monopoly too.
- Helena?

Monopoly? Scrabble?

You know what actually?
I can't. I've got to go.

It's our first boys' night

at the Hit bar.
I should be there.

But you know what?
This is being...

This is being great. It's been
lovely. It's been delicious.

Do you wanna take
some nutloaf to go?

I can wrap some up
for you.

No. I mean, it was lovely,
but I'll probably,

- I'll... It was so good to meet you.
- It was so nice to meet you too.

- I'll see you soon.
- You're really nice. Thank you guys

for organizing this.
That was great.

Alright. See you, Tasha.

- She's a really great girl.
- Yeah,

she's good. She's great.

Yeah, she's nice.

Alright, we tried.

Alright.

Have fun.

I'll talk to you later.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry
I went to the Planet. I just...

I'm at a loss, Helena.
I don't know what to do.

Have dinner with me.

I'll let you know when.

Fuck!

Look, you are gonna love it.

Alright, let me see.

It's an office!

I turned your bedroom
into an office!

- You what?
- Well, I've been wanting

to have an office so

I didn't have to write
in the kitchen

and now that we're sleeping
together, I just thought that

this would actually be perfect.

- No!
- Come on. Just think about this.

If you don't have to tiptoe
around me late at night?

Are you testing me?

Is that what this is about?
Are you, are you...

Are you...

I mean, are you putting on
the Crazy Jenny Show

just to see how far
you can push it with me?

Is that what this is?

What are you doing? What?

I can change it back.

We are obviously
in different places in our life.

I don't need you to change
this back. I just ask

that next time,

when you do something like this,
you talk to me about it.

- Okay, I'm just stupid.
- Will you stop?

- Stop, don't... Do me a favor.
- Absolutely everything...

Don't get melodramatic
right now, okay?

Please.

Do you hate me?

Do you love me?

I do.

I love you.

I do.

That's the only part
of my job that I kinda hate

but I know important it is,

and I'm always trying to come up
with something different.

Oh yeah. I know
I hate fundraising diners.

- Rubber chicken dinners.
- I used to have to go to them

when I used to be
in the service.

And the worst part
is the entertainment.

My grandma could
do a better job than that.

I know, I'm serious!
She really could!

I went to one in college
that was cool.

I used to be an Act UP.

Did I tell you that?
Yeah.

And it was like a dance marathon
kind of a thing.

- It was good.
- Oh my god, I love that idea.

Yeah, it sounds fun.

Yeah, because
we have these kids

that are like amazing dancers
at the center.

Is that something we could do?

I wouldn't have the first idea
how to go about it.

Well, you just get
like a cool space,

like Hit or something.
It won't be hard.

So...

So what?

No, I don't...
I'm just saying it's a good idea.

Don't you think
she'd be really good at this?

Yeah, you seem so interested
and you don't have a job. So...

- What are you saying?
- Oh come on, you're born to do this.

You'd be great event chair.
Please.

- Please, please? Would you help me?
- What?

- Well I'll help you, of course.
- Oh, thank you. Thank you!

- You're so wonderful.
- But you're helping.

- I am?
- Yes, you are.

Yes, you are. Thank you.
Oh my god, you're just so great!

Thank you. Thank you so much.
It's gonna be so cool.

Yeah, it'll be good.
Totally.

Why can't a man
just come up and say

what's on his mind?

Well, you tell me
what it'd sound like to you.

Back in the day, when I was
all men up and,

and I was waiting
for something good,

I had this fantasy.

Share it, girlfriend.

I was shopping
at Gelson's for groceries,

when

this straight-up

brother comes up to me.

No bling, no attitude.

- "The Fruit Machine"
by The Ting Tings -

And he says to me,
"You are one"

"beautiful woman"

"and I would just love
to wake up with"

"your arms and legs
wrapped around me"

It sounds nice.

Hey, what's wrong?

Nothing.

I don't get
why you're so pissed at me.

I'm not pissed.
I'm just tired.

You looked hot at the club.

All those guys
were checking you out.

Guys were checking you out too.

They were trying to figure out
if I was pregnant or just fat.

You know, it's getting old, Max,

you putting yourself down
all the time.

You're right.

I'll try to be
so soft replicating.

15 more minutes, honey.

Yeah? Okay. You can,
can you hear me?

Don't be discouraged.
We're still on the list.

I'm sure
we'll find the baby

who's meant to be a part
of our family.

I'm just
stunned by the ignorance.

Yeah, well, welcome
to the rest of America.

I think maybe
we've dodged a bullet.

What do you mean?

I don't know. I'm just,

I'm having second thoughts
about the adoption.

It's just, you know, it just feels
like there are so many things

that are just out
of our control.

That's how it is.
Everything's out of our control.

But every baby
has a genetic imprint.

You know?
Whether we like it or not.

And the fact is we don't know
anything about Marcy.

Not really. We don't know anything
about this baby's father.

And without
that family history,

I just don't wanna be
inviting that into,

yeah, I don't wanna be
exposing Angelica to that

way of thinking.

This will be our baby.

I think we'll have
a great influence on its life.

Of course, we will.

I'm just trying
to talk honestly with you.

This is my response
to what happened today.

Who is it?

It's Marcy.

I hope you don't mind.
I was gonna call, but

I don't want
Bob and my mom to hear. So...

- It's fine.
- Why don't you come in?

- Come sit down.
- Okay, yeah, thanks.

I just wanted to...

I just, I'm really sorry

about what happened today.
My parents don't

approve, but they don't approve
of lots of stuff, so...

- We understand.
- These things happen.

Yeah. But I really don't care.

I mean, this is my body,
and my baby, and my decision,

and

you're the family
that I want my baby to go to.

Are you sure?

Have you met

- the other two couples?
- Yeah, I met them. I mean, they're

fine. I just...

I don't like 'em
as much as I like you guys.

They're just not
as interesting and

this baby, he's gonna have
an interesting life.

He?

It's a boy.

Which is another reason
why I want you to be

his parents.

'Cause this world needs boys
who are gonna do things

different.

And I really want my baby
to have a chance at that.

At making this world,
you know, just a little better.

So, yeah...

Thank you.

Okay, so I'm not gonna be...
So just...

Call me.

What the fuck was that?!
I can't take this!

I can't take it!

I'm happy.

It was just a momentary thing.

We're gonna have a baby.
