The L Word: Generation Q (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - Episode #3.2 - full transcript
Previously, on
"The L Word: Generation Q"...
I've loved you my whole life.
And I've loved you all of mine.
I just wish that you were
fucking better at it.
- Hi.
- Technically,
we have been on a break
since she's been
at sober living.
I'm just sorry.
About everything.
Because you really
deserve to be loved.
We should just move in together.
Of course I want to
live with you.
Let me talk to Nat.
You do so much for Tess.
She's all domesticated now,
she's got the live-in
mother-in-law and all...
So grown up.
Do you need anything else?
I'm just across town.
Bette's been putting in
a lot of personal work.
She's been reflecting.
These Gen Zers are hot,
they're smart,
they're bi...
They don't want the white
picket fence.
Come on.
Have a little fun with me.
I don't even know
if I remember how.
I don't think a talent
like yours ever goes away.
I think it's always in you.
You lose yourself in her.
She's different now.
You both are toxic together.
You have been
hanging out with that therapist
for way too long.
Maribel,
will you marry me?
I don't want to get married.
I want to have a baby.
I know we don't want to do
the whole marriage/kids thing.
The bar is our baby.
- Let's buy another baby.
- I'll think about it.
How'd it go with Nat?
Did she give us permission
to live together?
Are you breaking up with me?
- I love you, Angie.
- No, no, no, no.
You don't get to say that.
Can you seriously,
like, get out.
I don't want to leave.
Then don't.
♪ Don't find trouble, yeah ♪
♪ Trouble finds me ♪
You got to be fucking
kidding me.
- Uh.
- Oh, um...
Did you, did you...
- Honey, are you okay?
- Is there something you for...?
- Did you forget something?
- Did you forget something?
Yeah. I mean, we were just
gonna watch a movie...
Are you seriously gonna act
like I just didn't see...
- Uh, just, just...
- Ew!
No. Um...
I'm gonna give you your privacy.
Wait, Angelica...
Please don't.
Let her go.
God, she seemed pretty upset.
She's seen worse.
We can talk to her tomorrow.
- Maybe at Marcus's opening.
- Yeah.
We should give her some space.
Yeah, I was thinking
the same thing.
- What exactly would you tell her?
- What exactly would you tell her?
Are we gonna tell her
that it was a mistake or...?
Was it?
No, I mean, I-I don't think so.
Do...?
Neither do I.
I mean, it feels so real to me.
Yeah, it is real.

She didn't say no.
She just said she wants to
know you better.
Okay, well, I'm not
moving in with Nat.
I'm moving in with you.
Yeah, baby,
but it's not personal.
- How could it not be?
- It's just dinner.
I don't need to prove
myself to Nat.
That's not what this is about.
And you have to stop making me
feel bad for having kids.
Moving in together
- involves Eli and Olive.
- Okay.
Don't talk to me like
I'm a child.
So stop acting like one.
Excuse me?
Where's my phone?
Are you dating me or her?
Oh, my... Daniela.
Okay.
Oh.
It's your ex-wife.
Hi, Nat. What's up?
Can... hold on.
Can you please...
No. I don't...
I don't want to right now.
Yeah, I'm here. What's up?
Are you awake?
Mm-mm.
I can't believe...
you're saying no.
I didn't say no.
Well, you haven't said
yes either.
I said I needed time.
Mm.
But the bar's doing so well.
We're the only
lesbian bar in L.A.
- Mm-hmm.
- Imagine if we had two.
Oh, it'd be so glam.
Are you manipulating me?
- I'm not manipulating you.
- No?
No. I'm not.
What? You think
I was born yesterday?
No, I don't think that.
I just, I just want you
to think about it.
I told you
I would think about it.
Think harder.
Oh, hang on.
Oh, this might be
the real estate agent.
It is. Hello?
Yes, this is Tess.
Oh, that's great. Yes.
So the inspector can come by
this afternoon?
Oh, my God.
Amazing. Awesome.
♪ Whoo-ee! ♪
Where's my little Popsicle?
- Hey, babe.
- Hi.
- What you doing?
- Oh, shit. Check it.
It's an easel.
- Okay...
- For Pictionary.
Oh, okay.
- Oh, you're serious. Okay.
- You don't...
We did these
game nights at sober living
and, I don't know,
I thought it could be fun.
Aw. All right, let's do it.
But you better be good
because I suck at losing, okay?
- We don't lose.
- She's in.
There we go.
I'm moderate,
but I'm a fun hang, okay?
Micah!
Oh... maybe it could just be us?
- You know, just you and me?
- What? Why?
- You mad at Micah?
- No.
It's just Maribel.
She... she hates you.
Wow.
- Rough.
- Mm.
Okay.
- Yeah.
- That's a bummer.
I know.
I still think it's a good idea.
How could it still be
a good idea?
No. Maribel and I just
got to spend
some QT together, okay?
- I got this.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna easel her into it.
- Ooh!
Okay, I'm gonna go show-show.
I do not smell good.
- Okay, love you.
- Love you.
Oh, boy.
Mira.
Hey.
- I heard everything.
- Oh, good.
Ay, no, no. ¡Esta Finley
es un dolor de cabeza!
- I'm not doing it.
- No.
Look.
Finley's changed a lot
and she just wants to show you
that she's different now.
Please?
For me.
Please.
Mm.
Yes?
Okay?
Help.

They're not
letting us in on anything.
Do you know if they're
coming together?
Maybe.
All I know is that Tina texted,
said she wanted to meet up.
So she's not using
the group chat.
That's my...
God, I love the drama though.
I do.
It's gorg. Getting better.
- Thank you.
- Getting better?
- Oh, now look at this.
- I can't believe it.
This is cute.
Oh, holding hands.
Is this really happening?
- It's happening.
- Oh, my God.
We're taking it slow.
Yeah, I fly out tonight.
But we're just, we're gonna
keep on talking and...
Right.
We have a lot to figure out.
Yeah, we do, we do.
We have a lot of things
to figure out.
- It's like no time has passed.
- Not skipping a beat.
Time travel.
So, did you tell Angie yet?
Uh, well, unfortunately,
she-she caught us in the act.
- Oh. How gross for her.
- I know.
Well, she just
came home, I mean...
Actually, I didn't even know
why she came home, do you?
I don't know why she came home.
- I-I know.
- Oh.
You didn't hear this
from me. Promise?
But Jordi broke up with her.
- Wait, what? No.
- Shit.
- Yeah.
- On the first night of school?
First night.
Oh, my God.
We are terrible mothers.
I never liked that kid.
Like, from the very beginning,
I never liked...
Okay.
Don't get negative here, okay?
Angie's gonna be very excited
about this happening.
Right? It's every
divorced kid's dream.
Really is.
Well, not every,
but it was mine.
- Are you sexting?
- Hey...
Getting sexy time?
Mm.
- You and Tess are so gross.
- No, I'm not.
Are you guys coming to
Marcus's opening tonight?
- You are, right?
- Of course.
- That's the plan.
- Absolutely.
In fact, I invited
an age-appropriate actress
- as my date.
- Oh, define age-appropriate.
Red flags with
those actors, Alice.
- Really?
- Yep. Mm-hmm.
- Is she famous?
- Danger. Danger.
Have I seen her in something?
She is in a Marvel movie.
- Oh.
- Apparently.
- Oh, wow.
- Or no. Uh, um...
- Oh, like a D-DC?
- DC Comic?
- Uh... a DC universe?
- Does it make a...
What's the difference on
either one of those movies?
I don't know the difference.
I don't... oh.
- I think it's darker.
- Money. She makes good money.
This might be
Jojo Siwa's people.
Hi, I was just thinking
about you.
Who's Jojo Siwa?
You know, I only understand
maybe half of what she says.
Well, 'cause she's in her own,
you know, magical universe.
- Unicorns, bubbles...
- Rainbows.
- Pastel.
- Rainbows.
- Champagne.
- Xanax.
Oompa Loompas.

Hey.
Okay, so are words
allowed in Pictionary?
Because I know
that you're drawing,
but you get, like,
a special phrase
or something, right?
Like a little hint or...
Wow. So I'm carrying the team.
It's just, I'm more of
a comeback guy, you know?
Oh, yeah. Sure you are.
- I'm gonna love to see that.
- You will.
Oh. Congratulations,
by the way, on the baby.
Like a goo-goo gaga,
fucking cute baby.
You're not supposed
to know that.
Oh, was that a secret?
Oh, it's gonna be so cute.
A little combo
of both your faces.
Wait.
No.
No...
You're gonna have to choose.
How are you gonna choose?
You guys both have
such good faces.
Look at this.
No, look,
we're not having a baby.
We're just talking
about having a baby.
Right.
Because I didn't say yes
to the baby.
Just talking about a baby.
Okay, sorry.
Not a strong start for me.
Let's hope I'm kind of
a comeback kid too, huh?
I'm gonna go fuck off now.
Thanks.
- Sorry.
- You have a big mouth, you know?

If you give my Vogue
contact an exclusive sit-down,
I think it'd go a long way
for the show.
- Of course.
- And for me, too.
Your business is doing well.
I mean, you had a successful
event at Dana's
and now you've got this. Right?
Thank you. Yeah.
Is it weird if
I talk to you about Gigi?
Because...
N... of course. No.
Come on, Dani.
I'm-I'm an adult.
I mean, most of the time.
Okay.
Well, I asked her
to move in with me.
- Congratulations.
- Well, thank you.
But, um...
she said we have to
talk to Nat about it first.
As a trio.
- Right.
- She's lost her mind.
It's just... um...
Nat is Gigi's co-parent, right?
So she's not
prioritizing Nat, per se,
she's prioritizing her family.
And really you want that.
You know, you want your
partner to be a good parent
and, I don't know, it seems
like Gigi is being just that.
The question is are you,
are you ready to be a parent?
- You ready, baby?
- Yeah. Go, go, go, go!
Okay, let's go. Okay.
Circle. Ball. Golf?
You know I'm only 28, right?
Yeah, you mentioned that.
My mom had me when she was 26.
Look how I turned out.
- Baby, focus!
- Um, um, um, bird?
Okay, bird.
- Um, okay...
- Did you ever think
that I might want to carry?
No. Do you?
No, no,
but that's not the point.
The point is that
you didn't think of me.
Uh, carton of milk?
Um, um, um...
Look at the fucking picture,
look at the picture.
- Look at the picture!

Hey. So good to see you.
- Hey.
- Hi.
So, what do you think?
This is incredible, Bette.
If only Marcus
could've seen this.
Yeah, if only.
It's incredible to see so much
of his work in one place.
Yeah. Um...
can I speak with you for just
one moment a little bit later?
- Sure.
- Oh, yeah. Sorry, I'm...
- Are you in trouble?
- No. No.
After I got dumped,
I walked in on my mom
kissing my other mom,
- so...
- Oh, my God.
Worst first night
of college ever, right?
Sort of.
But, I mean,
you're single and in L.A.
and you technically
have your own spot so...
- Ooh. You're right.
- Mm-hmm.
This could be, like,
my ho phase.
- Yes.
- Yeah?
- Exactly.
- Okay, you're right.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Ooh.
- It's gonna be fun.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks for inviting me
as your date tonight.
Ever since my movie came out,
paparazzi have been hounding me.
I'm sure you understand.
Well, I'm not that kind
of famous, but...
That doesn't
sound like too much fun.
Hmm... It's not bad,
but I do a lot of volleyballs.
Oh.
And that helps keep me grounded.
Like a rec league?
Sort of, but it's invite only.
I'd love to take you sometime.
So it's, like, discreet?
Totally get it.
But I try not to play sports.
I'll-I'll come cheer you on.
I'm going to get
some more ice for my wine.
- Okay.
- Do you need anything?
No. All good.
- Shane.
- Several red flags.
- What? No.
- Yeah.
- But... she's great.
- Mm.
She's passionate
about social issues,
she has a mentor
who's in prison.
Oh, who?
Like Keith Raniere?
Okay.
As if...
Don't be crazy.
No, her guy...
He's actually wrongly
convicted, of course.
And then, Asia's gonna help
get him out of prison.
Which I think is hot.
Yeah. Well,
then she sounds very busy.
- What's wrong with being busy?
- Nothing.
Care for a spritzer?
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Cheers.
What was that?
What?
You, like, practically
eye fucked that girl.
It was a lot.
No, I didn't.
Oh, no.
- You've got the itch.
- What itch?
In every relationship I ever
see you in, you get the itch.
I don't have the itch.
I don't even know
what that means.
Things get too real,
you get restless,
and then you start to,
like, wiggle.
Please. I don't wiggle.
I'm literally watching
you wiggle right now.
Look at you.
It's a wiggle.
- It's not a wiggle.
- All right.
- Okay. Um...
- Okay.
- Uh, police?
- Uh, no.
Um, a puppy? A dog!
No, it...
Here.
- A puppy!
- Look, it's...
Oh, kink!
Pictionary's not
that progressive yet. Uh...
- Time's up.
- Time, time, time. Stop.
Jesus Christ.
- It's goggles.
- Uh-huh.
You guy's got to have
a huddle or something.
Raise morale.
- This is tough to watch.
- Play nice.
Oh, is that what we need?
Team spirit?
Talk to me.
Talk to you?
I feel like you told our friends
before we could even
start talking about it.
She's my sister.
Um, I do have special
privileges there. Hello?
We just, we have to slow down.
Yeah, sounds like that
train's left the station.
It's not funny.
My mom doesn't even know
we're dating yet.
You haven't told your mom
that we've been dating?
We've been living together for,
like, eight months.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Um, so, are...
Are you coming to sit down?
Yeah, yeah.
I am. I just, uh...
I just really like this one.
Is this, um,
is this when I lost my earring?
Yes. This is
when you lost your earring.
Watch this.
Oh.
Oh...
Looks like you've lost
your earring in your hair.
Thank you.
I could have sworn I saw you
put that back in.
You're rewriting history.
I kissed you first.
Yeah, well, there was also
this boyfriend, Eric,
and he's not here either.
So I just figured
I could improvise.
- I forgot about him.
- Oh, my God.
I forgot about him, too.
This is so much better
than the first time.
I agree.
Let's go get our girl.
Yeah.
Hi, it's Gigi.
Leave a message.
Hey, it's me.
I'm sorry for reacting
the way I did earlier.
I... Nat is just
looking after the kids.
Have a good night.
And I will happily plead my case
to live with you.
So please tell her to call me
or I can call her.
Whatever works.
And, uh...
I would really love
for you to come tonight
if you're not working
too late.
I want to see you.
I love you.
Please come, okay?
Please come, bye.
Well, we just, uh...
We just wanted you to know
we're together together.
No shit.
I literally saw you guys...
making out, so...
That was unfortunate.
I'm sorry about that.
- We just...
- Yeah.
We wanted you to know that,
um, it's not a fling.
- You know? It's...
- Yeah.
And-and nothing that matters
is gonna change.
You don't have
to worry about me.
You know, I'll be fine.
I don't know if you heard, but
I'm kind of an adult now, so...
But even adults
experience heartbreak.
We heard about Jordi.
We're sorry.
Yeah, we wish we could have
been there for you.
Yeah. No, no... yeah.
Thank you.
I mean, I appreciate it,
but it's fine, honestly.
There's...
Kayla's great, and Shane.
Just don't worry.
I have people outside of you two.
- Okay.
- Okay.
That's great to hear.
- You're such a grownup.
- Okay, stop.
'Cause once you start,
you won't stop.
- Excuse me, Miss Porter?
- Yes?
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi. I'm your biggest fan.
Oh.
I just wanted to say
how much I admire you
and your work.
- Thank you.
- I mean, what you've been able
to achieve
with this archive is...
Oh, so kind of you.
Have you... had you heard of
Marcus Allenwood's work?
Um, yeah.
Hi. Sorry, my buddy is
super weird.
Every opening we go to,
he always does this.
He makes a beeline
to the curator,
or gallery owner,
or art dealer.
It is never the artist.
Mm-hmm.
He gets so close to
real greatness,
and he chooses to talk to
the guy who does the paperwork.
You know?
I'm sure she'd love to hear that
she's just the paperwork guy.
Y-You don't know her, do you?
Barely.
She's just my mom.
She actually...
Oh. Okay.
That was great.
All right. Micah, I have to say,
- you're so good at Pictionary.
- Pfft.
Can the sarcasm be
any more present?
Hey, did you get
to try the, uh, soft Brie?
- Yeah.
- It's from Ralphs,
but it feels eclectic.
Yeah, it was good.
Yeah, I thought so, too.
Hey,
I don't have a good relationship
with my mom.
And I know
a lot of people don't.
Like, I don't think
Micah and his mom really...
What are you trying
to do here?
Nothing. I just...
I think maybe I take things
too personally sometimes
that I shouldn't,
and I think that,
you know,
maybe it's not about you.
Oh, it's definitely
not about you.
Okay. Fuck.
I was just trying to help. I...
You know, I didn't ask for help,
especially from you.
- What is going on?
- Nothing.
Uh, okay.
Why don't we just go upstairs?
Come on.
No, we... We're fine.
We like each other, okay?
No, we don't, actually.
And to be honest,
I liked whoever she was fucking
while you were gone.
Geez.

Okay, I-I know that... I know
this is weird, and it's...
It's fine.
No, it's obviously not.
So... I mean, but...
I mean, we kind of talked
about this before, right?
When... on the phone with...
I mean, just...
Well, you said
that we were on a break.
- I know.
- And you said
that you didn't want me
to wait for you, and...
- I know.
- Right and then you said
that if... you know,
you didn't want to know
about it if it happened.
That's still true.
They didn't mean anything.
There was more than one?
No. "They," singular.
- How many times?
- No.
You just said that you didn't
want to know about it,
so now this feels like a trap.
You're right. You're right.
I don't want to know about it.
I, um...
Look, you didn't
do anything wrong, okay?
You didn't, really. I just...
It still hurts, you know?
Well, that's not fair.

- But you were the...
No matter how, like,
legal or whatever it is,

Okay.
What? You can't apologize
for hurting me? I...
You just said
I didn't do anything wrong.
- You just said that.
- Okay, I...
I... I know
this is a "me" problem.
I know I brought this on myself
but, um, I need a second,
'cause right now, it really
feels like it's you, and...
Okay.
Jesus. I'm...
Fuck.
Hi, Finn.
Hey, are you busy?
I'm actually just pulling up
to a party with Shane.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nothing urgent.
Okay. Well, you've got this.
Right? You really do.
Um,
I'm gonna call you first thing
in the morning, okay?
Yeah. Of course.
Thanks, Tess. And have fun.
Love you. Bye.

Thank you. Thank you.
I want to thank you all
for being here to bear witness
to a body of work
by Marcus Allen wood.
He was a painter
of quiet brilliance.
We had a...
a personal connection
that went far beyond
the art world.
I'm sure
many of you have questions
as to why you haven't seen
his work before,
why... why it hasn't reached
this kind of stage before.
Well, besides the obvious,
the institutional racism
that limits and punishes
all Black artists,
the fact is that
Marcus always
put his family first.
He made extraordinary,
consistent work,
but he didn't isolate himself
from his family
or his community to do it.
He described his marriage
as a work of art.
He talked about his family being
his greatest accomplishment.
I think he understood
what so many of us struggle to,
and that is:
Our time here is limited.
He reminds me not
to waste another second.
So,
I am raising my glass
to the wonderful work
that fills these rooms.
And I thank you for being here.
It means the world to me.
Cheers.
This might sound trite, but...
Oh, I can be into trite.
I just...
I had a great time tonight.
I-I don't know what
I was expecting, but it...
it wasn't this.
Really? Hmm.
- Okay.
- Mm.
- You're beautiful.

we have been on a break
since she's been
at sober living.
I'm just sorry.

Hey. So good to see you.
- Hey.
- Hi.
So, what do you think?
This is incredible, Bette.
If only Marcus
could've seen this.
Yeah, if only.
It's incredible to see so much
of his work in one place.
Yeah. Um...
can I speak with you for just
one moment a little bit later?
- Sure.
- Oh, yeah. Sorry, I'm...
- Are you in trouble?
- No. No.
After I got dumped,
I walked in on my mom
kissing my other mom,
- so...
- Oh, my God.
Worst first night
of college ever, right?
Sort of.
But, I mean,
you're single and in L.A.
and you technically
have your own spot so...
- Ooh. You're right.
- Mm-hmm.
This could be, like,
my ho phase.
- Yes.
- Yeah?
- Exactly.
- Okay, you're right.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Ooh.
- It's gonna be fun.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks for inviting me
as your date tonight.
Ever since my movie came out,
paparazzi have been hounding me.
I'm sure you understand.
Well, I'm not that kind
of famous, but...
That doesn't
sound like too much fun.
Hmm... It's not bad,
but I do a lot of volleyballs.
Oh.
And that helps keep me grounded.
Like a rec league?
Sort of, but it's invite only.
I'd love to take you sometime.
So it's, like, discreet?
Totally get it.
But I try not to play sports.
I'll-I'll come cheer you on.
I'm going to get
some more ice for my wine.
- Okay.
- Do you need anything?
No. All good.
- Shane.
- Several red flags.
- What? No.
- Yeah.
- But... she's great.
- Mm.
She's passionate
about social issues,
she has a mentor
who's in prison.
Oh, who?
Like Keith Raniere?
Okay.
As if...
Don't be crazy.
No, her guy...
He's actually wrongly
convicted, of course.
And then, Asia's gonna help
get him out of prison.
Which I think is hot.
Yeah. Well,
then she sounds very busy.
- What's wrong with being busy?
- Nothing.
Care for a spritzer?
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Cheers.
What was that?
What?
You, like, practically
eye fucked that girl.
It was a lot.
No, I didn't.
Oh, no.
- You've got the itch.
- What itch?
In every relationship I ever
see you in, you get the itch.
I don't have the itch.
I don't even know
what that means.
Things get too real,
you get restless,
and then you start to,
like, wiggle.
Please. I don't wiggle.
I'm literally watching
you wiggle right now.
Look at you.
It's a wiggle.
- It's not a wiggle.
- All right.
- Okay. Um...
- Okay.
- Uh, police?
- Uh, no.
Um, a puppy? A dog!
No, it...
Here.
- A puppy!
- Look, it's...
Oh, kink!
Pictionary's not
that progressive yet. Uh...
- Time's up.
- Time, time, time. Stop.
Jesus Christ.
- It's goggles.
- Uh-huh.
You guy's got to have
a huddle or something.
Raise morale.
- This is tough to watch.
- Play nice.
Oh, is that what we need?
Team spirit?
Talk to me.
Talk to you?
I feel like you told our friends
before we could even
start talking about it.
She's my sister.
Um, I do have special
privileges there. Hello?
We just, we have to slow down.
Yeah, sounds like that
train's left the station.
It's not funny.
My mom doesn't even know
we're dating yet.
You haven't told your mom
that we've been dating?
We've been living together for,
like, eight months.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Um, so, are...
Are you coming to sit down?
Yeah, yeah.
I am. I just, uh...
I just really like this one.
Is this, um,
is this when I lost my earring?
Yes. This is
when you lost your earring.
Watch this.
Oh.
Oh...
Looks like you've lost
your earring in your hair.
Thank you.
I could have sworn I saw you
put that back in.
You're rewriting history.
I kissed you first.
Yeah, well, there was also
this boyfriend, Eric,
and he's not here either.
So I just figured
I could improvise.
- I forgot about him.
- Oh, my God.
I forgot about him, too.
This is so much better
than the first time.
I agree.
Let's go get our girl.
Yeah.
Hi, it's Gigi.
Leave a message.
Hey, it's me.
I'm sorry for reacting
the way I did earlier.
I... Nat is just
looking after the kids.
Have a good night.
And I will happily plead my case
to live with you.
So please tell her to call me
or I can call her.
Whatever works.
And, uh...
I would really love
for you to come tonight
if you're not working
too late.
I want to see you.
I love you.
Please come, okay?
Please come, bye.
Well, we just, uh...
We just wanted you to know
we're together together.
No shit.
I literally saw you guys...
making out, so...
That was unfortunate.
I'm sorry about that.
- We just...
- Yeah.
We wanted you to know that,
um, it's not a fling.
- You know? It's...
- Yeah.
And-and nothing that matters
is gonna change.
You don't have
to worry about me.
You know, I'll be fine.
I don't know if you heard, but
I'm kind of an adult now, so...
But even adults
experience heartbreak.
We heard about Jordi.
We're sorry.
Yeah, we wish we could have
been there for you.
Yeah. No, no... yeah.
Thank you.
I mean, I appreciate it,
but it's fine, honestly.
There's...
Kayla's great, and Shane.
Just don't worry.
I have people outside of you two.
- Okay.
- Okay.
That's great to hear.
- You're such a grownup.
- Okay, stop.
'Cause once you start,
you won't stop.
- Excuse me, Miss Porter?
- Yes?
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi. I'm your biggest fan.
Oh.
I just wanted to say
how much I admire you
and your work.
- Thank you.
- I mean, what you've been able
to achieve
with this archive is...
Oh, so kind of you.
Have you... had you heard of
Marcus Allenwood's work?
Um, yeah.
Hi. Sorry, my buddy is
super weird.
Every opening we go to,
he always does this.
He makes a beeline
to the curator,
or gallery owner,
or art dealer.
It is never the artist.
Mm-hmm.
He gets so close to
real greatness,
and he chooses to talk to
the guy who does the paperwork.
You know?
I'm sure she'd love to hear that
she's just the paperwork guy.
Y-You don't know her, do you?
Barely.
She's just my mom.
She actually...
Oh. Okay.
That was great.
All right. Micah, I have to say,
- you're so good at Pictionary.
- Pfft.
Can the sarcasm be
any more present?
Hey, did you get
to try the, uh, soft Brie?
- Yeah.
- It's from Ralphs,
but it feels eclectic.
Yeah, it was good.
Yeah, I thought so, too.
Hey,
I don't have a good relationship
with my mom.
And I know
a lot of people don't.
Like, I don't think
Micah and his mom really...
What are you trying
to do here?
Nothing. I just...
I think maybe I take things
too personally sometimes
that I shouldn't,
and I think that,
you know,
maybe it's not about you.
Oh, it's definitely
not about you.
Okay. Fuck.
I was just trying to help. I...
You know, I didn't ask for help,
especially from you.
- What is going on?
- Nothing.
Uh, okay.
Why don't we just go upstairs?
Come on.
No, we... We're fine.
We like each other, okay?
No, we don't, actually.
And to be honest,
I liked whoever she was fucking
while you were gone.

this is weird, and it's...

No, it's obviously not.
So... I mean, but...
I mean, we kind of talked
about this before, right?
When... on the phone with...
I mean, just...
Well, you said
that we were on a break.
- I know.
- And you said
that you didn't want me
to wait for you, and...
- I know.
- Right and then you said
that if... you know,
you didn't want to know
about it if it happened.
That's still true.
They didn't mean anything.
There was more than one?
No. "They," singular.
- How many times?
- No.
You just said that you didn't
want to know about it,
so now this feels like a trap.
You're right. You're right.
I don't want to know about it.
I, um...
Look, you didn't

You didn't, really. I just...

I didn't do anything wrong.
- You just said that.
- Okay, I...
I... I know
this is a "me" problem.
I know I brought this on myself
but, um, I need a second,

Is everything okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nothing urgent.
Okay. Well, you've got this.

Yeah. Of course.

Thank you. Thank you.
I want to thank you all
for being here to bear witness
to a body of work
by Marcus Allen wood.
He was a painter
of quiet brilliance.
We had a...
a personal connection
that went far beyond
the art world.
I'm sure
many of you have questions
as to why you haven't seen
his work before,
why... why it hasn't reached
this kind of stage before.
Well, besides the obvious,
the institutional racism
that limits and punishes
all Black artists,
the fact is that
Marcus always
put his family first.
He made extraordinary,
consistent work,
but he didn't isolate himself
from his family
or his community to do it.
He described his marriage
as a work of art.
He talked about his family being
his greatest accomplishment.
I think he understood
what so many of us struggle to,
and that is:
Our time here is limited.
He reminds me not
to waste another second.
So,
I am raising my glass
to the wonderful work
that fills these rooms.
And I thank you for being here.
It means the world to me.
Cheers.
This might sound trite, but...
Oh, I can be into trite.
I just...
I had a great time tonight.
I-I don't know what
I was expecting, but it...
it wasn't this.
Really? Hmm.
- Okay.
- Mm.
- You're beautiful.
- Thank you.
You have such
a magnetism about you.
You're successful, you're...
Have you ever done an intensive
with the Executive
Success Program?
I think it would be truly
transformative for you.
Really. I...
Everything that's happening
- for me right now...
- Mm-hmm.
- The successes.
- Mm-hmm.
- I can attribute to that.
- Mm.
- The community there.
- Mm-hmm.
- There's nothing like it. Yeah.
- Yeah.

I know I need to tell my mom.
And I'm sorry I embarrassed you.
Thanks.
The thing is...
I'm sorry, too.
Oh.
Really?
Yeah. It's just been
really intense,
and I feel like
I fucked up everything.

to Toronto.
No. I know. Of course you do.

- It's like a pattern.
- Doing what thing again?
I...
You're not the only one
- with a career.
- No. Okay, I...
I wasn't implying that.
- That's not what I was... Okay.

You okay?
Um, no. No, I'm not okay.
I, um...
I just asked her to stay,
and-and she thought I was asking
her to give up her life for me.
And-and I guess...
I guess
in a way, I was doing that.
- And I just...
- Okay, just take a deep breath.
- Just breathe.
- It's just that we were

No, you didn't.
You didn't fuck it up.
Oh, no, I did.
