Previously on "The Real
Housewives of New York City"...

Sonja and I are doing a show
together.

Oh, that's so nice.

We had this rehearsal today.
Did you forget?

- What's actually going on?
- No, what it is...

'Cause we don't have an invite
or anything.

It's a presentation,
which is gonna be next Tuesday.

Well, I'm not here.
I'm having this taken out.

I don't have movement
in my hand.

Mom's been telling me
on the phone,



like, "I don't like Leah."

That doesn't mean
I don't love you,

I don't care about you.
On a day, I might not like you.

I think my mom wants to say
a couple words.

We are very, very, very proud
of you.

- So, Leah, we love you.
- Thank you, Mom.

For the drag queen party,

am I supposed to dress
like a drag queen?

Yeah, dress like a drag queen.

I'm throwing
a drag queen Bingo party

because I love to raise money
for the LGBTQ.

- So drag...
- Wave your freak flag, I said.

- I want a man.
- Sure.

But I don't need one, and I'm
really comfortable with myself.



I can't really afford
to live here.

It's just too much house
for one person.

I'm looking to redo
the whole house

because that is what
renters want.

I don't care what you have
to say.

- Oh, really, I'm...
- You are invisible.

- You're invisible.
- You know what? I'm invisible?

I'm actually not even talking
to you.

Oh, really?

I've forgiven you because I
love you more than the minutia.

- But I am... I...
- I love who you are, too,

but I don't like it
when you're... ing angry.

She gets defensive
instead of listening.

It's not healthy behavior.

You know what?
Get off your phone.

- I'm reminding you.
- I wasn't on the phone, Luann.

Don't be Miss Etiquette with me.

Dorinda, there's no reason
to raise your voice.

Even at her own birthday,

Dorinda can't get through
without snapping at someone.

Stay out of it.

Coco, I wanna take a picture

in front of the tree.

Coco, come back.

Coco! Coco!

I actually did some
great Christmas cards

of Avery, me, and Mario.

We had one that everyone loved
and they framed.

It looked so good.

But those days are gone!

Leah was the first to RSVP
with a couple of drag queens.

The other girls, they open it,
and they look at it,

but they don't RSVP.

You know you're coming, bitch,
so just say yes.

- What?

What?! You got your operation!

Well, my thing is coming up...
Drag queen Bingo.

Really?

Eh! Weave.

- Aah!

Do it without those. Ready?
Come on.

Heroes are made.
They're not bought.

So let's make a hero.

Jab cross. Jab cross.

You know how you make a hero?

You get Italian bread,

Hi.

Looking for the studio
recording with Desmond Child.

- That'll be right to your left.
- Okay.

[ singsongy ] Hello!

Hey, Desmond.

Don't you look warm
and cozy and delicious.

- Viva La Diva.
- Viva La Diva.

- [ laughs ]
- Yes.

I met Desmond Child,
who's written

"Livin' La Vida Loca"
and "Livin' on a Prayer."

We hit it off.
We have friends in common,

and we decided to work together,
and he told me he had

the perfect match for me, which
is a song called "Viva La Diva,"

and I was like, I love that.

It's just perfect.

Just amazing lyrics
by Carole Bayer Sager...

- I know.
- ...and Jay Landers.

- The biggest songwriters ever.
- Ever.

- You... You keep good company.
- You got the Barbra team.

You got... I... Amazing.
You keep good company.

The three of us worked
on Barbra's last record.

He's talking about
the Barbra Streisand.

Barbra.

I'm just so lucky
that we kinda clicked,

and... and we're working together.

Let's do this. Track one.

We'll go line by line.

No, let's try to do one and then
see where we stand, okay?

- Okay, cool.
- Here we go.

If you want the truth,
and nothing but the truth,

someone's
gotta set you straight.

I told you money
doesn't buy you class,

but a diva has needs.

See these?
They didn't grow on trees.

You gotta make it on your own.
I'm talking to you.

- Okay.
- [ laughs ]

- What a hoot.
- [ laughs ] I love it.

So, but, like, be a little
more... bit more coy,

like, really get your whole
personality going here on this.

When you go, "I told you
money doesn't buy you class."

Class.

But go, like, deep
in your chest on that.

- Make it sound sexy.
- Okay.

Uh...

Uh... Uh...

- Money doesn't buy you class.
- That's it.

Okay.

If anybody can say "class,"
it's me.

[ laughs ]

Here we go.

Louder on two.

I told you money doesn't
buy you class,

but a diva has needs.

See these?
They didn't grow on trees.

Perfect. That was so good.

- [ laughs ] Good. Awesome.
- I think we got this.

The song is about the diva
that lives in all of us.

I wanted to see it.

Well, you're not gonna really
see it all. Hello! Ohh.

I can't believe
how big it looks.

This just needs to be
a classic, clean, efficient,

New York apartment.

Oh, you kept your light sh...
Your lampshade.

- Oh, that's going.
- Oh, is it?

Yeah, yeah.
We're just doing that for now.

That's going, because... Hi!

- How are you?
- How's it going?

- Oh, don't...
- How are you feeling?

- Sore.
- Oh.

So basically I had a bible bump
on my hand.

I had it taken out,
and it was quite invasive.

Do you know when
they took it out,

it was like this big?

And it had all these legs on it
like an octopus?

Can you believe this is your
second renovation this year?

What's coming next?

I know. Can you... I mean, I've
broken a... Let's think about it.

- You have broke... No, no.
- Yeah.

- She broke her ribs.
- Flooded... No flood, flood.

- Oh, flooded.
- Flood. Broke my rib.

Gutted this place.
We started off...

Nik... I was like, Nik, I just
want a little bit of facelift.

- Sure.
- Yeah, and you ended up

doing everything.

Let's see what you did.
Get a new floor?

- Everything.
- Oh, wow.

This is gonna be ripped out
next week.

- This is gonna look great.
- We're going for it.

I came in one day.
I'm like, "Rip it out!"

Get it done!

This little renovation
in my old apartment

that turned
into this huge renovation...

It's sort of, like,
representative of my life.

I should've washed away all
of what's been bothering me.

You know I love a tub.

It's like a small swimming pool.

Now I can just start the new
year off just unburdened.

Now I can really start
thinking about what are

good things for the future
for me?

- So now...
- So when do you think...

You think I'm gonna end up
living here?

- I think I'll stay...
- I think you'll move back.

What do you think
you'll end up doing?

I don't know.
I'll be honest with you.

I don't know.
I'll tell you this.

- The only thing I'm gonna say...
- Be careful leaning on that.

...is after this year,
I've realized one thing.

Lean on the corner there.

I'm scared you're gonna fly
through a window.

Well, no, you would, and I'd be
really living with it forever,

so just... just sit
against the wall.

You know, I had to go
through some murky water,

but I feel like
I'm in clear water now.

The waters are calming.

[ exhales deeply ]

I think 2020's gonna be
a good year for me, don't you?

Yeah. Maybe you'll go
on a cheeky date.

Somewhere. I don't know where.

I was thinking about that.

I've gotta start saying yes
to all these dinner parties.

You know, I just have to
start going, 'cause...

You need to get back
on that horse.

I feel like there's a lot
of me and mine

and what I'm gonna do next
in this next step.

Like, I deserve it.

I'm a good person,
Dorinda Medley,

and I've fought hard
to get here,

and you know what?
I feel good about it.

- Do you want me to...
- Oh, look at this.

That's from Richard.
Is that a coin?

Oh, please tell me it's a coin.

- No, it's like a metal circle.
- Aw.

That's too bad.
Richard leaves me coins when

he wants to wish me good luck.
I told you that, right?

Yeah. I think you said that,
yeah.

Aw, that was
gonna make me happy.

What do you think it means
that he left me

a coin with no face on it?
I'm going broke?

- [ laughs ]
- That's what it means.

- I'm going broke.
- [ laughs ]

Coming up...

- No. I'm not doing that sh...
- Oh, come on, come on.

Sorry. [bleep] you.

Oh, my God!

[bleep] that sh...

So Ramona's coming because
I need her to help me.

She just did a whole apartment.

She's light as a feather now,

having moved out
of the family apartment,

so I wanna be in the same boat
as Ramona.

Ooh!

Out with the old,
in with the new.

And it's fabulous. Wow.

I did have a very nice painting,
and it's gone now.

- Sonja-rita.
- Hi!

Oh, my God! Come on in now.

Is it old with the old,
in with the new?

- It's my friend friend stalks.
- Yeah, look, look, look!

[ laughs ] It's not fancy,
but it's clean and new.

Oh, my...

[ gasps ]

- Then I got this carpet.
- Fabulous.

- Just simple.
- No, I love it.

When you mentioned I should
put this on the market,

okay, I talked to my daughter,
and she agreed...

You sunk some big money
in here, girl.

At this point,
this house is nothing more

than a financial drain,
an emotional drain.

All this carpet will be white.

I know. I love it.

I wanna be footloose,
fancy-free.

I have worked so hard
to get to this point.

I don't wanna be house-heavy.

- Did you track it?
- Ooh, I love it.

This is
the most important floor.

Sonja, I love this room.
I love it.

It's different now, right?

Yeah, I love it.
Oh, my God, I love it.

There's nothing... I'm not...

There's nothing I think
you should change.

I reupholstered
the heirloom furniture.

Oh! I love this chaise.

Now that my daughter
is in college,

I certainly don't need
all this house for one person.

Bathroom's great.

This place is ready to be
taken on by a new family

and make it their own.

Sonja, I'm proud of you.

No, I really am,
because I know how hard it is.

You know, you are even more
attached to this townhouse

than I was attached
to my apartment,

and I didn't even realize how
attached I was to my apartment

until I-I was closing on it.

Well, it's your badge of honor
that you accomplished this...

- And all...
- ...and bought this.

No, I never really looked
at it like that.

- No?
- I looked at it more of, like,

this is where my daughter
brings all her friends,

and it was like,
stability for her...

- I understand.
- ...during the divorce.

- It was home.
- But once she got to college,

it wasn't like boarding school
where people would come

and stay like that.
It's different.

Live your life
in the moment now. Don't...

L.L.... "Living Life."
That's my new mantra.

- "Living Life."
- L.L.

We're gonna L.L., girl.
You're gonna get rid of this,

and we're gonna be L.L.

We're gonna be all
over the world together.

Well, that's the thing, yes.

I'm ready now for my place,
just for me.

A little garden,
maybe a fireplace.

That's about it,

and my big bathtub
and a 4-poster bed.

I love the carpet.
Can I copy this for my bedroom?

- I like it.
- Oh, my God. Lie down

and take a picture.
Your shirt matches this.

- Look at this rug.
- Oh, my God.

Actually... Oh, yeah,
I do like that.

Butt looks good.
But put your arms over your head

like you did, yeah.
[ camera shutter clicking ]

Very cute. Now can we
see your face, too?

- Oh, yeah.
- Seductive.

So cold.

Well, this should be fun, right?

Are you excited?

It's not the first
gingerbread house you've made.

Hi! How are you?

Come take any position you want.

Okay. Thank you.

Well, welcome. I am Abby,
as in Abigail's Kitchen.

And one of our favorite festive
things to do around the holidays

is to decorate
gingerbread houses.

I'm going into the holidays
feeling like I just have so much

to be grateful for.

I feel... I feel tired.

- Kiki.
- Yeah?

How excited are you for Jamaica?

- I'm very excited.
- Oh, my God, me, too.

It should be fun.
It's a good time

for you and your mother
to go away alone.

- I know.
- 'Cause she's been so busy.

Yeah, it's really fun.

Yeah, she's trying to get me
to do that. I... kind of...

Exactly.
I kind of refuse to do it.

- [ laughs ]
- I'm scared.

I have a good suggestion
for the two of you, though.

What?

I don't know if you wanna
hear it.

No, I do wanna hear it.

Oh, I know what
you're gonna say.

- What?
- What is it?

- No phone.
- Might be a good idea.

Yeah, maybe I'll take a little
detox from social media.

That would be a nice thing,
right?

I really do appreciate my mom
looking out for Kier and me.

No matter how tumultuous
my relationship is

with Bunny at times,

family is
the most important thing to me,

and I don't take that
for granted.

Kiki, I wish you would come
to, like, the Mob party,

just for an hour.

- But it already happened.
- First one.

Well, you missed
Grandma's speech.

Oscar-worthy.

- Oh, stop it.
- It was, Mom.

It was really good.

[ amplified voice ] Thank God
Leah followed her dream

because I certainly
couldn't have given her

any inspiration about this.

- Congratulations.
[ cheers and applause ]

I feel like we're in a much
better place than we were

a few months ago.

I know you're not happy with
every single decision I make,

but at the end of the day
you still have to

understand me and support me
even if you don't agree

with every single decision
I make.

And I do. How do I not?
Like, what do I say?

Well, you told me
to go to hell the other day.

And what did you tell me first?

I am gonna work on being
a little more mature

when it comes to dealing
with my mom.

Lookit, I did a mom
and a daughter.

- That's cute.
- Yeah.

[ laughs ]

There's more change that's gonna
come from little baby steps

than trying to make
these huge changes.

So I am working on that.

- Well, this was fun.
- Yeah.

You're... Honestly,
I'm pretty impressed

with your gingerbread houses.

Yours came out fine.
Yeah, it came out fine.

It looks really good, actually.

she's hard on herself?
- 'Cause of you?

- Of course. [ laughs ]

But Dorinda's not coming

- Okay, she gets a pass.
- Absolutely.

Obviously.
Ramona just told Luann today

that she's not showing up.

You wait and tell her on the day
of her performance

that you can't come?

Why didn't you do it when
she sent the invite out?

That's bullsh...

I haven't been around a while,
but it does seem that

these ladies are sick
of cabaret.

Welcome, my friends,
to "Marry, F, Kill."

I was inspired to do
"Marry, F, Kill"

because I do a Q&A
with the audience,

and I always get asked who I
would marry, F, or kill.

So how you doing, Luann?

I'm doing great.
It's all-new material,

and it's really based on sex
and relationships,

all of those fun things that,
um, I never really talk about.

- Thank you.
- Oh, see, do have...

Do you have any
new year's resolutions?

Um, you know, my track record
at that time of year

isn't really that great. - Oh.

So you know,
this holiday season,

I thought, you know,
I'd try not to get married,

divorced, or arrested.

[ gong resonates ]

[ laughter ] - Boring!

- [ cheering ]
- [ laughs ]

I really feel this
"Marry, [bleep], Kill" thing

is Luann's idea of how
to refresh the cabaret.

I just got back from a trip
with my girlfriends in Mexico.

- [ cheering ]
- Yeah!

And I didn't fall into one bush!

- [ laughs ]
- [ laughs ]

The material's getting old.

Just saying.

I gotta tell you guys,
I've got a problem.

Every time I go out,
somebody asks me

if I'm gonna get married again,

and every time I go out,
I see Harry Dubin,

and he asks me if
I'm gonna get married again.

If Harry Dubin asks me
one more time

if I'm gonna get married again,
I'm gonna have to kill him.

No, Lu, don't kill Harry!

Oh, come on, Sonja.
I was just joking.

I have a solution
to your problem.

Okay, Sonja-rita.

Myself, I'm impromptu, so I
don't have to have a shtick.

Come on up here, Sonja.
Everybody...

[ cheers and applause ]
- The Sonja Morgan.

[ cheering continues ]

I just... have new stuff
all the time.

We're gonna play a little game.
It's called "Marry, F, Kill."

Who you gonna marry,
who you gonna F,

and who you gonna kill?
- Kill, kill, kill.

Wait. Dorinda...

Ramona... or Tinsley?

- I'm gonna kill Ramona.
- Yeah. That was easy.

Then who do I have?
Dorinda and who?

Dorinda, and, uh, Tinsley.

Oh, Tinsley's un-[bleep]-able,
so...

[ laughter ]

Maybe I'll marry her
after her first divorce...

[ audience groans and laughs ]

Second divorce,
which has some, uh...

Oh, sh... [ laughs ]

And then that leaves me
having sex with Dorinda,

who may be a sleeper hit
in the bed.

Oh! [ laughs ]

"Marry, [bleep], Kill"
is nothing new either.

Some of us have... ed everybody.

So... the list gets short.

I love you guys. Thank you
so much for coming tonight

You've been a great audience.

I thought it was great.
I thought it was a treat,

getting to see Sonja and Luann

so I don't know why
Ramona wouldn't wanna come.

All right,
let's open some champagne.

Did you like it?
Wasn't that fun?

You know what?
I'm happy Ramona's not here,

without being judged for it!

Well, it is "Marry, F, Kill,"
so...

You guys are doing it

No, I'm very self-conscious

Why don't we?

I put every project
that I'm working on

on the front burner.

Now I can tackle a lot of
the things that I let pile up,

mainly my health.

Need to take care of myself now.

Listen, honestly, I like doing

different things every week.
- Okay.

Because if I do the same thing
every week...

- I get bored!
- ...I get very bored,

so I have this... this, um, app
called Mindbody app.

Classes are available any day,
any time.

- No.
- Yes.

I have it on my phone right now.
Look.

What do you do?

You can literally search
for anything.

So I see what's available.

So we just pick what day
we wanna go,

and we see what classes
are going on,

and then we do it. That's it.
- Oh, my...

What day do you wanna go?

Let's go after drag queen Bingo.

- So let's go Thursday.
- Okay.

So for now,
I'm booking both of us

for Thursday, okay? - Okay.

We're going no matter
how hungover we are

from drag queen Bingo.
- Oh, yeah.

Even if we have glitter
all over us still, we're going.

- No, I commit, and I show up.
- All right.

- Done.
- Okay, good. So we'll do that.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- Yay! It'll be good.
- I'm excited.

I have red lipstick on,
so I can't really touch you.

I really have come to love Sonja

She's just a free, artist soul

- Toast.

- To Luann and Sonja.
- No. Hold on.

- A toast...

You guys have

How are you?

My hair's as tall as you.
How are you? You look so good.

This party is about me
raising money for GLAAD,

which is one

Lobster, anyone?

- Oh, my God.
- It's real good, though.

It is really good.

Ah. It's lovely.

If you're a female bartender,
you're wearing something sexy.

I think the men should do
the same thing,

like not wear a shirt...
if they have six-pack.

I mean, you're doing heels,

a straight, handsome man.

Ron's funny. He likes to flirt.
He'll flirt with Leah,

flirt with Sonja. I mean,
I'm not interested in him.

He's just a guy friend.

Ramona calls me. She goes,
"What's drag queen Bingo?

I'm not doing that sh..."

I thought you were a gay friend.

We... We made out, like,
six years ago at Beautique.

- Six years ago at Beautique?
- Yeah.

- Oh, so you maybe you were...
- That makes sense.

Well, you did say I made out
with random men at Beautique,

and I said I didn't,

so maybe you were right. - Yeah.

I mean, I'm delighted to see
Ron. At least he wasn't missing.

You're supportive, Ramona.
You wouldn't come last night.

He was seated
between you and me.

You didn't tell me
you weren't coming. Luann...

I didn't get your invitation
till Friday.

- You knew about it in Mexico.
- No, I did not.

You missed a great show.

No, you were terrible
not coming. Warm champagne.

And did she steal any
of your jokes, or did you

go with your old jokes?
- Ah, I was... Okay.

It was like, "Harry, Dick
or Sam or Paul."

- Harry wasn't even there.
- No, that... that joke?

- Oh, yeah, we used that joke.
- That's a good...

Oh, yeah, that was her joke,

- I've been with Harry...
- I wrote it.

- No, I wrote that.
- Yeah, no, I wrote that.

No, I wrote it.

I've been saying it
for 10 years.

- Sonja wrote that joke.
- You stole that joke.

- No, I wrote it.
- It's okay. You can have it.

You can have the dick, too.

Well, as for Ramona, though,
I really don't know...

Wow, Le... Lu...
I think of how happy she is.

She didn't even tell me
she wasn't coming last night.

I know! I told her.

I mean, that's rude.

See, look. I didn't see it.
It just said, "Hey, girls.

Happy birthday. Uh, hope...
I know she can't make it."

That's all I saw and s...
That's all I saw.

I never touch that.
I didn't know.

Well, that's the attachment,
the invitation.

The heading didn't say, "See
my... come to my cabaret show."

- I always show up for you.
- I know you do.

But I'm just giving you
business advice.

When you want someone to come,
on the header, you say,

"Please come to my show."

Well, my business advice...
Open the attachment. How's that?

That's my business advice
to you.

No, I don't have time
to open attachments.

- Open the attachment.
- I don't have time

to open attachments.

Luann didn't tell me
till last minute.

I'm doing a cabaret thing.

Can you come?"

I have a commitment already.

- Leah, you're so quiet.
- Who, me?

Yeah, what's going on?

- Well, you know...
- Need some tequila?

- No, she's, uh...

She's doing...
I'm not doing recall.

I know a little bit about Ron.

I know that he gets horny
at 2 in the afternoon.

You made out with my friend
last night.

You made out with her friend
last night.

- I don't even know.
- He doesn't remember.

I even have a text message
that she sent me

that you were gonna [bleep]

- That's what you said.
- She does?

[ laughter ] - Oh!

Are you and Ramona on a date
right now?

No. She's my friend.
I never even kissed her.

Swear to God. I swear.

Well, there's always tonight.

- It's platonic?
- Super platonic.

I can tell
that he's the kind of guy

that probably wants to bang
25-year-olds.

Let's be honest here,
but I think Ramona likes

just straight male energy,
and he definitely has that.

You brought a statement there

'cause you're
in a statement hat.

- I did.
- The hat...

- It's great for your face.
- Gorgeous.

- Thank you.
- I want that hat.

Wait.
You guys are just platonic?

- Yeah.
- Why?

Because he's, you know...

Why not? [ laughs ]

- Oh, yeah.
- I'm sure you do. [ laughs ]

You don't understand
what she did here.

What did she do?

She was looking
for the green light.

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- No, you wanna go out with her.

Don't flatter yourself.
Are you crazy?!

- You know...
- I actually love being single.

Listen, there's nothing wrong
with being single,

but it's still...
People need... I have friends.

- Friends with benefits?
- Yeah.

- No, no, no, no.
- Oh, God.

No, don't say that to Ramona.
Oh, my God!

- Don't talk about that. Aah!
- It's good.

She acts like this with you?
The second I say anything...

- No. Because I will not...
- She's like, "Oh! Oh!

Because I will
never talk to her like that.

You're at your prime right now.

- I know.
- I can make you shine.

Okay. Thank you.

- Cheers. [ glasses clink ]

Disgusting.

We're gonna get started
in just a little bit.

- Thank you so much.
- I, uh...

Oh, we're actually
playing Bingo? Cool.

I guess so.

Yes, it's quite a... It's a leap.

[ laughs ]

Uh, before we start the games,
the number one message is

tonight is benefiting
the LGBTQ+ community.

[ cheers and applause ]

And I wanted to just say
I don't know why

you bring a straight guy
to an LGBTQ...

You... Okay, it did not say
on the invitation "gay only."

It says, "Bring your best friend
drag queen."

No, it just says... Okay, listen.

You said, "I'm not doing
that sh..."

Open your attachments!

You brought the same old people

that you always bring!
- [ laughs ]

These are my best friends,
like you!

I said, "Don't bring
your boring friends.

I'm not bringing mine."
- They're not boring.

- I love them.
- Yes, they are.

Oh, my God.

You ran out of Leah's party. You
ran out of Leah's party, too.

I'm good. I'm looking... Hold on.

- It's all good.
- Ramona, Ramona...

- Did she just say I'm boring?
- Aah! [ laughs ]

It says, "Wave your freak flag."

Don't blame me for something
that's not true.

Shh! Let her continue
her speech, Ramona.

This is terrible,
but you know what?

I've learned to have a specific,
permanent smile on my face

so it's not a disaster.

All right, here we go.
Once you get five in a row,

you're gonna get Bingo, and then
we are going to move on.

- I'm gonna win.
- You don't wanna sit down?

Shh! It's very serious. Stop.

Our first blue ball
of the night... [ chuckles ]

Shout out to ya. It's G52.

- Yes! Yes!
- You got it!

- Yes!
- Wonderful.

- Unfortunately...
- I am winning!

...she does not have Bingo,

but I do appreciate
your enthusiasm.

Here we go, G58.

- Yes!
- What?!

Yes! Keep it moving!

Obviously, when Dorinda's
not doing Dorobics,

she's at the Elks Lodge
playing Bingo,

because she is so competitive.

- All right, G60.
- Yes!

Don't say, "Yes"
until you get one.

I'm getting close, Sonja.

Part of winning is winning
in your mind first.

Is anybody close? Are you close?

- I'm close.
- Oh! I like 69!

- Are you!
- Oh, sh...!

Ramona! You messed up her card!

- Oh, oh. It's all right.
- She messed up Dorinda's card.

- She sucks.
- I wanted 69.

No, but I know that's
your favorite number.

You've got your mind
in the gutter about 69 and sex?

Like, literally 10 minutes ago,
I said "friends with benefits,"

and that was disgusting to her.

This is about the community.

It's not about you
and your vajayjay.

Oh, my Lord.

I just like the way "69" looks.

It's you have the 6 this way,
and the 9 the other way.

It's very graphically pretty.

All right, B14, B14.

Don't say 69.
Ramona will lose her... shiz.

B14.

- Such a ripoff.
- You got a Bingo?

- [ guests shouting ]
- Cheater!

I want a callback
of your numbers.

You want a callback.

I need a drink.

Dorinda, this is just Bingo.
You can lighten up here.

I'm in a medical state.
I need to be medicated.

Okay, we saved the best
for last.

I've met a lot of drag queens,

but I've never seen one
with legs as long as Lu's.

She has a new hit called
"Viva La Diva."

- "Viva"?
- "Viva La Diva."

Oh, she said "Diva."

And she's gonna share it
with you tonight.

- Here you go.
- Is that the introduction?

[ cheers and applause ]

Okay, that's better.
That's better.

Hi, everybody. Well, it's nice
to be here with everybody,

first of all, and celebrate
the holidays together,

and to be supportive of GLAAD
and the LGBT community.

All you queens are looking
fabulous tonight,

what can I say? - [ cheering ]

I had the... the luck
and the honor

to work with Desmond Child,
"Livin' on a Prayer," Bon Jovi,

he's worked with Cher,

of the studio

This is just a preview
for you guys, so...

So we're still...
We're still working on it.
