The Real L Word (2010–2012): Season 3, Episode 4 - Scissor Sisters - full transcript

Previously on The Real L Word...

I don't know why you have to
be such a bitch all the time.

I'm not a bitch. You're a fucking
self-entitled little asshole.

I feel frustrated because when
I play a good show with Somer,

it feels so good.

But when we have to put up
with some of her bullshit,

it just seems like
maybe it's not worth it.

Dude, I can't just call
you whenever I want.

I'm in a van with people.

What do you fucking want from me?

I'm still trying to call you after
I'm pushing all this shit across town.



[Crying]

Cori went into preterm labor.

So Charlie came way early.
She couldn't survive.

It's so hard to think about the future.

[Sniffles] I'm just so stuck here now.

[Crying] It's not fair.

Amanda and I are finally alone,

so I'm excited at the prospect

of having a fun hook-up situation.

Hey, I'm homesick.

- Homesick?
- Yeah.

I still have feelings
for my ex-girlfriend,

and if Lauren knew,
she'd definitely kill me.

I have an idea.



- Let's take a trip to New York.
- Really?

I feel a little better.

How long do I go just
taking what I can get?

And I don't think that
he gets how unhappy I am.

I think he thinks I'm fine.
"She's great. We have great sex."

"She's fine." You know what I mean?

No, I'm not happy.

[Moaning]

- [Gasps]
- [Laughs]

- Baby, will you marry me?
- Yes.

[Laughter] Oh, my God.

- What is that?
- What do you think it is?

Are you kidding?

It's not necessarily what
you envision in your head

your parent's reaction being.

I think right now I'm starting
to feel a little nervous.

What are you gonna say?

What do you mean? I don't know.

And are you gonna tell them, like...

what are you gonna say?

And are you gonna tell them in Portuguese?

[Laughs] Yeah.

And tell me the words,
so I can recognize them.

- [Laughs]
- What are they?

Um, Whitney... [speaking Portuguese]

What does that mean?

"Whitney asked me to marry her."

And I'm gonna say, "and then I said no."

We're getting ready to go to San Jose

to tell my parents that
I am newly engaged, and...

- You're engaged?
- I'm nervous.

I'm feeling overwhelmed, a little scared,

but I'm also very excited to tell them.

I'm gonna ask them in Portuguese.

- [Laughs]
- Tell me. What is it?

Well, you can't ask them.
You already asked me.

- Oh, I'm gonna tell them.

What is it?

My family is super traditional,

and by traditional, I mean, you know,

my parents were born on an island

off the coast of Portugal.

There aren't a lot of people
on the island, for one,

and they didn't know a lot of gay people,

or they've never seen a gay wedding.

You know, it's mostly that it's
not a social norm for my family.

They've never been around that.

I can't with this outfit.
I'm not feeling confident.

You look... then change
your shoes if it's a problem.

And I need to feel confident
of... I think it's my pants.

No, I love your pants.

There's nothing wrong with your pants.

[Sighs] I think it's my shirt.

I mean, no.

I feel like I wanna,
like, look presentable.

You look like a 15-year-old
little skater boy.

[Laughs] Oh, my God.

- It's cute.
- No, that's not cute.

Well, I think it is cute.
I meant that in a cute way.

You look hot.

I wanna do a 15-year-old skater boy.

Oh, my God.

I'm starting to have a little
bit of nerves kicking in.

Like, Sara's parents are very traditional.

And weddings are huge in
the Portuguese community.

I mean, you know, it's an all-out thing.

And now Sara's having a
wedding, and who is she marrying?

A woman.

This guy right here.

Hey!

You look like someone I wanna marry.

Yeah, I better.

You do. You are.

Do you have your ring?

It's on my finger.

[Cat purring]

Cori and I have gotten used to
just being here with each other.

It's been, uh, pretty difficult...

damn near impossible to leave the house.

[Sighs]

Hi, buddy.

[Cat purring]

Our lives have just stopped and have
shattered, and we're just so broken.

I just wanna crawl in a
hole and pretend that...

this isn't my life.

We are both...

brokenhearted and sad,

and we are there together,

sitting there in the pit of hell.

And I wouldn't... I wouldn't...

I wouldn't want to be there
with anybody else but her.

So are you excited?

I'm thrilled. We have
the best week planned.

I'm excited to be here.

I think it will be pretty fun
'cause we have so much to do...

Work, play, seeing friends.

- I can't wait to take a shower.
- Me too.

I'm wearing no makeup,
and I feel like a troll.

[Grunts]

I'm so homesick. I really miss New York.

So Lauren and I planned a little
trip to the city for a couple days.

A good friend of mine was like,

"okay, stay at my house,"

and it's just nice to be back in Brooklyn.

[Grunts]

And there goes the floor mat.

[Laughs] There goes the neighborhood.

We're here.

And we're gonna destroy everything.

[Collar jingles] Hi, pup.

I wonder what his name is.

Hi, what's your name?

What is your... ow! [Laughs]

He's a biter.

It kinda smells like dog pee everywhere.

Ugh.

Even in the bathroom.

All right. You're showering first, yeah?

Yes. [Water running]

Ew, this is such a boy's...

ew, the toilet seat was sticky.

Oh, my God. I'm gonna freak out.

I'm sorry it's so gross. [Laughs]

All right, I'm showering really quick.

When Amanda and I both lived
in New York at the same time,

we were wifed up.

We had long-term relationships.

So this is our first time really
actually out in New York single,

and I'm excited to go
out and have fun with her.

I gotta go.

Okay, how long are you gonna be gone?

Like an hour.

I just... I'm just, like,
running some errands.

You're ready to go,
like, once you get back?

Yeah. I'll see you in a little bit.

Okay, I'll see you in a little bit.

[Door shuts]

[Upbeat rock music]

♪ ♪

South by Southwest was awesome.

We did a really good job.

We busted our asses,

but there were some altercations.

For every show that
Somer sounded really good,

there was another show that
was a complete catastrophe.

Yay!

[Van door opens]

New York soil.

All right. So let's get your scheiße.

This is yours too, right?

Yeah, both those little bags.

Awesome.

- Ooh, smells like fucking fish.
- Fish?

- Smells like New York.
- Ugh. Whoo.

[Laughs]

[Knock on door]

[Dog barking] Shh. Hello?

- Baby?
- [Laughing] Yay!

Hello, hey.

Everyone's in the
hallway with all my shit.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- What's up?
- Missed you.

- All right, we're outta here.
- Bye, guys.

- Have fun.
- See you Tuesday.

Thanks for helping.

All: Bye.

Bye. Thanks for bringing
her back in one piece.

[Laughs] Hi. Mm.

How you doing? You tired?

Yeah. We drove all night.

You look really, really good for someone

who's been on the road
and driving all night.

Thanks, baby. Hi. [Dog snorting]

- Hey.
- Missed you.

Oh, my God, I missed you so much.

It felt like forever.

Two weeks without Donna is a long time.

It's very psychologically
and emotionally exhausting.

All I could think about was just being
at home with her and cuddling in bed.

And she's always there for
me to bounce ideas off of

and give me a good perspective,

and those are all things that
I really felt like I craved

while I was on the road,

especially when things weren't going well.

I only have, like, an hour...

[Dog whines] before I have to go.

I missed you.

I don't want you to go for, like,

months at a time, you know.

I don't know if I'd be able to handle it.

Well, we have to have,
like, a whole conversation

about touring and the band

and everything that happened and...

Because... I don't know. It was...

it was... it seemed like
a long time away from you

for two weeks, and on top of it,

it was like, you know,

I got in that big fight
with Kiyomi, and...

I don't know. I just
think we have a lotta stuff

to, like, talk about
between you and me, you know?

You know, Kiyomi and I never had a
conversation after we had a fight,

and we both sort of went for the
jugular and were very vicious,

and we never sat down
afterward and said, "hey,"

like, "I'm sorry I said
this. I'm sorry I said that."

So even though we went on
to play some great shows,

I'm not really sure where
I stand with the band.

It's just a lot of personalities
trying to get along.

There's no barriers. There's
no politeness that you...

that you have with a friend.

It's just all out there.

You're just, like, naked
and bloody and, like...

you know what I mean?

So the day-to-day of it
is really, really, hard,

to get to that, like,
45 minutes of pure joy

when we're playing together.

I'm sorry I dumped all that on you.

I just... it's... it's been on my mind,

driving and thinking about it all the time

and being like, "what's
the right answer?" You know?

I am feeling a bit uneasy
but excited to see my family

and nervous to tell them the
news about the engagement.

I'm feeling just so unsure
of what is going to happen.

- Cheers.
- It's so good, the summer.

- The weather?
- The weather.

Oh, yeah, it's beautiful.

I couldn't get wine
into my body fast enough.

My nerves were a little bit on edge.

[Laughs]

Ah.

[Speaking Portuguese]

I hope it's something good.

[Speaking Portuguese]

You're gonna move back?

We're gonna move back home? No.

[Laughs]

You move back, Sara?

- [Speaking Portuguese]

- Tell them, babe.
- [Laughing hysterically]

Tell them. Oh, my...

I am just kind of panicking.

It's like, I know what I want to say,

and it just won't come out of my mouth.

And so it's just, uh,
"ka-ka-ka," you know.

I'm nervous. [Speaking Portuguese]

- [Speaking portuguese]
- Oh, my God.

[Laughs]

[Chuckles]

[Awkward laughter]

- Do you guys love me?
- Yes.

I love you very much, Sara. Um...

- What?
- I'm, uh...

- Sad?
- Well, old-fashioned still.

What do you think? What does that mean?

Oh, I don't know.

This is a big surprise for me.

It's not... it's not easy.

I'm sorry, I don't know
why I'm saying that,

but it's not easy.

[Sobs]

[Speaking Portuguese]

I mean, you're always so...

Mom.

[Speaking Portuguese]

No, no, no problem.

Oh, mom.

So yeah, I'm not 100%
well versed on Portuguese,

but I'm pretty well versed on the
look of shock and dismay and tears.

That's a dead giveaway.

She's not 100% happy about this.

[Sniffles and chuckles] No, that...

Uh, she got me, uh, surprised, very.

- That's why.
- I'm not surprised.

You're not surprised? No?

I love my daughter,

and I will do everything
for her to be happy.

And we really like Whitney,

and she's a very nice person.

[Speaking Portuguese]

I love you, mom. I love you too.

[Both speaking Portuguese]

Yeah, I'm happy, Sara. Oh, come here.

I love you.

I never believe in gay marry.

I thought marry is for woman and a man.

Plus it's not only me.

Really I don't believe my
family is going to the wedding.

They all love me very much.

Very much. Very close family.

But I don't think they
do that even for me.

[Sniffles]

I'm just not prepared. That's it.

I love you, mom.

I love you too, [Speaks Portuguese].

Don't be sad.

I love you.

I love you, [Speaks
portuguese]. I love you too.

But as time goes by and
more time and more time,

I'm kind of like, "all right,

It's been three hours,

and she said she'd be gone for one.

You've reached Amanda. Leave your message,

I just feel like... I don't know.

I don't think that you really...

I don't feel like you really love me.

And I feel like I... have been, like,

giving way more of myself to you

and feeling like you're still...

there's still something that's, like,

not allowing you to give yourself to me.

I can't do, like, settling

I don't want you to feel like that.

I do feel like that
though, and I feel like

when you're ready to give

it's gonna be awesome, but it's not me.

How do you feel? I mean...

I think that's stupid.

We've been dating, you know what I mean,

we've known each other for a while, Jay,

I'm looking across,

"you're not in a place to be

And I have somebody who loves me so much.

I have Kelsey, who knows
everything about me,

and she loves me.

I don't think that I can continue,

if I have any self-worth, to, like,

give myself to somebody
who doesn't deserve me.

I want you to fight for me
sometimes, and you don't.

So I just... I'm gonna go and let
you do you and me do me, and...

I don't wanna feel sad
all the time, you know.

Well, I just want you to be happy, Rom.

And if I'm not making you happy, then...

Then that's it.

Okay. I'm gonna go.

Okay.

Amanda was supposed to
meet me four hours ago.

I'm sitting here in this bar,

getting more pissed and more pissed.

I'm just mad because she lied.

She's like, "I'm gonna run some errands,"

and I'm fairly sure she
went to see an ex-girlfriend.

[Line trilling]

- Lauren?
- Hello?

Look, I'll call you
back in a minute, okay?

No. I'll be there in, like...

No, no, no. You said you're on your way.

- Yeah, I'm coming.
- Whatever.

I don't come to Brooklyn that
often, but I'm in Brooklyn.

I'm gonna make the best
of it. I'm gonna have fun.

Like, literally, screw
Amanda. I'm gonna do my thing.

[Indistinct chatter]

Such a gentleman.

Just a gentleman.

Not here. Where's your girlfriend?

- I'm Sherry, by the way.
- Hi. Lauren.

- What's your name?
- Lauren.

- Lauren.
- Nice to meet you.

I figured since we're
in the same vicinity,

I might as well introduce myself.

- Yeah, of course.
- Say, "what's up?"

- Nice to meet you.
- Everyone calls me Swits.

- Swits?
- Swits, yeah.

Okay.

Swits, this chick with a headband

and a really slicked-back ponytail

just walks right straight
up and starts talking to me.

She thinks she's got game.

I'm trying to play
basketball this weekend.

You wanna come be my cheerleader?

We'll see. Let me know.

You can text me details. We'll see.

Oh, are you asking for my number?

No.

In order for me to text you,

you gotta have my number. It's okay.

- Where's your phone?
- Wow.

Swits has no chance now
of ever hooking up with me.

But anything, honestly, at this point,

is better than sitting
in the stinky apartment.

[Hip-hop music]

[Singing in spanish]

Sorry.

Yeah, you're sorry.

I haven't been here, and I just, like,

wanted to see some of my friends.

You didn't... you didn't have to lie.

- I didn't lie.
- Yeah, you did.

Don't lie. You lied.

Okay, well, I wanted to see some people.

You didn't have to lie, Amanda.

I'm your friend.

[Snickers]

Lauren was so pissed when
I showed up late to the bar

'cause she kept texting me and calling me,

like, "where are you? Where
are you? Where are you?"

And I'm like, "I'll be there soon."

Like, I don't need to be, like,

be at the bar ordering my glass of wine

at 11:00 on the dot, so it's like,

"all right, do your thing.
I'll be there in a bit."

I've been here without
you the entire night.

It's fucking midnight. Honestly, not okay.

Okay, I'm sorry.

I can't help wanting to see people.

You're so about you. It's
you, you, you, you, you.

I couldn't help it. I'm sorry.

- You're what?
- I couldn't help it. I'm sorry.

I sat here by myself, what, since...

I don't know.

I don't know. It's midnight now.

I didn't mean to,

and also the time in the
car is an hour behind,

so I thought that it was
10:00, and it was 11:00.

- Fuck off.
- No, I'm serious.

No, I swear to God.

I swear.

Come on. Like, I hate this about women.

Like, God knows I love women,

but I hate this about them.

It's like they just never let anything go.

And sometimes I feel like
Lauren's, like, my wife.

'Cause it was so disgusting-smelling

that I had to leave and
walk the streets of...

No, it's not funny...

without you.

Not knowing where the fuck I was.

Okay, I'm... I'm sorry.

Genuinely sorry, okay?

My phone died, and then I put
it back in the car to charge,

and then I left it in there.

And I'm sorry, okay?

Yeah, whatever.

I'm not stupid.

Making excuses just
makes the situation worse.

- Hi, how are you?
- Good, how are you?

How can I help you?

I just wanted to try on some dresses.

If I could try the ones
with straps, without straps.

Do you have dresses by Watters?

Yeah, sure. This one, look.

Oh, yeah, I like this one.
I do wanna try this one.

- You don't like this one?
- Yeah, I like that one.

Can I write down the style of the dress?

That's Watters & Watters,
and it actually has a name.

The name of the dress is Vanessa.

- Oh, Vanessa?
- [Speaking Portuguese]

It's going to be fine.

Okay.

I don't know, I think
Whitney likes strapless, huh?

- I really like this a lot.
- You really like this one?

Yeah.

I wish I could ask Whitney. I'm like...

- Too much flowers, Sara.
- This one?

It's tough, you know.

I want my mom to be happy for me.

I saw her happy for my
sister when she got married,

so it's like, I know the difference.

You know, I saw the way that she
was before in the same situation.

It's gorgeous, huh? And
I love this in the waist.

It's pretty, isn't it?

Beautiful dress, but I...

You're gonna have a
wedding without a man, no?

Just no husband.

I don't think my parents ever thought

that I was going to be gay.

As a child, you know, I was very feminine.

I wore dresses. I played with dolls.

So it's a very hard thing
to accept or to understand.

Okay, let's go show them.

I think it looks really pretty.

No?

I like the back on the other one.

The way that I came out to my
mom was I wrote her a letter

and hoped for the best after she read it.

[Chuckles]

I was in cosmetology school, and my mom,

she was bringing me to school,

and when she dropped me off at school,

I left the letter on the seat.

In the letter, it said, you
know, "this is my best friend",

"but I'm also in love with her.

And this is not a phase.
This is a real thing."

You know, "I'm gay."

And so, when I called her, she told me,

"what letter? There was no letter there."

And I said, "mom, yes, there was."

I know for a fact that
the letter was there."

And I know she read the entire thing

and just had nothing to say.

And then after I broke into
tears and started crying,

I said, "mom, what I wrote in that letter"

is really important to me. I
need you to acknowledge it."

And she said, "whatever it says",

"I never want you to repeat it again.

I don't want to hear about it.

I don't believe it, and I don't want you

to ever even think about telling
your dad 'cause you'll kill him."

So that was really
heartbreaking, you know,

because it was like
completely cutting off me,

you know, expressing who it is that I am.

This one is the one you
like the most for now?

I think so, yeah. I love the back.

Yeah, the back is beautiful.

It is so cute.

- What are we gonna say?

"Thank you so much. You made an impossible

Leaving the house has
been really difficult,

but it's time.

I just... it's just time
to rip the band-aid off.

So today we're gonna go see the nurses.

These are the women that
were incredible to us

when we were in the hospital
going through the hard times.

Here, right?

Hi.

Hi.

Oh. [Laughs]

Do you guys remember us?

- Yes.
- [Laughing]

[Crying] Oh, my gosh.

Hi. Hi.

You ready for me?

I really thought I was gonna
be able to keep it together.

Don't cry. Don't cry.

Hi.

Oh, my God, I am so glad to see you.

Hello.

It's good to see them.

They played a really
important role in one of the...

the biggest moments in our life.

I need a minute. [Laughs]

That's okay. Take a minute. That's fine.

That's fine.

It was just... it was so horrible,

and you guys were just so incredible.

It just felt like I was being
taken care of by friends, you know?

- Oh, thank you.
- I'm glad.

And we talk about you guys and how much

just that little bit
easier you helped make it.

Every time we think of her,
we also think of you guys.

So thank you.

These are just a very small gesture,

but you will never know what
you did for us both days.

- That means the world to us.
- Yeah.

You're so welcome. It
validates what we do.

I don't know how you do it.
We were talking about it.

Like, I don't know how you do it.

It's nice to be able to say thank you,

but it's definitely bittersweet.

I think I thought that being
here and seeing them again

would somehow give me
some sort of closure,

but I've... I have to
just reconcile in my head

that it will never be closed.

Something will always be missing.

Someone.

In all the events or
things that I've seen here,

I never saw a couple
bond the way you guys did.

Definitely.

And the way you bonded
with Charlie for as long,

um, I will never forget that.

You know, that's... that's what love is.

That's... there's nothing
more beautiful than that.

You know, so I'll... uh, thank you.

- Hang. Hang in there.
- I know, I know.

Hang in there. We're doing okay.

All right. Okay.

- You're good?
- Yeah.

- You guys are amazing.
- Yeah.

- I'm glad you guys were here.
- Yeah.

- You guys were just...
- I know, ridiculous.

Okay, I need more hugs. Okay.

[Laughter] Thank you.

- You're so welcome.
- Thank you, thank you.

Seeing the nurses that
were there was important.

The nurses said that they
were just doing their job,

but it was an incredible job.

And I can never thank them enough.

I could send them flowers every
day for the rest of my life,

and it will never, ever say thank you

for just the human-ness
that they brought.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, thank you.

- You're very welcome.
- God bless.

We'll see you again.

Both: Yes.

[Laughs] Oh, my God.

Cheers.

- How's L.A., ladies?
- It's good.

It's just hard to be, like, that far away.

At least you guys have friends out there.

That's always good.

Yeah, we have, like, a
really good group of friends.

I love my friends out there.

So Lauren and I have put
our argument behind us,

and we are having brunch with my brother.

You guys look lot alike.

- She's the girl version of me.
- Uh-huh.

Yeah.

It's really funny.
We're 10 1/2 months apart.

Your mom was like, "bam, bam, bam."

Seriously. Like...

She's like, "baby, bam, baby."

I am crazy about my brother.

I love him so much. We're so close.

And everybody says that
we're the splitting image

of each other, and it's weird.

We have the same mannerisms

and have the same sense of humor,

and I'm... I love him.

What made you, like, want
to come out, basically?

My brother and I stole
Playboys from my dad

and, like, porns and stuff.

I used to do the same
thing with my grandfather.

- Yeah, like...
- It's hysterical.

That's what I used to
masturbate to was Playboys.

And I didn't know I was gay.

[Laughs]

Did you try hooking up with guys at all?

Like, I've hooked up with a lot of guys.

I made sure that I, like, knew.

I made sure... I made sure
I knew what I didn't want.

I knew I didn't like dick.

It took me a little while
to come out to my parents.

I don't know. It was really hard.

It was almost like, I had these feelings,

and I didn't know what to do with them.

When I was, like, in the hospital

- for, like, my eating disorder...
- Yeah.

And I was, like, 16, it was just like,

I knew that, like, something was off,

but they basically were like...

you know, they say that,
like, it's a control thing.

Like, you feel like you can't control

your thoughts and, like, all that stuff,

so you, like, feel like, you know,

you have to control something else.

And you, you know, to be able to control

what goes in and out of your body,

like, you know, it's like...

anorexia is, like, a disease.

Like, it's really fucked up.

Yeah, that was a really rough time.

I was 16.

I very much had, like, an
issue with the fact that, like,

these feelings of, like, being gay

were just, like, coming out of nowhere.

And I didn't know what to do with them.

Like, "why am I attracted
to my girl friend"

"when everybody else is, like, you know,

putting Abercrombie
posters on their walls?

Why do I have Britney
Spears all over my wall?"

But I think that once I became comfortable

and once I, like, came out to them,

it was just more of, like,
a relief than anything.

The good thing about it though

is it makes you a stronger person though.

- Yeah.
- Like, all bullshit aside.

You're, like, admitting
to the rest of the world

that you're completely
different than everybody else.

Yeah.

So when are you officially coming home?

I don't know.

No idea.

Did you tell him you're coming home?

What?

He's like, "when are you coming home?"

We're, like, going back and forth,

but nobody knows, like, what's going on.

"So when are you moving back to New York?"

Like it was a done deal. Like
it was a straight question.

Like they had talked about it.

So that completely surprised me.

But then I thought, "well,
maybe I'm being lied to again."

Stop being paranoid.

He's like, "when are
you coming back home?"

Like, "what's the date?"

Why would I not ask you about that?

No, I mean, like, are you
coming home next month, or...

- I mean, no.
- [Laughs]

I'm super conflicted about what to do

as far as moving back to New York or not.

Before I moved to L.A., I
very much had a girlfriend

that I loved and I still love.

And I didn't know...

if I was ready for it or, you know,

what, you know, I wanted to do.

So I freaked out, ran out to L.A.,

and now I regret it a little bit.

It's hard.

It's like, Lauren is my best friend,

but, like, I also need to, like, do me.

Thanks so much for coming to see me.

Yeah. I gotta come out
to L.A. and visit you.

- I know.
- I'm telling you.

I gotta get out in the sun.

I love you.

All right, I love you too, hon.

- Okay?
- Yeah, come see me.

- Make sure you call mom.
- I will.

Tell her how you're doing too. Okay?

Bye. So nice to meet you.

- All right.
- You're such a sweetheart.

Aw, I had fun. I'm
gonna try to get a beer.

- I love you. Bye.

She's getting us a notebook,
so we can start our plans.

Mom, why do you have this kitchen... oh.

Thanks, mother.

I really do need help with this wedding.

I've never done this before,

so we don't even know where to start.

It's like, where do you even begin?

What do you get first?
What do you order first?

What do you do? We don't know anything.

Okay, so we need... this
is going to be location.

Which we don't have. We
don't have a location.

Which means we can't
write anything else down.

I mean, yeah, we need a venue first

because it's just gonna
be like, "where is it?"

I don't know. Mystery location, T.B.D."

Well, we have ideas.

We know for sure that we
want it to be outdoors.

[Gasps] It's so cold outside.

- Mom. Hi.
- Are you still drinking?

- A little bit.
- To warm up.

So how's the things?

Well, this is what we've planned so far.

- Let me get my glasses, okay?
- Okay, mom.

The most important part we've
determined is the location.

It's gonna be outdoors. [Laughs]

But don't you call before to come here?

You know already a
couple of places, or no?

- Yeah.
- Um...

We have to figure it
out still. We don't know.

But we will know by the end of the week,

and you'll be the first to know.

And then we have a lot more blank pages.

Yeah, I can see that.

Okay, next week.

Luckily for me,

my mother is the
Portuguese Martha Stewart.

She cannot help herself but to
want to help us plan this wedding.

She, like, caters for weddings.

She does wedding
planning, like decorations.

You know, so she can kind of focus
on details instead of the main thing,

which is us getting married.

The place is number one.

'Cause if we don't have the
place, we don't have anything.

If you don't have the place,
you don't need the dress.

And yeah, exactly. [Laughter]

The food. The food for sure.

Okay, second.

- Tables.
- Tables.

- Napkins, all that stuff.
- Napkins, everything.

And then the bar.

Okay, four.

Do you like me to do a
table with the sweets?

I don't want you to work that hard, mom.

Oh, that's okay.

You can put a check. This one is done.

Oh, done. God, we're practically there.

I think my mom is...

I think she's happy. I... I do.

I think she thinks that
she shouldn't be happy,

and I think she's battling with that,

but it's a journey for her as well,

that I think she needs to grow from it.

You know, ultimately, I
think it's a good thing.

You call those... you
do this ten things, Sara?

Yeah.

And any question, you can call me.

- And make...
- At this number.

[Laughs] And make sure when I call you,

- you answer the phone.
- Okay, I love you.

- Okay, don't let me...
- I love you, mom.

Huh?

- Wanna eat?

I'm going to dinner with Kelsey,

and we are going to just kind of
touch base with where we're at.

- Hi, Romi.
- Hi, baby.

[Laughing]

And things have gotten closer,

and we should probably figure out

what the hell we're doing.

What am I gonna do with you?

Love me?

- Love me, love me?
- I never stop.

As long as Romi's in my
life, it would be hard for me

to move on and be with anyone else.

I love her,

and me and her always have this chemistry.

It's undeniable.

Well, here's the thing.

Like, I want you to figure it all out.

Kelsey, I love Jay.

We're not supposed to be together...

and I know that.

And I'm the one who ended
it, you know what I mean?

He didn't end it with
me, I ended it with him.

Like, when you text me,

- "he's not the one."
- Exactly.

"Whether you like it or not,
you're gonna be back with me."

Like, I just get, like, "oh, my God",

like, this girl's, like, in love with me

"and, like, persistent
and doesn't give up."

And that's, like... I love you for that.

While I was with Jay,
I didn't talk to Kelsey.

But she was texting me that she loved me,

and that we would work it out,

and that we were gonna,
like, get through this.

And so it's like, here
we are, back together.

It worked.

I wanna be with you.

I do. I don't want to do this anymore.

Like, why aren't we together? It's stupid.

That's what I said.

Why are we running
into each other in clubs

crying and shaking like babies?

It's stupid.

[Murmurs] It is stupid.

That's stupid.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

Right?

I was very confused with Jay.

Kelsey always loves me,
and she's always there.

And I want to feel that love.

She brings a comfort to my
life that I need right now.

I don't want to break up anymore.

I don't... I wanna be done.

I wanna just fight, not break up.

I don't even wanna fight.

- But let's fight it out and not break up.
- Yes.

And next time I break up with you,

this is what I want you to do: Say no.

Say no?

And when we break up, and we will again...

[Laughs] Wait, wait,
wait. Shut your mouth.

Don't sleep with all those girls
'cause then they come at me.

Like, "oh, I slept with your girl."

And I wanna punch them.

You better keep it in your damn pants.

- I'm horny.
- You're horny?

You're always horny. [Laughs]

I wanna make love to you.

So you guys are moving in?

Yeah.

- Oh, yeah.
- Oh.

You know overall,

I think the trip to
San Jose went very well.

I think we got the band-aid
ripped off we needed to,

and... and you know, I
think that a lot of dialogue

was opened up that hadn't been before.

And I think Sara's mom is definitely
on a path to coming around.

You know, has she completely accepted it

and is completely comfortable with it?

I wouldn't go that far, but
she's on... on her way there.

We only have a few more days here though,

- All right.

You can hang out. I need to sleep.

[Laughs]

You're, like, always leaving.

Just hang out, power
through it, drink some more.

No.

I know that girl. You know what?

I know that girl. She's
in a really bad band.

A really bad band? Oh, my God.

I met Hunter Valentine a couple times

through one my friends
in... in Williamsburg.

They showed me their music,

I just really didn't think much of it.

But, yeah, I mean, they're cool I guess.

[Laughs]

- They're all in a band?
- Yeah.

I think they're kind of cute.

Hey. Hey, how's it going?

What up? This is Lauren.

- Hey, Lauren, how's it going?
- Come sit.

Let's not shout from across the room.

Kiyomi. [Laughs]

What's going on? What's your name?

- Kiyomi.
- Lauren, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

- Uh, how are you doing?
- I'm so hung over, I wanna die.

Where'd you guys go?
- We went to...

- Miller Bar.
- Oh, really?

How's the band?

- It's cool.
- It's a band.

What's your band called?

Hunter Valentine.

We just came back from tour yesterday.

You moved to L.A. a month ago?

- Yeah.
- How do you like it?

I like it. We just got botoxed.

[Laughs] We just got botoxed.

You got Botox already and you've
only been in L.A. for a month?

[Laughter]

So we're literally, like, in the place

getting Botox, and Lauren
was, like, "oh, yeah."

We're getting little scissors
tattooed on our fingers."

And she's like, "oh, for
what?" And we're like,

"scissor sisters." She's
like, "what's that?"

And she's like, "you know, scissoring."

And then she goes, "oh,
really?" Lauren's going,

"have you ever done it?"

She was like, "no," and she
was like, "you should try it.

You'd really like it." [Laughs]

I was, like, "way to make
our fucking Botox lady

uncomfortable/turned on."

- She loved it. She loved it.
- Mm-hmm.

I'd scissor her.

- [Laughs]
- Ew.

I'm just kidding.

Awkward?
- I don't... I don't like it.

- I don't know.
- What, I love it.

I don't...
- It's, like, my favorite.

I think it's so awkward.

So I sit down with Lauren and Amanda.

And my first impression is
that Lauren is pretty hot.

But it seems like Lauren and
Amanda probably hooked up before.

- Do people always think that you're dating?
- Mm.

We have never been single since
we've met each other till now.

- Oh, great. Wait, so you're both single right now.
- Yeah.

- So this could be that moment...
- You're not dating anyone?

You don't have anything going on?

No, like, I have, like, sort
of someone that I talk to.

- But we've been very, like...
- Talked to.

[Laughter]

My first impression of Lauren
is she's absolutely gorgeous,

and I'm gonna start drinking a lot

to probably get rid of the nerves.

[Sighs] I don't know,

maybe I'll try to make
a move or something.

All right, I'm tired. I'm gonna go nap.

What do you want to do?

I'm gonna hang out with these girls.

Yeah.

She's like, "I'm inviting myself

- to hang out with them."
- We got nothing.

- All right.
- All right. Love you.

Love you, stalk you,
always gonna talk to you.

If Amanda wants to leave
again, that's fine with me.

I'm having fun with these
girls. A couple of them are cute.

I'm gonna hang out and have some fun.

- Hello?

- Hi.

Kelsey's living at home right now.

She moved back to home
after we broke up last time.

So Kelsey is moving in.

I don't really think she had a choice.

I don't need someone's parents telling me

when I can hang out with
my girlfriend or not.

I'm an adult.

Do we need to get stuff out of your car?

- Are kidding me?
- Do I have to help you?

I hate the wind.

Baby, walk.

Ow! Honey.

Ow! That hurts my hand.

Come on. Hold on.

Let go.
- Ow. Just pull up...

- Pull up the back, babe.
- You're acting crazy.

Because we can slide it in this way.

You got to bring it in this way first.

Oh, my God.

Now go to your left.

No, Kelsey, put it down.

- I told you it would fit.
- Yeah, it fits.

Can you believe it's a year later, babe?

You're back here.

My plan worked.

I know, but it feels
different, doesn't it?

Yeah. Hopefully.

Yeah, we went through a lot this year.

You seem like a different person to me.

Because I'm sober, and I'm older.

And I'm classier.

And sexier.

Well, you're sober.

A year ago, you were like,
"I wanna party, and... "

- I need to party, Romi.
- "It's okay if I don't have... "

- You're lame. I need to party.
- "I don't have to drink."

You went fucking girls gone wild on me.

- [Laughs]
- Shit.

[Laughs] And I was, like,

little straight girl, only
for us to come right back here.

Going to straight clubs with
your wonderful boyfriend.

Uh-huh.

Fool, please, I would
rather be in a straight club

with my boyfriend than at every gay club

- every night with every woman.
- Okay.

Like a certain somebody I know.

So why aren't you with your boyfriend now?

- [Laughs]
- Asshole.

I'll fuck you up.

You'd rather be with your boyfriend?

Than in the gay clubs with all
those fucking thirsty whores.

You had to go through it.

You had to figure it out for yourself.

Yeah, and you figured
it out that you being

with that douche bag guy you were with...

- Don't call him a douche bag.
- Is not what you want.

Oh, sorry. You love him.

Oh, my God, Kelsey Grace.

I can call him whatever the hell I want.

Baby.

I don't want to hear about
Romi and Jay's relationship.

It's hard being with
somebody who's bisexual.

Like, really bisexual.

I mean, if the girl wants dick,

that's not something I can give her.

- Hey, look at me.
- What?

We're not fighting the
first day you move in.

I'm happy you're here.
We're here, we're queer.

Well, some of us are queer.

Are you just gonna be bitter about it?

Bitter?

Of course I'm bitter
about you being with Jay.

What are you talking about?

Why are we even talking about this?

She's very sensitive about Jay.

And to try and come back to each other

after, like, such an intense year

where a lot of stuff happened
is, you know, difficult

'cause it's like, do
I want to be reminded?

Does she want to be reminded?

No, it's not healthy.

So there's a lot of
healing to go on right now.

And there's a lot of
forgiveness and there's a lot of

just forgetting.

Okay.

Uh, I'm seeing this girl. [Laughter]

We're not really monogamous,
but it's kind of a PR...

So no one here's monogamous right now.

- She's like a girl...
- Yeah, they fight all the time.

- They fight every...
- It's kind of awesome.

That's exactly why I'm not
in a relationship right now.

But the whole thing is me too. [Laughter]

As long you're honest and you
know what the situation is,

no one can get hurt.

And if someone is starting
to get hurt or starting

to care, then you have to
deal with that on that level.

That's what I'm dealing
with right now too.

Okay. High five right here.

- So the girl...
- See it, done it.

[Laughter]

Laura and Kiyomi are
sitting right next to Lauren,

and they're totally engaged.

And I'm like, "hey, guys",

I'm... I'm here, you know."

And once Lauren went
to go to the bathroom,

it was kind of like, "who's
gonna get Lauren?" You know?

And it was quite entertaining for me

because I was like, "well, I wonder

who's gonna end up with her."

- So both of you...
- I don't care.

Both of you think that she's your type.

No. [Laughter]

I'm saying I would but I...

I don't want to invest any
sort of... any sort of time.

So Kiyomi and I both like Lauren.

Kiyomi's definitely one of those girls

that has a lot of swagger
and gets a lot of attention.

And I'm not one of those
people that are like,

"yeah, that girl's
gonna be mine," you know.

Why are we even talking about this?

So what about you?

If you want to fuck the girl, go ahead.

No, no, I think she...

I think she probably
likes you more than me.

Kiyomi, I think... I think
you guys are gonna hook up.

- Oh, my God.
- I'm calling it right now

that you guys are gonna hook up.

I think you guys have
a better chance at it.

Dude!

But I'm not saying that I couldn't,

and I don't think that I couldn't get her.

It's just that I don't... I don't...

like, I have to really work it, you know?

- I don't have her looks, right?
- Oh, my God!

I'm fucking out of here!
This is fucking ridiculous!

I definitely think that Lauren is hot,

but I need to leave and
go meet Ali right now

'cause I promised her
that I would meet her.

And on top of this, Laura
is attracted to Lauren,

and it just seems like a messy situation,

and I need to get out of here.

I need to call the girl that I'm dating.

Fuck you guys! I need to stay focused.

Well, both of you started
talking about how cute she is.

Yeah, I got to call Ali.

Shh!

- Where are they?
- Um...

She just ran away.

She's scared of you now.

I find you attractive, and so does Kiyomi.

Mm.

And so I think that, um,
we were trying to figure...

like, we're best friends,

so we don't wanna...

and you're checking your phone.

So I'm not sure if that's nervous

or you're not interested in either.

- Um, but...
- I'm not saying anything.

Hello? Where's everyone?

- Hi, baby.
- Hey, what's up?

You're gonna go there now?

I think so, yeah. What are you doing?

I'm gonna see what the rest
of these guys want to do,

and then, um, I'll text
you when I'm on my way.

All right, so what time are
you gonna head down there?

I'm gonna leave in, like, ten minutes.

I'll text you when I'm leaving.

- Okay.
- Bye, babe.

Bye.

- Oh, my God, Kiyomi.
- Oh, my God.

- What is that?
- Tequila.

Thank you.

I was trying to figure
out whether you'd be

Tequila or whiskey. I'm
Tequila, I'm Tequila.

- And I decided it was Tequila.
- You got it.

[Laughs] To Lauren.

I know that I'm supposed to go meet Ali,

but for some reason, I
just can't, and I... I'm...

I don't want to leave this girl.

- So are you, like...
- No, no, but like...

No, sometimes though. Yeah.

This way.

Kiyomi's used to getting what she wants,

so... I guess I'm just
going to have to bow down

and let her take her.

What's the person that you're seeing in...

Yeah, I'm not seeing her.

It's just like a friends with benefits.

You just said, "I'm seeing her."

No, I... it's hard to explain.

How do... how do you
explain that... oh, my God.

[Laughter] What the hell?

Wait, what is she doing?

Shouldn't tape that to my fucking shirt.

[Laughter]

Put your act up, please. Let's go.

I... I walk outside. Laura is naked.

People act up so many different ways.

And if you wanted to impress Lauren,

this is not a way to impress her.

Oh, my God. What the hell?

Did you... oh, wait, wait. What bra?

Oh, my... [Laughter]

Oh, my God.

They're taking pictures
of you, these guys.

- Come here.
- Can I take a picture with you?

Yeah.

I'll take a picture, I'll
take a picture together.

[Car honks]

I mean, I don't really
know what's happening.

[Laughter]

You mother is going to
be so upset with you.

- No, she won't.
- Yes, she will.

- And you are...
- My mother knows me.

She'll learn. Hi.

- What's going on?
- Hi.

I never expected for my day to end

with my best friend walking around topless

in the streets of Brooklyn.

But when you have a
best friend like Laura,

you really never know
what's gonna happen... ever.

[Car honks]

- Come on!
- Come up!

We're walking.

We're gonna get you some food, honey.

[Laughter]

Why? Why?
