PREVIOUSLY ON THE L WORD...
MY ORDERS CAME DOWN.
MY UNIT'S BEING MOBILIZED
BACK TO IRAQ.
I'M LEAVING IN TWO WEEKS.
SWEENEY. WE'RE ALSO--
YOU'RE NOT ON THE ACCOUNT ANYMORE.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WE HAD TO REPLACE YOU.
MEGAN TOOK OVER.
HEY, ALICE. IT'S MAX.
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU COULD AFFORD TO PAY ME
IF I WORKED FOR YOU FULL-TIME?
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE DRIFTING APART.
IS THERE SOMEBODY ELSE?
IT'S NOT ABOUT HER.
BIRTHDAY GIRL!
[SPEAKING QUIETLY]
I'M SO FUCKED UP.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
I'VE GOT TO GO TO A MEETING TOMORROW.
WOULD YOU TAKE ME
TOMORROW, PLEASE?
[SNIFFLES]
IS IT TRUE THAT ONE OF THE CHARACTERS
IN THIS BOOK IS BASED ON YOU?
DID THIS UPSET JODI?
IS THAT WHY SHE'S LEAVING?
WHO SAID JODI'S LEAVING?
SHE'S BEEN CHOSEN TO CREATE A NEW SCULPTURE
AT THE FOREST REFUGE ART CENTER
IN MOUNTAINVILLE, NEW YORK.
I'M SITTING HERE WITH JENNY'S LITTLE FUCKING TOME.
WELL, YOU SAID IT WAS FLUFF.
I HADN'T READ THE WHOLE BOOK.
NOW I'LL HAVE TO FIRE JENNY.
SHE DESERVES TO BE FIRED.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS?
SHE'S ON AN AIRPLANE.
SHE'S ON HER WAY TO NEW YORK.

HI, THE MEDIUM TRIPLE SOY CAPPUCCINO
WITH THREE PUMPS OF VANILLA IS MINE.
THE MONEY'S RIGHT HERE.
JENNY.
I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU.
I JUST, UM... NO.
THERE'S SOMETHING HERE THAT I WANT YOU TO READ.
I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW.
MM-MM.YOU WHAT?
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, OKAY?
NO, I CAN'T.
I'M GOING TO PICK UP MY NEW PUPPY.
BUT I'LL SEE YOU AT THE MEETING THIS AFTERNOON.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THE MEETING,
IT'S, UH... IT'S BEEN CANCELED.
WHY?
LORENZO, THE SENIOR V.P., HE WENT ON LOCATION.
WHAT?
I JUST FOUND OUT THIS MORNING.
WHAT A FUCKING ASSHOLE.
I KNOW. IT'S HOLLYWOOD.
I HATE THIS FUCKING HOLLYWOOD BULLSHIT.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PUPPY.
IT'S A POMERANIAN.
OH, HOW CUTE.
I KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE SO MINI AND CUTE.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
HAVE A REALLY NICE DAY, TINA.
OKAY, YOU TOO.
BYE!
[**]
MOM! THEY HAVE THE NEW THE TOY MACHINE STICKERS!
THAT'S GREAT, HONEY.
[CLEARS THROAT]
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
NOTHING.
SETTING UP.
YEAH, WE WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING.
WELL, CAN I GET SOME STICKERS FOR MY BOARD?
YEAH, YEAH, IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY SAVED UP.
[EXHALING]
I CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE.
WHAT CAN'T YOU STAND?
HIM.
BUSTING IN ON US.
IT'S LIKE HE PURPOSEFULLY
GOES OUT OF HIS WAY
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T GET A MOMENT ALONE TOGETHER.
PAIGE, HE'S A KID.
HE CAN'T HELP IT.
WELL, IT BOTHERS ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU.
LOOK...
I LOVE...
I LOVE BEING WITH YOU
IN CARS
AND AT YOUR WORK,
BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE
TO FUCK YOU IN A BED.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO SLEEP WITH YOU,
AND THEN I'D LIKE TO WAKE UP WITH YOU.
WELL, THEN, UH, WE'LL TALK TO HIM.
OKAY?
OKAY.
WE'LL, UH...
WE'LL TALK TO HIM.
GET OUT OF THE CAR.
ALICE, GET OUT OF THE CAR, PLEASE!
ALICE!
WILL YOU STOP, ALICE?
ALICE!
ALICE. ALICE.
LISTEN TO ME. LISTEN TO ME.
PLEASE. ALL RIGHT?
I'M SORRY.
I KNOW HOW I HANDLED IT WAS FUCKED UP.
YEAH.
YEAH.TOLD YOU SOONER.
I REALLY WANT YOU TO COME TO MY GOING-AWAY PARTY.
WHO THE FUCK IS EVA TORRES?
IT'S PAPI.
ALICE!
WHAT?
OH, MY GOD.
ALICE...
CAN YOU STOP FOLLOWING ME?
ALICE.
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOUR ORDERS CAME DOWN,
YOUR UNIT'S BEEN WHATEVER THE FUCK, DEPLOYED...
I HAVE A BAG DRAG TOMORROW.
EXCELLENT.
THAT'S WHERE THE UNIT GATHERS AT THE BASE
AND WE SORT THROUGH ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT
TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR DEPLOYMENT,
AND THEN I HAVE TO
GET MY MOBILITY FOLDER IN ORDER.
OH, YEAH.
YOU CAN'T HAVE A DISORDERLY MOBILITY FOLDER.
MEANING I NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR
AND GET A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.
WHY DON'T YOU GO SEE MY DOCTOR?
SHE'LL SAY WHATEVER YOU NEED HER TO SAY.
SHE'LL SAY YOU HAVE-- I DON'T KNOW--
CRABS OR SCURVY
OR WHATEVER. ALICE, STOP.
THEY'LL REJECT YOU, YOU WON'T HAVE TO GO.
I'M NOT TRYING TO GET OUT OF IT.
WHAT?
I LEAVE ON MONDAY
FOR TWO WEEKS
OF PRE-DEPLOYMENT TRAINING.
IT'S FORT IRWIN IN THE MOJAVE.
FUCKING ARMPIT OF THE UNIVERSE,
WAY WORSE THAN IRAQ.
AND IF I SURVIVE THAT...
THEN WE SHIP OUT.
[GROANS]
ALICE, WAIT.
CAN YOU JUST GO?
ALICE, CAN'T YOU MAYBE JUST TRY TO UNDERSTAND
THAT THIS ISN'T SOME WHIM FOR ME?
I MADE A COMMITMENT!
I GET IT, TASHA.
I UNDERSTAND, OKAY?
JUST GO, JUST GO HONOR YOUR FUCKING COMMITMENT.
FUCK.
LOOK, NOT THAT I MIND HELPING,
YOU KNOW,
BUT, I MEAN, LIKE, WOW, RIGHT?
IF CATHERINE CAN AFFORD ALL THIS,
THEN SHE PROBABLY CAN AFFORD
SOMEONE TO MOVE HER STUFF FOR HER, YOU KNOW?
YEAH, I SUPPOSE SHE COULD,
BUT I'M HERE, AND I'M ABLE-BODIED,
AND IT'S NOT AS IF I WORK FOR A LIVING.
DID SHE SAY THAT SHIT TO YOU?
LOOK, PAPI...
CATHERINE AND I HAVE AN ARRANGEMENT.
ALL RIGHT? IT SUITS ME.
AND I'M GETTING REALLY TIRED OF EVERYBODY
SECOND-GUESSING ME ABOUT IT.
WHATEVER. IT'S YOUR LIFE.
LOOK. SHE LEFT YOU A MESSAGE.
"HELENA, DEAR.
"SEPARATE MY UNDERWEAR-- BIKINIS, THONGS, BRIEFS--
AND FOLD THEM BEFORE YOU PUT IT AWAY."
PAPI, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE
IF I HADN'T MET CATHERINE, ALL RIGHT?
I'M NOT CUT OUT TO LIVE MODESTLY.
AND SHE'S TEACHING ME A TRADE.
OH, YEAH, POKER.
THAT'S A GREAT TRADE.
AND IN THE MEANTIME,
SHE'S GIVING ME BOARD AND LODGINGS AND LUXURIES
AND TRAVEL AND ALL THE THINGS
I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.
AND THE SEX ISN'T BAD EITHER.
NOW YOU'RE TALKING, GIRL.
AND SHE'S BEING GENEROUS, RIGHT?
SHE'S LETTING US HAVE THE PARTY HERE.
YEAH, SHE'S GENEROUS.
AS LONG AS YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE GETTING YOURSELF INTO.
DID YOU EMAIL HER?
YES, OF COURSE I'VE EMAILED HER.
I MEAN, I EMAILED HER LIKE 10 TIMES,
AND I TOLD HER.
I TOLD HER, YOU KNOW, THAT I'M REALLY SORRY
THAT I DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR HER OPENING.
WHAT? YOU DIDN'T GO TO THE OPENING?
NO WONDER SHE'S NOT TALKING TO YOU.
NO, I MEAN, COME ON.
I TOLD YOU WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE DINNER PARTY.
REALLY, I MEAN... AND THEN...
THEN, AFTER SHE GETS THE COMMISSION
AND SHE DOESN'T TELL ME ABOUT IT?
COME ON, I HAVE A DEPARTMENT TO RUN.
BETTE.
WHAT?
COULD YOU BE ANY MORE SELF-SERVING
AND SELF-CENTERED?
WHAT? HOW IS THAT SELF-SERVING?
GIVE ME THAT.
WHAT?
JUST GIVE IT TO ME.
"DEAR... JODI."
"WHEN... I AM SCARED,
"I MICROMANAGE.
"WHEN I AM UNCERTAIN,
I OVER...STATE."
"AND WHEN I AM CHALLENGED..."
"I, UH, BELITTLE..."
"AND...
LASH OUT."
[SIGHING]
"AND WHEN I LOVE SOMEONE,
"I TRY
TO PUT HER IN A BOX."
SHOULD I SEND IT?
GO AHEAD.
OKAY. GO AHEAD.
OKAY. NO, GO AHEAD.
NOW YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW UP
WITH SOMETHING ROMANTIC.
I SENT HER FLOWERS.
FLOWERS? THAT'S GENERIC.
IS JODI GENERIC?
[SIGHING]
WELL, I DID HAVE THIS ONE REALLY CRAZY IDEA.
THERE'S THIS BUILDING ON SELMA IN HOLLY--
IN HOLLYWOOD...
OH.
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE TO GO.
YEAH, I HAVE TO SHOW KATE HER OFFICE.
WE SET UP A PRODUCTION OFFICE
FOR LEZ GIRLS.
SO YOU'RE BACK WITH WOMEN, THEN?
NO.
WE'RE JUST WORKING TOGETHER.
DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
THAT YOU'RE BACK WITH WOMEN?
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
IT'S JUST, LIKE...
I JUST WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY.
I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY, TOO.
HEY, KATE.
[CHUCKLING]: HEY.
ANYWAY, THANKS A MILLION FOR YOUR HELP.
CALL ME IF YOU, UM...
IF YOU NEED SOME...
YOU KNOW, ADVICE.
OKAY.
GOOD LUCK.
OKAY.
ANYWAY, BYE.
SEE YOU, KATE.
MM.
SO, HONEY, UM, SHANE AND I HAVE SOMETHING
THAT WE'VE BEEN WANTING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
UH...
OH, BOY.
SORRY, DID THAT GET YOU?
NO, NO, NO. OOPS, MY BAD.
NO, NO, NO, IT'S OKAY.
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?
YEAH. WHAT?
OKAY, WELL, YOU KNOW
THAT SHANE IS MY GIRLFRIEND...
YOU DO KNOW THAT?
YEAH. SO?
WELL, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT.
OKAY WITH US
BEING GIRLFRIENDS
AND SPENDING A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER
AND REALLY...
REALLY CARING ABOUT--
AW, MOM...
I ALREADY TOLD YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE A LEZ.
I ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU ARE,
BUT I DON'T WANT MY MOM
TO BE ONE.
CAN I TRY?
PLEASE.
JARED?
JARED.
SO YOU'RE NOT SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS?
YOU KNOW, MAN, I DON'T THINK
YOU'RE REALLY BEING VERY FAIR,
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
BECAUSE, YOUR MOM,
SHE'S A PRETTY WONDERFUL PERSON,
AND SHE LOVES YOU,
AND SHE LETS YOU BE WHO YOU ARE.
SO YOU DON'T WANT HER TO BE WHO SHE IS?
I MEAN, WHAT, WOULD YOU--
DO YOU NOT WANT SHAY AS A BROTHER?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I MEAN, WE COULD GET A HOUSE
AND WE COULD BE LIKE A FAMILY,
AND-- AND YOU AND SHAY COULD BE LIKE BROTHERS.
BUT SHAY DOESN'T LIVE WITH YOU ANYMORE.
I KNOW.
SO, UM, HERE IT IS.
FEEL FREE TO ADD ANY PERSONAL TOUCHES.
I KNOW IT'S NOT VERY ELEGANT.
WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY POSITIVELY SWANKY
COMPARED TO WHAT I'M USED TO.
I MEAN, ON PANDORA,
THE BATHROOM WAS MY PRODUCTION OFFICE.
WELL, IT'S ALL YOURS.
YEAH?
MM-HMM.
"DIRECTOR."
DID YOU TELL JENNY?
UH, NOT EXACTLY.
I WANT US TO TAKE THE STUDIO MEETING FIRST,
AND ONCE THEY'RE ON BOARD,
WE CAN TELL THEM WE NEED TO FIRE JENNY
AND BUY HER OUT OF HER CONTRACT.
IS SHE GOING TO BE AT THE MEETING?
NO, NO, NO, I TOLD HER IT WAS CANCELED.
I TOLD HER
THAT LORENZO WAS OUT OF TOWN.
[LAUGHS]
SO IS IT BETTE?
IS WHAT BETTE?
THE PERSON THAT YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR.
THE REASON YOU COULDN'T COME HOME WITH ME
THE OTHER NIGHT.
WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER.
IT WAS BETTE.
IT WAS.
SO WHY ARE YOU HELPING HER GET BACK TOGETHER WITH JODI?
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE I FEEL GUILTY
THAT I WANT HER BACK
LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER BREAKING UP.
I FUCKED UP.
IT WAS...
IT WAS FUCKING BLOODY. IT WAS BAD.
THAT'S WHAT BREAK-UPS ARE. THEY'RE FUCKING BLOODY.
I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPLICATE HER LIFE
JUST BECAUSE SHE'S MET SOMEONE ELSE.
AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT BETWEEN THEM?
I GUESS I'M WAITING TO SEE ABOUT THAT, TOO.
WELL, YOU KNOW,
GIRLS LIKE ME DON'T STAY
ON THE OPEN MARKET VERY LONG.
SO IF YOU WANT SOME OF THIS,
YOU'D BETTER GET IN THERE
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
[CHUCKLES]
[BETTE]: PHYLLIS, THIS IS JOYCE WISCHNIA,
A.K.A. "THE REAMER."
PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, PHYLLIS.
NICE TO MEET YOU, JOYCE.
I HATE TO ADMIT IT,
BUT I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH REAMERS.
IT'S A PRECISION TOOL, PHYLLIS.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A LESBIAN,
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET TO KNOW YOUR TOOL KIT.
TECHNICALLY, A TOOL FOR ENLARGING HOLES,
WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY THE ANALOGY I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN,
BUT ONE RARELY GETS TO CHOOSE ONE'S OWN ENDEARING EPITHET.
I KNOW.
MINE IS-- OH, BETTE, TELL HER.
WELL, PHYLLIS,
I HAVE ONLY HEARD YOU REFERRED TO AS "MA'AM."
[GIGGLING]
"HEADS WILL ROLL" KROLL.
I LOVE IT!
[PHYLLIS AND JOYCE LAUGHING]
ANYWAY, I KNOW THAT JOYCE
IS THE BEST LAWYER IN TOWN TO HELP YOU
WITH WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO THROUGH.
SHE GOT ME AND TINA THROUGH A HIDEOUS CUSTODY BATTLE.
HOW IS TINA,
BY THE WAY?
SHE'S BACK IN THE FOLD, ACTUALLY.
"BACK IN THE FOLD"?
DO WE HAVE TO BE SO ARCANE?
OF COURSE SHE IS.
PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THE TWO OF YOU
ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER.
NO, SHE'S MET SOMEONE ELSE.
AND SO HAS BETTE.
OH, REALLY? WELL, GOOD FOR YOU.
BUT SHE'S BLOWING IT.
SHE LET HER GO.
WORSE, SHE DROVE HER AWAY.
YOU WERE SO THRILLING TOGETHER.
YOU WERE PERFECT FOR ONE ANOTHER.
JODI'S A BRILLIANT ARTIST.
FORMIDABLE.
NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
TO GET HER BACK, BETTE?
I SENT HER FLOWERS.
FLOWERS?
OH, COME ON. YOU'RE AN IDIOT.
WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH FLOWERS?
WELL, YOU'VE GOT TO BE A LITTLE MORE ORIGINAL THAN THAT
IF SHE'S AS SPECIAL AS PHYLLIS SAYS.
I'M GOING TO GO AND COMMIT HARA-KIRI
RIGHT NOW.
YOU HAVE A GREAT SPRING BREAK, PHYLLIS.
YOU TOO, BETTE.
IT WAS NICE TO SEE YOU, JOYCE.
NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
HAVE A SEAT.
OKAY.
PHYLLIS, LET'S HAVE IT.
WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
WELL, JOYCE,
I FIRST SUSPECTED
I MIGHT BE LESBIAN
WHEN I WAS A SOPHOMORE AT WELLESLEY.
I FELL MADLY IN LOVE WITH JANE HOWARD.
WE BOTH LOVED--
NO, NO, NO, I MEAN YOUR PRESENT-DAY STORY.
OH.I UNDERSTAND YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND
ARE GETTING A DIVORCE.
YES.
I ACTUALLY SAW YOUR MOVIE
BEFORE IT WON SUNDANCE.
I TRIED TO CONVINCE THESE ASSHOLES
TO PICK IT UP, BUT...
OUR CLASSICS DIVISION
WAS A MESS.
YEAH, IT WAS OUR BAD.
WELL, NOW YOU HAVE HER NEXT MOVIE,
WHICH IS A PRETTY GOOD CHUMP PRIZE.
HELLO.
I'M SO SORRY I AM LATE,
BUT I HAD TO PICK UP SOUNDER FROM THE GROOMER,
BECAUSE I WANTED HIM
TO BE ALL LOVELY AND PRETTY
FOR HIS VERY FIRST STUDIO MEETING.
THERE WAS NO PARKING PASS FOR ME AT THE GUARD GATE
FOR SOME REASON.
LORENZO, DEE DEE, CHIP,
THIS IS JENNY SCHECTER.
HI. SHE'S THE AUTHOR
OF THE BOOK.
OH!
LORENZO?
YES.
HI.
LET ME GIVE YOU A VERY BIG HUG.
MWAH. WELCOME BACK.
IT'S SO NICE TO FINALLY MEET YOU.
I ACTUALLY DIDN'T KNOW
THAT YOU WOULD BE AT THE MEETING.
WELL, JENNY, WE THOUGHT THAT--
WHAT, THAT I WAS, UH, COMPLETELY CLUELESS?
SOMEONE TO FUCK WITH?
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T REALIZE
WHAT A LYING,
DUPLICITOUS, SCHEMING,
EXCUSE YOU ARE FOR A FRIEND? [CLATTERING]
BE CAREFUL
IF YOU'RE DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS WOMAN
BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY EATS HER OWN.
JENNY, ACTUALLY,
TINA'S BEEN A REALLY GOOD FRIEND TO YOU.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, SHE'S PROTECTED YOU.
SHE JUST WANTS TO FUCK YOU.
SHE DOES.
SHE JUST WANTS TO GET IN YOUR PANTS.
SHUT THE FUCK UP, JENNY, OKAY?
YOU'RE A CUNT.
THAT-- UH...
DON'T TOUCH MY DOG.
BETTE ALMOST LOST HER JOB BECAUSE OF YOU.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
THAT ENDANGERS MY CHILD.
SORRY. COME HERE.
THAT IS FOOD IN ANGELICA'S MOUTH.
THAT IS A ROOF OVER HER HEAD.
THAT, TO ME, IS UNFORGIVABLE.
OH, GOD, TINA.
CAN YOU JUST CUT ALL YOUR BULLSHIT?
JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE HAD A BABY
DOESN'T MAKE YOU MORE EXALTED THAN THE REST OF US.
I AM SO FUCKING TIRED
OF ALL THESE TEDIOUS LESBIANS HAVING BABIES
AND THE SELF-AGGRANDIZING BULLSHIT.
[LIQUID TRICKLING]
OOH.
GOD.
I'M SORRY.
HE'S NOT POTTY-TRAINED.
IS HE? SORRY.
[BETTE]: I LOVE YOU, SWEETIE.
GOOD NIGHT.
YOU SLEEP TIGHT.
I LOVE YOU.
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
HELLO?
HI. IT'S TOM MATER
INTERPRETING FOR JODI LERNER.
SHE'S-- SHE'S CALLING ME BACK?
HELLO?
YEAH, I'M IN UPSTATE NEW YORK.
CELL PHONES DON'T WORK HERE.
WE'RE SLEEPING IN A TENT.
WE JUST GOT TO THE LODGE TONIGHT.
SO, UM, WHERE-- WHERE IS THE LODGE?
IT'S IN TOWN.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I JUST WANTED TO SAY
THAT, JODI, I JUST... I GOT...
I GOT SCARED, AND...
AND YOU PUT ME IN A BOX.
I KNOW.
OH, SO YOU GOT THE-- YOU GOT MY EMAIL?
YES, I DID.
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY.
SO HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING?
HELLO?
UM...
IT'S COLD...
AND INTENSE.
WELL, YEAH, I MEAN, I'M SURE
IF YOU GUYS ARE--
IF YOU'RE LIVING IN A TENT--
AND I'M SURE THE WORK IS GOING WELL,
I JUST... HELLO?
WAS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR
YOU WANTED TO SPEAK TO ME ABOUT?
HELLO?
YEAH.
UH...
WELL...
[EXHALES SHAKILY]
I JUST... AHEM.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I MISS YOU,
AND, UM, I'M SURE ANGIE MISSES YOU, TOO.
SHE JUST SIGNED...
SHE JUST SIGNED "I LOVE YOU"
TO ME TONIGHT.
THAT'S SWEET.
[**]
* THANK YOU
FOR GIVING US THE DAY *
SO I SECURED THE DOLLY DOWN
WITH THESE BUNGEE CORDS.
OH, GOOD. GREAT. THANK YOU.
AND I GAVE YOU MY POWER DRILL SET
AND AN EXTRA ROPE.
I'M JUST SORRY I CAN'T GO WITH YOU GUYS.
IT'S NO PROBLEM. THANK YOU.
SO, IS GRACE GOING WITH YOU TO SAN FRANCISCO?
YEAH, SHE IS.
GOOD MORNING.
HEY.
HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING BE THERE?
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO DO IT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH WITH IT?
REALLY?
GOOD LORD, IT'S EARLY. GOOD MORNING.
HEY, GOOD LUCK IN SAN FRANCISCO.
THANKS.
OH, HE DOESN'T KNOW
IF HE'S GOING TO GO THROUGH WITH IT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE, UH...
[WHISTLES]
REALLY?
I MIGHT.
I JUST...
IT'S AN IRREVERSIBLE DECISION, YOU KNOW?
RIGHT.
YEAH.
WELL, ANYWAY, YOU GUYS SHOULD TAKE OFF.
YOU DRIVING? YEAH.
GOOD LUCK.
THANKS. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
TAKE CARE.
[**]
[BETTE]: I'M SORRY I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE
TO GO TO TASHA'S GOING-AWAY PARTY.
[SHANE]: THAT'S ALL RIGHT, NEITHER IS ALICE.
[ALICE]: I'M NOT GOING.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M NOT GOING TO A PARTY TO CELEBRATE
THAT THE PERSON I CARE FOR IS ABOUT TO LEAVE
FOR THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE ON EARTH,
YOU KNOW, TO FIGHT
IN A MORALLY BANKRUPT WAR
AND MAY BE COMING HOME IN A BODY BAG.
IT WOULD BE INSANE.
YOU'RE WRONG, ALICE.
WELL, SHE'S NOT TOTALLY WRONG.
WHY?
IT IS A MORALLY BANKRUPT WAR.
LET'S GO.
ARE YOU SURE
YOU KNOW, MAYBE SHE JUST WOULDN'T WANT, LIKE,
A SPORTS CAR?
OR, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE A CARTIER DIAMOND
WOULD BE A LOVELY GIFT.
WELL, SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO USE IT
IN A SCULPTURE.
SHE SAID IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SIGN
SHE'D EVER SEEN.
[SIGHING]
LOOK, THE WHOLE BUILDING
IS SCHEDULED
TO BE DEMOLISHED NEXT WEEK ANYWAY.
I TRIED TO TALK TO THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING,
BUT HE'S OUT OF THE COUNTRY,
EVADING TAX FRAUD CHARGES OR SOMETHING.
OKAY, SHANE, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE ROPE.
I WANT YOU TO RIG IT UP
SO WE CAN TRY TO GET IT OVER THE FENCE.
THEN I TRIED TO TALK TO THE BUILDING MANAGER,
BUT HE'S A USELESS FRIGGIN' PETTY BUREAUCRAT
WHO WOULD RATHER SAY NO
THAN TAKE A $1,500 BRIBE,
AND JAMES WASN'T ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH
WITH THE SECURITY GUARD.
SO THAT MEANS...
HERE WE ARE.
OKAY.
WELL, I HOPE WE DON'T GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM THIS MORNING.
THAT WOULD SUCK.
NO, WELL, I HAD HIM CHECK ON THE SHIFTS.
WEEKENDS, HE ONLY COMES
IN THE LATE AFTERNOON.
OKAY, SO, WE HAVE THE DOLLY,
WE HAVE THE ROPE, WE HAVE THE TOOLKIT,
WE HAVE THE WIRECUTTERS,
WE HAVE STEAKS.
OKAY...
STEAKS?
FOR LUNCH?
ONE...
THAT'D BE NICE.
TWO...
HAVE YOU DONE THAT BEFORE, BETTE?
NO, ALICE, I HAVEN'T.
WE'RE GOING OVER.
YOU GO FIRST. ME?
WHAT DO I DO?
WHY DON'T YOU... START ON UP.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE DOLLY UP OVER THE FENCE.
OKAY.
NEED A HAND?
UH, YEAH-- OH!
THANKS.
YOU KNOW, KATE, I THINK
IS JUST A REPLACEMENT FOR YOU, BETTE.
I THINK TINA REALLY WANTS TO GET
BACK TOGETHER WITH YOU.
NO, SHE DOESN'T.
OH, REALLY? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE SHE'S TRYING TO HELP ME GET JODI BACK.
WHY WOULD SHE TRY TO HELP ME GET JODI BACK
IF SHE WANTED TO BE WITH ME?
RIGHT.
OKAY, I'M GOING TO HAND UP THE DOLLY.
WHEW.
HEY, WHAT ARE THOSE STEAKS FOR ANYWAY?
[DOGS BARKING]
[SCREAMING]
[ALICE SHRIEKING]
[GATE SLAMS]
COME ON, YOU GUYS, LET'S GO!
[**]
LET'S GO.
THIS WAY.
ALICE, ALICE, ALICE.
BE CAREFUL.
[GRUNTS]
ALL RIGHT.
DON'T MAKE SO MUCH NOISE, OKAY?
HEY, DID YOU GUYS EVER HEAR OF VALLEY VILLAGE?
VALLEY VILLAGE?
YEAH, THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GET
THAT THREE-BEDROOM HOUSE,
AND A DISHWASHER--
WITH JUNE AND BEAVER CLEAVER AS YOUR NEIGHBOR, YEAH.
ASIDE FROM THAT SNOTTY REMARK,
YOU KNOW, THE KIDS CAN
RIDE THEIR BIKES TO SCHOOL, AND--
SHIT. NO?
FUCK.
HEY!
LET'S GO, FATTY. COME ON.
YOU OWE ME.
OKAY.
OKAY! OKAY!
[THUMP]
I GOT IT.
WHY IS SHE TALKING ABOUT KIDS AND BIKES
AND FAMILY ROOMS?
I DON'T THINK THAT'S SHANE.
I THINK THAT'S A POD PERSON
IN SHANE'S BODY PRETENDING TO BE SHANE.
OKAY, COME ON.
OW!
OOF!
WHERE IS IT?
THERE IT IS, UP THERE.
THAT'S NOT IT.
IS THAT IT? YEAH, YEAH.
YEAH, IT IS.
YOU'RE KIDDING. OH, MY GOD.
ARE YOU HIGH?
THIS ISN'T REALISTIC.
THIS IS FUCKING INSANE.
I KNOW.
BUT IT'S ROMANTIC.
IT IS.
LAUGH IF YOU WANT.
WAIT A MINUTE!
WHAT?
[CAMERA BEEPS]
OH, MY GOD. PHOTO OP.
ALICE...
OKAY, SAY, "THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY!"
[CLICKS]
[**]
* GONNA LEAVE YOU, BABY
[GROWLING]
* BEFORE I COMMIT A CRIME
* I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU, BABY
* BEFORE I COMMIT A CRIME
[BARKING]
YEAH, GIRL, WE MADE ALL THESE LITTLE SANDWICHES,
YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT'LL KEEP,
AND WE MADE THE PLANET COOKIES!
OH, I LOVE THE PLANET COOKIES!
WELL, I'M SO GLAD,
BECAUSE I MADE A THOUSAND OF THEM SUCKERS,
SO WE BETTER EAT 'EM,
AND I MADE A CAKE,
WHICH I WILL BRING BACK
WHEN I COME BACK TONIGHT.
IS IT RED, WHITE, AND BLUE?
NO.
[LAUGHS]
ARE YOU GUYS BACK TOGETHER?
PAPI...
I...
I'M REALLY WORKING ON
GETTING MYSELF BACK TOGETHER FIRST
BEFORE I CAN
GO BACK WITH ANYONE.
I WISH YOU BOTH HAPPINESS.
I'M AFRAID WE HAVE A LITTLE CONFLICT.
WHAT KIND OF A CONFLICT?
WE'VE BEEN INVITED TO A POKER GAME THIS EVENING.
VERY BIG PAYDAY.
CATHERINE,
THIS IS MY FRIEND'S GOING-AWAY PARTY.
I HAVE TO BE HERE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE HERE.
I'M SURE YOUR FRIENDS WILL UNDERSTAND
THAT I NEED YOU.
[SCOFFS]
[**]
COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.
HERE IT COMES.
COME ON.
OKAY, I GOT IT.
I GOT IT. SHIT!
[DOGS BARKING]
I THINK I HEAR SOMEONE!
[DOGS BARKING]
HURRY UP!
SHIT. IT'S THAT SECURITY GUY.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID
HE WAS COMING THIS AFTERNOON?
SHANE, WE'RE COMING DOWN.
YEAH, HURRY UP.
OKAY, COME ON. LET'S GO.
OH, GOD. I'M STUCK!
GO WITHOUT ME.
LEAVE ME BEHIND!
SAVE YOURSELF!
WE CAN'T DO THIS, YOU GUYS.
YES, WE CAN.
JUST KEEP GOING.
[GRUNTING]
[CLATTERING]
OH, GOD.
WHEW.
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.
REALLY.
YOU'RE JUST THE BEST.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME. YEAH, YEAH.
[DOG YAPPING]
[WHISPERING]: SOUNDER.
STOP IT.
[YAPPING]
STOP IT.
[**]
* TRY ME I'M HARD TO PLEASE *
SOUNDER.
SOUNDER, COME.
[WHISPERING]
SOUNDER, COME.
BEHAVE YOURSELF.
LET'S GO.
HEY.
KATE.
HI.
JENNY.
I, UH... I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE
FOR MY BEHAVIOR THE OTHER DAY.
I WAS...
A LITTLE UPSET.
I THINK THAT...
THE REASON WHY ALL OF THAT HAPPENED
IS 'CAUSE TINA MIGHT BE THREATENED OR SOMETHING--
YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY,
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.
THIS ISN'T REALLY A GOOD TIME, OKAY?
BUT MAYBE YOU AND I COULD GET TOGETHER AFTER.
YOU KNOW.
SURE. OKAY.
I WAS... I MEAN, I-- I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU
THAT I THINK THAT IF YOU AND I COULD TRY
TO WORK TOGETHER,
I THINK THAT WE COULD
DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL AND POWERFUL AND--
I HEAR THE BOOK IS RIVETING,
JENNY.
I CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT.
MERKIN? ANY MORE LIVES
DESTROYED IN THIS ONE?
HAVE YOU CRUSHED ANY SOULS LATELY?
OR WAS LINDSEY IT?
WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?
I'M WRITING A STORY ON KATE
FOR VELVETPARK MAGAZINE.
ARE YOU GUYS...
WHERE'S-- WHERE'S LINDSEY?
WHAT HAVE YOU-- WHAT HAPPENED TO LINDSEY?
WHO'S LINDSEY?
THAT'S JUST WHAT
I WAS ABOUT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
LINDSEY WAS MY GIRLFRIEND.
SHE WAS A VETERINARIAN.
A SWEET, SELFLESS PERSON.
AND THEN JENNY CAME IN AND DESTROYED HER.
SHE WROTE A TERRIBLE REVIEW OF MY BOOK.
ARE YOU GOING TO KILL THAT DOG, TOO?
I DIDN'T KILL A DOG.
YOU KILLED A DOG?
NO, I DIDN'T.
THE DOG WAS OLD
AND THE DOG WAS-- THE DOG WAS SICK.
LINDSEY WAS SO, SO INCREDIBLY UPSET
WHEN SHE FOUND OUT
THAT THE DOG SHE PUT DOWN
WAS ACTUALLY NOT JENNY'S DOG AT ALL.
OH...
YOU'RE MORE TWISTED THAN TINA SAID YOU WERE.
YOU'RE MORE TWISTED THAN THE CHARACTERS IN YOUR BOOK.
I MADE A MISTAKE, OKAY?
IT WAS A VERY BAD MISTAKE.
DO YOU, LIKE,
PREY ON PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES ARE ALREADY FALLING APART,
OR DO YOU ACTUALLY TAKE
A MORE AGGRESSIVE ROLE IN CREATING THEIR GRIEF
AND DESTRUCTION?
THAT'S SUCH A GOOD QUESTION.
I MEAN, IN JENNY'S WORLD,
DOES ART IMITATE LIFE?
DOES LIFE IMITATE ART?
AND WHEN I THINK OF THAT POOR GIRL
THAT'S THE BASE FOR THE CHARACTER "KARINA"--
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
MARINA WAS A VIPER.
NO, ACTUALLY, I HEARD SHE WAS A REALLY NICE GIRL
UNTIL SHE MET YOU,
AND THEN HER LIFE, LIKE, FELL APART.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
YOU SHOULDN'T LISTEN
TO ANYTHING MERKIN SAYS.
NO, STACEY DIDN'T TELL ME.
WHAT? WHO TOLD YOU THAT?
IT WAS, UH, "ALYSSE."
NO, IT WAS...
"SHAUN." "SHAUN" TOLD ME.
OH, NO. "NINA."
WAS IT "NINA"?
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T WAIT
TO TELL YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
WITH THE CHARACTER OF JESSIE
IN MY ADAPTATION OF LEZ GIRLS.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
NO, I DON'T WANT THE TRACK--
OKAY, NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.
OH, I'LL GET THE TRACKING NUMBER.
OKAY, WHAT IS IT?
HI. I'M PHYLLIS KROLL.
HI. I'M TINA KENNARD.
IS BETTE HERE? UH, YEAH.
HI! I'M SORRY.
I'M JUST-- I'M RUNNING TO THE AIRPORT RIGHT NOW--
I'M SO SORRY.
I'LL JUST TAKE
A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME.
YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS.
JOYCE WISCHNIA
REFUSES TO REPRESENT ME,
SAYING IT'S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
WELL, I'M REALLY SORRY, PHYLLIS.
I CAN'T IMAGINE
WHAT CONFLICT OF INTEREST THERE WOULD BE.
BUT RIGHT NOW I'M--
WELL, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A CONFLICT
BECAUSE THE MOMENT I LAID EYES ON HER,
I KNEW I WANTED TO JUMP HER LOVELY BONES.
[GIGGLES]
[LAUGHING]
HEY, TINA.
HI, JOYCE.
[LAUGHING]
OH, WHAT A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL, BRILLIANT,
AND SEXY BOSS YOU HAVE, BETTE.
[LAUGHS]
WHAT DO YOU SAY, DOLL?
YOU WANT TO HIT THE ROAD?
YEAH, LET'S GO ON OUT
TO WATTLES MANSION. YEAH!
OOH, WE'RE GOING TO WATTLES MANSION!
OH, WE JUST LOVE TO DO ARCHITECTURAL GARDEN TOURS.
OH, BETTE,
DID YOU CALL A TAXI?
OH, YEAH, CAN YOU ASK THEM
TO WAIT ONE SECOND?
[LAUGHS]
THAT WAS SURREAL. SURREAL.
ABSOLUTELY.
OH, MY GOD.
I'M GOING TO CALL AND TALK TO ANGIE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME.
I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
OKAY, AND REMEMBER--
"I TOTALLY DEFER TO YOU."
WHEN SHE ASKS YOU WHETHER YOU'RE PLANNING
ON HANGING OUT WHEN SHE'S WORKING--
"I TOTALLY DEFER TO YOU."
AND WHEN SHE WANTS TO JOIN YOU FOR DINNER?
"I YIELD TO YOUR WISHES."
AND WHEN SHE EQUIVOCATES ABOUT WHETHER IT'S A GOOD IDEA
FOR YOU TO SLEEP TOGETHER TOMORROW NIGHT?
"I BOW TO YOUR SUPERIOR JUDGMENT."
GOOD LUCK.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU, TOO.
FOR WHAT?
WITH KATE.
OH...
YEAH.
WELL, I'LL CALL YOU.
OKAY.
YOU'LL LOCK UP?
OH, YEAH, I GOT IT, I GOT IT.
GREAT.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
BYE.
[**]
[WATER SPLASHING]
[SPITS]
[MUMBLING]
UM... OKAY.
[EXHALING]
HOW AMAZING IS THIS?
WHAT?
BEING ALONE IN THE HOUSE.
NO ROOMMATES.
NO KID.
HAVE YOU TALKED TO JARED?
YES.
HE'S FINE.
IT'S HIS SECOND SLEEPOVER WITH GREG.
OH, GOOD.
WHAT'S THAT?
OH, IT'S, UH...
A HOUSE I WAS GOING TO TAKE.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT, TOO.
THREE-BEDROOM, FAMILY ROOM,
BACKYARD...
MAYBE YOU AND JARED SHOULD TAKE IT.
OH, YOU KNOW WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT.
MAYBE WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT, UM...
MAYBE TAKING IT TOGETHER.
WHAT?
WHAT'D I SAY?
NOTHING!
NO, YOU JUST HAVE A LITTLE, UM, TOOTHPASTE
RIGHT...
HERE?
NO, NO, NO.
NO, THE OTHER SIDE.
YEAH.
IS IT OFF?
NO, NOT REALLY.
IT'S STILL KIND OF THERE.
WHAT, YOU GOING TO LET ME SIT HERE WITH IT ON?
NO. YOU'RE GONNA TAKE IT OFF?
IS IT OFF?
NO, I DON'T THINK IT'S OFF YET.
[**]
* HERE AGAIN AT THE END *
* BEFORE THE BEGINNING
* SO THE SALT WILL SPILL AGAIN *
* THROW IT OVER YOUR SHOULDER
* OH, IT'S IN TOMORROW FORTUNE OR SORROW *
* WAIT, YOU MAY WIN
* I DON'T MEAN TO SHOW THAT I KNOW HOW THIS GOES *
* BEFORE WE BEGIN
* AGAIN
* YOU MAY HIDE ON ONE SIDE *
* AND ME ON THE OTHER
* YOU MAY SPEAK BUT WAIT FOR ME *
* SHOULD MY SENTENCE FALTER
* OH, IT'S IN TOMORROW FORTUNE OR SORROW *
* WAIT, YOU MAY WIN
* BUT NOW IT FEELS EMPTY THERE'S NO NEED IN GUESSING *
* BEFORE WE BEGIN
* AGAIN
* OH, IT'S IN TOMORROW FORTUNE OR SORROW *
* WAIT, YOU MAY WIN
* BUT NOW IT FEELS EMPTY THERE'S NO NEED IN GUESSING *
* BEFORE WE BEGIN
* AGAIN
* SO HERE WE ARE AGAIN *
* BACK TO THE BEGINNING
* SO THE SALT WILL SPILL AGAIN *
* THROW IT OVER YOUR SHOULDER
* OH, IT'S IN TOMORROW FORTUNE OR SORROW *
* WAIT, YOU MAY WIN
* I DON'T MEAN TO SHOW THAT I KNOW HOW THIS GOES *

[EXHALES]
ALL RIGHT, I'LL BE WAITING OUTSIDE.
OKAY.
FUCK YOU, TASHA.
[DANA]: WELL, FUCK YOU, TOO.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO COME HERE.
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU NEED ME.
OH, PLEASE.
WHO ELSE IS GOING TO TELL YOU
TO GET YOUR ASS OFF THE SOFA, HUH?
AND OVER TO YOUR FRIEND'S FUCKING GOING-AWAY PARTY, ALICE?
I CAN'T DO THAT, OKAY?
BECAUSE YOU'RE FALLING IN LOVE WITH HER?
BECAUSE SHE GOT INSIDE HERE?
BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO SEE HER AGAIN?
DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
DO YOU HAVE INFORMATION?
LOOK...
[SETS CAN DOWN]
WHAT I KNOW, ALICE...
IS THAT YOU NEVER KNOW
HOW LONG ANYTHING'S GONNA LAST.
THE ONLY THING
ANY OF US KNOWS IN THIS LIFE
IS THAT ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.
WELL, THAT'S TOO HARD FOR ME.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
HMM?
THAT YOU WISH YOU NEVER MET ME?
THAT, BECAUSE I HAD TO LEAVE,
AND THAT WAS REALLY
HARD FOR YOU,
THAT YOU'D RATHER I JUST NEVER EXISTED
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
HMM?
THAT'D BE EASIER?
LOOK, ALICE, I DON'T THINK
IT'S ANY LESS PAINFUL
TO LOSE SOMEONE TO A TRAGIC MISUNDERSTANDING
THAN IT IS TO LOSE SOMEONE
TO A GODDAMN HEART ATTACK.
THAT'S NOT TRUE,
BECAUSE I CAN GET OVER A MISUNDERSTANDING.
NOT ALWAYS.
ANYWAY, DON'T-- DON'T ARGUE WITH MY SUPERIOR WISDOM, OKAY?
GO GET DRESSED.
GO ON!
I WANT TO SEE YOU IN THAT FUCKING PARTY DRESS.
OH. GOD...
YOU REALLY CURSE A LOT MORE NOW.
[**]
OHH...
* I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A LONG TIME... *
YEAH, WELL, YOU'D CURSE A LOT, TOO.
[SIGHING]
* WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CARRY YOU OUT *
* HOW LONG?
* HOW MUCH MORE LONG? HOW LONG? *
WELL, THANKS FOR HAVING US.
WOW! LOOK AT THIS VIEW!
HEY THERE.
HEY.
HI. HI.
HOW'RE YOU DOING?
THEY FIRED ME FROM THE MOVIE.
SHUT UP.
YEAH, THEY DID.
I THINK I'VE BEEN JUDGED A LOT,
AND I DON'T KNOW.
PEOPLE HERE JUST THINK
THAT I'M, LIKE, THIS PARIAH.
YOU'RE NOT A PARIAH.
YOU KNOW THAT.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU TOO.
YOU'RE NOT A PARIAH. FUCK OFF.
COME HAVE A DRINK WITH ME.
NAH, I'M JUST GOING TO STAY HERE.

YEAH, I'M GOOD.
I'M GOING TO COME AND CHECK ON YOU.
BYE. BYE.
HEY.
HEY. WHAT'S UP?
IT'S TASHA'S PARTY. WHERE'S TASHA?
SHE'S WALKING ON THE BEACH
WITH PAPI SOMEWHERE.
I THINK KIT RAN INTO SOMEBODY SHE KNEW.
* ...IN HAITI
* THE COAST GUARD DROPPED ME... *
YOU KNOW IF YOU DIE OUT THERE,
I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, RIGHT?
* NO, NO, NO, NO
* HOW LONG?
* HOW MUCH MORE LONG?
* HOW LONG?
* HEY
* BABY, HOW LONG?
* HOW MUCH MORE LONG?
* HOW LONG?
* OH

* AM I JUST GONNA HAVE TO WAIT ON YOU? *
* YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
WHOO!
ALL RIGHT!
HEY, TOSHI...
THERE'S TASHA, THAT'S OUR GIRL
THAT'S GOING TO IRAQ TOMORROW.
ARE YOU HAVING FUN?
YES.
AS A MATTER OF FACT.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE TWO?
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE HAVING FUN.
DO YOU THINK THEY'LL LAST?
DO YOU WANT TO WAGER ON IT?
[CHUCKLES]
YOU WANT TO MAKE A BET
AS TO WHETHER OR NOT SHANE AND PAIGE
ARE GOING TO STAY TOGETHER?
COME ON, IT'LL BE FUN.
[OPENS AND CLOSES SAFE]
I'M BETTING THEY'LL MAKE IT.
YEAH, WELL, YOU DON'T KNOW SHANE'S HISTORY
LIKE I DO.
THEN IT'LL BE A GOOD BET FOR YOU,
WON'T IT?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT--
IF THEY'RE NOT STILL TOGETHER
SIX MONTHS FROM NOW,
I'LL WRITE YOU A CHECK FOR A MILLION DOLLARS.
[LAUGHS LIGHTLY]
AND IF THEY'RE STILL TOGETHER?
WELL, IF I WIN,
YOU GET TO BE MY SERVANT AND SEX SLAVE
FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
[CALLING OUT]: HAVE A GREAT POKER GAME.
[WHISPERING]: AND GO FUCK YOURSELF.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
[BOTH LAUGHING]
FUCKING EXECUTIVES.
HOLD ON.
OH, IT'S, UM... IT'S BETTE.
HEY.
I'M SORRY. IS THIS TOO LATE TO CALL?
NO, NO, IT'S... IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
ARE YOU STILL AT TASHA'S PARTY?
YEAH, I'M STILL HERE.
I'M OUT ON THE BEACH WITH KATE.
OH, UM...
WELL, I JUST... I JUST...
I JUST I NEED ONE MORE LITTLE THING.
JUST TELL ME WHAT TO SAY WHEN I GIVE HER THE SIGN.
OKAY, UM...
"I NEVER SHOULD HAVE LET YOU GO."
"I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ANOTHER CHANCE."
"I'M NOT AFRAID TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF MYSELF."
OKAY?
SLEEP WELL.
THANK YOU, T.
[EXHALING HEAVILY]
[JENNY]: ALL RIGHT, COME ON, KIDDO.
SINCE NO ONE WANTS TO RIDE WITH ME,
WHY DON'T WE GO TAKE A RIDE?
LET'S GO.
DO YOU WANT TO GO?
COME ON. COME ON!
YOU AND I WILL BE FRIENDS, ALL RIGHT?
THANKS FOR STICKING AROUND, BUDDY.
IT'S JUST YOU AND THE PARIAH, SOUNDER.
[GUITAR PLAYING BLUESY LICKS]
[YAPPING]
HEY!
HEY.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
WE'RE JUST HANGING OUT AND HAVING A GOOD TIME.
JUST ONE BIG, HAPPY FAMILY.
YEAH. [SOUNDER BARKING]
SOUNDER?
[BARKING]
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
HUH?
WERE YOU GETTING BORED AT THE PARTY?
WHERE'S YOUR MOTHER?
HEY, WHERE'S JENNY?
THAT'S SOUNDER.
UH, I HAVEN'T SEEN HER.
[**]
[TOM, INTERPRETING]: I WANT THIS ONE
TO HANG PARALLEL.
UP A LITTLE BIT MORE.
GOOD. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.
PERFECT.
I'M GOING TO HANG SOMETHING THERE.
LIKE WHAT?
SHE SAID SHE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT SHE'S GOING TO HANG.
SHE HASN'T FOUND IT YET,
BUT SOMETHING.
* LET'S PRETEND WE'RE JUST TWO PEOPLE *
* AND YOU'RE NOT BETTER THAN ME *
* I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS *
* IF WE CAN SPEAK HONESTLY
* WHAT DO YOU FEEL
* WHEN YOU SEE ALL THE HOMELESS ON THE STREET? *
* WHO DO YOU PRAY FOR AT NIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP? *
* WHAT DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR? *
* ARE YOU PROUD?
* HOW DO YOU SLEEP WHILE THE REST OF US CRY? *
* HOW DO YOU DREAM
* WHEN A MOTHER HAS NO CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE? *
* HOW DO YOU WALK WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH? *
* CAN YOU EVEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE *
* AND TELL ME WHY?
* DEAR MR. PRESIDENT
* WERE YOU A LONELY BOY?
* WERE YOU A LONELY BOY? *
* ARE YOU A LONELY BOY?
* ARE YOU A LONELY BOY? *
* HOW CAN YOU SAY NO CHILD IS LEFT BEHIND? *
* WE'RE NOT DUMB AND WE'RE NOT BLIND... *
BETTER NOT BREAK MY HEART.
* ...WHILE YOU PAVE THE ROAD TO HELL *
* WHAT KIND OF FATHER
* WOULD TAKE HIS OWN DAUGHTERS' RIGHTS AWAY? *
* AND WHAT KIND OF FATHER
* MIGHT HATE HIS OWN DAUGHTER IF SHE WERE GAY? *
* I CAN ONLY IMAGINE
* WHAT THE FIRST LADY HAS TO SAY *
* YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY FROM WHISKEY AND COCAINE *
* HOW DO YOU SLEEP WHILE THE REST OF US CRY? *
* HOW DO YOU DREAM
* WHEN A MOTHER HAS NO CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE? *
* HOW DO YOU WALK WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH? *
* CAN YOU EVEN LOOK ME IN THE EYE? *
* LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HARD WORK *
* MINIMUM WAGE WITH A BABY ON THE WAY *
* LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HARD WORK *
* REBUILDING YOUR HOUSE AFTER THE BOMBS TOOK THEM AWAY *
* LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HARD WORK *
* BUILDING A BED OUT OF A CARDBOARD BOX *
* LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HARD WORK *
* HARD WORK, HARD WORK
* YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HARD WORK *
* HARD WORK, HARD WORK
* HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?
* HOW DO YOU WALK
* WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH?
* DEAR MR. PRESIDENT...
[**]
YEAH.
