Previously on The L Word: Generation Q...
[Sophie] What if we bring to light
everyday queer stories?
I love it.
[Shane] I did have something to do with your breakup.
I care about you, Tess.
[Pippa] If you offered a real opportunity,
I would find that hard to pass up.
[Angie] My donor, he's in kidney failure,
-and he needs a kidney. -[Bette] No.
-Shouldn't we hear her out? -Look, you don't have
-a say in this. -Babe, babe...
That Bette, I don't how you
-ever married her. -What?
We have to try to make this work.
-I'm just so pissed. -You got through it.
Now we can focus on more fun stuff.
We're open to you reaching out to Marcus.
Finley's not that bad.
-I know that. I love her. -So do I.
I want you, Finley, I want you!
-Oh, my... excuse me. -Dani? Dani...
singers vocalizing
[moaning]
-I want to dance with you. -Yeah. Of course. Yeah.
Not as friends.
[whispers] Oh, fuck.
I told you I'd let you know if my feelings
for you changed, and they have.
panting
Let's skip small talk
Eyes meet, lips lock
We're just bodies in a sleepwalk...
-[grunts] -[laughter]
We're not done yet
Living life without a regret
Call us wanton, call us impure...
-[smack] -Ooh, fuck.
That we're uncalled for
Ooh!
Say we're toxic without a cure
-[moaning] - Say we're wrong
To not want something more
Or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or
Or, or, or, or, or-or
More, or, or, or, or, or...
-[panting] -[moaning]
Or, or, or-or
We don't need more
Oh
'Cause that's not what we're searching
We don't need more...
[passionate moaning]
'Cause that's not what we're searching for...
[moans]
[both panting]
Or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or-or
Should we, like...
drink water or eat or something?
[exhales sharply]
Yeah, yeah.
-Probably should. -Okay.
But wait, wait. Maybe not.
Maybe not.
[both moaning]
[Alice] Tom's kind of great. No.
-[Bette] I got it. -No, no.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'm happy for you, Alice.
-You seem pretty smitten. -Well, we'll see.
I mean, it has been a very nice way to move on from Nat.
-Mm... -And Gigi?
Is probably playing head games with someone else.
Yeah, yeah.
[indistinct chatter]
Did I summon them?
Oh, fuck.
They're both here? That is so gay.
"Girls Will Be Girls" by AG featuring Suzy Shinn
Girls will be girls will be girls
Just like girls will be girls will be girls
Oh, my girls will be girls will be girls
What's it to you?
You know what's super weird?
It's like together, they're one big, giant ex.
But then one of them is your ex, and then one of them is my ex.
Well, actually, the other one is also my ex.
Yeah, well, it's really some of your finest work.
-Thank you. -[phone ringing]
Oh, shoot, I've-I've ignored him twice.
I've got to get this call.
Hi, Isaac.
Hey, Bette. I'm gonna go say hi
to be nice. I'll meet you by the car.
Okay. Be strong.
You're moving on. No, not you, Isaac.
[huffs]
Hi! [laughs]
Hi.
What are you doing here?
I was having brunch with Bette inside.
-Oh. Wow. -Yeah.
Great.
How are you?
Good. Good-good.
-Very, very, very good. -Good?
-Yeah. -Good. Yeah. Me, too.
[inhales sharply]
And I'm just here with Gigi going over
the schedule. We're not, you know,
-together. -I didn't think you guys were.
-Yeah, I wasn't... -Yeah, I hope you don't
think that. It's just logistics.
Right, I know how you love those.
-[Nat] Yeah. -[Alice] Yep.
-Okay, good seeing you. -Yeah.
-It was great. -Good to see you.
-Okay. -This is nice.
-Mm-hmm, it's great. Okay. -Okay.
-All right. Bye. -Later, later.
So how was that?
That was... nice?
Hmm.
I'm a beast
I'm a legend
Yeah, you'll need a safe word with me...
Um... that's new.
You got some new moves, huh?
Yeah. You like that?
Um...
Oh, yeah!
[panting]
[Tess] I'm excited for our charity event tonight.
Yeah, so I'm thinking -we do a $1 - K buy-in.
And then we can donate ten percent to the MS Society.
It's amazing.
-You like it? -Yeah, it's great.
Like, I...
-feel like I'm gonna cry. -No, no.
Don't, don't do that.
Okay, I won't.
But seriously?
Thank you for doing this for me.
It's my pleasure, Tess.
Okay. Um...
I'm gonna go hang out with my anonymous friends now.
Okay.
I'll call you after.
-Have a good meeting. -Thank you.
[engine starts]
[sighs]
Christ.
[Angie] I don't know.
Maybe hearing about what my donor's parents
did for a living would be cool.
Maybe, but... are you sure you want it to be so formal?
With, like, written-out questions and everything?
Well, yeah. 'Cause what
if I freeze and forget everything I wanted to ask him?
I guess.
Do you like this look?
Hmm?
There's a suit version, too.
[Angie] Yeah.
So cute.
I just may not get another chance 'cause I don't know
if my moms will let me see him more than once.
Uh-huh.
Do you think he would tell me if he's...
ever been arrested or what his biggest regret is?
Oh, my God. What if he, like, killed someone?
That'd be nuts.
Yeah. Totally.
Hey, you're def gonna come hang out
at the park tomorrow night, right?
For sure.
Cool.
-Are you...? -See ya.
Okay.
Bye.
[Bette] Hi.
You came.
You said you had a real offer, so here I am.
Can I get you some water or coffee?
No, thanks.
Just...
Well, the CAC
is mounting a group show of artists of color
whose work addresses Black Lives Matter.
-Hmm. -I pitched the idea
of building the show around you.
Did they laugh in your face? [laughs]
They most certainly did not.
I think I'll take that water now.
This is a good thing.
This is a museum show.
-[water pouring] -Guaranteed.
I, um...
I was promised the world when I was 22.
I was a kid.
And I actually felt like I deserved it.
You did deserve it.
Then and now.
I had to walk away, though.
Before I ever had a chance to really settle into my work.
-I mean, you were so young. -Right.
And my whole sense of my self was wrapped up in my work.
There was no separation.
So any kind of rejection was personal.
Deep.
I can understand that.
But now here we are,
30 years, pounds later... [chuckles]
walking into this office,
hearing the great Bette Porter
say to me that, that I can have it all back
if I get back on that ride.
You don't have to take that ride alone.
I will protect you.
I need you to understand that I don't know
if I would survive that journey again.
I bare my soul in my work.
My soul.
I know that.
'Cause I can feel it.
Please.
Let me take care of it.
'Cause, truly, nothing... nothing has ever
made me feel so...
seen... as your work.
And that includes the new work.
I mean, you-you are reckoning with your own queerness
and your own Blackness in-in ways that I have...
barely begun to unpack for myself.
I do it all for my son.
Whether she knows it or not, I do everything for my daughter.
Okay.
"Okay," what?
Okay, I'm in.
[Bette] I know.
I know, I can't believe it, either.
Yes, okay, yes.
We'll-we'll work out the logistics.
Yeah, I know it's gonna be a quick turnaround,
but we'll get it done.
All right, talk soon. Bye.
[phone buzzing]
[exhales sharply]
Hi, Carrie.
[crowd cheering]
We're all suckers for a good love story, right?
Well, these two...
almost make me believe that if you find the right one,
it can last a lifetime.
So it is my pleasure to introduce you
to Patty and June Healey-Waters.
[Sophie] This is the Quiet Rebellion.
I know you've been together for 43 years,
but I don't know how it all started.
-Well... -I-I was a mail carrier.
And I had an apartment on Gardner.
-What are you doing? -Hi.
We got to get out there. We're missing it.
No, no. It's playing right here.
-Oh, God. Everything's wet. -Oh.
I feel like my socks are fucking plastered to my leg.
[laughs] Get it off me.
[Sophie] So gross.
[Finley] Ow!
-Ooh, oof! -I'm sorry.
[laughing] Okay.
Oh, God, ugh.
-Hi. -Hi.
Oh, God, you look good.
We can stay back here, okay?
What are you talking about?
I want to see everybody flipping out for you.
Oh, but what if it doesn't go well?
What, are you scared?
[scoffs] Of course I'm scared.
This is the moment of my professional life.
I mean... millions of people are
gonna see this thing that I made.
Hey. Hey, they're gonna love it.
Come here.
They are.
-Hey, you want to know why? -Hmm?
It's important.
And it's also really fucking good.
That's nice.
It's true.
You're the bestest and the smartest.
-Yeah? Okay. -Yeah, you know that.
Say more stuff.
[chuckles] And the sexiest.
[both moaning]
And the best kisser.
Mm-hmm. [chuckles]
[audience cheering]
I'm so glad you enjoyed that as much as I did.
Would you like to see more of those?
-[audience cheering] -[woman whoops]
Okay, because my producer Sophie Suarez
worked her ass off on that segment,
and I am so proud of her,
so let's all give her a big round of applause!
[cheering]
All right, everybody, that's our show.
And always remember, stay gay
and say no to patchouli. Thank you!
-[cheering] -[applause]
That was good, Alice. Really good.
Real...? Oh, listen. I can't take all the credit.
I have to give it to Sophie.
I'd like to congratulate her myself.
Okay, oh, great, great, great, come on.
Uh, listen, she would love that,
because she's kind of shitting bricks in the greenroom,
-and she'll be really relieved. -[chuckles]
I always find if you surround yourself
with a more youthful staff,
it just kind of brings a life and, and an energy
to the show that I...
-[moaning] -[Sophie gasps]
[Finley] Oh, shit.
-Everything okay? -[clattering]
Yeah, they're naked. They're, um...
uh... um...
They're totally exposed.
Emotionally.
Oh, okay.
Well, maybe I can come back.
You know what? Now's not a good time, but call...
[Gigi] So I walk
by the car... thank you... car window...
-Chicken? -Sí, señora.
-Thank you. -Walk by the car window
and I see her fucking head
popping out of the sunroof.
[laughs] Oh, my God.
No, I literally...
It took everything in me not to knock on the window
and fuck with Alice a little.
You absolutely should've done it.
I mean, there will be plenty of chances.
That woman's love for public sex knows no bounds.
[sighs]
So, we gonna talk about the other night?
I was hoping to just skip over it, actually.
[laughs] Okay.
She's a "lock it in the closet
and throw away the key" type.
My favorite.
No, I just...
Um...
If you don't feel the same way, that's okay.
I'm a big girl.
I can handle it.
No, I just thought it was kind of shitty, actually.
Me telling you I have feelings for you was shitty?
Well...
I had a fucking horrible night.
To see the two of them like that, it...
-Mm-hmm. -And then...
you made me feel good.
But then I needed a friend.
So we're friends?
It-It's all just too fast. [sighs]
Okay. We can slow down.
And it's Bette.
I don't think she'll care.
I would never want someone to feel the way I did when Sophie--
I don't think Bette had very strong feelings for me.
I find that hard to believe. [chuckles]
If that's what this is really about,
you need to talk to her.
Hey, guys, what the fuck?!
-[Finley stammers] -Barry wanted to see you.
My God. He did?
I-I'm sorry.
Look, I'm so sorry. I-I-I just got really nervous and then...
Can this just be my fault?
I don't even work here anymore.
What is it about that couch?
Well, I think it's less about the couch
and more about the location of the room.
Right?
I'll stop talking.
[sighs]
You know what, I like you two together.
I do. Big fan.
I just want to see less of it.
-We can do that. -Copy. Less.
Febreze the shit out of that couch before you leave.
-Absolutely. -Copy. Febreze-ing.
[Angie] Jordi's amazing for so many reasons.
But it-it just feels like we're dealing with different stuff.
Mm. Like with my dad?
Exactly.
In the beginning she was cool.
But now she just seems preoccupied...
with other stuff.
Like prom and parties.
That seems kind of fun, actually.
Yeah, no, totally.
Um... but earlier today,
I was trying to think of questions to ask your dad
for when I meet him, which you would think would be easy,
but it's actually super hard.
Well, if you want, I can answer anything.
Or if you want help thinking of questions,
I could do that, too.
Yes, that's the type of stuff
I want her to say, but...
-she just... -She doesn't.
Yeah.
Have you ever broken up with somebody before?
Mm-mm.
Last night, called you a hundred times
Felt so alone
In my bedroom
So lost, I don't even
Know why you are feelin' just like home...
Oh, man.
What do you want for dinner?
Uh...
I could do Chinese, pizza, mac and cheese.
-Your call. -Do you know how to cook?
Yeah, I can make stuff. What do you want?
No, I just...
want to know if you can feed yourself.
Oh, I see.
-Like a test. -[Sophie sighs]
No, that's not what I meant.
Think I'm like a big kid, don't you?
Well, you...
kind of, sort of are.
Look, I know I'm not as grown up as Dani.
-Okay. -Or whatever, but my parents
kicked me out when I was 18, so...
sort of different circumstances.
I never compared you to her, okay?
Would never do that.
It's fine, whatever.
If you got doubts about me, I want to know.
I don't, okay?
It's just...
-I... -What?
Look, we just know each other in, you know, one...
way, and... I'm trying to get to know you
in a different way.
Okay. What do you want to know?
I'm an open book.
Okay... well...
hmm.
Do you want kids?
Hell yes. Like a fuck-ton of 'em.
[laughs] Okay.
What else you got?
Well... what about...
career ambitions?
Uh... [laughs]
I'm hoping this reffing kids' soccer
kind of turns into a real thing.
But...
I'm also down to be a stay-at-home baby daddy.
-[Sophie chuckles] -And, yes, before you even ask,
of course you can be my sugar mama.
Ooh... okay.
What, you want me to go to an online college?
Get a degree in the medical field?
-I can do that. -[clears throat]
-I've seen the commercials. -Mm-hmm.
Uh, or I can, uh,
donate my body to science.
You know, bunch of blood donating,
medical trials.
peppy pop music
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
- Wow - Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Oh, I don't know why I'm so stressed out.
I just want everything to be perfect.
I promise you it's gonna be a great night.
I just want to move to an island somewhere, you know?
Yeah? I don't know, I've always thought
about moving to the mountains in...
Colorado.
That's the exact opposite of an island.
It's not gonna rain, is it?
I don't know, it might. [clears throat]
Well, what do we do if it does?
We get wet.
Celebrate
Let's get together
[laughter]
Celebrate
With you and me...
-Wow, look at this. -Hey.
All right.
Look at us, all on time and shit.
-Oh, you like that? -So responsible.
Look at that.
-[Alice] Hey. -Oh, no.
It's nice to see you two dressed up.
Or wearing anything, really.
Oh. Good one. Yeah, we deserve that.
Uh, well, thanks for being so cool.
I was just really horrified by the whole thing.
Oh, my God, I've done worse, first of all.
But there's a lot of network people here,
so you can make nice.
-Okay. That's awesome. -Sounds good.
Yeah, we got it.
Wow! Hi. Okay.
Are you, are you two...?
We j... Us? We just... hang out and stuff.
Oh. Yep.
Just hanging.
-Okay... -Sounds totally believable.
[Shane] Hey.
[Alice] Pretty much all we do.
So glad you guys made it.
-Hi. -Hi.
-And you made it. -Yes.
-Hi. Good to see you. -Been a while, yeah.
Yeah, it has.
Happy to be here.
Okay, well, I live to mingle.
Really ready to work this room, so, um...
We're gonna grab a drink, yeah.
Great. You crazy kids have fun, though, huh?
Well, I'm, uh, gonna go to the bathroom.
Okay.
What's up with that?
-Nothing. -Right.
Just two friends sharing their love of trashy TV.
You come in the same car?
Yes. For the environment.
We're very into charity.
-[clears throat] -Oh, God.
Okay, it's just sex.
Look, I just, I hope you both are on the same page.
Otherwise that's gonna get messy.
I know, I know.
But it's casual. It's really casual.
That's good. What does Tom think?
What are you, Oprah?
Well, fuck me for caring about your well-being.
Jesus.
Oh, Al.
What?
-Look, look. -What?
-[Alice] Oh, my God. -That has to be Pippa.
That has to be her.
Finally.
Oh, there they are.
Hey!
Alice, Shane, this is Pippa Pascal.
-Hi! Nice to meet you. -Hi.
It is so nice to finally meet you.
Oh, well, thank you
for allowing me to crash your marvelous event.
Of course. I'm glad you could make it.
It's a really nice place to bring a date, you know?
-Good lighting, romantic... -Um, actually
we are out celebrating the fact
that Pippa has agreed to sign with the gallery.
-That's huge. -Oh, congratulations.
Thank you, thank you very much.
No, thank you, 'cause this one,
she goes on and on and on and on and on and on about you.
-Alice. -Please tell me, I would love
-to hear more about that. -I mean, that was just going on
-for months, right? -I would say years.
-No... ha, years. -Definitely years.
"I wish she'd notice me. What can I do?"
-That sounds-- -No.
[Shane] Is that Carrie?
Oh. Yeah. She called and asked if she could come,
even though Tina was out of town. I couldn't say no.
Very nice of you.
There's no reason we can't all get along.
-At separate tables. -I got it covered.
We're gonna go try to find our table.
Very nice meeting you both.
-You, too. -Pleasure to meet you, Pippa.
So, years, huh?
Well, I like her.
I have a really good feeling about those two.
Yeah.
You ever seen Dumb and Dumber?
-No. Why? -[Tess] Shane.
-No reason. -Shane.
Hi. Uh, I got to run inside.
See you in a bit.
Oh, yeah. Do your thing. Hey, where's Nat?
Do y...? Is there, like, a long line for the bathroom?
-Bathroom's right there. -Alice?
-Hmm? -Hey.
-Oh, hey, Carrie. -How are you?
-Good. -Good.
-You look great. -Thank you.
I just wanted you to know I love the show this season.
-It's fantastic. -Aw, that's really sweet.
I mean, a lesbian talk show host?
That's me.
It's unprecedented.
I know... Well, there's Ellen.
-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.
But, yeah, after that, I can't think of anyone.
It was like... road wide open.
No, you're, like, paving the way for everybody.
-Yeah. -It's ama... It means a lot
to a lot of people. It means a lot to me.
Thank you. Have you been to a talk show?
-Never. -I can get you tickets.
-Are you kidding? -No. I could do... I mean,
-I could call my producer and... -Oh, I would love it.
-Oh... -That's something. What?
I have to go to the bathroom. I have to go to the bathroom.
-Okay, nature calls. I get it. -Um...
-listen, say hi to Tina. -I will.
And also I'm gonna get you those tickets.
Thank you so much, Alice.
-And a mug, if you want a mug. -I'd love a mug.
You think Alice is the top?
No, Nat is in charge in the house.
-No. What? I can't picture that. -Yeah.
-I thought she was fucking Tom. -Me, too.
I was just gonna ask her how riding the "D" was, but she...
-Oh, God. -[Barry] Sophie!
There you are.
Barry, hi.
I'm sorry I missed you the other day.
I know, I'm sorry that I missed you, really.
The segment is phenomenal.
[exhales] Thank you.
[chuckles] Thank you so much. I'm-I'm super proud of it.
But, really, I wanted to thank you for giving me the freedom
to-to find it, you know?
It's been super fulfilling, and--
I'm Sarah Finley.
Barry.
Hey, I got an Uncle Barry.
Nowhere near as good-looking as you, though.
-I promise. -[chuckles]
I, uh, I-I watched Sophie
put that segment together, and I was... blown away.
Uh, she's... you know, heart-in-my-gut kind of feeling.
-Thanks, babe. -[Barry] Yeah. Yeah.
-Of course. -You know, I responded to it,
too, which I think is impressive
considering I'm not exactly the, uh...
-target audience. -Right, 'cause you're
a straight white man in America, Barry?
-Oh! -Hey, it's okay.
You can say it. We're in a safe space, here, Bar. [chuckles]
[laughs] Looks like we're running low.
Why don't you let me buy you two a round?
Absolutely.
[Lightminded's "Out Here Livin'" playing]
[Carrie] That's for you. Thanks so much.
-Thank you. -Carrie.
-Hey, Shane. -How you doing?
I'm good, thank you. How are you?
-I'm good. -Great.
It's a beautiful evening. You made this place look so great.
Yeah.
I don't like small talk.
I just wanted to check to see how you are.
-Me? -Yeah, you.
I'm good. Really great.
Thank you. This actually helps
take the edge off a little bit, right here.
[chuckles]
-Full disclosure, Carrie. -Yeah.
Um, took a friend to an AA meeting.
And I saw you there.
I know it's not my business, I just...
I love Tina. She's family, so
-if there's anything I can do... -Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I was there for my OA meeting.
You know, for eating, not for drinking.
At least not yet. [chuckles]
Slippery slope. I am allowed to have these.
96 calories. Vodka soda.
Cheers.
I am sorry, Carrie. I misunderstood.
No, no, yeah, I get it. I mean,
I would've thought the same thing.
You know, come on. I'm a 60-year-old woman
who's been on antidepressants half her life.
You know? It's got to be booze or food.
It's not gonna be sex, you know?
[chuckles] Although I've seen that bunch,
and they are not what you would expect.
Not my business either way.
I just, I want you to have a good night,
and-and just know the secret's safe with me, okay?
Okay. Actually, Shane, it's not really a secret, you know?
My life is kind of an open book.
Yeah, you know, I haven't been, uh...
feeling like myself.
I've needed to go to a meeting as I try to navigate your world.
-My world? What world? -Well, um...
like you, you know, just you all, I mean...
-Tina's friends and trying to... -Right. [clears throat]
-Right. -...fit in.
It won't surprise you, I don't think, to hear
that I'm still sort of struggling with Bette Porter.
[sighs] Yeah.
Look, that's a, uh... delicate situation,
and you just have to give it time.
Just every time I'm around her, Shane, I feel like
I'm a different species, you know?
-You're not. -I mean, I just,
if she got to know me,
I think she would really like me.
You got to give it time, all right?
-All right. -Just-just be patient.
Yeah, I just feel like I really want to try,
because, I mean, something's got to change.
-Go slow, all right? -Okay.
-Thank you, thank you. -Yes, yes. Okay.
-Thank you. All right. -Have a good night, Carrie.
-I'll see you downstairs. -Can I get another one quick?
[engine shuts off]
Okay, I can do this.
We can still be friends.
[phone chimes and buzzes]
[phone chiming]
What the...?
I wanna be a great one
I wanna make a billion dollars
Oh, my God.
Bring it to my pops, say, "Daddy, what you prayed for"
What is life? What is love?
What are lies? What is trust?
What is everything?
Everything is nothing without you
What is life? What is love?
What are lies? What is trust?
What is everything? Everything is nothing
Without you
Ooh, ooh
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Ooh
Everything is nothing without you
Ooh
Without you, without you
- Ooh - Ooh
What is life? What is love?
What is time? What is choice?
What is everything?
Everything is nothing without you
What is life? What is love?
-Aah! -[Jordi laughs]
I hope I am enough
What is everything?
Everything is nothing without you
Will you go to prom with me?
Yes. Yes.
Oh, my God.
Ooh, I got ahold of you
And you don't even understand
That I could break your heart in two...
Hey, Bette.
Hey, Carrie.
Mind if I join you tonight?
Oh, I would have loved that.
But I'm here with a friend actually.
-Really? -Yeah.
Okay.
It's so funny, I just had a total flashback
of my high school in Staten Island,
that when I would ask all the cool girls
if I could sit with them at lunch,
they would just, like, you know, whisper, "She's such a dyke."
Oh, God. I'm so sorry.
That was obviously not my intention.
Oh, no, I didn't mean that.
-At all. -No, no, I know. Yeah.
Well, if it's any consolation, I mean, I had
a similar experience...
-but it was soccer camp. -Yeah.
There were two girls, and they would whisper
"Nigger dyke" behind my back.
They'd try to get me to sit in the back
of the bus as some kind of joke.
Wow.
Okay.
But it pissed me off, I got MVP.
-No, good for you. -[laughs]
Anyway, we don't need to compete at
-the oppression Olympics, do we? -No, no!
-Not at all, definitely not. -No. Right. Good.
'Cause my plan was just to sort of hang out with you
tonight and see if we could maybe bond, you and me.
Uh, well, as I said, I'm-I'm here with a friend,
so tonight's not really the night.
-[lively chatter] -Seriously?
Really?
[sighs]
Look, I-I know I've been harsh in the past.
Um, and out of respect for Tina
and you and my love for Angie,
I'm-I'm completely happy to be totally civil.
But I-I think anything beyond that
is just totally unnecessary, you know?
Okay?
You know what, Bette?
On the way here tonight, I was feeling really good.
You know, I had, like, a bounce in my step.
I got this new outfit on, and...
then I was up there and I saw you.
I just want you to know,
it does not feel good to be around you.
It really doesn't.
Feels like I'm a kid in some kind of trouble.
Okay, that, to me,
sounds like that's your baggage.
-Okay. That's a good point. -Yeah.
That's a really good point. I...
I guess...
that I just wanted your, um, your blessing.
Maybe your just acceptance would be nice.
You know what, if you think what you have with Tina
is working, and you feel really good about it,
then I don't see why you would care
what I think about you.
Right?
-Right. -[Pippa] Hi.
-[Bette] Hey. -Am I interrupting?
No. Not at all.
You have a good night, Carrie.
Here you go.
-Cheers. -Yeah, indeed.
Oh, I like the way I'm movin' in my body now
My body now
Oh, oh, I like the way I'm movin' in my body now
My body now
Oh, oh, I like the way I'm movin' in my body now
My body now
Oh, oh, I like the way I'm movin' in my body now
My body now
Fire, sparks ignite
Rising from the ground, lighting up the sky
[fading] Who knows or who cares why?
[sighs]
[Nat moaning]
[stall door opens]
Hey!
Oh, Dani.
-Hey. -Hi, we were just, um...
In the stall... together.
Yeah, that, uh, tracks actually.
You might want to get a really good lather on those.
Is Gigi here with you?
No.
No, we're not...
I actually wanted to ask Bette whether she'd have a problem
if Gigi and I were to...
-Oh. No, no, no, no. -Oh!
I don't think she'd mind at all.
I don't think so. Yeah, not at all.
In fact, if you think Gigi's gonna work for you,
I mean, you know, I'd be grateful.
-You know? -[all laughing]
We'd be grateful, I think, is what she means.
Yeah, well, they just broke up,
so I want to be respectful.
No, I don't think she would mind.
Not a bit.
-Okay. -Yeah.
And, for what it's worth,
um, Gigi's really into you.
-Oh. -Yeah, I had lunch with her
the other day, and I haven't seen her
like this in a long time.
That's true.
Yeah.
[Cannons' "Fire for You" playing]
[sighs]
I was on fire for you
[indistinct chatter]
Where did you go?
I could have died for you
How could you not know?
Hey.
I come in peace.
Oh, boy.
Look, dude, I'm so fucking sorry.
No, you're not.
No, I am. Like...
I hope I didn't...
you know, fuck you up.
That's generous of you.
You're, like... I-I'm trying to be an adult,
and you're, like, the most adult person I know.
I think that says more about you than it does me.
But we're, like, the same age.
And I think the similarities end there.
You're also scary, really scary.
But I mean that as, like, a compliment.
Like, I think you're good at that.
Finley, what? What?
I just, I, um...
I... want to be better.
Like, how do I get it together?
Get a job?
Don't steal people's fiancées?
Yeah. I don't think that's it...
Okay, I don't fucking know, then.
I'm so sick of people thinking I have it together.
Because all that means is that...
unlike you...
people aren't inclined to hold me when I need it most.
And if you ever use that against me, so help me God,
I will actually kill you.
Can I hug you?
No.
Go get your girlfriend.
It's a good thing that this is a charity,
or I'd pissed about losing all that money.
Oh, no, no. It was completely worth it to me.
-Really? -To see you out of your element.
-Oh, my God. Really? -Yeah. Oh, no.
I have a very deep sense of relief
that you are very bad at something.
Oh, that just, that's not even fair.
Yeah, I'm not even ashamed to admit it.
Wow. Not even ashamed?
No.
[MOONZz's "Found You" playing]
Before you I was shooting the clock to kill time
Catching my breath, lost my mind
All of my heart, all this time
I didn't know, I didn't know
I found you
Let's get out of here.
[Nat] Yeah, we went there, like, every summer.
Tell me you went to the taco place over by the wharf.
Constantly. Oh, my God, it's amazing.
-Okay, I was working there. -When?
-Every day. -Really? Oh, my God.
We probably crossed paths. That's crazy.
-Thank you. -Well--
-Nice meeting you. -It was a pleasure.
Oh, my God, that woman at the bar asked me
if I thought you looked like Alice on TV.
[chuckles] That's funny. What'd you say?
I said you were much prettier.
That's sweet.
So, do you want to finish these and then go back to my place?
Aren't the kids, um, with the sitter tonight?
Yeah.
I... It's, like, the sneaking around thing we're doing,
it's, like, fun and it's sexy, but I just, I don't know.
All right, well, we don't have to.
Oh, God.
What is it?
Well, don't make me tell you
why this isn't gonna work.
[chuckles softly] But I thought
-we were doing this. -What's changed?
-Nothing. -Nothing.
-Right. Nothing's changed. -So...
So why would you...?
I don't know. I... It felt familiar, it felt good.
Right. It felt good.
So why-why would we stop that?
-You know exactly why. -I don't. No...
I don't know.
You know why.
[sighs]
-Are you gonna cry? -No.
-No, don't cry. -[Nat sniffles]
Butch up a little.
-[chuckles softly] -Sorry.
Don't make me laugh.
Okay, I won't.
Okay, but you were acting so weird.
Yeah, 'cause I didn't want to, like, blow the surprise.
Oh, yeah, it was definitely a surprise.
There was a lot going on.
It was awesome.
And honestly I'm kind of relieved.
What do you mean?
I thought it was getting down to the wire.
And I thought I was gonna have to go to prom alone.
-Shut up. -[Angie laughs]
[slurping]
[indistinct chatter]
Excuse me?
-Hi. -Hello. I would still like
to play some more poker. There's nobody here.
Oh, um,
we're actually wrapping up
-for the night. -Yeah? Oh, oh, oh!
I'm not done with that. Right there. Thank you.
Wow, everybody's just buzzing around here.
You know me? Did we meet?
-Yeah, we met earlier. -Yeah, I'm Carrie.
-I'm an, I'm an attorney. -Hi. Hi.
-Yeah, I'm a lawyer, so... -That's great.
I passed the bar in two states actually.
-Oh, wow. -Yeah, so, I have the money
and everything, and I would like to play some more.
It's kind of late, though.
Um, maybe I could call you a Lyft or something?
[Carrie] That would be very good because my phone isn't working
because I don't know the password.
-Hey, Carrie. -Hi, Shane.
-How you feeling? -I feel all right.
Yeah?
I bumped into Bette Porter.
Yeah?
And?
It did not go good.
I'm sorry, Carrie.
Me, too, Shane.
Me, too, but I'm just gonna...
I'm just gonna forget it ever happened.
-Are you okay? -No, I'm fine.
I'm fine. I'm absolutely fine.
Maybe we should take her home.
I mean, I don't want her throwing up in a Lyft.
Okay, so she can throw up in my car?
I mean...
Phone, can you tell me my password?
-Carrie, Carrie. -Yes?
How about we go home, hmm?
-When? Now? -Now. I'm gonna drive you home.
-You are? -Yeah, don't worry about that.
-You're gonna drive me home? -Yeah, you're on the way.
-Thank... Whoa! -Oh. You good?
-Oh, no. I'm okay. -Okay.
That was surprising.
Okay, all right, just through that door right over there.
-Okay. -You have everything?
-Will you get the chips for me? -I didn't bring my chips.
-No, no. No, no, no, no... -I have my chips.
-I'm gonna take care, I got it. -Tess-Tess has your,
-has your chips. -I'll take care of it.
[Finley] I did something naughty.
I talked to Dani.
What?!
-You did wh--? -Yeah, I did.
-No. -I did.
I told her I was sorry I fucked up her life.
[laughing] Oh, my God...
I know. It's bad, it's bad.
I just, I want it to be better for you.
That's so wrong.
What are you talking about?
I want to, like, you know,
fucking love you better, and I felt like she might have
a heads-up on how to do that.
Oh, come on, she doesn't know how to do that.
-Hey. -Okay.
You love me better than anyone.
All right? You don't know that?
-No, I guess I... -What?
[both laugh]
-Stop. -You're drunk.
You... are so charming.
Yeah, but not in, like, a good way.
Oh, come on, you charmed the pants off of Barry.
I told him he was good-looking. That's not...
Yes. Yes. And he loved it.
And you were just yourself.
You know, that's hard to do. I can't do that shit.
-Really? -Yeah.
-Okay. -Yeah.
-[snickers] -Mm.
I lose myself all the time.
[deep breath] Ooh.
I lose myself at work...
I lost myself with Dani.
But with you, it's just...
I can just be myself with you.
And I...
I don't have to think about it.
Mm. You're perfect.
Okay.
You're so perfect.
[both moaning]
Mmm, you trying to stick some tongue in, in a parking lot?
-Hell yeah. -[Finley laughs]
Mm. Mm-mm.
-[Sophie groans] -You're drunk, dude.
Mm...
You're drunk!
-[Sophie exhales] -You're drunk.
-Oh, did you, did I finish this? -Okay.
-Yeah. That act...
this actually checks out.
Are you okay to drive?
'Cause I'm... I'm about to barf.
-Shit. -Yeah, I got it, drunkie.
-You got this? -Get in the car. You got it?
-Yeah. -It's a long ten feet.
-You sure you can make it? -I... yeah.
Take your first left.
[chuckles softly]
[buzzer sounding]
You're a lot more dramatic than I thought.
I couldn't ask Bette.
Okay.
She seemed like she had something going on.
Bad timing.
Yeah. Exactly.
And...
I saw Nat and Alice.
Oh.
I mean...
who are you?
You know who I am.
But why have you been with everybody I know?
-Oh. [sputters] -I'm sorry, but...
No, that is such an exaggeration.
I know, I know, but...
can I trust you?
I'd like to think so.
Because...
I've been hurt.
What do you want?
Huh?
Is this... real?
Are you real?

[thunder cracks]
[thunder rumbling]
Jesus.
-Hey. -Hi. Okay.
Here, can you hold that?
Yeah. I got it.
-Hey, Carrie. -Do you need some help, sweetie?
-I love Tina. -Take that, take that.
Hey, I know, I know you do.
-I love Angie. -I know. I do, too.
-She's the greatest, isn't she? -She's the greatest.
-All right, watch... -She's the best.
-Yeah. -Everyone else is...
I don't know, you people are so beautiful.
I'm not like you guys.
Oh, no, no. Don't say that, Carrie. Watch your step.
Watch your step. All right, there's one more...
-I'm all right. -Okay.
Oh, boy. I wanted Bette to say that I was good enough.
But I don't even think I'm good enough.
[crying] So why did I do that?
You know? Do you think I'm good enough?
Oh. Yes, we do. You're just drunk, sweetie.
-Yeah, yeah. -No. This is not just tonight.
People have always thought
that I'm sort of a problem.
Look, Carrie, we all feel that way at some point.
We're gonna get you settled
and warm, and I promise you it's gonna be okay.
Yeah, we're gonna get you water
-and a-a cozy bed. -Yeah, yeah.
I don't think you guys understand.
You know?
I just can't live like this
the rest of my life.
I don't think I can marry Tina.
[Bette] Okay, wait for me. I'm gonna come get you.
All right, you go on ahead.
-You go in. -Okay.
Oh, th... Oh!
This is, uh, Kismet Russell's latest.
"Color Conversion." Okay.
All right, and now...
What, uh, what are you...?
Wait. You'll see. You'll see.
-[typing] -[computer beeps]
[exhales]
[gasps] Oh, damn.
[gasps] Oh.
Let there be light, yo.
Locking eyes across the silence
I think you feel it, too
Bite my tongue, turn my head
Don't wanna run to you...
I love it.
I say just have me
It's...
I know it's crazy
It's amazing.
Yeah.
Slow down
I want you, I want you so bad now
I don't wanna stop, need you to control it...
[chuckles softly]
In the heat of the moment
I gotta slow down
I gotta, I gotta slow down
I can't escape this
But I just wanna taste it
And save some for later
But then again
If you really want me
I say just have me
You make me feel crazy
Crazy
-[both panting] - I just can't help myself
Damn, I gotta slow down
I want you, I want you so bad now
[panting]
I don't wanna stop, need you to control it
'Cause I'm losin' grip in the heat of the moment
[panting]
[gasps]
I gotta slow down
I gotta, I gotta slow down...
Ah. Poor thing.
I know.
-Were you that kind of drunk? -Oh, no.
-I was much worse than that. -Really?
Oh, yeah. No, come on. She didn't break a bone
-or a dish. -[both laugh]
Well, look, seriously, thank you.
I truly couldn't have done that alone.
Shane.
I say just have me
I know it's crazy
I gotta, I gotta slow down
I want you, I want you so bad now
I don't wanna stop, need you to control it
'Cause I'm losin' grip in the heat of the moment
I gotta slow down
It's gettin' heavy, hope we're ready
What have we got into?
You kiss my neck, I pull your hair...
-What? -What?
I can't look at you?
Shit.
God, you're so hot.
Oh, now I know you're drunk.
No, I really mean it. You are.
I want you.
-Oh, yeah? -Yeah.
-Like now. -Oh, shit.
[Sophie moaning]
[exhales]
Slow down
I want you, I want you so bad now...
That feel good?
Yeah.
'Cause I'm losin' grip in the heat of the moment
I gotta slow down
[siren chirps]
Oh, shit.
[officer] Pull over.
[laughing] Oh, my God!
What?
Oh, Christ, this fucking button.
Oh, man.
God, do you think they can see in here?
I think I have some hand sanny in the glove compartment.
Fuck, I don't. Okay, that's fine.
Whatever. You can talk your way out of anything.
You're okay.
[exhales]
You're okay, right?
Right?
