-Hey. -Hey, lady.
What are you doing here, lady?
l came to see you.
What did you think?
You were good.
No, l wasn't. l sucked.
Here. lt doesn't matter if l'm good.
-Why are you doing this? -Because when l'm in there...
...it's my fucking choice when l take off my top, when wanna l show my breasts.
And it's my fucking choice when l take off my pants...
...and l show my pussy and then l stop when l wanna stop...
...and it makes me feel good because l'm in charge.
And it helps me remember all this childhood shit that happens to me.
You know, and l have to. lt's important.
Do you remember what happened to you as a child...
...that makes you not wanna...?
-What do you mean? -No. Just hear me out.
Do you remember what happened to you...
...that makes you not wanna trust people as an adult?
Yeah, l probably do.
Well, then, you're fucking lucky.
-l don't know how that makes me-- -Because you're lucky, because....
You can get on with your fucking life...
...and you're not dogged down by these oppressive childhood memories...
...and, you know, you stand a chance of being a normal, productive person.
Well, do you know what happened to you?
l don't know.
You know, like l remember things and then, like, l think, '' ls this true?
Did this stuff really happen, or am l making it up?''
Because, you know, the older l get, things--
The memory sort of becomes a little blurry and then it's like l can't--
l don't know, but-- You just don't know the truth anymore.
All right, l get that, but you don't have to do it with that.
-l know. l know l don't. -What is this?
Just know that-- l'm just saying you don't have to....
You have me. You have other people. You don't have to do this alone.
l know, l know. l know l'm not alone, but l want to.
-Just be careful. -l know.
-All right. Let's go home. -No, l'm gonna take the bus.
Promise you're gonna be safe? l'm gonna see you at home.
l got the birthing tank, but you have to put it together.
-l know they have some that-- -Yeah?
Where you just-- All you have to do is pump it up.
-Hello, girls. -What are you doing here?
Tina, l need to talk to you for a minute.
-Do you mind? -Yes, l do, actually.
Tina, l need you to have lunch with me today.
-My mother's in town. -How did you know we were here?
-Are you stalking us? -James told me where you would be.
He said you had an appointment followed by a tour of the maternity unit.
l thought you were having your baby at home.
l'm having a check-up.
lf everything looks good, l'm having the baby at home.
l don't believe James told you. He knows not to give out my schedule.
What James knows is that he wants to keep his job.
He seemed to have relatively few qualms about it.
So we're having lunch at La Terraza. She's looking forward to meeting you.
-What time does this tour finish? -l'm not having lunch with you.
And l don't like this.
We have a doctor's appointment now, so excuse us.
Tina.
lt's important, and l'd really appreciate it.
Why don't you ask one of your other girlfriends.
-That was uncalled for. -l'm sorry.
Mother's heard a lot about you. She's looking forward to meeting you.
You're one of the few people who can hold your own with her.
Everyone else just fawns all over her. lt's tedious.
Not as tedious as this is becoming. We're going inside now.
Fine.
l'll make sure they take good care of you in there.
What?
Yes.
-Come on, l'm kicking your ass. -l'm not sure l want it this bad.
Yes, you do. You wanna win this tournament.
You wanna go out a winner.
Why can't l just be a tennis player more famous for being a lesbian?
-That's okay with me, really. lt's fine. -Bullshit.
l know.
-Hi. -Hey.
-What's up? -Hey.
Yes.
l found them. l thought maybe you forgot them.
Go ahead. Put them on.
You didn't say goodbye. l woke up, l didn't know where you were.
-You knew l was training. -l know...
...but you could have woken me up or left me a note or....
Not like l'm needy. l don't need you to write me a note, l just....
Yeah, l was just mentioning it. Anyway, so....
-l'm sorry l didn't leave you a note. -Okay.
-All right, well, Lucia and l need to-- -Get her in shape.
You don't want Mauresmo making her look like a pussy.
l think after you, Lucia, Mauresmo's gonna look like a pussy.
All right, see you at the Planet. l can get you a smoothie or something.
lt's gonna be at least an hour.
-Oh, l'll be waiting. -Okay.
Don't l get a kiss for bringing your gloves? l mean, come on.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Watch yourself.
Okay.
-She really loves me, you know. -Oh, is that what that is.
Come on. Get your ass up there. Come on. Go, go, go!
Right this minute, l'm hating being a lesbian.
Well, l know some lesbians that are really good at putting things together.
Like carpenters?
Sorry. That was a throwback.
Well, maybe Davina can do it.
She makes a home visit two days before the baby's born.
Now l'm just gonna do it as a matter of pride.
-So has Kit heard from her son? -David's flying in tonight.
Uncle Leroy's too weak to travel...
...but Aunt Becca's gonna come with my cousins...
...and Mrs. Stout and Daddy's nurse, Fiona.
What about Benjamin?
Kit doesn't want him to.
She's afraid if she sees him, she'll lose her resolve.
Poor Kit. She's completely thrown herself into this memorial.
-So that's a birthing tank. -Bette, l'm having a home birth.
l think it's great that Dr. Wilson thinks it's safe.
l mean, the baby's healthy and you're in great shape.
What l meant is, l'm having a home birth...
...and l wanna have it in my home.
You mean you wanna...
-...give birth in your apartment? -No.
Are you sure? Because l've got everything so well organized...
-...and l just think that-- -No.
l want...
...to move back into our house...
...and l wanna have our baby in our home.
l want all of us to have a home together.
Helena, come. Join us, dear.
Hey! How are you?
Hello, Helena.
l'll see you later.
Helena, stop.
Come back.
Sit down.
-Come and sit down. -Don't be a petulant child.
There we go.
-What are they doing here? -Aren't you happy to see us, Mommy?
Of course l am, sweetheart.
Peggy called me and invited me to lunch...
...and l was thrilled to hear from her.
l wanted to see my grandchildren, and l apparently have missed a birthday.
-You could have called me. -l wanted to see Winnie too.
l hear things are getting ugly between the two of you.
-l won't have that, Helena. -You won't have it?
Everything you do reflects on me. Please try to remember that.
After Vladimir, l didn't think the standard was all that high.
His name was Dragomir, darling...
...and he was never meant to be a standard-bearer.
Your mother's actually incredibly generous, Helena.
You should try seeing her the way the rest of the world sees her.
And you should try seeing her the way her children saw her.
Or rather, never saw her.
-Can l get you something? -Have a bellini, darling. We all are.
And do please leave the poor-damaged-child nonsense....
...for your psychiatrist.
Not the one who's suing you, the one who's still taking your phone calls.
l'll have a bloody mary, thank you, with an extra shot.
Oh, l love these little lamby things. Don't you?
-They love you too, Peggy. -Oh, Christ.
They were so excited we were having lunch with Dama Teh Teh.
l'm not about to lose them, Helena, so l've made a proposition to Winnie.
You've propositioned everyone else, you may as well proposition my ex.
Winnie is going to have the co-op on Gramercy Park.
My little squirrelykins will live in the manner...
...to which they've become accustomed.
They're going to be able to see their Dama Teh Teh anytime they want.
Daddy.
-l'm sorry. -Thank you.
-Where's Tina? -Oh, l had her go home.
Dr. Wilson said she shouldn't be on her feet.
Yeah. Okay.
-Thank you for coming. -What's Gloria Steinem doing here?
-Your father was a great man. -Okay. Thanks.
l'm Gloria. l was a friend of your father's.
My father talked about you a lot.
-Thanks. -Hi.
-Hey. -Everything looks beautiful.
You've done such a wonderful job. Kit's lucky to have you.
Well, l'm lucky. l love my job.
And you're good at it, so....
And you look good doing it.
-We're not gonna go there. -No. No.
No, we're definitely not gonna go there.
-But you're very cute. -Shut up.
-l gotta go. -Yeah, okay.
-Bye. -Bye.
Sorry. Excuse me.
-Hi. -Hey. What's up?
-Oh, you know, just talking to Lara. -Yeah.
About what a nice job she's doing, so....
Yeah. This is kind of out of the blue--
Oh, cool. Thank you very much.
What do you think about moving in with me?
-Really? -What?
-l kind of feel like maybe we're-- -Wait. Are you serious?
-Yeah. -Al, l don't know.
You don't know? Are you having doubts about us?
No. Oh, my G-- No. lf anything, it's the opposite.
-Things are so good now-- -Do you wanna see other people?
What? Alice, where did you get that from what l just said?
l-- No-- Okay.
Thank you so much for coming. lt was really kind of you.
lt was a beautiful memorial. He certainly was well loved.
You really honoured him, Bette.
Thank you.
l'd like the rest of the week off to sort through his affairs...
...but l'll be in the office on Monday.
l'm completely up to speed.
ls there something wrong?
Now's not the time, Bette. Come and see me on Monday.
lf you have something, l would rather you told me now.
ls it the Allen Barnes exhibit?
Bette, in your absence...
...Leo has been doing a very, very good job of filling your shoes.
So good, in fact, that we've decided to keep him on.
As my coequal?
Bette, the board has decided to buy out your contract.
Are you firing me, Franklin?
-l have a baby on the way. -The settlement...
...will give you a nice little cushion...
...and time for you to figure out what you might wanna do next.
l'll tell you what l'd like to do next, l'd like to fucking murder somebody.
You, maybe. Or your friend Helena Peabody.
That's nice. That's a really nice thing to do to someone...
...while their father's dying.
You're a class act, Franklin.
We call it the Gloria Project...
...and we're collecting and taping all of her words and works.
lt would be great if you could videotape it.
Yeah, l mean, for a free ticket, l'd be totally into it.
Well, there you go, then. Eight o'clock at the Wiltern.
We're playing, Kinnie Starr, and Heart is headlining.
-Awesome. Cool. See you tonight. -Okay. Bye.
l've been begging you for 1 5 years to sleep with me...
...and it's because l care about you and l love you.
l don't want you to miss out, and l know not every feminist is a lesbian.
You're right, because l haven't slept with a woman...
...and l am definitely a feminist.
-Ditto for me. -But, you know...
...we're in a country where all feminists are lesbians.
And they think all feminists are man-haters, so naturally...
-...they're lesbians, right? -lt's really bananas.
ln my experience, it's the women who live with men who hate men.
Right.
Lesbians can take it or leave it alone. They're friends with men, right?
Another big misconception is that if you're a lesbian...
...you're automatically a feminist, whereas a lot of gay women l know...
...are absolutely not feminists, right?
That's for sure.
-Well, l like women. -Nothing....
Okay, but you have to admit that that's what guys say:
-'' l love women.'' -Well, yeah.
All right, can l just say, as someone who likes the you-know-what--
''You-know-what'' means sex with men, right?
Yeah. l didn't wanna offend you, but l like the penis.
No, no, no, you don't offend me. l like sex with men too.
Let's just say that l'm predisposed.
l bet a lot of you are predisposed, right?
Predisposed. Right here!
Hundred percent.
As far back as l can remember, me too.
Not me. l follow the heart, not the anatomy.
lt's always so complicated, isn't it?
Some people have a choice and some people don't about this thing, right?
-Yeah. -Right.
-You know what? To choice. -Right.
-To choice. Right. -Yes.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
-And to Melvin. -Yes, and to Melvin.
To Melvin.
Yeah, this should be cool. lt's a benefit for the Ms. Foundation.
-Gloria Steinem is hosting it. -Awesome. Thanks for inviting me.
All right.
Hold on.
What's this?
Okay.
Thank you.
ls it okay? No, no, no. l got it.
Sure. l don't know...
...l'm just not used to being treated like such a girl, l guess, so....
What are you talking about?
-Oh, okay. -No, l thought l'd treat you.
Oh, okay. Right. l get the difference.
-Are we ready? -Yeah.
-Did you ever get a girl pregnant? -No. Have you?
l think you'd look amazing pregnant.
Maybe we should have a baby together.
You really are the fucking scourge of the universe, aren't you?
-Hello, Leigh. Nice to see you. -l'm sorry, are you talking to me?
l don't know, did you ever even care about Tina?
lf you did, you wouldn't have done what you did. lt affects her too.
Did you stop to think about that?
You're under a misapprehension if you think l did that.
-Bullshit. -What are you talking about?
Hello.
-Why, Bette Porter. -Peggy Peabody.
Are you here by yourself? l'm feeling a bit of a gooseberry...
...between these two horny lovebirds.
Actually, l'm here with my partner, Tina.
Tina.
Tina? Didn't you just have a Tina?
Or is that the new popular name for lesbians?
Actually, Mummy, it's.... lt's the same Tina.
Oh, dear.
Did anyone happen to see the Surrealist show...
...at the Met a few years back?
Desire Unbound. lt was brilliant.
Brilliantly curated. The Man Rays were completely brilliant.
Fuck brilliant. l'm talking about how those people fucked.
Those Surrealists fucked a lot, and it's well documented.
Éluard the poet was with the beauteous Gala.
And then Gala slipped off and seduced Max Ernst...
...who thought he was very much in love with Louise.
Then Gala ended up with DalÍ...
...and that left Éluard and Louise to share another woman...
...the very strange Denise Lévy, who was being courted and boinked...
-...l believe, at the time, by.... -Breton.
Breton, yes, and boinked by Péret.
Well, at least they wrote fabulous, tortured...
...sick love poems to one another.
Yes, Mummy, because that absolutely redeemed them.
Well, you know, all that fucking with no art is really rather dreary.
l hope you girls write fabulous, sick...
...neurotic, tortured love poems to one another.
l'm actually working on several right now.
-Send me one, would you, Bette? -Hey, Bette?
Hello. l'm so sorry to interrupt.
Tina's still in the bathroom, and l think she needs your help.
-Excuse me, Peggy. -Yes.
Baby, are you okay?
l think my water just broke.
Oh, my God.
Hi, Davina. lt's Bette Porter.
l am in the bathroom of the Wiltern Theatre with Tina...
...and a huge puddle of water.
-Kit, Kit, Kit. Hi. -Hey.
-How are you? -Good, girl.
Good. Okay, Bette wanted me to tell you that she and Tina had to leave...
...and that everything is going to be okay.
-Well, what happened? -Tina's water broke.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God. Come on, we've gotta go.
Mom, sit down. They've got hours to go.
Yeah. Plus, she said that she wants you to stay...
...and she wants you to enjoy the concert...
...and that she's gonna call you as soon as she can. Okay?
-Okay. -Oh, congratulations!
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to an evening of music and performance...
... to benefit the Ms. Foundation for Women.
Please welcome this evening's host, Gloria Steinem.
Remember when Emma Goldman said:
'' lf there's no dancing at the revolution, l'm not coming''?
Well, tonight we have both.
Thanks to Betty, thanks to Heart, we have the music...
...and thanks to all of you, we have the revolution.
And we are going to need it...
...because there is a guy in the White House who represents...
...all those religious extremists that people came to this country to escape.
That's because there's a backlash...
...against all the great social-justice movements...
...and if we hadn't had a frontlash, we wouldn't now be having a backlash.
So we're just gonna keep going and do it more and better.
We're going to not only vote, but reform the way we vote.
We're going to contribute not only when we're asked...
...but every time we pay our bills.
We're not only going to change women to fit the world...
...but change the world to fit women...
...and we are going to become the change we want to see in the world.
So first tonight, then the world.
She's got a mother A daughter and a lover
You tell me why She shouldn't have safe cover
Yes, she's got a mother A daughter and a lover
Boy on the streets Got his eyes pinned onto me
Do you think you might wanna come over after this?
For a little while?
The shades, sizes Handprints, shoe fits
And off with the underwear My dreamy smell lies there
For a little bit.
He penetrates me with his stare This is not fair
Because he penetrates me With his stare
Thank you.
Can l ask you something?
When you said ''too fast,'' what did you mean?
Like, because you and Tonya moved in together after, like, two days.
Yeah, l know. That was part of the problem.
l like this. l like-- l like--
-l like you, l like us, l like the way-- -You like me?
l'm crazy about you, you know that.
Just, you know, the other day, you freaked me out.
l can't believe you just said you like me.
-Freaked you out how? -What?
You said l freaked you out the other night. Where? What? When?
No, it was when l had dinner with Lara that night...
-Yeah? -...it just seemed like it, you know....
-What? -Seemed like it made you a little crazy.
-Crazy? -Ladies and gentlemen...
...please welcome Heart!
l don't think l can take any more of this.
Yes, you can. lt'll be fine.
l'm right here, and Davina's here now too, okay?
You might wanna think about getting in the tub, Tina.
Come on. l've got you.
l got you.
Can you get in? You got it?
There you go.
Let me get this.
-You made me feel terrible. -l'm sorry.
You made me feel so bad.
Well, l said l'm sorry. l was just telling you how l feel.
lt's not like it's your fault, it's just-- Maybe l'm making myself feel bad...
...but l'm turning into someone l can't stand.
Who, your mother?
-Fuck you. l can't even talk to you. -Alice--
Come here. l'm sorry, okay?
That was not even close to funny.
-l'm sorry. -Look, l didn't even....
l didn't know l was turning into someone who was smothery...
...and needy and co-dependent. l mean, gross.
-l can't think of anything worse. -Maybe l shouldn't have said anything.
No, l'm glad you said something.
Look, l mean, things have gotten super intense between us super fast and l....
l've never felt this way. l don't know. lt's making me act weird.
l think it's good.
lt's not if l get too attached to it. lt's--
-What? Why? -Well, l feel like--
l feel like that guy with the mouse...
...and, you know, he loves the mouse and he holds--
-What are you talking about? -He loves the mouse so much--
-Oh, the-- Right. -Yeah.
-l don't wanna be like that. -Well, then, don't. Don't....
Don't be Lenny. Don't smother the mouse.
Just let it breathe, Alice.
And the worst thing is, l can't even call my best friend and talk to her about it.
l know.
Bette, you can put your fingers there to see if you can feel anything.
Okay.
Oh, my God. l feel something.
Let's take a look.
-Here. You lean back on me. -Easy. Come on.
-Okay. -Just ease right up.
The baby's head is right there. She's getting ready to join us.
This should probably breathe.
l'm gonna go. Okay, bye.
No.
l don't want you to go.
l miss the way you smell.
Roll her onto her side to take pressure off.
-Come on, roll over. Come on. -You can do it.
Yeah. There you go.
-What is that? -That's meconium.
lt means the baby's in distress.
l have to recommend we move this to the hospital.
-No. -Tina, l know this isn't what you want...
...but for the baby's safety, we're gonna have to.
l love you.
Hi.
Her fever is rising. Can you give her something?
We've got everything under control, okay? Don't worry.
-Don't let her die. -lt's gonna be okay. l promise.
l promise. l swear. lt's gonna be okay.
Can you hurry up?
Cutting at 0600, lower-end retractor.
lt wasn't supposed to be this way.
-l failed you both. l'm so sorry. -You didn't fail anybody.
-You're amazing. You're amazing. -l'm sorry.
-She's almost here. lt's okay. -l'm sorry.
She's almost here. She's almost here.
And there she is.
Wait, l wanna cut the cord.
lt's not allowed in the operating room because of sterilization.
The cord has to be cut by a member of the surgical team.
l wanna cut the cord.
Go ahead. Let her cut the cord.
l'm gonna cut the cord now.
Oh, my God, T.
-Angelica. -What, baby?
That's what l wanna name her.
Angelica.
Losing blood pressure.
-Tina? -More packs.
-Tina! -Mother's temp is 1 05.
All right. Get the baby to special care for observation and get her cultured.
-She might have an infection. -Yes, doctor.
Let's get the mother stitched up quickly as possible and over to lCU.
Yeah, l got your message and.... l don't know.
l'm speechless. l can't believe it.
Yeah, no, we're-- We're leaving.
We'll be there in like 20 minutes, so don't go anywhere, okay?
All right, tell Bette and Tina we'll be there soon.
All right. All right. See you there. Bye.
Hey, Jenny?
Hold on. Jen?
Jenny.
Let it go.
lt's all right, Jenny.
Honey.
Jenny.
All right.
-We're gonna get you help. -Okay.
We'll get you help, okay?
Fuck. l need help...
...don't l?
l'm really fucked up.
We'll get you help.
All right?
Okay.
No.
You've gotta leave it to stop the bleeding.
Oh, fuck.
-Wanna hear some good news? -What?
What?
Tina had her baby.
She did?
No.
Are you serious?
She had a little baby girl.
Oh, my God.
ls she okay?
That's beautiful.
That's great.
Oh, my God.
Come here.
They kept us outside until visiting hours.
Oh, my goodness.
Where's Tina?
She's still in recovery.
ls she okay?
-Yeah, she's gonna be fine. -She is?
l'm just waiting for them to bring her down here so she can see her baby.
She hasn't even met her baby yet.
This is Angelica.
Hi, Angelica.
Oh, hi, sweetie.
Oh, my goodness.
You wanna hold her?
Hi there. You're okay.
You're so cute.
Hi, little one.
You are so beautiful.
Look at its feet.
You have tiny feet.
Oh, Angelica.
Oh, sweetie, you are gonna have...
...a very, very interesting life, you know that?
Because we are some very, very interesting people.
Yeah.
Okay.
This is your family.
