Previously on The L Word.
- Fuck! - This is beneath you.
I'm not interested in Shane for her political world views.
I want you to meet Clea Mason.
- Hey. - Okay.
I want to get one of those little scooters that you had.
I could take you for a ride on mine.
Yeah.
Enough! Cut it off.
There are 25 more copies.
What is it that you want, Adele?
Would you please escort Miss Schecter off the lot?
Please come with me.
I'm sorry. I know how much that must hurt.
She's dead to me.
I never killed anybody.
- You didn't? - Tax fraud.
I hid the money. I'm going to get my friend out of prison,
and we're going to go somewhere.
Does the name Ivan Aycock ring a bell?
You saw Ivan?
She couldn't have been happier to unload her 51% of The Planet.
We own this place.
You and I are just fundamentally different.
We have different core values.
So, we think it's a strong first cut.
It's still very rough.
I'm working on the order of some of the scenes.
So, what are you thinking about prints and ads?
Well, we're going to give it a good push.
P&A, 30-second spots, we're thinking about a feminine hygiene tie-in.
We think the film needs a platform release.
We think this is a film that needs to find its audience.
Well, we don't think of it as a niche movie.
Neither do we. We want everyone in America to see it.
Right. We're just so thrilled to have a major distributor.
Of course. It's not just a gay movie. It's for everybody, the four quadrants.
- But there's one hiccup. - It's minor.
What's the hiccup, guys?
- The ending. Marketing says it won't test. - What do you mean, it won't test?
Test with who?
Peoria. You know, the fly-over states, Nebraska, Florida, Orange County...
I mean, it won't test. Like, lesbians are cool and sexy now...
But we need them to be relatable too.
We think the girl... What's her name? It's the Niki Stevens character.
- Jesse. - Jesse.
We think Jesse should go back to her boyfriend in the end.
- What? - No way.
Just think about it. Give it some thought.
You know, Angie's preschool is only seven minutes from my house.
Do you really like the Westside?
Yeah, I mean, it's pretty great. The air is cleaner.
You're near the ocean. You get a little walking life.
Are you going to honk the horn?
- No, we're not going to honk the horn. - No. I'm getting really...
- Are you saying I should sell my house? - I didn't say that.
I know, I just meant, if we got together.
I mean, once we decide...
Let's hear Mama Bee's speech. Come on. Do your speech.
Really?
Well, there is this one part that I'm not really sure if...
"It's not just that she's a woman, though she undeniably is.
"Jodi makes art with found industrial materials
"in a way that no one, man or woman, ever even thought of doing."
That last part, that sounds a little bit sexist.
I know, I know.
But I thought it was important to underline the fact that she's a woman.
- In a way, I don't... - Yeah, that's good, go for it.
You're a great writer, you'll know how to say it. It'll be good.
- Have you talked to her? - No. No.
But I did speak to Serena Dean, who's the curator of the show,
and she said Jodi's piece is amazing.
Jodi.
We have to find a way to have Jodi in her life. They're very bonded.
I just... I think it would be just too confusing.
I mean, it just blurs the boundaries and it's...
- Whoa! - Look at that. She looks amazing.
Look, sweetie, it's Alice!
The light's green, go. Hey!
Go, asshole! Come on!
Iris!
Follow up with all of my attorneys, including London and Hong Kong.
Get the estate manager, the director of the Peabody Foundation
and get my daughter!
I'm right here, Mummy!
What on earth are you wearing?
Did you sleep well?
- You? - Yeah.
- We should get up. - Why? I think that's a terrible idea.
We have breakfast with your mother.
Jesus.
Tash? Made you coffee.
It's a cute picture.
Fuck you.
Want some breakfast?
No, I don't have time.
Why haven't they got an antidote?
I mean, surely, if one exists and they have the wherewithal...
Helena, everything is being handled.
This is an Irukandji Jellyfish.
They say that the venom is frequently lethal.
Now, before I die, there are some things I want to say to you.
First of all, about your clothes...
Mummy, you're not going to die.
I very well might.
And before I do, I want to know that you're situated.
I'm very well situated, thank you very much.
A drab little hut in the dregs of Tahiti
with the tax-evading granddaughter of a vanilla-pod picker
doesn't strike me as "situated."
Helena, the Peabodys are keepers, not only of a vast fortune, but of a legacy.
Mummy, I'm not interested.
It really isn't a proposition, Helena. You are my sole beneficiary.
Now, I've arranged for Davis and Brewster to review all the estate holdings with you.
The Foundation is in very good hands with Alva Watkins,
but at some point, you just must take an interest in the day-to-day.
Mummy, I'm going to go and talk to your doctors,
find out exactly what's going on about getting this elusive remedy of yours,
because I have a standby return ticket.
It's going to cost me $75 if I need to change it.
So what kind of photography are you thinking? Nature?
- No. - Abstract?
Nature? No.
I like portraiture. Maybe fashion, maybe... Something like that.
That's such a good idea. You have a great eye.
- You think? - Yeah, you should totally do it!
Well, I want to go to school first, but then, we'll see.
Fuck school. Why do you want to go to school?
You don't think I can handle the school?
Of course I think you can handle it,
but I don't think you need to go to school,
I think you need to go to work.
Yeah, but before I go to work, I'd rather learn...
I don't know. I'd like to learn technique. I'd like to learn what I'm doing.
I'd rather not schluff it off.
I think any school that didn't take you
would be completely missing out and stupid.
You think?
- Shit. - What?
I think she's seen worse. Who's that woman?
Come on!
Joyce.
- I'm not going on a lesbian double date... - Yes, you are. Come on. Come on.
- Be an adult, be mature. Come on. - Hey, girls!
Molly, I want you to meet Joyce.
- Hey, nice to meet you. - Hi, Shane.
- Yeah, I'm not shaking your hand. - Molly.
She tried to ruin my father. Remember?
Would you excuse us for one second? Come here. Come here.
I don't know what's gotten into that girl.
Listen, what happened between your parents
is what happens in pretty much every divorce.
They got through it. Didn't they?
- Sort of. - Yeah, sort of, but they did,
and you know it.
And so now your mother deserves happiness
as much as anybody else.
Give her that.
My father said she's the most ruthless lawyer he's ever met.
- She's a lawyer! - She's the antichrist.
I'm sure as shit not having breakfast with her. I'm sorry, no.
Well, if I recall, your mother wasn't too thrilled about you seeing me.
And now we're all here to eat together. Right?
Come on. You're not alone. Let's go.
- All right. Okay. - Come on.
- Hi. - Hey!
- Hungry? - Yeah.
- Good. - Little bit.
Kit, this is very exciting.
George Charles is South Beach's top interior decorator
and my good friend,
and we both agreed that
that moon of yours was a bit ridiculous, so...
But he does love the space. Right?
It has great bones.
Yeah. I hope you choke on them bones.
Well, a girl goes away for a couple of months,
and everything changes.
Girl! Girl! Girl!
- Good to see you. How are you? - Oh, girl.
You're obviously doing well enough to remodel,
but you're not going to change it too much, are you?
- Oh, girl. - I loved it as it was.
This has nothing to do with me.
They're taking it over.
- What? - Yeah. Okay, never mind.
What are you doing here? We so missed you. We so missed you.
I missed you, too. My mother's in the hospital.
Yeah, I think she's going to be all right, but it's a little touch and go right now.
Really? Well, come on. Let's have some coffee...
- Yeah, okay. - ...and chat.
- Do you have cookies? - Yeah, girl, and I know,
I remember how you like it.
Molly, I wanted that internship so bad I could taste it,
but I didn't have the scores.
What score's that?
LSAT. It's the test you take to get into law school.
Well, you've done pretty mighty fine for yourself, my dear.
Well, did you get a good grade?
Yes, Molly scored in the top 2% nationally.
- Big fucking deal. - It is a big fucking deal.
It's one of the reasons you got the internship.
I don't want the internship.
I'm spending my summer with Shane. We're going surfing in Honolulu.
Wait, wait a second.
You never told me that this Supreme Court intern thing
is in the summer.
You are not giving up a Supreme Court internship to go surfing.
It's what I want to do.
Molly, if you're doing this to get back at me...
Mom, I'm not doing this to get back at you.
I am so beyond that. I'm accepting your life choices.
And if you and Joyce decide to get married,
I hope you invite me and Shane to the wedding.
All I ask is the same respect from you.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Girl, so, you got room for one more?
I might be joining you and Dusty in Taha'a. I'm not kidding.
It's pretty remote, Kit.
And I'm not sure that I'm going to stay there forever.
I mean, Dusty's great, but...
I kind of miss this place.
- Girl... - I miss all of you.
We missed you so much. You have no idea.
It wasn't the same without you.
Let me tell you, it has been crazy around here.
I don't understand. Where did these women come from?
From hell via Miami Beach.
Dawn Denbo and her servant-maid Cindi.
Excuse me. Sorry.
I'm just... I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
You want to say you're sorry? You?
I know it doesn't make a difference,
but I hate what she's doing, okay? I do.
I would've tried to stop her, but she's crazy.
Cindi? Babe.
I need you to do a few things. Can you get over here, please?
- Thanks. - I need you to go over to SheBar
and I need you to wait for the liquor delivery.
And I got a meeting this afternoon,
so you're going to have to set up without me.
Okay? Can you do that?
Seriously. Can you go now? Because they're waiting at the delivery.
Thank you. Nice face. Thank you.
I quit.
Well, I figured, when you called me to meet you down here.
Crazy.
- Who are you meeting, anyway? - My friend JJ.
- Who's that? - We went through basic together.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah. She's a cop.
She is? Cop, huh?
- There they are. - Where?
I want you to meet them. Come on.
What's up, y'all?
Hey, get your ass over here, Williams.
- Fucking Williams. - What's up?
- Alice, this is JJ. - Hi. I'm Alice. Nice to meet you.
- This is Karen. - Hi.
- Holy fucking shit. - What?
- I know you. - You do?
"I'm Alice Pieszecki, and you're watching The Look."
You are so cool!
Oh, my God, I love the way you handled that ass, Mary Lamm.
Is she really such a doofus? Or is that...
No, she's a doofus. Yeah, totally.
Alice, can you join us for lunch?
I have somewhere to be, but thank you very much. Yeah.
Okay, well, have a good time. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
- Oh, man! Williams! - All right.
Hey, Alice, could I have your autograph?
- You want my autograph? - Yeah, please?
- What's your name again? - Karen.
Karen. Yeah.
- This is so cool. - I have to work on my signature.
- Okay. Nice to meet you. Bye. - Bye.
- Oh, my gosh! She's awesome. - Nice!
- Yeah. - Oh, my goodness.
Sorry.
How's the movie going? Let's talk about that.
Well, this is good. We got distribution.
- Wow! - Major studio.
- That's great. - Yeah.
I can't... I mean, I believe it, but that's wonderful.
We just have to work on a few details.
- I'm very, very happy. - Good.
- Can I tell you something? - What?
Niki came into my trailer the other day, and she was crying.
Really? Why?
She says you won't return any of her calls.
- No. - She comes up to me after every take
and she says, "Do you think Jenny would have liked that?"
Or she'll say, "Do you think that's what Jenny meant when she wrote it?"
- Does she really say that to you? - She misses you.
Well, I don't want to be with someone who's afraid to be who they are.
- I think it's pathetic. - She has a lot to lose.
Well, so do I. I don't have a career anymore.
- My agents just dropped me. - What?
That's terrible. I'm sorry.
You'll get another agent. You're good. You will.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine. I'm just a...
- Think I should call Niki? - I don't know.
Jesse.
Jesse?
- Jesse, stop! - What do you want?
I love you.
Vipers don't love, Karina. They poison.
You used me as a pawn in your twisted relationship.
I mean, how many girls have you and Frances destroyed
in order to tell your sordid stories as foreplay, huh?
- You don't understand. - I understand.
I understand enough to know that I despise you.
You're the only one I ever felt this way about.
You're a liar. A fucking liar!
Okay, that's really good. Let's cut.
Okay, that's a cut. Thank you.
Tina, can I talk to you for a minute?
Sure.
What's up?
Adele wants you off the set.
What?
She has asked me to have you removed from the set.
She said she can't work with you looking over her shoulder.
- You gotta be fucking kidding me. - No.
I know.
- Thanks, Sally. - Yeah.
What is this?
Well, loyalty is very important to me, Tina,
and I understand that your loyalty is to Jenny.
You guys are old friends.
But you should understand that I can't have you on my set doing her bidding.
What makes you think I'm doing Jenny's bidding?
Don't insult me, Tina.
I know you had lunch with her this afternoon.
I know that you speak with her regularly.
And I know that you understand that it makes it
really difficult for me to do my job while you're on my set.
Adele, I'm the producer of this movie, okay?
I busted my ass putting it together.
Why would I let you kick me off the set?
Because you want this picture on schedule and on budget?
So fucking insane.
It's so awful.
This woman, she utterly deceived Kit.
It's like she's some sort of small-time petty con artist.
She virtually stole The Planet out from under her.
Why don't you buy it back?
What did you say?
Every lowlife has a price, Helena.
And, most likely, a peccadillo or two that can be easily discovered.
If she needs a little persuading...
Isn't that extortion, Mummy?
I thought you were against me using money to buy my friends.
Didn't these people stand by you when you had absolutely not one red cent?
My friends? Yeah, they did.
You wouldn't be buying friendship from them
if you already have it.
I really wish you would try to evince some more clear-headedness, Helena.
Mummy, you're the one who's not being very clear.
I mean, first of all, you take away all my money from me...
It wasn't your money.
It was mine.
I had to be sure
that you wouldn't make a fool of us with it.
It's undignified
to always lead with the bankbook, Helena.
What makes you think I'm any more dignified now, Mummy?
To tell you the truth, I don't know that you are.
But I have to leave all my fucking money to someone,
and I'm not going to leave it to my Lhasa apsos.
Well, talk about undignified.
So, what would you want me to do with all your fucking money?
As is your wont.
Spend it willy-nilly.
Buy your friend a nightclub.
Buy her two.
This is so much faster than I thought it would be!
Like, this is so crazy. Oh, my God.
I mean, it's like a bicycle...
- Ma'am, I just need to see your license. - ...but electric.
Well, is everything okay?
Yeah, sure. No.
As long as you're home in time to get ready for Jodi's thing tonight,
it's fine, yeah.
I'm sorry you got a ticket.
- Yeah, well. - It sucks. The LAPD can be total pigs.
- I kind of hate them. - Yeah.
So...
Was that your girlfriend on the phone?
Yeah. It was.
That's a little bit disappointing for me.
Me, too.
God, that sounded bad.
It's the most natural thing in the world
to meet someone and be attracted to them.
You know?
Even if you're in a relationship with somebody else?
Well, people do it all the time.
I mean, clearly, it's not against our nature, but...
Right.
I don't know, maybe it's designed to teach us something.
What, that the relationship's in trouble?
Well, not always. I mean...
I don't know anything about your relationship.
I think it might be in trouble.
I can't.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
Have you ever been in my situation?
- Yeah, once. - Really? What'd you do?
I had a really
great love affair.
But I broke someone's heart and I caused a lot of
just general chaos and destruction. So...
Yeah. Sounds good.
My friend Helena says,
"Whatever starts in chaos, ends in chaos." So...
Yeah. Your friend knows what she's talking about.
I promised myself that I would never do that again.
- But you just tried to kiss me. - Yes.
- That didn't really work out, did it? - Yes.
It's very difficult to stand by your convictions
when someone who's, like,
sexy and smart and amazing, who you're super-attracted to,
is, like, this far away from you. You know?
I just left a message with Sally.
She'll call me if anything goes wrong.
I'm just so impressed that you're keeping your cool about it.
What else can I do? We just have to get through tonight.
We wrap at 4:00 a.m., and then tomorrow's the party.
Do you have to go to the party?
Yeah, I want to. It's my movie.
And there's no way that I'm going to let Adele win.
Yeah, well, I'll be there with you.
I wish I could be there with you tonight.
I'll be fine.
I think I wrote a pretty good speech.
They're shooting my favorite scene of the whole movie.
It's the last scene.
It's when Jesse finally ends it with Karina once and for all.
Her heart is broken,
and she thinks there's no way she's ever going to love again.
Well, because Karina was her first love,
and everyone always thinks that when their first love leaves them.
Yeah. You were my first, and I thought I would die.
- I never left you. - Yes, you did.
But then you came back.
So did she write a happy ending?
Yeah.
She did. She wrote such a great ending.
It's like Jesse's life is just beginning.
And Jenny... Oh, my God. Who would've thought?
But she pulled it together and she wrote this amazing ending.
It was such a positive message for young, gay women.
It's great.
I'm sorry you can't be there.
It's okay. It's not important.
What is important?
You. Us.
So, do you think Angie should have a baby sister or baby brother?
What?
- Hi! - Hey.
- Guess what I just did. - What?
I signed up for the police academy.
- For the LAPD? - Yeah.
JJ took me down. She teaches one of the training courses.
They love the fact that I'm ex-military.
And they're really pro-gay. They even have domestic partner benefits.
You want to be a cop?
Well, I filled out all the paperwork already.
I have my first screening next Wednesday.
- Is this okay? - Yeah. I was just...
There's a lot... It looks like you have a lot to learn.
- Yeah. - It's great.
It's great. I'm happy for you. If this is what you want, I mean, yeah.
- I'm actually really excited. - Good.
Good.
Yeah.
Excuse me?
Hello? I hope I'm not intruding?
No. What can I do for you?
I have a proposition, and I think it might be of interest.
- Well, Dawn's not here right now. - No. It's a proposition for you.
Maybe we can talk somewhere privately?
Yeah.
Bette. I'm so relieved you came.
After Jodi told me what the piece was about...
- Larry. Larry? Do you know Larry Pittman? - Of course.
- It's nice to see you. - Hello, Larry.
Serena.
About the piece, what? What were you saying?
Larry, I want you to meet...
Phyllis.
So are you gonna go to the wrap party tomorrow night?
- No. - Are you?
- No. - Yes, I want you to go.
You've worked so hard, and it's going to be a fun party.
No.
Look, you should go, and you should support Tina.
I want you guys to go to represent me.
Hi! This is so exciting!
I didn't know you were such a big deal.
- Please go. - No, no.
- You really want me to? - Yeah, I do.
Thank you so much for coming. It means so much to me, you guys.
Hey, guys.
I'm really excited to see your sculpture.
It's just that I'm actually a little bit nervous, and...
Well, I heard the piece is really...
See you guys.
See you guys inside.
Ouch.
- Come. - All right, let's go in.
- Do you want to come? - Yeah. Do you want to go in?
- Come on. - I wanted to thank you for this morning.
I don't know what you said to Molly to get her back to the table,
but I really appreciate it.
- No problem. - If you have a minute, could we talk?
- Yeah. Okay. - Cool. Very good.
You haven't met Molly's sister, Sophie. She's a great girl, too.
- Solid, sturdy. - Yeah?
- You're lucky you have two great kids. - But Molly...
- Molly's exceptional. - Yeah.
And I'm saying this not as her mother,
but as the chancellor of a major university.
Molly is one of the most brilliant students I've ever encountered.
- I'm not surprised to hear it. - And you're not worthy of her.
Excuse me?
In the first place, this summer internship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
First of all, Molly is a grown-up, and I'm not telling her what to do.
This is not just about the damn internship.
I know you know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, Phyllis, and what I know is that I'm crazy about her.
Bette says you're not the kind of person any caring mother
would want her daughter to have a relationship with.
I don't buy it, Bette would never say that.
She says you'll be up and after the first little hottie
who shakes her booty at you.
And you know your friend Alice,
she told me that the longest relationship you've ever had is six months.
You proposed to some poor girl and left her at the altar.
Even your friends think you're bad news, Shane.
You know what would really suck, though,
is if you do the same thing to my daughter.
Are you going to throw Molly away like a piece of garbage?
- No. - How do you know?
How can you be sure you're not going to find someone else
you can't keep it in your pants around?
Phyllis.
You know that is not fair to say, because no one knows that until it happens.
Most of us possess a certain amount of self-knowledge, Shane.
Have you ever heard the expression "past is prelude"?
No, of course you haven't.
This is not just about Molly's summer plans.
Don't fuck my daughter over.
If you even think you love her, spare her.
Don't turn her into another one of your heartbroken victims.
Thank you so much for coming. It means the world to me. Really.
I wouldn't miss this for the world.
That's sweet.
I'm really honored to be here.
I can't wait to see it.
And you look phenomenal.
Shane.
How are you?
- I miss you. - I miss you, too.
I want you to know, I didn't know anything about...
It's okay.
- Don't be a stranger. - Don't you be a stranger.
Welcome, everybody. Welcome to the Hammer Museum.
I'm Serena Dean, the curator of this exhibition.
Ann Philbin's sorry she couldn't be here tonight,
but we're thrilled and excited
to present a new piece by sculptor Jodi Lerner.
She made this for our "artists working in new media " series.
And here to introduce her is the Dean of the School of Arts
from California University, Bette Porter.
Thank you.
From the first moment
she rocked the art world in the mid-'90s with her massive steel sculptures
of female body parts and domestic objects,
Jodi Lerner has redefined the landscape of sculptural expression.
And it's not just that she's a woman, though she undeniably is.
Jodi makes art with found industrial materials in a way that no one,
man or woman, ever even thought of doing.
I am repeatedly in awe of her fearless choices,
her total immersion in her process,
her audacity, which borders on defiance,
and her works of art which actually seem to extrude from her subconscious mind.
She has made me believe, all over again, in the redemptive power of art.
It's been a gift and a privilege to ha ve her as our artist-in-residence at CU.
And an even greater gift, ha ving her in m y life.
And now, with this installation at the Hammer,
she is giving a gift to our city.
Please welcome Jodi Lerner.
Thank you.
This piece is called "Core"
because it's about core values.
Love.
Loyalty. Honesty.
And commitment.
I love you.
I love you. I love you. What happened? What happened?
Fuck me, fuck me.
What happened? I love you. Go without me.
Go without me. Go, go, go... Go without me.
Lea ve me alone. No. Just don't. Lea ve me alone. Go without me.
But I love you. Go without me.
Lea ve me alone. Lea ve me alone.
Fuck me. Fuck me. Fuck me. This is not a good time, okay?
No. Just no. Lea ve me alone. Lea ve me alone. Go.
No. Just go. Go without me. Stop. Stop.
Please. Just stop. Stop! Stop.
Holy shit. There's that gorgeous woman.
Hi. How you doing? Welcome to my club.
I'm Dawn Denbo. This is my lover, Cindi.
I don't think we've seen you here before. Have you been in the club before?
Hey!
Fucking Shane.
Yeah, you know Helena Peabody, right?
Yeah. You know, more importantly, how in the fuck did you get past my door?
Because, you know what? You skanks, you really need to leave now.
All right? Even though you have a stunner of a little friend here. Hi.
Wait a minute. Helena Peabody. Wait, isn't your mom the...
She's telling us to leave?
- I'm afraid you can't do that. - Really?
Why can't I, pretty little rich girl?
Fucking Porter. What?
We own this place.
- What the hell are you talking about? - Yeah, baby.
Here's your letters of your two primary investors.
Who were more than happy to sell to us at a profit.
Especially when they found out that you'd leveraged them within an inch of a felony.
What the hell? Where did you get this? This is confidential.
What the fuck did you do?
- Who, me? - Yeah.
How could I do anything when I don't have a thought in my head?
That's what you tell people, right?
That she doesn't have a thought in her head.
Yeah, this is the thought in your head? This is what gets...
Get your dirty, little hands off her, Denbo!
Why should I?
Because she's with me.
By the way, the name's Tucker.
It's not "her lover, Cindi." It's Cindi Annabelle Tucker.
Would you like to go dance in your new club?
Yes, I'd love to.
I was done with you anyway. Bye. Have a good time.
Why are you still in front of me? What?
You can go home or you can stay.
You can do the dishes. You can do the floor.
- We got a lot of glasses to pick up in here. - That's funny, Porter. You're a riot.
Hey, guess what? It's not over! Seriously.
What's this? Skanks 'R' Us? Fuck you! How about that?
All right. Kiss my ass. Yeah.
Bye. See you soon.
Could you get me a drink?
Yeah. Sure.
- You're Vanessa, right? - Right.
- You remember me? - Yeah. Shane.
- How are you doing? - Good, I'm just looking for my friends.
Hey, well, listen, if you ever want to do something,
I have the same number.
- I never had your number. - You didn't?
Well, then I'll call you.
What was that?
- What? - You were flirting with that girl.
- So? - So I'm right here.
Molly, let's get real.
You and I had a lot of fun, but you're going to school...
Wait! No. No, stop. I know what you're doing.
I'm not doing anything.
You are, you're freaking out, and you're scared,
and you owe it to me and to you to give this a chance.
Molly, I'm not freaking out. I never promised you anything.
Yes, you did. In bed this morning, when you kissed me,
when you held me, those were promises.
Well, then...
Well, then, I guess you misunderstood me.
So, what do girls do now? Throw their drink in your face?
- Yeah, sometimes they do. - I'm not going to do that.
You don't deserve that. You deserve compassion.
But I'm not going to try to save you.
It's something you have to do for yourself.
Good luck figuring your shit out.
Take your time. Hopefully, I'll still be around.
That room was full of my colleagues.
My students, my friends,
people I really care about. Why would she do that?
It was so humiliating.
That's why she did it.
You should just let go.
You should just try and let go.
The only reason I can is because I'm with you.
Lock the door.
Excuse me.
Could I get a ticket for the...
Oh, my God. Look, it's Sally and Sandra.
- Who are they? - That is our line producer and our first AD.
I think it's so funny how everybody hooks up on movie sets.
Yeah, hooking up.
- Hi, guys. - Hi.
You guys look great.
- This is Kit Porter. - Nice to see you.
- This is Bette Porter. - Hello, Sally.
- Nice to meet you. - You look familiar.
- She's got one of those faces. - Yeah.
William, hi!
So excited.
- I just got him an extra ticket. - All right!
Hey!
Can I get a ticket?
Thank you.
You know what? Let's just go inside and find our friends.
Okay.
Hey!
- Hi! - Hi.
Hey! Happy wrap party.
Happy wrap party. It's over!
Oh, my God.
So, where's... Where's Molly?
- What? - Where's Molly?
I think she went to school.
- Really? - Yeah.
You didn't want to bring her?
What?
- Drinks! - All right!
- Let's do a toast, you guys. - Okay.
- To Jenny. - To Jenny.
Hey. What's that?
- Wow. Look at that. - No shit.
Oh, my God, she's such a piece of work.
What's that dance?
That's Adele.
Why does she keep looking at us?
- Who is she kissing? - Oh, my God.
Is it Begoña? Is that her?
I can't even talk about it, you guys.
Really? Did you know about this?
- Wow. - Wow.
What's the difference between an elephant...
I didn't realize that Tasha was so chummy with Cammie.
Yeah, well, she's had a couple of drinks.
...and a flannel shirt.
- That's so bad! Oh, my God! - Really?
- I didn't know she drank so much, either. - Yes, that's terrible.
Well, yeah, I didn't either.
I mean, I don't think she likes to, you know, drink, it's...
- What's wrong? - Can I talk to you?
- I knew it! - Okay.
What?
I met someone.
I knew it! I knew it!
I knew it. Is that why she's drinking?
No. I mean, I... She doesn't know, and I haven't done anything,
I mean, I have not acted on this, I swear to you.
- But you want to? - Yeah. I do.
But I know, you know, I know that
the right thing to do is to work on this with Tasha.
It's what I should do.
Why? Why? Who says you should? Why should you?
Because we all just let our relationships blow up at the first little temptation.
Nobody works on their relationships anymore.
Everyone's after instant gratification, and I don't want to be like that.
I agree. You're right.
But also, I've seen you in this thing from day one.
And you've always been giving it a chance. You both...
I've worked hard.
Yeah, you both have.
And, so, maybe now you've come to a point where you realize you...
You want something different.
That's okay.
Yeah, but everything she went through with the trial,
and giving up everything she believed in...
It has nothing to do with you.
That never had anything to do with you.
You have the right to be happy. It's your human right to be happy.
- Who is she? - I don't want to say.
- I can't say. It makes it too real. - Come on. Why would I...
You're gonna die.
I can imagine them together.
Those two? Yeah, they belong together.
They do.
They always have.
What's up, Niki?
- What are you doing? - Hey.
What's shaking?
I'm just avoiding people.
Why? It's your big night.
Well, this party is lame.
All those people always looking at me all the time,
expecting me to start performing like some trained monkey.
I'm just so tired, you know, of...
What are you tired of?
Everybody wanting me to be who they want me to be.
Yeah, that sounds like fun.
Well.
Let's see. What can I tell you?
Well, I...
I fucked up something pretty great last night.
- Molly? - Yeah.
I don't know, I got ahead of myself. I did something. I just...
I envisioned this kind of future, and...
I mean, I was wrong.
It was all wrong.
Well, you can't care. You know? I mean...
As soon as it turns to shit, you just got to get out, you know?
That's what I do. I move on, because if you don't,
you get caught up in their bullshit, and then you're screwed. You know?
Yeah. I do.
Well...
I say not giving a shit.
- Hello! - Because, really, why should you?
- Hello, everybody! - To not giving a shit.
- Just not giving a shit. - Hello.
I want to welcome you all here tonight.
This party is m y way of saying thank you to all of you
for your hard work and dedication
and all the creativity that you've brought into m y life.
So, without further ado, I'd like to turn the stage over to a person
whom I've recently come to know and admire.
Without her, Lez Girls would not be
the great success that I know it's going to be.
She's a rising star in Hollywood.
Just today, she signed a three-picture deal.
So, let's give it up for Ms. A dele Channing!
Thank you, William.
I don't deser ve those accolades,
but I do want to mention that the first picture in that deal will star
m y beautiful and talented lady, Begoña Garcia.
She's the one that they were really after.
I also want to mention to you all that just this morning
we were picked up for distribution. We ha ve a major distributor, people!
A s for m yself,
I know that I'm a Johnny-come-lately to this project,
and I just want to say that I am honored and privileged to ha ve played a role,
to ha ve learned from the likes of William
and Aaron, Tina Kennard, Sam Maka vejev,
and of course
I know that I would be remiss if I didn't mention Jennifer Schecter,
- who ga ve me the opportunity to... - I didn't give you anything.
You stole it.
- Should I call security? - No. It's fine.
- Go, Jenny! - All right!
Jennifer Schecter.
We love you, Jenny!
We love you, too, Jenny!
Thank you, all of you.
Thank you very much.
I realize that the movie is out of m y hands now,
and I hope that those people entrusted
with this responsibility will honor it.
I want to thank this amazing, amazing crew
who ha ve helped me see through m y vision.
I want to thank m y incredible friends.
Who I... I really love you guys.
You guys ha ve shown me loyalty
and so much compassion
and
friendship, and I think that's what Lez Girls is all about.
It means the world to me,
more than any other movie or lover.
Is Niki here?
I saw her outside, by the little pagoda!
I want to tell her something, because I was...
I realized something really important this afternoon,
that I am madly in love with someone,
and it's changed the way I feel about all of this.
Thank you for putting up with me.
Thank you, Jenny.
Let's ha ve a great night.
Niki!
Niki?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God! Jenny!
What are you doing?
Are you kidding me? You agreed to change the ending?
Tina, it makes total sense that Jesse would go back to Jim in the end.
Jesse never really felt gay to me to begin with.
What the fuck would you know about it? That is so fucked up!
- Tina, come on! - Fucking Hollywood!
So William spends a little more money. What's the big deal?
Even if you thought that Niki and I had broken up...
I swear, I'm your friend.
I thought that we...
Jenny.
This is bullshit! We worked really hard on a movie that we believed in,
and the marketing people just come along and change the whole ending?
The guy gets the girl, the end?
No. This is the movie that was supposed to change all that.
Look, Tina,
if the movie's too gay, it's going to alienate audiences.
Too gay?
It's a movie about lesbians!
And the movie's full of lesbians. It's chock-full of them.
Bev is a lesbian. Nina's a lesbian. Shaun, Donna.
- What's-her-face, the bisexual? - Alysse.
Alysse, she's not interested in men. We're talking about one character here.
- It's not that big a deal. - I just want to know one thing.
How do you do it? How do you live with yourself?
What the hell is going on?
The studio wants to change the ending of the movie.
They want Jesse to go back to Jim.
- What? - What?
- They think it's too gay. - Too gay?
Well, you're not going to let them get away with that, are you?
I'm telling you, it's the man that does this crazy shit.
Jenny, would you talk to me? I'm your friend. Please?
No, Shane.
You guys, come on! Can't we all just be friends?
Jenny, I am your friend. I swear...
You know what? It's the ultimate betrayal.
I'm going to go get the car.
- Okay. - Okay.
You've broken my heart.
