I TOLD YOU, DON'T MOVE.

LET YOUR... LET YOUR ARMS FALL BY YOUR SIDES.

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

GODDAMMIT.

ALICE, I THOUGHT YOU SET THE ALARM.

I DID.

YOU SNOOZED IT.

I'M LATE FOR MY FUCKING DUMBASS JOB.

I'M SORRY.

DO YOU WANT ME TO MAKE US COFFEE?

NO THANKS.

I'LL GET SOME ON THE WAY.

SO ARE WE GOING TO GET TOGETHER LATER,

OR WHAT?

I HAVE A SCREENING WITH JOANIE...

BUT I'LL CALL YOU.

BYE.

HEY. HEY.

UM, COULD I SPEAK TO YOU, PLEASE?

SURE, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

WAIT A MINUTE?

DO YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?

NO. THANK YOU.

FINALLY, "THE FLAGELLATION" BY DELMAS HOWE

DEALS WITH THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN MAN AS DIVINE

AND MAN AS A CREATURE.

THE PAINTING, WHICH IS LARGE IN SCALE

AND CLASSICAL IN ITS EXECUTION,

ATTEMPTS TO RECORD THE ARTIST'S EXPERIENCES

THROUGH JUXTAPOSITION AND NARRATIVE.

RICHARD MORRISEY HAS CALLED THIS PIECE "A REVELATION."

PROVOCATIONS IS INTENDED TO DO JUST THAT...

PROVOKE.

IT IS DARING, IT IS INTENSE,

AND IT IS THE EDGE WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR,

AND WITH A LITTLE FINESSING,

IT WILL BE THE CAC'S SPRING EXHIBITION.

ISN'T THAT OUR SLOT FOR THE IMPRESSIONISTS?

YES, BUT WE'VE SHOWN "IMPRESSIONS IN WINTER"

FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS IN A ROW.

I THOUGHT THIS YEAR WE WOULD WOW THEM

WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

WE CAN'T MOVE THE IMPRESSIONISTS.

EVERYBODY LOVES THE IMPRESSIONISTS.

WELL, THE IMPRESSIONISTS NOTWITHSTANDING,

YOU HIRED ME TO CREATE A NEW PROFILE

FOR THE CAC.

NOW, THE PROVOCATIONS EXHIBIT WILL PUT US ON THE MAP.

IT PREMIERES AT MOMA IN NEW YORK,

AND THEN AFTER THE CAC, IT MOVES ON TO THE WALKER,

AND THEN TO THE LONDON'S TATE MODERN.

OKAY, WELL, JUST ASSUMING FOR A MOMENT

WE WERE WILLING TO FOREGO "IMPRESSIONS IN WINTER,"

DESPITE THE FACT

THAT IT'S OUR MOST POPULAR EXHIBITION, BAR NONE,

FOR THIS... CAUSE CELEBRE OUT OF NEW YORK,

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

YOU CAN PROCURE IT FOR THE CAC?

WELL, I'VE SET UP A MEETING WITH GINA FERRARA,

WHO IS THE CURATOR OF THE PEGGY PEABODY COLLECTION.

NOW, I KNOW THAT BOTH MOCA AND LACMA ARE AFTER IT,

BUT I'M COMPLETELY CONFIDENT THAT I CAN...

BETTE, IT IS OBVIOUS

THAT YOU HAVE GONE TO A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE

TO PREPARE FOR THIS PRESENTATION,

BUT IT ISN'T WORTH THE RISK.

"IMPRESSIONS IN WINTER" IS...

IS TOO IMPORTANT TO US.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, FRANKLIN,

IF I'M NOT THE ONE SELECTING THE SHOWS,

THEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M HERE FOR.

TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CAC.

I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE FAIRLY OBVIOUS.

NOW, WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO

IS TO FOLLOW UP WITH SHELDON TOMLIN

OVER AT HOYT

AND IRON OUT THE DETAILS.

WE WOULDN'T WANT ONE OF OUR RIVALS

RUNNING OFF WITH IMPRESSIONS

BECAUSE WE WERE SLOW ON THE UPTAKE.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. I'M SORRY.

FOLLOW UP? YOU'VE BOOKED IT ALREADY?

I, UH, HAPPENED TO HAVE LUNCH WITH SHELLY LAST WEEK,

AND I THOUGHT I'D SAVE YOU THE TIME.

WELL, EVERYONE, THANKS.

HOW ABOUT THANKING MS. PORTER FOR ALL HER HARD WORK.

GREAT JOB.

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO MY OFFICE?

NO, THIS IS JUST GOING TO TAKE A MINUTE.

HEY...

HOW ARE YOU?

HEY.

HOW ARE YOU?

HI, JENNY.

CAN WE GO INTO YOUR OFFICE, PLEASE?

YEAH, SURE.

THANK YOU. SHANE.

HEY, JENNY. HOW ARE YOU?

CAN WE HAVE HER TABLE?

DID YOU SEE THAT?

YOU CAN'T TELL ME, RIGHT?

RIGHT, AL, I CAN'T TELL YOU.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, JENNY?

I CAN'T BE AROUND YOU ANYMORE.

IT'S CONFUSING TO ME,

AND IT MAKES ME FEEL INSANE.

YOU KNOW,

TIM HAS BEEN SO WONDERFUL TO ME...

AND I THINK THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE...

THAT I'VE ACTUALLY FELT SAFE.

DO YOU WANT TO BE SAFE?

I'M GOING TO MARRY TIM.

I CAN'T IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT HIM.

I DON'T WANT TO IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT HIM.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

YES. THAT IS WHAT I WANT.

THEN I WISH YOU WELL.

I'M GOING TO GET ANOTHER. YOU OKAY?

♪ HEY GABBY, YOU'RE SO FINE ♪

♪ YOU'RE SO FINE YOU BLOW MY MIND... ♪

EASY WITH THE 80's POP

THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING.

♪ HEY GABBY, HEY GABBY... ♪

TELL ME YOU DIDN'T.

OKAY, THINK WHAT YOU WILL, SHE'S AMAZING.

SHE'S AMAZING LOOKING,

SHE'S AMAZINGLY SMART,

SHE'S AMAZING IN BED...

SHE TREATS YOU LIKE SHIT.

NO, SHE DOESN'T.

SHE DOES.

NO, NOT THIS TIME,

TOTALLY CHANGED.

I DON'T KNOW, ALICE.

SHE STILL SEEMS PRETTY COLD IN THE STREETS TO ME.

COLD IN THE STREETS, HOT IN THE SHEETS.

SHE'S HAPPIER.

SHE'S WRITING HER LESBIAN COPS SCREENPLAY.

SHE'S A WHOLE NEW GABBY.

WHAT?

NOTHING.

NO, NO, NO, NOT SAYING "NOTHING" WITH THAT FACE.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK.

LET'S SAY, HYPOTHETICALLY,

THAT I SAW GABBY ALL OVER NADIA MEIRTSCHIN

ON THURSDAY NIGHT.

WHERE?

MILK.

WHAT WERE THEY DOING?

UH...

I'D PREFER NOT TO GIVE YOU THE DETAILS THIS TIME.

HEY...

HEY!

AH!

OH, MY GOD! I'M SORRY.

IT'S OKAY.

JESUS, YOU'RE DISFIGURED.

I'M NOT DISFIGURED.

I COULD'VE KILLED YOU WHEN YOU WERE...

IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

SHOULD WE CALL A DOCTOR?

DANA!

SECOND-DEGREE BURN FROM THE BECHAMEL SAUCE,

RUN-AWAY SHISH KEBOB,

AN ATTACK FROM A PARTICULARLY HOSTILE LIVE LOBSTER,

AND, UM, ELECTRIC CAN-OPENER.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

YOU COULD KISS IT AND MAKE IT BETTER.

UM...

I WAS WONDERING IF MAYBE SOME...

I WOULD LOVE TO.

REALLY?

OKAY.

OKAY, IS THURSDAY NIGHT OKAY?

THURSDAY NIGHT IS GREAT.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?

ANYWHERE YOU'RE GOING.

YEAH, BUT YOU'RE A FOOD PERSON,

SO I WANT TO TAKE YOU SOME PLACE REALLY GOOD, LIKE L'ORANGERIE.

NO, NO, NO, THAT'S WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.

I KNOW, BUT I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT...

WE'RE NOT STARTING OUT THAT WAY.

UM... THERE'S THIS LITTLE PLACE IN KOREATOWN

THAT I'VE BEEN DYING TO CHECK OUT.

DO I NEED TO MAKE A RESERVATION?

HOW ABOUT IF I TAKE CARE OF THAT PART,

AND YOU JUST PICK ME UP AT 8:00?

OKAY.

OKAY.

OKAY.

OKAY, BYE.

HEY...

YEAH?

THANKS FOR ASKING ME OUT.

OH, YEAH. NO PROBLEM.

SORRY.

YEAH, GINA FERRARA, PLEASE.

IT'S BETTE PORTER.

WE'RE HAVING DRINKS.

CAN YOU JUST LET HER KNOW THAT I GOT HER MESSAGE?

AND THE FOUR SEASONS IS FINE.

YOU BROUGHT DINNER.

YOU GOING OUT?

I HAVE A DRINKS MEETING.

THE BOARD DIDN'T GO FOR IT.

WHAT?

HELLO. IS GREG MASSEY IN?

YEAH, IT'S BETTE PORTER FROM THE CAC.

YES, I'LL HOLD.

CAN YOU JUST HAVE HIM CALL ME BACK, PLEASE?

THANKS.

I HATE THEM ALL.

THEY DIDN'T GO FOR PROVOCATIONS?

YEAH, AND THEN, TO POUR SALT ON THE WOUND,

FRANKLIN WENT BEHIND MY BACK

AND BOOKED IMPRESSIONS IN WINTER.

SO WHO'RE YOU HAVING DRINKS WITH?

GINA FERRARA,

THE CURATOR OF THE PEGGY PEABODY COLLECTION.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID THEY DIDN'T GO FOR IT.

I'M NOT ROLLING OVER.

RIGHT AFTER THE MEETING, I CALLED SHELDON TOMLIN,

AND I UN-BOOKED THE IMPRESSIONISTS SHOW,

AND NOW I'M GOING TO PROSTRATE MYSELF

TO A WOMAN WHO HATES MY GUTS.

WHY DOES GINA FERRARA HATE YOU?

WE HAD A RUN-IN OVER AN ARTIST, MEGAN FRIEDMAN,

WHEN WE WERE BOTH GALLERISTS.

THAT SCULPTOR YOU SLEPT WITH?

AND SHE'S HATED ME EVER SINCE.

SO GINA FERRARA'S A LESBIAN?

NO...

BUT SHE WANTED THE SHOW,

I GOT IT, AND NOW SHE HATES ME,

BUT I AM GOING TO KISS HER ASS.

SHE'S LUCKY.

HEY, JEN. HEY, IT'S ME.

LISTEN, I HAD A REALLY SHITTY DAY.

MY 200-YARD FREE RELAY TEAM ATE SOME BAD SUSHI.

THEY WERE UP ALL NIGHT PUKING,

AND TRISH IS NOW OFFICIALLY ON ACADEMIC PROBATION,

SO IF YOU GET THE MESSAGE, I'M AT THE PLANET.

I MISS YOU. I HOPE YOU JOIN. BYE.

ANYONE ELSE?

COME ON.

NO.

COME ON.

I'M OBVIOUSLY NO MATCH FOR YOU.

WELL, YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY.

HEY.

HI. HI.

OH.

HOW ARE YOU?

YOU KNOW NADIA.

YEAH. HEY.

HEY.

OH, MY GOD.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?

LACEY...

LOOKS LIKE SHANE FINALLY TANGLED

WITH THE WRONG CRAZY BITCH.

HARSH. THERE'S, LIKE, A WHOLE STACK OF THEM

OVER BY THE DOOR.

GABBY...

GABBY?

I WAS KIND OF HOPING WE COULD BE ALONE.

WE CAN BE ALONE WHEN WE'RE DEAD.

IS THAT FIONA OVER THERE?

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'D EVEN SHOW HER FACE IN HERE.

TIM. TIM, YOUR PHONE IS RINGING.

CAN YOU GET IT?

HELLO?

TIM?

UH, WHO IS THIS?

HI, JENNY.

IT'S MARINA.

WHERE'S TIM?

TIM IS PLAYING POOL, AND HE ASKED ME TO ANSWER THE PHONE.

I DON'T THINK SHE'S HAPPY.

JENNY?

SHE GOT CUT OFF.

I GUESS SHE'LL CALL BACK.

YES!

DID YOU JUST HUSTLE ME?

YES!

JEN, HEY!

YOU OKAY?

JENNY...

JEN, WHAT'S GOING ON?

JENNY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

JENNY, BABY,

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

JEN...

CAN YOU HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING?

EVERYBODY, GET BACK. GIVE HER SOME AIR.

SHE'S COMING AROUND.

I'VE GOT TO GET HER SOMETHING FOR HER HEAD.

JEN, HEY...

IT'S OKAY. IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S OKAY.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?

SHE PASSED OUT.

WAS SHE DRINKING OR SOMETHING?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT SOMEBODY ELSE WAS.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HER?

IT'S NOT MY PLACE.

HOW WAS YOUR MEETING?

THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT ON LA CIENEGA.

I WAS 15 MINUTES LATE.

I GOT THERE, SHE'D LEFT ALREADY.

OH, BABE, I'M SORRY.

WE'RE GOING TO RESCHEDULE TOMORROW.

COME ON, LET'S GET YOU SOMETHING TO EAT.

WELL, WE'RE DEFINITELY GETTING YOU TO A DOCTOR TOMORROW.

IT'S LOW BLOOD SUGAR.

YOU SCARED ME, YOU KNOW.

YOU KNOW, YOU FUCKED EVERYTHING UP,

BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO GO TO THE PLANET

WHILE I WAS MAKING YOU DINNER

AND GO AND FLIRT WITH MARINA.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

WELL, WHAT WERE YOU DOING, TIM?

PLAYING POOL.

WITH YOUR ARMS AROUND EACH ANOTHER?

YOU KNOW, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

WE WERE MAKING OUT,

RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLANET,

WHILE EVERYONE WAS WATCHING.

YOU NEED TO GET SOME SLEEP.

BETTE PORTER'S OFFICE.

HI, JAMES. YEAH, IT'S ME.

CAN YOU JUST, UH, FORWARD MY CALLS TO MY CELL?

THANKS.

HEY, GUYS, CHECK THIS OUT.

MY GOD, IT'S THE UNABOMBER.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

LACEY IS ON SOME SORT OF RAMPAGE.

SHE PUT THESE ALL OVER TOWN...

GUYS, YOU GUYS...

THERE'S A GIANT BILLBOARD OF SHANE ON SUNSET.

JUST KIDDING.

SO HOW'S YOUR LADY FRIEND?

GOOD.

I HAVE MY DATE TONIGHT.

OH, MY GOD, DANA'S GOT A DATE.

WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?

UM, WELL, I WAS THINKING I'D WEAR THAT...

THAT BLUE SUNDRESS, YOU KNOW, WITH THE...

NO!

WHAT?

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, NO SUNDRESSES.

BUT I'M GOING TO A NICE PLACE.

SOMEBODY MIGHT SEE ME.

ONE GUY RECOGNIZES YOU,

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU'RE LIKE TIGER WOODS...

BITE MY HEAD OFF. GOD.

JESUS, AL, IT'S NOT DANA'S FAULT

GABBY'S MACKING

ON NADIA MEIRTSCHIN.

GOD, NADIA MEIRTSCHIN?

I HATE THAT GIRL.

I'VE BEEN INTRODUCED TO HER, LIKE, 24 TIMES,

SHE NEVER REMEMBERS MY NAME.

DIDN'T SHE TRY TO HIT UP ON YOU ONCE,

NADIA MIERTSCHIN?

SHE WAS DRUNK.

STILL...

IT HAS TO END.

SERIOUSLY, ALICE.

YOU CAN'T LET GABBY CONTINUE

TO TREAT YOU THIS WAY.

YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW HER.

I KNOW IT LOOKS

LIKE SHE'S TREATING ME LIKE SHIT,

BUT SHE'S JUST, YOU KNOW...

TREATING YOU LIKE SHIT, AL.

MAYBE. IT'S JUST...

NO "IT'S JUST."

YOU DESERVE BETTER.

I DO?

ALL RIGHT, I DO, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE AT TIMES,

SHE'S SO RIGHT THERE, AND I FEEL LIKE WE CONNECT,

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,

SHE ACTS LIKE I DON'T EVEN EXIST.

THAT'S BECAUSE SHE'S AN EMOTIONAL CRIPPLE.

YEAH, EMOTIONAL CRIPPLE

SLASH NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER.

AND THE NEXT TIME SHE CALLS YOU,

YOU HAVE TO END IT.

I KNOW, IT'S JUST...

"IT'S JUST" NOTHING.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

WELL, I WAS GOING TO ASK...

NO ASKING.

NO, YOU'RE GOING TO TELL HER.

YOU'RE GOING TO SAY,

"GABBY, I REALLY ENJOYED THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER,

"BUT IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME

"THAT WE ARE IN DIFFERENT PLACES IN OUR LIVES,

"AND WE WANT DIFFERENT THINGS OUT OF A RELATIONSHIP,

"AND I RESPECT MYSELF TOO MUCH

TO LET YOU CONTINUE TO TREAT ME THIS WAY."

IT'S CLEAR TO ME NOW

THAT YOU ARE AN EMOTIONAL CRIPPLE

WITHOUT ANY KIND OF CAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND TRUE LOVE...

AND I'M NO LONGER WILLING

TO WASTE MY VALUABLE TIME ON YOU.

SO STEP OFF, BITCH.

YOU CAN DO IT.

HELLO?

GINA... HEY.

I'M SO SORRY ABOUT LAST NIGHT.

I HOPE YOU GOT THE MESSAGE THERE WAS A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

YEAH, I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD

TO TALKING TO YOU ABOUT PROVOCATIONS.

I THINK THAT THE...

OH...

OH, REALLY?

WELL, IS THERE ANY WAY

THAT I COULD GET YOU TO RECONSIDER?

BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE CAC...

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

NO. NO, NO, NO, NO. THANK YOU.

BYE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

PROVOCATIONS WENT TO MOCA.

THAT'S WHERE GINA WAS LAST NIGHT

WHEN I WAS SITTING ALONE AT THE BAR AT THE FOUR SEASONS.

OH, BABY, I'M SO SORRY.

I KNEW GINA WOULD SCREW ME.

I'M SO FUCKED.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN OVERRULE HER?

JUST PEGGY PEABODY,

THE BILLIONAIRESS RAVING LUNATIC.

PEGGY PEABODY,

UNIFIED STEEL HEIRESS?

YEAH...

SHE'S IN TOWN, YOU KNOW.

SHE'S STAYING AT THE LOS ALAMENDROS,

SANTA BARBARA.

SHE'S HERE ON SOME CRAZY ART-BUYING SPREE,

SPENT, LIKE, 6.3 MILLION BUCKS YESTERDAY.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?

I WAS EAVESDROPPING AT L.A. MAGAZINE.

DO YOU GUYS KNOW,

THEY WANT ME TO DO A STORY

ON THE 45-MINUTE ORGASM...

AS IF.

I MEAN, BY DEFINITION,

THEY'RE SHORT AND INTENSE, RIGHT?

HI, JAMES?

CAN YOU GET ME DIRECTIONS

FOR THE LOS ALAMENDROS IN SANTA BARBARA?

FRANKLIN FOUND OUT

YOU PASSED ON "IMPRESSIONS IN WINTER."

WHAT ELSE?

WELL, HE'S IN A RAGE THAT...

THAT YOU LEFT THE OFFICE IN A TIME OF CRISIS.

TELL HIM TO BITE ME.

I DON'T THINK I CAN SAY THAT.

TELL HIM THAT ALL GREAT ART IS A RESPONSE

TO SMALL-MINDED CORPORATE FASCISTS

TRYING TO IMPOSE THEIR IGNORANCE ON THE SHEEPLIKE MASSES.

WHY DON'T I JUST TELL HIM YOU HAVE A DENTIST APPOINTMENT?

JUST TELL HIM IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER.

OKAY, CALL ME BACK WITH THE DIRECTIONS.

THANKS.

YOU'RE GOING TO SANTA BARBARA?

GOOD LUCK!

HI. HOW ARE YOU?

HEY, HOW YOU DOING?

HEY, WORD TO THE WISE, WATCH OUT FOR THAT WOMAN.

MA'AM, HOW YOU DOING?

KEEP AN EYE ON YOU DAUGHTER. YOU NEVER KNOW.

HI. HEADS UP.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? I LEARNED PHOTOSHOP.

LACE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHATEVER I FEEL LIKE. ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU DO?

ALL RIGHT, ENOUGH. COME ON.

I THINK WE HAVE A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING.

I MEAN, YOU AND ME

HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME TOGETHER, BUT...

I KNOW.

THAT'S WHY I DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHAT HAPPENED.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

OKAY, IT'S JUST ABOUT HAVING A GOOD TIME

AND ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY.

I KNOW, BUT THEN YOU WENT OFF WITH THE OTHER GIRL.

YEAH...

I DON'T SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THAT.

LOOK, LACE, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL

AND I LIKE YOU A LOT,

BUT I LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE.

WHAT DOES SHE HAVE THAT I DON'T HAVE?

NOTHING.

IT'S NOT ABOUT HAVING SOMETHING

OR NOT HAVING SOMETHING.

DID YOU LIKE FUCKING HER BETTER?

NO.

BECAUSE I REALLY LIKED FUCKING YOU.

YEAH, I LIKED FUCKING YOU, TOO, LACE.

SO, THEN, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

I DON'T DO RELATIONSHIPS.

I'M NOT ASKING FOR A RELATIONSHIP.

OH, UH... LOOK...

HEY, DON'T CRY.

I AM NOT CRYING.

YES, YOU ARE.

LOOK, I HATE IT WHEN GIRLS CRY.

ALL RIGHT, COME HERE.

COME HERE.

I JUST REALLY LIKE YOU, IS ALL.

I LIKE YOU, TOO.

I DO.

I GUESS I GOT CARRIED AWAY WITH THE POSTERS

AND THE FLIERS AND THE... BANNER.

WHAT, YOU MADE...

YOU MADE BANNERS?

JUST ONE,

BUT THEY WOULDN'T LET ME HANG IT AT GIRL BAR.

HONEY, YOU HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS.

I KNOW,

AND THEN YOU WENT OFF WITH THE OTHER GIRL.

NO, NO, SHH, DON'T, DON'T.

PLEASE DON'T... DON'T.

FORGET ABOUT IT, OKAY?

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT.

I DON'T WANT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU, I JUST...

I JUST WANT TO BE WITH YOU ALL THE TIME.

OH. HEY, OH.

OH, I'M SO DUMB.

I AM ALWAYS DOING THIS.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY EVERYBODY ALWAYS ABANDONS ME.

NO ONE'S ABANDONING YOU.

EVERYBODY LEAVES.

MY FATHER LEFT WHEN I WAS FIVE.

MY MOM DIED...

AND MY SISTER...

WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOUR SISTER?

SHE MOVED TO WEST COVINA.

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE, OKAY?

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

OKAY?

YEAH? OKAY.

YEAH.

AL, IT'S DANA.

AL... ALICE.

NO, DON'T WORRY, I'M WEARING PANTS.

NO, THEY'RE NOT PATTERNED.

LOOK, I'LL CALL YOU AFTER, OKAY?

NO, I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE... HOLD ON.

JUST HOLD ON.

I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.

OKAY, LOOK, SHE'S COMING.

I'VE GOT TO GO.

HMM?

NO, I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE SEX WITH HER TONIGHT.

IT'S OUR FIRST DATE. GOD.

I'LL CALL YOU LATER. BYE.

HI!

I OVER-DRESSED.

NO, NO.

OH, GOD, I FEEL LIKE SUCH A GEEK.

NO, NO.

MY FRIENDS MADE ME WEAR THIS.

WHAT?

MY FRIENDS SAID THAT...

THEY THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD THINK I WAS A GEEK

IF, YOU KNOW,

IF I WORE A DRESS.

SO I AM A GEEK.

FOR LETTING MY FRIENDS TELL ME WHAT TO WEAR.

WELL, I COULD GO CHANGE,

SO YOU DON'T FEEL SO GEEKY.

NO, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

OH, GOD.

SEE, THAT WAS TOTALLY...

JUST A TOTAL GEEK.

I'M JUST...

SHALL WE GO?

YEAH.

THANK YOU, SIR.

HELLO, AND WELCOME TO LOS ALAMENDROS.

HOW MAY I HELP YOU?

YES, I'M HERE TO SEE MRS. PEABODY.

THE CODE WORD?

YOU NEED A SECRET CODE

TO SEE PEGGY PEABODY?

THAT'S CORRECT.

SHAZAM.

HMM...

PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE TO LEAVE A NOTE?

THAT'S HER, ISN'T IT?

RIGHT?

MRS. PEABODY?

MRS. PEABODY... HI.

MY DRIVER WAS LATE.

THAT'S MY EXCUSE.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO STAND.

YOU HAVE SO MUCH TRAFFIC IN THIS INFERNAL CITY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU STAND IT.

YOU KIND OF GET USED TO IT, ACTUALLY.

ABSURD.

PENTHOUSE.

COME HERE.

HOLD HIM FOR ME, WOULD YOU?

HERE WE GO.

THERE, GO AWAY.

DON'T COME BACK.

I LET JOSE OFF.

JOSE?

HE'S MY HELPER.

HE'S IN LOVE WITH THIS GIRL

WHO WORKS FOR THE WEINTRAUBS...

OR IS IT THE FLEISHMANS,

I'M NOT CERTAIN...

MAD, OBSESSIVE LOVE.

I TOLD HIM, "GO! BE IN LOVE! TAKE THE NIGHT!

SHOW HER THE SEA!"

I THINK PEOPLE IN LOVE SHOULD SEE THE SEA.

MRS. PEABODY, I...

CALL ME PEGGY.

I DON'T LIKE "MRS.".

IT'S SO FRUMPY, LIKE I'M AN OLD MARE.

PEGGY...

YOU'RE HERE ABOUT THE KANDINSKY.

KANDINSKY?

WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING?

NOTHING. I'M FINE.

NONSENSE.

I HAD THIS RIDICULOUS DRINK THE OTHER NIGHT.

JOSE MADE IT FOR ME... MANGO JUICE AND VODKA, I THINK.

JUST RIDICULOUS.

JOSE!

I THINK JOSE IS OUT...

AT THE SEA.

OF COURSE.

HE'S IN LOVE.

RIGHT.

NOW, THIS DRINK... HAS A VERY SALUTORY EFFECT.

IT'S CALLED A "ROAD KILL."

LET'S SEE IF YOU LIKE IT.

YUM.

MM. DELICIOUS.

SO... WHEN CAN I SEE IT?

SEE WHAT?

THE KANDINSKY.

YOU HAVE A REPUTATION

FOR DRIVING A VERY HARD BARGAIN,

MISS REYNOLDS...

I THINK YOU HAVE ME CONFUSED WITH...

BUT I WILL HAVE IT.

I'M AFRAID THAT YOU HAVE CONFUSED...

HOW DOES THIS DAMN THING WORK?

UGH, NASTY LITTLE MACHINE.

THIS IS MS. PEABODY'S ROOM.

LEAVE A MESSAGE AT THE TONE.

HI, PEGGY...

THIS IS ABBY REYNOLDS.

I'M SO SORRY,

BUT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CANCEL

ON OUR APPOINTMENT THIS EVENING.

LET'S RESCHEDULE THE TALK ABOUT THE KANDINSKY.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU. I'M...

I'M BETTE PORTER,

AND I AM THE DIRECTOR

OF THE CALIFORNIA ART CENTER.

CALIFORNIA... OH.

OH, YES.

THAT LITTLE MUSEUM IN BERGAMOT STATION.

RIGHT.

OBSCURE.

THAT WILL ALL CHANGE SOON,

ESPECIALLY IF YOU, IN YOUR INFINITE WISDOM,

DECIDE THAT THE PROVOCATIONS EXHIBIT SHOULD GO...

YOU'RE THE LESBIAN.

EXCUSE ME?

THE LESBIAN MUSEUM DIRECTOR.

I'M SORRY?

I WAS A LESBIAN IN 1974.

JUST 1974?

JUST 1974.

THAT WAS ALL I NEEDED.

WELL, YOU KNOW,

THAT IS WHAT WE REFER TO AS A "HAS-BIAN."

A HAS-BIAN...

THAT'S HILARIOUS!

I MUST TELL JOANNE THAT ONE.

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

I'M JUST FAMISHED.

WHY DON'T YOU ORDER US SOMETHING?

THERE'S A MENU IN HERE SOMEWHERE.

THANK YOU.

HEY, STRANGER.

YOU RAN OUT THE OTHER NIGHT.

YEAH, WELL, 12'S A CROWD.

I KNOW,

AND I'M SO SORRY.

I JUST MISSED CLARISSA'S BIRTHDAY THE OTHER NIGHT,

AND THEN NADIA CALLED,

AND THEN BEFORE I KNEW IT,

IT WAS LIKE A WHOLE BIG, YOU KNOW...

I KNOW ABOUT YOU AND NADIA.

THERE'S NOTHING TO KNOW.

HALF OF HOLLYWOOD

SAW YOU GUYS MAKING OUT, SO...

THAT WAS NOTHING.

ALICE, IT MEANT NOTHING TO ME.

OKAY, HERE'S YOU,

AND HERE'S THE LIES YOU'RE TELLING ME.

OKAY, I WON'T SEE HER ANYMORE.

I SWEAR.

IT'S JUST...

YOU AND ME ARE REALLY GOOD TOGETHER.

WE'RE BOTH WRITERS.

WE'RE ON AN INTELLECTUAL PAR.

I CAN'T HAVE THE SAME CONVERSATIONS

WITH NADIA THAT I HAVE WITH YOU.

GABBY...

I'VE REALLY ENJOYED

THE TIME WE'VE SPENT TOGETHER,

BUT IT'S OBVIOUS

YOU AND I ARE ON TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS,

AND WE REALLY WANT TWO DIFFERENT THINGS

OUT OF A RELATIONSHIP.

I RESPECT MYSELF TOO MUCH

TO LET YOU TREAT ME LIKE THIS.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

AND IT'S PRETTY CLEAR,

YOU'RE, LIKE, SOME SORT OF EMOTIONAL CRIPPLE

WITHOUT THE CAPACITY

TO REALLY UNDERSTAND TRUE LOVE,

AND I, UH...

I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU WASTE MY VALUABLE TIME, AND...

STEP OFF, BITCH.

EMOTIONAL CRIPPLE?

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT, DR. PHIL?

WHY DON'T YOU GET OUT OF MY HOUSE?

WHATEV.

SUIT YOURSELF,

BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW, ALICE,

THIS IS NOT A GOOD MOVE FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

EVERYONE KNOWS YOU'RE DESPERATE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BOUNCE BACK FROM THIS.

OH, HEY.

I JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW YOU WERE DOING.

GOOD, GOOD.

ARE YOU WORKING?

I DON'T WANT TO BOTHER YOU IF YOU'RE WORKING.

NO, NO, I HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN ABLE TO FOCUS,

BUT I'M DOING GOOD.

NO MORE DIZZINESS?

MM-MM, NO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

I WAS JUST SORT OF STANDING THERE,

WATCHING TIM AND...

MARINA.

MARINA.

YOU KNOW, JENNY, I KNOW IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS,

BUT I WANTED TO TELL YOU

THAT IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE

ABOUT ANYTHING,

YOU CAN TALK TO ME IF YOU WANT TO.

I KNOW

HOW INTENSE THIS CAN BE.

KEEPING IT PENT UP CAN MAKE IT WORSE.

IT'S NO WONDER YOU PASSED OUT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

OKAY... SORRY.

UM...

HEY, DID, UH...

DID MARINA SAY SOMETHING TO YOU?

NO.

SHE DIDN'T.

LOOK, I KNOW IT DOESN'T SEEM THIS WAY,

BUT THIS CAN BE A SMALL TOWN.

SOMETIMES IT'S...

OKAY, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER YOU HEARD,

IT'S JUST, LIKE... IT'S A LIE, YOU KNOW.

IT'S JUST A RUMOR.

THE LESBIAN COMMUNITY, IT JUST CAN BE

A HOTBED OF RUMOR AND INNUENDO.

I MEAN,

YOU COULD LOOK AT SOMEONE,

AND 25 PEOPLE WOULD KNOW ABOUT IT

WITHIN AN HOUR.

IF MARINA CONFIDED IN SOMEONE,

I'M SURE IT WAS JUST AS SIMPLE

AS HER SAYING SHE WAS ATTRACTED TO YOU...

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE SHE DID THAT, YOU KNOW?

I DIDN'T SAY SHE DID.

I'M JUST SAYING, WORD TRAVELS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY NEW PASSION.

I BOUGHT A SALVADOR DALI ETCHING THIS WEEK,

AND A DUCHAMPS,

BUT MY FAVORITE PURCHASE BY FAR IS MY NEW CARLA MARIE FREED.

OH, GOD.

SHE WAS BRILLIANT.

SHE WAS COMPLETELY BRILLIANT.

POOR, WRETCHED ADDICT.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CARLA MARIE FREED PHOTOGRAPH?

THAT'S JUST...

THAT'S SO DIFFICULT.

OH, PLEASE, DON'T BE SUCH A PUSSY.

FAVORITE CARLA MARIE FREED PHOTOGRAPH, POST HASTE!

UM...

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY, IT'S "THE LAST TIME I AND YOU?"

I'VE NEVER SEEN THE ORIGINAL.

I MEAN, SHE DESTROYED ALL HER NEGS, YOU KNOW.

EVEN THE REPRODUCTIONS ARE JUST...

I MEAN, SHE PHOTOGRAPHED THE SAME WOMAN

FOR 12 YEARS.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

I MEAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE

THAT ACT OF LOOKING?

LOOKING, AND SEEING, AND RE-SEEING,

JUST TO TRY

TO GET TO THE TRUTH OF SOMEONE.

I MEAN, THERE IS INCREDIBLE MYSTERY AND PASSION

IN THAT WORK, YOU KNOW?

I MET HER JUST BEFORE SHE DIED.

YEAH, IT WAS IN SOME LITTLE BISTRO

IN NEW YORK.

SHE WAS HIGH AS A KITE,

AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS INTRODUCED TO HER,

AND SHE TOLD ME TO GO FUCK MYSELF.

I TOTALLY LOVED HER.

OH, THAT'S FUNNY.

JUST LOVED HER.

I LOVED HER.

COME HERE. FOLLOW ME.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

KEEP THEM CLOSED.

OPEN THEM.

I'M SO HAPPY.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

YOU PROMISED.

ALL RIGHT.

SEE YOU.

BE GOOD, OKAY?

♪ SO I LET MY... ♪

♪ MY EYES OPEN WIDE ♪

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE

HOW JEALOUS I AM OF YOU RIGHT NOW.

YOU'VE BEEN WAITING TO BURST INTO TEARS

AND MAKE A COMPLETE FOOL OF YOURSELF?

YOU KNOW STENDHAL?

THE FRENCH ART CRITIC.

HE WENT TO FLORENCE AND SAW THE CARAVAGGIO.

AND HE BURST INTO TEARS, AND THEN HE FAINTED.

THE WORK OF ART

WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND MOVING,

HE COULDN'T WITHSTAND THE IMPACT.

THE STENDHAL SYNDROME...

"MY HEAD THROWN BACK,

"I LET MY GAZE DWELL ON THE CEILING.

"I UNDERWENT THE PROFOUNDEST EXPERIENCE OF ECSTASY

I HAD EVER ENCOUNTERED."

"I HAD ATTAINED THAT SUPREME DEGREE OF SENSIBILITY

"WHERE THE DIVINE INTIMATIONS OF ART

MERGE WITH THE IMPASSIONED SENSUALITY OF EMOTION..."

YOU HAVE UTTERLY EXHAUSTED ME.

I HAVE TO GO TO SLEEP.

MRS. PEABODY...

PEGGY.

PROVOCATIONS?

IS THERE ANY WAY

THAT I COULD PERSUADE YOU TO...

I HIRED GINA FERRARA TO DO THAT JOB.

I KNOW YOU WOULD HATE IT

IF YOUR EMPLOYERS INTERFERED WITH YOUR AUTONOMY

RUNNING YOUR LITTLE MUSEUM.

WHY WOULD...

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

ARE YOU TRYING TO HURT ME?

HOW DID I HURT YOU, JENNY?

BECAUSE YOU TOLD SOMEONE...

EVERYBODY KNOWS.

SOME PEOPLE GUESSED FROM THE WAY YOU WERE BEHAVING.

LISTEN...

I CAN'T HURT TIM, OKAY?

I UNDERSTAND.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU, I...

I FEEL SO COMPLETELY DISMANTLED.
