- Where are you going?
- I'd like to go to the bathroom.

- Are you coming back?
- Mm-hm. Yeah. Yeah.

Hurry back, lover.

What a les.

- I thought you'd gone.
- I have five minutes.

Can you move your car? The
guys with the tank are here.

What tank?

It's OK. She's gonna move it.

- You gonna move it?
- Is that a birthing tank?

- Since when are we having the baby in water?
- Since I decided to.

- I didn't wanna bother you with it.
- It's six months away.

I got a good deal on it.

- What is Dr Wilson saying?
- She thinks it's great.

- You talked to her but not to me?
- Baby, please, move your car.

Yo! What's up?

- Hi, Slim Daddy.
- Hey. How you doin'?

Pretty good. Thank you for
giving me a ride to the studio.

Why wouldn't I wanna ride
with a beautiful woman?

Miss Porter, d'you want a smoothie?

Yeah. What's in 'em?

- Fruit.
- Tell her what kind.

We got strawberry, orange, some
berry type thing and peanut butter.

- You know, just in case.
- I will take the strawberry.

- You like that?
- Yeah, it's good.

But I think I'd like it better
if I could drink it myself.

You're drinking the peanut butter.

Mr Piddles...

There's something important
I have to tell you.

Do you remember Lara?

Remember how...

... how she used to come
over all the time and...

... stay over sometimes and...

... we'd move around
a lot and... together?

Mr Piddles, Lara's gay.

So am I.

Do you still love me?

You're the best cat
in the world, Mr P...

Shh.

What are you doing here?

I have come to get you out of bed.

Come on. Let's go. I've
had enough of this. Come on.

Oh, shoot. Sorry, Mr Piddles.

- OK. Come on.
- I don't wanna get up.

Some of us have it worse.

Some of us are dating
lesbian men. Come on.

Look at her face.

She's searching for a feeling.

It's like she's longing for faith.

She'd do anything to get it.

To feel it.

I love this work.

Yeah, it's really cool.

- Can I help you?
- Uh, Bette Porter?

- I'm Bette Porter.
- These are for you.

There's no card. Who are these from?

- It doesn't say.
- Tina?

No. Tina's into practical-gift giving.

- Is that supposed to be art?
- It's not supposed to be. It is.

Then I guess Hustler and Penthouse

have been putting out
some pretty good art too.

- Can you make sure he leaves the building?
- Yeah.

What is gonna cheer you up?

Hello? Hello, yeah.

I was wondering if your
refrigerator was running.

Oh, it is?

Go. They said yeah. Come on, do it.

Well, you'd better catch it.

Mom?

- You have got to talk to this woman.
- Why?

If she's coming around...

- It's her. Let's go. Come on.
- No.

Hello? Yes. OK. No, it wasn't funny.

Yeah, she is.

She wants to talk.

Hello.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

But, Mom, I'm not!

OK.

Fine, fine. Fine, OK.

Bye.

- Well?
- I came out to a piece of wood.

- She didn't even mention it.
- That's good. She's accepting it through denial.

She's setting me up on a
blind date with Mildred's son.

At least it's not shock therapy.

What?

What are you doing? Hello.

- I'm getting coffee.
- You're not.

Cherie Jaffe is your six o'clock
and she's not gonna wait for you.

Be nice.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm looking for a Shane McCutcheon.

I'm Shane.

These are Mrs Jaffe's records.

Treatments undergone
in the last five years.

A list of preferred products to be used

and ones you must under
no circumstance use.

If you've read and understand
the information, sign right here.

No problem.

- Thank you.
- All right.

- That's Shane.
- Sorry. What?

- That's Shane.
- Great.

- Hi.
- Hello.

And five, six, seven, eight.

Turn, one, two, three, four
and five, six, seven and eight.

One, two, three, four. And ahead.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Let's try it one more
time. Get back to formation.

And one, two, three, four
and five, six and seven.

Five, six, seven. Again.
One, two, three, four...

- You a fan or are you just watching?
- Hello.

I'm waiting for my sister, Kit Porter.

- Kit's sister?
- Her half-sister.

- The beautiful half, I'm supposin'.
- More like the gay half.

- Is that so?
- Mm-hm.

Mm. That's sexy. Very sexy.

What's the matter with y'all?
We torturing y'all or something?

I got a gang of people that'd
love to be in this position.

I need to fix your faces up.

- You havin' fun yet, baby?
- Yeah, if that's what you wanna call it.

This motherfucker's gonna kill
me. I can't dance unless I drink.

Yeah, that's what I like
to see. Just like that.

Me and your sister,
we had a little talk.

- Did she tell you she was into women?
- Yeah.

That's one thing we have in common.

- Where are your girlfriends at now?
- We don't travel in packs.

It'd be nice if they'd come by,
bring some excitement to this video.

- For me or you?
- We could share.

Yo, Slim, let me tell you what I got.

- He certainly lives up to his reputation.
- Which one?

- He's such a flirt.
- He's a player.

- He plays with everybody.
- I didn't think it was because I was special.

You are special. You're my sister.

Also, will you call Gwynnie and get
three tickets to Coldplay for Clea?

Don't tell her. I wanna
see if she keeps this job.

I'm not about to
reward her if she quits.

I think that's it.

Why don't you go over to
Neiman's and pick up my Manolos?

- Neiman's?
- Yes.

OK.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Tell me what you want.
- I want so many things.

But in terms of what you can
do for me, I want a change.

I want something new.

Excellent. OK.

Yeah. I know what to do.

Take this off.

There are some smocks in the back.

- D'you like it?
- Yes.

It's Prosecco. In northern
Italy they serve it on tap.

Thanks.

It's lovely, isn't it?

Mm-hm.

I like to start with something bubbly.

But champagne can be
too full of expectation.

I like to keep things simple.

- So how did you meet Harry?
- Through a friend.

I have to say, when he told
me I should come see you,

I thought he was full of shit. As usual.

But then Ellie Zimmer
walked into the LACMA benefit

and I almost didn't recognise her.

That woman has not
looked good in 12 years.

There she was, looking stunning.

You did an amazing job.

Thank you.

So how did you get Harry
to fall in love with you?

Well, I didn't sleep with him.

- The Gift of the Magi is a perfect story.
- Talk about economy of language.

If it's a success, it'll
travel to New York and LA.

There were extraordinary
people involved.

Are you referring to yourself?

- And a few others.
- Such as the prima ballerina.

She was pretty terrific.

Francesca was a big fan
of the prima ballerina.

I had sex with her. Marina's
pretending to be jealous.

It's just the way it happened. This
woman is getting a costume fitting,

and Francesca proceeded to seduce her.

Which I think is a bit unethical.

You do?

- Do you find that hard to believe?
- Yeah.

Ethical isn't the first word that
comes to mind when I think of Marina.

You sound angry.

No.

Well, she's beautiful,

and that compensates for a
multitude of sins, doesn't it?

Come on! It's a compliment to
be the topic of conversation.

Isn't that right, Jenny?

Yes.

Harry, you asshole. Thank you
for begging me to go to Shane.

- Say hello.
- Hello, Harry.

No. It's amazing. She's a genius.

For giving me a great haircut
and for not sleeping with you.

So call me when you get
out of your K-hole, OK?

- Thank you, Mrs Jaffe.
- Give that to Shane.

- I love my hair.
- Gorgeous.

After you. See you again.

- Shane.
- What?

- Mrs Jaffe left this for you.
- Cool.

200 bucks. Nice work.
Don't forget to sweep up.

Don't do that.

I want you to know how difficult
it's been to get you out of my mind.

- Why are you saying that?
- You act like you're the only one with feelings.

- That's because you act so cold.
- Why did you accept this invitation?

To see why someone would work so hard

to make someone fall in love with them.

Work so hard? That's a
great assessment on who I am.

- Tell me who you are.
- You keep asking me that.

Obviously you're not paying attention.

You know what's so sad?

It's that you don't know
how much you mean to me.

- I thought it was quiet down here.
- Sorry.

It's OK.

Is it?

When Marina focuses on you,

you feel like you're
the only one that exists.

It's her gift.

I don't blame you for
falling in love with her.

But maybe you use your
gift a little too freely.

- What's this?
- That's the wine Jenny brought.

Guess I'll open this, then.

Jenny, tell me about the
story you've been writing.

The one about the demons.

Marina says it's really
quite good. Is it finished?

So this is what the two of you do.

You make these little conquests

and then you go home
and you compare notes.

You make each other jealous in
order to find the other desirable.

I wouldn't be so self-righteous.

You're not exactly
an innocent bystander.

Classy.

I'm sorry the evening
turned out like this,

but there's something
you have to understand.

When I go away, Marina can do
whatever she wants, as can I.

But when I come back, I want
my home the way I've left it.

I hope that isn't too much to ask.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

- Jen.
- Mm-hm?

D'you feel like watching
a really bad kung-fu movie?

Yeah.

It's pretty stupid. Kinda what
I'm in the mood for, though.

No, stupid is good.

Come here.

Come on.

I love you so much.

Are you mad that I made a decision?

No.

I just... I just feel a little left out.

I... get this feeling from you

that you're so proud to be with me,

and it makes me feel
really safe and loved.

It's great.

But lately I haven't been feeling it.

So I've just been... trying
to concentrate on myself...

... and... I've been trying
not to get scared about it.

Hi. Morning.

Morning.

I love being here with you.

Can I tell you something?

It's over. Between Marina and me.

I went over to her and her
girlfriend's last night.

I have never met anybody
like that in my life.

It's all about their egos.
They don't care who they hurt.

They just draw you into this
web for some kind of a sport.

I'm not gonna see her ever again.

I threw a bottle of wine at their house.

- What are you doing?
- I took a giant fucking step backwards.

I don't wanna be back
together with you, Jenny.

I don't know who you are.

You start talking about
Marina and her girlfriend

and how phoney and
manipulative they are,

and all I can think is that's
you, that's who you've become.

It's like you've done this
thing and you can't wash it off.

It's in you.

I don't want it in me.

Fuck you, Tim.

I am not apologising any more.

- Gonna answer that?
- No.

- It's Lisa.
- Let me see it.

- Guys, I need IDs.
- Right.

Hello? No, she stepped away
from her phone for just a minute.

OK. All right. Hold on a second.

OK, here. He says he
can hear you breathing.

- IDs.
- Yes.

- Here you go.
- We're here to see Kit Porter.

I don't know. Let me ask.

Do you feel like subconsciously

we forgot to invite Lisa
'cause he's a bit different?

- Yes.
- Give me the phone.

Hey, Lise. Hi. Look, it
completely slipped our minds.

Look, you have to stop
being such a lesbian.

No, it's not cute, and you
are gonna chase the girls away.

- I'm not showing anything.
- She should've left our names.

- Yo, is there a problem?
- Sorry. I can't let these women in.

Sure you can. They with us.
These are Slim Daddy's people.

- All of 'em?
- Yeah.

This one's his business manager.
That one's his accountant.

Blondie in the back, that's his PR lady.

And this one here, she's his white lady.

And this one over here...

... she's a friend,
came along for the ride.

- You cool with that?
- Yeah, I'll set 'em up with some passes.

- Thanks. Appreciate it.
- Thanks.

Thank you.

Slim Daddy'd like to
discuss some business plans

with you if you got a minute.

Surely he would want
his accountant there too.

- I don't know about that.
- As his business manager, I'd have to insist.

Yo, Slim. I got a little
something hooked up for you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Hey.
- What's up?

- Who is this?
- This is my partner, Tina.

- Hello.
- What's up, Tina? How you doin'?

- I'm good.
- You got a business relationship?

Oh, we're life partners.

Y'all married?

I see. So you got yourself
a little commitment, huh?

You think your sister'd be
interested? Or is she with a chick?

- No, Kit is not gay.
- You said she was.

I said I was.

She gonna kill me when she finds out

the direction I took with this video.

- Shit. I feel like I did this.
- No, look, she's having fun.

She's being mounted.

Let's cut. Cut it. Everyone
back to first positions, please.

Playback.

Action.

I wanna do that dance.

- You do not wanna do that dance.
- This is hard. You see this?

It requires a sense of
rhythm you don't possess.

At all.

- You two married too?
- Us? We're just freewheelin'.

- Who's this?
- I'm Shane.

I'm sorry. Have a seat.

It's like some weird
carnival here or something.

Let's cut. Cut it.

I can't do this. I can't do this.

I love the song and I
really wanna be in the video,

but I just can't be in it like this.

When I stopped drinking,
I promised myself

I would never make a
fool of myself again.

Look, it's my bad. I put
the ladies in the video

'cause I thought this was your thing.

You did that for me? That was sweet.

It's not about the girls.

It's just that I ain't 20
and I ain't nobody's hoochie.

Why am I putting
myself through all this?

If they don't like me and my song,
this is not gonna convince 'em.

Sorry to interrupt, but I have to
keep shooting. Are you in or not?

If it wasn't for Kit,
wouldn't none of us be here.

Wouldn't be no song, no video to shoot.

What you meant to say was

you better figure out how
to get this right, right?

There's someone here to see you.

- Hi.
- Hello.

Cherie's hosting a benefit this evening

and she'd like you to do her hair.

- Tonight?
- At five. Can I let her know you'll be there?

- Yeah.
- Excellent choice. Here's the directions.

Thanks.

Be on time. Mrs Jaffe gets
grumpy when she's made to wait.

Bette.

Coffee. So, as far as I've figured out,

the people responsible are the
Coalition for Concerned Citizens.

They've all but stood up
and said that they did it.

They've been tracking
the show since New York,

but they're all ready to get serious

here in LA because, as they see it,

LA is the capital of
filth and degradation.

- They sent these?
- Yeah.

- When did they arrive?
- Couple of days ago.

I thought it was junk mail.

OK. Get me as much
information as you can.

Just find out who runs the
thing and who funds them, OK?

Runs and funds. Yeah.

- Hello, miss.
- Hi.

- I parked there. Is that OK?
- Yes.

The missus, she wait for you upstairs.

OK.

- Hello.
- Hi.

OK, so, should I... Shall
I do what I did last time?

I was hoping for a little more.

Well, what kind of more?

- Lots more.
- Oh.

I see.

It's good for you.

You're constantly complaining
about feeling sluggish.

- Not constantly.
- Pretty close.

And lately I feel like you bring
that fatigue into the bedroom.

I make love to you and
then you're too tired.

I don't wanna make you but I don't
have an orgasm. It's frustrating.

You're pumping me full of
spirulina so you can come?

No. I'm just saying
you don't eat that well.

If you just cut out the
red meat, it might help.

I'll be back in a minute.

- Hi. I'm Dana Fairbanks.
- Andrew. Sit down.

Andrew. Thanks.

- So...
- So...

- I talked to your mom on the phone.
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.

- She said you're a tennis player.
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It's fun, you know. It's
fun. It's hard work, though.

Well, it shows. You have
a really beautiful body.

- Yeah. OK.
- I don't understand why you need to be set up.

- When I saw your picture...
- Was it a Subaru ad?

- A Subaru ad?
- The slogan was "Get out and stay out."

- Like an outdoorsy kind of...
- Gay thing?

Yeah. Look...

That's me. I'm... I'm a lesbian.

I won't have sex with
you and another woman.

I just wanna have sex
with a woman. I'm that gay.

I'm sorry you had to come all
the way out here and do this.

It's OK.

Great.

That's great. Well,
gosh. All right, then.

- Great meeting you.
- Good to meet you.

Take care.

- Way to go.
- Score.

Hi.

- Alice. Nice to meet you.
- Andrew.

You handled that really well.

- Hey.
- How'd it go?

I feel great.

It happened so fast, I
couldn't think of anything else.

So, Andrew, you're straight?

- Yes.
- Completely? No shades of grey or anything?

- Uh, none.
- Wow. Fascinating.

So you have no sexual ambiguity,
no variation on your orientation?

Is she flirting with him?

You're not hiding a vagina in there?

One testicle?

Yeah. I just told my first straight guy

that I was gay and not
even to bother trying.

Good for you. Congratulations.

You're fucking amazing.

I can't wait to tell Harry.
He's gonna be so jealous.

- Cherie.
- Oh, my God!

- Cherie!
- Oh, fuck!

Shit!

- Do you have everything?
- Yeah.

- Hello?
- You always interrupt when I'm not ready.

- I thought you'd be dressed by now.
- I'm just getting my hair done.

- Looks good.
- It's the just-fucked look.

Yeah? Well, it works for me.

- Hi.
- Ah, you must be Shane.

- My hands are wet.
- That's OK.

- You look great.
- It's good to put a face to the name.

- Harry won't stop talking about you.
- She's the best.

Yeah. OK.

Let me see. Excellent.

- You look lovely. Nice to meet you.
- See you.

- So, if I need a touch-up I'll call you?
- Yeah, yeah.

Yo. Hey, whoa. Hold on a second there.

- Cherie said she forgot to pay you.
- No.

It's your money. You have
talent. You made my wife look hot.

I thought I was gonna
bang her right there.

Know how many married men think
that about their own wives?

None. You could be a
gold mine, you know that?

- Thank you.
- Got my eye on you.

- Oh, good, you got them.
- I had to go to three different book stores.

- Monkeys Go On Strike.
- Monkeys Go On Strike is my favourite.

Second only to Aardvark Makes Pasta.

- That's great.
- My dad read these to me when I was little.

Are you always reading
to Tina's stomach?

It's reading to the baby, James.

Shit. I'm late for a doctor's
appointment with Tina.

Can you finish gathering the information

and have it ready in the morning?

Got everything you need? Good luck.

Ten bucks says Tina laughs
at Monkeys Go On Strike.

Bye. See you tomorrow.

- Excuse me. Do you work at the museum?
- Yes.

- Great. Has Isabella Pernao's work arrived?
- I'm not at liberty to say.

But you're expecting it? The
work blaspheming Jesus Christ?

The piece references a Jesus
figure in a symbolic way.

How is Miss Pernao's work
relevant to anyone, Miss Porter,

except to degrade and offend
anyone of the Christian faith?

We have to have other perspectives.

Not everyone is of the Christian faith.

Art is a mirror of the world we live in.

- The world that we live in is a godless one?
- That's not what I said.

Miss Porter, do you have children?

- A simple question.
- My partner and I are expecting a baby.

Shame on you, Miss Porter. Shame.

You are making this world a darker place

for your child to live in. Miss Porter!

Do you think that the
fact that you're homosexual

makes you morally bankrupt?

By your definition I'm a pervert,

since you're trying to say only
a pervert could show this work.

Thank you for your frankness.

And I hope you liked the flowers.

They're just my way of
saying nothing personal.

Fae Buckley.

Bingo.

I didn't say that. I said I'd
made some interesting choices.

Sounds like you made
some pretty bad ones.

What was that mandate?

Simple boy-on-girl sex
with no complicated stuff?

Alice.

Fuck. OK. All right, I might
have to ask you to leave.

Shit.

Hi.

- How can you do this?
- Lisa...

Dude, your name's Lisa? Harsh.

- It's my taken name.
- We weren't doing anything.

He represents everything that is wrong,

and you wanna have sex with him.

- Take it easy.
- I don't have to! I'm her lesbian lover!

Whoa. Just got not worth it.

- I'll call you.
- Sure.

- You got your work cut out.
- Dyke drama. You know how it is.

No.

Lisa, when I started seeing you,
I wanted something simple and easy.

Instead I end up with
the most complicated

interpretation of sexual identity ever.

You do lesbian better
than any lesbian I know.

I don't want a lesbian
boyfriend. I'm sorry.

I want a boyfriend who's straight
or a lesbian who's a girl.

Hello. I'm sorry I'm so late.

You would not believe what
happened to me if I told you.

Is Tina not here yet or
am I later than I thought?

Please...

... have a seat.

- Where's Tina?
- Bette, I'm afraid I have some bad news.

During our examination I was
unable to locate a heartbeat.

The foetus has stopped thriving.

This is usually due to
some congenital problem.

It's the body's own way
of ending a pregnancy.

It's really very common
in first-time pregnancies,

more so than is even talked about.

Stay here, OK? I'll be right back.

What do you think you're doing?

- Telling people the truth.
- You shut that off. You have no right.

That stuff you're showing,
it's pornography, it's filth...

- This is my home, my family!
- You have no right to corrupt children!

Tell Fae Buckley if she ever,

ever tries something like
this again, she will regret it!

You're going to hell!
