All language subtitles for The L Word (2004) S05E09 Liquid Heat.en

Previously on The L Word.

This board has been convened for
the reason of homosexual conduct.

It seems wrong
to watch the person that I love

be interrogated like a criminal.

The person you love?

Alice Pieszecki.

Did you win? You look happy.

Williams, you're going
to be missed around here.

What the fuck am I going to do
with these she-bitches?

- Man...
- You got them closed down.

What else would you want?

Richard was a bore.
That's why we broke up.

You can't just throw away everything
the two of you have built together.

You're one to talk.

- Where are you going?
- To go gay for Shane.

Call me in a little bit
and we'll talk about it.

I love you.

"Is Niki a lez girl?" Have you seen this?

- I'm going to fucking pull her.
- No...

The last thing I need is
the teen boy demographic thinking

that Niki Stevens doesn't like dick!

I have an idea.

We need her to be
photographed at her premiere

with someone, hip and hot...

Beautiful!

It's a scorcher out there, folks,

and according to
the National Weather Ser vice,

we won't get relief
from the triple-digit heat

until sometime early next week.

You boys ready?
Okay, let's get that camera on set.

Did you load the 500T?

California state officials ha ve confirmed
at least two heat-related deaths...

I bet it's against union rules
to make us work in this kind of heat.

- Remember to stay hydrated.
- Yeah. Thanks, man.

Water?

...also threatening
to cause power outages.

- He has what?
- It's an Elmo.

- A what?
- An Elmo tattoo.

What grown man gets Elmo
tattooed on his ass?

- How long is it going take to cover?
- You know, in this heat,

it's hard to get the make-up
to adhere to his butt cheeks.

It's all running down his crack.

Look.

Maybe the character would have
an Elmo ass tattoo?

- Then we wouldn't have to cover it.
- No.

- No.
- All right.

Okay, here we go, let's lock it up.

And roll sound, please.

Sixty-nine, take one. A only. Mark.

All right, people. Quiet down.

Okay.

And...

- Action.
- What's going on?

What? What is... What the fuck is this?

I think we're having a power failure.

- What?
- Shit!

Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!

Here we go. Back on.

Okay.

Okay, listen up, everybody.

So Cal Edison is doing
the rolling blackouts again,

so let's shoot while we can.
Let's have finals, please.

Want a blast?

Yeah. Please. Thank you.

Apparently this is earthquake weather.

Go ahead, bitch. Bring it on.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
I'll get over it. Thank you.

Sixty-nine, take two. A only. Mark.

And, action.

Okay. Cut. Cut, cut, cut, cut.
Okay, you guys.

That's actually... That's not the scene.

Okay? This is an obligatory fuck.
You don't want to fuck him.

You don't like having sex
with this guy, okay?

Okay, but, I mean,

he's been my boyfriend
for, like, three years, right?

I mean, why would I hate
having sex with him now?

- That's what I was kind of thinking, too.
- Thanks, Fallon. I got this.

Because you're in love with Karina. Okay?

You probably don't like
having sex with that guy.

Just because I like women
doesn't mean I have to hate men.

I mean, come on, Jenny.
Is this a man-hating movie?

It's not a man-hating film,
but the scene, as written,

is about the experience of being forced
to have sex with this guy

when, the night before, you've just had

the most beautiful,
mind-blowing sex with a woman.

Now this hairy guy
is just pounding you, like...

What does that do? It hurts.
And you want to cry.

Okay? Is that okay with you? Yeah?

Yeah, okay. Thank you.

- Is that okay?
- Yeah.

Thanks.

Here we go, then. Let's lock it up, please.
And, roll sound.

Sound speed.

Thanks. Settle. Settle, settle, settle.

Sixty-nine, take three. A only. Mark.

Action.

Okay, cut! Cut! Okay.
It looks like you love fucking this guy.

You don't like fucking him, okay?
Do you understand that?

Hang on a sec. Look at me.

Did you fuck him?

Can I have my... Can we just...

Lock it up? Again. Thanks.

Jenny, listen to me, okay?

Please? I was drunk. It was after the party.

It meant nothing, okay? It was a mistake.

I understand. You felt pressured.

I mean, they're pressuring me,
and they're making...

They're saying that
I'm this heterosexual sex symbol now,

and, I swear to God, Jenny,
I wish it was you, and I'm so sorry.

And I will never do it again to you.

Thanks. Can I just have a minute
with the other actor?

Thanks. Hey, Fallon,
can I just talk to you for one sec?

- Yeah. Yeah, boss, what is it?
- Hey.

I just wanted to talk to you
about fucking your co-star.

Do you realize how irresponsible
and destructive that is?

I didn't... I didn't think it was...

It's unprofessional. Okay?

You've tampered with the chemistry
between the two of you.

It is a vile and despicable act. All right?

You're fired.

- What?
- Get out of here.

- It's pitch fucking black. I can't...
- Get the fuck off my set.

Fuck this shit.

So, I called Joey Monahan
and I said, "Go ahead. Take us to court.

"Because you've got
our final best offer on the table,

"and no judge in California
is going to let you walk away

"with anything like
what we're stipulating."

They're going to take
one look at your client

and they're going to say,

"Pull your socks up, man,
and go back to work.

"Stop whining like a girl."

"Whining like a girl."
Leonard always whines like a girl.

- What did Joey say?
- He caved.

- Yes!
- I made him sweat like a pig.

Even more than I'm sweating right now
in this blasted heat.

We should have documents
to sign tomorrow.

I want Molly to meet you.

She's having second thoughts
about law school.

She wants to take a semester off.

I thought Molly was in Leonard's camp.

She's just angry.
You would be such an inspiration for her.

Joyce.

If you and I were still...
I mean, if I hadn't been so foolish...

No. You made your choice.
I accepted it. Didn't I?

Yeah. You gave me my space
to run around like a crazy adolescent.

Okay, Phyllis, I want you to listen to me.

It's understandable,

given that we've just had
this little triumph together,

and given how smoldering hot
the two of us were in the sack,

it's understandable
that you might be feeling

a tiny bit amorous towards me right now.

I'm just trying to stand by
my convictions here, my dear.

But you are making it awfully difficult
in that sweet little

slip of a frock.

Sweetie?

Joyce?

You're sitting on my shirt.

- What?
- Sitting on my shirt.

Let it go.

This is it, man.

I had to fight some old snooty woman
at the bodega for the last of it, man,

but I got it. Yes!

This hot-ass earthquake weather, man,
just makes people mean! Just mean!

Hey, Kit, are you going to that
sit-downy thing?

I don't know.
You know, I don't... I don't trust them.

I do not trust those SheBar bitches,

coming up in here
with some old mobster crap.

I mean, let me read this to you.

"We request your presence
at a sit-down to mediate grievances

"and lesbo turf at the SheBar.
Lunch will be served."

Are these bitches crazy?

I know. Thanks.

And everyone got one of those. Me too.
I met them once. But I was stoned.

Why do they want you to go?

No idea.

Well, they must be working some angle.

Well, maybe you should come with me
and protect me.

Just in case.

Well, you have to go
to the sit-down, Kit, for sure.

You know, hear what they have to say.

You know,
negotiations work sometimes, Kit.

Okay. All right.
But the first sign of bullshit, I walk.

Jenny. Jenny.

Listen to me, okay? Stop! Stop, all right?

You can't fire Greg! You can't fire him.
Are you listening to me?

Do you know what the fuck you're doing?

Jenny, Jenny, it's William
on the phone for you.

Jenny, you have to take this.
He's calling from Dubai.

Oh, God. Give me a break.

Don't worry about it.
Everything's going to be fine.

Fine? She just fired

the only male lead actor
in her fucking movie.

- It's not fine, Adele.
- I know.

But right now he's telling her
to march right back in,

apologize to Greg, and rehire him.

What? Will she listen to him?

Yeah. I think Jenny will listen to William.

- Fuck. Oh, God.
- Don't worry.

Excuse me. I'm wondering if any of you

have seen dumb-shit actor boy around?

No? No one's seen him? Adele?

- Yeah.
- Hey.

Could you find Mr. Fallon for me?

- Yeah. Sure.
- Thanks.

I can see that you're talking about me.

I can also see
that you're talking about me,

so, I just want to say, yes, it's true,

I did lose my temper,

and now I'm on my way
to apologize to Mr. Fallon,

and I have made a mistake,

and the dumb-shit actor boy
is no longer fired. Okay?

Everybody, go back to work. Now. Go.

Jesus, I cannot wait to get
these fucking clothes off.

I had to do it! It was so hot.

Hello?

Hey. Do you have power at CU?

I'm at home, actually.
It was unbearably hot at school.

I mean, it's, like,
10 degrees hotter downtown.

I think I have to shut down production.

These rolling blackouts
are costing us a fortune.

Well, we've canceled classes.

Are you going to go to this,
this SheBar gathering thing?

I think I have to go.
Kit really wants me to be there.

Maybe I won't go, then.

What, you think we can't
be in the same room together?

I think it would be hard.

Yeah, I know. It's hard for me, too.

Can you hold on a sec?

- I'm just going to put you on speaker.
- Sure.

So, are we still on for Dan tonight?

Yeah. 6:00.
Hopefully it'll be a lot cooler by then.

Although it wasn't last night.

How's Angie holding up?

Oh, m y God...

They need you on Stage Two.

Okay, I know that already. Thanks.
I'll be there.

She was so cute, Bette.

I had to explain to her why we couldn't
turn on the air conditioner

during these rolling blackouts,
so she went to play group

and she made this little fan,
and she brought it home,

and then we took turns fanning ourselves.

You know, you guys could
come over here and use the pool.

Bette.

Well, listen, I got to get off.

Okay, I'll see you tonight. Bye.

- Who was it?
- Tina.

We're having
some parenting disagreements.

We're going to go see
the therapist together tonight.

Good for you.

Hey.

I just... I wanted to come tell you
that we're going to shut down for the day.

- It's costing us way too much money.
- Yeah, I figured.

Do you want to maybe
go out to dinner one night this week?

You know, I don't think so.

- Okay.
- Tina, I think you're great.

You know that.

I think you're great, too, Sam.

But that dinner party was awkward
and uncomfortable, and...

I just think I'm going to take a step back
until you and Bette resolve your stuff.

Is it that obvious?

- Neon.
- Shit.

If it makes you feel any better,
I don't think anybody else noticed.

I'm sorry, Sam.

It's cool.

We are trying to resolve it.

We're actually,
we're seeing a therapist together

to try to understand, you know...

- I hope it helps.
- It's crazy.

Neither one of us ever thought that
anything like this would ever, you know...

I mean, it was really over. It was so over.

Apparently not.

I do feel for Jodi, though.
She's a terrific girl.

Yeah.

She's nice.

Okay.

Niki?

Niki, come on!

She left as soon as we called wrap.

- What?
- She's gone.

You're wet.

It should feel good!

I was almost dry.

I'll make you wet again.

Don't. Please. It's really too fucking hot.

No, that's not it.

Really, it's just so hot. Please.

Bullshit.

What's going on?

I'm in love with Tina.

What? Did you say something?

I'm unhappy.

Unhappy how?

I'm unhappy with...

I'm unhappy with work
and I just don't want to burden you with it.

I want you back...

Your mind,

and your heart,

and your body.

I miss you.

Hey.

Hi.

You know, Jenny,
you can go home and get some rest.

Okay, will you please
put this in an envelope.

- Yeah.
- And give it to Niki?

Of course.

I wrote a love letter.

Will you read it and tell me if it sucks?

Hey.

Come here.

Can you tell her to meet me here, tonight?

- I'll tell her.
- Okay. Thanks.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How are you?

Wipe those tears. Are you okay?

Well, are you going to come with me

to that big,
dumb mafia sit-down at SheBar?

- No.
- Why not?

I'm going to sit right there
and I'm going to wait for Niki.

- No, you're not.
- Why?

'Cause. That's weak.

- But I am weak.
- No, you're not. You're not weak.

You're the boss of this place!

You could fire everybody here,
if you wanted to.

That's not true.

What would you do?
Would you go out and fuck someone?

Probably.

I'd go out and have meaningless sex
with someone I didn't care about.

Come on, come with me to SheBar.
Please.

I don't want to have sex
with anybody but Niki.

Well, look,
I have a straight-girl crush that...

That will not go away. So I'm...

Hold it right there.
I need to see your invitations.

Are you fucking serious? Get off of me.

Spread them, sweetheart.

You could've at least
asked me out for dinner.

- Stop.
- McCutcheon. Schecter.

Right this way.

God, this is fucking crazy.

I know, it's total four families, isn't it?
It's Cuban!

Hello, ladies. So glad you all could make it.

So, Double-D, what's the...
Is this... Is this her?

What's the deal with this to-do, huh?

Well, I thought we should all get together,
clear the air, you know,

get rid of some of the hostilities.

It really pains me to see
what could've been a bountiful friendship

reduced to bad feelings and acrimony.

Bountiful friendship? You came into town
and you pissed all over every one of us.

No, on the contrary,
it was you who abused us.

- What?
- Yeah.

Cindi and I came to your fair city
wanting to settle down

and open up a nice little lesbian hangout.

And then we cordially invite Shane here
to share a little sex amongst friends,

and then what does she do?

She breaks that trust
by seducing my girlfriend.

Denbo, you need to start
singing a new song,

'cause, first of all, I did not seduce her,
and, secondly, you told me it was okay.

- No, she didn't.
- Yes, she did.

- Dawn...
- Shut it.

You know, I've got an idea.

What if you kept your mouth shut
for two seconds

and you actually let your girlfriend talk?

Because she's got nothing to say.

Go fuck yourself.

See, I thought that was something.

As I was saying, I understandably reacted,
because in Miami, that shit doesn't fly,

and then insults were traded,
and one of you,

I'm not mentioning any names,
called the police on our establishment.

You infested The Planet with rats.

Just because you have a health problem
with your establishment

does not give you the right to try
and close someone else's business down.

You actually tried to shut down my film.

You did not have permits
for that neighborhood.

You were bothering
my friends with children...

This is bullshit, Kit.
Why are you even talking to these jokers?

I'm sorry, I don't think I know you.

Tasha.

It's actually Captain Tasha Williams.

And she's here to kick some ass
and take names if necessary.

That is so awesome.

- Really, Cindi?
- What? What? It's impressive.

You know, Tasha's got a point here.

I really shouldn't sit here
and listen to all this bullshit.

I should just kick your motherfucking ass.

Be careful what you say next, Miss Porter.

I'm trying to be civil here,
in the interest of both our businesses,

but if you want this to escalate,
we can do that, too.

Well, what you think you're going to do?

All right, come on! Come on.
This is supposed to be a peace summit.

You're never going to get a peace summit,

because you can never believe
a single thing

that comes out of this asshole's mouth.

What did you fucking just call me?

Enough! Enough!

What do you want, Denbo?

What do I want, what do I want...

- Turf.
- Turf?

We can divide up the town.

You can have Wednesdays and Saturdays,
and we'll take Fridays and Sundays.

Kit wants Mondays too.

Kit wants Mondays.
Kit wants Mondays. Fine.

- But we get Superbowl weekend.
- Fine.

Hey! No poaching customers.

That goes both ways.

Now there's just a little
question of restitution.

Restitution?

Restitution.

For emotional hardship.

Are you fucking kidding me?

No, my honor was maligned,
and that of my lover, Cindi's.

And how do you propose
that we restore this lost honor?

We want parts in your movie.

My movie? No way.

I don't want a fucking part
in your movie, just Cindi.

Why would I give your lover, Cindi,
a part in my film?

'Cause she's goddamned gorgeous!
Look at her.

Why wouldn't you give her
a part in your movie?

Well, I think she has a face like an extra.

So you can be an extra in my movie.

No, no, no. She has to have a line.
Something plugging SheBar.

Absolutely not. No fucking way.

That's really too bad.

I wouldn't want
another production mishap

to befall your little shoot.

You know, I have a brother, Joey,

who's near and dear to me.
He's a teamster...

Go fuck yourself.

Now, why would I do that
when I can fuck you?

You are so tacky.

I think she's psychotic. What do I do?

Give her a small part.

Okay.

I've thought about it. And, you, Cindi,

can play the role of
Partygoer Number Four.

Thank you.

Well, I think our business is done here.

- We're not finished.
- You'd better be soon.

We want a shout out
to SheBar on The Look.

Fuck no, Denbo.

A mention on The Look
is worth millions in advertising.

Millions? Millions, that's about right, yeah.

There is no way I'm promoting SheBar
and I'm not promoting The Planet.

You're not?
Well, then I think we're done here.

Cindi?

Bette? Podcast?

Alice will give a mention to SheBar,
and The Planet, but not on The Look.

She'll mention both of them
on her podcast.

Okay, podcast it is. What do you say, Kit?

Deal?

How do we know
that you'll keep your word?

My word's all I got.
You're just going to have to trust me.

Did you decorate this in the '80s?

Come on, you guys.

Thanks. I'll see you sometime.

Bye, Shane.

She'll be waiting for her call time.

Are you sure
you still want to do this, Alice?

Because it's so hot in here
without the air conditioning.

Yeah, I mean, if you are, I'm ready.

I'm so happy to be out of there.

I didn't think we were going to
get out alive.

- Did you?
- No,

I didn't even want to go in the first place.

So, is that thing ready for me?

Yes. You just have to press the red button.

- Red button...
- Yeah, the little red button.

All right.

- Okay.
- I need a signal.

A signal.

Signal? How's that for a signal?

Good? So...

Hi there! I'm Alice,
and this is Alice in Lesboland,

and today, I have my colleague
Max Sweeney with me.

Hi, everybody.

As some of you may know,
Max is sort of our behind-the-scenes

techie guy on OurChart,

and he recently did a blog
about being a trans guy,

and it kind of pissed some of you off,

and I said some things
that weren't so cool, apparently,

and I just wanted to apologize
publicly to Max.

So, I'm sorry, Max.

Actually you said that
I wasn't part of your community.

Which is... It's more than
just kind of uncool.

- Wouldn't you say?
- Yeah!

I would, yes. And I'm very sorry.

After I said that, I heard from one of
our guestbian bloggers, Kate Kendell,

who's also the director
of the National Center for Lesbian Rights,

and she told me that I sucked

and was full of shit
for the same reason, so...

- I am sorry.
- Thanks, Kate!

I guess I just kind of figured that

you would understand
the importance of inclusion.

Of course I do.
I just think they're really different.

I think being bisexual is just more natural,

and I think that trans, sort of,
it's a little hard for people to swallow.

I think they're very different.

Well, the main argument
against homosexuality

is that it's not natural,

and that it's not what
real men and women do, right?

And, I mean, if you're going to talk about
sexism and homophobia,

and reproductive rights,

and all the other stuff
I heard you talking about

last week on The Look,
then, I mean, you've got to accept us.

You've got to stop marginalizing
your transgendered sisters and brothers.

I hear you.

So, again, I am sorry.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's something...

There you go.

Wait, I thought Jodi liked chai latte?

It's for Tina.
We're going to a therapy session together.

Just to talk about Angie.

Now I know you're bullshitting me,

because there ain't nothing wrong
with baby girl.

We're going to talk about parenting.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Bette.

Fuck. Come back here.

Don't you dare!

- Don't I dare do what?
- Don't you dare do that to Jodi.

I'm not trying to do anything to anyone.

Well, you just better be careful.

That's why we're going to see a therapist.

- Please don't say anything.
- To who?

I don't know.

Working at OurChart's
been totally awesome, actually.

You're a way better boss than my last one.

- Good.
- Even if you were being

- kind of trans-phobic, or whatever.
- Yeah.

- You know.
- Thanks.

I mean, he tries to set me up
with his daughter, right?

And I'm not out at work,
so they don't know

that I'm not a bio guy.

- Hi.
- Hi.

This is Richard. Shane.

- Richard?
- Yeah.

I've heard a lot about you.
Nice to meet you, Richard.

Good stuff.

Part of the big oil business, aren't you?

I told her about your internship
with Plesker-Petersen.

Which he quit,
because he decided it was immoral,

and after I told him
that we were breaking up

because he was
an environmental criminal.

- Hi.
- Hi! I'm sorry.

- Podcast!
- Right, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. This is... This is Molly,
this is Phyllis' daughter.

Hi.

I'm familiar with Phyllis.

- Yeah.
- Hey, I'm Max.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How's it going?
- Have fun.

Well, listen, Richard, welcome to WeHo.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.

You know that Jenny gave away a part
in your movie, by the way?

To that girl, her... Cindi. The lover. Cindi.

I can't believe Jenny gave
a part in the movie to Cindi.

- Yeah.
- That's crazy. Wait.

Can you hold that for one second?

Yeah. That's all your production needs.

So how much money do you stand to lose

when you have to
shut down production for the day?

Well, it depends if the crew's already on,
you know, that could suck,

and, then, if the crew's not on,
then it depends on

how many locations we've secured...

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

- Jesus. What were we thinking?
- God damn.

They said the rolling blackouts were over.

There might be
some kind of spontaneous...

- Shit, look at that.
- What the fuck is that?

- Fuck! I can't get a signal.
- God. Okay.

I don't like this. I don't like it.

It's going to get really fucking hot in here

in about two seconds.
I cannot take the heat.

I'm going to have a panic attack,
I know I am.

Bette, just breathe.
Okay? Breathe? Deep breath.

I don't want to breathe too deep.
I'll take up all the oxygen.

No, no, you won't. It's going to be fine.

Jesus, it is fucking hot
in this city of yours.

Hey!

- Where have you been?
- I got a show.

- I've been painting like a maniac.
- Really?

- I didn't even know you were an artist.
- Yeah.

I'm not a big, rich artist like Jodi,
which is why I interpret for her.

- To pay the bills, right?
- Exactly.

So, where's your girlfriend?

If you mean Grace, she's in San Francisco.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

It's really nice to see you.

Good, because I've actually
been thinking about you.

Yeah?

Which is why I haven't come around,
because it was kind of freaking me out.

Yeah. I get it.

It's cool.

Max.

Would you sit with me for a minute?

I was actually thinking
maybe you'd like to go out sometime?

- What, you mean, like, on a date?
- Yeah, like a date.

Yeah. Sure.

Maybe tonight?

All right.

Yeah.

Con Edison reporting
a major power outage...

- Hey.
- Hey.

What are you doing?

I'm feeling what 6:00 p.m. feels like.

I'm never home by 6:00 p.m.
I'm usually stuck on the 405.

I have nothing
that I'm supposed to be doing right now.

Do you think Dan even
knows we're in here?

I'm sure he's doing everything he can.

What do you think
he would say to us right now

if we were in session with him?

He would probably ask
what each of us wants.

And we would say we don't know.

And he would ask,

"What are you afraid of, Tina?"

Fucking it all up.

What else are you afraid of, Tina?

I'm afraid of

what everyone will think of us,
how they'll judge us,

how hurt Jodi will be.

She already knows
there's something wrong.

- Did you tell her about us?
- God, no.

I've been such a fucking coward.
I haven't...

You know, but it's not like we really...

I don't know, it was never just easy.

What do you mean, never easy?

Well, we don't share
the same values, Jodi and I.

- Do you think we share the same values?
- Of course I do!

I mean, I think that's why
we were able to parent together

when things were
the most acrimonious between us.

I mean, it's so fucking rare, Tina.

We both care about the quality of life.

You know, and I like
the choices you make,

and the things that you
surround yourself with.

I mean, there's attention to beauty,
and I think that's important.

And I'm comfortable with, you know,
the people in your world,

and I think you're comfortable
with the people in mine.

We like the same people.

And we dislike the same people.

Yes.

We'd both rather stay in
on New Year's Eve.

Yes, Dan?

What is it that you're afraid of?

I'm afraid that I'm destructive.

That if I have something good,

I feel compelled to destroy it.

Look, I'm not so pure and innocent, okay?
I was awful when I was with Henry.

I was flailing.

Look how I treated you.
I used Angelica against you. I was...

- I love you.
- ...despicable.

I love you.

I have no doubt about that.

I'm just afraid that...

That everything you're feeling right now
is because we're not really together?

It's an affair.

- No.
- But it is.

For me, when I really search myself,

it doesn't feel like an affair.

For me...

It feels like I'm coming home.

Jen, we have to get out of here now.

I don't want to. I just want to
stick around for a little bit more.

It's too hot, it's way too hot.

I know, but I just want to wait.

Perfect.

- Hello?
- Hey, I'm here at the house, all by myself,

and the lights keep going on and off,
and it's really fucking scary.

Give me a fucking break.
You're not scared.

Shut up. Just come over.

- Where's Richard?
- I don't know,

probably on a plane back to Vermont.

After his lame-ass effort to get me back,
I sent him home.

Yeah? How's that?

He knows I'm a sucker
for a romantic gesture,

so he thought he'd fly
all the way across the country,

and then when he got here,
and he was as lock-jawed

and tight-assed as ever.

The lights went out!

Fucking shit! Again?

Can you please, please,
please come over? Please?

Hello?

Come in.

Oh, my God.

This is the most beautiful letter
that anyone has ever written me.

It completely reminded me of
why I wanted to be in this movie

and how I am so into you
and I just, I love you...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

I didn't... I didn't...
I don't know what happened.

- It's okay.
- You need to go to the production office.

I thought that's where
you were going to meet her.

She's going to be so fucking mad.

Look, she doesn't have to know, okay?

- What?
- Yeah, I mean,

I'm not going to tell her unless you are.

You look a lot like her in the dark,
and, it's weird,

because you kind of even
look like her right now.

She really loves you, you know?

I know. I love her too.

Okay.

I'll see you later, Adele.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Thanks for coming.
- Yeah, of course.

- I'm sorry about earlier. Thanks.
- Sure.

- I was really scared.
- No. I get it.

It was crazy driving over here.

No. Not scared of the dark.
Scared because I want to fuck you.

Wine? I got a red, French Burgundy.

- Unless you prefer white?
- No, no, I like red.

Okay, good. Good. Good.

I've never done this before.

I mean, I kissed a girl
that one time in Girl Scouts,

but it was just that one-time thing,
and it was truth or dare,

and it never happened again.

Molly, we don't have
to do anything, you know,

we can just hang out in the dark,
it's okay.

But I think you're really sexy.

Yeah.

That's good.

I think you're...

- I think you are, too.
- Richard thinks I'm oddly proportioned.

Well, Richard's a tool.

I know. We went
to Nantucket last summer,

and I caught him
jacking off to Internet porn

when he thought I wasn't looking.
How gross is that, right?

Yeah, he says he loves me,
but he's totally full of shit.

- More?
- Why are we talking about Richard still?

You're right. Fuck Richard!

Let's go upstairs.
Can you grab the candle?

Yeah.

Fuck that guy!
I'm not going to marry Richard.

I told him that today.
'Cause what's marriage anyway?

It's an ill-conceived,
antiquated institution created by people

who did not expect to live past 30.
Did you know that?

- No.
- I took a gender studies class,

and did you know that,
in medieval Europe,

the wedding ring was
a symbol of ownership?

Seriously, it was a down payment
on the "Bride Sale."

- Can you believe that shit?
- Wow. No.

I know, right? It's fucked up!
I'm sorry, I'm talking too much.

I'll stop talking.
I tend to do that when I'm nervous.

- Thanks for dinner.
- Sure.

Can I kiss you?

Yeah.

"Most improved."

Had to start somewhere.

Nice room.

Okay.

We don't have to do this, you know.

- We don't have to.
- I know we don't have to.

Weird.

- What?
- Boobs.

No. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- I'm an idiot. I'm sorry.
- Are you sure?

- Jenny?
- Hi.

- Oh, my God.
- You came.

That was the most amazing letter
that anyone has ever written to me,

and it made me realize
why I wanted to do this film...

Wait.

What? What?

- Jenny, I love you so much.
- I love you so much.

- I'm so sorry.
- And I'm so sorry.

I love you.

- What?
- You really are like a guy.

A really sexy guy.

You're so much softer.

- Guess what?
- What?

I'm not a guy. Surprised?

You're wet.

What did you expect?

I don't know. Not that.

I don't know if you're ready for this.

I'm ready for this.

Am I doing it right?

Yeah. Yeah.

You're doing it perfect.

What's that look?

- What?
- What are you doing?

What are you talking about?

- I'm not doing anything.
- Really?

It's hot in here, isn't it?

It's getting hotter.

Here's something that can cool you off.

Yeah?

Feels good.

The heat wa ve continues
to wreak ha voc in southern California,

where three major wildfires
are blazing out of control.

Firefighters predict that the flames
will soon move northward...

But weather conditions are making it
nearly impossible to battle the fires,

and hundreds of L.A. residents
ha ve been asked to evacuate their homes.

A t least one fire grew 10,000 acres
in just six hours.

Ready to become
one of California's deadliest fires...

Wow, that was amazing!

But of course it was amazing,
'cause you're a girl, and you

know how to do that.

What?

What are you doing?

I don't really think I'm ready for this yet.
I don't think I know how.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

I'm going to show you one more time.

Fuck!

God.

We'll just... We'll just take it slowly.

Well, how are you going to tell her?

Are you going to tell her
it's because of us?

No.

But if it's okay with you,
I don't want to tell her before the ride.

The Pink Ride.

I love you.

I love you, too.

- Hi, Dan.
- You poor, poor things.

There was nothing we could do.
Are you okay?

- We're fine.
- Anybody traumatized?

I think we actually clarified
some things for ourselves.

You should be ashamed of yourself!
You're not even a lesbian!

Neither were you, a year ago!

When I left you this afternoon,
you were with Richard.

This is beneath you.

What, because Shane's never read Proust,
she's beneath me?

She's never even heard of Proust.

Who cares if she's heard of Proust?

I am so sick of you judging
everybody that I know.

So Shane's not going to win
a MacArthur genius grant anytime soon.

It's really nice for once
to be with someone

who's a little bit uneducated.

She probably went to community college.

Who cares if she went
to community college?

Who cares if she even graduated
from high school?

I don't like Shane for her political views.

I like Shane
because she's easy and simple.

And maybe she's not
the smartest person in the world,

but at least she's not fucking Richard.

See how long this lasts.

Relief is in sight from the heat wa ve.
Looks like the weather will break tonight

and temperatures will be
back to normal tomorrow,

in the mid 80s. Another day in paradise.

And on the national news front,

the Bush administration
is under in vestigation...
