I've been with people,
and I don't mean 20 or 30.

So, what, like hundreds,
thousands? What?

Somewhere between 950
and 1,200 since I was 14.

Whoa.

Whatever. It doesn't
matter. I don't care.

I turned tricks on Santa
Monica with my friend Clive.

These guys thought I was some
street fag. I could have been killed.

That's so cool when you
think about it, right?

Clea, it's not cool.

Listen, I like you, but what you
want from me isn't gonna happen.

OK. It's because of my father,
right? You have this business...

Clea, I'm involved with someone.

Oh.

Are you in love with her?

Yeah.

I am.

Hey, girl.

Hey, you OK?

You hang in there. She'll
be back before you know it.

- I hope not.
- Oh.

OK. Well, you finally said it.

Can I say what it is now?

You deserve to be happy.

Your happiness is just as
important as anybody else's.

The Planet is yours.

If you and Francesca split up, she's
not gonna take it away from you.

Yes, she is.

At best she wants to be bought out.

I sat up trying to figure out how
to come up with that much money.

That's a lot of money. I work so hard.

- Where's Trish?
- I decided to cool it for a while.

Yeah?

- Why?
- I was accepted at the GSIE.

I'm finally getting my teaching degree.

Wow. That's... That's amazing.

So when I switch departments,

Trish and I can see one another
again if we still want to.

Did she cry when you broke up with her?

Yeah, she did.

Yeah.

- How's your writing?
- It's good.

I'm actually...

working on a story about a
woman that's been mute from birth

and then she discovers she's able
to speak the language of manatees.

Whoo!

I have a date on Wednesday night.

- Anyone I know?
- Um...

No. Her name is Robin,

and I met her at Palm Springs when
I went with Tina and all of them.

And you're telling me this because... ?

Because you know that I
can't afford restaurants...

Let me get this straight. You're
asking to borrow money for a date.

No, I wasn't. I was asking
you if it's OK if I...

... had her to my place.

I was gonna make a salad niçoise.

Wednesday's basketball and beer night.

So I'm not gonna be home till late.

If you want, you can use
the kitchen, make your salad.

Hey, hey.

Hello. How's everything?
I've heard about you.

Shane.

Check it out.

How about... ?

- Shit, that sucks.
- Do you think she thought when I said...

when I pointed her out that I... No.

That is so... wrong.

Yep.

Hey, Ivan. This is one of the best
nights of music I have ever had.

And thank you for organising the
Kings of the Night. It was the bomb!

Pleasure was all mine.

Why don't you make room for the lady?

- What can I get you, Kit?
- Um... Oh, nothing. I'm fine.

What's your drink? A
pink lady? Cajun martini?

Maybe a simple whisky soda?

- I'm keeping dry these days.
- That's a fine thing for a beautiful lady.

- You in the programme?
- Yeah, I am.

- 11 years next month.
- Congratulations.

I'm, uh...

37 days.

37 days is a lifetime.

Look, if you ever need anyone to
talk to, or for any other reason...

... give me a call, OK?

Thanks.

Whoa. You're not
leaving already, are you?

Oscar and I are due in court at 8.15.

Arthur Croft agreed to represent
us pro bono against Clay Patterson.

Did you land Arthur Croft?

Uh-huh. I met him when Warners got
sued over that script I developed.

Oscar must just be beside himself.

Yeah, and then I have a meeting

with these junior-high
students from South Central.

We're starting an organic
food co-op at their school.

- Isn't that cool?
- Yeah, that's... that's great.

Oh...

My Jill Sanders suit,
do you have any idea?

Um, it's at the dry-cleaners.
I dropped it off last week.

- You could pick it up today, then?
- Can James do it?

I'm having a really busy week. OK? Bye.

So he gets his prednisone
at 11 and 2 o'clock.

At five, give him his
liquid thyroid medicine.

It comes in chicken,
tuna and sardine flavours,

so just see what he's in the mood for.

- Bye, baby.
- Bye.

Bye, sweetie Piddly pie.

Ton-Ton's gonna take
extra special care of you,

my handsome
lover-boy puss-pot.

Yes, oh, yes.

Yes. OK.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Deb. It's Tonya.

You will never believe
where I am right now.

We're ready to install, but
keep the Anish Kapoor crated

until our technician arrives. Yeah.

- Bette.
- Hold on.

I think you should come
and see what's going on.

I'll call you back.

- What?
- We have protesters setting up outside.

- You don't wanna go in there.
- I do.

This so-called museum is run
by homosexual pornographers.

- Are you a homosexual pornographer?
- Get out of my face, slimeball.

The CAC should be shut down and
the people inside locked away.

- Have you seen it out there?
- They tried to block me from coming in.

- Are you OK?
- I have movers due in 40 minutes,

I have five artists
arriving to do installations

and I have a bunch of lunatics outside

who wanna see me tarred and feathered.

- But the main gallery looks great.
- We're nearly finished.

Here, let me show you some
drawings of the shoji screens.

OK.

- So...
- Fuck.

I'm sorry.

What happened the other night
cannot happen again. You understand?

This is not a bearing wall,

so I figured we just erect
the scaffolding here and...

There are almost 100 people.

They're threatening to
not let the artwork in.

- What do we do?
- Call the police?

The police are here,
but they won't help.

These protesters have a permit.

What about the alley?
Can't we load from there?

- They're blocking that too.
- I don't have time to reschedule.

And I'm not gonna back down.

Have you ever done clinic
defence? Abortion clinics?

No, I haven't. I've
just written cheques.

Well, there'd be 40, 50, 60
of them to every 20 of us.

To get a client past them,

we would link arms and
form a column to the street.

The client would get out of her
car, inside our column and inside.

- Like a human shield?
- Yeah.

- How many people does it take?
- As many as possible.

Ask everyone in the office.
We have about 25 people.

Call all the artists that are in
town, your friends. We need bodies.

OK.

- Wine?
- I have to get back to work.

I have a class of 10-year-olds
aspiring to be tightrope walkers.

Don't worry. We'll
have it tonight. Grazie.

Actually, I can't do that
either. I already have plans.

What kind of plans?

- Is that a secret?
- It's not a secret.

You should never tell secrets. Never.

Tell me, do you like to read?

I guess, when I have time.
I'm not exactly a big reader.

Have you ever read
anything by Anne Carson?

I don't think so. Does she write novels?

I'm gonna give you a book to take
when you run away with the circus.

It's called Eros the Bittersweet.

It's very romantic.

Miss Porter, is the CAC still going
ahead with the Provocations show?

- Without the slightest hesitation.
- Where's Fae Buckley?

- No idea.
- You exposed her family tragedy...

I have to go.

Link arms. Move round to the left.

You are obstructing commerce.
You are violating the law.

Let them know! Filth
as art has got to go!

Shut them down! Let them
know! Filth as art has...

- It's a full-scale war!
- Thank you so much for coming.

- Dana's coming too. Where's Tina?
- I left word for her. She was in court.

I can't get through.

Hi.

Come by after work. I'll
have the book for you.

Oh.

I'll just come by tomorrow.

I won't keep you long.
Just come by later.

OK, fine. You're very persistent.

Ah. Persistance est la
mère de tous les succès.

I'll see you later.

- Hey.
- Hey, Marina.

Marina, remember what we
talked about, kind of a plan?

Well, we are gonna find you some
partners and raise some money,

and you are gonna buy Francesca out.

What about you? You could be my partner.

I... Maybe if some of
my royalties come in.

I haven't seen one cent
from that Slim Daddy song.

What about Bette? She
could lend you the money.

- You're good for it.
- I don't know.

I'm on my way there now,
as soon as Ivan gets here.

Ivan is right over there.

Oh. Yeah.

- Right. Hey.
- Hey.

- Ivan, how you doin'?
- Always good.

OK.

- We'd better get going, I guess.
- Yeah, let's go.

- I'll catch you later, OK?
- Have a great time.

Don't forget to ask Bette.

- Where's Tina?
- Which godless piece of filth is that?

- Which affront to decency?
- Back off. You're getting too close.

You heard her. She said back off!

- Don't let him touch it!
- Get off of me!

That's the one! Get her!

She made a video of her being sodomised.

She's on her knees, naked,

with Christ committing
unspeakable acts on her.

Holy shit! I gotta help her!

Hey! You have a DUI.

If you get arrested, it'll be years
before you get a licence again.

Anyway, that's your sister
right there, isn't it?

Yeah.

Kit, come on. She needs you on the
outside. You can't do anything here.

Bette, is this your first
arrest? How will you plead?

Come on. It's OK. Let's go.

I'm gonna die if my
parents find out about this.

Now being a dyke won't be a big deal.

This is absurd. You'll
be hearing from my...

Hey, good-looking.

Remove your shoes and any hard objects,

including combs, hairpins, all watches.

And cellphones.

That's her life support.
You can't do that.

Let it go, Shane. It's OK.

Take the fucking phone. Don't lose that.

I'll also need all your jewellery.

And your eyeglasses.

The whale swam close to her,

Yolanda, it's Candace.
I'm in a bit of trouble.

Tina, I know you're busy saving
the world, but answer your phone.

Cherie, it's me. I'm
gonna be late for our date.

Is he getting his
medicine? Has he had a poo?

Can you drop my head shots by my agent?

- Why are we being held separately?
- Because you're high risk.

Dangerous ringleaders.

Aren't you gonna sit down?

I can't.

- Why?
- I can't sit near you.

You stay on one side of the
cot, I'll stay on the other.

We'll draw an imaginary
line down the middle.

I don't think that's gonna work.

I am in so much trouble.

Do you wanna play an alphabet game?

I still wanted to be a manatee.

Keela. Hey.

Have you ever met a manatee?

No.

They have the craziest mating
behaviour of any sea mammal.

- She likes you.
- Have you ever met a manatee?

A small herd were beached
off the coast of Boca Raton.

I was one of the biologists
called in to protect them.

- I'm Gene Feinberg.
- Jenny Schecter.

- Hey.
- Why were they beached?

The one female was running
away from five males.

She stays in heat for a month

and the bulls spend the entire
time smashing into each other,

trying to have sex with her,

and then they ditch
her once she's pregnant.

Gosh, that sounds like a lot of humans.

Please tell me that's not
your experience with men.

No, not exclusively.

- Well, that's good.
- Do you work here?

Mm-hm.

Assistant curator of fish and
aquarium dive co-ordinator.

And you, it appears,
work at a grocery store?

Oh, God. Can you tell
that by looking at me?

Well, I'm familiar with the
red-and-white checked blouse thing.

- Laurelwood Farms, right?
- Yes.

I didn't know that fish had curators.

I didn't know that nice
Jewish girls work in stores.

- Is that your life's calling?
- No, it's not my life's calling.

I'm... I'm a fiction writer.

- Cool.
- How do you know I'm a nice Jewish girl?

Are you implying that you're not nice?

Too many grapes, Keela.

Um...

If you wanted to have dinner with me,

I could tell you everything
I know about manatees.

- Thanks.
- OK.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Eros the Bittersweet. OK, I'll read it.

Wait. There is a passage
that is so beautiful.

You know, Marina, I really...
I gotta go. I'm sorry.

- Of course.
- Thanks.

The Greek word eros denotes want, lack.

The desire for that which is missing.

The lover wants what it does not have.

It is by definition impossible
for him to have what he wants if...

... as soon as it is had,
it is no longer wanting.

Excuse me. How much
longer is this gonna be?

This is really ridiculous.

I have been here I don't
know how long trying to...

Sit tight. OK?

I'm gonna go hustle up
a couple of bail bonds

in case nobody shows up with cash.

And I'll bring you some Reese's Cups.

How'd you know that's
what I was jonesin' for?

Officer. Franklin Phillips,

chairman of the board of
the California Arts Center.

- I'm here to post bail for Bette Porter.
- Thank God. Where you been, man?

At a cocktail party for
the governor. Who are you?

- Kit Porter, Bette's sister.
- Ah!

Well, nice to meet you. Can
we hurry this up, please?

We've got a lot of paperwork to
process. You might wanna have a seat.

Miss Porter.

Go ahead. Do the Ws.

West Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin.

Wyoming.

I think that's it.

There are no X, Ys or Zs.

Let's do math. What do you know?

Two plus two equals four.

The square of the
hypotenuse side of a triangle

equals the sum of the
squares on the other two.

Hey. Hey.

I'm talking to you.

Do you remember the first time

that you were ever really
embarrassed by your parents?

Absolutely. Before my dad
got transferred to Texas.

We were living in Fort Lauderdale. 13...

- Oh, my God.
- ... years old, junior high school. What?

When I was 13, I...

Wait. I just had a total flashback.

- I have to know more about that.
- No, I wanna hear about your story.

OK. Fine. So my mom's
dropping me off at this party.

First time I get invited
to a cool kid's party.

She insists on walking me in, which
is already totally humiliating.

And then she's kissing
me goodbye, on the lips,

and as she's walking away,
she turns back and calls out,

"Honey, remember, the more you
hang onto it, the more they want it,

so don't let any of the
boys get funny with you."

That's awful.

Turns out I wasn't
even interested in boys.

Did you know that you were gay?

No, I just knew I wasn't into boys.

I didn't realise I
was attracted to girls

until the first circus tour I did.

- I fell madly in love that year. Oh, God.
- With the bearded lady.

- No.
- Yes.

No, it wasn't.

I can't stand it.

I'm sorry it's so painful.

So painful.

What are you doing right now?

I just laid down.

I'm lying on top of you.

You know what I'm doing right now?

I think so.

This is fucking insane.
What are you doing to me?

Fucking you.

Come over here.

I am there. You know I am.

So I remember that we were all
squished into the back seat of the car.

It was me, Todd, Amy
and, of course, Andrew.

And we were all making
out, which was good.

And then I felt that
Andrew had an erection,

and I reached over and I undid his fly.

And I remember it was really small.

And I remember it was just like...

he was really terrified.

- So you did it?
- I did. With my panties on.

I just slipped them to
the side and I did it.

I don't know why. I just felt like...

"I have to do this."

You were 13?

Yeah.

Jenny, are you in there?
He said you'd be home.

- Jenny!
- I...

- What's going on?
- Shit. Tim.

Jenny, come on out.

Who the hell is that?

Who is that?

Um...

That's Tim. That's my ex.

He's renting me the place and he
said he'd be out really late tonight.

Maybe we should try this another time.

- How about Friday?
- I can't.

I'm working at Laurelwood Farms,

the late shift, because
I need the money.

I've been there.

Are you free on Saturday night?

- I have a date.
- Oh.

- I'm dating.
- Of course you are.

- This was a date, right?
- Totally.

Well, why don't I just...

I'll call you and we'll work it out.

Yes.

Bye.

OK. I'll call you tomorrow.

- I guess you weren't man enough for her.
- Would you grow up?

Come on. Yes!

Hello?

Oh.

Hello, Gene. How are you?

Yes.

Well...

I would love to spend an evening
with you and several manatee friends.

I'll see you on Saturday night. OK.

Bye.

Thanks, Judge. I owe you.

Won't be long. I put in some calls.

This sucks. Take better
care of your people.

I got the message a half-hour ago.

- I'm so sorry.
- Petty bureaucrats are pulling a power trip.

- Have they set bail?
- $2,000. We got it covered.

And for the artist, Pernao.

- What about the others?
- I'm not responsible for any others.

I'll see what I can do,
then we'll get bail bonds.

Fuck.

- Fuck.
- I need a cigarette.

- You smoke?
- Not since I was 12.

Porter, Jewell, you made bail.

You guys.

- Did they do anything stupid to you in there?
- Oh, man.

- Jail is whack.
- I'm so glad you guys are here.

- Where's Bette?
- She got thrown in a cell...

- Hey.
- Hey.

This is Candace Jewell, my cell mate.

Bette told me what an
incredible job you've been doing.

Nice to finally meet you.

- Thanks. You too.
- How'd you get tangled up in this mess?

I was doing some work at the
gallery, and the Bible thumpers...

Thank you so much.

- They treat you OK?
- Yeah.

- Hey.
- Baby sis.

Meet Ivan. He gave me a ride over here.

- He? Nice to meet you.
- Oh, gee, Ivan, I'm so sorry.

No worries. I'm happy either way.

- Can we give anyone a lift?
- West Hollywood.

- Same here.
- I'm staying in a hotel. I don't know...

It's the Sunset Marquis,
near where they live.

- Cherie's gonna get me.
- Candace, do you need a ride?

- I live in Silverlake, so I'll get a cab.
- We'll give you a ride home.

- I live in Las Feliz, so I'll give you a ride.
- That would be great.

Thanks for giving her a ride.

Cherie, it's me. Where are you?

I'm free finally,

so if you still wanna get
together, will you call me back?

I'm just gonna wait here
until I hear from you,

so please call back. Bye.

Um...

- Sorry about that.
- Yeah. It was too soon.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah.

- Was it my fault?
- Was what your fault?

You liking women.

Was it because I was
inadequate... in some way?

No.

'Cause it's been on my mind.

And I really need you
to be honest with me.

You're such a good man.
