PREVIOUSLY ON THE L WORD...
HE HAS, UH...
ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER,
AND HE'S REFUSING ANY TREATMENT.
OH, MY GOD.
I'M SO SORRY.
I WANT TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE.
YOU MEAN YOU WANT TO SEE BETTE.
[JENNY]: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT CARMEN?
NOTHING.
I THINK THE TWO OF YOU
SHOULD BE TOGETHER.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
UM, I TOLD DANA I LOVE HER, TWICE.
THAT'S GOOD.
YEAH, BUT SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BACK,
AND, UM...
THAT'S BAD, RIGHT?
YOU AND SHANE HAVE MADE ME A BETTER MAN.
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT
IF I'VE MADE YOU A BETTER MAN.
IT'S NOT A FUCKING WOMAN'S JOB TO BE CONSUMED AND INVADED
AND SPAT OUT
SO SOME FUCKING MAN CAN EVOLVE.
I DARE YOU TO STAY HERE AND DEAL WITH THIS.
WE'RE NOT FRIENDS.
[DEEP BREATHS]
[BREATHING RATE QUICKENS]
HEY, VICTOR, SHE'S HERE.
YEAH? SO?
TRUST ME, SHE'S A VERY SICK GIRL.

[JENNY SINGING SOFTLY IN HEBREW]
[MEN SHOUTING]
[JENNY SINGING]
[BETTE]: JUST RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE LIVING ROOM.
NOT A GOOD DECORATING CHOICE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SORRY.
I JUST HAD TO GET HIM OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.
IT WAS KILLING HIM.
CANCER'S KILLING HIM.
GREAT. RIGHT THERE.
CAN YOU GUYS HOOK THAT UP FOR ME, PLEASE?
REALLY NOT OUR JOB, MA'AM.
HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TAKING ON?
ARE YOU PREPARED
TO WATCH OUR FATHER DIE RIGHT HERE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM?
HE COULD GO INTO REMISSION, KIT.
DON'T PUT HIM IN THE GROUND QUITE YET.
HE'S REFUSING TREATMENT.
HIS DOCTORS GIVE HIM FOUR TO SIX WEEKS.
I GIVE HIM AS LONG AS HE WANTS TO STAY ALIVE.
AND WHAT ABOUT WORK?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WORK, KIT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT DADDY'S SET UP.
I'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE IN FOR.
THIS IS GOING TO EAT YOU ALIVE.
I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT I WOULD BE TAKING IT ON ALL BY MYSELF.
THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE TALKED TO ME.
YOU SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED ME IN THIS HUGE DECISION YOU MADE
ABOUT HOW OUR FATHER'S
GOING TO LEAVE THIS EARTH.
[SINGING SOFTLY IN HEBREW]
THANK YOU.
THAT'S NICE.
THEY'RE FROM MARK.
NO, THANK YOU.
LOOK, HE ASKED ME TO BRING IT.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET THE BASTARD
REDEEM HIMSELF.
LOOK, I DOUBT HE THINKS
THAT COFFEE AND A MUFFIN'S GOING TO REDEEM HIM.
LOOK, I HATE TO BRING THIS UP, BUT...
WE HAVE RENT--
NO, NO, NO. I KNOW.
YOU KNOW, JEN, I'D...
I'D COVER YOU IF I COULD--
NO.
YOU KNOW, MARK OFFERED--
NO.
I'LL PAY MY OWN RENT.
OKAY.
[KNOCKING]
COME IN.
HI.
OH, THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE.
CAN YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOOK THAT THING UP?
OH, YEAH, SURE.
IS THERE ANYWHERE THAT I CAN...
OH, THERE'S A SPARE BEDROOM
AROUND THE CORNER, AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY.
OKAY.
I SEE YOU HAVE A BABY.
NO, NOT YET.
MAYBE.
I MEAN, YES,
IN 10 DAYS.
MY EX.
MY EX, SHE'S DUE IN 10 DAYS.
YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATE.
THAT'S NOTHING NEW TO ME.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT
ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
IF YOUR FATHER'S STILL ALIVE
WHEN THE BABY'S BORN?
HE WILL BE.
HI, JAMES. IT'S ME.
CAN YOU CALL MY FATHER'S HOUSEKEEPER
AND HAVE HER SEND OUT
MY FATHER'S FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS?
JUST HAVE HER OVERNIGHT THEM TO ME.
OKAY.
OKAY, GREAT.
THANKS.
I WAS LOOKING AT MY FATHER'S MEDICATION CHART.
WHY IS HE TAKING PREDNISONE?
ISN'T THAT SOME KIND OF STEROID?
YEAH, IT CAN HELP WITH MENTAL CLARITY
WHEN THERE'S INFLAMMATION OR SWELLING
AROUND THE BRAIN.
TOWARDS THE END, IT'LL GET VERY...
CONFUSING AND FRIGHTENING,
AND NOT JUST FOR THE PATIENT.
TINA.
DANA. ALICE.
DO YOU KNOW LEIGH OSTIN?
NO. HI.
OH, MY GOD. YOU'RE SO CLOSE.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
OH, HUNGRY.
HEY, IS THIS BETTE PORTER'S BABY?
WELL, OUR BABY.
I JUST MET HER RECENTLY.
SHE IS GREAT.
DIDN'T SHE ASK YOU OUT?
YEAH.
UH, WE'RE GOING TO GO SIT DOWN.
YEAH. SEE YOU.
OH, BUT I'LL SEE YOU HERE
LATER TONIGHT, YEAH?
OH, UM, MAYBE.
I JUST FEEL LIKE A HOT BATH
AND MY OWN BED TONIGHT.
WELL, WE'LL MAKE IT AN EARLY ONE.
WE'LL SEE.
IT WAS NICE SEEING YOU AGAIN.
YOU TOO.
BYE.
OKAY...
SO...
SO YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT, HUH?
WHAT?
WITH THAT.
OH.
YEAH, I'M OKAY WITH IT.
I WOULDN'T BE OKAY WITH IT.
I WAS WONDERING
WHEN I WOULD SEE YOU IN HERE.
YOU HAVEN'T COME IN FOR DINNER.
OH, MY GOD.
CAN I HAVE A HUG?
YEAH.
HI. WOW.
LOOK AT YOU.
HI.
WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN?
YEAH, OKAY, JUST UNTIL KIT GETS HERE.
WE'RE PLANNING A NEW LUNCH MENU.
YOU WORK HERE?
LUNCH. WOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE HERE SO MUCH,
AND GABBY'LL PROBABLY BE HERE--
WE'RE NOT TOGETHER.
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
YOU CAME OUT, BIG TIME.
YEAH.
WELL, SORRY I DIDN'T DO IT ANY SOONER.
OH, YOU KNOW WHAT? KIT'S HERE.
I SHOULD PROBABLY GO,
BUT CAN WE HAVE DINNER?
I'D LOVE TO.
WOULD THAT BE OKAY WITH YOU, BABE?
OH. OH, YOU GUYS ARE...
OH, MY GOD.
I'M SORRY.
UM...
DANA, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET PERMISSION FROM ME
TO GO OUT TO DINNER WITH YOUR EX.
YOU GUYS SHOULD BE FRIENDS.
BEST, BEST FRIENDS.
OKAY, WELL, I'LL, UM...
I'LL TALK TO YOU AFTER.
OKAY. OKAY.
IT WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS.
YOU TOO.
OKAY.
BYE.
WOW.
OKAY...
SO, I'VE ORGANIZED HIS MEDS
INTO TIMES AND DOSAGES
SO YOU CAN KEEP TO THE SCHEDULE
WHEN I'M NOT HERE,
AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO CLEAN AND INSERT
THE I.V. CATHETER.
[STEPS CREAK]
SPEAK OF THE DEVIL. HERE HE IS.
WELCOME HOME, MR. PORTER.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING, DADDY?
WHO IS THIS WOMAN?
UH, THAT'S SHELLY.
SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH YOU YESTERDAY.
YOU REMEMBER?
SHE'S YOUR NURSE.
AM I ON DISPLAY?
CAN'T A MAN HAVE A BIT OF PRIVACY?
I SUGGEST HOSPITAL CURTAINS.
I CAN ORDER THEM.
CURTAINS ARE SO UGLY AND DEPRESSING.
GET SOME OF THOSE JAPANESE SCREENS
AND MAKE A ROOM WITHIN A ROOM.
HEY, WHY DON'T YOU PICK SOME OF THOSE UP AT IKEA?
UM, MAYBE YOU CAN GET YOUR ASSISTANT
TO DO THAT.
SERIOUSLY, JENNY,
IF YOU'RE SHORT ON RENT THIS MONTH,
IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
FUCK YOU.
I DON'T EXPECT
THAT IT WOULD FIX EVERYTHING.
LIKE YOU CAN BUY ME OFF WITH MONEY AND GOOD DEEDS,
LIKE I'M SOME KIND OF A WHORE.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT.
[BETTE]: I WAS PLANNING
ON COMING IN THIS AFTERNOON,
BUT HE JUST SEEMED A LITTLE DISORIENTED,
SO I JUST DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE.
YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING, BETTE.
AFTER THIS WEEK,
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET BACK
TO SOME SEMBLANCE OF A NORMAL SCHEDULE.
LISTEN, WE DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL PRESSURED.
YOU TAKE HOWEVER MUCH TIME YOU NEED.
THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
WE JUST NEED TO PUT SOME STRUCTURE IN PLACE.
I'M SURE THE BOARD WOULD SUPPORT A TEMPORARY LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
A LEAVE OF ABSENCE?
WHAT ABOUT THE ALAN BARNES RETROSPECTIVE?
WELL, WE HAVE LEO.
THINGS WON'T TOTALLY FALL APART WHILE YOU'RE GONE.
I HIRED A NURSE.
I WASN'T PLANNING ON TAKING A LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
I'M SURE THAT AS SOON AS HE TRUSTS HER--
I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT,
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP.
I'M SORRY.
EXCUSE ME, JUST...
SURE.
SO WE HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY FEW HOURS.
JUST TAKE HIS SHOULDER GENTLY, UNDER HERE, LIKE THAT.
IS THAT OKAY?
[GROANS]
I'M SORRY.
I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE OFFICE.
JUST ONE SECOND.
YOUR FATHER'S LUCKY TO HAVE YOU, BETTE.
THANKS.
JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT THE LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
CAN I HAVE UNTIL MONDAY TO DECIDE?
OF COURSE.
TAKE THE WEEKEND.
[***]
ASK LARA TO--
IT IS LARA, ISN'T IT? YOUR CHEF?
YEAH.
ASK LARA TO BRING US
A SELECTION OF SMALL TASTES,
WHATEVER SHE THINKS IS MOST DELICIOUS.
YOUR CHEF. THAT'S NICE.
WOW.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE WAY TO EAT.
YOU SHOULD STICK WITH ME, THEN.
ALICE, IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO GO OUT WITH HER, JUST--
I SAID IT WAS OKAY.
I'M A SURVEILLANCE PHOTOGRAPHER.
I WORK FOR DIVORCE LAWYERS,
WIVES TRYING TO FIND THEIR HUSBANDS
CHEATING ON THEM,
THAT KIND OF THING.
THAT'S BRILLIANT.
I SHOULD BRING YOU WITH ME TO NEW YORK.
YOU CAN SPY ON MY EX.
[BOTH LAUGH]
I'M GOING TO GO.
WHY?
WE HAVEN'T EVEN EATEN.
I CAN'T KEEP MY EYES OPEN, BUT PLEASE STAY.
I'LL TAKE A CAB.
YOU OKAY?
BESIDES HAVING TO PEE LIKE A HORSE?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
HELENA, I'M TIRED.
I JUST WANT TO GO HOME AND BE ALONE.
FINE.
ENJOY BEING ALONE.
I WILL.
I WANT TO ENJOY IT WHILE I CAN.
BYE, GUYS.
OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
BYE.
DANA...
[WHISPERING]: YOU WON'T BE ALONE,
BUT YOU'LL STILL GET LONELY.
[BETTE]: "I LOOKED UPON THE NILE
"AND RAISED THE PYRAMIDS ABOVE IT.
"I HEARD THE SINGING OF THE MISSISSIPPI
"WHEN ABE LINCOLN WENT DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS,
AND I'VE SEEN ITS MUDDY BOSOM TURN ALL GOLDEN IN THE SUNSET."
"I'VE KNOWN RIVERS, ANCIENT, DUSKY RIVERS.
MY SOUL HAS GROWN DEEP, LIKE THE RIVERS."
DADDY, IT'S TIME TO TURN YOU OVER.
I'M JUST GOING TO TRY TO DO THIS BY MYSELF, OKAY?
I'M JUST GOING TO LIFT UP...
LET ME HELP YOU.
IF YOU COULD JUST...
TAKE THE PILLOW...
AND I'LL HOLD HIS SHOULDER HERE.
KIT MADE YOU DINNER.
I PROMISED HER
I'D MAKE YOU SIT DOWN AND EAT IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
HELLO, MELVIN.
IT'S TINA.
"MS. KENNARD."
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
KIT'S AT WORK.
SHE'LL BE HERE AS SOON AS SHE CAN.
WHO?
KATIE, DADDY.
SHE SAID SHE'S GOING TO BE HERE SOON.
HOW DOES SHE KNOW KATIE?
I'M GOING TO GO GET YOU A GLASS OF WATER.
OKAY?
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
I'LL FIX YOU DINNER.
I'M SORRY...
IF I WAS SELFISH THE OTHER NIGHT.
IT'S OKAY.
I PUT HIM IN THE LIVING ROOM.
I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT HIM
IN THE BABY'S ROOM,
IN CASE...
WE'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.
I'VE NEVER HELD YOU...
IN FRONT OF MY FATHER.
HE'S ASLEEP.
NOW, THAT'S
WHAT I LIKE TO SEE.
NOW, PROMISE...
YOU'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY GIRL.
I PROMISE.
AND YOU...
YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR MOTHER TOO.
YOU HEAR ME?
MAXINE...
DON'T RUN AWAY AGAIN.
STAY WITH OUR LITTLE GIRL.
I KNOW I LET YOU DOWN, MAXINE.
I WAS WEAK.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
OH, DADDY.
BUT I NEED YOU...
DADDY...
TO STAY...
AND LOOK AFTER MY GIRL.
DADDY...
[***]
HEY, CARMEN CALLED ME. IS SHE REALLY HERE?
WHO?

IT'S PEACHES. COME ON, LET'S GO.

[SOBS SOFTLY]
CAN WE JUST SLEEP?
YES, PLEASE.
WANT SOME COFFEE?
HEY.
WHAT TIME DID YOU GET HERE?
A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
HE HAD A ROUGH NIGHT.
HE WAS AWAKE,
BUT HE DIDN'T TALK.
HE WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN.
I FEEL LIKE HE'S GIVING UP.
SHELLY'S GOING TO BE HERE IN AN HOUR.
SHE SAID SHE WANTS TO GIVE HIM
A SPONGE BATH THIS MORNING.
NO, SHE WILL NOT.
THAT'S AN INDIGNITY
I AM NOT PREPARED TO ENDURE.
DADDY...
YOU CAN HELP ME TO THE BATHROOM.
I'M PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF BATHING MYSELF...
WHICH YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DO
THESE DAYS.
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU OUT OF THOSE CLOTHES
SINCE I FIRST ARRIVED.
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF YOU, DADDY.
TO THE DETRIMENT OF YOUR WORK,
AND WHAT'S ALL THIS
ABOUT TAKING A LEAVE OF ABSENCE?
I'M CONSIDERING IT.
SO YOU CAN MOPE AROUND HERE AND WATCH AN OLD MAN DIE?
I WILL NOT HAVE IT.
YOUR WORK IS TOO IMPORTANT FOR THAT.
IT'S NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU.
I DON'T WANT EITHER OF YOU
TO COMPROMISE YOUR CAREERS
ON MY BEHALF.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YEAH.
AND YOU.
IF YOU THINK BENJAMIN
IS GOING TO LEAVE HIS FAMILY FOR YOU--
I DON'T, DADDY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T?
I WOULDN'T DO THAT TO ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE.
IT'S HUMAN NATURE TO PURSUE ONE'S HAPPINESS
OVER SOMEONE ELSE'S MISERY.
NOT ALWAYS, DADDY.
AFTER HER MOTHER STOLE YOU FROM MY MOTHER,
YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE, DIDN'T YOU?
THAT DOESN'T MATTER.
OH, UM...
I'M SORRY.
HELLO, TINA.
HELLO, MELVIN.
WHERE'S MY NURSE?
I'M READY TO GET OUT OF THIS DAMN BED.
NO, DADDY, JUST RELAX.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT YOU'RE FEELING BETTER.
I HAVE TO GO TO WORK.
JUST BE CAREFUL.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, NOT TOO FAST. OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
CAN A MAN HAVE SOME PRIVACY?
HUH?
YEAH, DADDY.
JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE. I THINK HE'LL BE FINE.
[DOORBELL CHIMES]
SORRY I'M LATE.
TRAFFIC ON THE 405--
WHERE'S YOUR FATHER?
HE'S DOING WELL. HE'S IN THE BATHROOM.
[THUD]
OH, DADDY, ARE YOU OKAY?
DON'T MOVE.
MR. PORTER, DON'T MOVE.
JUST TRY AND STAY AS STILL AS POSSIBLE.
NO, NO HOSPITAL.
NO MORE HOSPITALS. NO.
OKAY, JUST TRY AND RELAX.
WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?
YOU MISSED PEACHES.
[DOOR OPENS]
I NEED YOUR HELP.
GOING AROUND THE CORNER, GUYS.
DADDY, ARE YOU OKAY?
JUST GET HIS HEAD. DO WE HAVE HIS HEAD?
YEAH, WE'VE GOT HIS HEAD,
AND WATCH THE IVY THERE.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
[SHELLY]: YOU'RE DOING REAL GOOD.
WHY ARE YOU SHAVING YOUR LEGS?
BECAUSE THERE'S HAIR ON THEM.
SO?
IS LARA GOING TO FEEL THEM OR SOMETHING?
WHAT?
IT'S A LEGITIMATE QUESTION.
HEY.
YEAH, WE'RE JUST PICKING A FEW THINGS UP
FOR MELVIN.
YEAH, WELL, LISTEN, WHY DON'T YOU AND DANA
GRAB A BOTTLE OF WINE AND SOME FLOWERS
WHEN WE HIT BETTE'S?
ALL RIGHT.
YEAH, SOUNDS GOOD.
ALL RIGHT, SEE YOU THEN.
BYE.
OH, POOR BETTE.
"POOR BETTE," MAN? POOR MELVIN.
LOOK AT THIS SHIT.
IT'S LIQUID FOOD.
CYCLE OF LIFE.
YOU WIND UP EATING BABY FOOD,
AND YOU'RE BACK IN DIAPERS.
MM.
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
WHO'S THAT?
NO ONE.
WHO'S THAT?
NO ONE.
IT'S LOLA.
LOLA?
WHO'S LOLA?
UH, SHE'S THAT GIRL FROM LAST NIGHT.
WAIT, THE ONE WHO WAS UP ON STAGE WITH PEACHES?
YES.
STIFFING HER ON STAGE?
SHUT UP.
SHE WAS DRUNK.
SHIT, IF SHE'S DRUNK,
DO YOU THINK SHE'D TEXT MESSAGE ME?
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I'LL TEXT MESSAGE HER.
I'VE ALREADY BEEN TRANSFERRED.
ONE SECOND.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
HELLO?
YEAH, THIS IS BETTE PORTER.
I'M TRYING TO HIRE
AN ADDITIONAL RESPITE WORKER.
[SHANE]: MY DAD?
INVISIBLE.
BITTER.
[CLEARS THROAT]
DEPENDABLY SUPPORTIVE.
ONE WORD.
DEPENDABLE.
DISTANT.
[MARK]: BETTE? WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHAT ABOUT ME? WHAT?
DESCRIBE YOUR DAD. ONE WORD.
DYING.
THERE YOU GO.
SWALLOW.
HEY.
I'M SORRY.
MY FATHER WAS THIRSTY.
MAYBE WE SHOULD LET YOU BE.
YEAH.
THANKS, YOU GUYS.
BYE.
CALL IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.
OPEN.
THERE YOU GO. SWALLOW.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL SEE YOU AT 10:00.
YEP. 10:00.
NOW, WHAT IS IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
A NIGHTCLUB THING WITH JENNY.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT SHE SAID BE THERE AT 10:00,
SO DON'T BE LATE.
OKAY, I'LL BE THERE.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YES.
OKAY. OKAY.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
ALRIGHTY.
[QUIETLY]: GODDAMMIT.
HERE ARE SOME OF YOUR THINGS, DADDY.
THERE'S ME AND MOM.
I REMEMBER THAT LITTLE BALL.
I DON'T REMEMBER THIS ONE.
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?
YOU AND MOM?
HERE'S ME AND MOM.
I HAD A LOT OF HAIR AS A KID.
[LAUGHS]
THERE'S SOME OF HER WATERCOLORS IN HERE.
OH, LOOK.
WHERE'S THAT FROM?
I...
ACAPULCO, RIGHT?
LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE WE HAVE IN HERE.
I THINK THIS ONE WAS YOUR FAVORITE.
WASN'T IT?
SHE KNEW HER STUFF, MOM, DIDN'T SHE?
I'M GOING TO PUT THIS RIGHT OVER HERE.
I SHOULD'VE WORN MY LATEX JUMPSUIT.
I REALLY MISS OUR FOOD ADVENTURES.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S THIS PERUVIAN RESTAURANT
IN VAN NUYS
I'VE BEEN WANTING TO GO TO.
I SHOULDN'T.
TRAINING.
NO.
WELL, YEAH, SORT OF.
ALICE.
LARA...
DANA, I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT A DINNER.
NO, THIS IS A DINNER.
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A SECOND DINNER.
[CELLPHONE BUZZING]
HEY. HEY, IT'S ME.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO CALL AND TELL YOU
TO MAYBE GET HERE AT, LIKE, A QUARTER TO 10:00.
UM...
AL, HEY!
BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BUSY...
CROWDED.
SO, OKAY, YEAH, CALL ME WHEN YOU GET THIS.
OKAY?
BYE.
GODDAMMIT.
[CARMEN]: JESUS CHRIST.
[HOOTING AND CHEERING]
HEY!
NICE PLACE!
OH, YEAH.
DID JENNY INVITE YOU?
YEAH, SHE DID.
HAVE YOU SEEN HER?
NO.
THIS JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO GO LOOK FOR HER.
GOD, WHY WOULD SHE WANT TO COME TO THIS PLACE?
[CARMEN]: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "COOL YOUR JETS, HONEY"?
DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME.
GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OF ME.
[MAN]: HONEY, HONEY, COOL YOUR JETS.
WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM, MAN?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FUCKING TOUCH ME, HUH?
HEY, HEY, WHOA, BABY, WHOA.
WHAT?
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FUCKING PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME?
ASSHOLE.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YES.
GODDAMMIT.
DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT SOMETIME?
WHAT?
DO YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME SOMETIME?
