The L Word - x - Legend In The Making


Oh my godness!

You wanna come to L.A. with me?

Nobody makes me wet like that.

We wanna publish your book.

I cheated on you.

- When?
- After you f*cked Cherie Jaffe.

Would you marry me?

And I am Alice Pieszecki on KCRW.
Welcome back.

We are talking about the connection between love and the senses.

We are trying to rekindle the sexual spark in this long-term relationship.

All these days I have these

- feelings!
- Feelings about what?

Feelings about men.

I want you to move out.

What are you doing with that child?

- Who are you?
- Her aunt, Kit Porter.

I've never felt this hard for a woman in my entire life.

I'm pregnant.

I don't know who I am anymore.

I've always felt really uncomfortable with this body.

So I've decided a transition from female to male.

When you get the body you need, who's gonna live inside of it?

If you think men are the ennemy, then you and I have a problem.

I wanna believe that real, true connection among human beings is actually possible.

Shane is going to Oregon city to visit Gabriel McCutcheon.

Why don't you come home with me for dinner?

It'd be a good time to meet Carla and Shay.

I knew you were his daughter.
You have his genes.

I mean, look at all three of you.

I'm getting married next week.

I'd like for you guys to be there.

This is Carmen's friend, Helena.

She's the one that invited us all and paid for our plane tickets and our hotel rooms.

I'm cutting you off financially.

- You're not serious...
- You need to know that people love you even if you're pennyless.

Today on the Chart we're looking at

how do you end a vicious cycle.

It's just who I am.

I know you know what I'm talking about.

She said that she doesn't expect you to forgive her.

She's not proud of this.

She is who she is.

I've changed my mind.

I don't want you to adopt my daughter.

Henry and I are thinking of starting a family and we want Angelica to be a full part of that.

Don't do this.

I'm warning you.

Where are they?

f*ck you Bette!

Bette, it's Tina. This is not okay.

Where the hell are you?!

Angelica and mama B are just gonna go for a little adventure until we figure out what to do next.

It's gonna be fine.

Yeah, it's open. Come in!

Still nothing...

Alright, you know what?

It's worth the try. She can't be far and it hasn't been hours.
So I think we should just do it.

Where is Lara?

She left this morning.

Does she take that job in San Fransisco?

You knew about that?

It's a great gig.

It's a star hotel.
She'll have her own kitchen...

She was so afraid that you would take this really hard.

No, I mean...

It's... it's weird 'cause Dana said one day at the hospital she was like...

She really wanted me to go out and make me friends, you know. She said

"your whole world revolves on this tiny little orbit". That was...before the Lara thing.
That's kinda weird.

Oh yeah, well... "the Lara thing".

Yeah, it was...incestuous?

Yeah, if that's what you wanna call it.

Something happened to me up here and I'm really ready to just

- sort of go home and...
- Hello!

Hi!

- Thank you.
- Hey! You're welcome.

Do you guys mind if we start this very serious?

It's just Clause is leaving for Montreal in about minutes.

- And I wanna be able to say goodbye.
- Yeah I know. I just...

I was waiting for Helena 'til she gets here.

Sorry, I was just setting up the bill.

- It's ironic.
- Hey, should we all pay chambers?

No. I mean, don't be silly, Max.
Thanks, but...

Helena, maybe...

Look, it was all taken care of in advance, alright?

- Stop fussing.
- Okay, can we start?

- Yeah.
- Maybe I should take off for this, guys.

No. Max, this is an intervention and in an intervention we need everybody, the whole extended family.
Now, get over here.

This is Bette Porter. You reach her cellphone.

- Okay, you're ready?
- Leave a message.

- Hey Bette, it's Alice.
- And Jenny.

- And Helena.
- And Max.

And Kit.

We just wanted to tell you how much we love you.

Yeah, we love you and we want you to know that we stand by you.

So... no matter what.

And we totally understand what you did because if we had been in your position, Bette, we would have done exactly the same thing.

Well, maybe not the same thing, maybe, you know...

- Uh something...
- But you've gotta do the right thing.

- Yeah...
- Bette, you've got to bring Angelica home.

- We can help you.
- You need to bring the baby home.

And Bette, there is no question about the fact that she is your baby.

Oh yeah, we're not gonna let anybody take the baby away from you. So don't...

Not even a motherfucknig court of law...

Well if it does come to the Court of law, Bette, we're all gonna testify on your behalf 'cause you have a really strong case.

And we'll talk to Tina.

And we'll tell her to, you know, calm down and...

Tina's just... I mean, who knows? Tina might...

..call the police and have your ass thrown in jail and ruin your brand new godanm career... not to mention the rest of your f*cking life!

Tina, that was kinda stupid.
She's not gonna come home.

Where the f*ck is she?!

Is she still in Canada?
Is she back in the States?

What? Is she taking Angelica to f*cking Tombouctou?!

Kit!

I have no idea where she is.

Well you can tell her, for me, that if she's not in L.A. by the time I get back, I will call the police.

And when they find her, I will take my daughter away from her.

And she will never see Angelica again!
Okay? You got that?!

You tell her that!

Well, how serious?

No, no, no, Joyce, Joyce...
Just tell me what can she do?

What can she do?

Worst case scenario if she decides to be the hypocrital monster we already know she is.

Well f*ck her then, just f*ck her.

No, nobody's taking my family away.

Yeah, I don't know, I don't know!

Well, we're just not coming back.

Mexico.

I don't know.

Yeah, well, I had an artist friend of mine who moved in entire family to Oaxaca.

Well, I didn't have any trouble crossing the american border.

Wait, Joyce, can you hold on? I'm just, I'm getting another call. Hold on.

Phyllis...

Yeah, hi!

No, no, no, I'm happy to hear from you.

Yeah.

Uh... where am I?

I'm in Northern California.
I'm just... taking a last minute road trip with my daughter.

Yeah, just trying to get in these last precious moments before work.

Yeah, I know, I know, I know...
It goes by so fast.

But I'm excited.

Yeah, I am. I'm ready.

Yeah, I can't wait to get started.

So I will see you on campus, monday morning.

Okay, great. Thanks.

Can I get a sippy cup?

Does anybody have a sippy cup!?

Jesus!

Shane, come on!

I want you!

Jesus!

Where have you been?

Now, you're gonna f*ck me.
I've been waiting all day.

Just f*cking relax for a second.

You crazy little freak.

Freak!

What were you thinking thinking you were gonna marry that ridiculous girl?

That ridiculous little... bouncy, chacha... tiwnkle...

You don't know her.

You have no right to say that about her.

Oh sh**t!
Where's my driver?

Oh right! I cancelled your driver.

You did what?

Helena, you need to try...

You need to start thinking differently.

You know? You can't just take a limousine home from the airport anymore.

Alice, I'm actually quite a practical person.

- I'll take a taxi.
- A taxi?

To Broad Beach to Malibu?
It's as much as a limousine.

- Then I'll take the bus.
- A bus is not gonna go there!

We need to take an airport chattle.

Fine. Just show me where I have to go, alright?

Your luggage?

- Porter...
- No, no, no.

Come here.

There is this thing and it's called a luggage cart.

I don't know about moving in yet.

It feels kinda creepy.

She's not dead.

I'm just assuming that Carmen will not be living with us anymore.

I can totally pick up her share of the rent.

You know,

I'm just gonna clean up her stuff for safe keeping.

And Shane can deal with all of Carmen's stuff when she gets back.

Kinda wanna make sure it's ok with Shane first.

I don't care if it's ok with Shane right now.

What Shane did is terrible.

And completely unforgivable.

Jenny...

You know what? She should have called us.

She should have told us what's going on.
It's terrible.

Some compassion, Jenny.

Alice worked for weeks setting this wedding up.

Helena spent a small fortune.

I don't expect Carmen to forgive Shane anytime soon.

But, I do.

And so should you. I mean, I forgive you.

What?

What the f*ck do you forgive me for?

- Come on...
- I haven't changed who I am.

Max... I know I've been kind of a jerk, since I've been on the testosterone, but,

I thought you totally supported my transition.

I do support your transition.

We just don't go together anymore.

That's why I didn't freak out when you got together with Claude.

But I just...

I just don't know why we can't work it out.

Because you identify as a straight man.

So there is the mismatch, because you want me to be your straight girlfriend to your straight guy.

And I identify as a lesbian who likes to f*ck girls.

And you're not a girl.

Yeah...

- You don't have a key anymore?
- No.

She changed the f*cking locks the day I moved out.

f*ck!

I want my baby...

I just wanna see her.

Where the hell is she, huh?

Where is she?

I just... want her back.
I want her back.

Maybe it's time to call the police.

Mummy doesn't have any milk but we could put some...

We could put some water in here if you want me to...

Bette, you're in there? It's me, Kit.

How's that? Better?

It's better than a poke in the eye with the sharp stick.

If that's what you mean, Whit.

There is good news.

Oh!

There is good news!

The good news is that I found the qualified tenant and your landlord is willing to let you out of the lease.

But the bad news is the tenant wants to take over pretty much straighter way.

Where am I supposed to go?

Well, I suggest...

You need to work out what your income is going to be and what you can afford to pay you a rent.

I wasn't exactly on a salary, Whit.

Then, if I'm gonna be running a movie studio, then...

Oh yes, the movie studio...

What? I know we're still operating in the red way.

I wasn't gonna be piggish.

But I should be making at least what Tina's making.

It seems... the library loan was worth the asking price and Paramount was looking to acquire...

Your mother wanted to unload it before she left for Antigo.

Mother's in Antigo?

Well, a private island, actually.

No phones. Very romantic.

She seems to be head over heels.

How lovely for her...

- Please, Whit, just...
- I'll get the bottle.

So, do you want me to leave?
Just like

- drive away right now?
- Yeah, she's freaked.

She doesn't wanna see anybody, not even you.

I have to take her to her lawyer office as soon as we land.

I'm sorry.

Listen, I made that appointment tomorrow at noon.

You're still okay with that?

Look, we've got over this
ways to... it.

I know. I know it's the right decision.
I just...

I just wanna make sure you're not having a tough time with that.

I am having a tough time with that.

I know it's the right decision.

Hey,

I love you.

Oh no, baby, you don't wanna kiss me right now.

Yeah, yeah, that would be disgusting.

I love you.

I love you...

One credit card, with a . $ limit.

I can't even buy a pair of shoes with . $!

Well, no.
Not if you're talking about

. $ handmade in Barcelona laceups, no.

Yeah! But I had to. I mean, they were perfect with that Empire ways vintage printshift.

Refill?

No, I don't think I can afford it.

Helena, it's free.

What about your car?
Isn't your car like . $?

I mean, you could live on that for like years.

Maybe you could.

Alright. Maybe I could.

If my mother had not let Whit repossess it.

Whit suggested I look into something called hie-yun-day? dey?

Hyundai? Hyundai?

Wow! Well, she really does wanna bring you down, huh?

Yeah...

Out of love.

You know what I think?

I think you should move in with me.

I mean just, you know, until we get you on your feet.

- Alice, I couldn't!
- Helena, you have been like the most generous friend to me and I feel like this is the first time I have something to offer you in return.

It's gonna be okay.
We're gonna help you through this.

I just...

I had no idea it could feel this warm and fuzzy being poor.

Yeah...

- "Any Way You Look At It" - by The Emotions

If it isn't Jennifer Schecter, author of "Some of Her Parts"...

- Please sign my book.
- You have a book?

How did you get a book? It doesn't come out 'til thursday.

I was kidding.

- Congratulations, it's fantastic.
- Thank you.

And guess what?
My publisher's weely review apparently has just come out.

You're not gonna read your own reviews, are you?

Of course I'm gonna read my own reviews. Why shouldn't I?

Well, in case somebody doesn't say something quite too positive.

This is purely for informational purposes.
Oh, guess what.

We got a mention on myspace and we took an add on on OurChart.

- Well thank you!
- Alice, how does it work, this chart of yours? I mean,

I've never actually been on it.

- You've never been on her Chart?
- What?!

Oh my god! It's so much fun. You don't know what you're missing.

Yeah, I know it's like a social networking site.

- For lesbians.
- Yeah!

Do you have to sleep with some first?

Well, I mean, when I first put it out, that was the core concept, like, you know, Jenny slept with Tina, who slept with Annie...

- You slept with Tina?!
- No!

- I would never sleep with Tina.
- No! Hypothetical.

But like you know lesbians being lesbians they start logging on and talking about themselves and...

- Can I show her?
- Yeah.

But for me it's always about the hook up page.

See, like... Okay, so, here's me and then that's my whole constellation.

And I slept with Gabby Deveaux, so I want to add her on my constellation, so I submit her name and the webmaster will email her saying, you know, "Alice Pieszecki has added your name to her chart, would like to put her on her hookups page" and then if she gives permission, then she has the choice of starting her own constellation.

- Here is Gabby Deveaux.
- Right.

- Wow, that's a lot of hookups.
- Yeah, she's a whore.

But... Let's see...
Oh, have you seen Shane? It's here.

- Yeah, can I show you?
- Yeah.

'Cause if you were... click on Shane's name.

You can then see how many people Shane hooked up with.

She's what we call a hub. Which is anyone who slept with over people.

- She's considered the hub of hubs.
- Right, and when you become a hub then you sort of become a portal because inevitably you're gonna like bring us a new whole solar system.

Look, do you remember the japanese girl that Shane slept with?

Well now, the japanese girl, Ankiodo, has her whole new solar system out there.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Should we look at Carmen?

- Well...
- Yeah.

I think we should leave Carmen out of it.

Ok, so look, Carmen has her whole solar system in east L.A.

Wow! I can see that! Look at that.
There's like Rosa, Marylène...

I had no idea it was such a big deal!

Oh yeah, I know, we're gonna have to upgrade the server 'cause we're getting so much traffic.

What's the term you say you us for this group of...

Solar system. Can I have it?

There's a girl in Carmen's solar system, she's got more hits

- than Shane.
- Oh, that's not possible.

- No way.
- Look, here.

Can I have my computer? Thank you.

Oh my god!

You're right!

Look at this.

This girl

has slept with ...

She just added a name.
Now it's !

Let me go in, relax.
I've got to see who this is.

Who the hell is Papi?

I think Warren has too much on his plate.

I want you have run point on the Pyrotech project.

Thanks.

Thanks, boss.

How's everything else going on for you, Max?

It's great.

We should have these updates nailed by the end of the week.

How's Jenny?

She's fine.

- No, actually, we broke up.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, I'm fine with it.

Well, I hope you don't think I'm outta line, Max, but I'm not all that surprised.

Yeah, I mean, we definivelty had our problems.

I mean you are very straight and at first you don't really seem to have any hidden agenda's and

Jenny seemed a little... complicated.

She sure is complicated.

Look, I know this might seem a little outta field but my daughter Brooke's coming home from Ohio this weekend and

I always set the two of you would hit it off.

Your daughter?

I'll email you her your phone number.

You can call her if you're up for it.

No obligation.

Honestly.

Oh f*ck...

I'm glad you decided to come.

Come to mummy, sweetie. Mama is never gonna leave you again.

Come here, sweetie.

Yeah.

Come here my baby.

I missed you.

I look like a guy, but I didn't fit in the straight world.

And all of a sudden, I didn't fit in the d*ke community either.

I had no idea I would be so damn lonely.

And the worse thing was I could cry.

That was the harshest thing for me.

When the testosterone kicked in, my emotions totally changed. I couldn't even cry anymore.

I've never stopped crying personnaly, but nobody really prepares you for what your body's gonna go through.

At least boys, when they start puberty, they're having sex education.

Do you guys know where I could go to find out more information? 'Cause...

When I got my T. I got it from my friend

- and it was kinda smuggled or whatever, so...
- Jeez!

What dosage were you on, dude?

like every week but

- when it started, I...
- Week?

Do you have any idea what that could do to your liver?

Not to mention your personnality.

You've got any friends left, man?

Yeah, I do, but it's been pretty messed up.

I mean, I freak out a lot.

I mean, that's why I came here.

I thought maybe you guys could help me out.

We're gonna give you the number of a doctor, okay?

He's an endocrinologist that a lot of us see.

Thanks.

This is just so insane!

The idea that I'm not trustworthy?

She's the one with the pattern of lying and cheating.

She is the one who swore.

She swore from the day Angelica was born, that she was our child.

Our child, unequivocally, irrevocably, our child.
And then the second, the second it becomes inconvenient she starts saying

"ooh, it's my daughter".

She's the one who tried to take her away in the first place.

No! In the first place, she's the one who went scampering back to the safety of white heterosexual priviledge.

Safety?

This is about the bravest thing I've ever done.

I stand to lose all my friends who view me as some sort of turncoat.

They don't hate you because of your sexual orientation, Tina.

They hate you because you can't be trusted not to use it against me when it comes to sharing custody of our child.

Here we go with the trust thing again.
That is so f*cking crazy!

- Don't you dare...
- Oh, because you would never do such a thing?

I'm sorry but who was it that kidnap our daughter and drove off in the middle of the night?

- Could you move, please?
- Okay, okay, well I'm glad to see that

- you've made your decision.
- What decision have we made?

Mommie Dearest and Mommie Dearest will be fighting this out in a court of law.

Which in the end is not a terrible thing.

How is that not terrible thing?

Yeah, in what universe isn't that a terrible thing?

Well, in the universe of my bank account, for one.

And luckily for me, my client is employed again.

But the real beauty is that this case will be a media bananza.

And Tina, if I may step back in to my role as mediator for right now, I suggest you find yourself a better lawyer.

- What's wrong with my lawyer?
- Why are you telling her this?

Well, Charles is competent but frankly, he's a milltoast.

I'll have him for breakfeast.

Oh it's a shame Johnny Cochran's dead.

Flamboyant, African-American lawyer, arguing on behalf of your picture of perfect white, hetero family.

That would have been perfect for you.

Because as you know, we're going be playing the race card.

It's not a card.

It's something I know to be firmly and intrinsically true.

Tina is not qualified to parent a biracial child.

Oh yeah, and I was qualified to live and sleep with one for years?

Obviously you were'nt qualified for that either.

Let's keep on the high road, okay?

And you, my little sweet, you will be known in the press as Baby A, the artificially conceived daughter of a bisexual, white movie exec and a biracial, lesbian, art world titan.

Oh my gosh!

The fundamentalists will picket.

Liberals and feminists will argue among themselves.

Good Christian folks will write into the Op-Eds offering to adopt her away from her sick and perverted warring parents.

So I got the name of this doctor who treats pretty much

- all the trans guys in Los Angeles.
- Oh cool!

The guys in the group, I mean, they couldn't even believe how much T I've been on.

So I'm gonna make an appointment as soon as I can.

Oh it's awesome.
Sorry, I hope he can help you.

Hey Jenny, the door?

f*ck! Can you just get that for me? I'm sorry.

Hello Max.

Hey, let me help me with those. I've got it.

Hi!

How are you?

It's so nice to see you.

How are you?

- Good.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

It's gonna be fine.

Okey dokey I think we got everything in here a girl could need.

- Just in time.
- Come here sweetie.

Hey Angie, you're ready to go?

She's ready to rock.
So, the schedule is she's with mama T for a couple of days and then I'll be by her on wednesday and pick her up and bring her back to mama B.

Aren't look after her when she's with me? I've still got to work.

Yeah, I've been real busy lately. Uh...
My band just put out our demo on myspace. So I've got, you know, meetings with record companies.

You know what?

I'm sure Hazel won't mind babysitting for both Angie and Mickey.

- Hazel's fantastic.
- Here we go!

Here we go.

So I guess I'll type up a schedule.

Are you still

- using iCAL?
- Yeah.

Okay, well then I'll do it in iCAL.

It'll be good.

This morning, it was .

Now tonight, well look at that!

It's up to !

Now, that's all within only hours after her name appeared on OurChart.

She has crashed our server.

She has caused a lot of panic among our web programmers and she's deplaced perhaps the greatest player in the history of players!

Now, all I can say is: Papi,

Papi, if you're out there, if you are real, if you really exist, please make contact with us.

You can call us, you can drop us an email.

Let us know who you're hanging out. I will find you.

Let us know when you sleep.

If you do.

I just wanna know, Papi, how you do that thing you do?

This is Alice Pieszecki signing off with the question that is on everyone's mind tonight.

Where's Papi?

You have a party!
Come on!

Come on!

Come on little freak.

Come on baby, we're having a party.

- Everybody, this is Shane!
- Hey Shane!

I know what you need.

It's snow time!

That will wake you up.

Here you go.

You look so cute lying there all crashed out like that.

- Come dance with me.
- Yeah Shane.

I know you like the bubbly ones.

All I have is

- "caviar, crème fraîche".
- And I think I found some crackers.

It's moldy.

It's okay.

I'm glad we don't have to leave the house.

Hi. I'm here with Kit Porter.
She has an appointment.

Here we go.

If you'd do fill up these paperwork we'll get you in for your pregnancy test in a few minutes.

But I've already done like of those tests at home and...

I've been acting like a lunatic and puke in my guts over the last ten mornings.

I don't need another test.

It's recquired, dear.

Just a standard procedure before we can offering any other services.

You came in a cab from the airport. Remember?

Yeah, I did? I did, I did.

But these are yours, right?

- Where are you going?
- Nowhere. But I'm gonna take these.

I don't know what your f*cking problem is but you know if you do this you'd be... happy?

Where is the doctor that's gonna do this?

Congratulations!

Congratulations for what?

Here is a picture of your beautiful little baby.

The approximate due date is September th...

What are you doing?

Here is a picture of your baby if you do the terrible thing you're thinking about doing.

Dr Lambert will meet with you in his office in a minute

- to talk about some other alternatives.
- Angus! Angus! Get me out of here!

Get me the f*ck out of here! Angus, please, get me out of here,

- please take me, let's go, let's go!
- Your clothes?

- f*ck my clothes! Come on!
- You don't wanna wait here?

- Everything's gonna be okay.
- Get the f*ck away from me.

- We just wanna pray with you.
- Oh no you don't!

- Dr Lambert, we need you at the reception.
- Their self point is,

- bible pushing, anti-woman!
- No, no, no.

- We're not anti-woman.
- Oh yes, you are. You're here to... harass and intimidate desperate women who come here for help!

Miss Porter, why don't you just come with me.

Why don't you just shut the f*ck up!

I swear to God if you come near me I will abort your head from your body with my bare hand!

Come on Angus, let's get out of here. I hate these f*cking people!

Hi!

- Can I help you?
- Is Carmen here?

She doesn't wanna see you, Shane.
She's done with you.

I know she probably hates me but I would love to

- talk to her for just...
- She doesn't want you here, man!

Look at you!

You're a mess!

Hey you're pathetic!

I'm thanking God my cousin didn't marry you.
Come on.

You're going.

Go!

Leave!

You know, you should just stay here.

She's all pretty bad.

Imagine that Holly Golightly in her late s penned a memoir of childhood sexual abuse and adult self mutilation and in doing so, convicts us the post traumatic stress symptoms can sometimes double as in analgesic and aphrodisiac, a party drug, a seduction style manual. Jennifer Shecter has written a wincingly acude if shamelessly self indulging portrait of herself.

m*therf*ckers! We should just burn down the clinic.

I just want to firebomb them.
They don't know who they're messing with.

Guys, you need to calm down a little bit.

But what do you gonna do in a situation like that?

I'll give them a situation.
I wanna burn that clinic down!

- Arson! Arson!
- Alright, look.

Why don't you just do like a benefit for Planned Parenthood.

Something positive, it doesn't carry a sentence of to life.

Hi. waters with extra lemon, please.

Wow, are we really that untouchable?

- What are you talking about?
- You just backed away from us, like we have some sort of heterosexual cootie.

Don't be ridiculous.

- I didn't back away from you. Hi!
- Hi...

- Hi, how are you doing?
- Good.

Did you get the phone call?

Aaron Cornbluth?
Yeah.

- Meeting him on wednesday.
- Me too.

Who's Aaron Cornbluth?

He's our new boss.

A fellow Irishman, no doubt.

Was that an anti-Semitic remark?

God, I hope not.

She did back away from us.

She did...

- "Your Sweet Lovin" - by Margie Joseph

Ladies, ladies and ladies and gentlemen.

I am so proud to introduce you to a woman we've all been waiting for.

To some of you here tonight, she's an old friend.

She ran away for a little while and then she came back and we are so glad she did because she's one of the most beautiful special and intriguing people to ever spend time here at the Planet.

- Are you serious?
- So ladies, ladies, ladies and gentlemen, here she is...

Jenny, come on.
Come on.

Bette, is that...?

The woman you've all be waiting for.

Did you know she was in town?

Oh my God!

Girl where you've been?!

Oh my God!

Kit...

Marina! God! You look fantastic.

Wow!

It's really good to see you.

Where you're staying?

Yeah, who you're here with?

You're gonna be here for a little while or just visiting?

- And I heard you were in Rome?
- I thought it was Florence?

Oh ladies, ladies, let's see. Uh...

I'm here for business.

I'm in Los Angeles for days.

I'm staying at the Bel Air because I think it's important to revisit the places where we face our darkest demons.

And it is Rome, not Florence.

But I feel like I'm interrupting something.

Ladies and gentlemen, please pay your undivided attention to the lovely and talented Jenny Schecter.

What's her name?

Thanks. Marina, De La Crabedesca Ferrer.

How do you know her?

We were friends.

What kind of friends?

She was my first.

Then she was very important to you.

For a minute, I guess.

Congratulations, Jenny.

Your story's wonderful. Beautifully written. It reminds me of

Dorothy Allison with the chic of Mary Gaitskill.

In the magazine they compared you to Truman Capote.

They compared her to Holly Golightly, not exactly the same as Truman Capote.

Better. Don't you think?

I'm Marina Ferrer.

Claude Mondry.

I'm proud of you.

- Are you well?
- I'm great. I'm great. How are you?

Good. In the last year I've done something I've always dreamt about.

I'm touring with a group of dancers as their benefactor.

I raise the money, I find the theaters and they're very unusual.

Are they performing here in Los Angeles?

Uh, yes, I'm gonna bring them to Los Angeles and I hope for you to come.

I wish you the best of luck with that.

- Good luck to you too.
- Thank you.

See you have it already.

Do you think she'll have sex with us?

No.

Ask her.

- "Shakedown" - by Sierra Swan

"Ah bon?"

"Ok"

"Bon ben je suis là"

"Ouais, ben je garde le téléphone avec moi"

"Oui, à côté"

Ciao.

"Pas mal..."

I think you get lucky.

Won't you get lucky too?

"Mais j'ai une chance inouïe"

What are you waiting for?

Well my New York Times interview's gonna be posted at midnight, so I'm

- gonna go check.
- Are you kidding?

I don't think she's kidding.

But I think you should stay here and be with Marina.

Good night.

"Ben c'est pas grave"

"Hein?"

I should have known sooner or later the bastard would walk out on me.

Carla?

I also should have known that you wouldn't call me back.

The thing is, I've got no pride left. So...

Here I am.

You called me?

Five, six, maybe ten times.

I'm sorry. I...

I lost my phone.

And I'm sorry that Gab let you down.

My fault.

- I should have known better.
- No, it's... It's not your fault.

He made you think you could change him.

And he...

Well he'd think he could invest himself in that.

And... that's when real damage comes in.

You know, all I've done for the past days is lying on the floor.

I just crawl from room to room.

Try to talk, all that comes down is crying.

Try to eat...

Puke my gets up.

Puke so much...

Started spitting out blood.

If I could turn back the clock I'd spare you.

Bad fortune you'd ever knowing me.

I left you a gift. It's on the back porch.

Where are you going?

To meet father, really.

Carla, you're sick. Let me take you to a doctor.

That would fix everything, huh?

Go to hell!

Carlaaaaaaaaa!
