I'm just on my way to the grocery store.
Um.
To get some bread.
For toast.
I've, uh I've forgotten my wallet and my keys.
So I'm just gonna go get them.
Where's my head? And when does it start prepping? Mm-hmm.
Good.
So when do I have to go to Virginia? It's exciting! Allright! Allright.
Thanks, Val.
You're going to Virginia.
As the personal for Drew Barrymore.
It's a huge fashion picture.
And my budget's gonna be three times what it was on "Darkness.
" That's wonderful.
But I wish you had discussed it with me before making that decision.
I don't know what there is to discuss.
I got offered a job; I took it.
What about our summer holiday? I was organizing the house in Hydra.
I never signed off on Hydra.
We talked about it, but I didn't say "book a house.
" Did you book a house? I just want to spend time with you.
You've been here six weeks out of an entire year.
Don't you want to spend time together? Come and be with me now.
C'mon.
Now, the fact is, I can't afford not to do this job.
Do you have any idea how much you owe? A lot.
Sweetheart I want you to have your beautiful dream.
Then I have to go to work, don't I.
To take care of you.
And while I'm gone you can resume your little thing with Jenny.
I know you don't want to be here with me now.
You want Jenny.
And he's rough, you know? It's like like he fucks me.
Y'know? It's hot.
- Yeah.
That's that's wicked hot.
- It is.
It really is.
'Cause, 'cause there's not that, you know, bullshit of like you know, I do you, you do me, and, you know we check in, have we had equal time? And all that crap.
You know, Al, just 'cause you're riding the big fat weenie doesn't mean there's something wrong with the way the rest of us do it, okay? Hey, look, now that you're out big-time, let's give you a mullet.
- What? No.
- Yes, c'mon, hockey hair, it'll be hot.
- No - I don't think she's ready to be a bulldyke, Shane.
Thank you.
The thing is, though, you guys, I you know I've only slept with him, what, like five times? - So, if I'm late - - You're late? For my period? I'm sure you learned in 5th grade that that's part of your reproductive cycle? - Whoa, whoa.
So, what are you saying, then? - I'm saying if I'm late, it wouldn't be Andrew's.
Well, would it be Lisa's? Wow.
Well, he'd be the first lesbo in history ever to pull that one off.
Shit Oh, so, according to the C.
A.
C.
, the world that we live in is a godless one.
And art reflects that.
It mirrors the world we live in.
Do you think the fact that you're homosexual makes you morally bankrupt? I am a pervert.
And only a pervert could show this work.
I di - I didn't know I was being taped.
Anyway, that is not what I said.
She twisted it.
That's what they do.
And you can be sure that this tape has been sent to every conservative Congressman along with this lovely document.
A lifesized painting of the president in an SS uniform.
Jesus sodomizing Mary.
And this is a doozy, This is a live performance piece? - Are you sure this is art? - Absolutely.
We put it to a vote, Bert.
It's an important exhibition and the museum stands behind it.
Okay.
You are gonna have to learn how to deal with Fae Buckley.
She was caught off guard, Bert.
Could happen to anyone.
As your counsel I can tell you they will try and get at you on legal grounds.
- Untranslated subtitle - There's two ways to go.
One: They rant and rave while we look the other way.
We do not engage.
That is what we've been doing.
Sitting with our hands folded in our laps while they call us pornographers and pedophiles.
The other strategy is to meet them head-on.
Duke it out.
I want to challenge Fae Buckley to a debate.
The woman's a gladiator in the public arena.
She's brilliant.
She pretty much always wins.
Let's do it.
- What am I gonna do if I'm fucking pregnant? - Get an abortion, Al.
You could give the baby to Bette and Tina.
Well, we're already like a family, it'd be like the kid belongs to all of us.
SSo, instead of "Heather Has Two Mommies," Heather has six mommies.
No, Bette and Tina would be the moms, but we'd all be connected because of how it went down.
- Look, Dane, this is gonna be entirely natural, okay? - Okay.
As long as it's not too, like, crazy or anything.
Allright.
Or too cool, I hear you.
But think about it, we'd be the kid's extended family.
That's a great idea, Shane.
Look, there's no bigger karmic lesson than doing something entirely selfless for another person.
I'm serious.
How about a little support for me? Tina, Bette would've hired somebody to do this for you.
And I would do that for you.
I'm not gonna, uhuh come to your, uh show tonight.
I'm sorry I can't.
Hey, it's okay.
I'm sure Bette will come.
Tina, I wouldn't want you to do anything you're not up to doing.
But don't you think it'd be good for you to get out? It's great.
I look good, right? - You look hot.
- You look excellent.
Look at this.
I mean, from the neck, up.
I mean, we really gotta do something about your clothes.
Gotta take her to Fred Segal.
I got these at Fred Segal.
Shane.
Madame Cherie.
Line 3.
She requires your attention, immediatement.
Hello.
- Hi - Hi - Where are you taking me? - It's a secret Okay.
Let's go! Well? Well I don't know why we're here.
Steve and Harry own most of this block.
They're developing it.
And I've convinced Steve to invest in you.
So you can open your own shop.
- No - no way! - Way! But you can't tell him that I brought you here, okay? Isn't it just oozing with potential? It's beautiful.
I mean it's un-fucking-believable I mean I think I'd keep this like the old barbershop.
No big reception desk or anything, just the cutting stations right here.
And this could be the waiting area where they've sofas and tables.
I see it: mid-century moderne.
Kind of kitschy but chic.
Hm.
I'm thinking: pool table.
And up here, it could be - it could be the coloring or the shampoo stations.
- Shane - Yeah? Look at this.
- Ah, fuck.
- Yes, please.
I know I was only, uh 12 weeks.
But I feel like I lost someone I was with my whole life.
My baby boy.
Uh just the last week we found out it was gonna be a boy.
You'll try again.
I know it's hard to think about it right now.
But you'll try again.
I know that Tina's devastated.
Frankly, that's the way she should be feeling.
She's grieving what about you, Bette? I see you steady and strong.
Letting Tina lean on you.
Has it sunk in for you, yet? Have you cried? Believe me, it's sunk in.
But, uh Karen asked you a specific question.
Have you cried? I don't need to cry.
I wanna see some episodes of "Insight.
" Can you get me some tapes tomorrow morning? hey! Tina.
Tina Now is the time.
You know? When something terrible happens and you feel yourself being sucked into that black pit of despair, it's time to get outside yourself and force yourself to do something for people who can't even tell you what despair is, 'cause that's all they've ever known.
I'll be there all day tomorrow.
- What did he want? - He wants me to volunteer.
Hm.
Maybe you should check it out, maybe it'd be good for you.
Yeah.
Do you think you're gonna be able to make it to Kit's show? Babe, I really don't want to.
I told Kit, she understands.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, can I get - This is so funny.
I had group today.
Oh, you missed my ass? You guys have a whole session talking about how you feel about me getting the hell out of there? Well, we had quite a few other things to talk about, but I have to admit that it's not as intense without you.
What.
Don't tell me this is the last place you'd expect to see me? - I just never figured you to be a Kit Porter fan.
- She's my sister.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Hey, hey.
Meet my ex.
Bette Porter, this is, uh, Candace Jewell.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

This is Yolanda and Candace.
This is Slim Daddy.
Hi, nice to meet you.
And now put your hands together , together - together - together for Kit Porter! Whoo! This, this is so cool.

Thank you.
I don't know what I - what I wanna say, but.

Kit Porter is a real motherfuckin' diva.
Ya'll go on, give it up for Kit.
- I respect that she's your woman - She's not.
You met my woman.
Oh, right, right.
Well, I still think the two of you would, uh you know? Yeah.
Lord have mercy on me.
Sing that song, Kit I pass by the California Arts Center every morning.
I'm doing a job, right near there.
What kind of job? My partner and I are doing the finish carpentry on a loft in Venice we've been remodeling.
You're a carpenter? You sure you don't wanna run out with us tonight, baby sis? We got everything for everyone who needs anything.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I've gotta get home.
Well, I guess I'll dream about the two of you.
'Cause I got that basic instinct about you.
Don't you get my sister into any trouble.
I can handle it.
Oh, thank you.
Goodnight.
I'm so proud of you.

- Really, you like the 'do? You look great! - What're you doing? - Me? - Yep -I'm drinking coffee.
Oh, you can't do that.
Bette and Tina would kill you.
Right Shane? Bette and Tina would kill her because she's Uh oh, fuck.
I'm sorry.
Alice might be pregnant.
"Might" being the word I'm clinging on to.
And we just thought we thought it was karmically destined because Bette and Tina wanted a baby so badly.
- You mean, you would have a baby - And Bette and Tina would adopt it.
Right, Shane? Well, yeah, but Ey, ey.
Look, you can't say anything because they don't know and Yeah.
And you might be misreading the karma or something.
- Oh, the karma.
- Yeah.
- Do you know what an extraordinary gift that would be? - Yeah.
They're making super-sure I know that.
Not just to Bette and Tina, but to all of us.
The whole DNA model of family is being reinvented.
We're making a new world that reflects the way we love and make relationships and - I'd like to see that reflected somewhere.

- Who, Marina? I already rescued you.
Remember? C'mon, we'll take the Jag.
Hope you don't mind, we're gonna drop my daughter on 3rd Street.
So she can kill a couple hundred of my hard-earned bucks on an outfit that looks like it came from the Salvation Army reject bin.
- Oh, That's fine.
- I was hoping you might hang out with Clea for a while.
- Just something.
- Well Well, you know what, Shane She quit college after six months.
She's flailing.
I thought maybe you could spend a little time with her today.
She might open up to you.
Just an instinct I have.
-I don't know, Steve, it's - -I would consider it a favor.
Oh - yeah, absolutely.
Yes, no, I've checked that.
I'm checking it twice, right now, actually.
You told him that we're a non-profit organization? That it's a tax write-off? Well, then you should let him know that we We're waiting for him.
We got a grant to hire a law firm.
So now, more than 50,000 L.
A.
garment industry workers have health benefits for the first time, ever That was our biggest project.
Mostly, we - we deal with very human-scale stuff.
Y'know.
I forgot to tell you.
Um we also have a Gay and Lesbian Alliance.
I don't know if that's something you'd be interested in.
Um, I think I'd like to do something, um uh, with kids.

Esai, here, is working with these guys to bring down Clay Patterson He's the televangelist whose refinery is giving Cancer to hundreds of kids in the south L.
A.
'hood He's a bastard.
He gets around every court injunction.
Some Christian, huh? Have you ever come across a woman named Fae Buckley? - Ben Coughlin just resigned from our board.
- You're kidding.
Yesterday in the mail, he got 62 individual letters with his company credit card chopped in pieces from people who don't want to buy office supplies from a blaspheming pornographer.
Shall we get back to work? Organs of dead animals decomposing? A man strangling himself while masturbating? You call that art, Miss Porter? Those are inflammatory descriptions, Miss Buckley, of but a few works of art in a much larger exhibition.
But she didn't answer the question: What makes that art? Excuse me.
I'm sorry, I have to take it.
It's Tina, she's been having a rough time.
Baby, are you allright? I'm with Oscar.
Oscar Alvarez.
- Look, I'm right in the middle of- - You're not gonna believe what he does here.
You have to come by.
Hey.
You're not gonna believe what we found on Fae Buckley.
Is that what you've been doing, Fae Buckley research? Yeah.
Did you know she was one of the main people responsible for getting that teacher fired at the University of Missouri? Yeah, they trumped up child porn charges based on a picture of a 3-year-old playing naked on a beach.
I've been doing this all day, Tina.
I mean, I've got a highly-paid P.
R.
firm working with me.
My people aren't slouches.
Look, this is what Oscar does.
Okay? Just listen.
- Is there a problem? - I thought this was supposed to be about Tina finding something of her own? I thought this was supposed to be about helping Tina get out of a bad depression.
Gotta look at this.
I think you and your people might find this pretty interesting.
Hey.
Clea will be right out.
Now, I want you to know, I will not forget this Now, Cherie is planning this big mother-daughter trip to Paris.
And you should hear her making all these arrangements.
Sounds Like she's planning the Camp David Summit.
Now Clea doesn't want to go.
See if you can't change her mind.
Have a good time, sweetheart Look - I know this is lame.
But your father asked me to do this, okay? Crap.
- Allright.
- Allright.
Allright, allright, allright.
This should be pretty easy.
Oh, shit! Fuck me! Sorry Nice work -Can I go one more? - Yeah.
Man, I haven't played this game since I was, like seven years old.
- No? - No - I never did this as a kid.
-What, your parents never took you? No, they weren't around.
I met my mom once.

"Here Cums the Principal"? C-U-M-S.
What is this? Okay hang on, hang on a minute.
- Just, Jesus, just turn it off.
I mean, really, what are you going to tell me? That Fae Buckley produces porno videos? No, no, no.
There, see that girl right there? She's 17.
She ran away from home when she was 14.
Apparently her father was abusing the hell out of her, and her mother couldn't or wouldn't stop him.
Child services report we pulled has all the gory details.
But her porn star name is China.
Her given name is Cora Buckley.
I know that they know I'm gay, I just really don't want to talk about it with them.
Oh, they're such pervs.
Well, why are they pervs? Well, they have this cabinet that they normally keep locked in the media room.
Anyway, one night they got drunk, and left some stuff out, and Consuela was cleaning the next day and just happened to push play on the VCR, and up pops my mom buck naked, okay, riding my day whipping him with a switch.
I t was pretty gross.
You know, but you gotta you gotta give it to your folks, I mean they want to keep their life interesting.
And they .
- they still want to get it on - God.
You know.
I've never met anyone like you before.
Well that's - that's not necessarily a very good thing.
Tell me more about your parents.
Like, how come you didn't live with them? No - No.
No I - No I can't do that.
It's not right.
- Why? Because it's not what your dad had in mind when he asked me to hang out with you God, I don't care! I'm - I'm involved with a few things that I - I just, I don't wanna - Oh, like drugs? What? Yeah, that's part of it.
- What if it's not true? - We got ahold of the police records.
And the missing persons report.
We have evidence of Fae paying off a district court judge to expunge the record.
Then why has it never come out? Because our people don't know how to play this game.
We're progressives and we're accused of being morally bankrupt.
They have so many fucking skeletons in their closets and we don't touch them.
We take the high road, we wind up in the ditch.
We leave our dirty laundry hanging out all over the place cause we're not so ashamed of it; they grab it and wave it around.
They make us look like perverts! We have to get into their closets We cannot afford to keep on being so high-minded.
Because we're getting killed.
- Hey - Hi.
- Dana, right? Jenny.
Are you alone? - Yeah.
- Can I sit with you? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on.
Here, sit.

- Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Well, Alice was supposed to come with me, but her boyfriend called, so - Alice is bisexual? - Yeah This is like something out of the Mm-hmm, yeah.
Well, it's the oldest lesbian bar in LA.
Actually, it probably hasn't changed since the 1950s.
But really, it's no different than any other club, you know, I mean you have a few drinks and you talk to a few people you have nothing in common with, and realize how unlikely it is you'll ever meet anyone who's right for you again.
So you have met someone that's right for you? We broke up.
- It's messy.
I know that.
- Oh, no, no, it's no problem.
- Yeah.
It's fine.
- It's small.
There aren't, uh too many places to sit.
Oh, sorry.
So you're a tennis player? What's that like? - I tr -I train a lot.
-Wow.
That's really interesting.

I don't have anything to drink.
Do you want juice? - Sure.

As you can see.
It used to be my, uh writing studio - Um but, you know, that thing with Tim and I - Oh, oh, right, yeah, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
So, he's letting me stay here so far.
And I pay him rent.
Which is kind of weird.
Y'know.
Hm.

- Oh, God.
Just give them to me.
I'll get them dry-cleaned.
- Oh, gosh.

- Oh - Ooofff.
Damn.
- Oh, sorry.
Did that hurt? - No, that's alright.
- Um, you know, why don't, uh - What? Is this no good? - Yeah, why don't you get up on top? - Okay.
Here.
Here.
- Ohh.
Here.
That's - This is a really bad idea.
Isn't it? - It's really bad.
- Maybe we should stop.
Before it gets too grim.
- I think so.
- Maybe we should just be friends or something.
- Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
- I'll just grab this.
- Okay.
Oh, God.
I am so PMS.
It's good to get off my feet, I have so many functions this month.
- Steve and I are the Co-Chairs of the "Have A Dream Gala".
- It's good to see you.
I've been dying to get these chrome hearts motorcycle boots.
They would look amazing on you.
- Look, baby, I need to talk to you.
- I got you a present.
- No I can't.
- Don't be ridiculous.
Try it on.
I can't.
Look Cherie, if I am going to do business with you and your husband I'm not getting involved in your marriage, I'm sorry.
You're not trying to break up with me, are you? Because that would be a very very bad thing to do.
- Do you like fucking me, Shane? - I love it.
Steve will never find out.
- I'm not wearing any underwear.
- I know.
I can see that.
- You're crazy.
- You have no idea.
- Uh, does it lack - Okay, okay, does it lack does it lack oh, - "does it lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value?" - Good.
"Insight" is just down here on Stage 4.
Now what are you going to do when she baits you? "So, Miss Porter, why are you such an angry lesbian?" "Miss Buckley, why are you such a lying, scheming bigot?" Okay, sorry.
"Miss Buckley, I don't deny I am a lesbian, and it makes me angry when people who haven't taken the time to see the work, distort and misrepresent it to the public and to the media.
" Is that better? It's a little combative.
But it's good.
Okay, wait.
What else are we forgetting? What else are we forgetting? Okay, we did critical thinking, First Amendment, uh, censorship in America there's the Kurosawa quote.
- What is the Kurosawa quote? Okay, "Never avert your eyes" - Baby, you are so prepared.
Just relax.
Take a deep breath.
Okay? You're gonna be great.
Thank you so much for being here with me.
I know how hard it is for you right now just to get out of bed in the morning.
- I'm going to be okay.
- I know.
- Let's do this in front of Fae Buckley.
- I'm there.
- Okay.
- Tim, no! - Come on.
I am going to get you with this.
Ahh! Be nice! Come on.
- Jesus Christ, it was hard enough to find - - Bette! - I am so glad to see you.
I have really been looking forward to this.
- Yes, so have I.
- Good, I see you've met.
- Bette Porter - Welcome to the show.
- Nice to have you again.
- Oh, I am so glad to be here.
Darla will be out in a few minutes to take you both to make-up.
I'll see you on set.
Hm.
It must be hard for make-up people to find your color.
It's so in between.
I guess Darla will have to mix.
- What did she mean by that? - She was letting you know that she knows personal details about you.
She knows you are half black.
-Is that a crime now? -She was trying to psyche you out.
I can see that it worked.
Look, Bette.
The Board is fine with it, I am fine with it, if you want to use that video.
Fuck.
Wait a second.
I'll be right back.
Promise.
- Hello? - Hi.
Okay.
Tim? We need to talk.
- Can't it wait? - No, no, no.
It's can't wait.
Because you know what? Every minute that goes by, you're gonna get into deeper and deeper trouble.
You know you shouldn't be dating a student.
- Look, Jenny, it's none of your business.
- I know it's none of my business, okay? what if Randy were to find out, Tim.
Tim? Come on.
Open the door.
Come on.
- If Randy were to what? Hm? - Can you come in, please? - Don't.
- I'm not going to do this in front of her, okay? - Jenny, you have no right.
Stay out of my life.
- No - What are you going to do, Jenny, huh? You gonna fucking report me? - Fuck you.
You're obviously that fucking treacherous.
I have with me, Bette Porter, the Director of the California Arts Center, the museum that is mounting the controversial exhibition, "Provocations"; and Fae Buckley of theCoalition of Concerned Citizens, the group that is leading the efforts to shut down the exhibition.
She needs to loosen up.
She should smile.
Everytime something doesn't go their way, they cry "fascism" And I'm sorry this had to happen in front of you, but if you really care about him, you're gonna back off.
Let me tell you something, Jenny.
Nobody in their right minds would believe for a second that you give a shit about what happens to me.
Are you in fact betraying the public trust? On the contrary, George.
I am trusting the public.
I mean what gives me the right to decide what you can and can't see? I am not more entitled than Miss Buckley is to decide for you what is going to uplift and enlighten you.
Oh, there she goes again with that liberal duck and parry.
It's just plain bad faith to promote an agenda the way this art show does and then claim no responsibility for the immoral behavior it encourages.
Art is meant to be perceived and interpreted.
It doesn't intrinsically advocate behavior How can you say you're not advocating behavior? Your whole purpose is to make that lifestyle appear normal so that more people will want to try it If I were trying to convert people to my lifestyle, as you seem to imply, Miss Buckley, do you really think that I would do it by using images of a man flaying himself and trussing his testicles? That piece makes me so uncomfortable, I can barely look at it.
I don't think it is going to make anyone want to become a lesbian.
Where is the accountability? Someone has got to - I opened the '97 Brunello.
- Is that the Caparzo or the Castelgiocondo? Well, if it's too expensive, I can always pawn my watch.
Don't be petulant, Marina.
It's not how you want me to remember you when I am deciding who to take to Antigua when I wrap.
moral Americans aren't responsible enough to decide for themselves whether to go to an art show that might What about that, Fae, are you contradicting yourself? Miss Porter's a very clever woman, aren't you Miss Porter? She thinks she is clever enough to trick the rest of us into believing that filth isn't filth.
Blasphemy isn't blasphemy.
Pornography is not pornography.
But, this stuff speaks for itself and however hard she tries to defend it with her fancy language and her insulting logic, all it is is sheer, disgusting, filthy, ugly pornography.
She is a pornographer.
I, uh I understand why Miss Buckley is so sickened by the porn industry, I do.
I mean, it's brutal, especially for the poor children.
.
and teenage girls who get lured in and exploited.
All because they were running away from something.
Those children lacked love.
They were abused.
And how awful it must be to come from a home life so desperate.
There is a world of difference between complex, provocative art and the tragedy of the porn industry.
May I ask what is in the box? Does it somehow relate to our discussion? - Do you believe in God, Bette? - I don't see what that - Because if you did, this wouldn't be complex.
You see God has already done the work of sorting through all of this for us.
Faith makes seemingly complex things simple and obvious.
- God is about the most - - The Bible condemns homosexuality.
That¡¯s why God took your unborn child from your lesbian lover.
And that was a blessing.
That baby is with Him now.
So he doesn't have to suffer the degradation he would have been subject to had he been born into your depraved life.
Monster.
Monster.
