The L Word: Generation Q
Oh, shit!
You should not be
fucking around in here.
I'll just stay out of your way then.
- You kind of have a pattern.
- Is that what you think about?
- When you think about me?
- Sometimes.
Contestant three, I choose you!
You're not regular.
- Yes, I am.
- Well, so am I.
There's a 45-foot
picture of you outside.
Guess who's coming to
town tonight? Roxy!
- She is into you.
- Do you want to go home with me?
I'm halfway out the door, baby.
I just can't stop
thinking about this person.
When are you gonna
stop punishing me, Fin?
I don't want to be your patient.
Mom, I don't mind.
I want to go live in the nursing home.
- I want to have a baby.
- My mom
doesn't even know we're dating yet.
So, who's the guy?
It's just the fact that
it's really new and nobody knows.
- Okay.
- A secret boyfriend?
- Who are you?
- I can show you who I am.
Well, it's not a bad start.
As much as I'd like to, I can't.
Fuck you, Shane.
Ah!
Yeah, I couldn't get middle seats,
but I did get a row where
there's no one behind us,
so we don't have to worry about
people kicking our seats.
Yeah, yeah, that sounds good.
- I'll just
- I'll find you guys when I get there.
Oh, it's just us. Um,
Taylor's got to work.
But, can you please not be late?
'Cause you know how I
like to watch the previews.
I know that. I know, I
know, I know. I promise.
I'm gonna be there at 7:30 sharp.
Okay. I'm gonna get two
popcorns though, 'cause I don't
like to share. But then
sometimes I'm like, should I
- get a medium
- Okay, okay, bye.
- Oh
- Hi. How are you?
I just started packing
these for your mom.
Okay.
Are those ?
I-I think we should talk about this.
I don't really have anything
to say to you right now.
All right. I just, uh
- I don't know
- Oh. Oh, my God!
- What?
- Is that a bee?
- What?
- Oh, my God. Go!
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Get it.
Okay, I got it, I got
it, I got it, I got it.
Well, don't kill it.
Wh-What are you doing?
- It's right there.
- Okay, yes.
Who said anything about killing it?
- Hold on.
- Okay, well, just, I don't know.
They're just endangered or whatever.
- Okay, good.
- It's fine.
- I wasn't gonna kill it.
- Fine.
Can you open the door?
Tess, do you want me
to release it here in the kitchen?
- Okay, no, but just
- Open the door. Come on.
- Keep Wait.
- What?
Keep it away from me.
- Come on, come on, come on.
- How do you fucking do this?
I know, I know, it sticks. Just open it.
Oh, goddamn it.
- No, don't get it near me.
- All right.
- It's all right.
- Okay, but just wait, let me,
let me close the door first.
Let me close the door first.
Okay.
Okay. Okay, go.
All right, it's gone.
Are you all right? We survived.
- Whew.
- Are you allergic?
I just, I've never
seen you act like this.
I don't know. Maybe.
Those plants need watering.
What?
- What?
- This is locked.
No, it's not.
It's jammed. It's not locked.
- It's locked.
- Oh, my God. No, no, no, no.
Please tell me you
have your phone on you.
- Do you?
- No.
Are we fucking trapped
out here together?
Well, it's certainly
feeling that way. Yeah.
You're fucking kidding me. Oh, my God.
Uh-uh, no. Hello!
What, um, what is his name?
- Harvey.
- Harvey!
The-the wife, the wife
What is the wife's name?
Ellen.
Ellen! Why the fuck
They are never home!
Mack. Mack. Mack!
Mack! Mack!
There we go. Come on.
Be the hero, Mack. Be the hero.
Honey, up here. High-five
me. Come on, baby, high five.
- Paw.
- Oh, my God.
- Paw, Mack, paw.
- As if the dog can open the door.
Do you have a better suggestion?
Mack, come on, big boy.
Come on. Come on.
- Come up here.
- Oh, my God, is anybody
- gonna find us out here?
- Listen to your mom.
Mack, Mack. Mack No, Mack.
Ah, fuck!
You wanted to talk, right?
Okay, let's talk.
G, are you busy?
Please say no 'cause I
kind of have a she-mergency.
- What? What happened?
- Promise you won't judge me?
- I promise. Wh ?
- Um, okay,
So I was at the Lambda Chi house
and one of the baseball guys
- was eyeing me.
- Uh-huh.
I love how the booty
looks in those pants.
I'm not sure I can help
you out with that one but
We started making out in his room.
He had, like, no bedsheets, by the way.
- Ew. I
- Angie
there's a condom stuck inside me
and you got to help me get it out.
Please.
A what?
Okay, so
what do you want to know?
Oh, man, okay.
Um
- What's their name?
- Um, Dre.
- She has a hot person's name.
- No, that is not
a hot person's name.
No. No.
They're not hot.
Okay.
That actually makes me
feel a little bit better.
Okay, good. Good.
Um, how did you meet them?
- Um, I-I met them on Hinge.
- Hinge? When did you join Hinge?
After you left rehab
and decided you were
gonna stay at sober living.
Up in the Bay.
I got lonely.
- Uh, how many times?
- How many times, what?
How many times did you sleep together?
- Once.
- So, you had a one-night stand?
Basically.
- What does that mean?
- We
we slept together once,
but we hung out twice.
Okay, so you liked them
enough to call them again.
I guess so.
Uh
- Why did it end?
- Because I was in love with you.
And I told them that,
and then that was it.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Right answer.
Why didn't you just tell me?
Because you were doing so well and
I didn't want to be the
reason you weren't doing well.
Are they as charming as I am?
No!
No way.
- Got nothing on you.
- Yeah?
Yeah. No, I love you, too.
I said I love you, too.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, bye.
She knows. My mom
knows that we're dating.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
How scared should I be of Grace?
No, she's she's totally into it.
- Come on.
- Oh, my
- Should we celebrate?
- Sure.
You want to find a sperm donor?
Whoa, that is way better
than what I was going to say.
What were you going to say?
- Organize the Tupperware drawer?
- Oh, yeah.
Okay, well, maybe we
could be wild and do both.
Can we be in bed by 9:00?
- Maybe, uh 8:30?
- Shut up. What a dream!
Okay. I'll get started on the lids.
Okay. Mwah.
No, no. I don't want to
hear how sorry you are.
- Okay, then, what do you want to hear?
- Nothing, actually.
There's nothing that you could say.
- So just
- Okay.
Then I'll say nothing, and
then you'll say nothing.
- And sure, yeah. That sounds like fun.
- Yeah, it does.
- I know you're thinking something.
- I'm thinking that I'm an idiot.
- You're not an idiot.
- Oh, yes, I am.
Because I knew about you.
Your reputation. Everybody does.
But what-what I don't
understand is this
Is this really what you do?
Is this really who you are?
- You know who I am.
- I thought I did.
- I also thought that you loved me.
- I do love you.
You have a really fucked-up
way of showing it, Shane.
You're right. I do.
I understand that.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I didn't.
Well, you failed miserably at that then.
I do want to know why though.
Just an old pattern.
- Yes, but why?
- I don't know why.
Okay.
Then how about you take
this time while we're locked out
here on your fucking patio
and think about it.
Okay, so what the website said to do
is to get into the position
that you would to put in a tampon.
Okay.
Wait, that's how you put in a tampon?
- How do you do it?
- Like this.
Oh.
Okay, and then it said
you need to, like, put your fi
Two fingers, and like a, like a hooking,
like a hook, hook, hooking situation.
- Okay.
- To try to get it out.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Mm.
Mm, I-I can't tell what's
me and what's the condom.
- Just feel for something slimy.
- Well, everything is slimy.
- Ow, ow, ow.
- Oh, no, what's wrong?
- What's wrong?
- Mm.
I picked the wrong day
to get my claws done.
Ow! Okay, okay. This isn't working.
Just calm down.
Just calm down.
That's, like, the main
thing. You're okay.
- Okay, okay.
- Take a deep breath.
Okay, okay.
- Angie?
- What?
Will you please get it out for me?
Hey, D-bag, it's Roxy.
I caught an early flight to Costa Rica.
Good job crying it out the other night.
The real deal is gonna happen
- for you soon. Trust me.
- No, no, no. Oh, yo! Yo!
- Whoa, bro!
- Hey, hey, hey. Watch it!
Oh, shit.
You good?
Yeah.
The scooter almost took you out.
Yeah.
I think you might have
just saved my life.
I feel like I should kiss you right now.
But, I mean, I won't
because this is real life
and not a shitty rom-com.
I'm so sorry.
No, no, no. No. Don't, don't apologize.
- I'm sorry.
- No
I just, I didn't mean to
just kiss you, it just
Next up, we have
What do you think? You gonna, uh
sign up, serenade me again?
That was a good move, okay?
- It was.
- It sure was.
It worked. I believe I went
home with you that night.
- Oh, you sure did.
- You got me.
Where's my song?
Oh, you do not want to
hear this bad boy sing.
- Yes, I do.
- No.
Sing for me, please.
Sing something in my ear. Go.
Okay, stop, stop, you're
hotter when you don't.
Okay. See, I told you.
But I do have something
that, um, you might like way better
- that I've been thinking about all day.
- Yeah, what?
You want to meet me in
the back office in ten?
- Really?
- Yeah, I'm the, uh, big boss tonight.
- Ooh, big boss. Big boss lady.
- Yeah, I'm in charge.
Ew.
- Oh. Sorry.
- Sorry.
- I'm kidding. Hi.
- Hi.
- Uh, can I get you anything?
- Yes. I'll have a tequila rocks.
- Okay. Nothing cheap.
- Okay. No, I know, bud.
- I've been to your house.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- So, uh
- Wait, where's Roxy?
- Oh, she's
she's off to Costa Rica
because of course she is.
Can I tell you something
without you being totally judgy?
- Uh, when have I ever?
- Okay.
- I just kissed this really hot person.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
I'm thinking maybe I'll have, like a,
- like a hot girl autumn or something?
- Oh, my God.
- I love this for you!
- They saved my life.
- Did I mention that?
- No.
I was literally like J.Lo
in The Wedding Planner.
Oh, my God, you get to be
J.Lo in The Wedding Planner?
I fucking love that movie.
- Me too!
- Wait,
but also problematic
culturally
Oh, yeah, but everything
in the 2000s kind of was.
I know. What, what?
She was playing an Italian person.
- J.Lo is Puerto Rican!
- Right.
And what was that, the-the
guy with the shitty accent?
- Oh, my God, what was his name?
- Massimo!
- Oh, my God.
- So cheesy.
Oh, God, we loved
Massimo. Oh, my God, wait.
What did J.Lo say when
Matthew McConaughey
saved her fucking life? It was, um
Oh, she goes, she goes, "You saved
my shoe."
Wow, we have a ton of options here.
Well, the, uh, the rock
climber sounded promising.
Eh, he's only five-seven.
Six-plus or bust. We are
not messing around here.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Are you serious?
- I mean,
why not? If you have the option to.
My family are all shorties.
- We have to average it out somehow.
- Right. Okay.
Okay, I definitely think
that we should go with
the athletic body type.
- This is weird. It's weird. It's weird.
- Why?
- It kind of feels like eugenics.
- What?
- No! Ew, no.
- Come on.
I'm sorry but, you know,
choosing physical traits,
- it's-it's weird, right?
- No, it's not.
Look, we have a chance to
design the perfect baby.
Yeah, it's eugenics.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Um, also, this is insane.
- Why do we have so much Tupperware?
- We have a problem.
Oh. Shane!
Psst, Shane!
Oh.
That's not Shane.
It makes sense, but, like,
this is like wax and
sugar. Is this good?
Oh, yeah, that's great.
You can have the salty popcorn.
Sex always means something.
To me it really is just sex.
So what, are you like proposing
we do ENM or something?
- I don't know what that is.
- Ethical Non-Monogamy.
- It's like multiple partners.
- No, no, no, no, no. I just
- I wanted you.
- Well, it does not feel like that.
Are you an addict?
- I don't know.
- Because when I think about
your behavior like that, like,
it makes more sense to me.
M-Maybe I am.
O-Okay.
- Okay, then
- It's not that simple though.
It's just, it's been a lot.
Hasn't it?
- Admit that. Please.
- Uh, okay.
When you moved in here, it was great.
It was. And then, and
then your mom comes.
Oh, my God, that is not fair.
You said that you wanted her to move in.
Wait, wait. No,
no, no, no, no. Let me finish.
I'm glad she came here.
And I'm so happy we could
help her. I don't regret that.
We also have Dana's.
And then you want a second bar.
And somewhere within all of that
you changed.
And you stopped seeing me.
I'm not trying to blame you.
I'm just trying to explain this.
- There was a disconnect.
- Yes. Okay, yes.
Like, it's It's been hard.
But you know what
I did when I started
feeling like it was too much?
I wrote in my fucking
journal, Shane.
I didn't go out and
fuck the first person
that showed me some kind of attention.
- I know. You're right.
- Yeah, no shit, I'm right.
Anyway, how's work?
- It's good.
- Yeah?
Yeah, um, I'm actually throwing
Fletcher's album release
party in a couple of weeks.
Fletcher?
- Mm-hmm.
- Can I come?
- Yeah, everyone can come.
- Wow.
Yeah, I feel like things
are finally turning around.
Yeah.
Can you, can you play this one?
- I'll give you the signal.
- All right.
Oh, my God. That's them.
Dang, this mic is high.
Let me just
There we go.
- Hi.
- Oh, my God.
I know, right?
Hey, everybody. I'm Dre.
That's that's them.

person I slept with when
No.

Have you ever been to therapy?
No.
Well, would you consider it?
Yeah, I mean
if I thought it would help.
- I'm not against it.
- It does work.
I know that you have
been through so much.
I try to remind myself of that
every every time I
think about that you
- Just say it. I cheated on you. Right?
- Yes, that you cheated.
We've all been through a lot.
All of us.
But we all don't hurt
people the way that you do.
And that's nobody else's fault.
- I'm not saying it is.
- Okay, so you need to
- take responsibility for that.
- I am taking responsibility for it.
- Have I been denying this?
- No.
You're taking responsibility
for it now because you feel bad.
So what happens when
that feeling disappears,
and you're not feeling so bad about it?
Are you still gonna want to
take responsibility for it?
Because that's what has to happen
in order for you to change.
And I need you to change.
I want you to change.
Like, but, is that, is that
something that you want?
Do you want to change?
Yeah, everybody just
make your way to the exit.
Thank you.
Please, leave your drinks.
Night, night's over. I'm so sorry.
This-this isn't a drill.
We appreciate the business.
Just make your way calmly.
- Please. Just, uh Thank you.
- All right. All right.
All right, Fin, Fin, Fin, please,
can we just talk about this?
I can't hear you. The-the
alarm is going off.
I saw you pull the alarm, okay?
I need, I need you
to leave the premises.
I didn't know that they
were going to be here.
- I didn't know.
- Please. Go, go!
It's for your own safety, ma'am, please.
Fin, come on.
I need you to exit the building, please!
Just get out, please.
Fuck.
- You want to grab dinner?
- Um
I can't. Actually.
You're right. We should
probably just go back to mine
and finish what we started.
- Okay.
- Okay?
I'm just saying, this
night could be over.
My adrenaline is fucking pumping.
I never performed in L.A. before.
And fire alarm or not,
that crowd was dope.
- Where do you usually perform?
- My house. TikTok.
Tiny-ass venues in Ohio.
A retirement home in Akron. Yeah.
You're really good.
I think you're great, actually.
- I'm glad you liked it.
- Unfortunately,
you did sleep with
my ex, and I'm really
not into being anyone's
second choice, so
Wait, wait. I've been
here for six months,
how could I have slept with your ex?
Hey, Dani, can I get a ride?
Hey, uh nice to see you again.
Hey. Yeah.
- Cool.
- It was nice to meet you.
That's it?
No, actually.
Um if you ever need
a publicist, hit me up.
A publicist? Wonderful.
Great.
A publicist, bro?
All right. I see you, Dani.
Shoot.
Okay.
- What, what's wrong?
- I'm afraid I'll hurt you.
Well, I thought you knew
your way around down there.
Well, the thing is, my
high school girlfriend and I,
we, like, did stuff, but we didn't
- Oh, you've never had sex?
- Technically, no.
- No shame.
- No, but, yeah.
We just never really felt ready.
Okay, but you want to
bone your new guy or no?
That's, like, a big question
to ask before I penetrate you.
Okay, it felt natch to me.
Well, he asked me to go away
- with him and I
- OMG, are you gonna do it?
- I want to but
- But what?
Ask me anything. I'm an open book.
I just don't even know
like how it starts.
Okay.
My experience is, like,
it will be super awkward and quiet,
and then I'll lean in
and kiss whoever it is,
and then it sort of
just goes from there.
- Cool.
- With consent, of course.
Of course, yeah, we love consent.
We sure do. Then clothes come off.
You touch him. He touches you.
Usually, they're, like, a little off.
- Off, how?
- Hmm, they miss. They think
they're on your clit and
they're rubbing your labio
- like they're DJing in Ibiza.
- Ew.
Stop it.
Stop doing that.
Oh, yeah. Boys are usually
total dummies about sex.
You just have to guide
them a little bit.
Tell them what you like.
Like, literally, spell it out for them.
PowerPoint presentation that pussy.
And I'll just know what I want.
Yeah, you got to trust your instincts.
You probably know a
lot more than you think.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- I'm ready.
- Okay.
Okay, please let me know if I hurt you.
Mm-hmm. Just-just do it.
- Do it.
- Okay. Ready? Here we go.
Mm. Mm.
- I got it. I got it!
- Oh, my God!
- Thank you!
- Oh, my God, ew, ew, ew.
I knew you could do it!
I knew you could do it!
I feel really accomplished!
- Yes!
- Oh.
- Good, good. Oh, my God.
- Wow. Wow.
Oh, well, now you just got to do
a little something for yourself.
Like what?
Like this.
Here.
Uh, excuse me, can you please move?
- I'm trying to watch the movie.
- Oh, it's just gonna take a second.
- You're being rude.
- I'm trying to spy on my girlfriend.
Hey, actually, what do you think?
You think they look
like they're on a date?
Or do you think that could be,
like, her cousin or
something? It's hard to tell.
I can't
I can't really tell from here. Can you?
That's the most exciting thing
- anyone's ever done for me.
- Ooh.
Well, let's hope
they're not full-blood.
What the actual fuck, Taylor?
- You're on a date?
- Alice? What are you doing here?
Are you crazy?
- Hey, hey. You lied to me.
- Sit down, lady.
Okay, this is just gonna take a
second, sir, so just pipe down.
You told me you were working
and you're clearly on a date.
I know.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have
lied to you about having to work.
Yeah, no shit. I thought
we were, like, a thing.
We are a thing.
And we can be a thing,
too. We just don't know yet,
- because we're dating.
- Yeah, we're dating.
Yes, this is dating. We date each
other and we date other people.
Uh, since when?
Since the beginning of
time, as far as I know.
Well, I wish somebody
had told me. Namely you.
I thought you knew.
And I definitely thought
you were dating other people, too.
- Why would you think that?
- I don't know.
You're famous.
Who is she?
- Okay
- Is it Ellen?
No. Okay, that is
such a bullshit excuse.
- I should just go.
- No.
- What?
- No, you should stay.
Alice
It's not an excuse.
Okay? It's just a fact.
I like you.
But I also like my regular life.
And those two things
don't naturally go together
because we just live
in different worlds.
You with the reg
Oh, my God, I'm normal.
- I have normal friends.
- No. You're not.
And you haven't been for so
long you can't even see it.
No. No, you know what?
I think you're looking
for things that are wrong
because this is right.
Did you ever think of that?
Did that ever occur to you?
That maybe this is about
you and not about me?
I just need to go slow.
You know, just turn
the heat down a little.
And I guess I just didn't
know how to tell you that.
Well, this way sucked.
- For all of us.
- Sit down.
- Oh, shut it, mister.
- Yeah.
You never had a little
dating drama in your life?
No.
I'm sorry I lied to you. I really am.
Yeah, I am, too.
You like her more than me?
Alice.
You didn't have to answer that.
Well, enjoy your movie.
By the way, he dies in the end!
Come on, lady!
Okay, okay, let's just think
of another way to pick a donor.
Right? Let's, uh, not
focus on perfection.
- What are we looking for?
- I guess you.
You have managed to both
flatter me and insult me?
- Only you can really do that.
- Oh, thanks.
Okay, so, who are you?
Uh
Okay, me, uh
Who am I? Um
I am Chinese American.
- That feels important.
- Of course.
Uh, I don't know, I'm anxious.
You want our kid to be anxious?
No, no, of course not.
I'm just describing myself.
- You like books.
- That's true. I do.
But, I mean, is there
a section for that?
I see, uh, favorites
animal, favorite person,
education, food. I mean
This is really making me sad.
Yeah. Yeah, me too.
You know, this was
supposed to be really fun,
and it's just depressing, really.
I just wish we could make a baby
that's part of you and part of me and
Yeah, me too.
Cis-heads can just get drunk
and do this on accident,
but we have to self-reflect and
Oh, cis-heads definitely need
to be doing some self-reflecting, too.
- And there should be a test.
- Right?
There's a test for everything,
except to be a parent.
- Any idiot could do it.
- Oh, and they do.
- All the time.
- Okay, maybe we just have to
figure out what we have in common.
So the baby, like, fits
in our family, you know?
Yeah.
- Yeah, I love that idea.
- Okay.
Okay. All right. Well, let's
see if shit-talking is a category.
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's right here.
- Under religion.
- Wow.
I thought you were it for me.
Yeah, I never
let myself think about the future.
'Cause my mom, she always
made all of these big promises,
every time she got a new
gig, or met a new guy.
And none of them
ever panned out. So
- I just stopped thinking long-term.
- Yep.
And I've tried, but I've never
been able to think long-term.
I let myself with you though.
I saw my life with you.
Us getting old together.
I've never been able
to do that with anyone.
But it can't happen.
Unless you really
try to figure out why
it is you do what you do.
Because if you don't,
we're just gonna end up
right back here and
I can't do this again.
It's just too painful.
Do you understand that?
I'm not happy, Tess.
Hey. Tess.
No, I'm so sorry, I can't
do this back-and-forth.
I just, I need to get
off this fucking ride.
Oh, my God! No.
Just not. Definitely.
How do you even do that?
- Hmm.
- Okay, uh let's see.
Oh, what about this one?
- Yeah, I like her.
- Yeah.
She's all like, I'm cute, I'm compact
And I get shit done.
- Sure.
- Yeah.
Oh, God, you're hilarious.
He's lucky to have you.
- Thanks, Bella.
- Mm.
- That's super sweet.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, purchased.
- Oh, I should get one, too.
- But, like, in different colors.
- So we don't mix them up.
- Oh, my God.
- Such a good call.
- Thank you so much.
Yep, yep. That is the right move.
Hey, Mack. Where's your mama?
- Oh, my God.
- Shane?
Oh, my God. Finley!
- Open, open the door, open the door.
- Hi, okay.
Hey.
Oh, my God, I was wondering why
you weren't answering my texts.
Oh, God.
- I, uh what happened?
- Thank you.
I'm gonna get my stuff
and I'll take the dog.
What? That's it? You're just gonna go?
Yeah.
I don't know what else to do, Tess.
I can't keep hurting you, so
I think this is for the best.
Oh, my God.
I had a shit day, too.
It's okay.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
No fucking results?
You got to be kidding me.
Back to the Tupperware?
Yeah.
Hey.
Outside? Here?
Now?
Okay.
- Sorry I closed the bar early.
- It's fine.
- I'll pay you back whatever I lost.
- I'm sure it wasn't much.
Or you can just take
it out of my paycheck.
But maybe not all at once.
Or just do whatever you think is best.
It's fine.
Also, we might owe the fire
department a couple thousand dollars.
But it was that or drink.
So I just thought it was best
to get the hell out of there.
Mm.
I'm talking because I felt like
whatever happened out there was bad,
and I want to make it better,
but I don't know how to, so
We need to go to a meeting.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Um, let's go to a meeting.
- Okay, yeah, let's do that.
- Let's, um
- That's a good idea.
Yeah.
All right. We got ice cream.
- Mm-hmm.
- Popcorn. Here we go.
Yeah, for sure.
Oh. God.
- What happened tonight was
- Oh, my gosh.
It was gay, so very gay.
- There really aren't enough of us.
- Mm-mm. You know
you should hit them streets and
start recruiting some more people.
I'm sure they'd sign up in a heartbeat.
Right.
Mm.
You know, I, um
I haven't really let myself
think about Dre since we met.
God, we had the best weekend together.
It was like I was in a different life
- for a minute or something.
- I can imagine.
I don't have to imagine, actually.
I have my own version
of them right up here.
- Yeah, that's right.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, if if you're into them
and you wanna see where
it goes, like, don't
- Mm. No.
- I'm
No, no, no, no. No, no. No.
I'm not gonna do that to you.
You know me. Loyal like a dog.
Yeah.
- Mm!
- Hmm?
We should watch the director's
cut of The Wedding Planner.
- Oh, my God. Yes, we should.
- Yes.
And you know why?
Because, you know, it
just makes me feel good
knowing that J.Lo's heel
just so happens to be
the exact same size as
a manhole cover hole.
- You remember that shit?
- That is what makes it fate though.
- I know, it's fucking fate.
- It's fate.
Oh, wait, what does he say?
"I have no idea
why you became a wedding planner, Mary.
But I know the curves of your face.
And I know every fleck
of gold in your eyes.
And I know that that night in the park
was the best night I ever had."
So good.
Okay, you've definitely
seen it too many times.
Oh, fuck, yeah. Again
and again and again.
- By the way, he dies in the end.
- Come on, lady!
Okay, stop. I can't watch it anymore.
- Stop.
- Wow, they really turned on you.
I know.
Can you blame them?
Okay, it wasn't my finest moment.
You look insane.
- Okay! Okay. Okay.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
And it looks like I ate
both tubs of popcorn.
- Did you eat both popcorns?
- Well, yeah, I mean
Duh.
All right.
You know, it's not like it
was even right with Taylor
Or anyone lately.
Do you ever think that maybe
this "not right" thing
has more to do with you?
- No.
- No?
- Mm-mm.
- All right.
- You okay?
- No.
No, no, I'm not. I'm not okay. I, uh
I ruined it.
I ruined it. With Tess.
- No, she loves you.
- Yeah, but that's not enough.
Well, look at us.
Oh, yeah.
You want to be the little spoon?
No one's ever asked me that.
- Yeah, I'll be the little spoon.
- You got it.
Previously on
The L Word: Generation Q
Oh, shit!
You should not be
fucking around in here.
I'll just stay out of your way then.
- You kind of have a pattern.
- Is that what you think about?
- When you think about me?
- Sometimes.
Contestant three, I choose you!
You're not regular.
- Yes, I am.
- Well, so am I.
There's a 45-foot
picture of you outside.
Guess who's coming to
town tonight? Roxy!
- She is into you.
- Do you want to go home with me?
I'm halfway out the door, baby.
I just can't stop
thinking about this person.
When are you gonna
stop punishing me, Fin?
I don't want to be your patient.
Mom, I don't mind.
I want to go live in the nursing home.
- I want to have a baby.
- My mom
doesn't even know we're dating yet.
So, who's the guy?
It's just the fact that
it's really new and nobody knows.
- Okay.
- A secret boyfriend?
- Who are you?
- I can show you who I am.
Well, it's not a bad start.
As much as I'd like to, I can't.
Fuck you, Shane.
Ah!
Yeah, I couldn't get middle seats,
but I did get a row where
there's no one behind us,
so we don't have to worry about
people kicking our seats.
Yeah, yeah, that sounds good.
- I'll just
- I'll find you guys when I get there.
Oh, it's just us. Um,
Taylor's got to work.
But, can you please not be late?
'Cause you know how I
like to watch the previews.
I know that. I know, I
know, I know. I promise.
I'm gonna be there at 7:30 sharp.
Okay. I'm gonna get two
popcorns though, 'cause I don't
like to share. But then
sometimes I'm like, should I
- get a medium
- Okay, okay, bye.
- Oh
- Hi. How are you?
I just started packing
these for your mom.
Okay.
Are those ?
I-I think we should talk about this.
I don't really have anything
to say to you right now.
All right. I just, uh
- I don't know
- Oh. Oh, my God!
- What?
- Is that a bee?
- What?
- Oh, my God. Go!
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Get it.
Okay, I got it, I got
it, I got it, I got it.
Well, don't kill it.
Wh-What are you doing?
- It's right there.
- Okay, yes.
Who said anything about killing it?
- Hold on.
- Okay, well, just, I don't know.
They're just endangered or whatever.
- Okay, good.
- It's fine.
- I wasn't gonna kill it.
- Fine.
Can you open the door?
Tess, do you want me
to release it here in the kitchen?
- Okay, no, but just
- Open the door. Come on.
- Keep Wait.
- What?
Keep it away from me.
- Come on, come on, come on.
- How do you fucking do this?
I know, I know, it sticks. Just open it.
Oh, goddamn it.
- No, don't get it near me.
- All right.
- It's all right.
- Okay, but just wait, let me,
let me close the door first.
Let me close the door first.
Okay.
Okay. Okay, go.
All right, it's gone.
Are you all right? We survived.
- Whew.
- Are you allergic?
I just, I've never
seen you act like this.
I don't know. Maybe.
Those plants need watering.
What?
- What?
- This is locked.
No, it's not.
It's jammed. It's not locked.
- It's locked.
- Oh, my God. No, no, no, no.
Please tell me you
have your phone on you.
- Do you?
- No.
Are we fucking trapped
out here together?
Well, it's certainly
feeling that way. Yeah.
You're fucking kidding me. Oh, my God.
Uh-uh, no. Hello!
What, um, what is his name?
- Harvey.
- Harvey!
The-the wife, the wife
What is the wife's name?
Ellen.
Ellen! Why the fuck
They are never home!
Mack. Mack. Mack!
Mack! Mack!
There we go. Come on.
Be the hero, Mack. Be the hero.
Honey, up here. High-five
me. Come on, baby, high five.
- Paw.
- Oh, my God.
- Paw, Mack, paw.
- As if the dog can open the door.
Do you have a better suggestion?
Mack, come on, big boy.
Come on. Come on.
- Come up here.
- Oh, my God, is anybody
- gonna find us out here?
- Listen to your mom.
Mack, Mack. Mack No, Mack.
Ah, fuck!
You wanted to talk, right?
Okay, let's talk.
G, are you busy?
Please say no 'cause I
kind of have a she-mergency.
- What? What happened?
- Promise you won't judge me?
- I promise. Wh ?
- Um, okay,
So I was at the Lambda Chi house
and one of the baseball guys
- was eyeing me.
- Uh-huh.
I love how the booty
looks in those pants.
I'm not sure I can help
you out with that one but
We started making out in his room.
He had, like, no bedsheets, by the way.
- Ew. I
- Angie
there's a condom stuck inside me
and you got to help me get it out.
Please.
A what?
Okay, so
what do you want to know?
Oh, man, okay.
Um
- What's their name?
- Um, Dre.
- She has a hot person's name.
- No, that is not
a hot person's name.
No. No.
They're not hot.
Okay.
That actually makes me
feel a little bit better.
Okay, good. Good.
Um, how did you meet them?
- Um, I-I met them on Hinge.
- Hinge? When did you join Hinge?
After you left rehab
and decided you were
gonna stay at sober living.
Up in the Bay.
I got lonely.
- Uh, how many times?
- How many times, what?
How many times did you sleep together?
- Once.
- So, you had a one-night stand?
Basically.
- What does that mean?
- We
we slept together once,
but we hung out twice.
Okay, so you liked them
enough to call them again.
I guess so.
Uh
- Why did it end?
- Because I was in love with you.
And I told them that,
and then that was it.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Right answer.
Why didn't you just tell me?
Because you were doing so well and
I didn't want to be the
reason you weren't doing well.
Are they as charming as I am?
No!
No way.
- Got nothing on you.
- Yeah?
Yeah. No, I love you, too.
I said I love you, too.
Okay, yeah.
Okay, bye.
She knows. My mom
knows that we're dating.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
How scared should I be of Grace?
No, she's she's totally into it.
- Come on.
- Oh, my
- Should we celebrate?
- Sure.
You want to find a sperm donor?
Whoa, that is way better
than what I was going to say.
What were you going to say?
- Organize the Tupperware drawer?
- Oh, yeah.
Okay, well, maybe we
could be wild and do both.
Can we be in bed by 9:00?
- Maybe, uh 8:30?
- Shut up. What a dream!
Okay. I'll get started on the lids.
Okay. Mwah.
No, no. I don't want to
hear how sorry you are.
- Okay, then, what do you want to hear?
- Nothing, actually.
There's nothing that you could say.
- So just
- Okay.
Then I'll say nothing, and
then you'll say nothing.
- And sure, yeah. That sounds like fun.
- Yeah, it does.
- I know you're thinking something.
- I'm thinking that I'm an idiot.
- You're not an idiot.
- Oh, yes, I am.
Because I knew about you.
Your reputation. Everybody does.
But what-what I don't
understand is this
Is this really what you do?
Is this really who you are?
- You know who I am.
- I thought I did.
- I also thought that you loved me.
- I do love you.
You have a really fucked-up
way of showing it, Shane.
You're right. I do.
I understand that.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I didn't.
Well, you failed miserably at that then.
I do want to know why though.
Just an old pattern.
- Yes, but why?
- I don't know why.
Okay.
Then how about you take
this time while we're locked out
here on your fucking patio
and think about it.
Okay, so what the website said to do
is to get into the position
that you would to put in a tampon.
Okay.
Wait, that's how you put in a tampon?
- How do you do it?
- Like this.
Oh.
Okay, and then it said
you need to, like, put your fi
Two fingers, and like a, like a hooking,
like a hook, hook, hooking situation.
- Okay.
- To try to get it out.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Mm.
Mm, I-I can't tell what's
me and what's the condom.
- Just feel for something slimy.
- Well, everything is slimy.
- Ow, ow, ow.
- Oh, no, what's wrong?
- What's wrong?
- Mm.
I picked the wrong day
to get my claws done.
Ow! Okay, okay. This isn't working.
Just calm down.
Just calm down.
That's, like, the main
thing. You're okay.
- Okay, okay.
- Take a deep breath.
Okay, okay.
- Angie?
- What?
Will you please get it out for me?
Hey, D-bag, it's Roxy.
I caught an early flight to Costa Rica.
Good job crying it out the other night.
The real deal is gonna happen
- for you soon. Trust me.
- No, no, no. Oh, yo! Yo!
- Whoa, bro!
- Hey, hey, hey. Watch it!
Oh, shit.
You good?
Yeah.
The scooter almost took you out.
Yeah.
I think you might have
just saved my life.
I feel like I should kiss you right now.
But, I mean, I won't
because this is real life
and not a shitty rom-com.
I'm so sorry.
No, no, no. No. Don't, don't apologize.
- I'm sorry.
- No
I just, I didn't mean to
just kiss you, it just
Next up, we have
What do you think? You gonna, uh
sign up, serenade me again?
That was a good move, okay?
- It was.
- It sure was.
It worked. I believe I went
home with you that night.
- Oh, you sure did.
- You got me.
Where's my song?
Oh, you do not want to
hear this bad boy sing.
- Yes, I do.
- No.
Sing for me, please.
Sing something in my ear. Go.
Okay, stop, stop, you're
hotter when you don't.
Okay. See, I told you.
But I do have something
that, um, you might like way better
- that I've been thinking about all day.
- Yeah, what?
You want to meet me in
the back office in ten?
- Really?
- Yeah, I'm the, uh, big boss tonight.
- Ooh, big boss. Big boss lady.
- Yeah, I'm in charge.
Ew.
- Oh. Sorry.
- Sorry.
- I'm kidding. Hi.
- Hi.
- Uh, can I get you anything?
- Yes. I'll have a tequila rocks.
- Okay. Nothing cheap.
- Okay. No, I know, bud.
- I've been to your house.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- So, uh
- Wait, where's Roxy?
- Oh, she's
she's off to Costa Rica
because of course she is.
Can I tell you something
without you being totally judgy?
- Uh, when have I ever?
- Okay.
- I just kissed this really hot person.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
I'm thinking maybe I'll have, like a,
- like a hot girl autumn or something?
- Oh, my God.
- I love this for you!
- They saved my life.
- Did I mention that?
- No.
I was literally like J.Lo
in The Wedding Planner.
Oh, my God, you get to be
J.Lo in The Wedding Planner?
I fucking love that movie.
- Me too!
- Wait,
but also problematic
culturally
Oh, yeah, but everything
in the 2000s kind of was.
I know. What, what?
She was playing an Italian person.
- J.Lo is Puerto Rican!
- Right.
And what was that, the-the
guy with the shitty accent?
- Oh, my God, what was his name?
- Massimo!
- Oh, my God.
- So cheesy.
Oh, God, we loved
Massimo. Oh, my God, wait.
What did J.Lo say when
Matthew McConaughey
saved her fucking life? It was, um
Oh, she goes, she goes, "You saved
my shoe."
Wow, we have a ton of options here.
Well, the, uh, the rock
climber sounded promising.
Eh, he's only five-seven.
Six-plus or bust. We are
not messing around here.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Are you serious?
- I mean,
why not? If you have the option to.
My family are all shorties.
- We have to average it out somehow.
- Right. Okay.
Okay, I definitely think
that we should go with
the athletic body type.
- This is weird. It's weird. It's weird.
- Why?
- It kind of feels like eugenics.
- What?
- No! Ew, no.
- Come on.
I'm sorry but, you know,
choosing physical traits,
- it's-it's weird, right?
- No, it's not.
Look, we have a chance to
design the perfect baby.
Yeah, it's eugenics.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Um, also, this is insane.
- Why do we have so much Tupperware?
- We have a problem.
Oh. Shane!
Psst, Shane!
Oh.
That's not Shane.
It makes sense, but, like,
this is like wax and
sugar. Is this good?
Oh, yeah, that's great.
You can have the salty popcorn.
Sex always means something.
To me it really is just sex.
So what, are you like proposing
we do ENM or something?
- I don't know what that is.
- Ethical Non-Monogamy.
- It's like multiple partners.
- No, no, no, no, no. I just
- I wanted you.
- Well, it does not feel like that.
Are you an addict?
- I don't know.
- Because when I think about
your behavior like that, like,
it makes more sense to me.
M-Maybe I am.
O-Okay.
- Okay, then
- It's not that simple though.
It's just, it's been a lot.
Hasn't it?
- Admit that. Please.
- Uh, okay.
When you moved in here, it was great.
It was. And then, and
then your mom comes.
Oh, my God, that is not fair.
You said that you wanted her to move in.
Wait, wait. No,
no, no, no, no. Let me finish.
I'm glad she came here.
And I'm so happy we could
help her. I don't regret that.
We also have Dana's.
And then you want a second bar.
And somewhere within all of that
you changed.
And you stopped seeing me.
I'm not trying to blame you.
I'm just trying to explain this.
- There was a disconnect.
- Yes. Okay, yes.
Like, it's It's been hard.
But you know what
I did when I started
feeling like it was too much?
I wrote in my fucking
journal, Shane.
I didn't go out and
fuck the first person
that showed me some kind of attention.
- I know. You're right.
- Yeah, no shit, I'm right.
Anyway, how's work?
- It's good.
- Yeah?
Yeah, um, I'm actually throwing
Fletcher's album release
party in a couple of weeks.
Fletcher?
- Mm-hmm.
- Can I come?
- Yeah, everyone can come.
- Wow.
Yeah, I feel like things
are finally turning around.
Yeah.
Can you, can you play this one?
- I'll give you the signal.
- All right.
Oh, my God. That's them.
Dang, this mic is high.
Let me just
There we go.
- Hi.
- Oh, my God.
I know, right?
Hey, everybody. I'm Dre.

person I slept with when

Have you ever been to therapy?
No.
Well, would you consider it?
Yeah, I mean
if I thought it would help.
- I'm not against it.
- It does work.
I know that you have
been through so much.
I try to remind myself of that
every every time I
think about that you
- Just say it. I cheated on you. Right?
- Yes, that you cheated.
We've all been through a lot.
All of us.
But we all don't hurt
people the way that you do.
And that's nobody else's fault.
- I'm not saying it is.
- Okay, so you need to
- take responsibility for that.
- I am taking responsibility for it.
- Have I been denying this?
- No.
You're taking responsibility
for it now because you feel bad.
So what happens when
that feeling disappears,
and you're not feeling so bad about it?
Are you still gonna want to
take responsibility for it?
Because that's what has to happen
in order for you to change.
And I need you to change.
I want you to change.
Like, but, is that, is that
something that you want?
Do you want to change?
Yeah, everybody just
make your way to the exit.
Thank you.
Please, leave your drinks.
Night, night's over. I'm so sorry.
This-this isn't a drill.
We appreciate the business.
Just make your way calmly.
- Please. Just, uh Thank you.
- All right. All right.
All right, Fin, Fin, Fin, please,
can we just talk about this?
I can't hear you. The-the
alarm is going off.
I saw you pull the alarm, okay?
I need, I need you
to leave the premises.
I didn't know that they
were going to be here.
- I didn't know.
- Please. Go, go!
It's for your own safety, ma'am, please.
Fin, come on.
I need you to exit the building, please!
Just get out, please.
Fuck.
- You want to grab dinner?
- Um
I can't. Actually.
You're right. We should
probably just go back to mine
and finish what we started.
- Okay.
- Okay?
I'm just saying, this
night could be over.
My adrenaline is fucking pumping.
I never performed in L.A. before.
And fire alarm or not,
that crowd was dope.
- Where do you usually perform?
- My house. TikTok.
Tiny-ass venues in Ohio.
A retirement home in Akron. Yeah.
You're really good.
I think you're great, actually.
- I'm glad you liked it.
- Unfortunately,
you did sleep with
my ex, and I'm really
not into being anyone's
second choice, so
Wait, wait. I've been
here for six months,
how could I have slept with your ex?
Hey, Dani, can I get a ride?
Hey, uh nice to see you again.
Hey. Yeah.
- Cool.
- It was nice to meet you.
That's it?
No, actually.
Um if you ever need
a publicist, hit me up.
A publicist? Wonderful.
Great.
A publicist, bro?
All right. I see you, Dani.
Shoot.
Okay.
- What, what's wrong?
- I'm afraid I'll hurt you.
Well, I thought you knew
your way around down there.
Well, the thing is, my
high school girlfriend and I,
we, like, did stuff, but we didn't
- Oh, you've never had sex?
- Technically, no.
- No shame.
- No, but, yeah.
We just never really felt ready.
Okay, but you want to
bone your new guy or no?
That's, like, a big question
to ask before I penetrate you.
Okay, it felt natch to me.
Well, he asked me to go away
- with him and I
- OMG, are you gonna do it?
- I want to but
- But what?
Ask me anything. I'm an open book.
I just don't even know
like how it starts.
Okay.
My experience is, like,
it will be super awkward and quiet,
and then I'll lean in
and kiss whoever it is,
and then it sort of
just goes from there.
- Cool.
- With consent, of course.
Of course, yeah, we love consent.
We sure do. Then clothes come off.
You touch him. He touches you.
Usually, they're, like, a little off.
- Off, how?
- Hmm, they miss. They think
they're on your clit and
they're rubbing your labio
- like they're DJing in Ibiza.
- Ew.
Stop it.
Stop doing that.
Oh, yeah. Boys are usually
total dummies about sex.
You just have to guide
them a little bit.
Tell them what you like.
Like, literally, spell it out for them.
PowerPoint presentation that pussy.
And I'll just know what I want.
Yeah, you got to trust your instincts.
You probably know a
lot more than you think.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- I'm ready.
- Okay.
Okay, please let me know if I hurt you.
Mm-hmm. Just-just do it.
- Do it.
- Okay. Ready? Here we go.
Mm. Mm.
- I got it. I got it!
- Oh, my God!
- Thank you!
- Oh, my God, ew, ew, ew.
I knew you could do it!
I knew you could do it!
I feel really accomplished!
- Yes!
- Oh.
- Good, good. Oh, my God.
- Wow. Wow.
Oh, well, now you just got to do
a little something for yourself.
Like what?
Like this.
Here.
Uh, excuse me, can you please move?
- I'm trying to watch the movie.
- Oh, it's just gonna take a second.
- You're being rude.
- I'm trying to spy on my girlfriend.
Hey, actually, what do you think?
You think they look
like they're on a date?
Or do you think that could be,
like, her cousin or
something? It's hard to tell.
I can't
I can't really tell from here. Can you?
That's the most exciting thing
- anyone's ever done for me.
- Ooh.
Well, let's hope
they're not full-blood.
What the actual fuck, Taylor?
- You're on a date?
- Alice? What are you doing here?
Are you crazy?
- Hey, hey. You lied to me.
- Sit down, lady.
Okay, this is just gonna take a
second, sir, so just pipe down.
You told me you were working
and you're clearly on a date.
I know.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have
lied to you about having to work.
Yeah, no shit. I thought
we were, like, a thing.
We are a thing.
And we can be a thing,
too. We just don't know yet,
- because we're dating.
- Yeah, we're dating.
Yes, this is dating. We date each
other and we date other people.
Uh, since when?
Since the beginning of
time, as far as I know.
Well, I wish somebody
had told me. Namely you.
I thought you knew.
And I definitely thought
you were dating other people, too.
- Why would you think that?
- I don't know.
You're famous.
Who is she?
- Okay
- Is it Ellen?
No. Okay, that is
such a bullshit excuse.
- I should just go.
- No.
- What?
- No, you should stay.
Alice
It's not an excuse.
Okay? It's just a fact.
I like you.
But I also like my regular life.
And those two things
don't naturally go together
because we just live
in different worlds.
You with the reg
Oh, my God, I'm normal.
- I have normal friends.
- No. You're not.
And you haven't been for so
long you can't even see it.
No. No, you know what?
I think you're looking
for things that are wrong
because this is right.
Did you ever think of that?
Did that ever occur to you?
That maybe this is about
you and not about me?
I just need to go slow.
You know, just turn
the heat down a little.
And I guess I just didn't
know how to tell you that.
Well, this way sucked.
- For all of us.
- Sit down.
- Oh, shut it, mister.
- Yeah.
You never had a little
dating drama in your life?
No.
I'm sorry I lied to you. I really am.
Yeah, I am, too.
You like her more than me?
Alice.
You didn't have to answer that.
Well, enjoy your movie.
By the way, he dies in the end!
Come on, lady!
Okay, okay, let's just think
of another way to pick a donor.
Right? Let's, uh, not
focus on perfection.
- What are we looking for?
- I guess you.
You have managed to both
flatter me and insult me?
- Only you can really do that.
- Oh, thanks.
Okay, so, who are you?
Uh
Okay, me, uh
Who am I? Um
I am Chinese American.
- That feels important.
- Of course.
Uh, I don't know, I'm anxious.
You want our kid to be anxious?
No, no, of course not.
I'm just describing myself.
- You like books.
- That's true. I do.
But, I mean, is there
a section for that?
I see, uh, favorites
animal, favorite person,
education, food. I mean
This is really making me sad.
Yeah. Yeah, me too.
You know, this was
supposed to be really fun,
and it's just depressing, really.
I just wish we could make a baby
that's part of you and part of me and
Yeah, me too.
Cis-heads can just get drunk
and do this on accident,
but we have to self-reflect and
Oh, cis-heads definitely need
to be doing some self-reflecting, too.
- And there should be a test.
- Right?
There's a test for everything,
except to be a parent.
- Any idiot could do it.
- Oh, and they do.
- All the time.
- Okay, maybe we just have to
figure out what we have in common.
So the baby, like, fits
in our family, you know?
Yeah.
- Yeah, I love that idea.
- Okay.
Okay. All right. Well, let's
see if shit-talking is a category.
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's right here.
- Under religion.
- Wow.
I thought you were it for me.
Yeah, I never
let myself think about the future.
'Cause my mom, she always
made all of these big promises,
every time she got a new
gig, or met a new guy.
And none of them
ever panned out. So
- I just stopped thinking long-term.
- Yep.
And I've tried, but I've never
been able to think long-term.
I let myself with you though.
I saw my life with you.
Us getting old together.
I've never been able
to do that with anyone.
But it can't happen.
Unless you really
try to figure out why
it is you do what you do.
Because if you don't,
we're just gonna end up
right back here and
I can't do this again.
It's just too painful.
Do you understand that?
I'm not happy, Tess.
Hey. Tess.
No, I'm so sorry, I can't
do this back-and-forth.
I just, I need to get
off this fucking ride.
Oh, my God! No.
Just not. Definitely.
How do you even do that?
- Hmm.
- Okay, uh let's see.
Oh, what about this one?
- Yeah, I like her.
- Yeah.
She's all like, I'm cute, I'm compact
And I get shit done.
- Sure.
- Yeah.
Oh, God, you're hilarious.
He's lucky to have you.
- Thanks, Bella.
- Mm.
- That's super sweet.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay, purchased.
- Oh, I should get one, too.
- But, like, in different colors.
- So we don't mix them up.
- Oh, my God.
- Such a good call.
- Thank you so much.
Yep, yep. That is the right move.
Hey, Mack. Where's your mama?
- Oh, my God.
- Shane?
Oh, my God. Finley!
- Open, open the door, open the door.
- Hi, okay.
Hey.
Oh, my God, I was wondering why
you weren't answering my texts.
Oh, God.
- I, uh what happened?
- Thank you.
I'm gonna get my stuff
and I'll take the dog.
What? That's it? You're just gonna go?
Yeah.
I don't know what else to do, Tess.
I can't keep hurting you, so
I think this is for the best.
Oh, my God.
I had a shit day, too.
It's okay.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
No fucking results?
You got to be kidding me.
Back to the Tupperware?
Yeah.
Hey.
Outside? Here?
Now?
Okay.
- Sorry I closed the bar early.
- It's fine.
- I'll pay you back whatever I lost.
- I'm sure it wasn't much.
Or you can just take
it out of my paycheck.
But maybe not all at once.
Or just do whatever you think is best.
It's fine.
Also, we might owe the fire
department a couple thousand dollars.
But it was that or drink.
So I just thought it was best
to get the hell out of there.
Mm.
I'm talking because I felt like
whatever happened out there was bad,
and I want to make it better,
but I don't know how to, so
We need to go to a meeting.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Um, let's go to a meeting.
- Okay, yeah, let's do that.
- Let's, um
- That's a good idea.
Yeah.
All right. We got ice cream.
- Mm-hmm.
- Popcorn. Here we go.
Yeah, for sure.
Oh. God.
- What happened tonight was
- Oh, my gosh.
It was gay, so very gay.
- There really aren't enough of us.
- Mm-mm. You know
you should hit them streets and
start recruiting some more people.
I'm sure they'd sign up in a heartbeat.
Right.
Mm.
You know, I, um
I haven't really let myself
think about Dre since we met.
God, we had the best weekend together.
It was like I was in a different life
- for a minute or something.
- I can imagine.
I don't have to imagine, actually.
I have my own version
of them right up here.
- Yeah, that's right.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, if if you're into them
and you wanna see where
it goes, like, don't
- Mm. No.
- I'm
No, no, no, no. No, no. No.
I'm not gonna do that to you.
You know me. Loyal like a dog.
Yeah.
- Mm!
- Hmm?
We should watch the director's
cut of The Wedding Planner.
- Oh, my God. Yes, we should.
- Yes.
And you know why?
Because, you know, it
just makes me feel good
knowing that J.Lo's heel
just so happens to be
the exact same size as
a manhole cover hole.
- You remember that shit?
- That is what makes it fate though.
- I know, it's fucking fate.
- It's fate.
Oh, wait, what does he say?
"I have no idea
why you became a wedding planner, Mary.
But I know the curves of your face.
And I know every fleck
of gold in your eyes.
And I know that that night in the park
was the best night I ever had."
So good.
Okay, you've definitely
seen it too many times.
Oh, fuck, yeah. Again
and again and again.
- By the way, he dies in the end.
- Come on, lady!
Okay, stop. I can't watch it anymore.
- Stop.
- Wow, they really turned on you.
I know.
Can you blame them?
Okay, it wasn't my finest moment.
You look insane.
- Okay! Okay. Okay.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
And it looks like I ate
both tubs of popcorn.
- Did you eat both popcorns?
- Well, yeah, I mean
Duh.
All right.
You know, it's not like it
was even right with Taylor
Or anyone lately.
Do you ever think that maybe
this "not right" thing
has more to do with you?
- No.
- No?
- Mm-mm.
- All right.
- You okay?
- No.
No, no, I'm not. I'm not okay. I, uh
I ruined it.
I ruined it. With Tess.
- No, she loves you.
- Yeah, but that's not enough.
Well, look at us.
Oh, yeah.
You want to be the little spoon?
No one's ever asked me that.
- Yeah, I'll be the little spoon.
- You got it.
