The L Word s05e04 Episode Script
Let's Get This Party Started
Remember our plan if we ever get outta here.
Rolling.
Jorinda Garber, reading for the part of Jessie.
Jessie, I'm in love with you.
Vipers don't love, Karina.
They poison.
I still feel your venom cursing through my veins.
You used me as a pon in your twisted relationship.
How many girls have you and Frances destroyed to tell your sordid stories to each other as a foul play? - You don't understand.
- I understand.
I understand enough to know that I despise you.
You're the only that I've ever felt this way about.
Liar! Fucking liar! Liar! You're a fucking liar! No, Karina, I absolutely I hate you so much, Karina.
I absolutely hate you.
I really I can't! I Really, I love you.
I love you, I love you.
Cut! This was great, Niki.
How many girls have you and Frances fucked in order to tell sordid stories to each other, part of some fucking foul play! You're really fucked up, you know that? That was awesome! That was totally amazing.
I loved it.
- Good job! - Alright, Kit.
Switch up for a second.
I want to show you.
When you drop down on your two legs, Use your fallforce.
- I don't wanna go to SheBar.
- Why? 'Cause I'm not interested in L.
A.
's first super-hot, girls-only club, - straight out of Miami.
- It'll be fun.
- No, it's gonna be boring.
- I heard they sank a lot of money into it.
Are you gonna go, Shane? - I don't know.
I haven't decided yet.
- Oh, come on! When's the last time you missed a club opening? - It's gonna be torture for her.
- I never said that.
I just said I haven't decided yet, - and that's all.
- How could you not be going, Alice? Oh, 'cause Tasha can't be out at a lezzy bar, and I got invited to a Barry Bird party, with a guest.
The entertainment lawyer? You know, he's famous for those velvet, like mafia underground type parties for all the closet in Hollywood homos.
And it's fascinating, because, before you go to a party, you have to sign an anonymous closure form.
It's crazy.
- Alright.
- Nice work! Everyone gets a partner and some pads.
We're gonna learn how to face each other and go over some punching technics.
Why don't you wanna go? I've never been to one of the L.
A.
lesbian clubs before except for the Planet on thursday nights.
That's my point.
I just, I don't wanna go to a bar that's, you know, in direct competition with my sister.
But it's not a competition.
I mean, there's enough room for everybody and besides, it's so important to support women's businesses.
It's just like it's so important that you guys are here supporting me today! We're here because we love you.
And because we were so freaked out about the robbery.
Alright everyone.
Okay, right foot back, left foot forward.
Left hands up, okay? Protect your face.
When you are ready, you're gonna scream and defend, "No!".
- You're okay? You're okay? - Yeah.
Here we go! Who owns the SheBar anyway, you guys? It's those girls from Miami, you know, they're a couple.
Dawn Denbo, Cindy something-or-other.
They're, like, infamous party girls.
Hey, Shane.
Don't you think she's hot? The trainer? She's got the abs, she's got the ass No, I don't.
- "No", right, no? - Okay! So, I think that the bar, it's gonna be crazy, 'cause all the lesbians in Hollywood wanna be in the movie.
I won't worry about it too much, Jenny.
Fuck off! My agents are like, you should wear a tee-shirt that says: "Sorry, Nathalie Portman has the job".
Natalie passed.
We're going with Niki Stevens.
No, you're not! - Why didn't you tell me? - It happened late last night.
Let's switch up, switch up, okay? Other persons have the pads.
Tina, are you gonna go to SheBar? Yeah, I think so.
I thought you're gonna meet Brenda there? Who's Brenda? Just this girl I went out with last week.
She's a heart surgeon, she's hot, talks dirty in bed.
Dirty talking? Nice.
You slept with her on the first date? Yeah, I did, actually.
Now you're gonna go to SheBar with her? I don't know; she's going anyway.
I just thought I'd meet her there, since we're both going.
She's hot.
I like her.
- What the fuck, Bette?! - I'm sorry.
I'm just playing.
Alright everyone, let's stop with the pads training.
- Shane? - Yeah? Can I use you for a second? Yeah.
Teacher's going.
Someone's in trouble.
Pads over.
Alright.
Just wanna use you for a demo over here.
Come on, over.
Behind me.
Tight and closed.
All the way in, all the way in.
I don't know, I think we should sign Angelica up for self-defence class.
Let's just wait til she gets out of the stroller first.
Grab the wrist, twist over, punching into the nose, - knee into the groin.
- Summer, what if this motherfucker has a gun? If they have a gun, you do what they say.
Okay? But if you have a chance to run, you do it.
Run to safety.
Let's partners up and try this, okay? You've gotta learn these skills.
Okay.
One person behind, the other person's gonna come here front.
You're holding her nice and tight.
Okay? Grip, grip.
Nice and tight, okay? Behind, nice and tight.
Grip her.
You're the attacker.
I'm sure you can hold tighter than that.
Ok, persons in front, what they're gonna do - is - I think Summer likes you.
Would you please shut the fucking up? - God, frickin' mouth.
- Has anyone seen Shane's vagina? - 'Cause I think she dropped it somewhere.
- Okay, one, two, three, scream "No!".
You have 17 messages already.
Oh, that's nothing.
I mean, Alice gets, like, What are they saying? What? Nothing.
Just some ignorant jerk.
Read it to me.
"This is a lesbian space.
I don't really need to know that Max Sweeney thinks of his large click as a big dick and his freaked girlfriend likes to squeeze his tits and that's why he didn't get top surgery".
I guess that's why we post in here, right? To educate people like that, right? Whatever.
- Hey, Alice.
- Max, you invaded my space to put out your own agenda, and it wasn't cool at all.
But, here's what I'll do.
You can blog once a week, I'll put you in your own little box with the homepage, - with the guestbians.
- Why not with the guestbians? Because it's a lesbian site, Max.
And I just don't want to get bombarded with a bunch of dykes, you know, flipping out about this transgender thing.
You can't segregate trans people out of the lesbian community.
I mean No, I'm not saying that, you know, lesbians and transgenders can't share the same space.
I'm just saying Good afternoon, m'am.
We're looking for an Alice Pieszecki.
I gotta go.
I'm Alice Pieszecki.
I'm Major Dorell, this is Lieutenant Finarti.
We'd like to talk to you for a few minutes.
Did something happen to Tasha? - You're a friend of Captain Williams? - Yeah.
Could we talk inside for a minute? It'll just take a few minutes.
Yeah.
Sure.
Why are you here? What's this about? We just want to ask you a few questions, M'am.
It's not What's your relationship with Captain Williams? We're friends.
You didn't answer my question.
What's "Velvetpark"? It's a magazine.
Did you wanna answer my question? "Dyke culture in bloom"? "Gay L.
A.
".
SheBar, you're going, Fin? Uh, no.
- I assume you - You know what? You don't have a search warrant, so - I'd like you to leave.
- Oh, don't worry, Miss Pieszecki.
I can call you "Miss", right? You're not married or anything.
So what is this? Nothing.
Just Wait a minute.
I know what it is.
It's like of a low tech version of what you have on your lesbian website.
- Is Captain Williams on it? - No.
Who is "T"? Someone who didn't want her name on it? You should go.
Now.
I think you should go.
Come on, Darell.
Well, thanks for your time, M'am.
I hope we didn't disturb you too much.
Oh, fuck! Fuck! And then he put the gun on his head and he pulled the trigger.
- He had a gun? - Turned out to be soap stone.
He cut it himself.
But it looked totally 100% real.
It sounds like a very disturbing piece of art.
It wasn't art, Dean Porter.
Everyone in the room was traumatized by it.
You know, sometimes, some people are pretty upset about your work.
Sometimes that's what art seeks to do.
Standing in front of a class and threatening to blow your brain out isn't what art seeks to do.
It was self-inflicted terrorrism.
I'm gonna look into it.
Don't blow me off, Dean Porter.
I'm not blowing you off, Lani.
I'm just gonna gather some more information.
Then talk to Justin, and Professor Lerner.
Now, I understand how upset you are, but I also know that, if it had been your project that has caused such controversy, you would have wanted to fair hearing.
Are you gonna be okay? I don't know.
I think you are.
And I'm here if you want to talk to anyone.
Jesus! Vipers don't love, Karina.
They poison.
I mean, I still feel your venom cursing through my veins.
- I like her.
- Yeah, she's natural.
It's good.
There is no way that I'm casting Niki Stevens.
She can't act.
Jenny, she's the best actor for the role.
She has star quality, look at her! She looks like she just walked out of Maxim magazine.
- I'm sorry.
Is that a bad thing? - Aaron, - it doesn't look like she's a writer.
- I mean, you're beautiful, you're a writer.
Why can't she play a beautiful writer? 'Cause it looks like the last book she read was ten years ago.
- Are you there? God, it's me Margaret! - Okay, so - what's your choice? - Luchi Santis is my choice.
- That girl is too weird.
- She's the best actor.
- She's too intense.
She's not attractive.
- That's the character.
- Have you read the script, Aaron? - She's not fuckable! Look, Niki has hit behind her.
She's got a huge movie coming.
- So, fucking what?! - So we need hit! To put asses in the seats! Do you have any idea what kind of a risk I'm taking on this film? Look, look at her.
I mean, she completely sold the kiss.
That's really important having an actor that looks like she enjoys kissing other women.
I don't care about that.
Adele, stop writing.
- Get me William on the phone.
- William is in Geneva.
I spoke with William this morning, and he's over the moon with Nikki.
- He saw Niki as the star of our new film.
- He liked her.
And he said he'd rather have her than Nathalie Portman, okay? - So, are we finished? - No, we're not finished.
You got the fuckin' DGA card.
Why don't you direct the whole movie? Yeah, I'll direct the movie.
Why don't you fuckin' pay for the movie? Go fuck yourself.
And you know what? You've a small dick.
We'll make this movie with Nikki Stevens or we won't make that movie! How does she know how big my dick is? I think she'll come around.
Excuse me? Well, you know, she's quitting smocking and so she's just really fragile right now.
But I think it'll be just let her get through her process.
- Who are you? Who is she? - It's Jenny's assistant.
Look, I'm gonna call Nikki Stevens' agent, all right? I'm gonna call her today and have a great relationship with her.
- I'm gonna get going right now.
- Tina, get Schecter on board.
I don't wanna a cranky director.
I want her to love Niki Stevens like it was her own idea.
- Capice? - Capice.
I need these slides by wednesday.
No.
No, the meeting is on friday.
I need a day to go over.
You wanted to see me, Dean Porter? Yeah, I need it by friday.
If it doesn't come by friday, then it's of no service to me or to anyone.
That's right.
Okay, great.
No, that's a good idea.
Alright, thanks.
Wednesday, wednesday.
Bye.
How could you let a student stand in front of your class with a gun pointed to his head? It wasn't a real gun.
Who told you it was a real gun? I know that it was carved out of soap stone, but, apparently it looked very realistic and now, Lani Shipman has been traumatized by it.
- Do you want something else? - No.
I want you to tell me about this idiot who made the gun sculpture.
He's talented.
You're not gonna suspend him for this? No, of course not.
Come on.
You know my position on the freedom of expression, but in this climate What climate is that? - What climate is that? - Yeah.
Columbine, Virginia Tech.
Is there something you want me to do? I want you to be just a little bit more thoughtful sometimes.
I think about my students all the time.
I think about how to support them, and how to change them, and I think about how, um, help them grow as artists.
So, what are we talking about? I know, I know.
I'm sorry.
I know, I know, I know.
I'm not saying that you did anything wrong.
Thank you.
Look, I'm gonna go then.
I'm hungry.
Am I dismissed? I want you to kiss me good night.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
I think I'm gonna be working late tonight.
Maybe tomorrow? If you're lucky.
Are you alone? Did anyone follow you? - What? - Oh god! What are you talking about? Are you okay? No, I'm not okay.
What the fuck are you doing? I'm degayinfying.
Oh god! They got in to get pictures and they didn't even have a warrant.
Maybe they'll come here again.
There'll be no evidence of gay.
You know what? You should keep this somewhere safe.
Wait! When and who ever comes here again? These two military men! Two! Shit! You know, they were fucking nutsy.
They scared me.
- What did they want? - They came in, okay? They're just walking around, looking at things! They tried to get me out of you.
Which I didn't, I swear.
I just said, you know, leave they should leave.
- Shit, I'm so sorry.
- I know.
What was I supposed to do? Oh, I'm so sorry this happened to you.
I didn't tell those fuckers a thing they could use against you, okay? Not a thing.
Hey, you've heard from Helena? Well, she told me to tell everyone not to worry about her.
Well, she must have a hidden treasure somewhere.
Nah, I don't think so.
Maybe she's with Dusty, I don't know.
She wouldn't tell me.
- I just hope she'll be safe.
- She's gonna be fine.
Are you sure this is gonna keep me awake? Yeah, it's chocolate.
It is good for you.
You've got this big appetite these days.
I know.
I'm trying to trade food for sex.
Amen to that! - So, what are you playing? - I'm playing Lara Croft: Legend.
- Oh, she's a hottie.
- That is not why I'm playing this game, Kit.
- I'm not! - Look how fast your thumbs are going.
I don't know actually how I'm doing this at all.
- "Danger" by Betty Everett - What's the matter with you? Are you okay? Earth to Shane.
What? - What? - Are you okay? I'm fine, I'm good.
Can I Can I get that to go? Why the fuck didn't you tell me that they were gonna send their dogs on my friend's house? Keep your voice down, and tell me what happened.
You're supposed to be my lawyer! You're supposed to be on top of this! You are crossing a line right now, you realize it? I realize you don't give a damn about me but you had an obligation to tell me that my friend's privacy and her home would be invaded! - It's not the matter.
They don't always.
- Yeah, but you knew that they might - and you didn't tell me! - Who'd they talk to? Alice! They went to her appartment and they interrogated her.
She's an innocent civilian, Beech.
Well, she's part of their case because of your alleged relationship with her.
Are you on their side? - I'm representing you in this.
- Are you on their fucking side?! Are you just gonna stand back and let them rip apart my fucking career and destroy my fucking life?! - Curtis, what's going on? - It's okay.
- Henry is sleeping.
- Go to bed.
It's okay.
Excuse me, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to bust into your house like this without any warning.
You're not any part of this; you're not even in the service.
And it was wrong of me to disrupt your home and your family, and to probably frighten and confuse you.
I hope I didn't wake your son.
Please forgive me.
Please, go with me.
Please It's not worth for me.
Why don't you just go to the party on your own? The whole point of going to the party is going with you.
It's the whole point! It's gonna be Hollywood under cover.
There'll be really tight security, and there'll be like top-secret and you know? And we get to be out together, like out of the house, really together.
Please - Please do it for me.
- It makes me uncomfortable.
Oh god! I'm so bored with you in this No! Away! Fine! We'll stay in our room in private, but Oh come on! No, seriously, Alice, you've been talking about this party all week.
- Yes, I have! - I don't want you to stop living your life.
Just go.
Hello, Tasha! Living my life would be living it with you.
Have you ever heard that? Come on, what's the point of going to a secret love party without my secret love? Please, please Say yes.
Are you positive that it's safe? - Yes.
It's famous clositive people.
- Yeah? I think it'll be fine.
You've got nothing on them.
- Careful.
- Come on.
I feel like you wanna go.
Say yes.
Is it me? Is it 'cause I'm too - loud and - No, no, no.
There's nothing wrong with who you are.
I definitely don't want you to feel like because you're with me, that your life is on trial.
Yeah, it's just really important to me that - What? - Let's just say Wait, wait, wait here.
Who is it? I'm looking for Tasha Williams.
She's not here.
My name's Captain Curtis Beech, I'm her attorney.
- It's fine.
- Well she's What do you want? You must be Alice Piezecki.
Yeah, that's who she is.
It's almost to show why you should be retained which means we're gonna have to collect testimonies and recommendations.
You really think your CO's supporting this? Major Dixon likes me.
I know he didn't want to pursue that allegation.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
So, do you think we stand a chance? I don't know.
We're gonna do our best.
Going amount defense, we're not going to step back.
Well, Tasha's the best soldier that I know, Sir.
I'm the only soldier that she knows.
You don't have to call me Sir, Alice.
Oh, I kinda like it.
Sir, will you thank your wife for me? Oh, why? Well, Tasha told me what happened last night, and I have this theory that behind any man who does the right thing, there is always a woman who got him to that point.
Well, my wife was disgusted when I told her what happened - you girls yesterday.
- Us girls.
Okay, I'm gonna get some sugar.
I forgot the sugar.
I guess I should have said "Women, huh".
Yeah.
She's quite some.

Smart, pretty and funny.

- Why? Why? Because I love you and I wanna hang out with you tonight.
Yeah.
And wear that dress.
Why are you looking et me like that? Stop leering.
Shane, you need to get laid.
I only recommand one gun for women for home defense.
A Smith and Weston 357 magmum revolver.
You wanna feel? It's easy to use.
Name is good, triggers pull quickly and depending on the type of bullet, the recoil is low.
I just want something to scare somebody.
You pull out a gun, you need to be prepared to use it.
You wanna be able to protect yourself.
Well, I'll just keep it without bullets.
You can't fire a gun without bullets.
And you load it by opening up the cylinder, like this, just drop the bullets in, close up the cylinder, and pull the trigger.
Easy.
I mean, that's a gun for you.
Can I help you? Yeah.
Aunt Sally's here.
Aunt Sally? Are you serious? This is great.

She's right behind me.
Do you see her? Is she looking this way? Yeah, I do.
You hooked up with her? Yeah, I know.

But, you know, I said "Fire me" if they won't let me do it.
- You did? - Yeah, I mean, all they want me to do are these stupid Michael Bay films.
I mean, I actually got offered to play Nicholas Cage's girlfriend, and he's like what 50 or something? So Niki, what's the deal? You wanna be in my movie? More than anything.
I have never wanted to be in something so badly - in my entire life.
- Why? Because it's It's my life.
I mean, okay, it's not actually my life, obviously, but Have you ever just read something that's just so true? I mean, the first time that I ever fell for a girl it was just it was so intense and she completely broke my heart.
And as I was reading through your script, I just, I just kept thinking that I have done those things and I have felt these feelings, and this character, this, it's me, Jenny.
It is me.
I don't know, it, it mea It means something, you know, that you're saying all those things.
But I don't give a fuck that you're gay.
- It's not gonna get you the job.
- I know.
You wanted Nathalie Portman.
She's amazing.
Yeah, she is.
But she doesn't want to do it.
Look, I know that I nailed at that audition, and I know, look, I know that everyone in that room was completely into me.
Except for you.
Jenny, I mean I get it.
Alright? I know what I look like and I know why guys like me and all that fucking Hollywood bullshit.
But, Jenny, there is more in me than that and I need to prove that there is and that I can do this.
I will give you everything that I have inside of me for this role.
Look, my agents already told me that the studio's going to make you hire me no matter what.
Is that what they said? Yeah.
But I don't want that, Jenny.
I want you to want me.
I mean, you are the director.
And I would be the Jessie of your dreams, Jenny.
I promise you.
- "Get Physical" by Margaret Berger - - Hey, hey, you're not leaving, are you? - Yeah, yeah, I think it's time I should go.
No, no, no.
You're Shane, right? - Yeah.
- Yeah, Shane, come here.
We want you to be a regular.
We heard a lot about you.
Oh, I don't know.
Oh, what's the matter? Don't you like girls? No, I don't like the drama that goes with them.
Oh yeah, well.
This species is full of drama.
Hey girls.
The hot girls always seem to bring the drama.
I'm sorry.
Welcome to the VIP room.
Everybody out.
Out! Let's go, let's go.
Not you, baby.
- Hey, how are you doing? - I'm good.
I'm glad you stayed.
Yeah, well I didn't have much of a choice.
Guess what we were just talking about, baby? What? Girls and drama.
Girls in L.
A.
love their drama, don't they? I think girls everywhere love their little drama.
We took care of that problem a long time ago, didn't we, baby? We sure did.
Well, - you two are lucky.
- Yeah.
Yeah, we're lucky.
And we're completely honest.
We don't cheat and we don't believe in jealousy and we put our own line and, whatever we do, we do together.
Right, baby? - "Hot Sahara" by Fans of Jimmy Century - - - Yeah, I know.
- You can tell.
- Yeah.
No drama.
I am so over the SheBar.
I'm outta here.
Me too.
Ready? I promised Shane that that I wouldn't leave without her.
So, - I'm just gonna go over.
- Okay.
Do you want me to wait? No, it's fine.
I mean, I have to pick up Angie first thing tomorrow morning anyway.
I totally forgot! - "Dream" by Alice Smith - What are you doing here all by yourself? I don't know.
What are you doing here? I was just looking for Shane.
She disappeared and I promised her I wouldn't leave without her.
So I'm hiding.
- What? - I'm hiding from Brenda.
She's nice and everything, but, oh my god, she's fucking crazy.
I can't keep up with her.
I don't know where she is.
Somewhere out there dancing.
But I thought you two were so into each other.
We were just having fun.
This is is so not my scene.
Just, bars.
I know.
It's just You're lucky.
You are really lucky that you have Jodi.
Yeah.
I really am.
Rolling.
Jorinda Garber, reading for the part of Jessie.
Jessie, I'm in love with you.
Vipers don't love, Karina.
They poison.
I still feel your venom cursing through my veins.
You used me as a pon in your twisted relationship.
How many girls have you and Frances destroyed to tell your sordid stories to each other as a foul play? - You don't understand.
- I understand.
I understand enough to know that I despise you.
You're the only that I've ever felt this way about.
Liar! Fucking liar! Liar! You're a fucking liar! No, Karina, I absolutely I hate you so much, Karina.
I absolutely hate you.
I really I can't! I Really, I love you.
I love you, I love you.
Cut! This was great, Niki.
How many girls have you and Frances fucked in order to tell sordid stories to each other, part of some fucking foul play! You're really fucked up, you know that? That was awesome! That was totally amazing.
I loved it.
- Good job! - Alright, Kit.
Switch up for a second.
I want to show you.
When you drop down on your two legs, Use your fallforce.
- I don't wanna go to SheBar.
- Why? 'Cause I'm not interested in L.
A.
's first super-hot, girls-only club, - straight out of Miami.
- It'll be fun.
- No, it's gonna be boring.
- I heard they sank a lot of money into it.
Are you gonna go, Shane? - I don't know.
I haven't decided yet.
- Oh, come on! When's the last time you missed a club opening? - It's gonna be torture for her.
- I never said that.
I just said I haven't decided yet, - and that's all.
- How could you not be going, Alice? Oh, 'cause Tasha can't be out at a lezzy bar, and I got invited to a Barry Bird party, with a guest.
The entertainment lawyer? You know, he's famous for those velvet, like mafia underground type parties for all the closet in Hollywood homos.
And it's fascinating, because, before you go to a party, you have to sign an anonymous closure form.
It's crazy.
- Alright.
- Nice work! Everyone gets a partner and some pads.
We're gonna learn how to face each other and go over some punching technics.
Why don't you wanna go? I've never been to one of the L.
A.
lesbian clubs before except for the Planet on thursday nights.
That's my point.
I just, I don't wanna go to a bar that's, you know, in direct competition with my sister.
But it's not a competition.
I mean, there's enough room for everybody and besides, it's so important to support women's businesses.
It's just like it's so important that you guys are here supporting me today! We're here because we love you.
And because we were so freaked out about the robbery.
Alright everyone.
Okay, right foot back, left foot forward.
Left hands up, okay? Protect your face.
When you are ready, you're gonna scream and defend, "No!".
- You're okay? You're okay? - Yeah.
Here we go! Who owns the SheBar anyway, you guys? It's those girls from Miami, you know, they're a couple.
Dawn Denbo, Cindy something-or-other.
They're, like, infamous party girls.
Hey, Shane.
Don't you think she's hot? The trainer? She's got the abs, she's got the ass No, I don't.
- "No", right, no? - Okay! So, I think that the bar, it's gonna be crazy, 'cause all the lesbians in Hollywood wanna be in the movie.
I won't worry about it too much, Jenny.
Fuck off! My agents are like, you should wear a tee-shirt that says: "Sorry, Nathalie Portman has the job".
Natalie passed.
We're going with Niki Stevens.
No, you're not! - Why didn't you tell me? - It happened late last night.
Let's switch up, switch up, okay? Other persons have the pads.
Tina, are you gonna go to SheBar? Yeah, I think so.
I thought you're gonna meet Brenda there? Who's Brenda? Just this girl I went out with last week.
She's a heart surgeon, she's hot, talks dirty in bed.
Dirty talking? Nice.
You slept with her on the first date? Yeah, I did, actually.
Now you're gonna go to SheBar with her? I don't know; she's going anyway.
I just thought I'd meet her there, since we're both going.
She's hot.
I like her.
- What the fuck, Bette?! - I'm sorry.
I'm just playing.
Alright everyone, let's stop with the pads training.
- Shane? - Yeah? Can I use you for a second? Yeah.
Teacher's going.
Someone's in trouble.
Pads over.
Alright.
Just wanna use you for a demo over here.
Come on, over.
Behind me.
Tight and closed.
All the way in, all the way in.
I don't know, I think we should sign Angelica up for self-defence class.
Let's just wait til she gets out of the stroller first.
Grab the wrist, twist over, punching into the nose, - knee into the groin.
- Summer, what if this motherfucker has a gun? If they have a gun, you do what they say.
Okay? But if you have a chance to run, you do it.
Run to safety.
Let's partners up and try this, okay? You've gotta learn these skills.
Okay.
One person behind, the other person's gonna come here front.
You're holding her nice and tight.
Okay? Grip, grip.
Nice and tight, okay? Behind, nice and tight.
Grip her.
You're the attacker.
I'm sure you can hold tighter than that.
Ok, persons in front, what they're gonna do - is - I think Summer likes you.
Would you please shut the fucking up? - God, frickin' mouth.
- Has anyone seen Shane's vagina? - 'Cause I think she dropped it somewhere.
- Okay, one, two, three, scream "No!".
You have 17 messages already.
Oh, that's nothing.
I mean, Alice gets, like, What are they saying? What? Nothing.
Just some ignorant jerk.
Read it to me.
"This is a lesbian space.
I don't really need to know that Max Sweeney thinks of his large click as a big dick and his freaked girlfriend likes to squeeze his tits and that's why he didn't get top surgery".
I guess that's why we post in here, right? To educate people like that, right? Whatever.
- Hey, Alice.
- Max, you invaded my space to put out your own agenda, and it wasn't cool at all.
But, here's what I'll do.
You can blog once a week, I'll put you in your own little box with the homepage, - with the guestbians.
- Why not with the guestbians? Because it's a lesbian site, Max.
And I just don't want to get bombarded with a bunch of dykes, you know, flipping out about this transgender thing.
You can't segregate trans people out of the lesbian community.
I mean No, I'm not saying that, you know, lesbians and transgenders can't share the same space.
I'm just saying Good afternoon, m'am.
We're looking for an Alice Pieszecki.
I gotta go.
I'm Alice Pieszecki.
I'm Major Dorell, this is Lieutenant Finarti.
We'd like to talk to you for a few minutes.
Did something happen to Tasha? - You're a friend of Captain Williams? - Yeah.
Could we talk inside for a minute? It'll just take a few minutes.
Yeah.
Sure.
Why are you here? What's this about? We just want to ask you a few questions, M'am.
It's not What's your relationship with Captain Williams? We're friends.
You didn't answer my question.
What's "Velvetpark"? It's a magazine.
Did you wanna answer my question? "Dyke culture in bloom"? "Gay L.
A.
".
SheBar, you're going, Fin? Uh, no.
- I assume you - You know what? You don't have a search warrant, so - I'd like you to leave.
- Oh, don't worry, Miss Pieszecki.
I can call you "Miss", right? You're not married or anything.
So what is this? Nothing.
Just Wait a minute.
I know what it is.
It's like of a low tech version of what you have on your lesbian website.
- Is Captain Williams on it? - No.
Who is "T"? Someone who didn't want her name on it? You should go.
Now.
I think you should go.
Come on, Darell.
Well, thanks for your time, M'am.
I hope we didn't disturb you too much.
Oh, fuck! Fuck! And then he put the gun on his head and he pulled the trigger.
- He had a gun? - Turned out to be soap stone.
He cut it himself.
But it looked totally 100% real.
It sounds like a very disturbing piece of art.
It wasn't art, Dean Porter.
Everyone in the room was traumatized by it.
You know, sometimes, some people are pretty upset about your work.
Sometimes that's what art seeks to do.
Standing in front of a class and threatening to blow your brain out isn't what art seeks to do.
It was self-inflicted terrorrism.
I'm gonna look into it.
Don't blow me off, Dean Porter.
I'm not blowing you off, Lani.
I'm just gonna gather some more information.
Then talk to Justin, and Professor Lerner.
Now, I understand how upset you are, but I also know that, if it had been your project that has caused such controversy, you would have wanted to fair hearing.
Are you gonna be okay? I don't know.
I think you are.
And I'm here if you want to talk to anyone.
Jesus! Vipers don't love, Karina.
They poison.
I mean, I still feel your venom cursing through my veins.
- I like her.
- Yeah, she's natural.
It's good.
There is no way that I'm casting Niki Stevens.
She can't act.
Jenny, she's the best actor for the role.
She has star quality, look at her! She looks like she just walked out of Maxim magazine.
- I'm sorry.
Is that a bad thing? - Aaron, - it doesn't look like she's a writer.
- I mean, you're beautiful, you're a writer.
Why can't she play a beautiful writer? 'Cause it looks like the last book she read was ten years ago.
- Are you there? God, it's me Margaret! - Okay, so - what's your choice? - Luchi Santis is my choice.
- That girl is too weird.
- She's the best actor.
- She's too intense.
She's not attractive.
- That's the character.
- Have you read the script, Aaron? - She's not fuckable! Look, Niki has hit behind her.
She's got a huge movie coming.
- So, fucking what?! - So we need hit! To put asses in the seats! Do you have any idea what kind of a risk I'm taking on this film? Look, look at her.
I mean, she completely sold the kiss.
That's really important having an actor that looks like she enjoys kissing other women.
I don't care about that.
Adele, stop writing.
- Get me William on the phone.
- William is in Geneva.
I spoke with William this morning, and he's over the moon with Nikki.
- He saw Niki as the star of our new film.
- He liked her.
And he said he'd rather have her than Nathalie Portman, okay? - So, are we finished? - No, we're not finished.
You got the fuckin' DGA card.
Why don't you direct the whole movie? Yeah, I'll direct the movie.
Why don't you fuckin' pay for the movie? Go fuck yourself.
And you know what? You've a small dick.
We'll make this movie with Nikki Stevens or we won't make that movie! How does she know how big my dick is? I think she'll come around.
Excuse me? Well, you know, she's quitting smocking and so she's just really fragile right now.
But I think it'll be just let her get through her process.
- Who are you? Who is she? - It's Jenny's assistant.
Look, I'm gonna call Nikki Stevens' agent, all right? I'm gonna call her today and have a great relationship with her.
- I'm gonna get going right now.
- Tina, get Schecter on board.
I don't wanna a cranky director.
I want her to love Niki Stevens like it was her own idea.
- Capice? - Capice.
I need these slides by wednesday.
No.
No, the meeting is on friday.
I need a day to go over.
You wanted to see me, Dean Porter? Yeah, I need it by friday.
If it doesn't come by friday, then it's of no service to me or to anyone.
That's right.
Okay, great.
No, that's a good idea.
Alright, thanks.
Wednesday, wednesday.
Bye.
How could you let a student stand in front of your class with a gun pointed to his head? It wasn't a real gun.
Who told you it was a real gun? I know that it was carved out of soap stone, but, apparently it looked very realistic and now, Lani Shipman has been traumatized by it.
- Do you want something else? - No.
I want you to tell me about this idiot who made the gun sculpture.
He's talented.
You're not gonna suspend him for this? No, of course not.
Come on.
You know my position on the freedom of expression, but in this climate What climate is that? - What climate is that? - Yeah.
Columbine, Virginia Tech.
Is there something you want me to do? I want you to be just a little bit more thoughtful sometimes.
I think about my students all the time.
I think about how to support them, and how to change them, and I think about how, um, help them grow as artists.
So, what are we talking about? I know, I know.
I'm sorry.
I know, I know, I know.
I'm not saying that you did anything wrong.
Thank you.
Look, I'm gonna go then.
I'm hungry.
Am I dismissed? I want you to kiss me good night.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
I think I'm gonna be working late tonight.
Maybe tomorrow? If you're lucky.
Are you alone? Did anyone follow you? - What? - Oh god! What are you talking about? Are you okay? No, I'm not okay.
What the fuck are you doing? I'm degayinfying.
Oh god! They got in to get pictures and they didn't even have a warrant.
Maybe they'll come here again.
There'll be no evidence of gay.
You know what? You should keep this somewhere safe.
Wait! When and who ever comes here again? These two military men! Two! Shit! You know, they were fucking nutsy.
They scared me.
- What did they want? - They came in, okay? They're just walking around, looking at things! They tried to get me out of you.
Which I didn't, I swear.
I just said, you know, leave they should leave.
- Shit, I'm so sorry.
- I know.
What was I supposed to do? Oh, I'm so sorry this happened to you.
I didn't tell those fuckers a thing they could use against you, okay? Not a thing.
Hey, you've heard from Helena? Well, she told me to tell everyone not to worry about her.
Well, she must have a hidden treasure somewhere.
Nah, I don't think so.
Maybe she's with Dusty, I don't know.
She wouldn't tell me.
- I just hope she'll be safe.
- She's gonna be fine.
Are you sure this is gonna keep me awake? Yeah, it's chocolate.
It is good for you.
You've got this big appetite these days.
I know.
I'm trying to trade food for sex.
Amen to that! - So, what are you playing? - I'm playing Lara Croft: Legend.
- Oh, she's a hottie.
- That is not why I'm playing this game, Kit.
- I'm not! - Look how fast your thumbs are going.
I don't know actually how I'm doing this at all.
- "Danger" by Betty Everett - What's the matter with you? Are you okay? Earth to Shane.
What? - What? - Are you okay? I'm fine, I'm good.
Can I Can I get that to go? Why the fuck didn't you tell me that they were gonna send their dogs on my friend's house? Keep your voice down, and tell me what happened.
You're supposed to be my lawyer! You're supposed to be on top of this! You are crossing a line right now, you realize it? I realize you don't give a damn about me but you had an obligation to tell me that my friend's privacy and her home would be invaded! - It's not the matter.
They don't always.
- Yeah, but you knew that they might - and you didn't tell me! - Who'd they talk to? Alice! They went to her appartment and they interrogated her.
She's an innocent civilian, Beech.
Well, she's part of their case because of your alleged relationship with her.
Are you on their side? - I'm representing you in this.
- Are you on their fucking side?! Are you just gonna stand back and let them rip apart my fucking career and destroy my fucking life?! - Curtis, what's going on? - It's okay.
- Henry is sleeping.
- Go to bed.
It's okay.
Excuse me, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to bust into your house like this without any warning.
You're not any part of this; you're not even in the service.
And it was wrong of me to disrupt your home and your family, and to probably frighten and confuse you.
I hope I didn't wake your son.
Please forgive me.
Please, go with me.
Please It's not worth for me.
Why don't you just go to the party on your own? The whole point of going to the party is going with you.
It's the whole point! It's gonna be Hollywood under cover.
There'll be really tight security, and there'll be like top-secret and you know? And we get to be out together, like out of the house, really together.
Please - Please do it for me.
- It makes me uncomfortable.
Oh god! I'm so bored with you in this No! Away! Fine! We'll stay in our room in private, but Oh come on! No, seriously, Alice, you've been talking about this party all week.
- Yes, I have! - I don't want you to stop living your life.
Just go.
Hello, Tasha! Living my life would be living it with you.
Have you ever heard that? Come on, what's the point of going to a secret love party without my secret love? Please, please Say yes.
Are you positive that it's safe? - Yes.
It's famous clositive people.
- Yeah? I think it'll be fine.
You've got nothing on them.
- Careful.
- Come on.
I feel like you wanna go.
Say yes.
Is it me? Is it 'cause I'm too - loud and - No, no, no.
There's nothing wrong with who you are.
I definitely don't want you to feel like because you're with me, that your life is on trial.
Yeah, it's just really important to me that - What? - Let's just say Wait, wait, wait here.
Who is it? I'm looking for Tasha Williams.
She's not here.
My name's Captain Curtis Beech, I'm her attorney.
- It's fine.
- Well she's What do you want? You must be Alice Piezecki.
Yeah, that's who she is.
It's almost to show why you should be retained which means we're gonna have to collect testimonies and recommendations.
You really think your CO's supporting this? Major Dixon likes me.
I know he didn't want to pursue that allegation.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
So, do you think we stand a chance? I don't know.
We're gonna do our best.
Going amount defense, we're not going to step back.
Well, Tasha's the best soldier that I know, Sir.
I'm the only soldier that she knows.
You don't have to call me Sir, Alice.
Oh, I kinda like it.
Sir, will you thank your wife for me? Oh, why? Well, Tasha told me what happened last night, and I have this theory that behind any man who does the right thing, there is always a woman who got him to that point.
Well, my wife was disgusted when I told her what happened - you girls yesterday.
- Us girls.
Okay, I'm gonna get some sugar.
I forgot the sugar.
I guess I should have said "Women, huh".
Yeah.
She's quite some.
Yeah.
See your catch, Williams.
Smart, pretty and funny.
- Okay, look.
This? - I hate it.
Adele!! - Where is she? She's never here when - That I love.
- Why? - Because it's see-through.
- No wonderbra.
- No.
- Maybe.
- Adele, I need your opinion.
- Yes? - What do you think of the dress? - Um it's gorgeous.
It's great.
- I don't like that.
- Where is William? - He's in Geneva.
I don't care if he's in Geneva.

Oh, I'm so excited! I love presents so much.
Nobody gives me presents.
- "Bouge" by Vasithy - Oh my god! Look at this! Oh my god! This is so expensive, I could buy a house in Cambodia with this watch.
- He sent you a note.
It's inside it.
- Read it.
"Dear Jennifer, there are many Lez Girls in Geneva, but none as lovely and talented as you.
I'm thrilled about Niki.
She is Jessie.
- William".
- No! He's trying to ruin my fucking movie! You know, I'm just gonna Should I pick you up to drive you to SheBar tonight? - No, I'm not going.
- No, you have to go.

Alright.
Okay, bye.

- Why? - I beg you as a friend as you wat me.
- Why? Why? Because I love you and I wanna hang out with you tonight.
Yeah.
And wear that dress.
Why are you looking et me like that? Stop leering.
Shane, you need to get laid.
I only recommand one gun for women for home defense.
A Smith and Weston 357 magmum revolver.
You wanna feel? It's easy to use.
Name is good, triggers pull quickly and depending on the type of bullet, the recoil is low.
I just want something to scare somebody.
You pull out a gun, you need to be prepared to use it.
You wanna be able to protect yourself.
Well, I'll just keep it without bullets.
You can't fire a gun without bullets.
And you load it by opening up the cylinder, like this, just drop the bullets in, close up the cylinder, and pull the trigger.
Easy.
I mean, that's a gun for you.
Can I help you? Yeah.
Aunt Sally's here.
Aunt Sally? Are you serious? This is great.
Look at that! House of homos, here we come! - "Back It Up" by BETTY - Kit Porter, from the Planet.
