Wow, it looks like you guys are sort of doing, like, a dance.
You won't be able to see my hand.

It might be nice if you look like you're actually giving her pleasure Rather than moving furniture.
Okay.
You know That looks It looks like you're sewing up a hole in her jeans.
Yeah I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing.
Neither do I.
Step away! Move away from her.
Just step away from each other.

What can we do for you? I'd love to talk to you two.
If you don't mind.
My girlfriend and I are listening.

Well, then do you want to grab a table? No.
Okay.
Um I came here to apologize.
I didn't mean any disrespect, Not towards you or to your relationship.
I apologize.
And I'm sorry for the way I treated you When you came into my house.
I was just a little I wasn't me that night.
So I'd like to make peace.
And if there's anything I can do to even the playing field, I Well There's just one thing I can think of.
Okay.
Jenny Schecter.
She's your roommate, right? My best friend and my roommate.
Why? Well Come closer.
I won't bite.
Get her to use SheBar as a location in her big hollywood lesbo movie.
I don't know, Dawn, that's Well, what? You're too small-time, Shane? Just a lil' ol' hairdresser? If I recall, I never said I was big-time to begin with, did I? No.
All right.
I'll ask her.
I can't promise you, but I'll ask her.
You know, you make that happen, We might be talking detente.
Okay.
All right.
- See you.
- Okay.
Oh! Oh There's just, uh, one more thing.
I knew there would be with you.
It has to be called SheBar in the movie.
Not the "Pluto Cafe," Or whatever the stupid thing was called That's supposed to be the planet.
What? SheBar is such a better location.
I can't believe they were going to pay $50,000 a day For that wanna-be "Peach Pit" of a shithole.
You're too much.
I can't do it.
What? What can't you do, Shane? Other than make my girlfriend come? Listen, I didn't realize that's what you wanted.
I can't do it.
Of course that's what we want.
Kit's my friend, man.
You have problems with me, you stay with me, You don't fuck over my friend, And I'm sure not going to fuck 'em over for you.
So pointless.
Now I'm just going to have to put your friend out of business The old-fashioned way.
Is that is that a threat? Are you still talking? Are you still here? Oh, that's another threat.
Done.
It's so on! You're fucked.
- Shane, Shane - What? Call me.
There'all your stuff.
I'll get the suitcase back to you.
Did you want to come in and see if I forgot anything? I trust you.
That's bullshit.
You don't trust me.
I trust you.
We're just not good for each other.
I'm really sorry That I fucked your life up.
I was gay long before I ever met you.
Anyway, um, brown He had it in for me, so I'm sure he would have found something.
So, I heard you got offered some big,what,talk show or something? What is it? The look? Nah, they're just interested.
I still have to audition.
They're looking for a replacement for Kelly Corrigan.
Wow, that's great.
I don't know if I'm going to do it, though, If I want to be, you know, the replacement dyke.
Oh, come on No, you know, because they want me to be out And flamboyant and audacious, And, you know, it's on national television.
I don't know if I want to be gay for the whole world.
This is why we're not good for each other.
Why would you think twice about something like this? It's like a dream come true for you.
You don't know what I dream of.
You're right.
I'm going to go.
Can I come in? Hey.
Kit and Angie, they're not going to be back from Anaheim for a couple of hours.
I came early.
I hope you don't mind.
Yeah, it's fine.
Are you having a dinner party or something? No, it's just for Angie.
I wanted to feed her before you got here.
I told Kit not to let her eat a lot of crap at disneyland.
Yeah, right.
That looks fancy.
What are you making? Ah, it's just Stir-fried chicken and vegetables noodles.
It smells amazing.
Did Jodi teach you how to cook? I hear she's a great cook.
Uh, actually, no.
I taught myself.
I sometimes cook for me and Angie when we're alone.
It makes me feel like we're, you know,like a family.
I enjoy it.
I'll have to cook for you sometime.
Bette Turn around.
Look, I know that you don't want to hurt Jodi No, I don't.

Thank you very much.
So, Jenny, we have one more possibility For Bev and Nina's house.
It's in Kit's.
Well, where in the fuck is she? Well, I don't really care that it's a saturday.
Can you tell her that I'm working on saturday because of her? Yeah, well, I want you to give her a message for me.
Okay? I want you to tell her that it's not going to work.
All right? Vancouver doesn't pass as L.
A.
And I'm not going to shoot here In this waterlogged, provincial little city, And it was a complete waste of my time to come here When I should have been back in L.
A.
Prepping for my first day of shooting on monday, - All right? - If you want Jenny, actually, There's been lots of shows That have shot up here successfully, So if you want to take a look at the location Can you please also tell her That I don't appreciate Her sending her studio-fucking-narc to spy on me and tell me that black is white? Okay? Right.
I'll have you know that I have absolutely nothing to gain By convincing you to shoot in Vancouver.
Good, because I'm not.
And when the studio pulls the plug on your movie Because you're over-budget, I'll have another job tomorrow.
Can you please open up the door? Hey! I don't I want you to know That I do not think that you should be in this industry.

Joyce is here to see you.
Send her right in, please.
Hello, Phyllis.
Joyce.
I know it was presumptuous of me to call you, And I'm not really expecting too much sympathy I was just wondering um Maybe you could give me some advice, make a recommendation I think we hit back with a countersuit.
Leonard needs to know that you're not going to just roll over And gift him with everything you've worked so hard for all these years.
I mean, he's got balls I'll give him that.
And his attorney, Joey Monahan? He's no slouch either.
So, luckily for you, I've got a trick or two of my own.
You want to represent me? Phyllis, you hired me to represent you, And then you fired me so we could make sweet lov And then you broke my heart.
So, the way I seit, You're down a lawyer, I'm down a job.
Joyce, I didn't actually expect you to represent me.
I was hoping for a recommendation, for somebody else Phyllis, I'm the best in the business.
I win cases, it's what I do And I got a bum deal here, So I'm not going to walk away from a sweet piece of business Just because we didn't work out as lovers.
In fact I think you kind of owe me this one.
Oh, good lord.
Can I help you find something? Um yeah, I was you know, I was wondering if you have anything In the lower price ranges? Which range did you have in mind? - Like 25 to 30? - Excuse me? Oh, she's kidding.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Adele, this is Emile, our personal shopper.
This is Adele, my assistant.
- Emile - Shall I? Yes, please start a room.
And you, come here, I want to show you some Chanel.
I don't know Do you like it? Yeah, but what about the fancy shoes? You could wear the shoes on a first date.
It's so expensive! Adele, really, The thing is, we're making a film About fashionable lesbians.
You know, so we have to be fashionable, and Well, we're here doing research.
Wait, this is coming out of the wardrobe budget? Shh.
We should get you some jeans now, because, Um, Adele Adele? The applique on the back of your jeans, Was declared an abomination by the Geneva convention.
We've got to burn them after we buy these.

Okay.
We'll take it.
- Now, Adele - Yeah? You're the only one that knows about Niki ande.
I know, I know,and discretion is imperative.
The only reason I told you is that so you could protect us.
I'll make sure that nobody has the slightest inkling.
Well, yeah, I mean, the thing is, If the other actors knew, It would just cause so much drama And so much jealousy on set, you know? I know.

Wow.
Oh, my gosh! You look beautiful.

Do you like it? I love it.
Thank you.

I don't think you've met her yet, Bette.
And you didn't even go to the party last night, missy.
I was working.
My daughter arrived at the most inopportune time.
I was having fun.
It was harmless.
Now she thinks I'm turning into A promiscuous, debauched lesbian.
And what can we do to help you, Phyllis? I need you to help me convince Molly That lesbians can be Respectable and upstanding and stable All the values her father and I instilled in her.
Uh how? Just let her spend some time with the two of you, together.
I want her to see two women That have a stable, honest and loving relationship.
By the way, we have to do something About this boy who tried to shoot himself in the head.
What? No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no! He did not shoot himself in the head! It wasn't a real gun.
He did not shoot himself.
You propose? Well, I propose that we have a press conference.
I'll make a statement, And Jodi can do some form of a mea culpa.
I don't think it's going to work.
The board is out for blood.
Molly's here to see you.
Please send her in.
Oh.
Sorry, I didn't realize Come on in, Molly! Wee almost finished.
Come on, sit down.

Nice to meet you.
This is Tom, he's Jodi's interpreter.
Hi.
Th're lesbians.
I'm resigning.
What? Justin Donovan's piece Was one of the best student works I've ever seen, And I totally stand behind it.
But I know that, if Bette had known about it in advance, She never would have let me go ahead with it.
That is absolutely not true.
I do not want you to resign.
Well, neither do I.
I love teaching here.
I love my class.
But it sucks that your job is jeopardized Because of something that I'm totally responsible for.
So, I can't live with that.
I'm resigning.
But, remember, I have my work, And, most importantly, I have you, So I'll be fine.
How far behind are we? Oh, only an hour and a half.
Jesus Has Niki stepped down? Oh, great.
Here she comes.
Hi! I'm so excited! This is the first shot of the film.
Okay, so what you're going to do Is we're going to walk up here, You're going to be sniffing the rosemary Where's the, uh, prop person with the, uh The sprig? Okay, so you're going to be sniffing this.
Yeah, I don't know why I'd be holding that.
I mean, it's stupid.
Because, um, Tina gave it to you out back, by the pool, And we just rehearsed it.
Yeah, but who walks around with a plant for no reason? I mean, why would I still be carrying it around? Jenny, we've got to go, we're out of time.
Okay.
Fuck the rosemary.
That's cool.
Okay, here we go! And roll sound, please.
Sound speaker.
Okay.
- "Action.
" - Oh, right! Action! Yeah, well I don't want to write about being a student anymore, you know.
I'm done with that part of my life.
You might change your mind when you get older.
I'm actually thinking about going back to school to start a new areer.
Oh, you should do it.
Maybe in a couple of years.
Right now, I'm trying to get pregnant.
Oh, my god! That's so great.
Hey.
Cut! - That's cut.
- Sorry.
Hey, where's that contin That's that's not the line, okay? The scripted line is, "Jim said that you and Bev were a couple.
" So you're confused how she could have a baby Because she's a lesbian.
Well, that's retarded.
Everybody knows lezzies are having babies all over, Jenny.
Right, but the character In my script Has just arrived to L.
A.
She's from the midwest.
She's naive.
She's never met a lesbian before.
She's never met a lesbian before? What about ellen and portia? I mean, does she not have a tv? Hey, how about you say the scripted line? Oh, come on.
Come on No, no, no.
Don't get upset.
She's an artist.
What You want to go take care of it? Hey! Niki! Hey.
What's going on? Hey.
We hookeup the other night, Jenny.
I know! And now you're just treating me like I'm some random actress, Like you don't even know me.
No! I thought that it was really I thought that it was really amazing.
Did you get the necklace that I gave you? I don't care about some lame-ass necklace.
You didn't even come in to see me this morning.
It's like you don't care about me at all.
No, that's not true.
I didn't come in to see you this morning Because I don't want all these fucking dimwit actors Gossiping about you.
Or gossiping about me.
But you know what I wanted to do when you walked on the set today? I really wanted to kiss you.
Really? Yeah.
Wow.
You're still mad.
I thought that you were angry! What? Come here.
What? I can't believe I'm going to fuck you.
Oh, my god, I'm going to fuck you.
Are you wet? Oh, my god.
Hey.
Hey! You might want to check this out.
Oh, my god.
Oh, fuck! Oh, my god.
Don't come yet! Fuck! - Mr.
Kornbluth! - What? Mr.
Halsey just arrived at base camp.
Oh, that's great.
William's here! I can't wait for him to hear What's happening on the set of his little lesbian movie.
Here you go, mr.
Halsey.
An egg white with white asparagus omelet, Just for you.
Oh, this is so great.
Look at this! That is the prettiest omelet that I've ever seen.
Mr.
Halsey.
- Hi.
- Hey! I'm Adele Channing, Jennifer Schecter's assistant.
Would you like an omelet, Adele? They're making them with the yolk, or without.
Oh, no, thank you.
Thank you, but, no, thank you.
I just uh, Jennifer wanted me to find you, To let you know that there's been a little problem with Niki this morning.
Really? Well, let's go see what's wrong.
The thing is, mr.
Halsey I think I think you should know that Jennifer and Niki are kind of involved with one another.
What do you mean, romantically involved? Um yes.
Yes.
So, the, um Director of the picture Is sleeping with the star? Is that what you're saying? Um.
Yes.
And it's not always a bad thing.
- No? - No.
How is it not a bad thing? You know, in the case of In the case of Niki She's just so young and so fresh and so green - Oh, really? - Well, she is! And, I've got to tell you, She was just really nervous about this role.
And, the thing is, Jennifer knew how much you wanted how much you needed Niki for this role And when she sensed that Niki was about to drop out Well, she made her her lover.
Everything changed after that.
Well, that's interesting.
That's a very interesting approach, Adele.
Yes, I think that it saved the movie.
Well, I'm going to have to really think about that.
Read your contract, Schecter! I can replace you with or without cause! Calm down, Aaron.
Is that your position? No, it's not my position, Jenny.
I just I think it could be difficult for production, - But, no, it's nobody's - William.
William I don't know what you've heard, But I have never in all my days Of being in show business had to put up Wow! There she is! - I've missed ya! - Give your daddy a hug.
He's being so mean to me! Mean? Don't you be mean to my baby! Okay.
That's the watch! I'm wearinit.
That's the watch I got for you! Yeah.
Oh, you are really something else.

Hi! I'm Alice in lesboland, And we're here on location.
It's a very special day.
We're here on the set of Jenny Schecter's new film, Lez Girls.
It's about the lives and the loves Of lesbians in los angeles, And we're going to meet the star of the movie, Niki Stevens.
And, um that's it, lots of girlie action.
Okay.
Good? - Yeah.
- Okay.
I'm all right.
- Yeah.
- You sure? We've got a problem with some of the neighbors.
What kind of problem? Thers a group of neighborhood folks over there threatening to shut down the film.
They say they don't want their neighborhood portrayed as "A hotbed of lesbian sex and salaciousness.
" We have permits.
I'll go handle it.
Well, they say no one talked to them Let's take the limo.
And from what we know about it, None of us want to be associated with this film, okay? It's unrealistic, it exploits Frankly, we're angry at how lesbians are portrayed as conniving, promiscuous sex fiends.
Ladies, I don't know Where any of you got your information from, But just want to tell you guys Jenny, that's Dawn Denbo, She was at our party last week.
- Does she even live in this neighborhood? - I don't know,I doubt it.
She doesn't even live here! She doesn't even live in this neighborhood.
She doesn't.
This is a personal thing.
That doesn't really matter.
We have friends who live in this neighborhood.
It doesn't matter.
You know what? Let me tell you something.
Have you even read the script? - Yes, I've read the script.
- You have.
I've read some scenes, and it sucked! I auditioned for Donna.
I gave her my sides.
So, how much do you think they want? Would 5,000 apiece do it? No! Who is this,your daddy warbucks? What's up with this? No, no, no, we don't No, we're not interested in your money, okay? No, it's the principle of the thing.
No, we're not interested in that.
- No - We'll take it.
Yeah.
Yeah, ladies, If you'll follow, I'll cut you some checks.
Yeah, okay, you know what? Fi.
What's that? $25,000 out of your pocket? Fine.
And you guys'll pay a lot more before it's over.
I got two of those for you.
Fuck you, Denbo! And your dumb lover.
You're a rat fuck! Bye, Cindi! Don't talk to my girlfriend, Shane! Adele, I like your makeover.

I bought them yesterday.
Well, whenever you bought 'em, they look cute.
They do, they look good on you.
Thank you.
So, what are you thinking about? Okay, I'm thinking Just really long and really straight Bangs, coming forward, like this.
And then maybe a couple pieces on the side, here? And a couple pieces on the side, here, All coming forward, so, kind of Straight across and forward here.
Like Jenny's haircut? Really? Oh? I wasn't thinking that it was like Jenny.
Yeah, it is very much like Jenny's If that's what you want.
Well If you think then we don't have to do it,that's okay.
Oh, I'm not saying I know, I just want to make sure that you knew.
So you don't mind having your hairline Be pushed forward a bit? Like, this down? No, that's good.

That's what you want? Okay.

She was so noble.
She was going to take the fall for me.
Oh.
Well, where's she at? She's working, but I think she's going to come over tonight.
Bette, it sucks that she has to resign.
I can't even tell you how fucked up it is.
It's so fucked up.
I mean, Jodi is really the most anti-gun person I've ever met.
Really, for her, the entire piece Was about gun violence.
Well, I was thinking about getting a gun.
No, you're not getting a gun.
Ever since the robbery I want to protect myself, I want to feel safe.
You're not going to feel safe with a gun.
Guns do not make you feel safe! You're not getting a gun.
Ladies, you can't go this way.
- They're making a movie.
- I live in this neighborhood.
And we are friends with the producer.
And the director.
Both! It's okay.
They're with me.

Well, are you here to visit the set? If that's okay.
It's great! Come on.

Oh Or should I say, she's fucking herself? - Oh, hey, how are you? - You got your hair cut? Oh, yeah, Shane did it.
It was her idea.
Do you like it? Seems like it's a pretty popular cut around here.
What do you mean? I mean, it kind of looks like Jenny's hair.
I don't think so.
It looks good.
Looks good on you.
You know those fucking SheBar girls? They came and they tried to shut the production down.
Get the fuck out.
- I'm not kidding.
- Yeah.
You know you know We're going to take 'em down.
That's it.
It's on.
Are you guys with me? Yeah.
I'm always with you.
Seriously.
I am.
I wish Tasha was here.
She'd know what to do.
Then give her a call.
I'm just saying.
Come on.
This is a really big deal.
It's pretty amazing, isn't it? And Jenny's at the helm.
Yup.
Really interesting hair choice on Adele there.
I'm telling you, it was not my choice, But she just insisted upon it.
What? - What? - She told me that That she was uncomfortable with it, and that you encouraged her to do it.
- She said - You did? No! She said that? Yeah, she said she didn't want to do it, You insisted.
Why would she say that? It's freaky, you guys.
You know what? I think it's going to be great.
It's going to be great because you're producing it.
Sandra, can we shoot? - Yeah! - Let's go! * juliet * * I can feel your glow * * of passions *
How'd that happen? We have Adele to thank for that.
Max thinks that there's something really suspicious about you.
I'm letting it be known, Mr.
Brewer, that you're a homo.
What's the difference between you outing him And the military outing me? - Don't get too personal.
- Oh, please.
How do you say "fuck"? And who says that to who? Well, last night she said it to me.
How could you let a student Stand in front of your class With a gun pointed to his head? You want to take all of our life together And just throw it in the toilet.
I don't want to settle down.
Are you already seeing somebody? I told Camilla that I had to talk to you Before we did anything.
Where's Dawn? I hope you don't mind, But I just wanted you all to myself.
It's on, girlfriend.
And your stupid-ass planet? It's done.
It's fucking on.
We we just got caught up in a moment.
It's just not going to happen again.
It must be difficult for you To have your life and relationships examined.
What the fuck can she possibly know about my life? What can she know? Pee, pee, pee pee pee.
You're not going to shoot the pee stream, are you? I might, So just keep on going.
I'm ovulating.
Oh, my god, I'm ovulating! Honey! Bev, come here! Where do I enter from? Um, where your mark is.
How exciting, you're ovulating.
Okay, so then I look at the stick, And I kiss her Yeah.
Okay, I'm fine with all that, um, But then it says that I "f" her against the sink.
I just I'm not really sure what that means.
Really? Okay, well, that's why we're rehearsing, To work out all this stuff.
Can you hold my cup? Sure.
Okay, so this is what I want you to do.
Can I just be you? Okay, so you are going to look at her, And you're going to take her, And you're going to throw her up again the sink bam! And you're going to look Look at her with passion, And then you're don't worry, I won't kiss you You're going to take her, And you're going to kiss her with tongue And then I want you to reach down, And then I want you to finger-fuck her And give her the best fucking orgasm ever.
Go for it.
Oh, you mean with my hand? Yeah.
Unless you have some other apparati that I don't know about.
How exciting, you're ovulating.
I'm ovulating.
Let's make a baby.
Passion! That's okay.
Okay.
Wow, it looks like you guys are sort of doing, like, a dance.
You won't be able to see my hand.
I'd like to.
It might be nice if you look like you're actually giving her pleasure Rather than moving furniture.
Okay.
You know That looks It looks like you're sewing up a hole in her jeans.
Yeah I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing.
Neither do I.
Step away! Move away from her.
Just step away from each other.
Adele, can you, uh, schedule time for me And the other actresses that have sex scenes? You guys really don't know how to fuck women, do you? You guys are going to learn how to fuck.
I'm getting a lesbian sex coach to teach you.
Oh, please.
That would be great.
Shane, Shane, Shane.
What can we do for you? I'd love to talk to you two.
If you don't mind.
My girlfriend and I are listening.
Good.
Well, then do you want to grab a table? No.
Okay.
Um I came here to apologize.
I didn't mean any disrespect, Not towards you or to your relationship.
I apologize.
And I'm sorry for the way I treated you When you came into my house.
I was just a little I wasn't me that night.
So I'd like to make peace.
And if there's anything I can do to even the playing field, I Well There's just one thing I can think of.
Okay.
Jenny Schecter.
She's your roommate, right? My best friend and my roommate.
Why? Well Come closer.
I won't bite.
Get her to use SheBar as a location in her big hollywood lesbo movie.
I don't know, Dawn, that's Well, what? You're too small-time, Shane? Just a lil' ol' hairdresser? If I recall, I never said I was big-time to begin with, did I? No.
All right.
I'll ask her.
I can't promise you, but I'll ask her.
You know, you make that happen, We might be talking detente.
Okay.
All right.
- See you.
- Okay.
Oh! Oh There's just, uh, one more thing.
I knew there would be with you.
It has to be called SheBar in the movie.
Not the "Pluto Cafe," Or whatever the stupid thing was called That's supposed to be the planet.
What? SheBar is such a better location.
I can't believe they were going to pay $50,000 a day For that wanna-be "Peach Pit" of a shithole.
You're too much.
I can't do it.
What? What can't you do, Shane? Other than make my girlfriend come? Listen, I didn't realize that's what you wanted.
I can't do it.
Of course that's what we want.
Kit's my friend, man.
You have problems with me, you stay with me, You don't fuck over my friend, And I'm sure not going to fuck 'em over for you.
So pointless.
Now I'm just going to have to put your friend out of business The old-fashioned way.
Is that is that a threat? Are you still talking? Are you still here? Oh, that's another threat.
Done.
It's so on! You're fucked.
- Shane, Shane - What? Call me.
There'all your stuff.
I'll get the suitcase back to you.
Did you want to come in and see if I forgot anything? I trust you.
That's bullshit.
You don't trust me.
I trust you.
We're just not good for each other.
I'm really sorry That I fucked your life up.
I was gay long before I ever met you.
Anyway, um, brown He had it in for me, so I'm sure he would have found something.
So, I heard you got offered some big,what,talk show or something? What is it? The look? Nah, they're just interested.
I still have to audition.
They're looking for a replacement for Kelly Corrigan.
Wow, that's great.
I don't know if I'm going to do it, though, If I want to be, you know, the replacement dyke.
Oh, come on No, you know, because they want me to be out And flamboyant and audacious, And, you know, it's on national television.
I don't know if I want to be gay for the whole world.
This is why we're not good for each other.
Why would you think twice about something like this? It's like a dream come true for you.
You don't know what I dream of.
You're right.
I'm going to go.
Can I come in? Hey.
Kit and Angie, they're not going to be back from Anaheim for a couple of hours.
I came early.
I hope you don't mind.
Yeah, it's fine.
Are you having a dinner party or something? No, it's just for Angie.
I wanted to feed her before you got here.
I told Kit not to let her eat a lot of crap at disneyland.
Yeah, right.
That looks fancy.
What are you making? Ah, it's just Stir-fried chicken and vegetables noodles.
It smells amazing.
Did Jodi teach you how to cook? I hear she's a great cook.
Uh, actually, no.
I taught myself.
I sometimes cook for me and Angie when we're alone.
It makes me feel like we're, you know,like a family.
I enjoy it.
I'll have to cook for you sometime.
Bette Turn around.
Look, I know that you don't want to hurt Jodi No, I don't.
- What are we doing? - Shh.
Oh, wait.

Can you tell her that I'm working on saturday because of her? Yeah, well, I want you to give her a message for me.
Okay? I want you to tell her that it's not going to work.
All right? Vancouver doesn't pass as L.
A.
And I'm not going to shoot here In this waterlogged, provincial little city, And it was a complete waste of my time to come here When I should have been back in L.
A.
Prepping for my first day of shooting on monday, - All right? - If you want Jenny, actually, There's been lots of shows That have shot up here successfully, So if you want to take a look at the location Can you please also tell her That I don't appreciate Her sending her studio-fucking-narc to spy on me and tell me that black is white? Okay? Right.

Joyce is here to see you.
Send her right in, please.
Hello, Phyllis.
Joyce.
I know it was presumptuous of me to call you, And I'm not really expecting too much sympathy I was just wondering um Maybe you could give me some advice, make a recommendation I think we hit back with a countersuit.
Leonard needs to know that you're not going to just roll over And gift him with everything you've worked so hard for all these years.
I mean, he's got balls I'll give him that.
And his attorney, Joey Monahan? He's no slouch either.
So, luckily for you, I've got a trick or two of my own.
You want to represent me? Phyllis, you hired me to represent you, And then you fired me so we could make sweet lov And then you broke my heart.
So, the way I seit, You're down a lawyer, I'm down a job.
Joyce, I didn't actually expect you to represent me.
I was hoping for a recommendation, for somebody else Phyllis, I'm the best in the business.
I win cases, it's what I do And I got a bum deal here, So I'm not going to walk away from a sweet piece of business Just because we didn't work out as lovers.
In fact I think you kind of owe me this one.
Oh, good lord.
Can I help you find something? Um yeah, I was you know, I was wondering if you have anything In the lower price ranges? Which range did you have in mind? - Like 25 to 30? - Excuse me? Oh, she's kidding.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Adele, this is Emile, our personal shopper.
This is Adele, my assistant.
- Emile - Shall I? Yes, please start a room.
And you, come here, I want to show you some Chanel.
I don't know Do you like it? Yeah, but what about the fancy shoes? You could wear the shoes on a first date.
It's so expensive! Adele, really, The thing is, we're making a film About fashionable lesbians.
You know, so we have to be fashionable, and Well, we're here doing research.
Wait, this is coming out of the wardrobe budget? Shh.
We should get you some jeans now, because, Um, Adele Adele? The applique on the back of your jeans, Was declared an abomination by the Geneva convention.
We've got to burn them after we buy these.

You know,just a little a little gift for the start of the production.
Okay.
We'll take it.
- Now, Adele - Yeah? You're the only one that knows about Niki ande.
I know, I know,and discretion is imperative.
The only reason I told you is that so you could protect us.
I'll make sure that nobody has the slightest inkling.
Well, yeah, I mean, the thing is, If the other actors knew, It would just cause so much drama And so much jealousy on set, you know? I know.

Wow.
Oh, my gosh! You look beautiful.
Thanks.
Do you like it? I love it.
Thank you.

That is absolutely not true.
I do not want you to resign.
Well, neither do I.

Because, um, Tina gave it to you out back, by the pool, And we just rehearsed it.
Yeah, but who walks around with a plant for no reason? I mean, why would I still be carrying it around? Jenny, we've got to go, we're out of time.

A.
She's from the midwest.

No! I thought that it was really I thought that it was really amazing.
Did you get the necklace that I gave you? I don't care about some lame-ass necklace.
You didn't even come in to see me this morning.
It's like you don't care about me at all.
No, that's not true.
I didn't come in to see you this morning Because I don't want all these fucking dimwit actors Gossiping about you.
Or gossiping about me.
But you know what I wanted to do when you walked on the set today? I really wanted to kiss you.
Really? Yeah.
Wow.
You're still mad.

- Hey! I'm Adele Channing, Jennifer Schecter's assistant.
Would you like an omelet, Adele? They're making them with the yolk, or without.
Oh, no, thank you.
Thank you, but, no, thank you.
I just uh, Jennifer wanted me to find you, To let you know that there's been a little problem with Niki this morning.
Really? Well, let's go see what's wrong.
The thing is, mr.
Halsey I think I think you should know that Jennifer and Niki are kind of involved with one another.
What do you mean, romantically involved? Um yes.
Yes.
So, the, um Director of the picture Is sleeping with the star? Is that what you're saying? Um.
Yes.
And it's not always a bad thing.
- No? - No.
How is it not a bad thing? You know, in the case of In the case of Niki She's just so young and so fresh and so green - Oh, really? - Well, she is! And, I've got to tell you, She was just really nervous about this role.
And, the thing is, Jennifer knew how much you wanted how much you needed Niki for this role And when she sensed that Niki was about to drop out Well, she made her her lover.
Everything changed after that.
Well, that's interesting.
That's a very interesting approach, Adele.
Yes, I think that it saved the movie.
Well, I'm going to have to really think about that.
Read your contract, Schecter! I can replace you with or without cause! Calm down, Aaron.
Is that your position? No, it's not my position, Jenny.
I just I think it could be difficult for production, - But, no, it's nobody's - William.
William I don't know what you've heard, But I have never in all my days Of being in show business had to put up Wow! There she is! - I've missed ya! - Give your daddy a hug.
He's being so mean to me! Mean? Don't you be mean to my baby! Okay.

That's the watch I got for you! Yeah.
Oh, you are really something else.
That little Niki Stevens.
Her movie hasn't even opened yet, And already she's out of control Well, she's a bit fragile.

They say they don't want their neighborhood portrayed as "A hotbed of lesbian sex and salaciousness.
" We have permits.
I'll go handle it.
Well, they say no one talked to them Let's take the limo.
And from what we know about it, None of us want to be associated with this film, okay? It's unrealistic, it exploits Frankly, we're angry at how lesbians are portrayed as conniving, promiscuous sex fiends.

Really, for her, the entire piece Was about gun violence.
Well, I was thinking about getting a gun.
No, you're not getting a gun.
Ever since the robbery I want to protect myself, I want to feel safe.
You're not going to feel safe with a gun.
