All language subtitles for The L Word (2004) S04E08 Lexington and Concord.en

So you drove all the way from
L.A. to Los Alamitos,

talked your way onto a military base
to tell me you really like me.

I wanted you to know
that you're not a portal to me.

Loving Shay and caring for him

has been the most amazing
and important thing I've ever done.

Since we already did the time,

we might as well do the crime.

She's not going to sleep with this woman
just to pay off a gambling debt.

I'm giving you another chance.
We're going to play strip gin rummy.

If you win, I'll consider
your debt paid in full.

It's a pleasure doing
business with you, Catherine.

Congratulations. You're a free woman.

- Movies reach a huge audience.
- Maybe it could be a really good movie.

We're going to make a great team.

Shaolin is committed to
the integrity of this project.

Did you know that I'm an ex-drunk?

I served you dinner
with lemon-flavored Pellegrino.

It's about Kit. Angus is cheating on her.

And I want you to know that I would have
fired Hazel if he hadn't have ended it.

Oh, Sounder.

Am I going to rot in hell?

I hear you're buying the rights
to Jenny's New Yorker piece.

- It's such a nightmare.
- Really? Why are you doing it, then?

It's the hottest property in town.
Everyone wants it.

That's what I hate
about the movie business.

Well, she's not very kind to you.

I have to kiss her ass

because every studio in town
is blowing smoke up it,

and all I really want to do
is wring her neck.

And that character, Nina...

- Is that really what people think of me?
- No. Tina...

Come on, Jenny's a fiction writer.

I mean, her story is funny,
and it's over the top.

That's why people are loving it.

- You've said some of those things.
- In pain and anger.

I mean, I know our relationship was real.

I know you loved me, and it wasn't
just some trivial experiment to you.

I still love you, you know.

I love you, too.

It's so hard, Bette.

I miss you so much sometimes.

I miss our life.

I miss the way we communicated subtly.

I miss the way that we worked together
to make everything around us so beautiful.

I miss being surrounded by women,

and feeling part of something
so secret and special.

Come here.

Sometimes I think I made a mistake.

You don't have to think about it that way.

Jodi.

Tina, this is Jodi Lerner. This is Tina.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.

Hi.

I'm going to get the diaper bag.

You're teaching her to sign.

I haven't even done anything.

She just started doing it on her own.

Baby learn quick.

Sign language is easy for them.

You must be spending a lot of time here.

- I don't want to miss much.
- Didn't you pause it?

We don't have that on this TV.

- You don't have TiVo?
- No, we don't have TiVo.

He also doesn't have his own room.
I'm a terrible person.

Hey!

Hey, Bette!

So, anyway, all I was saying is that you're
not the first woman I've ever been with.

You're not the first
straight girl I've been with.

Straight girl?

Oh, I'm sorry. Should I be calling you
something different?

Well, I'd rather not be called anything.
I'm sexually fluid.

Well, you still haven't been with a girl.

I mean, you haven't had
a relationship with one.

- What's your point?
- Well, I just...

I don't want you to think
it would be any better.

I do think it would be better.

I mean, I find men physically attractive
but emotionally retarded.

Well, girls are the same way.

- But less so.
- Oh, please.

Who are you kidding? They're worse.

I know you have
this mythology about yourself,

but I've watched you with Shay.

You're not emotionally retarded.

It's different with him.

Well, it speaks volumes.

Look, I don't want you to think

that I'm expecting you to jump
into a relationship with me.

Okay.

- I'll give you, like, a week or two.
- Oh, Christ...

Oh, God, you are a dyke.
I was totally wrong.

You're more of one than I am.

- Jesus.
- Watch out.

My girl is hot. You like it?

Sure.

Well, if you want to change something,

I can get the guy to work on it
if you're not happy.

No, no point in changing anything now.
What's done is done.

- Well, okay. As long as you're happy.
- I didn't say that.

Hey, what's up, Papi?

- What's up, gorgeous?
- So, what you doing?

- I'm just psyched about tonight.
- Are you coming to the party tonight?

Hell, yeah. And my girl Tasha?

Her mom's, like, your biggest fan.

Oh, that's...

Why don't they bring her on down, too?

Oh, she lives in Virginia,
but I'm going to buy her a CD.

And I'm going to try and get me
some of that fierce Kitty, too.

Well, tonight might be your lucky night.

- Bring it on, girl.
- I'm going to go pick up that guitar.

Do you need anything?

No.

Just for you to be singing with me
on stage tonight.

That's all.

You know, somebody stole
his guitar from my office.

- Oh.
- Fucking bummer, right?

Yeah, fucking bummer, dude.

Rock on, sisters.

Are you going to tell me
when you're ready to drop that boy?

You know, I...

I don't know how to do this.

You know?

And I can't...

I can't...

You're so beautiful.

I'm so into you

and I can't handle it.

And I don't want to feel this way

when I know

you're seeing other people.

I don't know.

No, God...

No, no.

Jesus, it feels like
fucking high school. No.

Just... You know what?

The truth is,
I'm just not as evolved as you.

I'm just not as evolved as you.

What?

Okay.

I tried

to tell myself that I could handle it,
but when I think about you

with whoever, I...

I get jealous. I do, I get jealous,
and I don't want to be that person.

Don't want to be that person.

- So how did you find out about The Chart?
- I was looking for music.

I was in a dance ensemble up in Berkeley.

We were called "Homo Erectus."

Well, it's a really cool page.

I mean, you did a really
good job on it, you know?

Thanks.

The tools are kind of rudimentary, so...

Yeah, I know.

But we're going to seriously upgrade soon.

It's just... I have this day job, you know,

and they've been kind of
policing me and stuff,

so I'm looking for someone

who can help
with maintenance and content.

- Stuff like that.
- I'm a total geek.

When I lived in the Bay Area,

I floated for a bunch
of info-tech companies.

Cool.

So, why'd you move to L.A.?

I get more work as a dancer.
A lot of music videos shoot here.

But I miss San Francisco.

There are pretty much
no butch women in L.A.

- You think so?
- Well, no culture, no community.

Everyone's all into high fashion.

Female masculinity isn't celebrated here.

Yeah, I guess it's not, really.

Is that why you became a man?

Why I became a man.

No, I am a man, intrinsically, you know?

I didn't mean to offend you.

There are a lot of reasons
why people transition,

and they're all legitimate,
as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, I love the site.

We don't have any money, really, though.

Hey, I know. You said an intern.

Alice is... You know, she's
drawing up a business plan,

and we're hoping to get investors,
but we'll see.

I'd like to work with you, Max.
I don't care about the money.

Cool.

Yeah. That's great, thank you.
If you could just put that on the room.

So do you little ones
want anything from room service?

- No, I'm good.
- An ice cream sundae?

- And some tiramisu?
- Absolutely.

You know, I've only got them
for the weekend,

while Winnie's on retreat at Yaddo,

but I don't know how people cope

without a nanny.

Helena, are you really going to get
them tiramisu and banana splits?

Well, yeah. Why not?

Well, I mean, who's paying for this?
Catherine?

Does she even know your kids are here?

Well, yeah, I mean, I did tell her.

Anyway, Catherine's in Majorca.

By the time she gets back,
I'll have doubled my winnings.

You know, she staked me
in a game last week.

I won $50,000.

- Jesus!
- I know. I'm good at this, Alice.

You know, I've always
been good at maths.

Catherine thinks I should even go pro.

Helena, I don't know.
This whole thing is really weird.

You know, I mean, does she live here?
Like, does she even have a house?

And why is she...
Like, what is she expecting?

What does she want from you?

Well, I don't know, it's just...

It's quite normal.
It's what rich people do, you know?

Rich people who travel.
And I tell you, Catherine is the only one

who's really stood by me...

I hate the fucking Midwest!

- They're all such wimps.
- Catherine, hi.

I never made it to Majorca.

I got as far as Milwaukee.

Goddamn pig farmers
backed out of the deal.

The only saving grace is that there's
a bigger game next Friday.

I just have to raise the difference.

Can you get them to turn that down?

Yes, of course. Yes.

- I should go.
- I need you to stay.

Just a while longer
while we go downstairs.

In fact, are you booked this evening?

Catherine, actually...

This is my friend Alice.
You met her at the poker.

- She's...
- Yeah.

- She's not the babysitter.
- Not the babysitter.

Of course, Alice. Alice, Alice.
Stay for lunch.

We'll all go downstairs to the pool.

- Can we go swimming, Mommy?
- That's a great idea.

- They can swim while we eat.
- Yeah.

You know, I have so many things to do.

So many things. So, thank you, though...

And it was very nice to meet you.
Again, 'cause we have met.

Great. I will see you later.

- Okay.
- All right. Thanks for coming by.

- Guys...
- Bye.

We need a babysitter tonight.
Do you have one?

Catherine, I wasn't really
expecting you back.

Tonight, I mean.

Do you need us to get
another place to stay?

No. There's plenty of room for your brats.

Look, I'm sure the hotel
can find a sitter for us.

Yeah, but actually, I do have plans.

You see, I mean,
I want to be with my children.

I'm even missing my friend's
record release party tonight

so that I can be with them, and...

We're playing poker. It's a $50,000 buy-in.

- Hey. Come on in, come on in.
- Hi.

Thanks, thanks.

Shay's in the bedroom
watching Mr. Meaty.

Shane, this is Deirdre.

Can I go watch with them?
I love Mr. Meaty.

Sure, sure.

Why don't you just make sure
you give them dinner by 7:00, okay?

Yeah, there's pizzas
and ice cream in the freezer.

- What if they fall asleep on your bed?
- Who's that?

She's the babysitter. She's fine.

Well, if they fall asleep on my bed,
I'll sleep on the couch. It's no big deal.

Honey, you really need
to get your own place.

I know, and I'm looking for one, I promise.

Great.

- You look good.
- Thank you. So do you.

Should we get the hell out of here?

- Are you sure?
- She's fine.

She's been babysitting for him for years.

- Let's go.
- That's terrifying.

- Hi.
- That's so sweet.

- Sweet?
- And so cute. So traditional.

- Oh, shit.
- Oh, don't be embarrassed.

I love that you're old-fashioned.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, would it be
old-fashioned of me to ask Miss Porter

to sign this for my mom?

Well, only if you call her Miss Porter.

You know what I could do?

I could have her call your mom.

Should we have Kit call her on the phone?

Oh, no, no, no, she'd freak out.
Just signing it, that'll be cool.

Yeah, of course.

Nobody's here.

Yeah, you're right. It's...
It's actually kind of early.

Kind of empty.

So, what do you think we should do?

- God, where are we?
- We're home, darling.

- You seem crazy about her.
- What makes you say that?

Just the way you looked at her.

That look. I know that look.

You used to look at me like that
back in the day.

- Are you in love with her?
- Oh, God, Tina, I don't know.

I think you are.

It's way too soon.
I don't even want to think about it.

Why isn't she here?

- She's deaf.
- Oh.

Of course. I'm sorry.

Why isn't Henry here?

Oh, he's...

I don't know.

Clueless.

- Of course. I'm sorry.
- Well...

Waiter, can I have a... Have another?

- Well, I can't blame you for gloating.
- I'm not gloating.

I mean, really, the real reason
that Jodi isn't here

- is because she has a...
- Hello.

Hi.

- Hi. How are you?
- Good.

Hi, Tina.

I have good news for you.

It's looking good.

- Great.
- Oh, what's looking good for Tina?

Oh, Tina's company is trying
to buy the movie rights to my book.

So my agents are supposed to
be here soon,

and they said there's three offers
on the table, and you're in the running,

- so I'd like you to talk to them tonight.
- What are the issues?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt,
but Jen, I don't understand.

Why wouldn't you just choose Tina
over the other buyers?

- What do you mean?
- Well, first of all, she's your friend,

and if all the offers
are in the same ballpark,

I think it should just be automatic.

Because she's my friend?

Absolutely.

Okay, so, if I wanted a teaching
position at your university,

would you automatically hire me
because I'm your friend?

If I were the dean
of the English Department.

Bette...

Hi.

My agents are here. Tina?

You should go talk to them
if you want to do this.

Okay? Bye.

Can't wait.

That's incredible.

Thank you.

I just think it should be automatic.

I mean, is that crazy?
I just think it should be automatic.

That's one of the things I love about you.

What, that I'm a bombastic bully?

That you're loyal and unswerving
in your convictions.

- Is that too much?
- No.

- Is this good?
- More. More.

What? What, what, what? Are you hurt?

No, it's just... The
seatbelt is up my dress.

Oh, shit.

- Where'd it go?
- There.

They don't make cars like this anymore.

Put your fingers inside me.

Please.

You know what? This is fantastic.

I feel like I'm really there in Lez Girls.

You really captured it, babe.

- Ladies.
- Good to see you, Bette.

Did you see the Pettibon opening
at the Regen projects?

Actually, I was out of town,
but I heard it was a spectacular show.

I bought two drawings.
I am so fucking excited.

Bette and I have a couple of Pettibons.

Oh. Oh, are you two...

No, not anymore,

but we bought them
when we were together.

- Hi, ladies.
- Oh, hey.

Hey.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, is everything okay?

Oh, yeah. She's just a little nervous.

She'll be out soon.
Everybody got everything they need?

- Yeah, we're good.
- Great, yeah, thank you.

Excellent.

- Thanks, Angus.
- So, Tina, um,

back to what we were talking about.

Thank you.
Beautiful proposal you submitted,

and we're considering it,

but Fox Searchlight has a track record
for award-winning independent features.

Yeah, Fox Searchlight is fantastic,
but I've talked to Jenny

and I've already told her
how committed I am

to the integrity of her project.

I know, but Tina, at the end of the day,

the project's going to be
out of your hands.

- But...
- I don't...

I'm sorry. But I don't think...

That maybe you're aware
of the kinds of movies

that Tina's been involved with
during the course of her career.

I mean, she turned Sofia Coppola
on to The Virgin Suicides.

Oh, really?

Michel Gondry has thanked her

in every single one
of his acceptance speeches.

And frankly,
she's one of the best executives

you'll ever work with.

Not to mention the most honest.

What are they talking about?

Um, a movie deal, I think.

I don't know.

You know,

you two are so fucking hot,

and...

You know, I'm into that, and...

Just make the call.

What?

What?

You see chubster over there
in the toupee?

Last week he limps in at about midnight.

I'm on the button.
He raises six times the big blind.

Now, these are fairly loose
and aggressive tables.

So he's the mark.

Very good.

So you know what to do
when the flop comes

and the fat man goes all in.

Make him think he stands a chance.

That's my girl.

You have a talent for the game, Helena.

We make a great team.

I want to spend the night with you.

Hang on. What would the children say?

Do you like that?

$20,000.

$20,000...

Oh, you know what?

I'm going to raise you.

Sorry.

Fold.

Cheers.

Hey, Alice, this is Grace, the new intern.

Hey, Grace, it's so nice to meet you.
Max tells me you're a real whiz.

It's nice to meet you, too.
I love your site.

- Ah, thanks.
- And I like your t-shirt.

Oh, let me see.

- That's fantastic.
- I saw one yesterday.

It said, "Waging war to stop terrorism
is like putting out a fire with gasoline."

Oh, wait, I saw one.

"Kill one, and it's murder,
kill thousands, and it's foreign policy."

Oh, right, I've seen that one.

Or "We're killing people faster
than we're making enemies."

"America, wake up
and smell the catastrophe."

I like "God doesn't take sides in war."

That's a good one...

Oh, fuck.

I'm sorry.

All right, you guys,
doing her new single Bareback,

coming out soon on Fierce Kitty Records,
let's give it up for Kit Porter.

We finally got you into The Planet.

I like the way you walk

I like the way you walk

- When you walk to me
- When you walk to me

Yeah!

I like the way you move

Like the way you mmm-hmm

- When you move with me
- When you move with me

I wanna feel you through

My mind's made up on you

Want nothing in between

Just let me make you scream

I wanna ride with you

- Bareback
- Bareback

- Wanna do you, wanna take you
- Wanna do you, wanna take you

- Bareback
- Bareback

- Wanna love you
- Wanna love you

- Gotta make you know me
- Gotta make you know me

- Can't do this
- Can't do this

- With anyone but you, this
- With anyone but you, this

- Bareback loving
- Bareback loving

- Pushing me and shoving
- Pushing me and shoving

- Into love, love, love
- Into love, love, love

You motherfucking liar!
Fuck you! You... You...

You lying, low-down,
nanny-fucking motherfucker!

Who do you think I am,
some motherfucking chump?

Fuck you, motherfucker!

God damn you!

Get out of my fucking life, motherfucker.

Shit.

- Kit?
- Go away!

Come on, open the door.
I need to talk to you.

Just...

Please, just let me talk to you.

I don't want to see you.
I don't want to see you!

Just go on. Do what she says. I'll try.

Kit... Kit, it's me.

He's gone.

Fuck you.

Excuse me?

Talk to me.

You protected him.

You protected him when you knew
he was lying and cheating.

Kit, I wasn't protecting him.
I was protecting you.

I didn't want you to get hurt.
That's what I told him.

I told him that he should break it off...

You told him?

I'm sorry.

Kit, I'm so sorry.

Papi, come on. Get me out of here.

I am done with motherfucking men.

Get me out of here.

- I don't want to deal with it anymore.
- Come on.

Come on, let's go. Come on, girl.

Usually I'd leave it on bankroll,
but we need it when we get to Majorca.

We?

- I'm not going to Majorca, am I?
- If you make it worth my while.

Babe...

It's more like
if you make it worth my while.

Excellent.

Look, I didn't know you were that upset.

Why don't you just come up,
and we can talk about it?

What do you want to talk about?

All that shit you people are
spouting on t-shirts?

Wearing slogans,
while other people are wearing armor.

Oh, yeah, what's so great
about wearing armor?

You and I live in different worlds, Alice.

Yeah. I live in a world where
people talk about things.

Why don't you take off your armor
and just come upstairs. Jesus.

- I'm not...
- You're coming in.

I'm not letting you go like this.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

You better get your ass upstairs.

Girl, you're about to try the best mojito
you've ever had in your life.

You have no idea.

It's good, right?

Okay, all right. We can come back.
We can come back.

Come on, let me show you what it's like
to be treated like a lady.

Those people are so ignorant.
It makes me insane.

Well, they're not my people.
They're Jenny's agents.

Yeah? Well, what about that girl?
She works for you.

Grace?

Well, yeah, but you saw.
I was introduced to her for the first time.

Oh, come on, Alice, stop fronting, okay?
That's your world.

You were right in there with them
with all their knee-jerk liberal bullshit.

Yeah, but that's America.

It's supposedly what you're fighting for.

It's a little thing
called freedom of speech.

- Remember?
- Yeah, I remember.

It's something Iraq couldn't
even dream of until we came in.

Oh, please.

Okay, yeah, now they have
the freedom to starve,

and the freedom
to be blown up every day?

We built hospitals, schools,
electrical systems.

We put in public sewer systems...

Fine! Okay, but how much of that
was destroyed by us in the first place?

It's all because Bush needs his oil,

and because Halliburton needs
to protect their investments.

I mean, God knows who else
is making money from this fucking war.

The soldiers I know
went because we had to,

and we tried to do the best that we could,

and yeah, okay, I know
some of it's a mess,

but I'm proud of the soldiers
that I served with,

and I'm so tired of people talking shit

without even knowing what it's really like

to be in it.

Well, then tell me what
it's like to be in it.

Oh, yeah!

Yeah!

- Did he see it?
- Oh, my God.

- Where are you going?
- I have to check on the children.

They're fine.

- Yeah, but...
- They're fine.

- Catherine, I...
- Up, up.

Show me the money.

Show me the money.

Show me the money.

Yeah, some of them are
poor kids who are over there

because back where they come from
nobody's giving them a chance.

Right, and we treat them
like second-class citizens,

and then we expect them to die
so some rich guy can get richer.

And then the kids in the ghetto, please...

What, you think
I come from the fucking ghetto?

I didn't say you.

You know, some of the people
are in the military

because they want to serve
their country, okay?

We believe in what we stand for.

I'm sorry if we don't live our lives

wearing trendy, fake-ass, raggedy T-shirts

that scream out bullshit
about, "Why do we kill people?"

You think it's trendy
to not want to kill people?

The soldiers that I served with
don't want to kill people!

Like, what the fuck?
Do you think I want to kill people?

Well, why are you there?

- The question is, why the fuck am I here?
- Because we want to fuck each other!

What the fuck are you doing?

- Taking this shit to the fucking bedroom.
- Right on.

You know what?

It's not that I don't understand
what you were saying about recruitment.

Like, I really get that,
but I just feel like...

- Shut up and let me fuck you.
- Okay.

Where we at?

You said you wanted me
to take you home.

Oh, yeah,

'cause you said

you were going to treat me

like a lady.

That's right.

Get that off you.

Fuck me so...

Fuck me so I forget.

You with me, beautiful?

All right.

You have had too much to drink, princess.

Let's put you to bed.

You know,

I think if Dick Cheney didn't have
investments in Iraqi oil

that I don't know if Bush
really would have...

Shut up.

Please.

Okay? Your bush is the only bush
I want to think about right now.

- No...
- Yes.

- No, you didn't say that.
- Yes.

Oh, no.

Yes.

Okay.

- All right, can you tell me what time
it is? - Yeah, that's 23 minutes to go.

Two minutes less
than when there were 25 minutes.

You're going to get a time-out.

Oh, I like that.

No, it's just cute.

- You're just a little bit nervous.
- I'm not nervous.

- Just a little bit.
- No, I'm not.

Hey, Shay, did you guys
choose boards out?

Yeah, we both like the Dark Stars.

That's fantastic.

We're just going to go practice
out on the half-pipe.

- Yeah, helmets. Helmets, helmets.
- That's right, that's right.

Everyone wears helmets today.

- It's your job, all right, kid?
- Okay.

- Baby, where you going?
- Home.

Do you know where you're at?

Your place?

Yeah, which is in Echo Park.

Let me drive you home.

Did we...

Look, I could never
take advantage of a lady

in a compromised situation.

- You mean, I didn't make the Chart?
- The Chart?

You mean, I didn't even make
the motherfucking Chart?

- Okay, that's not too tight, is it?
- No.

No?

- Then you're good to go, miss.
- Okay, thanks.

But yeah, everything that I'm seeing
these days is either dirty or dingy,

- and dark and disgusting, and...
- Oh, I know, I know,

and what about outdoor space?
I mean, don't you want something with...

I don't know, a courtyard
or a garden or something?

Well, yeah, idealistically,
I'd love outdoor space,

but realistically, I
can't really afford it.

Well, you know, if you're just prepared

to go a little bit further east,
it's totally possible.

- Have you ever thought about Silver Lake?
- Well, I'm not against Silver Lake.

I have a really beautiful
three-plus-two in a fourplex.

It's just above the Reservoir.

It's got, like, a terrace
off the master bedroom,

it's got its own little backyard...

Really?

It's a tiny bit more
than what you want to spend,

but I bet you I could get them
to come down for you.

- You could?
- I think so. Do you want me to call?

- Would you?
- Yeah, I'll call them today.

I'd appreciate that.

- Yeah, no problem.
- Let me know.

What's that?

Cream.

Heavy cream?

Clotted cream.

Don't tell me you're watching your weight.

Oh, please. That's some white-girl shit.

Oh, damn, that's good.

It's the salty seeds with the sweet cream.

Oh, sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- You designed these yourself?
- They're super cute.

No, no, no, we have a few
guys who do it for us.

Do you sell them anyplace else?

I'll bet they'd be popular
if you wanted to mass-market them.

Yeah, that's what I keep telling her.

Oh, no, right now, you can just get it

through the store and the website.

It's easy.

Hey, Shane.

Yes, sir?

Can I go to Carlos' birthday
party next weekend, at Go Kart World?

That's in Carson.
It's a great place for a birthday party.

- Kids love it.
- Say please.

- Please?
- One more time.

- Please?
- Okay, fine.

- Next weekend?
- Yeah.

It's a date. You got it.

- Thank you.
- You're quite welcome.

Yeah, 'cause I really think

you could sell these at Fred Segal,

and it wouldn't take
anything away from Wax.

- Absolutely, yeah.
- It's a good idea.

- I mean, this would look great on you.
- I think so.

Try that on?

I'm sorry. Excuse me for a second.

Shay? What's wrong?

What are you looking at?

Dad!

How's my little man, huh?

Yeah?
