The L Word - First Season

The total is 77.83.

So I give you the card.

Here. Oh, and I do this.

Um...

And then you have to sign it.

- Thank you. Have a nice day. - Thanks, guys.

- What do I do with this? - I'll take it.

So do you like living in this neighbourhood?

I don't know. It's OK.

You don't mind that there are a lot of homos and stuff around?

- What? - Don't get me wrong, they seem pretty cool

but aren't they always checking out your boyfriend and stuff?

No.

Customer.

- Oh, my God. - Page me if you need me.

I wanna see you check me out.

OK.

I'm... sorry about last night.

I should've...

I shouldn't have left like that.

I feel really, really silly

and I think I freaked out.

Not because it was it was a gay bar,

but because I had absolutely no idea what I was doing there.

OK, the total is 54.05.

I hope they overpay their employees

as much as they overcharge their customers.

Do you wanna come to my reading group? It's one week from Monday.

I don't know.

I have to check with Tim.

There you go.

Um... Marina.

Is your reading group a gay group?

No.

There are straight people.

You look cute with the little apron on.

Oh. Yes.

OK. I'm sorry.

We get together once a month. Five couples, $50's our limit.

Jenny and I belonged to a game in Chicago.

She's not a very good cheater.

I am not a cheater.

I am not a cheater. Tim likes to say that I'm a cheater

because Tim is always losing.

Come on, that's not true. Not never, anyway.

Once I went out up three whole dollars.

You should come tomorrow night.

We can always make room for another couple.

Cool. What time do you guys start?

Um, I can't. I have that book club thing.

Call and cancel. This will be fun. Maybe we can become regular...

- I committed. - So uncommit.

- What's the big deal? - 'Cause, um...

It's only once a month and I've been looking forward to it.

- God, you really want me to cancel? - No.

Go on.

Uh, we won't be able to make it.

- Just keep us in mind, though. - Sure, man.

Hey.

I thought you were hanging the show.

Annie's got it under control.

I thought we could spend the evening together.

I need exercise.

I'm feeling a little tense.

Fine.

I guess I shoulda called first.

Yeah.

I can't believe that Carolyn See is in the group.

I know. Great mind. Such a turn-on.

I'm so happy that I came. I feel very inspired tonight.

Good. That's what it's all about.

Maybe next time you'll read one of yours.

- No! - Why not?

- Because... - You don't have to do anything you don't want.

Tina.

What are you doing here?

I'm just exorcising some demons.

- You look really good. - I do?

Yeah. You're getting great definition right here.

Your latissimus dorsi, really starting to pop.

- Are you getting a good stretch in your hips? - I gotta go.

Um...

Bette came home just to be with me.

I don't know what I was thinking.

Tina.

I'm starting to see some private clients very selectively.

- Let me know if you're interested. - Yeah!

I will.

- Good night. - Good night. I had a really great time.

Good. I'm glad.

Have sweet dreams.

Look, if you wanna go back to Dan Foxworthy, that's fine.

I'll make an appointment. Tell me when you're free.

Just make the appointment and tell me when it is.

Tomorrow at 3.15.

I was gonna see him by myself but I'd rather you come with me.

To Jenny being in LA.

Cheers.

I'm so glad you're here.

I missed you a lot.

I've missed you too.

- Aren't they cute? - Mm. Adorable.

All right, all right. Let's order.

Are you guys still fighting?

Just grill it. My wife doesn't think I need all that breading.

You don't. He doesn't. You're getting a paunch.

Oh!

Hey, look who's here!

- Hi. - Man.

That girl is so hot. She doesn't look gay.

- Randy! - What?

- Marina's not gay, is she? - No idea.

If she is, she's with that blonde with the cute haircut.

You think she's cute?

I didn't say I wanted to sleep with her.

I like the one who looks like a rock star.

If I had to be with a woman, she'd be my type.

I have to use the bathroom.

- Wine's not bad. - It's nice.

What are you doing here?

- The same thing you're doing, I imagine. - Well, I'm finding it very distracting.

Do you?

I'd like to see you again.

Stop it.

I have to go.

Hey. Stopped at The Planet and got you a coffee.

"She drifted across the expanse, lifted the first veil... "

I'm sorry.

What's going on?

I'm just a little tense.

You go off to school every day and have your whole deal worked out.

Um...

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing in LA.

I thought you were doing well.

I mean, you're writing.

You're working, a job that you wanted.

You even made some friends.

I just feel like it's kind of a little scary right now.

I'm feeling a bit, um, overwhelmed.

Don't take it out on me.

- I'm not the enemy. - I know.

I know.

You couldn't be more supportive of me.

You wanna get that?

Hello.

Hi.

Uh, yeah. How are you?

Oh, OK.

Yes, no problem.

OK.

OK.

Bye.

Um, that was... That was Marina.

We're gonna have dinner on Saturday night.

We don't have plans, do we? If we do, I can reschedule.

No, go ahead. It's fine.

We were just gonna get together and talk about the book club.

I should call her back

and say that you and I need to spend some time together.

Jenny, I have that basketball game

with the department head Saturday night.

Go, have dinner with Marina. That's fine.

OK.

Thank you.

She said she was coming.

It was kinda last minute, though.

- You think she might not be showing up? - I don't know.

Maybe we should spend a little time talking about you.

I'm sorry I'm late, but I have a really good excuse.

So don't make this easy on me.

- I have found the perfect donor. - Who?

Marcus Allenwood. He's an artist

just selected for the next Whitney Biennial.

- We had a serious conversation. - But I've never met him.

No, but I know what we're looking for. He's perfect...

He has a kid, so can get someone pregnant.

I never met him.

You will meet him tomorrow.

He's coming by the house at 11 and you're taking him to the cryobank.

He's leaving the next day for Cologne. He's in a group show.

Tee, he's willing to do this for us

to have the sperm on ice for when you're next ovulating.

It'll be there when we wanna use it.

- M... Marcus? - Tina, right?

Um...

I have to get something out of the bedroom, and, uh... have a seat.

- And then we'll go to the cryobank. - OK.

Fuck.

Ready?

Tina, did Bette not tell you I was black?

No, not at all.

But... she didn't not tell me because it doesn't matter either way.

- Right? - I can't answer that.

No.

- Um, OK. Are you ready to go? - Let's do it.

Hi.

I'm Tina Kennard and I'm here with my friend.

He's here to make a deposit.

- Marcus, right? - That's right.

- It says here you've been HIV-tested. - I have my paperwork.
