The L Word - Sixth Season

Wait, let me write that.

- Hold on one second. - Okay, what's the studio?

Okay, great.

- I'm so glad you like this base. - Yeah, I read that treatment.

- No, it is amazing. - Yeah, no, I hated it.

- No, frankly. Plus he's designed to... - He's a real asshole to work with.

- Everybody say so. - Absolutely. Every single aspect.

Yeah, actually she pitched it to me on my blackberry.

- What? You are kiding me! - Well, we couln't be more thrilled.

Absolutely.

- Half a million dollars?! - I can't wait for you to meet Kelly.

No way!

- Great, we're looking forward to it. - He's gonna be

- so pissed. - Okay, what, you know?

- Yeah. - Yeah, sure. No problem.

- Alright, we'll see you then. - Really?

- Alright. Bye-bye. - Wow! Oh my god!

You two have just really moved your offices right on in here, huh?

- Wow, that's amazing. - That's construction is a fucking nightmare.

- It's so different. - The next time I get the bright idea

- to double the square foot of my house? - Very commercial.

Please, talk me out of it.

Yeah, it's on tuesday.

- "Traffic Light" by the Ting Tings -

- Guess what? - What?

Jenny sold her script.

What? Wait... I didn't even know she was working a screenplay.

- I didn't... Yeah. - She goes to show you.

She was depressed and

someone stole her movie right of from under

and she just sat right back down and

she just banged out another script.

Just cranked it out?

- Good for her. - Yeah.

There was a bidding war. Guess how much it sold for?

- How much? - Half a million dollars.

No, shit! Wow! Half a million?

Yeah, you know, I would have been on it myself,

but you know Aaron, he's such a shortsighted prig.

- He hates Jenny. - Well, that's great for her.

Wonder what it's about this time, huh?

MUSIC

Should I be worried? I mean, did she go through the garbage

to make a pull new set of lies about our relationship?

No, this one's completely different.

It's an action-comedy

about a talk show host and a cop.

And the talk show host gets embroiled in this like murder mystery,

but the movie really revolves around the romance

between the talk show host and the cop.

It's kinda like a foul play,

- meets, uh... - "Mr and Mrs Smith"?

Yeah, sort of. So, for this it's gonna be

huge. It's a great concept.

- Oh my... You guys! - Big blockbuster potential.

That's my story!

- What? - What?

That's, that's my story!

Oh god!

Schecter is so fucking dead!

Half a million dollars?!

Excuse me?

You sold your screenplay for half a million dollars?!

Yeah. I'm so relieved.

Shane's taking me out tonight to

go to dinner to celebrate. If you wanna come...

Jenny, you stole my idea!

What are you talking about?

The treatment that I gave you about the screenplay

that I was gonna write! With the,

with the talk show host who falls for the cop,

who, who gets involved in a murder plot.

I believe, if I remember right,

you said it was a terrible idea.

I think your exact words were

contrived, boring,

unsellable?

Right. That jumble of ideas that you gave me?

- The treatment, yes. - Oh, Alice.

In no universe would that mish-mash of ideas

be considered a sellable treatment, and for your information,

I've been working on a screenplay of my own

for the last couple of months and if it happens to bear

some ressemblance to something that your jotted down

then it's pure coincidence.

- Oh my god! - It happens all the time in Hollywood.

Where people steal their friends' ideas and then

they sell them off as their own. Is that what you're trying to say?

No, it's something called the idea well, okay?

- Oh my god... - There is a well.

All of the writers drink from the same fountain.

Okay? But,

it takes genius, talent, craftsmanship,

to take a kernel of an idea

and turn it into,

tada! A sellable screenplay, okay?

Jenny, you are so fucking full of shit!

Hey, what's going on?

Hi.

She's crossed the fucking line, Shane. She has

fucking crossed it. I... This is how it's gonna be.

If you, if you continue to

shack up with this

fucking lying, stealing

snake in the fucking grass, I swear to God,

I cannot consider you to be my friend anymore.

A fucking joke!

What... Jen, what's that?

I don't... I guess she has some misguided idea that

I stole the idea of her screenplay.

I don't know.

She is pissed off!

I guess she'll just have to get over it.

MUSIC

What do you mean Jenny stole your idea? That's crazy!

She doesn't even deny doing it.

She was like "It happens to be similar".

You know what? I feel bad about this.

Because I'm the one that sent you...

It's not your fault. I mean, how were we supposed to know

that she was gonna fucking screw me over like that?

Can you sue her? I mean,

does Joyce do copy right infrigement?

No, it doesn't work that way.

- What are you gonna do? - I don't...

I can't even talk about it anymore. It's just like I'm...

You know what I mean?

Why are you guys still here?

I'm working from home and yet I have no home...

And ever since I've been accused of stealing the negative,

it's too uncomfortable to go to the office.

So, I'm just avoiding it.

I only have to go back later on the day.

- What? - What?

Oh, I'm going to Hit tonight, you guys,

with Tasha and Jamie, if you wanna go.

Is Jamie that girl

that you guys have been hanging out with all the time?

Oh my... Yes!

Yeah. She's

awesome! She's so cool, you guys.

We actually went to that sushi bar you were telling me about,

on Mandchura. It was fun.

What?

You're having a third wheel crush.

- You and Tasha. - Yeah, definitively.

Oh my god... We're...

Just friends.

She's a friend.

We love her as in friend love.

- It's friend love. - You so are!

You have all the telltale signs.

Signs, Bette? Really? What signs?

Well, let's see. It starts when,

you know, you've been dating your partner for quite a while

and you're starting to go bored with one another

and then you start fighting all the time.

We're not fighting.

- What? - Wait...

I mean, there's a little bit of fighting. Maybe.

And then you meet a new person,

and you start hanging out all the time, the three of you,

doing everything together, and you know what?

It's just great. And this new person

starts to revatalize the relationship,

pouring all this energy and then excitment into it.

And this syndrome? It can last

weeks, months,

or even

like...

- Remember Sally? - Go-Go Lisa?

- That almost lasted the year. - I know.

Just as long as it doesn't end...

- tip. - Tip.

Tip?

Well, when one member of the couple, you know,

falls in love with the third wheel and then decides to act on it.

Because then...

- What, Bette? - Well...

You're so wrong!

I can't even tell you how wrong you are!

So you just check yourself before you wreck yourself.

- Come on. - What?

We think that Tasha and Alice are having a third wheel cruch with

Jamie.

- Jamie? - You know what, Helena?

MUSIC

Girl, honey,

that's dangerous business.

Dangerous business.

And speaking of dangerous business...

I could do without the segue, Kit.

What?

What?

I'm having

dinner with Dylan on saturday night.

- Are you on crack? - What? - Let me tell you.

- Let me tell you. - Are you crazy?

- You're a masochist? - Plus mine. Totally.

Why?
