TV-Serie: The L Word - 5x11

Previously on the l word...
Let's move in together.
Really Yeah.
Yeah, let's do it.
Why not?
We are going to make a movie.
We are?
Oh...
Cut.
Print.
Do you think this is going to be One of those movie things?
Or do you think we're actually going to make it?
I'm going to love you...
Forever.
I just want something to scare somebody.
I ???Recommend one gun for home defense.
It's easy to use, the name is good, The trigger pulls quickly, and the recoil is low.
Are you having an affair with bette?
Jodi is going to be devastated.
I've always been in love with her.
I love tina.
Are you cheating on me?
She looks a little chubby.
Yeah.
Let me just cue this up.
I'm still working on it.
So this is just a rough cut.
Okay.
I never thought bev would lie, and cheat, And skank around on me, and treat me just as badly As every man i'd ever been with.
I thought women would be better somehow.
I know you're all sitting there judging me, And i guess i deserve it.
I fucked up.
But there's something i need to say.
We should go.
Yeah-- No, stay, please.
If you have something to say, Go ahead, say it in front of our friends.
Nina, i just left the plumber's house.
You just came from her house?
I told her that i love you, That you're the love of my life, And i'm never going to see her again.
If i'm the love of your life, Then why did you fuck her?
Bev...
I'm so sorry, nina.
You shouldn't have cheated on me.
What can i do to help you to forgive me?
We both need to set aside time for us, For our relationship.
I want to, nina.
I don't want to lose you.
We belong together.
Aw...
Thank god.
I don't know what i would have done If they'd split up.
They're like the best couple that ever lived.
They're role models for the rest of us.
They really are.
An example for the straight world.
Mh-Humm.
There's one more good reason why we should stay together.
What's that?
I'm going to have your baby.
No...
So, what did you think?
I think it needs a bit of work.
I just have a few notes.
If you can go back to the second take...
Tom and jodi are in touch.
She emailed him.
She's staying with a friend.
It's good that she has friends.
Yeah, but we're her friends, too.
I'm sorry, i don't mean to be rude.
I apologize.
I'm sorry.
I'm having a day.
Did he say which friend?
I'm not sure, amy, maybe?
Have you not spoken to her at all?
She hasn't returned any of my messages.
Would you blame her?
I'm not blaming her.
Ladies, please don't fight.
I can't stand it when sisters do that.
Jenny, this isn't a scene in your movie.
You don't have to direct today.
Stay out of it, alice.
You are so pms-Ing.
I'm not pms-Ing.
You're the one that's pms-Ing.
You've been flying off the handle Over every single thing this morning.
I'm so glad i don't have to go through that anymore.
I second that emotion.
Tina, what time is my call today?
I don't know your call-Time, okay?
Okay.
There's a whole crew.
I don't know when everyone comes in.
Okay.
Hello, ladies.
Hey, gang's all here, look at that, babe.
What's the matter?
You all look a little down.
What is it?
Pms?
Did you all sync up on the subaru pink ride?
Denbo, what's up?
Are we still cool with our deal?
Oh oh, yeah We have something very exciting to tell you guys.
Um, my lover cindi and i met an old friend of yours.
Does the name ivan aycock ring a bell?
You saw ivan?
Yeah, wasn't easy to find old ivan, Let me tell you, but i have my ways.
Anyway, i tracked her down, and god bless her, She couldn't have been happier To unload her 51% of the planet.
I would say that she was actually Practically gleeful to sell it to me.
How fucking dare you?
You know what?
Get the fuck out of here.
Oh, really?
Oh, honey, they're telling us to get the fuck out of here.
Well, you can't really tell us to get the fuck out of here, Because we own this place.
What?
You motherfucking liar!
Kit, kit...
Okay, okay, we're leaving, But we'll be back, With a decorator, because i'll tell you, This place is in need of a serious makeover.
Ciao.
Come on, babe.
Looks like somebody got here before me.
Jodi, i'm so sorry-- Why is she talking to me?
Doesn't she know i'm deaf?
Where do you want to go?
It's up to you.
You don't have a car?
I got dropped off.
Well, i have some meetings that i need to reschedule.
Do what you have to do.
Okay.
Yeah, james, it's me.
Uh, listen, i have something That i need to take care of this morning.
Can you reschedule my morning meetings?
Yes, the one with phyllis.
I don't care what you have to tell her.
Just tell her i have wicked pms, i don't know.
She probably doesn't even remember what that feels like.
Okay, great.
All right, thank you.
Listen, if you have to go to work-- No, i don't need to go to work.
I know how busy you are, And i don't want it to be a problem for you.
This is the most important thing in the world to me.
What is?
This, you and me.
Here's 20.
No, no, that's okay, that's okay.
It's on me.
Thanks.
Are you and bette planning on moving in together?
We're not planning anything.
And she has to talk to jodi first.
You know, i got to tell you, tina, I really respect you for showing some restraint And holding back, i do.
Well, it's about time.
Jesus.
What?
Jenny had an art department meeting this morning, And she missed it, And adele went in her place instead.
Wait, shouldn't adele have made sure That jenny knew about the meeting?
Yeah, max is right.
She should have told her.
Well, i'm sure she tried.
I've got to go, you guys.
I've got to fix this.
20?
No-- Okay.
Fuck it.
You don't get to do this.
You have no right to be the one who does this.
I'm sorry.
I never meant to.
I never meant for this to happen.
What happened?
I don't even know what's happening.
Everybody else seems to know, but i'm in the dark here!
Did you and that woman fuck?
I don't know who you're talking about.
Did you fuck her?
Are you fucking?
How long has this been going on?
It's not about fucking.
I don't know how it happened.
I think that...
Tina and i, we just...
We just never really finished.
You know, and we have angelica-- I know you have angelica.
But it's not just about angelica.
We have so much history, And there's...
I don't think that we realized How strong the connection...
And there's just still so much that hasn't been resolved-- Oh, so fucking her resolved it?
I told you-- I know, it's not about fucking.
I know.
Are you in love with her?
It's very complicated.
Of course it's complicated.
I asked you if you love her.
Yes, i love her.
Do you love me?
Yes, i love you, i do.
No, no, no...
No.
I'm going to fight for you.
I like it.
I mean, it doesn't have as much character As my building, but it's a house, And it would be our house.
Oh��it's way too expensive.
It's not that expensive.
It's eight times as much as my apartment in long beach.
Well, we'll be splitting the rent, so...
All right, well, four times as much.
We don't have to split the rent exactly down the middle.
Yes, we fucking do.
If i get this job, i'll be making a lot of money.
Alice, can we just please keep looking?
I hope you bleed soon.
I really do.
Fuck you.
Jodi...
God...
God!
Hi, 12 minute warning.
Okay, thanks.
Hey...
Hey!
How was your bike ride?
Oh, god, wow, it was...
It was hard.
Yeah, well, you're in good shape.
Not really.
Not like i thought i was.
S-So...
How was your weekend?
I'm ready to go back to work.
Well, good.
That's good.
Except for, i'm a little worried about today.
Niki, begonia...
Nightmare.
You know what?
I think everything's going to be just fine.
You do?
I never thought i'd say this, But i actually think jenny's got some...
Talent?
She's making some really interesting stylistic choices.
Last night i was watching dailies, And i thought to myself, "oh, my god, We might have a really good movie."
Can you come into the conference room, please?
Sure.
I'll see you on set.
What is it now?
Take a seat.
Okay, does somebody want to tell us what this is all about?
There we go.
Enough...
Enough.
Cut it off.
Who did this?
Well, i think it's fair to say that you and niki did it.
This was a private tape.
Who has seen this abomination?
It's not an abomination.
Nobody's seen it...
Yet.
But there are 25 more copies, And each one of them is logged, addressed, And ready to go out to letterman, Leno, oprah, ellen, Fox, e, the national enquirer, Star, hola!, hello, perez hilton, But none of them have seen it yet, And frankly, i would like to never have to send it.
What is it that you want, adele?
Tina...
Look, this is not about what i want.
This is about this film.
This is about lez girls.
This is about this incredibly important, And powerful, and significant film, That has the opportunity to change hearts and minds, And affect the lives of millions of people, And it mustn't be tainted by a scandal caused by the...
By the inexcusably reckless And...
completely...
Entitled behavior Of the very few people Entrusted with this opportunity.
I'm going to call william, and i'm going to tell him What a disgusting human being-- I've shown them the tape, And i've spoken to william at length.
And he agrees with me...
That the situation's become untenable.
What is it that you will want, adele?
Jodi...
Jodi, stop.
Jodi, stop!
Stop!
What?
I can't do this.
It's not right.
I don't want to do this with you.
Oh, crap.
Fuck...
Where are you going?
To go kill myself.
Move.
Please.
Please don't do this.
Let me go.
I can't let you go.
Why?
Can't you make up your mind?
I thought you wanted to get rid of me.
I can't let you go When you're threatening to hurt yourself.
I'm not going to kill myself over you.
Don't flatter yourself.
Jodi...
I really care for you so deeply, But i am not going to walk away And just turn my back on you And let you hate me.
I'm going to fight for this relationship.
Look, i have to go to school.
I have two meetings-- Stop, stop, Stop...
Stop managing me I'm not phyllis I'm not phllis i'm not one of your students I know what you'er doing It's not going to work whit me.
So please, bette, have some respect for me.
I have total respect for you.
Now, what do you want me to do?
I'll come whit you to school And we'll talk When you finish your meeting.
We'll be in a public place I won't want to huniliaate myself.
Okay.
Niki...
Niki, come here.
Please come here, i have to talk to you.
Why?
What's going on?
We've got to get out of here.
What's wrong?
Someone got a hold of that tape that we made On the pink ride, And they're trying to extort and blackmail the production, So we've got to get out of here-- Wait, wait, what tape?
The tape in the tent?
Jenny, get away from her.
-Niki...
-Kevin, do you know about this?
No, no, wait, niki...
Get away from niki.
-Kevin, do you know about this?
-Yes, i do, Don't.
He doesn't care about you.
Don't listen to him.
He just cares about his fucking paycheck.
He doesn't care about the movie that we're trying to make, okay?
I want you guys to know what's going on here.
That these people, They're-They're treacherous, And they're soulless, And they're trying to ruin this movie-- Okay, that's enough.
Somebody call security right now, please.
-Security!
-Wait!
Okay, just give me one second with here.
So, if anybody has any integrity, Come with me.
Okay?
You can come with me.
You can stand up to these people.

I'm with you.
Yeah?

I promise you, i'm on your side.
Let me walk you out of here.

Niki...
Please.
Please come with me?
Please?
Niki, you're under contract.
Come on, let's go.
All right, everybody, back to work!
How are we supposed to get back to work Without the director?
The director is here.
Because our relationship will be out of balance If you pay a bigger portion of the rent.
I will be out of balance If you make me live in a shithole.
A shithole?
This is nicer than any place I've ever lived in.
All right, we can talk about this later After the taping.
I have to get ready.
We'll go for dinner or something, I don't know.
I'm going to long beach.
I don't even know if i'll be back in time.
You're not coming to my taping?
Well, i didn't know that you wanted me to go, so...
Why would...
No, but if it's that important to you, i mean, i'll...
-I don't know-- -Whatever.
Look, it's just that A bunch of my friends are going to be there, And i was kind of looking forward to it.
I'll tivo it for you.
It's okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Jenny...
I need you to listen to me, all right?
Listen to me and ??
Why should i trust you, tina?
Because i'm as stunned as you are, all right?
I feel like a fucking idiot.
Just this morning i defended adele.
I have to get off this set.
-I got to get out of here.
-Stay here, listen.
I need you to listen to me.
Do not-- Tina, i have to get out of here.
Listen to me right now, okay?
Do not do anything stupid.
Do not retaliate, okay?
Do not get in the way of production.
Talk to your agents, Let them help you, And later you can call niki If you'd like to.
She's dead to me.
I'm sorry.
I know how much that must hurt.
I understand.
Do you understand?
Okay, fine, jenny, Maybe i couldn't understand that, all right?
But just, i need you to give me some time To figure out how to fix this, okay?

Yeah, um...
That sounds about right.
So...
Let's talk underwear.
Um, what do you like women to wear Under your clothes?
Well, um, i like boxers or briefs, Because it kind of makes you feel Like a 14-Year-Old boy.
Which is liberating for women, And totally hot.
Exactly.
Um...
It's also sexy, i think, To wear, like, lingerie under men's clothes.
That's totally, totally hot.

Why did she get fired?
I can't tell you, But all i can tell you is that it's really bad.

I'm just worried about niki.

Hi.
How was your meeting?
You know we can't be a part of the piece.
I think it wouldbe fun.
It would be dishonest.
Dishonest, how?
They're writing about couples, and we're not a couple.
Why not?
Because it's just not working.
You said you weren't going to let me go.
You'er going to fight for our relationship.
I meant our friendship.
I don't want a friendship whit you.
We can go to therapy.
We can find a good therapist.
And we can word on our realationship.
I don't think that therapy is the answer, jodi.
Why?
I don't want to go to therapy.
I've had enough therapy.
But you owe it to me.
Jodi, i wanted so much For this relationship to work.
I love who you are.
I love how you stand in the world.
I love your talent, i love your passion, I love your anger, But you and i are just fundamentally different.
We have different core values.
What are my values?
It doesn't matter.
It's not a judgment.
What matters is...
That there's been something missing for me, Something that is hard to define, And i have been desperately Just trying to create this thing, And just looking for it, But i...
I've been just flailing.
And i realize now That you and i, We're never going to find it.
How do you know?
Because i have it with someone else.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but melissa just called.
Is everything okay?
Well, she has food poisoning or something, And she can't pick up angie for her playdate.
Okay, thank you.
Do you have to go now?
No.
