"I had a dream about Jenny's movie last night." " It was weird." " What was it?" "Me, you and Helena?" "We're like Charlie's angels." "Who is Charlie?" "Once upon a time, there were three little lesbians who just hung out at a coffee shop." "But I changed all that." "And now they work for me." "My name is Bev." "Good morning, lesbians." " Good morning, Bev." " Ladies." "I have a new mission for you." "It involves going under cover." "Okay, lesbians, what do you think?" "Sure sounds dangerous." "Are you sure it's not gonna ruin our hair?" "I promise you girls." "I won't let anything happen to your hair or makeup." " Helen?" " Count me in." " Bev..." " Well of course, we're in." "But are you sure these gaydar guns are really gonna work?" "Well, they'd better work because our target just entered the room." "Okay, lesbians, go get her." "Come on, girls." "Let's get her." " "Beatrocker" by Mad Professor " "Stay thrilled, she's still gone strong." "Oh, morning lazy asses." "Fuck off you freak." "How's it going, Shane?" "... since 5:30 A.M." "I gotta say it's going pretty well." "And all of this is because you sworn off sex?" "Yep." "And all the crap that goes along with it." " Yeah, sister." " Owe me." "I have declared a moratorium on one sex." "A moratorium on drama, and a moratorium on jealousy." "And a moratorium on girls throwing rocks through your windows" " or burning your shit down." " Yep." "What?" "Someone threw a rock through your window?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "It was one of the bridesmaids from the wedding." "No, I'm telling you." "I'm fucking done." "A few days ago, I've decided to take a major break from sex." "Thereby eliminating the main cause of insanity in my life." "And I gotta tell you, girls." "I have never, ever felt so freakishly clear-headed" " or highly energized." " Speaking of freakish," " look at Jenny's new assistant." " Hi!" "Well, you kinda have to admire her a little bit." "It's gross." "There is something wrong with that girl." "So, Denise seems nice." "You know, mortgage brokers make a lot of money." "We didn't have anything in common." "And I know, you're gonna say I'm a snob" " but I..." " Tina, honey, you are a snob." "I mean, come on!" "We love you!" "But you're a snob." "Alright." "We'll find someone more your style, someone like, I don't know, in the biz or..." "No, no, no." "I don't wanna go out with someone in the movie business." "Tina." "Picky, picky, picky." "Really." "Okay, we'll find you someone in the art world," " or art-adjacent." " That's important to you, am I right?" "It is." "You know what we should do?" "We should go on OurChart looking at some members' profiles." "Tina, don't look at me like that!" "I'm trying to help you." "Jesus Christ!" "Oh my god!" "I think I'm gonna vomit." "Damnit!" "He's so fucking cute!" "You see that guy over there?" "Jodi's interpretor?" "He hit on me the other day in the mensroom." " He's handsome." " So?" "Are you attracted to him?" "No, of course not." "It wouldn't be such an outlandish thing." " The last trans guy I dated..." " Look, I'm not into men." "The last trans guy I dated wasn't into men at all before he transitioned." "She was a gold-star butch lesbian." "I'm not a gold star, either." "Julie was." "Until she became Jake." "Jake turned out to be a gay man." "I heard this theory that what's genetically encoded in us isn't attraction to men or attraction to women, but it's same-sex attraction." "There you go." "Adele, do away with these sweaty things." "Thanks." "Wow, you have great abs." "Can I...?" "No, no, don't, don't, don't, just don't touch me today, please." " She's not gonna make it." " I don't think she's gonna make it." "Where did I put my keys?" "In your bag." "Hey look, the Pink Ride." "Oh, I'm doing it." " I'm training for it." " You are?" " Yes." " Maybe we should all do it." " You do what?" " It's called the Subaru Pink Ride and it's for breast cancer research." "I'm gonna do it." "I think it'll be great." "We should get a little team together." " We could be Team Dana." " I love it." " I love that." "Team Dana..." " Right?" "Yeah, and we can get Kit and Bette to do it with us." " We should ask Jodi as well." " And Jodi." " Yeah, but Jodi didn't know Dana." " Yeah, but, she has breasts, right?" "Good point." "You guys, you have to train for this." "It's so hard." "If you don't you're not gonna finish it." "What don't we get Tasha to train us?" "'Cause, I mean, she knows how to train." "Obviously." "I thought you said" "Tasha was going to Iraq." "I thought you said her unit was delayed." "Yeah, no." "They're just delayed." "I guess her equipment didn't come in or something." "I don't know." "It must happen all the time." "Ready?" "Let's go." " "Games" by Carla Thomas " "Thank you, ladies."

" Uh, so, several of my major donors are gonna be there." "What?" "We've been doing this for 11 years, and this was the first time" "I was ever gonna bring anyone." "Really?" "Fuck David Hockney." "I gotta run." "You, you watch yourself." "Don't get too personal." "Oh please, me?" "What?" "I'm so excited we're dealing this thing." "Thank you so much." "What "Fuck David Hockney"?" "She was trying to get out of going to Big Bear this weekend to meet a bunch of my old friends." " Really?" " And you didn't let her get away with it?" " Good for you." " She made a commitment." "Hey, Alice, we're gonna set up over here." "Shane and I just wanna show you a couple of profiles of girls that we think you should date." "Tina!" "There's nothing wrong with meeting someone on the internet." " Nothing." "Come on!" " It's weird." "It's weird." "T., you've gotta look at it this way." "It's less random than a blind date, and you can find all about the girl before you waste your time having lunch with her." "It's a really good point." "Hey, the hair." "Start the hair." "That makes total sense, Jodi said." "Do you mind if I join you?" "Oh my god!" "Get over here." "Okay." "So, I'll first limit it to the, you know, people that live in L.A., and then I will add potential art people." "How can we... the picture?" "Oh, by the way, somebody answers a question on their profile." "Like, favorite book, "Captain Corelli's Mandolin"." "It's good, promising." "Nancy Drew, not so much." " I love Nancy Drew." " Me too!" "Really?" "OK." "All right, Nancy Drew." "I mean, she is a lesbian icon." "That's a pretty slick-looking camera you've got there." "Yeah, it's a Panasonic TVX100." "It's amazing, actually." "You're gonna hook it up to the computer?" "We're recording of a fireware." "Yeah." "It makes it possible for us to record on to the computer's hard drive at the same time as we're recording on to the video camera." "I don't have the fucking slightest idea what you're talking about, but... sounds awesome." "How are you going to do her hair?" "I don't know yet." "Maybe something a little classy or sassy." "I don't know." "Maybe do you?" "Oh!" "Go back, go back!" "Her!" "What about her?" "She's good." "No, keep browsing." "What?" "Why?" "She's totally cute." "Yeah, I know she's cute." "But she's a little crazy in bed, if you know what I mean." "How do you know?" " Next." " Roll." "Come!" "I just got this from my C.O." "It's a chapter 15 discharge." "I know."

"First allegation:" "On march 2007, you were seen at the... with a group of women who are openly lesbian." "One of the women had her arm around your shoulder." "Second allegation:" "on march 2007, you were again seen just outside the... base with the same woman having what appeared to be" " a lovers' quarrel." " That's presumption." "Even if I had been seen, Brown made that charge and I personnaly know he has a grudge against me." "Well, the first allegation was made by a primary accuser." "Her name is not list in this document." "But the second incident was backed up by your commanding officer, Major" "Kevin Dickson, who's also witness to the event." "Go on." "There's an other allegation." "Let just hear that you showed a female soldier in your unit," "Anita Martinez, preferential treatment for job reclass vacation because you were romantically involved with her." " That's total bullshit." " Please, don't use..." "language," " would you mind, Officer Williams?" " It's a flat out lie." "Well, these are the allegations." "And they didn't come out of the blue." "There are some solid evidence you're backing them up." "And if it's not true, then it's on you to prove it." "And like it or not, that's the way this thing works."

"Yeah." "But, I wanna know..." "Well, some people like delicate sex." "Not me." "There's nothing worse than" " tentative, timid lesbian sex." " Right." "I would never be in one of those lesbian-bed-death relationships, where you just cuddle and, you know, say good night and go to sleep." "I have a teddy bear if I want to do that." " Yes!" " Uh, I was watching." "Was that lesbian?" "Is that lesbian?" "Lesbian?" "Oh, lesbian." "That?" "That is not sexy." "That's not sexy." "That?" " Is that more sexy?" " That is better." " Alright." " Much sexier." "How do you say cunnilungus?" "I made one up." "Is that cunninlingus?" " I would be good." " Pretty good." "Pretty close." "Well, my guess is just say "Lick my pussy"." "You could say that, couldn't you?" "I'll remember that." "No, you sworn off sex, remember?" "Yeah, yes, yes, I did, I did, I did." "I have a question." "How do you say fuck?" " Fuck you know, fuck you, obviously." " Oh, not fuck." "Fuck, you know." "This is, you know, to actually fuck, you do that if you wanna say "Fuck me, baby"." "Who says that to who?"

"And he wanted to be reclassified MOS42A so he could be home with them." "But Brown's lazy soldier." "He had a sub-standard score in aptitude area CL and he's not qualified to be a human resources specialist." "Specialist Martinez had two commendations scored in the top 1% in that aptitude area and it's discipline and hard working." "And I never touched her." "Except to comfort her over being upset about having to leave her little boy after we learnt that her unit was getting redeployed." "When you comforted her, did you hug her?" "Is that grounds for separation?" "Probably wouldn't be if you hadn't been seen holding hands with some girl at the racetrack." "I wanna stay in the service." "Should have thought of that before you decided to be a lesbian." "You know what?" "I'm gonna take that back." "I'm gonna assume you are not a lesbian because that's exactly what we're gonna have to prove if you wanna win this thing." "Let me clearify to you, Beech." "I never decided to become a lesbian."

"Let me tell you about the show that occurated last month at the Jacksonhall art center." "I mean, 'cause they were at least ten paintings that would every be as good as the Eric Fischl that you have in your collection." "What makes you so sure she's got an Eric Fischy?" "It's Fischl." "Eric Fischl?" "And I bet that she has one." "I doubt there were ten paintings in a local art show that were even comparable to my Fischl." "Be nice!" "I am, I am, I am!" "How can you doubt it?" "It just seems really unlikely that there are ten truely great paintings" " in a community show." " When was the last time that you've looked at art outside of New York or L.A.?"
