I can see that. Billie Jean did more for women's tennis than just about any
other player.
Without her tireless efforts, women would still be an unpaid sideshow to the
main event of the men's game.
I think I'd cite Martina Navratilova as a hero of mine though. But mostly
because Billie Jean is just tad before my time.
Other heroes of mine would include such luminaries as Jim Henson, Isaac
Asimov and Eddie Izzard.
But I digress......
Cut back to: The Planet.
Where a blonde waiter guy is busy spilling a drink all over the table where
his customer is sitting.
"Isn't he cute!" states Billie (Blaikie, NOT Jean still! lol!)
He, Kit and Bette (with Angelica) are sitting watching Mr Clumsy work.
Billie postulates on whether the waiter is a vegan, and ergo, what his cum
would taste like. (EWWWWW!)
Bette sits and makes faces at everything Billie says, adding "He's totally
unqualified!"
Kit mentions that Billie is just giving the guy a chance.
Bette bitches that Billie just wants to find out what Mr Clumsy EATS.
"OOK darlin', I DO NOT need to give people JOBS to find out about their
culinary habits!
Talking of which, when's the last time YOU ATE OUT?!"
MEEEEEOW! lol!
(Billie WASN'T talking to Bette about FOOD there btw....wink wink, nudge
nudge....)
Just then Bette gets a call on her cell (or mobile phone, as we like to call
it here in the UK) and wanders off to take it.
Leaving Kit to moan to Billie:
"PLEASE tell me you're not gonna fuck him! I DO NOT need a lawsuit!"
Billie: "I am NOT gonna fuck him!
I don't even WANT to fuck him!
His beauty holds NO mystery for me...."
LOL! Some love him, some hate him, but I have to say, I do like Mr Blaikie
;-)
He adds a somewhat theatrical aspect to the show. Plus, he's very funny and
OTT!
In come Jenny and Moira just then.
Billie takes one look at Moira (in her men's jacket, camo baseball cap and
handsome, angular features) and immediately concludes the following:
"HE, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter....."
Oh quell surprise - Billie mistook Moira for a guy.
Cut to: Moira and Jenny talking.
Moira isn't sure she wants to be in The Planet. She doesn't think she 'fits
in'.
Jenny says it's fine though, as everyone there is her friend and they hang
out all the time.
Bette returns just then from her phone call.
Seemingly Julia (remember her from the other week?) is in the hospital with
a bad back.
Which WOULD be ok, except she was supposed to testify in front of the
"Senate hearing in Washington tomorrow, about the dispersement of N.E.A.
grants..."
So instead, Bette may have to go in her place.
Jenny and girlfriend come over at that moment, just as Bette leaves.
"Hello" says Jenny.
"Hey" says Billie.
"Is it ok if Moira hangs out here until I start my shift?" asks Jenny.
Billie's face falls a mile as soon as the mysterious 'guy' is introduced as
Moira.
Maybe you should carry on pursuing Mr Clumsy, eh Billie? ;-)
Kit says it's fine and Billie and Moira chat a bit.
Moira is cute in a shy way and Billie tries to charm her as ever after Jenny
says her girlfriend is looking for a job and is an IT specialist.
Cut to:
Ruth.
Ah the lovely and comical Ruth from last week!
Yummy!
*rubs hands in glee and sits back to watch another Ruthy/Alice scene*
Ruth is going through ideas for the show that Alice has written down on
individual bits of paper.
She poo-poos the idea of doing a piece about The Little Black Dress on
fashion.
Alice, obviously trying hard NOT to mention Dana to Ruth, immediately starts
talking about her ex-girlfriend's bad fashion sense and basically everything
else Dana-ish......
"ALICE!" scolds Ruth, bringing Alice back to the point at hand.
Alice comes up with an idea about the "evolution of the pant suit!"
Ruth enquires what the hell THAT has to do with 'The Chart'.
Alice prompts her to look at her last idea.
Ruth: "You wanna read a CHILDREN'S book on air?!"
" 'If You Give A Pig A Pancake' - it's my Earth-Daughter, Angelica's,
favourite....." replies Alice, as if to answer ALL Ruth's questions in one
easy go.
Ruth looks sufficiently unconvinced, so Alice goes off on one of her
patented rambling monologues about how "it's all about interconnectivity,
because if you DO give a pig a pancake, and she wants SYRUP to go with
it......" and after that part she loses me somewhat, and I guess I'm as
confused as Ruth is, as she stands there trying very hard NOT to blow her
top at Alice!
In her defence, Alice IS hilarious again in this scene, and no matter how
hard I tried to describe it, I wouldn't be able to do it justice.
In the end Alice gives up with her explanation, and just adds that she WILL
have more ideas by the next day and she WILL figure out something to talk
about on her show etc.
Ruth simply looks at her with disdain and walks off.
As soon as she's gone, Alice mutters to herself incredulously:
"give a pig a fucking pancake!?" as if to say "why the hell did I come out
with THAT!?"
LOL! Leisha, as ever, is comedy gold ;-)
Cut back to: Moira and Billie sitting in The Planet.
They're just kinda sitting and glancing at each other.
Moira's still shy and not sure what to say and Billie is still obviously
fascinated by her.
"I'm having a little party at my place tonight" says Billie suddenly "you
should come...."
Moira's not sure, but Billie continues:
"Just some friends......
people like US......
some have changed their bodies to match up to their brains....
and a few have changed their brains to match up to their bodies"
Moira looks sideways at him. As if he's said something wrong, or something
he shouldn't understand at all.
Something even SHE doesn't fully understand.
"You should bring Jenny and come along" he concludes.
"I'm not really sure I know what you're talkin' about" says Moira, slightly
confused.
"Don't worry handsome" says Billie, "they're good people, you'll have fun"
Moira still looks bashful and unsure.
