Cut back to:
Kit and The MANgus.
They've moved into the lounge and are having dinner.
MANgus is sitting on the floor, listing all the older women famous for
having younger boyfriends:
".....Susan Sarandon, Joan Collins, Mary Kay Letourneau...."
"Who's Mary Kay Letourneau" asks a curious Kit.
"The schoolteacher who had the affair with the 13 year old student..."
MANgus refreshes her memory.
"OH GREAT - SHE went to jail!" remembers Kit.
"YES, but she's OUT now and she and Vili are happily married with three
kids..." argues MANgus.
"NO WAY!" scolds Kit.
"WAY! - it is a happy ending......
.....and, I will wait for YOU while YOU'RE in jail!" states MANgus, sweetly.
LMAO! These two are a great double act! lol! ;-)
"I think it's meant to be Kit, why ya fightin' me?...."
"I don't really think you know what you're gettin' yourself into....." she
challenges him back.
"You don't KNOW me, you don't know ANYTHING about me!"
The MANGus then lists all the things he DOES know about her:
"you're gorgeous
I like ya a lot
when you sing it makes my Adam's apple do a Mexican hat dance
you're an ex-drunk
that you walked out on your son when he was a baby
you had a hit record in 1992
you lost yourself in a downward spiral of men and booze
you have a thriving business
10 new songs and a couple of covers you wanna record
and a BEAUTIFUL niece who squeals whenever you walk in the room!"
he finishes triumphantly.
"AND I'm going the menopause!" adds Kit mock-happily.
Which sorta throws Angus for a loop, leaving him sitting there open-mouthed
while Kit clears away the dinner dishes.
Awww poor chap. And he was doing SO well too! ;-)
Cut to:
Some city views of Washington, with some really inappropriate riot grrl rock
played over it, which ends just as we're greeted by the sight of Bette
sitting in front of the Senate hearing.
Seems they're waiting for Barbara Grisham to arrive.
The Senator sitting in session (Sen. Horsey) keeps referring to Bette as
"Miss Lord" (i.e. Julia, who it's SUPPOSED to be, but she had the bad back
and couldn't come, remember?!) and Bette keeps correcting him politely that
her name is Miss Porter.
I think I'll rename Senator Horsey, 'Senator Asshole', if no one objects?
No one?
No?
Good.
Let's continue *weg* ;-)
There's a little commotion as Barbara finally arrives and the press all
converge on her to get a comment.
I can't say I have ever heard of the actress who plays Sen. Grisham, i.e.
Dana Delany, but on imdb.com they have her listed as a guest star in a
forthcoming episode of Battlestar Galactica, which just happens to be MY
favourite program on TV (apart from Lost, and this show of course!), so,
she's damn ok by me folks! ;-)
Cut to:
Shane hanging out with her skater pals.
Carmen is lurking in the background, looking at the jewellery etc, and when
she takes a piece out of the case (leather thong necklace with a double
sabre-toothed design) Shane shouts over that it would look good on her.
Shane's skater guy friend (who, for the life of me, I can't remember or find
his name!) says he agrees and that Carmen should just take the piece.
Ooooh, lucky old Carmen ;-)
Shane and friend mumble about Carmen over a spliff - that she's miffed cause
she can't come to the opening party that evening etc
Shane's pal says there'll be other parties and they both agree Carmen should
mellow out a bit etc
Shane remembers that Dana is on tv playing a big game right then, so she
grabs Carmen and goes and turns on the tv that just happens to be set up at
the back of the skate shop place.
Cut to: Tina, all powerdressy in her office, using an office handsfree-phone
thingy (ooooh, VERY businesslike....)
She's doing her thang in the movie business when suddenly SHE remembers
about Dana's big game and goes over to her computer screen to turn it on
there.
I'm LOVING the painting Tina has behind her desk in her office btw.
If anyone can tell me who it's by, they may even glean a kiss from me! (Or
my undying gratitude - whichever is more acceptable....)
;-)
Helena comes in and asks if Tina's set up a meeting with Dylan yet. (smitten
MUCH!?)
"Next Tuesday at 3..." answers Tina
"NEXT TUESDAY?!!!!!" whines Helena, like a child who can't wait for
Christmas to come! lol!
"Why don't you just call and ask her out?" says Tina, rationally.
Helena is about to leave with a smile, when Tina urges Dana on, on her
computer screen.
Hearing this tempts Helena over to watch the match too.
"Wow. I've never seen her play" murmurs Helena, leaning over Tina's desk so
much that I almost get lost in her cleavage.
Nice place to get lost though, don't you think folks? ;-)
Oh and btw, Helena's right on there - how often HAVE we seen Dana play so
far during the 2 and a half seasons of this show that have been shown?
At my count, I think it's about 2 or 3 times, plus a couple of shots of her
practising.
I wonder, IS that because Erin Daniels isn't very good at mimicking tennis
shots?
OR, er, WHY exactly?
What's not to like about seeing Dana play on the show?
Long legs, short tennis skirts, drama on the court, the showers after?!
Ilene, you've been missing a goldmine sweetheart!
Trust me on that ;-)
At least we actually GET to see Bette doing her art thing, Shane cutting
hair, Carmen DJing etc on a regular basis.
Oh well.....
Cut back to:
Shane, Carmen etc watching Dana LITERALLY on the edge of their seats!
Dana makes a great shot and Shane is whooping and celebrating like she's won
the match already!
Cut to:
Lara, sitting in the crowd at the match, with (blech!) Dana's mom.
Dana's mom thinks her daughter is doing extremely well.
