Cut to:
MANgus and Kit, the morning after.
"I love you" says MANgus, as they lie in bed together.
"Do you know how many men have said that RIGHT after they did what you just
did?" says Kit playfully.
Kit goes on to say that all the other guys have left, but MANgus tries to
make her see that he does indeed love her.
He KNOWS how he feels.
Kit isn't so sure and says so.
MANgus still tries his best to make her see that he's serious about her, but
Kit is still trying to play it all down.
"So, I'm just your boy toy is that it?"
"Would that be so bad?" answers Kit, honestly.
But MANgus doesn't want to be just a roll in the hay.
Kit sits there wrapped in the bed sheets and shakes her head, confused that
this one guy just wont seem to love her and leave, like all the others have
done in her life!
Cut to:
Alice's place, where Janice the lovely lesbian cleaner is still doing her
stuff.
In breezes Ms Pieszecki and asks her lovely cleaner to dispose of the Dana
standee that she's been holding on to all this time.
It seems that being bitten by Uta the vamp last week has done our Alice the
power of good, as she swaggers down her hall, practically a new woman!
Cut to:
Dana and Lara, packing for Dana's stay in hospital.
Dana isn't handling having cancer very well, but then, how DO you handle
having cancer?
Everyone handles it differently - so internalize their anger, some take it
out on others.
Unfortunately for Lara, Dana seems to be taking the latter of those routes.
No matter what Lara does for Dana, it's not right or good enough etc.
Dana is bitter and angry and scared and a myriad of other things besides.
Lara is trying to be there for her, to be supportive and loving, but Dana is
making it hard for her.
She's demanding and bitter. She tries to push Lara away constantly and so
far Lara has taken it.
But for how much longer?
Lara finishes the packing and sees how scared Dana is.
She goes over and holds her.
Cut to:
Jenny waitressing at The Planet while Billie looks on, trying to hurry her
up.
In comes a woman whom Billie greets as a customer, but as soon as Jenny sees
who is it they are greeting each other as friends and when Billie tries to
give Jenny a dish of food to take to a customer, Jenny thinks he's giving it
to her and her friend and tells him they're going over to a table to sit
down and talk!
Billie's face is priceless at that! ;-)
Turns out that the woman is a publisher Jenny sent her manuscript to.
AND it turns out that she wants to publish Jenny's book, NEXT FALL!
(Yes, in the strange world of Ilene Chaiken, Jenny CAN get published!)
Jenny, unsurprisingly, sits there gob smacked in shock.
"Are you serious?!" she challenges her publisher.
But she is indeed deadly serious.
Publisher Woman wants to know how much of the book is true.
Turns out she wants to send Jenny on a book tour and wants to know if she'd
be ok with talking about her experiences.
Basically, she thinks the book should be changed to more of an autobiography
instead of a fictional novel.
"In today's climate, survivor memoirs have a much better chance of breaking
out and reaching an audience".
Just then Billie comes over and demands Jenny get back to work.
Obviously Jenny has no intention of just leaving this important
conversation, and so when Billie calls over Kit to sort of Jenny's
inactivity with her waitressing apron, Jenny introduces her to her
publisher, "Jan Martin", pushing the point that Jan has flown in especially
to talk to her about her novel.
To his credit, Billie looks a bit gob smacked at that choice bit of
information. lol!
Yep Billie, your new waitress has hidden depths! ;-)
Kit ushers Billie away, saying he can handle the customers for the moment,
and Billie, indignant about being reduced to the level of waiter, protests
as he goes. I love Billie and Kit moments, don't you folks! They're like a
couple of kids ;-)
Jenny wants to know from Jan how much of the content of her novel she'd have
to change.
Jan says not all that much, plus, she's giving her one of their most
talented editors to work with.
Then she gives her an envelope containing half of her advance for the novel.
Jenny opens the envelope, and very calmly asks Jan if she'll excuse her for
a second.
She takes about 4 steps away from the table and then bursts into screams and
shouts of "OHMYGAWDOHMYGAWD! I'M SO HAPPY I'M SO HAPPY!" dancing about like
a lottery winner!
Ooooh, I wonder how much the cheque was for?
;-)
