Cut back to:
Shane sitting outside smoking a fag and reading a paper.
In a rather humorous moment, Carmen comes out onto the deck where Shane is
sitting, and she's reading from a huge dictionary:
"OK, we're talkin MONOGAMY:
it is a noun
and it is the condition or practice of having a mate during a period of
time...."
"I get it Carmen" says Shane, wishing it was all over already.
"Wait a minute" says Carmen "I just wanna make sure you and I both know what
we're talking about here....
Oh, listen to this: monogamy is common among birds!"
"That's great, I love birds" says Shane, wondering where this is all
leading.
Carmen goes on about the definition of the word monogamy and Shane says she
wants to give it a try, and that doesn't that mean something? THAT she's
willing to try something that doesn't come naturally to her?
By this time, Carmen has picked up the fire extinguisher that was standing
on a nearby table.
Shane does NOT like the look of that.
"I'm talking about a goddamn fucking bird Shane! I'm asking you to be as
civilized as a goddamn fucking bird!"
Shane warns Carmen not to do it, but Carmen is already shaking the
extinguisher with a minxy look in her eye.
Then suddenly she lets it loose on Shane and Katherine Moennig disappears in
a cloud of dry powder with an "ARGH!"
LMAO! Nice one Carmen de la Pica di Morales! ;-)
In comes Alice right then, with a "Knock knock!"
She takes a look at the scene - Shane covered in white powder, like a
naughty dog who's been sprayed with a water hose - and adds a "Hi weirdoes!"
Now THAT'S the sort of little gem of a line that makes this show still worth
watching if you ask me.
Y'know, the kind of throwaway stuff that friends say to each other every
day! lol!
Alice sees Carmen with the extinguisher and Shane covered in white and says
to Carmen "Still trying to get her to quit smoking?"
LMAO! LMFAO!
Genius ;-)
Carmen adds they were just having a little chat about monogamy, and Shane
asks Alice if birds DO mate for life.
Alice says sure and asks Carmen if she knows anything about bats.
Carmen says no and Alice gets to use the line, "too bad, cause I got
bitten!" and shows off her neck where Uta bit her during sex.
"OH MY GAWD!" says Carmen taking a closer look.
"Don't be jealous" says Alice
"But don't laugh, cause I could really be one of the undead in like two
days! And do my eyes look a little black?!"
Carmen laughs and tells Alice she got 'Embraced', i.e. when you get seduced
by someone from a lesbian vampire goth cult, they take you home, fuck you
blind and bite your neck etc.
Alice identifies with the "fuck you blind" line, saying, "you DON'T even
know! It was like the best sex I've ever had! I came like 9 thousand
times....." and she sounds rightfully pleased with herself.
Shane, still sulking, all powdery in her chair, says nothing, so Alice
repeats it for her, "D'hear that Shane? Like 9 thousand orgasms!"
"That's fantastic Alice" replies Shane, deadpan. LMAO!
Alice says when she got home she threw away the cutout standee of Dana, and
Carmen congratulates her on doing so.
"So, er, I'm going to Slater-Kinneay tonight with Uta, you guys coming?"
asks Alice
"I don't know, are we?" says Shane, to Carmen. Ahhh it's so nice when the
femme is in charge isn't it
;-)
"Only if you manage to clean up your act by then" says Carmen, seriously.
"Yeah Shane, you really should quit smoking, it's gross...."
Poor Shane just sits there and looks at the two women badgering her.
Cut back to:
Tina, Helena, Dylan and Danny all sitting around.
Tina and Helena are busy looking over some paperwork and Dylan and Danny are
sitting patiently.
Dylan slyly moves her foot over and touches Helena's, causing the other
woman to jump slightly and their eyes meet.
Seems there's some conflict over the final cut of the movie, and Tina is
about to say they can't possibly let Dylan have final say over that, when
Helena butts in, saying they wouldn't dream of taking away Dylan's control
over the final cut.
Tina isn't very happy about that but Danny is overjoyed.
Cut to:
Shane in the shower (calm down ladies, she's behind a shower curtain and you
only see her naked back mostly!)
In comes Carmen and uses the sink.
(Oh, oh, I lied! There's a boobie and a pert Moennig-nipple there folks!)
In the mirror at the sink we see Shane in reflection in the shower as she
starts to speak, heartfeltedly.
"Carmen?"
"Yeah?"
"I made a mistake, and I can't say that it wont happen again without being a
fuckup and a liar....."
She moves the shower curtain aside and carries on, her voice cracking with
emotion.
"But I wanna try.....you're the first person I wanna make, I wanna make that
promise to"
Upon hearing that, Carmen immediately takes off her clothes and gets into
the shower with Shane, where the two embrace.
Carmen sobs and Shane repeats that she's sorry over and over.
What a lovely scene, and so beautifully acted too.
