Not Tonight: They return to the table, their seats've been taken by
Joyce and Phyllis. This has gotta be a super-fun night for JoBette, they'll
probs have a few fight-free days following this, because being in the
presence of someone else's catastrophe is really bonding, it's like living
through a hurricane together or being in war, like Tasha was, except she
calls it "action," which's HOT HOT HOT. No biggie: Tasha and Alice are
heading home because they wanna fuck each other. I mean, that's not what
they said, that's just what happened in my imagination. Jodi apologizes and
Tasha says "It's okay, you didn't do anything." That's Passive-Aggressive
for "It's Alice's fault."
Awkward, Party
of Two : Joyce is getting a little ridic and making everyone squirm when
she brags -- "This one over here can't wait to get between the sheets. I
told her we need to spend more time with other people. You know -- spread
the love!" Right-o. Phyllis is actually REALLY interested in spending time
with other people, p.s. When Joyce gets Phyllis another drink, Phyllis asks
Bette to "HELP ME!" Phyllis is lesbian handicapped. She can't do anything
without council. But clearly this is a nod to Alice asking Bette to help her
get away from Phyllis in Season Four. What goes around comes around.

Jenny: "Do you know you're the only man in my life?"
Inconceivable: "Well someone would have to be. I'm very glad it's
me."
Jenny: "I had the most amazing experience today. This woman came up
to me and said that my book saved her life. And I think that our movie's
gonna have an impact on people."
Inconceivable: "I know it is."
Jenny: "Do you?"
Inconceivable: "I know it is."

This is SOOOO Blog-Worthy!: "That's so sweet I think I might puke,"
Tina says. Adele says she thinks it's wonderful that a man who spent his
whole life plundering for wealth is going to change the world through art.
On that note, Tina is busting this pop stand.

Who Wants the Funk, Give Up That Funk: Bette and Jodi are having the
sleepover fight! The sleepoverrrr fight! I love this one. Actually ... I
don't, that's why "girls who live with their parents and therefore will
always stay at my place" is my "type." I like to sleep in my own bed, 'cause
it's the most comfortable bed on earth. Anyhow! Um, I'll let these
screencaps speak for themselves, since obvs Jodi won't be speaking for them.
(JK! Love deaf people! Also JKing about only dating people who live w/their
parents.)
When they exit the restaurant, Bette gives Phyllis the same advice she gave
Alice (re: Phyllis) in one of Season Four's Greatest Episodes EVER, "Luck be
a Lady." For that episode, I asked everyone to vote for their quote of the
week and this came in second, but I really liked it. Phyllis tells Bette she
already broke up with Joyce (just like Bette said to Alice about Phyllis
last year):
QUOTE OF THE WEEK : "Do it again, Phyllis. Some lesbians; you have to
break up with them more than once."
