The camera zooms out  from Bette’s face and then with the patio doors as the backdrop. Both are in the shot..

Bette looks stunned for a moment and then looks down and then back up at Tina.

Bette is crying now and speaks quietly.

The camera pans back and forth between the two. 

Bette: (Indignant)  I’m not fucking anyone.

Tina  at Bette for a few moments then recognizes that Bette is telling the truth but is still convinced that a woman is behind Bettes strange behavior.

Tina:  Ok, maybe you haven’t fucked her yet but you want to.

Bette is silent for a moment then raises tear filled eyes to Tina:

Queue music “Long Long way to go” by Phil Collins.  Comes in background softly at first with “Why am I sitting here trying to think of things to say……..”

Bette:    At one time I wanted to fuck her but I don’t know if I still do. She’s an old college friend who owns the new gallery where Jody’s work is being featured. (Pause, Bette looks down) I just never thought I would see her again and I’m trying to decide how I feel about it.

Tina looks at Bette sadly.  

 Tina:  I take it you and she were more than casual friends.

Bette raises her eyes to Tina in a plea for understanding.

Bette: Well no, I mean she was straight. (Lets out a breath) She turned me down.

Tina is silent for a moment just staring at Bette.

Tina:  The one who got away?

Bette: (nodding yes)  She isn’t straight now. But please believe me, I have no intention of hooking up with her.

Tina:  ( Cold/bitter) Oh! You mean like you had no intention of fucking Candace?

Bette: (Angry) that’s uncalled for! Will you ever let that go? Will you hold that over my head forever?

Tina: (Spoken softly while tearing up) I’m sorry, that was uncalled for but Bette, I can’t take it anymore.  What’s wrong with me that you have a need to fuck other women, past and present?  Am I not enough for you?

Bette jumps up from the chair and tries to hold her.  She pushes Bette away and turns to run out. She takes a step then stops and turns around. Meanwhile Bette is crying out.
