Ivan: No problem Kit, I’m here for you.
Kit: I’m just so worried.
Ivan: Don’t worry, it’ll be ruled an accident, we’ll rebuild. The Planet will be as good as new, better than new.
Kit: I hope we can salvage most of the building it’s really the kitchen that’s a total loss.

Tina: She needs to be breastfed.
Bette: I’ll use one of the bottles in the fridge you can pump later.
[Bette takes Angelica and exits to the bedroom. Tina and her mother get up and start clearing the table.]
Maggie: Bette and Angelica certainly seem very attached to each other. I don’t think Bette puts her down for a second.
Tina: Well, Bette is her mother and since I’ve gone back to work Bette gets to take see her and take care of her a lot more than I do. After Melvin died.
Maggie: [Interrupting Tina.] Tina, you are the mother and some man you hardly know is the father, Bette is not the mother.
Tina: Mom, that’s not true and as soon as the 2nd parent adoption goes through Bette will also legally be Angelica’s mother.
Maggie: Tina, why don’t you sit down?
Tina: [Gives her mom a questioning look.] Okay
Maggie: I have something I want to tell you. I didn’t only come here to see you and the baby. There’s a ***** rights bill before the State Senate and I’m here to lobby against it.
Tina: Are you kidding me? [Tina starts to raise her voice.] You flew out here on a plane ticket I paid for not meet your grandchild or see your daughter but to prevent me and my family from having the same rights that everyone else in this country is entitled to?? Excuse me.
[Tina leaves the room.]
Maggie is left sitting at the table by herself.

Scene 8 Cont’d Bette & Tina’s House
Bette comes out and finds Maggie in the kitchen putting dishes in the dishwasher.
Bette: Maggie, stop doing the dishes. I have something I need to tell you.
[Maggie stops doing the dishes and turns to face Bette.]
I have made a reservation at a hotel and either you can take a cab or if you prefer I can drive you myself so you may want to go and pack your bag.
Maggie: This is all your fault.
Bette: Tina and I made this decision together. It’s not my fault you took an opportunity to show your daughter that you love her and threw it out the window.
Maggie: That’s not what I meant and you know it. Tina was a nice, normal girl until you got your hands on her. Now she is living in sin, has had a black man’s child out of wedlock and is going to end up in *****. She could have had a good life with Eric. I rue the day he ever set foot in your gallery, you invited them to those artist dinners with only one thing in mind, I know it and you know it.
Bette: I’m sorry you feel that way. [Bette turns to leave the room and half under her breath says] Have you ever met Faye Buckley?
Maggie: What?
Bette: Forget it. Just let me know when you are ready to leave.
End Scene.
