Bette: Helena, you’ve done an amazing job, I’m so proud of you, congratulations.

Helena: Well that means a lot coming from you Bette, thank you. Thank you very much.

Peggy: Bette our girls have done an amazing job, haven’t they?

Bette: Absolutely. I was just telling Helena that and I’m really glad they’ve worked out a way to keep it going even with Tina being based in New York now.

Tina: Did I just hear my name?

Peggy: All good things my dear.

The party kicks into high gear with a full dance floor, lots of great food and drinks.

Tina: I think we’ve done this long enough, let’s get out of here.

Bette: Do you want me to grab the girls?

Tina: Just ask Jean and Kit to see to it that Shane and Carmen get home and then I want you to myself.

Tina’s wish is granted and soon she and Bette are off into the Los Angeles night. Tina has directed the driver to take them to the Catalina on W. Sunset for some late night jazz and light bites. Tina has come to enjoy Bette’s reconnection to live jazz and she too now appreciates the intimacy of the music and often the spaces and service they received at these venues. Even though they were back in LA and among those they loved and missed dearly, she still wanted a chance to be alone with the one she loved better than all the rest.

Bette: This is a wonderful place T, thanks.

Tina: You’re welcome baby. I’m glad you like it and let me steal some us time away from the family this weekend.

Bette orders a bottle of wine and Tina selects an assortment of appetizers that they share during the show.

Bette: Now that the movie has launched, how do you feel?

Tina: Actually, I’m both relieved and excited. I think this one has a chance to do well and it is always nice to be done with a project. The marketing team owns it from here on out, so my work really is done. Helena and I have agreed to retain the production teams for both films. Robert has really come a long way.

Bette: It’s always rewarding to see growth in an employee. Congratulations for getting him to step up his game.
