Capitulation Part II
Tina
Why did you want to settle so quickly?
Bette
(takes a long breath and a long sip from her glass).
It just seemed better for everyone that way. The longer it dragged out, the more it would hurt you, our friends. I thought that I should expedite the process so that everyone could start to heal.
Tina
(softly, still looking at her hands)
It wasnt because youre ready to move on?
Bette
No, T. I just wanted to spare everyone as much pain as possible. That is the least that I could do for you.
Tina
Everybody misses you, you know?
Bette
I suspect that they are able to cope without the benefit of my wisdom.
Tina
Youve lost enough, Bette. You dont have to lose your friends too.
Bette
Right now, you need them more than I do, T.
Tina
Maybe they need both of us, Bette.
Bette
Im okay, T. I suspect our friends are, also.
Tina
(looks down at her hands again)
I miss you, too, Bette.
Bette
I heard that you were dating.
Tina
How did you hear?
Bette
Helena told me when she was at the CAC.
Tina
I havent told anyone else, yet. Weve just gone out a few times, nothing serious.
Bette
She seems excited about the baby.
Tina
(softly) Yeah. Listen, uh, I should go. I just wanted to see if you were okay.
Bette
Thanks, T. It was good to see you.
Tina
(stands)
Yeah, it was good to see you, too Bette.
(Bette watches as Tina exits through the gate. She picks up her glass, drinks from it and then starts staring into space).
INT: THE PLANET: DAY
Alice approaches the table at which Shane and Dana are already sitting.
Alice
Big news, you guys. Tina is dating.
Dana
How do you know that?
Alice
I have my sources who saw her on a date.
Shane
Are you sure, maybe it was a work meeting.
Alice
Trust me, from what I heard it was a date. Some people actually have real dates.
Dana
Tinas dating already. Some people start dating awfully quick, even before they know what they are doing.
Shane
Man, Bette is going to be like, totally hurt when she finds out.
Dana
I wonder who Tina is going out with? Is she seeing a friend? Seeing a friend could be trouble (pause) but in a good way, maybe.
