The Planet
Kit (smiling as Angie came running to her): Were you good Boo?
Peggy (nodding): Just as her name suggests. Someone,I think her name was Papi I think. My goodness…
Kit (kissing Angie on the cheek): She’s harmless I promise.
Peggy (gabbing her purse and keys): You have such an interesting group of friends. Well I’m off. Oh where’s my errant daughter.
Kit (sitting down and watching Angie as she played with her trucks): With Bette and Tina.
Peggy (smiling): I’ll call Bette then. Have a good day. Bye Angel.
Angie (waving): Bye Noni.

Bette and Tina’s House
Tina (putting her hand on Bette’s arm): Come on I want to take a look at you….
Bette (moving out of Tina’s reach): I’m fine…
Helena (leaning against the counter): Bette why don’t you take a hot shower and I’ll make us something to eat and when you get out Tina can just check you over to make sure you’re okay and don’t need to go to the hospital.
Bette (snapping): I told you already I’m fucking fine…
Tina (putting her hands up): Baby we’re just concerned…
Bette (exasperated): Like you were last night…
Tina (trying to calm Bette who was clutching the counter): Bette I needed a friend…
Helena (realizing there was more to this than Tina was realizing): Bette, darling we sat and talked. That’s all, well I mean we did have…
Bette (looking at them both): I don’t want excuses I want answers (glaring at Helena.)
Helena (gulping and backing into the counter opposite of Bette): Bette what are you talking about love.
Tina (trying to keep calm): Bette listen, you’ve had a rough couple of days. Go take a shower and then get something to drink and then we’ll go sit in the living room or outside and talk about…
Bette (angrily): Talk about what. About all the bullshit I hear about. (Clenching her fists) then you have the audacity to accuse me of breaking a promise to you because of some video that you watched…
Helena (interrupting): Bette, why…
Bette (slamming her hand on the counter): And you didn’t even want to hear what I had to say.
Tina (biting her bottom lip): I’m sorry. I was wrong I should have been more rational about things but this past week has been a little trying…
Helena (sitting in a chair): I think that’s the understatement of the century darling.
Bette (throwing her hands up): Would you both just please…
Tina (putting her hands on Bette’s arms; feeling the tension; feeling the energy rolling off in waves): Baby. Calm down please…
Bette (frustrated): I don’t want to calm down. I want you both to tell me yes or no…
Tina (confused): Yes or no what…
Bette (glaring at them both): Did you sleep together last year? Did you fuck one another? And what about last night? (Looking at Tina) did she offer comfort by way of…
Tina (wide eyed; angry at the accusation of last night): Bette don’t. I swear nothing happened with Helena and I last night…
Bette (running her fingers through her hair): And I’m supposed to believe that…
Helena (standing up): Yes. Because I know you two belong. I know that the love you two share is stronger then anything I’ve ever seen…
Tina (shaking her head): I thought you had more faith in me than that. What the hell are you thinking?
Bette (angrily): I do it’s just….
Helena (interrupting): You two need to talk about…
Bette (shaking her head; laughing): And why the hell did you try so hard when we first met to win and seduce Tina if you knew this…
Tina (throwing up her hands): Bette..
Helena (rubbing her face): Because I was an ass and put my own needs first.
Tina (giving up): I’m going to change. I’m not going to stand here and listen to you two argue back and forth over something that happened in the past. (Giving Bette a dirty look) we need to move past this baby (storming out of the kitchen.)
Helena (looking at Bette who looked like she wanted to kill something or someone): Well she’s right. And I thought we were past this.
Bette (rolling her eyes): Not when you try to fuck her again.
Helena (disbelieving): What?
Bette (folding her arms across her chest): Come on. I’m not stupid. She’s a very beautiful woman and last night would have been the prefect opportunity for you to seduce her. After all the shit she’s been through because of me.
Helena (rubbing the back of her neck): Bette she loves you. I swear to you on my kids that nothing happened last night(pausing.) And this shit wasn’t your fault. None of it was. Some women can’t take rejection.
Bette (shifting; letting what Helena said slide, for now): So tell me where you two together last year…
Helena (swallowing hard): Well whatever his name was, wasn’t doing it for her so…
