Bette: “Hey T… naa” (‘Where the ***** did that come from?’ she thought)

Tina: (snapped back at reality by bette’s words, not hearing Bette’s slip) “Uh… yes?”

Bette: “Did I make you feel uncomfortable?”

Tina: “Why do you say that?”(trying to hide the obvious)

Bette: “Because you haven’t said a word since I  said that”

Tina: (blushing a little, she is so busted) “Er… uh… It’s just that… I.. I was thinking about other things…”

Bette: Really?(‘yeah right’ Bette thought)

Tina: “Really”(please don’t ask what other things’)

Bette decided not to give her a hard time, she would save it for later…Instead, she remained silent.

Tina: “Why did you said that anyway?”

Bette: “You asked me to tell you the truth”

Tina: “So, what were you thinking?”

Bette: “I already told you, I was thinking about you”(she looks at Tin and keeps talking) “I was thinking that there were so much things I wanted to know about you”

Tina: “Like what?”

Bette: “A lot of things. I wat to know what makes you happy, what upsets you, how do you drink your coffee, what tastes do you have. Hey, I’ve got an idea, let’s play a game, like a ping-pong with questions, but you have to be honest, wanna play?

Tina: (pretending to be hesitating) “I don’t know, will you be honest?”

Bette: “I wouldn’t lie to you(displaying a million dollar smile but feeling a little guilty because she can’t be totally honest with Tina)

Tina: “OK, I guess I’ll have to say yes. Can I start?

Bette: “Sure. Shoot”

Tina: “Age?”

Bette: “Already told you, 31. brothers or sisters?”

Tina: “One younger sister and an older brother. Same question…?”

Bette: “One older half-sister. Food?”

Tina: “Seafood, writer?”

Bette: “Coelho, place?”

Tina: “the beach, sleepyhead?”

Bette: (Before answering her question, she thinks ‘lucky me, seafood and the beach)”Guilty, coffee?”

Tina: “Everyday, smoker?”

Bette: “Not since I was in college, movie?”

Tina: “La vita Bella, mus–”

Bette: “Really? That’s mine too!”(thinking ‘remember that, Porter, you’ll need it some other day)Music?”

Tina doesn’t answer right away, Bette looks at her, concerned
