Jenny is having a session with her Psychiatrist played by Bebe Neuwirth.

Dr. Phillips:  So Jenny, how are you doing?

Jenny:  I’m doing okay, I guess.  It’s good to be back, it was hard to be at home and deal with the patriarchal bullshit of my family.

Dr. Phillips:  Are you sleeping through the night?

Jenny:  Well, I keep having this weird dream.  I’m driving on a deserted road surrounded by corn fields and then I’m blinded by this light, and the car loses power so I pull over and the next thing I know I’m strapped down on this table and these alien-like beings are probing my body and my brain, it’s like they can see my thoughts.

Dr. Phillips:  Sometimes the medication gives people nightmares or vivid dreams, we could adjust the dose or try a new medication.

Jenny:  I don’t know it seems so real

Dr. Phillips:  I know, but it’s a common side effect of the medication, trust me, let’s reduce the dosage and see if the nightmares stop, if not we’ll try something else.  How does that sound?

Jenny:  Okay

Scene 6

Location: Bette & Tina’s House

Tina and her mom are coming into the house.  Bette is there to welcome them.

Bette:  Hello Maggie.  Welcome to our home.  [Bette bends down to the stroller and unbuckles Angelica and lifts her out.]

How’s my little Angel doing?  Did you miss your mommy B?  [Bette showers Angelica with kisses and dances with her around living room.]

Tina:  Mom, why don’t I take your bag, I’ll show you where your room is.

[Tina takes Maggie into the nursery the crib has been moved into the corner to make room for the bed.  When Maggie sees the glass mobile and the crib she makes an alarmed face that Tina sees.]
   
Don’t worry, Angelica will sleep with us, she sleeps with us all the time anyway.

Can I get you something to drink?

Maggie:  [Gives Tina a stern look.] You know I don’t drink alcohol and since you are nursing a baby I hope you aren’t either.

Tina:  Mom, I know, I meant sparkling water or tea.

Maggie:  Well, some tea might be nice.

Tina:  Great, why don’t you make yourself comfortable and unpack or get acquainted with Angelica while I make us some tea.

[Tina goes about making tea and putting together a tray of snacks.  Bette is holding Angelica and giving Maggie a tour of the house and pointing out the work of different artists.]

[Tina brings in a tray and puts it on the round table and calls them over to the table. She hands her mother a mug of tea and puts one in front of Bette.  Angelica is getting cranky.]

Tina:  Babe, why don’t you let me take Angelica?  [Tina takes Angelica from Bette.]  Are you hungry my little Angel?  [Tina starts to unbutton her shirt.]

Maggie:  Tina, what are you doing?

Tina:  Feeding the baby.

Maggie:  Don’t you think that’s something you should do in private?
 
Tina:  Mom, there’s nothing wrong with breast-feeding it’s perfectly natural and we aren’t exactly on public display, I’m in my own living room.

Maggie:  Well in my day you didn’t just whip out your breast after putting tea on the table for a guest, it just isn’t polite.

Tina:  If it makes you more comfortable, I’ll go and feed her our bedroom.

Tina gets up and walks out of the room with Angelica in her arms.

Maggie:  Bette you certainly have an unusual collection of art.  Are you sure that painting (pointing to the painting of the girl who is putting her hand in her panties) and those photographs (some are of nude women) are appropriate for a child to see?
