Helena had just came in so she missed the music. But she was very shocked to see Thelma Bates here, right now, at "The Planet", in West Hollywood. The people were ecstatic over Thelma Bates being at "The Planet". She came from London, England and she was making an impact in LA already. When she finished answering questions and taking requests, Thelma got to sit down with Kit and her friends.

Shane asked Kit, ‘How the hell could you keep this a secret from us? Just tell me how.’

Kit said, ‘It helps if the special guest in question pays you to keep your trap shut.’

Seeing as how British pounds could be exchanged for hard American cash, they didn’t see much point in asking how much it took.

Dana asked, ‘Why did you decide to come to LA?’

Thelma answered, ‘Why not? Many cultures are here in California. I’d like to start a new life and maybe with a little bit of each culture as part of it.’

Bette asked, ‘So it’s like a rebirth ceremony?’

Thelma answered, ‘Yes. Exactly.’

Helena said, ‘I’ve heard about those. Where you wipe the slate clean, so that you did nothing bad and nothing bad happened to you, and you get a fresh start? It’s like a Buddhist thing?’

Thelma said, ‘Absolutely, deary. Mmmm I love a woman with religion intelligence.’

Helena said, ‘I don’t know that I’d call it religion intelligence. I just went to English private schools and one of my teachers was a reformed Buddhist. Actually, Bette’s the primary Buddha here.’

Tina said, ‘She is.’ Not to embarrass Bette, Tina mentioned, ‘She even turned our first insemination into an incredible religious experience. I had to say "We honor you. All 75 million of you" before we got ready and got busy.’ Bette didn’t mind and she wasn’t embarrassed. The ceremony and the sex was one of the most romantic moments she had with Tina before Tina showed Bette the positive pregnancy test and Bette said ‘I Love You.’

Bette asked, ‘So what are you planning to absorb first; religion, sexuality, tv, politics?’

Thelma said, ‘Lord, no. What’s to understand about politics? The people we ellect turn out to be brain dead cheats and liars. You’d be better of with the people Ice Cube called hustler’s and thieves in "XXX: State of the Union". Atleast those bad guys were honest about thelmselves.’
