“Would you like our 7 year warranty? It provides…” the clerk was continuing the sale, but could not help watching Bette out of the corner of his eye.
“No.”
“We have a five year plan…”
“NO.” Tina barked, “No warranties. Sorry. “
Bette’s noise had attracted the store manager.
“Ladies, may I help you?” he said, though his tone was not that of someone who actually wanted to be helpful.
When Bette looked up, she saw Tina glancing at the clock and in panic mode.
Bette stood up and reached her hand out to the manager.
“Bette Porter, Mr.” she had spotted his name the second she looked up, “Riccio. I am sorry that I’m making such a mess. I will be happy to clean it up in a few minutes, she smiled.
Bette was in full-out. all charm al the time, mode and poor Mr, Riccio would soon be helpless. She had made a quick assessment before she continued, but went with her instinct.
Bette tilted her head towards Tina, “My lover, Tina” Bette saw the manager’s pupils widen. and he took a quick glance at Tina. (“asshole,” Bette though), “has to watch the Barbara Walters special that starts in 8 minutes, and she is staying with me and she assumed I had a TV, but I don’t. Billy, “she nodded towards the clerk. “very quickly helped us find a TV and he offered to help us set it up in the car.”
Bette smiled. Mr. Riccio seemed lost in his imaginings of the blonde and brunette and what they did together and took a moment to realize that Bette had stopped speaking.
Having gotten his attention, Bette continued, “But we have only a few minutes. Perhaps someone else could finish the sale and Billy could set up the TV?”
Mr. Riccio was uncertain, but surrendered to the whirlwind, “Certainly.”
Bette stayed in the shop and completed the sale, while Tina and Billy headed to Tina’s car. Billy carried the TV that Bette had freed, while Tina ran in front of him, carrying the parts with her car keys in her hand.
During the last few steps of the sale, Bette spoke.

ROFLMAO!!!!
That was so great! I asked my little sister (who notices/hears/sees everything better than I do, even though she had to be cajoled (read:threatened) into watching the show) not even a fortnight ago if she’d ever seen a tv in Bette&Tina’s living room and she said no. I just assumed Bette had put her foot down about that, and was yeah, something of a “cultural elitist” about it all… (they do exist! C’mon, we all know at least *one*, who’s above the whole tv thing.) but I wondered how a movie exec like Tina lived without the tube… I see she probably couldn’t! I love how Bette charmed the guys in the store, and Tina’s single-mindedness re: the Baba Wawa show. I’m waiting to see what you have in store for the final installment. Thanks for the post Spumoni, I really enjoyed it. Cheers!
I love Tina barking orders to Bette. So funny!
I absolutely loved reading this! It’s so great and refreshing!
C U T E!! A D O R A B L E!! TiBette are just too good together! Thanks for wonderfully filling in the blanks. I love it! The whole TeeVee thing was Hilarious. LOL. Please continue. Its Very Enjoyable! :)
” See!!! Huh!!! See!!! ” Yes, dear Spumoni, we see,… and we’d like to see more. ;-)
Spumoni don’t feel that you are the only one that has not learned those lessons, most of the time I forget that I once learned them. Great chapter and I love an alpha woman and a woman of action. they proved both of those attributes with this chapter. PPS
Incredible chapter love how they buy the tv,lol. using the ol’ porter charm,lol… omg they are so good for each other…
How cute. Kind of like Alce and Dana only cuter. Great writing – keep those chapters comming:-)
Excellent!!! It made me think of, and this is really said as a compliment, one of Jobadge’s situations… Very funny and clever chapter! It sounds like a real life story… Has something like this ever happened to you? I just loved how Bette handled the whole thing… Always the smart one, and Tina’s savior, but that’s a given! Very nice chapter. And you’re right, even though I can totally understand it, it always strikes me when I go to someone’s place and they don’t have a TV. And like Tina, I always think it might be in a cupboard somewhere…
LMAO!!! This was a funny chapter. Now that I think about it, I don’t remember them ever showing a TV on the show. Surely, Tina being a movie exec, would need a tube somewhere in the house. Great post!!! PPS
this was hilarious and this is so true, there’s no TV in B&T’s house LOL thank you, this was so refreshing…(and yes, it’s moi and i enjoy bringing B&T news to the fans, thank you)
Very very fun and funny chapter.
That was hilarious. Bette would not do real well in most homes in the US. I laught when Bette was trying to take the tv out of the box. The way things are boxed now a days, it would take more time trying to get it out then it would to set it up.
I loved that. Thx for poiting out the alphaness of Ms Kennard b4 she left being Head of Development. No wonder she went under playing the housewifey role. She really can multitask and being the stay at home little woman clearly did not suit her…which also explains her exasperation when Bette refused to take the citibank or any other job. Tina just did what a mother has to do, she compromised with the pump, got out there and paid the mortgage. Plus I never noticed the whole wearing the same clothes at the opening and the dinner; somehow they merged as the one event in my head. OMG I best go watch the whole series again. In fact s3 is playing here and that was so unbearable that I’m not watching just taping it, I’m a sook when it comes to pain. Thx for the shout out about HERE I AM. I wish I could be more disciplined with my writing like some people on the site. Oh yeah I have a friend who is a ‘cultural elitist’ with less right to be than Bette; She cracks me up, for 5 years I have been on at her to get a microwave but no!! Then she persuads me to go to MacDonalds for ‘Pancake Delight’ breakfast and I cracked up laughing so loud because of course they zap the pancakes in a microwave. Some people are so precious and so blind. I think Bette was quite a bit like that thru’out the series. God I hope she changes in s5. I find Tina so much more down to earth, so naturally flawed that I can see where she comes from most of the time whereas Bette as much as I love her I want to shout ‘F…wake up!!!!’…PPS
what is ‘corn pudding’ and do u have a recipe. Corn is grown where I live and we have a pudding with corn but don’t know if anyone else would like it. It’s an acquired taste but I’m up for trying something different.
Bette and the missing TV, I always thought that it would be in a cabinet in her living room, but in the otherhand I could see Bette not really bothering with one as I see her more as a reading person not someone who would sit in front of a TV. Tina , its part of her job description and I think a large percentage of her working day and her own time would be sitting in front of the google box. Corn pudding had to google this to see what it was reminds me of rice pudding, comfort food. You gave a shout out to Mrs Williamson remember her from way back in your stories. Love these fill in chapters. Thank you.
