Tina: Oh my god, that is wonderful!

Jodie: Look what Bette bought for me! (Jodie showed Tina an engagement ring that had two little small diamonds in it and Tina glimpsed at it quickly, then she went over to Bette and Jodie and both gave them a tight hug.)

Tina: I am so happy for both of you!

Bette (holding on to Tina): It means so much to us that you approve of us getting married.

Tina: Of course I do, you two deserve the best in this world!

Jodie: That is why we want to make you the best woman!

(Tina pulled away from Bette and Jodie and she smiled at them sadly and knowing that she couldn’t do that.)

Tina: What about Kit, she’s your sister.

Bette: She is going to be the matron of honor, while Shane, Alice and Jenny are the bridesmaids, while Max is another best man.)

(Tina looked away from Bette because she knew that her heart was breaking and she couldn’t go through with this, Bette and Jodie were waiting for her answer. Bette knew Tina so well and her smile disappeared from her face and a hurt expression appeared.)

Bette (sadly): Tina?

Tina: I am sorry but I can’t do it.

(Tina’s response hit Bette like a ton of bricks came crushing down on her heart and tears appeared in her eyes. Bette turned to Angelica and asked her to go in her room and play, which Angelica obeyed.)

Jodie: Why can’t you do it, Tina?

Tina: I just can’t do it, I am so sorry!

Bette (standing up from the couch): Oh that is great, just fucking great! (Bette left the room crying, leaving Tina and Jodie sitting in the living room. Jodie was looking at Tina sadly and shook her head in sympathy.)

Jodie: You are still in love with her, aren’t you?

Tina (getting up from the chair and heading to the door): I need to leave, I can’t deal with this.  (Before Jodie could stop her, Tina rushed out the door and got into her car, speeding off. Jodie closed the door, and then went to the bedroom where Bette was lying in bed, crying into her pillow. Jodie sat on the edge of the bed and placed her hand on Bette’s back, rubbing it up and down.)
