Bette: Fine, but you do need therapy, Tina!

Tina: I know but it is so fucking embarrassing!

Bette: Would it help if I was there?

Tina (nodding her head): Yes it would, I don’t think I could do all of this alone.

Bette (taking Tina’s hands and holding them tightly): You’ll never do this alone, believe me. I love you and want to be with you. I want to see you through this.

Tina (starting to cry): I love you too but I’m not sure if you’ll be able to handle all this fucking shit!  (Bette dropped down on her knees in front of Tina and gave her a sad begging puppy dog look.)

Bette (in a quivering voice): You won’t get rid of me, no matter how fucking hard you try! I realized that I didn’t try harder to fight for you in the past and that has been one of my many regrets. I am going to fight harder for you and with you. We were fucking made to be together and if you can’t see that, then you need to see it now, Tina!

(Tina studied Bette’s face and saw the love, need, want, desire and adoration all over it. Tina took Bette’s face in her hands and placed her lips gently on Bette’s and gave her a soft kiss. Bette returned the kiss and she let out a heavy sigh. Then Bette broke down completely, her head resting in Tina’s lap and Tina began stroking her curly dark brown hair, concerned about her breakdown.)

Tina: Honey, what’s wrong?

Bette (sobbing): Did you know how long I’ve been in love with you?

Tina: I don’t know because I didn’t think you were in love with me.

Bette (sobbing harder): The engagement is off with Jodie, which is how much I am in love with you. I was stupid to think that I could ever love anyone else like I loved you.

Tina (kissing Bette’s hair): Oh baby, I felt the same way too, it was impossible for me to love Henry. I only love you and only you. (Tina pulled Bette on her and lied back on the couch, with Bette lying on top of her, still sobbing.)

Bette: I love you and only you!
