Jodi: “hi girls, nice to see you here…”

Kelly: “Bette it has been months you didn’t come here neither the beach, what’s wrong with you, baby?”

Linn: (touching Tina’s hair) “and who is this beautiful girl…? Honey, can I invite you something?”

Bette: “whoa…, stop touching my girlfriend, and I’m not your baby Kelly”

Kelly: “hmm…, girlfriend? Since when do you have girlfriends, Porter?”

Bette: (pulling Tina to herself) “back off… all of you, and let us alone”

Linn: “why don’t you shut up and let her decide…, you, beautiful redhead, can I invite you something?”

Tina: “no, thanks”

Linn had already many mojitos and was becoming angry; she felt challenged by Bette and her ‘power’ over Tina, she didn’t understand that power was the force of love and friendship.

Linn: (pulling Tina by her arm) “come on baby, dance with me…”

Bette: (standing up) “let her go…”

Tina’s memories of her childhood suddenly came back to her mind, and she pulled away, involuntarily slapping Linn while trying to release herself from her drunk’s grip. Bette intervened pushing Linn out, and Jodi understood things were going out of control.

Jodi: “come on Linn, you have drunk too much…”

Linn: “you are a fucking bitch Bette Porter…, one day everybody will know…”

Jodi: “Kelly, take her to the table…, I’m sorry Bette… and sorry you redhead girl; but Linn is not good today…”

Jodi and her friends left the group and went to their table.

Alice: “Linn is scary sometimes…, you should have ended with her in good terms, Bette”

Bette: “I had nothing with her, it was just a few hours, something very casual and brief…”

Frankie: “whatever it was you should make peace with her…, she is dangerous”

Bette: “I don’t know what she wants and I don’t want to talk to her”

Shane: “I think we must let it go”

Tina: “I need the restroom; do you know where it is?”

Bette: “I’ll go with you”

Tina’s purpose was to get Bette away from the criticism and verbal attacks from her friends, and at the same time, find out about the conflictive Linn. The ladies’ room was crowded and Tina decided it was better to take Bette out for a quick talk.

Tina: “Bette, can we talk in some place, just you and me, and come back later?”
