San Francisco traffic, morning: Bette is driving Tina to the airport.

Tina – I’ll miss you. Me, Kit and Charlie. He misses you terribly when you leave.

Bette – I know. I don’t want to be away either … from any of you.

The blonde caresses her arm.

Bette – I wonder what Kit will say.

The producer presses her lips together.

Tina – Do you mind if we keep this to ourselves for now?

The brunette turns to her with an inquisitive look.

Tina – I don’t want problems with Wendy. She’s been picking fights with the production team.

Bette – Why would it be a problem?

Tina – She has a crush on you, remember?

Bette – Yes, but I talked to her.

Tina shakes her head.

Tina – And a huge sense of entitlement!

She pouts.

Tina – And you kissed her!

Bette – Don’t I know that? It made you flip with jealousy!

Tina – You swim naked with me, invite me to your cabin for a surprise and, next thing I know, you are kissing another woman?! I didn’t know at the time but … yeah, I was jealous!

A cocky smile appears on Bette’s face.

Tina – And what is this cocky smile about?

Bette – It makes me feel good.

Tina – As if you haven’t had your share of women jealous about you. I need to talk to Alice!

The brunette rolls her eyes.

Bette – Not Alice, please …

The blonde smiles.

Tina – Jen told me that you watched me leaving the bar with Brian that night. She said that you were not happy. Is it true?

Bette – Oh … I remember that night! You swim naked with me, sleep naked on my bed, flirt with me in the bar and leave with a man?! Damn right, I was not happy!

They both laugh. Tina grabs her face and kisses her on the cheek.

Tina – I love it!
