Bette and Tina shared more pleasant conversations with some of the casts and other crew members without hearing so much as a cough from Kate during dinner.  Helena stood before the guests to propose a toast, and of course Jenny being Jenny didn’t want Helena to have all of the glory, stood up as well.

“Here’s to the filming of a beautiful story” Helena held her flute as did everyone else “Cheers!” everyone echoed and toasted.

“And to the beginning of great things to come” Jenny held her glass up still before people started sipping “We are about to embark on a journey that will change the course of cinema” she walked around the table addressing the cast of the film “some of you have never kissed anyone of the same sex, but you will.  I expect you to give me a hundred and ten percent” she stood behind with a hand on Nikki Stevens’ seat and discreetly caressed her bare shoulder with a finger.  She continued her walk down the table behind Aaron’s seat “sacrifices will be made in order to make this dream come true” she stopped behind Bette and Tina’s seats “people have had problems understanding the book, but I’m hoping that this film will be the visual aid that they need in order find peace with it” Jenny made her way around the table and stood at her starting point “I am happy that you are all here to help me bring my vision to life.  Cheers!”  Everyone at the table seemed overly ecstatic when her little monologue came to an end, and gulped down their drinks signaling the servers for refills.

Bette and Alice were at The Planet enjoying an afternoon latte.  Alice had just conducted an interview for the website based on late coming out stories in which Phyllis was the featured story.

“Okay is it me, or was Phyllis just hitting on me?” Alice asked Bette as they watched Phyllis leave the café

“Oh she was hitting on you” Bette confirmed

“I thought she was with whatsherface” Alice sipped her latte

“Joyce Wischnia” Bette sipped her frothy drink

“Are they not happy?” Alice looked at Bette
