“Maybe you just haven’t met the right person” Sam said as she watched Carmen walk away.

‘You got a big mouth-a big mouth-big mouth-a big mouth’ the classic Whodini rap song blared from Tina’s phone.

“What’s up Al?”  She answered without looking up from her work.

“I got a favor to ask” Alice started.

“Stop right there” Tina wanted to prepare her answer “Does this favor involve me lying to Bette?”

“No” Alice laughingly replied.

“Publicly humiliating myself?” She added before Alice could say anything further.

“This is ridiculous of course not” Alice was interrupted.

“Yes or no Al” Tina meant business.

“No” Alice replied playing her game.

“Does it involve any illegal activity?” Tina asked.

There was silence on the other end.

“I’m hanging up” Tina was about to disconnect when she heard pleading on the other end.

“Wait, no!” Alice yelled.

“Sure, what can I do for you Alice?” Tina smiled into the receiver.

“Do I need to remind you who gave you shelter when you and Bette were having problems and you didn’t want to go home?”  Alice told her.

“My problems never required anyone to lie, cheat or steal for me” Tina countered “now, what can I do for you Al?”

“Dana has been hinting that she wants to get into acting especially since she’s all retired now” Alice made sure Dana wasn’t around before she continued “She’s going out of her mind not having anything to do, and since the only non-tennis thing she’s ever done was that car commercial she figures why not get into acting.”

“Alice commercials are different from movies” Tina said from the other end.

“I know that Tina” Alice rolled her eyes “I just figured since you have connections in Hollywood you could hook her up with something.”

“She’s done like one commercial” Tina laughed.

“I know” Alice smiled proudly thinking about how cute Dana looked in the commercial.

“There are people in this industry who have been doing nothing but commercials and have never even come close to a role in a pilot.” Tina told her.

“I’ll make sure to have Dana call you for moral support” Alice dryly said.
