“That’s a lot of zeros” Bette said trying to contain her excitement for Tina.

“So” Lydia looked at her sister “what do you say?”

“I say” Tina said then looked at Bette who shook her head to let Tina know that she would agree with anything  she decided, “let’s do it.”

Adele and Dawn sat at lounge table across from Kelly in the backyard of Kelly’s rented mansion.  The maid left a tray of cool drinks on the table before reentering the house.

“Porter’s backed out” Kelly told them.

“And I just found out that Kit owns the whole Planet” Dawn said not looking up from table to see Adele’s triumphant smile.

“I’ve rewritten Lez Girls” Adele bragged then taking a drag of her cigarette.

“Fuck you” Kelly and Dawn both said and glared at the same time.

“Don’t blame me because you’re not very thorough with executing your plans” Adele exhaled a puff of smoke.

“I’ll just have to get better promoters for the club” Dawn shook her head.

“I need to find a way to convince Bette to reconsider” Kelly said deep in thought.  “Tina and that kid got her in a vise.”

“Then help Tina loosen that vise” Adele offered.

“How?”  Kelly looked at her.

“You never did learn to pay attention did you?” Dawn sneered.

“The thing about the movie business is the demanding and unpredictable schedule” Adele grinned.

“Not to mention the different types of equipment you have at your disposal” Dawn added wearing the same wicked grin.

Bette organized and situated her personal items before James came in to pack them away.  Jody opened then walked though the door and grinned at the startled look on Bette’s face.

“Don’t worry Bette it’s not like we’re going to lock the doors to prevent you from leaving” Jodie signed with a chuckle as she sat down.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Phyllis entertained the thought” Bette said half serious.  Since she handed in her resignation Phyllis tried diligently to persuade Bette to change her mind.  However, she gave up her efforts when she heard about Bette turning down the CAC.  No doubt, Phyllis was under the assumption that she had succeeded, but was sadly disappointed when she stopped by her office and saw Bette packing.
