EXT. – JOYCE WISCHNIA’S GUEST HOUSE – DAY
[Alice and Tina walk up a beautiful garden path. Tina carries a bag; Alice carries three bags and a box.]
Alice: You know? I mean, the place will be all yours. You could have stayed totally as long as you wanted at my place, so you know.
Tina: Stop feeling bad. You need your apartment back so you can work.
Alice: Oh, I know, I’m just, you know, friends should sacrifice for each other, and I wanna sacrifice –
Tina: You’ve already sacrificed!
[They arrive.]
Tina: Whoa. Is this the guest house?
Alice: Okay. I officially stopped feeling bad, for sure.
Tina: (chuckles) Think about the breakups that built this house.
[The guest house is a huge stone cottage surrounded on all sides by plants and trees and sunlight.]
Alice: Well, I mean, let’s not forget she does use her powers for good. If it weren’t for her, there’d be no second-parent adoptions.
Tina: I don’t think it was the adoptions that paid for this place.
[Alice peers in the window.]
Alice: Whoa! (chuckles) You’re stoked.
[Tina giggles. She looks under one of the potted plants and retrieves the door key.]
INT. – THE PLANET – DAY
[Bette and Kit are talking. Bette is depressed.]
Bette: I just wanted to give this to you. The bank sent it to my house.
[Bette puts an envelope on the table and strolls around the room slowly. Kit picks the envelope up and looks at Bette.]
Kit: You alright?
Bette: (sighs) I’ve been better.
Kit: Me too. (sighs) Have you eaten?
Bette: No.
Kit: Want me to order something?
Bette: I guess.
Kit: I may not be able to pull this off by Friday. Half my deliveries aren’t in and the sound system may not be ready –
Bette: Kit. Tina is taking legal action against me. She’s divorcing me and I smashed my car in an intersection, so…
[Kit looks sad for Bette. Bette looks at her pitifully.]
Kit: You want Mexican?
Bette: (smiling a little) Sure.

[Jenny walks in, carrying a glass. Carmen is at the refrigerator in her underwear.]
Jenny: Hi. I’m – sorry.
Carmen: Oh, no, no, no, hey. That’s okay. Let me ask you something. What says you care more, beer or soy milk?
Jenny: Soy milk.
Carmen: But that’s not very sexy, though, is it?
Jenny: No.
Carmen: Nah. Allright, well that’s what I thought.
[Carmen grabs a couple of bottles of beer from the fridge.]
Carmen: And there’s more in the fridge if you want it, and I’m Carmen.
[They shake hands.]
Jenny: I’m, uh, Jenny.
Carmen: I know. (laughs)
[Carmen heads to Shane’s bedroom.]
Jenny: Nice to meet you.
Carmen: Oh, uh… sorry you had to meet me in my SupahLovah Costume.

[Soft music plays. Shane is getting dressed. Carmen walks in with the beers.]
Carmen: Hey!
Shane: Hi.
Carmen: You going somewhere?
Shane: Um… yeah, I was… thinking of going out.
Carmen: Were you.
[Carmen sets the beers down and stands close to Shane.]
Carmen: Uh, well, I, uh…
[They kiss.]
Carmen: I think you should stay.
Shane: Really.
Carmen: Yeah, I do.
[They kiss. Carmen pushes Shane onto the bed.]
Carmen: And I think you should play a game with me.
Shane: Oh yeah?
[Carmen sits on Shane’s lap.]
Carmen: Mm-hmm. This game is called… (thinks) “Too Hot.” And here’s how we play. We… start kissing.
[They kiss.]
Carmen: And we can’t stop kissing.
Shane: Mm.
Carmen: Mm-hmm.
[Shane runs her hands along Carmen’s hips and butt. Carmen takes her hands away.]
Carmen: But we also can’t touch. No touching.
[They’re still kissing. Shane chuckles.]
Carmen: So, then, if you touch me, then you lose. And that means I can do whatever I want.
Shane: And… what happens if you touch me?
[Shane puts her hands on Carmen’s thighs. Carmen holds them up.]
Carmen: Then… I lose. And you get to do whatever you want to me.
[Shane kisses her.]
Carmen: Mm. So. Are you ready?
Shane: Yeah.
Carmen: Okay. Hands off.
[They kiss. Shane keeps her hands out to the sides. Carmen puts her hands on the back of her own neck. They continue kissing. They come close a few times to touching each other. After a few moments, Shane grabs Carmen’s hips.]
Carmen: (protesting) Mm! Hmm-mm! Mm!
[They break the kiss and smile. Carmen takes Shane’s hands.]
Carmen: Wow! Lie down… bitch!
[Shane leans back onto the bed.]
Shane: Oh. You’re so awful.
[Carmen leans down. Shane grabs her shirt. Carmen hold her hand onto the bed.]
Carmen: Mm. Did I say you could touch me?
Shane: No.
Carmen: No. And why?
Shane: Because I lost.
Carmen: That’s right. And?
[Shane touches Carmen.]
Carmen: What? I didn’t hear you?
Shane: Because you won.
Carmen: That’s right. I won. Loser.
[They start kissing again. Carmen starts to get up. Shane tries to follow. Carmen pins her hands on the bed again.]
Carmen: Stay.
Shane: (laughing) You’re such a… bitch.
[Carmen kisses Shane.]
