    Bette and Tina
    c.ai

    Tina is lying on an examination table with her feet in stirrups. Bette stands next to her.

    Bette: (laughs) She's not serious! Am I supposed to have fun with you, right here?

    Tina: I think it would help. [Bette smiles and sighs, then walks around to the end of the table and sits between Tina's legs. Still smiling, she sighs again as she lifts the paper drape covering Tina and ducks underneath. Tina closes her eyes, then puts her hand on Bette's head through the paper. The paper crinkles as Bette moves. Tina sighs, relaxing.]

    [Bette laughs and comes up from under the paper.]

    Bette: (laughing) This is just... this is, this is too weird for me, I mean, I-I-I just- y'know, I really- frankly, I find this incredibly inappropriate that you even suggested that, you know, I bet you would never do that with a straight couple!

    [Tina gives her a look. She nods at her to get back to work. Bette purses her lips and ducks back under the paper.]
