Cassanova Was a Woman (2016)
1
[female narrator] Sex... Sexuality. What makes one person attracted to another? What is attraction? Is it emotional? Is it physical? or... a little bit of both. I used to think you were either born gay or born straight. Oops! Sorry! That's alright, sweetie. Nowadays, its okay to be what they call "sexually fluid". But what does that actually mean when it comes to relationships? You know, monogamy, commitment. Can you be a free spirited, sexually fluid, pansexual, bisexual, metrosexual monogamist? Oh and... also be Latin. [cat calls in Spanish] [answers in Spanish] Holy shit! I thought you were a gringa! I don't know. I just know that... life is full of exciting, unpredictable, pleasurable chaos. That, no book or class or parent can prepare you for. You pretty much have to wing it, and go with your gut. Always go with your instincts. Well, that's what an acting teacher told me, anyway. [grunting in distress] [woman squeals] [woman laughs] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Are you okay? Are you okay? I think so. I think so. Thanks. Hey, I'm uh, I'm Lola. Hi, I'm uh I'm Cassanova. Thank you. - Wait a minute. Hi! I am Cassanova. "Cassanova"? Wow! That's a unique name. Especially for a woman. Yeah. Well, it's with the two "s's" though. You know. Not the one 's' like the famous lover. Oh yeah yeah. That is different. Hey, wait a minute. Are you in the 80's play? Uh, yeah. You? Yeah, I mean that's gonna be fun. Ha! But I mean, 80's, ooh! Been there, done that. You know what I mean? Yeah, me too! I hope they don't need this as a coat rack, 'cause I think I ruined this thing. You know what? Let's get out of here before we get busted, okay? That's a good one. [Cassanova] So, you weren't supposed to be in the show? [Lola] No, but a friend on the crew said they were looking for this character and they couldn't find her. So, here I am. I'm glad. I read with some of the people that read for your part, They were horrible. Like they couldn't even do a Queens accent. They were like, [stilted fake accent] "Forget about it." as opposed to you know, fuggetaboutid [Brooklyn accent] "Yo, you talkin' to me? " "Yeah baby, who else would I be talkin' to?" [with accent] "I grew up in Queens and I walk my 'dawg' every morning, to get my cup of coffee." We Hobokonites have the same accent. So, you are from Hoboken? Yeah. Yeah, I live in Jersey too - the "burbs". Listen, I gotta go this way. But I'll see you tomorrow? Well, you sure you don't want to grab a bite to eat or something? Naw, I have a date. Who is this lucky...person? My husband. Oh, you're married! Yeah. Ten years. We have a romantic dinner planned. Can't miss it. See ya tomorrow? See ya tomorrow. [alarm beeping] [sighs] [sighs] [man] I love you. I love you too. See you tomorrow, everyone. Same time, same place. [speaking in Spanish] [sighs] Excuse me, could you just, excuse me. [party music] [music continues] Cass? Cass! Oh my God! It's so good to see you. Hola, chica, how's it going? I'm gonna come, sit with you. I don't think there's room but... It's alright. Nice boots, girl. God, these young girls are big. Excuse me! Ooh, I think you lost something. How are you? Great! Oh my God! I'm great but can you believe my agent sent me out for this? I'm gonna kill her. Why? You'd be perfect. What? What are you talking about? Look around, Evelyn! I look like the offspring of the Brady Bunch in this room. But you're not, okay? You're a Canto to me, you're more Latina than most of these wanna be Nuyoricans who can barely speak Spanish. You know how it is, Evelyn. Unless you look like Jennifer Lopez, you're not Latin. Why does your agent send-- - Can you please just... You're not going to get it, mama, I'm sorry. Why does your agent send you out on this kind of stuff? Tell her that you want more Anglo-Saxon... I tell her, I tell her but she knows I'm Cuban. You know, but it doesn't matter. I've been out for everything, all kinds of roles, all American wasp, Eastern European, Latina, Canadian, Alaskan, Scandinavian, everything in the book. Give me a U, give me an S, give me an A, a, a! What's that spell? What's that spell? No really, what's that spell? [toy gun drops] [man] Ouch! So you think because I am Russian, I am a communist? Well, you are right. [man] Are you Italian? [coughing, sputtering] [laughing] That happened? It totally happened. Oh, that sucks, Cass. I'm so sorry. But you know, why do we do it? I don't know...because we're freaks? Freakers are seekers, baby. That's true. Alright, so what side do you have? Let's see, I am oh, shocker. Hooker #1. She has a fight with her pimp. That's uh, original, really original. I got Hooker #3. At least we're not up for the same role. That's good. Mine gets beaten and then questioned by the police. Good for you. I wonder who's got Hooker #2. Don't know. One of these hookers. Cassanova Ciantu? Canto! Right over here. Wish me luck! Love you! Be careful. Nice booty. You know, I'm a huge New York Beat cop fan. I've been trying to get an audition for years but my agent actually says she knows you. She actually met you at one of the parties that... Hi! I'm just gonna put this down. [clears throat] Any questions? Cassanova? [offensively exaggerated Spanish accent] Yeah, um... was she raped and beatin' first, before she got high and 'ovadosed', you know, or was she raped and beatin', while she got high and then 'ovadosed'? Because you know... that's stupi', yo! [Cassanova] Suffice it to say, they didn't buy me as a Latina hooker, but... they would buy me as an Irish one. [Irish accent] Apparently they think I'd make a better living on the streets of Dublin, not Times Square. How's my Irish accent? Is it okay? Better luck next time, Cass. Yeah, whatever. What else is going on? [Cassanova] You asshole! I'm trying to share something really important with you REALLY enlightening. And all you care about is how you fit into the picture. I think I'm not in love with him anymore. I don't know how this could happen. We're... We're constantly arguing. Peter, you can't let go of something that happened three years ago, and then nothing. Maybe I should have cheated on you too. We were so in love. It's... It's crazy. [Peter] You lied, and you cheated on me and you never really apologized for it. Nev...Never? Never apologized for it? Let me see, where is that freaking affidavit? I have written testimony, that I notarized stating the numerous, extensive apologies that have come out of this mouth. C'mon! That's bullshit! Why is it crazy? People do fall out of love, you know? Yeah, but I thought I'd be with him for the rest of my life. I don't think I can do it. [Peter] I can't believe that after all-- I'm not gonna rehash this again. I'm not. I'm not gonna rehash this again. Well, yeah we are. Yes, you are. You're going to talk about this until you realize Oh my God! There are other ways to torture someone that are much more humane. [therapist] What can't you do? Live without him. We're discussing this. No. We are discussing this, and I'm saying it again, in a therapist's office. No more! Not here! I'm not going to... I've already told you, I am not going anywhere, alright? Peter, c'mon! Please, just sit down and listen. No! You made your bed, now lie in it. How's the sex? In a word-- horrible. [therapist] Horrible? Do you two communicate about that? Please, communication has never been a problem for us. I told him a hundred times, he never does anything new, or anything I suggest. For the past ten years, we've been making love the same-exact-way. I've introduced food, costumes, toys, gadgets, different places, different positions, hands, tongue, mouth. He's introduced his penis. Was it ever any good? [Cassanova] Well... I guess when we first started dating, yeah it was hot and heavy, but.... he was never really physically my type. What's your type? Okay, you know The Rock, Dwayne Johnson? That's my type. Peter? Not The Rock. I like tall; he's my height. I like dark; he's light. I like strong and muscular; he had a potbelly by the age of 30. It sucks. Why do you think you stay? Because I did-- I do really love him. Despite all the sexual mishaps, I-- he was the only man who really understood me. We were so emotionally and intellectually compatible. He got me. You know what I mean? I do know what you mean. I think we're gonna need to continue this at your next session. Sounds good. Vacation, huh? Yes. Sure. Have fun. How much did that director love you? No, he thinks you are great too. Besides, I'm married. But he's not. That's his problem. What about you, Lola? Are you married or with someone? Well, I broke up with someone recently. Yeah, Sam and I were together for about four years. We lived together and we split up a couple of months ago. Wow, so recently. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine, but it was rough. I miss him. Of course, of course. You were practically married. He was your husband. No. Lovers. Oh. Okay. Anyway, he was a douche, he would drop me every time I got into a play. Are you serious? But, you are an actress. What'd he expect you to do? - Quit acting. So, what did you do? - Kept acting. Good girl. Listen, I uh, I'd love to talk to you some more, but I gotta go. Okay, I guess, see you tomorrow? See you tomorrow. See ya. Richard, I'm dying. Girl, you are always dying. No, Rich, I'm serious. I'm completely obsessed. I never felt this way about anyone in my seventeen relationships. You know, I knew her the minute I met her. She's different. She's it. It? Honey, she's straight. I know, but there's something about her. I mean, she seems to be attractive, but she's not even aware. She has got to be aware, honey! Why do you wanna be treading in that unchartered wilderness for anyway? Stick with the village. What you know! What about Sara? She's bi and Lord knows, she's beautiful. Yeah, she's beautiful, but she doesn't have "it". You know this, this Cassanova she has it all. She's so smart and talented. Oh! You know she works for morning radio. Oh no, I was listening to her today, she was so great. She was funny and-- - Straight. warm-- - Straight! And, so beautiful. - Still straight! Would you shut up with that. What the hell are you gonna do with a straight woman besides go shopping? Oh, I can do plenty if she'd let me. Oh my God, there she is! There she is! How's my hair? Nighmare on Elm street, right? Oh my God. Alright, my make up? My make up? My basic face? What about my lips? Get my lipstick! Damn, L. You would think you'd be meeting Shakira or somebody. Oh God. Damn! It's the wrong shade. Can you give me yours? You know I don't carry that shit with me. It stays at Lucky Chang's. I only wear that stuff for my act. Now calm down. You look gorgeous. If you just fluff up your hair a little bit, you got any hairspray in that trunk of yours? I forgot the hairspray. This is the worst. Honey, this is not the worst. Mamma here will tell you about some worst times. Now, calm down. Hey Lola! What's up? I'm starving, can I join you? Sure, sure. Cassanova, this is Richard. Richard, this is Cassanova. Hi! Pleasure meeting you. Pleasure to meet you, Cassanova. I'm starving. Okay so what were you guys talking about? [Cassanova narrating] So for the next two weeks, we rehearsed. We were only one of the one acts in the festival but, we were the best one. Lola and I grew very close. It was really somewhat kismet. I felt like, I knew her for centuries. The fun was non-stop. Even though, Peter and I kept arguing. She kept listening. She was kind, supportive, wise and well, fun. So much fun. [soft piano music] [music continues] [Cassanova] Then, opening night came. We hadn't done a line drill, so we decided to meet at the coffee shop to go over our lines before call. I can't believe it's opening night already. We've only rehearsed for two weeks. I can't wait. Yeah, me neither. Hey listen Cass, I got to tell you something-- - Hello, ladies! Can I get you something to drink? No, I'll just um, I'll just have a cup of coffee. And I will have a diet coke. Sure thing. Coming right up. He's cute. Yeah, yeah. He's cute. Listen, Cass, uh, I got to tell you something. It's kinda personal. I got to tell you before Sara gets here. - Sure, sure hon, you know you can tell me anything. Are your parents okay? Yeah, they're fine. It's just that um... I should've told you this a couple of weeks ago, in the beginning. [phone rings] One second. Hold that thought. Sara? Yeah, I have a pair. Only one? Sure. Bye, bye. It was Sara. She wanted to know if I had an extra pair of lace gloves for the Madonna scene. Yeah, that's nice. That's nice. That's nice? Jeez, Lola, what's going on? Here you go, ladies. Thank you. -Enjoy your coffee. I will. Cass-- Lola, check this out. This guy gave me his number. Call me sometime so I can give you some "real" service. I can't believe this I get more action married than when I was single. Cass Can I call you Cass? Only my really good friends call me Cass. you know, so... Cass, I'm bisexual and Sam is really Samantha. [Cassanova narrating] Okay, right now you should be seeing a light bulb over my head! You see it?! Okay, maybe you don't. But it's there! Don't ask me right now why because, I don't know. But for a split second, there was a flash. And? "And"? I just told you that I was into women also and that I lied to you about Samantha who I've been in a relationship with for four years. We live-- why aren't you surprised? I don't know. I'm just not. What I am surprised about is the fact that you didn't tell me sooner. I mean, I thought we were friends. I'm sorry. It's just that you know, people judge you when they hear you are a little different. Oh, you're different alright. But it has nothing to do with your sexuality. "This" actually makes you normal. Shut up! I'm sorry, really. I mean, if you have to worry about anybody treating you differently because of part of who you are, then the sooner you can get rid of them. It's a good way to narrow down the good friends from the crappy ones. You are right. You are absolutely right. Oh God, I feel like such a great weight has been lifted off my shoulder. You have no idea. Can't believe you think I would treat you differently or change my attitude towards you just because you're a rugmuncher. Great! Epithets! So you like a little something, something muffin with your sausage in the morning. I'm starting to regret having told you. Cass, is my hair high enough? High enough? Lola, it's an edifice. You've got Empire State Building, Sears Tower Lola's Hair! Places everyone! Fuacata! - Break a leg, gorgeous. You too, sexy thing. [funky dance music] Oh my God! They loved it. They totally loved it. We were pretty funny. Are you kidding me, hon'! You were hysterical! You're so easy to play with. - I know. I am pretty amazing. Listen Cass, what are you doing tonight? I don't know, I got to see what Peter wants to do. Oh 'cause there's this really great party that I am going to I think would be terrific, if you wanted to come with. Sure, I just gotta see what Peter wants to do. I'm sure it'll be fine. Well, it's...it's not your average party. Oh no? What kind of party is it? It's at a lesbian club. It's an all girl party, but there's always a lot of mixed couples there. Okay. That's totally cool. I'm sure Peter won't mind. Besides, you know straight guys. Oh, I do know straight guys. [electronic dance music] [Cassanova] This place is great! Have you been here before? Yeah, yeah, a couple of times. One of my friends works here. What can I get you to drink? First round is on the house. Thanks! I'll have a vodka martini with olives, dirty. Peter? I'll have a rum and Coke, thanks. Rum & Coke, okay. Are you still hooked on her? There's no way I'm getting unhooked. Well, you better sweetie. She's absolutely straight. She has a husband, for God's sake. I know, but I sense something. I don't know, maybe it's wishful thinking. Maybe?! It is! You know what Richard, I am serious. We have a definite connection. Besides, she's not happy with him. That doesn't mean she will be happy with a woman. Well, I know. But one can always dream, can't one? [both laugh] You were great tonight, honey. - Thanks, babe. Lola's really easy to work with. You know I really like her. Oh yeah, I do too. But I definitely like you more. [both laugh] Maybe she's not straight, but at worst, she's bi. Maybe she's into you and doesn't know it. You think? Maybe not. Give me the damn spritzer! I'm going to the bar to get a drink. You want something? Yeah, another rum and Coke. Thanks, babe. Do you want a drink? - I don't drink anymore. Huh? - No. There she is. Well, have fun. Working the room, huh? I see you're keeping yourself occupied. Oh, I wasn't expecting you. Yeah, of course you weren't. So, where's Peter? Checking out the scene. He's a, he's a really terrific guy. Yeah, he really liked you in the play. Oh, great, great. Richard! I need another drink, please. Vodka martini, dirty with olives and a rum and Coke. You, can really dance. You don't know how much I wish we could dance together. Who says we can't? [dance music] Baby it's getting late, maybe we should get going. Yeah, it's getting late. I'm a little tired. I'll go get our coats. - Okay, thanks. So...you got your dance. I sure did. Lola, can I ask you a question? - Sure. Anything. It's kinda personal and if I don't ask you now, I probably never will. Go ahead. What would you say if a straight friend wanted to kiss you? If that straight friend was you I would say, 'Thank you, Lord! ' Praise Jesus! I'm sorry. I cant' believe it's 3 AM already. I know, wow, the night flew. So...when am I gonna get that kiss? Lola, you can't get it now. Why not? - Why not?! C'mon, just a quick little kiss; Peter won't even notice. No! No way, I can't. I won't be able to sleep if you don't kiss me goodnight. What the hell was that? Oh, you can do much better. Yes. I can. But not here. C'mon, let's go; it's hot in here. Yeah. Listen Cass, I got to tell you something. It's okay. I know what you're gonna say. I think I feel the same way too. This is ridiculous. I can't believe how giddy I feel. By the same token, I...I... it's rough for me. I know your situation. I know. Why don't we just go with the feeling? For now. Here you go, ladies. What a great night, huh? [falls on piano keys] Hello, Lola? It's Cassanova. How are you feeling? I didn't sleep a wink all night. Fabulous! Yeah, me too. Listen, I have to see you today. We have to talk. Can we meet for a lunch or something? Maybe before the matinee? At the coffee shop? Sure. About noon? Yeah, that's perfect. Okay. See you then. See you then. Oh, Lola? - Yeah? I still owe you that kiss. Yeah, you do. See you later. - Bye. Bye. RICHARD! [upbeat rock music] I'm so sorry. I'm late. Have you been waiting long? No, I just got here. Excuse me, ma'am. You told me to let you know when it was past twelve. It is 12:20. Thank you. Run along now. I'm so sorry. I live really far. Did you order anything? - No. I'm not even hungry, which is, which is weird because I'm usually starving by this time. Are you lovely ladies ready to order? You know what? I'll just have some coffee. And some eggs. Scrambled. Whole grain toast, just a little bit of butter. and Greek yogurt, do you have Greek yogurt? Greek yogurt. With a little bit of granola sprinkled. Some berries, too. Some uh, blueberries. I'm allergic to strawberries. Cross-contamination. Are you expecting anyone else, or... Okay, so that's it. Okay. I'll have the same. All of it? Okie dokie. Coming right up. I can't believe you called me today. I can't believe I did either. Jesus! I feel like a teenager and for me that's going a ways. Me too. Here's your coffee. 'The best part of waking up' because there's... 'Folger's in your cup.' Let me know if you need anything else. Listen Cass, I'm just gonna come right out and say this. I'm not going to waste time on games or double talk. Because I'm too told for that. I've been in so many relationships, that I really should know what I want and-- Well, this...is big for me. I mean...I'm gonna say it. You could be air to breathe for me. I could be with you for the rest of my life. Whoa! That's intense. My God! I'm such an idiot. It's too soon. You're married. We just met. I wanna throw up. Your eggs! Oh Jeez, I'm not even hungry. Neither am I. I shouldn't have said anything. No, you should've. It's what you are feeling. But-- - I'm glad you said it. But your reaction-- My reaction was what it is. That is intense, but it doesn't mean I don't totally appreciate it and really love it. Love it? Would you be my girlfriend? What? Well, I don't know. Do you wanna have my pin and go to a drive in movie for an ice cream soda? What is this Happy Days - Lesbian style? I don't know what I'm saying. Listen to me, I don't know what I'm gonna do about my marriage 'Cause it ended long before I met you. I can't cheat on him because I love him too much for that. I...I just need time. It's kinda weird, this situation being with a woman. It's weird. Can we just take it slow...for now. I'm gonna be crushed. What? Don't say that. What if right before you've been crushed, you had the time of your life? I still would have been crushed. But it would have all been worth it. Obviously, you have never been crushed. We're gonna be late. - Yeah c'mon, let's go. We didn't even touch our food. - I am still not hungry. I am! But not for food. [Cassanova narrating] What kind of corny ass shit is that to say! Jesus Christ, when the hell am I gonna kiss her? You know, I still owe you that kiss. I know. What am I, 12? What are you so nervous about? So what, she's a woman! Kissing someone is kissing someone. When will you ever get a chance like this? Okay, let me think. When am I going to be able to do this? I wonder what kind of a crowd we're gonna have today? Okay! That's it, NOW! Cass, hold on a second, hold on a second. What?! I told you I owed you that kiss. I know and although this is all very sexy and everything, I just need a moment to recover from this concussion. Sorry. No problem. Now call 911. [party blower] Guess what, honey? I got the job in Miami! I'll be a professor at the University of Miami! Can you believe it? My dream job! I'll end up where I started in Miami, but I'll be with my family and friends, this is too good to be true; we can buy a house, we can have our kids-- I'm not going to Miami. You could get a job on one of your mom's soaps, great weather, we can go to the beach whenever you want to-- What do you mean you're not going to Miami? Just what I said, Peter. You know, I'm so happy for you. I am ecstatic. That's awesome. Fantastic, fantastic. But I'm not going to Miami; I hate Miami. Oh, you don't hate Miami. Peter, don't tell me what I like or don't like. I never liked Miami and you know it. But it's my dream job! - Yes, yes. Yes, it's your dream job, but not mine. Besides, there's not guarantee that my mom can get me job on one of her soaps. What am I supposed to do here? I can't get a job here. Well, I have a job. As a matter of fact, I have two jobs. Oh yeah, right. Waking up at 3:30 in the morning everyday to report on the traffic news. How will they ever get around without you? And the black box theater? Ooh! C'mon Cass, when are you going to let go of this acting thing and start a family? When am I going to let go of this acting thing? Who the hell are you and what have you done with my husband? Peter, you know I have been acting forever. Way before we met and I will continue to act. Okay? And besides, macho man, when are you going to let go of this 'teacher thing'? Why is it that I have to let go of anything? Why is your job more important than mine? C'mon Cass, I didn't mean it like that. - Yes, you did. What the hell do you want me to do? I can't turn down this job. You do what you have to do. [sighs] There's nothing for me in Miami. - But what are we going to do? You're my wife. Peter... I think we should talk about this marriage and the direction it's headed. [Peter sighs] What are you saying? [sighs heavily] I want a divorce. No. Okay? No. [laughs] No. - Peter. - No. - Listen. - No. No! No! NO! NO!!! Peter, we've been arguing non-stop for two years. What kind of marriage is this?! I still love you, Cass! How can you do this? We were supposed to spend the rest of our lives together! I know, Peter. I still love you too, but I think I'm not "in" love with you anymore. I'm sorry. Why? Why? I don't know why? Because these things happen sometimes! People fall out of love everyday. Is it the sex? [Exhales stressfully] [loud awkward moaning] [awkward moaning continues] We haven't had sex in like two months. That's because my feelings are changing, Peter. There's something else going on. There's something that you're not telling me. Why can't your ego just believe that I don't feel the same anymore? Look, I know there's something else. I just know it. Okay, okay. If you have to know, you have to know. You're my best friend, right? You'll probably find out anyway. There's someone else; I knew it. I knew it! Who is it? I'm gonna fucking kill him. That fucking creep! Is it that director you're working with? I'll just fucking kill him! I've seen the way he looks at you. Don't think that you're putting one over me. No! It's not the director! - Then who is it?! C'mon! Spit it out. Who is he?! It's not a he. What?! It's not... a he. What do you mean 'it's not a 'he? ' What the hell does that mean? It means it's a she. Cass, what are you saying? What do you think I'm saying? What? Are you telling me that-- Are you fucking lesbian? Ssh, keep your freaking voice down! It's bad enough they have to listen to all our arguments, now you're outing me to the whole neighborhood? I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown. What the hell is going on? Cass, you're NOT a lesbian. I know, I know. I don't understand it myself. It's just...these feelings all of a sudden-- - What? What feelings? Well, you know Lola, right? Yeah, I-- oh my God, you're having an affair with Lola. No, no, no. I'm not having an affair. Listen to me, Peter. I'm not having an affair. That's why I'm telling you this because I don't want to cheat on you Peter, and I want to end this relationship with integrity. Integrity? Is there integrity in telling me that all of a sudden, now you're gay? Will you stop thinking in such black and white terms! For someone with a Ph.d., you are so completely ignorant! So, what is it then? What is it? I have no idea. Look, you think this is easy for me? I have a million things going on in my head and I'm all mixed up. What I do know, is that our relationship ended long before I met Lola. You must have seen this coming. You can be sure of the fact that I did not see this coming. Peter, I still love you. No, you don't. You don't love me. If you would love me, you wouldn't be doing this. How can you do this, Cass? After all these years, how can you do this. Peter, I don't have all the-- I don't have all the answers. What I do know is that I have these feelings I have to go with. I can't suppress them. I have to be true to myself. What about being true to me, Cass? This isn't about you. Of course not, it's always been about you. Peter, where are you going? Wait one second! Can't we just finish this conversa-- So, he just left? - Yeah, he was pretty much in shock when he thought I might be with a woman. Might? Lola, I don't know what's going on. This is so crazy. I have this massive crush on you, yet I never really thought of being with a woman, in that way. Well, neither did I, until I did. I don't know, everybody has their own experience, but for me I loved men for a long time. I loved their bodies, the sex was great, but then I found I wasn't connecting with them anymore, emotionally. And I found I was connecting more with women. It just evolved into a romantic thing. It never started as a physical attraction. Yeah, but I have had emotional connections with men. Still do. Deep ones. I just never thought of a woman sexually. Except in some crazy fantasy in my head where there's this orgy going on and everybody's having anonymous sex with everybody, right? And it's awesome. But it's not real. No, I never thought of sex with a woman in a serious, conscious way. [man] What do you think you're doing? What happened? Are you okay? Who the hell are you? Are you okay? Your face. You look like you've just seen a ghost. He's too hot to be a ghost. Lola? Let me ask you a quick question, aren't ghosts supposed to be all decomposed and uh decrepit looking? And all messed up? Like the way they die. Like in the Sixth Sense. When she opened up the cabinets and you saw the back of the head. She opened up the cabinets and you saw the hole. Cass, what the hell are you talking about? Are you gonna tell her I'm here? - Shut up! I didn't say anything. - No, not you. Listen, I'll explain everything tomorrow. I have to go. [naked man and Lola in unison] Do you wanna talk about this? I know you may be a little freaked out. [still in unison] Oh my God, what's happening to me? This is insane! No, no, you're not insane. You are just discovering things about yourself you didn't know were there. You can say that again. - Will you get out of here! This is my apartment. No, not you. Listen, honey, we have to talk about this. You don't have to leave all freaked out. Lola, I'll explain everything... everything tomorrow. Okay? I got to go. Yeah, but Cass, I'm worried about you. This is a big step for you but I want you to know that everything is gonna be okay. I've been through this myself. Oh no you haven't. [grunts] That was freaky. You're telling me! [horn honks] I had to sit through all that making out. Oh my God! What the hell are you doing in my car? What the hell am I doing talking to an imaginary guy who's totally naked! [exhales] Oh my God! Okay, okay, okay. Okay. Okay. O k a y. Let me think. That's not gonna work. Oh my God. Oh my God, I'm a schizophrenic lesbian! Could there be anything worse?! I wouldn't start driving, if I were you. - Shut up! I'll do what I wanna do! - Alright. I'm just saying. You're not a lesbian, by the way. What do I have to do to make you shut up?! You're not schizophrenic either. There's a reason I'm here. Okay. Okay, okay. What possible reason could I have for putting you here-- ignore him, Cass, just ignore him! Okay, that was a little schizophrenic. Oh my God. Okay, okay, okay. Okay! Let me humor this whole insane situation. Who are you and why are you in my head? Isn't it obvious? [honks horn] Okay, not only do I have a naked guy who's apparently, a figment of my imagination, but he's also the Dalai Lama! WHAT...is obvious? Nothing about what's happening right now is obvious! Now, would you put some clothes on, for Christ's sake! Put your seat belt on. What happened? If at first you don't succeed... That was amazing. You are incredible. Yeah, yeah, me. Me too. Amazing. Cass, what are you doing? What's up? Um... Nothing. Nothing. Oh yeah, that actually, that was amazing. I never thought sex with a woman could be that hot. Well, it does depend on your partner if you know what I mean. You know, you do everything I wish a man would do but...better. You know what I can do that no man can do? What? I can go on and on... The energizer bunny never looked so good. [casual music] [music continues] SEXUALITY, IS IT IN YOUR HEAD OR IN YOUR GROIN I'm in love with a woman. Okay. I know, I know, I've only been with men, how can I be gay-- You're not necessarily gay-- - but it's amazing! We are so compatible in every way. Have you ever felt that? I feel like I've known her in another life or something. Ah, and the sex! Weinstein, the sex is through the roof. You haven't told her about me? Because I've been trying to ignore you for weeks. You should've been gone by now. Why would you ignore me? I told you I was going on vacation, you postponed for the last two months. I wasn't-- I wasn't talking to you. Who were you talking to? You're gonna laugh. What is so funny? I didn't think I'd have to mention this to you because I thought he'd be gone by now, but every now and then [mutters] I'm sorry, you see a what? A naked guy! - A naked guy? I know he's all in my head but he just...he just pops up at the most inappropriate moments. Is he here now? Oh yeah. Letting it all hang out. You're loving this, aren't you? In my bedroom, in my therapist's office, in my shower-- you have some nerve. Are you talking to him right now? Weinstein, I know he's all in my head. I know I'm not crazy but- but- there he is! As plain as day, Naked. Muscular. Looking as beautiful as ever. I need a drink, damn it. Why haven't you told her about me? - Why should I? Okay, you know this is getting kind of weird. So, why don't you just tune out everything else that you might be perceiving in the world, alright? And you just focus in on me. If you saw what he looked like, you wouldn't be asking me to do that. Just, do it! - Okay. So, when do you you see him? All the time. Especially when I'm in bed with Lola. That's her name, the woman I'm having a relationship with now. So, he shows up when you're making love with your female lover. Now you're expressing your emotions about her again and in this very intimate setting, and there he is again. Ah. She's good. Weinstein, I know what you're getting at. I minored in psychology in college and I've analyzed enough characters in scripts to, no offense, be a therapist myself. What am I getting at? I have no idea. You know what she's getting at. Oh my god, how could someone so gorgeous be so annoying! Okay, focus. - Look, I... Weinstein, I don't feel well. I need some air. I'll see you tomorrow. I uh... our time is almost up, right? Alright, we're picking up where we left off. We need to talk about the naked guy! You have got to stop doing that. Why didn't you want to talk about me Cass? Alright, let's do this! Right here. In the middle of the park, in the middle of the day. Bring it on. Why don't you wanna talk about me? Because it's hard okay. How can I love this woman so passionately and still want men? Because you're bisexual. Okay, okay, alright already. So what if I am? How do I stop the-- the natural urge of wanting to be with men when I'm with a woman? - You don't! Are you suggesting I cheat on Lola? I'm not suggesting anything. -Right! I'm suggesting it! I feel like a closet heterosexual. How do you mean? - I don't know. If I'm having a relationship with a woman, doesn't that mean I'm not supposed to be into men anymore? Not necessarily. I guess, what I'm really asking is how can you be bisexual and still be monogamous? [unintelligible Kung Fu noises] Hello? One second. [screaming] Yeah. Yeah, this is she. Aha. What? Are you kidding me? Yes! Absolutely, absolutely. Thank you. Thank you, so much! I got the part. - What? Lola, I got the part! I got the part as the lead in the Spanish soap. Oh my God! That is amazing. I'm so excited. You are gonna be a star! I can't believe how excited I am. Oh God! - What's the matter? I'm gonna lose you, I know-- - No! I can't believe I meet the love of my life and I'm losing you to stardom. No! - Oh my God. Oh my-- What's the matter? Have a seat, please. I can't breathe. Hurry, get me a bag. What are you trying to do? Save me or kill me? You said get you a bag? A paper bag! To breathe into! Does that even work? - I don't know, I just need air. Calm down. - Oh, Cass! What are we gonna do? How are we gonna make this last? You know long distance relationships never work and I love you so much. I love you too, Lola. And nothing's ever gonna change that. Listen, we'll visit each other every month, talk on the phone everyday, and by the time you know it, I'm back. You know Spanish soaps, they shoot for seven or eight months; it's like a year long miniseries, except with lots of nudity and a baby being left on the church steps... What? Seven or eight months?! Are you going to be happy for me or what? - I am, I am. Yay! [alternating cheering and crying] Have you told Peter, yet? - Ugh, Peter? No way! He doesn't want to have anything to do with me. I may call him though, just to rub it in. He's not gonna believe I got a job in Miami. That's where he wanted both of us to end up. Chock full of irony, isn't it? - Totally. So, are you seeing anyone? God sis, you don't waste any time do you? Going right for the good stuff. What could be more exciting than sex? Hmm, you got a point there. Well, I am seeing someone, but it's in the early stages, and we really don't want anyone to know yet. What do you mean, you don't want anyone to know? What's the big secret? What are you dating, Batman? No, more like Catwoman? You are dating a transvestite? Thank god this trip is only two hours-- no you weirdo, I'm not dating a transvestite. I'm dating...I'm dating a female. A female what? A female kangaroo, What do you think I'm dating?! A female human being! Oh! Oh! Oh! What the hell are you smiling about? It's all good, Cass. - What? I just didn't think you had it in you. Me? I live on the edge, baby. On the precipice of life. Besides, sorry to disappoint you sis, but I am a free spirit. I go where the wind takes me. I flow, baby. I flow! -Yeah, you're flowing alright. I just didn't think you were the sexually experimental type. That's cause you know nothing about my sex life. Uh, what sex life? The boring one you had with your husband? Or the one you've been fantasizing about for ages? The point is Evette, I'm with a woman. She's incredible. Plus, I bet you can't say the same thing for yourself. I've done both sexes-- - Don't be so sure. I've had relationships with both-- What? Evette Manconi, you've been with a woman? Well, I haven't exactly been with a woman. No, no, no, you've either been with one or you haven't. Now, which is it? Details! I want details! - I am trying to tell you. Listen. I was 20 years old. It was my sophomore year in college. Did I have the purple hair then? I don't know, was that the year you only dressed in purple too? Yes! Okay, listen, sophomore year in college, twenty years old, purple hair and I... kissed my best friend. - Oh my God! Did I know her? No, she was totally goth and didn't like being introduced to other people. So, I kissed my best friend and we... slept together. Almost! That's it? You almost slept together? That is truly the worst lesbian escapade I have ever heard in my entire life. What are you talking about? We were attracted to each other. She kissed me. But you didn't go all the way. That doesn't count. What do you mean it doesn't count? It was exciting. I mean, I wasn't into it after that, but I'm telling you, it was thrilling. You're pathetic, you know that? Do me a favor, don't tell anyone that story. It'll shock them into boredom. No, no, we didn't have any clothes on. Do you understand? No clothes! Big whoop, nudity with no labial action doesn't count. We were drinking and smoking. She wanted to continue. Are you kidding me? Inebriation?! Everyone's gay after two drinks. Everybody knows that! [Evette] You think you can help me out, here? [laughing] Can you believe he said that to me?! I wanted to kick him in his balls! [Cassanova] So why didn't you? Because! Joe wouldn't let me. He was afraid the guy would go after him. Oh my God! That reminds me of another story. - Which one? The one about the transvestite. Oh, I have a wonderful story about-- - Not now, Ma. Not now. [speaking in Spanish] No ma, it's not that. It's just that... I have something important to tell you. Yes? Well... It's sort of... you see... I'm kinda-- - She's kinda in love with a woman. Evette! - What? And? And... that's it. That kind of news doesn't need an 'and' Mommy. That's definitely the end of a sentence. Well... Well, what? Are you okay? I'm thinking. You know English is not as easy as Spanish for me. So... Speak in Spanish, Ma! What are you translating for the United Nations? We speak Spanish too. [speaking in Spanish] Okay, here it is: Do you love her? Yeah. Does she love you? Yeah. At least she tells me so. Does she love Cuban food? Almost more than me. Does she where guayaberas, smoke cigars and most important, is she a communist? None of the above. But, she is a democrat. - Ugh. Well, okay. We can work on that. [Cassanova's mother] Congratulations, Cassanova. Thanks. She sounds wonderful. So far. Okay? When can I meet... - Lola, her name is Lola. Whenever you want. Whenever you come up or when she comes down to visit, I guess. Okay, wonderful! She sounds great Ma. Cass told me all about her. She's an actress, she's a teacher. Oh my goodness, how wonderful! Miriam's here. Mommy! What ever you do, do not tell Miriam about Lola. And risk another charming evening with the lovely Sybil? No thank you. No thank you. Oh Miriam! We've been waiting for you. And we've been having such great conversation. Were you guys talking about me? I'm sure you were talking about me. You're always talking about me. Did you forget to take your paranoia medication today, Miriam? We were not talking about you. There's not enough hours in the day for that. - How you doing, Miriam? - Sure. Whatever. Hey Miriam, can you believe I'm gonna be living here again? Why? What do you mean 'why', space head? I told you, Cass got a lead in mom's soap. Don't you ever listen to anybody else's voice besides the ones in your head. Oh, yeah. That's nice. - Don't get too excited now. I said 'congratulations.' No. You did not say 'congratulations.' Did you hear congratulations? I didn't hear nothing. I didn't hear 'congratulations' either, because if I would've heard 'congratulations', ooh. We would have been like, congratulations! Yes! Congratulations! How uncharacteristically kind of her! Congratulations, Cassanova! There you heard it! You already said it. So I'll say it a million times because I love you and I'm so proud of you, baby. Let me give you a hug. - No! Okay, I'm going to freshen up a bit. So you girls continue to battle 'til I get back. Have fun! I'm gonna go freshen up too. [Evette] Thanks a lot. See ya! - Hello. - Hello, Lola? - Cass! - Hey! What's up, sweetheart? Is this your mom's number? Yeah, my cellphone died. How's it going? Everything's fine, but I'm missing you like crazy. This sucks. I miss you too, but don't worry, it's only a few months. We could talk everyday, and I could go visit you every few weeks or so. Right, and I'll come down when I have days off. Yeah. I love you. - I love you too. How's the family? - They're great. They totally understood. Really? What did they say? You don't own any guayaberas, do you? You mean those cool Cuban shirts with the stitching down the sides? I love those shirts. My dad used to wear them. That's fine for your Dad, as long as you never wear them. That's weird. I just heard a click on the other end. What? Sweet Jesus, you're not going to believe what I just heard on the phone. Lola, I just heard a click on the other end of the phone. You were listening to somebody's conversation on the phone? What's wrong with you? - I didn't do it on purpose. I went to make a phone call and then I...heard it. When you pick up the phone and you hear somebody else on the other end, You hang up! But I didn't. - Well, you should've. Shit! - What? What's happening? My sister Miriam was listening to our whole conversation! So? - So? I was saying I love you, I miss you, I wanna jump your bones. To a woman! She doesn't know yet. I'm hanging up. - No! No, you wait right there. Oh God, Lola what am I gonna do? Tell her I'm your agent. Okay, so I'm having an affair with my agent who's still a WOMAN! I forgot about that. Oh, Lord, lordy lord, you're not going to believe what I just heard on the phone. What, for Christ's sake? What?! Okay. Are you ready? Because you're going to freak out when I tell this. Okay, can you spill it, please? Our...sister... our sister... ...is a... ...a le... ...a lesbian! [mother] Okay, I'm ready! Mommy! Shit! I got to go. I'm jumping into the flames. Stop, drop, and roll. You're not going to believe what I'm going to tell you about Cassanova! Shut up. I know already. Let's go eat. Fish is great. How's your steak? - Great! This wine. What's the name of this cabernet? I don't know. Ma, what's the name of this cabernet? Nobody tells me anything. I'm always the last to know everything. Of course, you all think I'm some kind of a retard. I know what you think. You think I can't be trusted. Well, you're the ones who can't be trusted. Waiter, can I have another bottle of this? Always the black sheep. Always the black sheep. Ever since I was a little girl, everyone's hated me. This place is really nice, Ma. Have you been here before? Yes, yes... I'm the pimple faced one. I'm the one who takes medication. I'm the one who joined the army. Pass the butter, please. Thank you. How could nobody tell me this? How could I be the last to know? How come I never-- You know why we don't tell you anything? Because of this! This reaction you're having right now is not normal! You're acting like it's the end of the world! So what, our sister is with a woman now. Big deal! Waiter, can I have a case of this wine? You know what? Maybe I should try a woman! If it's too easy and it's no big deal, maybe I should, right? All the men I've been with stink, so why not give women a try! Why not? Because you hate women, Miriam. You hate men. Oh wait, that's not right, you hate everybody! You kinda have to like people in order to love them. Ya know, it's mandatory! Besides, who says I'm gay?! Who?! What did she write? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying any of this to make you feel any better, It's kind of nice seeing you all discombobulated. I've always loved men. I will continue to love men. What I am, for lack of a better term... Don't say it! Some people might not really get it-- Exactly. ...until they've been through it themselves. Don't say it! But I'm... ...bisexual. Ah! I need to pee. - Told you not to say it. Me too! Bisexual? What's the matter with you? She's our sister, you douche! Who cares if she's with a woman now as long as she's happy! Happiness is not everything, you know. What? What are people going to think? What people?! You have no friends! That's besides the point! What if she gets some le... What if she gets some lesbian disease, huh? Huh?! What if she starts going to those uh...whatchahoosit clubs on the underground? - Okay! If you ever use the word whatchahoosit ever again, I'm gonna cease being related to you. Well, what do they call those clubs? I'm assuming you mean sex clubs? -Shh! Shh! Like anybody hasn't been listening. What the hell are you staring at? You've never seen two sisters arguing over another sister's sexuality before? I just needed more water. Oh, you need some water? That's fine, I'll get you water. You want some water? Here. Here's some water for you. Here's your FUCKIN' water. You're happy now? Anybody else fuckin' thirsty? I didn't think so. I'm leaving. Freeze! Not you, you idiot. You listen to me Miriam. It's 'the' underground, not 'on' the underground, you dork! And just in case you missed that PBS special on STD's, there are no known diseases you can get solely from sleeping with women, otherwise, all heterosexual men would be infected! Well, I may not understand about homosexuals or bisexuals, but what I do know is that you... you're vulgar! You're vulgar! Always have been. You tell me, which one is worse. Oh my god, universe, can you please help me? Who the hell are you and can I exchange you without a receipt? Lilian Canto, is that your mother? Shut up! Gimme the keys, I'm driving! Excuse me, please. Can I have your attention, please for a moment? Thank you very much. I would like to apologize on behalf of my sister. [man] The bisexual one? [speaking in Spanish] You know I was this close to getting Burn Notice. I love that show. Go over there. That was fun. You were great, as usual. So were you, thank you. Cassanova, we need you in wardrobe. Scene 23 coming up. Ok, thanks, I'll be right there. So you coming to my party tonight? I don't know. I'm gonna be so beat after today. C'mon Cass, you haven't been to one of my parties since we started working together. And it's been four months. [old timey playgirl accent] I know, and you make it hard for a girl to say no, if you know what I mean. Uh, is that supposed to be your Mae West impression? No? - Maybe? Just a little-- - Cass, we need you in wardrobe now. Okay, okay! So you coming to my party? Okay, but only if you dance! How's this? Now that's way worse than my Mae West! I know. I know. See, I got the hips and the... I know, I know I got the hips going- - No. Look, I was the Salsa King in college. Yeah right, where'd you go to college, Iowa? Keep working on it. See ya tonight. [dancing noises] So, you and Jose are a thing, huh? What? No! - What are you doing? [scoffs awkwardly] You have to stop doing that. I don't know what you're doing but I just wanna turn around and look for a horse and carriage. Cass, I know you and Jose have a thing for each other. Subi! We've only gone out a couple of times. Seven times. Seven? He told you seven times? In two months. He's keeping count? What are we in seventh grade? - Apparently! You have not even kissed him yet and it's been seven times! Alright. Alright. Enough with the Cassanova Canto Exposed Report. I gotta go get ready. Alright, but you know what, if I were you, I'd be tapping that shit. Yeah, well, it's not you, okay? He's so hot. [Latin party music] [girl 1] I'm doing cinematography on this movie, but I used to love photography. Especially when I photographed all the beautiful models! [voices are becoming distorted] [girl 2] Oh yeah! I'd miss that too! Being surrounded by all those beautiful women. What could be better? What did the male models look like? - WHO CARES! [sounds distorted and devilish] [girl 1] It's just a matter of time, baby. [Lola's voice] You like that primal, thrusting action, but once you've been with a woman, you'll never go back. Honey, he can say he's straight around his women and the men on the down-low but eventually, he's gonna have to admit that he's gay. Live the life. But couldn't he be bisexual? Pobrecita, no! Bisexuality is the last stop before Homoville. [everyone] One stop to homoville. Yeah, all the bisexual people I know are constantly cheating on their spouses! Couldn't he be a bisexual monogamist? What the hell is that? Everyone's bisexual until they're gay. They literally asked me to join them! [voices are still distorted, cackling in the background] It was me and the two chicks in bed! It was awesome! C'mon baby, threesomes rock! All these hot chicks that are into women all of a sudden, It's just 'cause they haven't found the right guy. But wait, wait, what if you love women and men at the same time? That's what I mean, babe. Me and two women AT THE SAME TIME! [says in unison with guys] In the end you wanna be held by a man. [everyone] Eventually you have to choose. Eventually you have to choose. I was wondering where you were. Are you okay? Cass? - Yeah. What? - Where you going? I thought I'd take you to breakfast and then to that nice exhibit you've been wanting to see. Yeah but I gotta...I gotta work. It's Sunday. I mean... I got a lot of things to do. I'll see you tomorrow. [Cassanova] Where the hell were you last night? Shut up! Voicemail. Voicemail. Hey! Lola, I was really hoping I could talk to you this morning. You never answer your phone. I really have something important to tell you. Where are you? Hold on a second... I have to answer the door. Surprise! Look at this place. I feel like a poor kid, adopt me. Cass! You are so surprised! I love it! You didn't know I was coming, did ya? No idea. I was so good. I am not usually good at this, but you got to admit, this was good. - Too good. Look at this place! Oh my God, It's as big as a church and lord knows I haven't been there in ages. Wait, wait, take one. Resplendent. How are you, sweetie! Listen, I only have three days. I figured, we could make the most of it. We could go to the beaches and just hang out. I missed you so much. Ooh, is that your mom? - I don't know. Let's go find out. - She'd have her keys. Hola! This is gonna be fun. Why did you slam the door like that? It was a package. Just leave the package by the doorstep sir! Thank you! Cass, what are you talking about? It's me! Let me in! Cass, why are you acting so weird? Just open the door. Do you know him? - Yes! Come on in. - Thanks. Hi, I'm Lola, Cass' partner. I'm Jose. Now before I tell you who I am, did you mean partner like in business or... No, no, no, no. Lovers. No, not business partners. It's kinda tricky these days. Yeah, it's even trickier when you also have a boyfriend. I'm Cass' boyfriend. And the Oscar for 'Female In Most Painfully Awkward, Yet Utterly Entertaining Situation' goes to... I told you to keep quiet. He's not my boyfriend! - Oh no? Well, he seems to disagree. Cass c'mon, we've been seeing each other for a couple of months now. [naked man sings] And the grave digger digs deeper... Cass, is this true? How could you do this? You never told me you were in a relationship. Yeah, Cass, why didn't you tell either one of them what was going on? Well, somebody's gonna have to leave. Yes, someone should leave. Pffft, I'm not leaving. Bye now. CASS! Jose, can I talk to you tomorrow, please? Fine, but I'm calling you manana. Jose! Fuck Cass, what did you do?! - I didn't do anything. Did you cheat on me, with a man? What?! Lola, what are you doing? No, wait. Please! We can...we can work this out. I don't know what happened. I don't understand it myself. Sometimes, I can't do this total gay thing. Sometimes I miss men. It's just not the way I'm built. You know how people say, how can I come out of the closet? How can I come out of the closet, when I've never been in? Look, what I do know is that I'm in love with you. You're the only one I ever really want to be with, You're the only person who can help me through this. Listen to me Cass, I'm only gonna say this once. You are bisexual. And there's nothing wrong with it. You are neither gay nor straight, no matter what anybody says. This is who you are! You have to get used to it. Stop caring about all these labels! Lola, please! We need labels! Be realistic! Otherwise, how would anybody know what to do with those little soap balls in the baskets, little soap pellets you put in the bathtub when you... Shut up, Cass! Look, I wanna be monogamous. I like being in a relationship. How am I supposed to choose? The choice is love, Cass. But that's all over now. Holy crap, it's my mom. Just keep it down for a second. No! Fuck you and fuck the horse you rode in on! Fuck it all! Wait, just wait one second, okay? Hi Mommy! Hi Cass! Just wait one second, please. Mom, this is Lola. Lola? This is Lilia, my mom. Hi Ms. Canto, it's nice to finally meet you. Me too. I am very glad to meet you. Cass was telling me everything-- Excuse me, Mrs. Canto, I'm really sorry, but I have a plane to catch. Don't ever call me again! She's nice. [Cassanova's mother] Mamita, do you want to talk about it? No ma, I just want to be left alone. Dinner's ready. I'm not hungry. I made croquetas. Okay, maybe just one. Good morning! Thanks. Jesus, is this economy ever gonna recover? I hope so. People are losing their jobs, left and right. Thank you. She's not talking to me, you know. She's not talking to me either. You just got here. Still. I miss her so much, Weinstein. I don't know what to do. And I know I can't cheat on her again. No you can't. We're perfect for each other, you know. We love the same movies, we laugh at the same things, You know how hard it is to find somebody you're completely compatible with? Yes, I do. Love isn't supposed to be this complicated. The last time I was in love, it was so clear, you know, here. This time, I'm just as in love, but it's different. How so? Can't you just answer a question that doesn't start with a question? Aren't you getting paid enough? One answer, Weinstein. Just one. Okay. How's this? I can't help you with the what happens out there. All I can do here, without the distractions from out there, is help you with what you're feeling. Straight, gay, bi, all of those are just labels to make people feel safe. Make 'em try and understand something they can't or won't understand. That's okay. But in here, you don't need those labels. You're always going to be attracted to people. Let's just put aside, for a second the fact that it's both genders for you, okay? You either want to be in a faithful relationship or you don't. Fidelity is a choice. I think we're gonna have to continue this next week. Okay. But Weinstein, what am I gonna do? Just remember what I told you. Who you are isn't defined by your sexuality or by the labels other people put on you. In the end, love trumps all of that. [Cassanova narrating] So here I am. At a crossroads of some sort. I really love to love, you know. I've learned, you should never be afraid to take that leap, to try something new, no matter how scary or unimaginable it seems to be. No matter what all the sides think. You know, an acting teacher told me once, you have to take risks on stage, and even though the choices may not always be the right ones, you not only have fun trying, but in the end, you always learn something about the character. I guess Professor Stewart wasn't just talking about acting. David! David! Hey! - Hey! How are you? - Good, how are you? You look great. - So do you. Thank you. Look, I'm sorry I talked your ear off last night. Oh, that's okay. You had a lot to say. Yeah, but two hours? ? Three. Listen, I...I... No, you go ahead. I just need some time. She really threw me for a loop, you know. And I get that. Cass, we can take all the time you need. I just like being with you. I just like being with you too. Good. Fuck. Lola! -Cass. It's so great seeing you. - It's great seeing you. Feels like ages. You look fantastic. Well, I feel like hell. I haven't been sleeping much. I had these, roommates that kept me up all night. David! David! Lola, this is David. David, this is Lola. Pleasure meeting you. So you're the famous Lola? - Oh, I haven't done anything big. I mainly do theater, commercials- No, no. He knows. I've told him about you. I hope she didn't give you the gory details. No, just the sexy stuff. David, can you give us a second. - Oh sure. Lola, if you wanna come to lunch with us, we are just grabbing a bite. Oh thanks, David but... - Just one second, please. He's cute. He looks so familiar. You don't know the half of it. How long have you been with him? Not long. You're living in Hoboken now? Yeah. I miss you Lola. I can't eat. I can't sleep. I'm miserable. Cass, you devastated me. Lola, I'm truly, truly sorry. I just wish we could start over again, ya know. I admit we did start a little too quickly. Too quickly? Lola, I moved into your place two weeks after I left my husband. Hindu arranged marriages have more 'get to know each other time' than we did. Yeah, but what about him? Him? Baby steps? Lola, baby steps. C'mon, I know you're hungry. David! - Ready? - Yeah. Where have I seen you before? [continue chatting] |
