It's supposed to be a totally silent retreat but Julia said she hiked out to the lake every week to call her son.
Excuse me, can you cut your enging until I'm ready to go? Thanks! So I expect you to put her on the phone with me.
Of course I'll put her on the phone with you.
I wanna call her from the road this afternoon so where will you be? I was thinking of going to visit Kit and everyone in the recording studio.
- You're kidding me! - Why, is there a problem? Well, the problem is that you no longer have the privilegies of being my life partner.
- WoaaWhat? - Don't get all golden-affronted! You're the one who's breaking up the family.
- I'm not breaking up - Yes, you are, Tina! You don't love me.
You know, you have been changing who you are and yes, you are breaking up this family! You know, it's about time that we both just got real about it.
Sowhile I'm away and meditating I'm gonna try What is she doing here? - Hey.
- Hello Roberta.
How long have you been here? I'm getting ready to write up my report to the bureau and I was in the neighborhood.
A gay dad wants to adopt a crack baby.
And are you endorsing their petition? They're a wonderful family.
They've been together for 19 years and this is their third child.
How are you two doing? - Wonderful! - Fine! Is there anything you wanna tell me? Have there been changes afoot? Well, I meanwe're working out some things, but I mean, frankly We think it's really between me and Tina.
- Couple go through changes all the time.
- Yeah.
And you're still intending on proceeding with this adoption? - Of course we are! - Absolutely! Listen, i've gotta get going.
Flight at 10.
30.
Where're you going? If i may ask.
I'm going to the Mahabodi monastery, in Olympia, Washington, I'm going on a meditation retreat.
How long will you be gone? Well, I guess that's fine considering Angelica will be home and safe with her mother.
And her other mother will be home with her in 10 days enlightened and better able to cope with any changes that are afoot Goodbye, baby.
I love you, little Angie.
I love you! There you go.
Excuse me.
Bye, Angie! Say 'Bye mama'! 'Bye mama'! Are you sure you wanna go through with this adoption? Of course i do! Why would you say that? Because it's obvious that you and Bette are not happy campers.
What if you get involved with someone else, Tina? I don't think that's relevant.
It's highly relevant! Bette is Angelica's other mother.
You wouldn't even be saying this if we were a heterosexual couple! You just might wanna think about it.
I'm just picking Dylan up.
Shall I bring you coffee? I'm just talking to Alice.
Ok, i'll see you at the Woody studio.
What time are you gonna get there? - Hi.
- Hi.
I can't tell you, I'm so excited to meet Nona Hendrix.
I'm the hugest fan.
You mind if I just make one more quick call? I'm pretty sure I've got the jet for tomorrow.
- For the game? - Yeah.
Dana's this huge basketball fan.
The 'San José Lightnings' is her favorite team.
Andyou're flying everyone out on your mother's jet? You think it's too much? You think it's too much! I don't think it's too much.
I think it's amazing! It is! It's likethe most incredible thing to do for your friend who's sick I think you're amazing! Thank you.
I'm getting in the car.
Guysermcan I make a suggestion? I think Kit should sing through the first chorus by herself and then you guys come in on the second chorus.
I don't think we've heard enough of her yet.
You want me to sing that line by myself? What's he saying? I think maybe we double up on the first chorus and then do the second chorus three times because it's very strong.
ErmAngus We're just trying to do this scratch with the vocals right now, so can we just complete it and try something else later? Ok, Paul, let's try that again and take it from the top of the chorus, please.
Who's next? - Hey.
- Hi Shane.
I'm sorry, I gotta take these two.
Come on.
Give me these.
Are you ready? Yeah.
Auntie Kit.
Kit! Hey Alison, how are you? Thank you so much for letting us come.
Oh honey, you know you can come any time.
This is my friend Dylan Moreland.
- Hey, how're you doing.
- Really nice to meet you.
I don't know if it would be a pain but you think you could you introduce Dylan to Nona? She's a huge fan.
Oh sure, no problem! Oh Nona, come here! Come here, girl! Nona Hendrix, I want you to meet some of my friends and your biggest fan right here - Hi, Dylan, it's so good to meet you.
- Great, great to meet you! So, I thought you guys were just friends.
We are! - Oh God, yeah right.
- We are! Kit, phone call for you.
It's your sister.
Where're you at right now? Almost at the airport.
Listen Kit, can you do me a big favor? Yeah! Sure.
Can you call Tina and just let her now that she's welcome to come visit you at the recording studio? ErmTina just walked in.
She what? Yeah, she just walked in with Helena and her friend.
You're kidding me? Hello? Bette? Bette? Lost her.

I'm afraid that gender reassignment surgery isn't yet included on any insurance policy.
They see it as an elective procedure.
Hey listen, I just got my advance so why don't I use the money that the publisher gave me and i'll pay for it.

- I wanna pay for it.
- I just wouldn't feel right about it, you know.
- No, I feel fine.
- It's nice but I just - I wanna pay for it.
Do you know what a lot of people do? Well, not a lot, but some of my patients they hold top surgery benefit parties.
They invite their friends in from the community and raise the funds to pay for their top surgeries.
Yeah, let's do that! Ok What's the tempo? Take it down to, let's say, 102.
- That's not gonna work.
- What is not gonna work? - That's not gonna work! Angus, come on baby.
Come on.
Baby, what's going on? - Nothing's going on.
Do you not want me to be a part of it? - No no, of course I want you to be a part of it.

I mean, you worked really hard to create the body you have.
Your whole life's been in that.
You're right.
And i want you to know You don't have to accept this Maybe I shouldn't even say it but It's life and death for me too.
But you don't have cancer.
Hello ladies, it's your captain here.
I hope you've enjoyed the ride so far.
We're going to approach for a landing at the San José airport in approximatively 10 minutes.
Oh, that does not look good.
- I feel sorry for him.
- Oh please.
He so deserves this.
I've seen Kit do this over and over again.
I can just imagine what she's saying to that poor boy.
- Do you wanna know? - Yes.
I was looking forward to working with them until working with them became working with you and them.
And then, 'Angus can you take the baby for a while?' - No no no, I just - Look I'm sorry, ok? I stepped over the line and I'm sorry for that.
It's because I love you.
I certainly didn't mean to embarrass you in front of you friends.
Why don't you apologize to themnot to me! Well, I will apologize to them but you're the one who makes me feel like a fucking adolescent because I'm so in love with you.
You're the one I wanna spend the rest of my life with.
You are the one I want to marry me.
- That's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.
- I mean it! You don't mean it! You're young.
You wanna have a family.
You wanna have kids.
Oh i see.
Now you're the expert in what I want.
I'm not the expert.
But I've seen you with my niece.
I've seen you with kids and you know whatyou've got Shut the fuck up, Kit! I've known you for 25 years and I've seen you blow more relationships.
You got a good one here and I think you oughta think twice before you send him pack it.

I think she has a point here.
No, you shut up! Kiss the bride, fucker! And you shut up too! No - You shut up.
- Come on Come on! Andshe's going Is everything good? - I meanis there any press when we get in there? - Already taken care of.
- Hey.
Aren't you Dana Fairbanks? - No, I'm sorry.
- You don't like being recognized, huh? - No, not like this.
Soerm What did you mean back in the plane about life and death for you? The first time I tried to kill myself.
I was like 10 years old.
And I fought against it because I really believed it was a sin.
But I knew, I was like I knew this wasn't my life.
You were 10 when you tried to kill yourself? Yeah.
But I knew this wasn't my life.
I was like I don't know.
I thought, maybe if i die and then came back God would put me in the right body.
Ladies and Gentleman, we have someone very special in the house tonight.
Let's give it up for the 2006 Mercedes Challenge Ladies Tennis Champion: Miss Dana Fairbanks! The San José Lightnings congratulate you, Dana! Sports fans, make some noise! We love you, so excited you're here! Thank you! - Get me outta here! - Dana It's not for you It's for them.
