Cassanova Was a Woman Page #3

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--
