Cassanova Was a Woman Page #9

F*** 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! F*** you and f*** the horse

you rode in on! F*** 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.

F***.

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?
