If These Walls Could Talk 2 Page #3

---

Discussed the possibility

of your staying on here.

But, as I said, with taxes

and the upkeep and all,

It's just gonna be

more practical for us

if we sell the house.

You know, Edith,

it might be better for you

in the long run to get...

A nice apartment

or a room somewhere...

Where you don't have to worry

about cleaning the house

or taking care of the yard.

Daddy ?

Yeah ?

One of the baby birds

fell out of the nest.

What should I do ?

Just leave it, sweetheart.

It's not supposed to make it.

Uh, why don't you guys

finish packing up

while I talk to edith.

Why don't you take this box

out to the car ?

Do you want one of these ?

No, thank you.

Okay.

Here's what we'll do.

Uh, I won't put the house

on the market until I'm sure

you're settled someplace else.

And, as I said,

I'll make sure that

you're compensated.

I think that's

what we should do.

If you knew

your aunt at all--

If you...

Knew about

all the marvelous things

that she did...

And how good she was

and funny...

And tender...

And brave and smart--

If you knew how hard

she worked...

Just to find a little peace

in this life--

If you knew at all,

then you'd know...

What she wanted.

And this wasn't it.

No, my dear,

this certainly wasn't it.

Okay, Edith,

we're gonna go now.

Why don't I call you

in a couple of weeks,

And we'll see

where things are at ?

- Mm-hmm.

Well, Edith,

it was very nice to meet you,

And I am so very sorry

about your loss.

Hey, how late was that woman

here last night ?

Very, very late.

Man, you scored.

What happened ?

Well, you know,

we're lyin' there afterwards,

and I'm thinkin'--

That was nice.

You know, she seems cool.

It was almost as if

i said it out loud,

'cause the girl starts

freaking out, saying this is her

first experience with a woman,

And she just wanted to know

what it was like.

Oh, great,

the science experiment.

Sometimes I feel like...

We're the only people

in the world that really

understand each other.

Baby, you just need

to get laid.

No ! I just want

a real relationship.

Linda, you wouldn't know what

to do with a real relationship.

The second we started going out,

you lost interest.

Jeanne, that's unfair.

We both said we're better

at being friends.

We are.

I just mean,

you're way into your freedom.

Look, I'm not saying

that I don't want my freedom.

I just--

I just think it's possible

to have that and be in love too.

Well, after the revolution,

We can all find love.

Good morning !

Peace, man !

So f***ing uptight !

Back it up, baby.

Here we go. Let's roll.

Then my mother says to me,

"the whole point of your

college education...

Is to meet a nice boy."

get the f*** outta here.

That's exactly what I said.

You said "f***"

to your mother ?

No. I just told her

it was hard enough

to meet a nice girl.

- Shh, shh.

- Hey.

Sh*t, we're not

this late, are we ?

The college told us

we can't have our meetings

on campus anymore.

They don't want to support us

because they think

we're a lesbian group.

But they can't

do that to us.

- Yes,

They can do that, Linda.

Look, we have to be

really clear about what kind

of group we are. We just--

We feel it's too risky to

include your issues right now.

- Are you kidding me ?

- First we have to fight for

the real issues of feminism:

Equal rights

between men and women.

There isn't any room

for you guys.

Diane, we started

this group together.

I worked my butt off...

To get free birth control

on this campus !

What do you think--

i was protecting my right

to screw frat boys ?

That is exactly

the kind of attitude

we don't need in here.

We did it for you !

We did it for you !

settle down !

- just shut up !

It's our group too !

I just can't get over diane.

Forget about her.

Screw them.

Why don't we go out ?

Where do you

wanna go ?

I don't know.

I don't wanna run

into any of 'em.

F*** 'em.

We got each other.

We can go to that gay bar

that's out near the highway.

I heard that place

was a dump.

Yeah, a dump.

Well, yeah,

but aren't you

still curious ?

Not "reary."

not "reary."

Are-are you sure

this is a lesbian bar ?

It's a dyke bar.

Whoo, Linda !

Would you lay off ?

One more time, y'all !

Linda,

we're not staying here.

Come on, it could be fun.

You girls sure

you're in the right place ?

We're not girls,

we're women !

Yeah. Could we get

a pitcher of beer, please ?

You're gonna have to come

get it yourself, sweetheart.

There's no table service.

Okey-dokie.

Looks like the women's movement

is alive and kicking here

at georgette's bar.

Man.

- Look at that suit !

Careful, she might

slip you her number.

I'm tellin' you, you're gonna

get picked up on by her.

I know.

Here.

- Thank you.

Aw, him's jealous, baby.

Aw, man, tell me

that's not a tie.

yeah, I even got my dad

to stop wearing one.

Yeah, on a woman,

it's ten times

more offensive.

sh*t, I'm all out of smokes.

Be right back.

- Hey, could I get

a pack of smokes, please ?

- Cigarette machine is busted.

Really ? Is the machine

busted for everyone, or

is it just busted for me ?

Hey, me and my friends

are gay, you know ?

What do you want ?

A medal ?

I wouldn't take it personally.

I don't think she's ever fixed

that machine.

Want one ?

Thanks.

I got it.

Thank you.

- My pleasure.

Keep the pack.

You sure ?

I don't really smoke.

I just carry 'em

to look tough.

Does looking tough

make it easier to go

to a bar alone ?

I like being alone.

Really ?

You wanna dance ?

I can't.

My friends are--

Thank you.

Come on,

let's get outta here.

You know, I think

I'm just gonna stick around

for a little while longer.

Oh, linda, come on.

This is some bullshit.

Let's go.

No, it's cool.

I'll meet you guys

at the house later.

All right, bye !

- See ya.

There you go.

Look, I'm not gonna

just abandon you here.

It's my choice.

Looks like

your friends left.

Looks like it.

Now, would you like to dance ?

Yeah.

I'll bet your mom made you take

ballroom dancing.

how'd you know ?

I know a few things

about you.

For starters,

I know you're interested.

You stayed when

all your friends left.

Curious, in a way.

Curiosity turns me on.

It's really nice of you

to give me a ride.

okay.

It's gonna get cold

on the back of the bike.

Well, what about you ?

I'm used to it.

Now ?

Hold on tighter.

This isn't about sex.

It's about not falling off.

whoo !

There !

I could ride around

all night on this.

I drove 300 miles

from my hometown

the day after I bought it.

Kept forgetting

which was the brake

and which was the clutch.

Oh, good !

Now you tell me.

So, do you live

near here ?

On fourth street.

I'm sorry,

you probably wanna

get goin'.

So, what, you're finished

with me now ?

- No, I didn't

mean it like that.

- I'm only kidding.

You're pretty easy to get.

I thought you were

a tough feminist.

I am.

I thought you were

just tough.

Well, what do you think now ?
