Lola Versus Page #6

---

- Yeah.

Just one sec.

You see, I learned everything

I know about being a woman...

...from 90210.

That explains a lot.

In every woman-- Henry.

In every woman...

- ...there's a Brenda...

- Mm-hm.

...Kelly, my personal favorite...

...a Donna, hopefully minus

the gaping boob-hole...

...and an Andrea.

See, every woman is all of those women.

See?

Well, what about Emily Valentine?

Well, he really sounds like a nice guy.

We've only been out twice,

but he is definitely courting me.

He designs prisons.

- I don't like him.

- Neither do I.

- Well, get rid of him.

- I gotta take what I can get.

Come on. You're Lola.

You can get whoever you want.

- So you and Henry are talking again.

- Yeah.

I mean...

I mean, that was stupid.

I get it.

- Cool.

- Yeah.

I mean, he's been really cool

these last few weeks.

We've been hanging out.

It's been like old times.

But, you know, his place, it sucks.

- And my place, it's huge.

- So?

I was thinking, you know,

he might move in with me.

Or he is. He's moving in with me.

What?

I'm sorry. Is that--? Is that totally weird?

- No.

- Good.

Sounds like a super-fun party house.

Miami.

I'm gonna have some people over.

We're having some people over...

...and, I mean, I'd love for you to come.

I'll be there.

Great.

I never wanted this for you.

I work my whole life, I don't apologize,

to take care of my family.

And I refused to be a fool...

...dancing on the string

held by all those big shots.

But I thought that, when it was your turn,

that you would be the one to hold the strings.

Well, it wasn't enough time.

But, that being said,

I pledge on the souls of my grandchildren...

...that I will not be the one to break the peace

we have made here today.

Did you just break up with me

as the Godfather?

You know what we should do sometime?

We should get a nice bottle of red

and just do the trilogy.

Lola! It's not even the best Godfather.

That's-- Pfft!

Ahh.

What is it you'd like to accomplish today

in your hypnotic trance?

I'd just like to find quiet.

My mind is, like, on crazy overdrive.

I'm constantly obsessing about everything.

Food, boys.

I need to concentrate,

I need to be writing, I can't do it.

Yeah, I just--

I'm unable to be in the moment.

Then that's exactly what we'll work on.

Close your eyes.

Oh, my God. I'm s--

I'm just turning it off. It's just...

Right now. One second.

Okay. It's off. Okay.

Hey, Alice, it's me.

Listen, I'm really nervous

about going to Luke's party.

I feel like we're gonna be

the only single people there.

Do you think I should get a perm?

Also not sure if I should

wear something see-through.

Call me.

I feel like I haven't seen you in ages.

I don't know. I've been around.

Well, I called you twice last week

and you didn't call me back.

Really?

You know what? Um...

One of those nights, I think

I was at a concert, maybe, with Hen.

And then the other one...

I can't remember. My back is so sweaty.

This party's gonna suck. Let's just not go.

No, I can do this. I just saw both of them.

The only difference now is I'm seeing them...

...in the apartment that I thought

I'd raise my children in.

Yeah, you're right.

When you put it that way, it does sound fun.

I don't know if I can be here right now.

Does it make me look poor if I don't

eat the white outside part on the Brie?

What's up, Alice?

Oh, hey, what's up?

Where's Henry?

- He's over there.

- Oh, okay.

I'm gonna go say hi.

- You like the cheese?

- Yep.

So does your shirt.

Mm. Yeah, I'm eating for two.

What?

Oh, no. No, me and my shirt.

I'm eating for my shirt and me.

Sorry, that was such a dumb joke.

- I think I just peed a little, yeah.

- I'm totally not pregnant at all.

How are you and...?

- Who?

- Leggy

Her name is Peggy.

I know what her name is.

You seem really happy.

Hey, hey, let's go.

I think my TiVo's broken...

...and I have a very important episode

on the History Channel.

History of Witches. Do you--?

Oh, and Peggy says

she needs help with the ice, so...

Oh, right. You know,

she loves you, by the way.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

She loves you? How can she love you

after meeting you one time in a club?

So have you guys been talking?

Yeah, we're talking. That's what people do.

Um, anyway...

Oh, I was watching Chelsea Lately...

- Talking about what?

- Oh.

It's nothing. It's nothing important,

Honestly, don't worry about it.

We're not doing this here.

- Yes, we are.

- No, we're not.

- Yes, we are.

- What is going on?

Uh...

Okay. Lo, we need to talk.

- No.

- It's nothing.

I mean, it's something,

but it hasn't become anything.

I mean, without me telling you first.

- F***, I'm an a**hole. Sh*t, let me start over.

- No!

No, no, no, Lola.

- Listen to me. Not here, okay?

- No!

You could have just talked to me about it!

Then I wouldn't have been ambushed like this!

- I didn't go after this. It was an accident.

- No!

All you had to do was tell me you had feelings.

We could've talked!

- Whoa, guys

- Shut up!

When do I ever have time to tell you things?

- You're wrapped up in your own sh*t.

- Like I don't listen to your sh*t.

- All that sh*t with that actor Roger?

- At least I'm aware I'm not alone in this world.

I am alone in this world.

You've all left me alone.

I never left you, okay?

I've been beside you

every step of this process.

- The one time I step in front of you--

- I left you.

They didn't leave you. I left you.

And Alice and I, we make each other calm.

Calm, calm. If you were any more calm,

you would be dead.

Just work on you, okay, Lola?

Hey. Hey, lady-

Lady, there's only $2 here.

Hello. You want to go to jail, lady?

There's only $2 here! I'm talking to you!

Are you insane? You better get back here.

Mmm.

Mm.

Yeah, ladies! Mm. Mm.

Work the pole.

You know, Jessie Spano

was such a good girl, you know?

It's like why did she do it?

Like, the caffeine pills...

Get off the stage, b*tch!

I don't want to go with you.

I like these people. They're my friends.

No.

Okay.

I'm down. I'm all the way down.

- Get her out of here.

- I want to go back.

Oh, God.

I wish I could say that

this was someone else's fault.

That it was Luke's fault.

Or Henry's fault, or Alice's.

But it's not.

It's me.

Release your emotions.

Feel the healing power of the platza.

Relax.

You feel good.

Ah!

Huh? That's good.

- A little more. Good.

- Ah!

In his final poem,

Mallarm writes of shipwreck:

The man without a vessel

A solitary plume

Overwhelmed

Untouched

With very few words on the page...

...the writing itself creates space

for silence and pause.

For in this world of shipwreck...

...there is hope in uncertainty.

Hi, Alice.

It's Lola.

I know that you probably don't

want to see me...

...but I would love to see you.

I'm around, if you want.

Okay.

Bye.

Hey, remember how much

I loved Cinderella as a kid?

- What a sick f***ing kid.

- It's a classic.

It's what messes little girls up,
