The New Girlfriend Page #2

What's wrong?

Must be something he ate.

Poor dear,

he's really not doing well.

Sorry.

Have some hot tea.

I need something stronger.

And Lucie?

How is she?

She's great.

Thanks to Claire.

She helps me a lot.

Laura could always count

on her best friend.

Thank you.

I have some errands to run.

- So soon?

- I'm meeting Gilles for lunch.

Goodbye, dear.

Give my love to your darling husband.

I'll show you out.

Thank you, Claire.

I forgot to tell you...

What?

Don't use Laura's number anymore.

I deleted it.

Wearing a dress?

- No good?

- It's just been awhile.

For our night on the town!

- What?

- Looks good on you.

Hold still.

What're you doing?

Like it?

I look like an old whore!

No, you're sexy.

So you found a babysitter?

Better. Lucie's with my in-laws.

For a week.

I need a little time to myself.

Just what I told Claire.

- Time is important.

- It scares me.

Why?

Lucie keeps me too busy to think.

Now I'll be alone.

On my own, without Laura.

I can't do it.

Sure you can.

And we're here for you.

Right, Claire?

Of course.

- Ready to order?

- I'll have the beef.

- How do you like it?

- Medium rare.

Same thing, rare.

And you, honey?

The sea bass, please.

Actually I'll have the fish too.

Same wine?

Perfect.

She's a cutie.

Don't you think she's pretty?

Gilles, stop it.

What'd I say?

Her dress is very pretty.

Excuse me...

- Where are the restrooms?

- Downstairs.

Gonna wash my hands.

When do you go back to work?

Tuesday.

Monday, then.

I'm not sure we should.

Please.

I want you to take me shopping.

As Virginia?

Virginia?

I mean as a woman.

I like that. Virginia.

He's coming.

Pick me up at 2.

Pull into the garage.

I'm starving!

I like David, he's a good guy.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- Come on, I can tell.

- The waitress thing was obnoxious.

What'd I say?

David just lost his wife!

I was just lightening things up.

Anyway, he clearly wasn't interested.

I've always felt he was a bit...

A bit what?

There's something very...

feminine about him.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I'm sure he loved Laura

and she loved him.

But I imagine men like him too.

- Did you come?

- No.

But it's ok.

David, are you here?

Coming!

Hello.

Are you serious?

What's wrong?

I agreed to go out discreetly.

Not with a 6 foot 4 tranny

drawing looks.

What do we do?

Couldn't you just wear pants?

My first time out,

I want my legs to breathe.

Where's the other dress?

- Which one?

- The one you let out.

- It's in the hamper.

- Get it.

- It's wrinkled!

- This isn't a fashion show.

It's just two girlfriends shopping.

Ok.

Just let me iron it.

There.

Perfect.

Do I keep the stockings?

- I don't know.

- Or wax again?

Keep them. It's faster.

I'll need your help

with my lower back hair.

I can't reach it.

Damn this dress.

Hang on.

Thanks.

Careful, it comes loose.

Look what you make me do!

Harmless fun.

Got a less flashy wig?

I've got plenty-

There we are.

Nice, you did my hair like Laura's.

Isn't this a bit much?

- The neighbors mustn't know.

- For sure.

- Where to?

- Downtown.

Where?

The mall, so many shops!

Claire!

Is my wig ok?

It's fine.

- Are you sure?

- Very pretty.

Let's go.

You'll call me Virginia?

Ok.

My first time out as a woman!

You might want to change your voice.

Hello.

Got the car keys, Virginia?

Cat got your tongue?

They're in your purse.

Right, silly me!

Room for improvement, Virginia.

Just you wait.

- Think they can tell?

- No.

- Wish I'd worn the other dress.

- No, this is great.

It proves you're credible.

Look!

Too much?

No, it's you.

Virginia?

Like it?

Beautiful.

- Looks great.

- Thanks.

But is it me?

Sure! It's gorgeous with your hair.

Gives you a tiny waist.

- Really?

- And it's a steal.

Have a nice day, ladies.

Shall we go in?

Not today, I'm not ready.

Why not?

You know. I didn't wax my legs

or cleavage enough.

Right.

Next time.

You'd do this again?

Sure, why not?

- Gilles.

- What about Gilles?

I don't know.

None of his business.

He wouldn't get it.

The film's about to start

Not so fast, my heels!

I love that actress!

May I sit here?

Let's move.

Tell me the truth.

You're into men, right?

Not at all.

That man turned you on.

Oh, him!

Not the way you think.

I was happy

he took me for a woman.

And fondled you.

It may seem strange,

but men have never turned me on.

Whereas women always have.

Maybe that's why

I want to look like one.

Ever try with a man?

No, never.

I sometimes masturbated

with the boys at catechism.

Nothing more.

Like to try as Virginia?

Never occurred to me.

It's my first time out as a woman.

Men are noticing me.

Who knows? I might try it.

A girl only lives once.

It's so new for me.

Thanks to you.

I feel reborn.

Maybe you shouldn't hold my hand.

That man's staring.

Don't worry.

Women often hold hands.

Certain women.

What a wonderful day.

I think you were right.

What?

This isn't just for Lucie.

What?

My lipstick.

Hang on.

There.

So Gilles won't suspect anything.

I have to take this.

David?

No, Virginia.

Can we do lunch?

Fm a mess. {need to see you.

Not until 1:
30.

Near your office?

Across the street.

Thanks. See you then.

Coming as a man, right?

No, I said H was Virginia.

- Sorry, I can't.

- Why?

Right near work?

I can't take the risk.

What risk? It went fine last time.

Meet me at 1:
45

at the tearoom in the mall.

There you are.

Sorry I'm late, it's busy at work.

Sunglasses?

You said to be discreet.

It's ok here.

I'll grab a sandwich.

Want something?

I'm not hungry.

Are you sure?

One of those sandwiches, please.

I love your skirt It suits you.

Thanks.

Forget to shave?

- Does it show?

- A little.

Shoot!

Being a woman is hard work.

What pills do you take?

Nothing.

Anti-depressants.

Our day at the mall was a revelation.

I've never felt so happy.

A happy woman.

I have to try again.

I'm back at work, it's complicated.

Don't leave me on my own.

I need you.

Laura's parents have Lucie

this weekend.

We could go to their country house.

Impossible. What'll I tell Gilles?

The truth.

You ok?

This job is a nightmare.

Gotta finish.

That's my scarf.

I grabbed it, I've got a sore throat.

Looks pretty.

My mom called.

She's not doing well.

What's wrong?

I think she's depressed.

We could go see her this weekend.

Too much pressure.

I have to work.

You go ahead. You don't need me.

Would've been nice to go together.

We'll go when work slows down.

I promise.

All set?

Lot of stuff for a weekend.

I'm well-equipped.

- What'd you tell Gilles?

- That I'm seeing my mother.

Do you lie to him often?

No.

Only since I've known about you.

I never lied to Laura.

Here I am!

That was quick.

I'll finish my make-up in the car.

Hold this.

Anyone notice you?

A truck driver

saw me leaving the men's room.

He seemed to like my dress.

- Want a tip?

- Sure, what?

When applying mascara...

Right eye, right hand.

Left eye, left hand.
