Scene: Danas apartment. Danas place in impeccably decorated. To the left is a dark brown leather sofa and a leather smoking chair with ottoman facing a wall with a retractable flat screen TV. The walls are a muted marigold yellow. Beautiful areas rugs cover the hardwood floors.

Dana: Here, give me your jacket.

Alex hands her jacket to Dana and takes a seat on the sofa.

Dana: You want water? Iced tea? Ginger ale?
Alex: Waters fine.

Dana heads to the kitchen to fix a snack. Alex takes a seat on the sofa.

Dana: (from the kitchen) Hey, I never watched ***** as Folk from last week. You wanna watch it with me?
Alex: Yeah! I love that show
Dana: Me too. I want Michael.
Alex: I want Justin.
Dana: Aw.
Alex: Hes sweet and loyal and he just loves Brian so much. And if I were Justins boyfriend, Id appreciate him a lot more than BRIAN does
Dana: But thats what makes the story so goodthat he can never get Brian
Alex: (soapbox) I- knowreality isnt as exciting as fantasy land. Thats why youll never see one of the couples from The G Word have a successful long- term relationship. Married lesbians are boring. That wont sell. Only the drama will. (getting fired up) The up- down, woOooO~ whats going to happen next? Ooooh, whos cheating on who, who is Shea going to ***** this week?
Dana: Al, you alright?
Dana enters the living room with two waters and a plate of grapes.

Alex: Yeah, yeah. Sorry, Im just on my soapbox. Its justif people never see themselves on TV
Dana: (interrupts) I know, we need role models. And I wish I could be that for people. I mean, in my position, I know that I could reach a lot of people. Im just not ready for that kind of attention regarding my sexuality. Or my life, for that matter. I dont need that scrutiny. And I dont want to lose sponsors
Alex: Well youre more out now than youve ever been. I have a prediction
Dana: What?
Alex: I think(beat) I think that when you meet the right person, you arent going to care any more
Dana: Huh?
Alex: I think when you meet your soul mate, you are going to just say ***** the world, ***** tennis, this is who I am and this is who I lovedeal with it
Dana: (pondering) I dont know, Ive never felt that way about anyone Ive dateddo you think Ill know when its the one?
Alex: I DO think youll know.
Dana: How?
Alex: Its just going to be natural, and easylike you arent going to have to try that hard and youre going to feel like you always knew her and she was always a part of you…its just going to smack you across the face one day and youre going to be like Ah-haaaaa
Dana: Listen to you
Alex: Yeah. Its my little fantasy
Dana: You have a soul mate too, ya know
Alex: Somewhereout there(beat) Before you start, I want to use your bathroom.
Dana: Sure.
