Bette picks up Angelica.

BETTE: (to Angelica) Are you going to have fun here with Mama T and Shane while I’m gone doing good deeds for those less fortunate?

Angelica nods "yes" then giggles as Bette’s nose nuzzles into Angelica’s neck.

ALICE: Where’s Helena?

SYDNEY: Upstairs getting ready.  Why don’t you all take a few minutes to get settled.  Lunch will be delivered at noon.  We’ll have a quick bite then head north to the Habitate site.

Shane follows Syd upstairs while the group begins to explore the facility and settle in. 

INT. SYDNEY’S CHATEAU BEDROOM – CONTINUOUS

Shane pushes Syd onto the bed and opens her robe.

SHANE: Damn how I wanted to be here last night.

Syd smiles uncomfortably.

SHANE: Do we have time for a quick little matinee?

SYDNEY: I’m afraid that will have to wait.

SHANE: (surprised) Really?

SYDNEY: (uncomfortable but poised) Don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you another time.

Syd wiggles away from Shane and rises to get dressed.  Shane is hurt and rejected.

EXT. HABITAT FOR HUMANITY HOUSE IN NEW ENGLAND – LATER HALLOWEEN DAY

Bette, Helena, Syd, Kit, Max, Alice and Tasha are working on various parts of the project, hammering, carrying lumber, painting, measuring, etc.  They are working with a mixed crowd of men and women, mostly heterosexual couples. At the end of the day, the foreman comes into the area carrying a clip-board.  The working group has thinned.

FOREMAN: (reading from his clip board and calling out to the group) Kit, Alice, Helena, Bette, Sydney, Tasha and Max.

They all gather around the foreman.

FOREMAN: (not taking his eyes off the clip board) We only have 2 indoor rooms left, both double beds. Kit and Bette, since you’re sisters I have you in one room.  Max and Syd, as the two guys I figure you’ll be chivalrous and take one of the tents.  That leaves one of you gals to take the other tent and two get the remaining room.  You can draw straws to see who goes where.

The foreman is smug with his solution and turns to leave.
