At White Ridge Tina and Regan walk in together. They tell the waiter the name on the reservation. But its not ready yet. So they take a seat at the bar and talk. But little did they know that Bette was at White Ridge too. She is having dinner with the Board of the CAC. She has successfully gotten another high profile art collection to come to their little gallery. She sees Tina with someone shes never seen before. Her first thoughts are that they are on a date. This women whispers something in Tina ear. That women is making my wife laugh. Thats my job. I have to do something. A few minutes later Tina and Regan are sat at their table. From where Bette is sitting she can see the two of them. Bette sees how Regan looks at Tina and isnt very happy. She watches them as they sit and talk.

Tina Its an after school program to get inner city kids to do stuff with their time. Like take up art or play a sport. Get tutored in a subject.
Regan Yeah. I think its a really good idea. What do you need me to do?
Tina Just come and be there. Play with the kids and teach them some stuff. Your really popular and its your demo.
Regan Great. Whens the time and place?
Tina Thats what we need to figure out. When are you free?
Regan I dont have to start training for three months. But I have some photo shoots but other than that.
Tina What about during the season?
Regan I dont know. I have to get the schedule for the season but we can probably find some time in there.
Tina Great. Im so glad this is gonna work out really well.

Regan Awkward silence. awkward silence.
Tina You have a really nice car. What is it?

Tina Mere mortals, huh?
Regan Yeah. I have god like status dont ya know. I have people praying at my alter.
Tina Isnt that nice!
Regan Not really. It kinda weird. I never really wanted this to happen. I just want to play a sport. Not be talked about and followed.
Tina Do you get noticed a lot?
Regan Not here yet. They havent announced that I get traded. But when they do Ill get noticed.
Tina Why is it so bad?
Regan There are people who are obsessed with you and they want to know everything about and they will go to whatever links that get what they want.
Tina They why do you still do it?
Regan Because its what I love to do. Its my passion. Its like an art. Sometime you have to take the good with the bad. The good it always wins.
Im gonna get a drink at the bar. Do you want anything?
Tina Im good.

Regan gets up to get a drink. She is at the bar when Bette decides to make her move. At the table Bette is at.

Bette Excuse me?

Bette walks up to Regan. And looks her in the eyes. When she looks
she sees a very beautiful women with long dark hair and eyes that just make you melt. Bette is looking at Regan and rears back her fist and punches Regan in her jaw. When Regan recoils and faces Bette again she hits her again in the eye. The people at the bar are yelling and waiters move to part the girls.
Bette Stay away from my wife!

Regan just looks at Bette. Everyone one at the bar is looking at the two of them. Whispering.

Regan You must be Bette. Your shorter than I imagined.

Bette is about to hit Regan again when Tina come running up

Tina What the ***** is wrong with you?
Bette What are you doing with her?
Tina It business. For work. Its not like its any of your business any way. (turning to Regan) Are you okay? Let me see.
Regan (Holding her jaw) Im fine.

Regan and Bette stared into each others eyes. No ones blinking.

Tina Come on. Lets get you outta here. (Trying to move Regan toward the door, but Regan not moving) Please!!!
Regan to Bette Thats the only free hits you get.

Regan and Tina leave White Ridge. They get to the Regans car. She open the door for Tina and gets in.

Tina Are you okay?
Regan Yeah. Im fine. (looking at jaw and eye in rearview mirror) Ill take you home.
Tina Ok but want I to get you cleaned up first. Before you go.
Regan You dont have to. Im fine really.
Tina You got hit because of me. Let me do this.
Regan Ok.

The ride to Tinas house is silent except for Tina giving Regan directions.
They reach Tinas apartment building

Tina Come on.
Regan Its not necessary
Tina Just let me do this. Im really sorry. I didnt know she was gonna be there. Shes never done that before.
Regan Its fine. Ive gotten hit hard by much bigger girls. Im cool.
Tina Please.
Regan (sighing) Okay. Lets go.

They get out of the car. Tina goes toward the building and sees Regan wobbly on her feet.

Tina Here lean on me.( putting her hand around Regan waist and Regans arm around her neck)
Regan (singing) When your not strong, Im gonna need somebody to lean on.
Tina Glad to see you still have your sense of humor.
In the window of Alices apartment Dana sees Regan and Tina come into the complex.

Dana I guess their date is over. (kissing Alices neck)
Alice What?
Dana Regan and Tina. Just went up to Tinas. They looked kinda cozy.
Alice Shut up!
Dana Ok

Dana Do what?
Alice It?
Dana looks at kinda confused Alice
Alice *****.
Dana OH. I dont know.. maybe.
Alice We have to stop them!
Dana Why?
Alice Because Tina is gonna get her heart broken. (Gets up to go but Dana grabs her hand) Regan isnt the girl scout everyone things she is.

Alice Come on!
