Her name is Jenny and life is miserable at home.  Her friend Annette has paid her a visit, but for Jenny, the restlessness remains.  One day, she will leave all this behind.

West Hollywood.

At The Planet, the attention this morning is on the new Subaru ad for Dana, with the slogan, ”Get Out.  And Stay Out.”  The ad is in a magazine and is Marina’s copy, which she has Dana sign for Francesca who is soon to arrive.  Alice and Shane are also there while Dana has a worrisome expression.  She was supposed to come out to her parents before the ad, but the fear of doing so set in.

Marina ”You haven’t come out to your parents yet?”

Shane ”Well, I think Subaru’s gonna do it for you.”

Alice ”You didn’t tell ’em!  …You didn’t tell ’em.”

Dana places her face in her hands.  Marina, having remembered her conversation with Dana during the yacht party now has a look of concern, which she now shares with Alice and Shane.

Alice ”Alright, you know what, you have to do this today, ’cause…”

Dana ”I can’t do it today…Al…my mom’s getting that award from her women’s group…or whatever.”

Marina ”Your mother belongs to a woman’s group?  That’s good…”

Alice ”Uh-uh.  Orange County…Republican’s Women’s Coalition.”

Marina notices Shane now looking at her and all Shane can do is offer an awkward expression about this situation.  Marina looks back at Dana, wanting to apologize for the situation she now faces.  Alice and Shane look on at Dana, the moment having become quite serious.  Dana lowers her head, beginning to walk away.  Alice and Marina walk after her as Shane shakes her head.

Shane ”Shit.”

Dana ”I just…I can’t believe my life right now, I just fucked up so bad with Lara-”

Marina ”You still haven’t heard from her?”

Dana turns, facing Marina.

Dana ”I…fucked…up.  I lost her.  And hey!”

Dana forces a sarcastic smile while holding back tears.

Dana ”Now I get to lose my family, too!  Boy this coming out sure is fucking worth it.”

Alice places her hands on Dana’s arms, in an effort to her calm her as Marina looks on.

Alice ”I got an idea.  Listen to me…I’m gonna come with you.”
