Were you?
- Holly: Anyway... Jane called me at work, wanted to know how you are.
- Robin: I'm fine.
- Elaine: Who's Jane?
- Abe: Jane used to live here up until a few days ago.
- Robin: You stay out of this, Holly. It's between me and Jane.
- Holly: Well, she asked for my advice, so I told her she's anti-Lesbian.
- Robin: I am not!
- Elaine: Who's a Lesbian?
- Robin: Jane is.
- Elaine: And... And she was living here?
- Abe: Yes, Ma'am.
- Robin: I am not "anti-Lesbian"!
- Holly: Not you... Her.
- Elaine: Who?
- Robin: Jane, mom.
- Holly: See this is her old problem... She creates a situation where she gets this rejection that everyone else sees coming.
- Robin: She just wasn't being honest.
- Holly: Well, I think it's a black thing too.
- Elaine: Jane is black?
- Abe: Yes, Ma'am. She sure is.
- Robin: And you can't live a lie. You just... Can't.
- Holly: Well, there's lying and then there's... just not telling.
- Robin: Big diff.
- Elaine: She's a black Lesbian?
- Abe: Yes, Ma'am. That is right.
- Elaine: And she was living here? With you?
- Holly: No, no, no... She was just living here. They weren't like... You know... Fucking or anything... Were you?
- Elaine: Were you?
- Abe: Were you?
- Robin: Ah... I'll get the coffee.
Robin: It’s just… It’s lonely. Between me and everybody else there’s all this space all the time. And it gets bigger and bigger and I’m on one side, you know, and I’m screaming… and they’re waving. And the one person I think I’m holding is waving too.
Jane: I’m holding you.
