Episode 102: Let's Do It

[Lara closes her locker. On her way out, she runs into Dana, in a robe, fresh from the showers.]
Lara - Hey!
Dana - Hi!
Lara - So, did you hear from Subaru? Did you get it?
Dana - (blushing) I did.
Lara - Oh, my god, that's fantastic! I knew you would.
[Dana giggles.]
Lara - Well, they're lucky to have you.
Dana - (smiling) Oh, thanks.
Lara - Well, um... goodnight.
Dana - Goodnight.
[Dana turns around to her locker to open it, but Lara returns. Lara backs Dana against her locker and kisses her.]
Lara - (smiling) Just in case you were still wondering.
[Lara leaves. Dana smiles.]

Episode 104: Longing

[Dana walks into the country club kitchen looking for Lara and finds her]
Dana - Hey...
[Lara looks up at Dana, and cuts her thumb]
Dana - [freaking out] Oh, my god! Oh! oh, my god, I'm sorry, I...
Lara - It's okay...
Dana - Ah, Jesus, you're disfigured!
Lara - [smiling and calm] I'm not disfigured.
Dana - But I could've killed you! When you were... you know.
Lara - [still smiling] It happens all the time.
Dana - Well, should we call a doctor?
[Lara holds off her hand, and begins counting off visible scars on her fingers]
Lara - Second-degree burn from the bÈchamel sauce. Run-away shish-kabob. An attack from a particularly hostile live lobster, and, um... electric can-opener.
Dana - [blushing] Is there anything I can do?
Lara - [holding up thumb] You could kiss it and make it better.

 
Dana - Um. I was wondering if maybe sometime...
Lara - I would love to.
Dana - Really?
[Laura smiles and nods]
Dana - Okay! Is Thursday night okay?
Lara - Thursday night is great.
Dana - Where do you wanna go?
Lara - Anywhere you're going.
Dana - Yeah, but you're a food person. So, I want to take you someplace really good. Like L'Orangerie.
Lara - No, no, no, that's way too expensive.
Dana - I know. I'll take care of it.
Lara - We're not starting out that way. Um... there's this little place in Koreatown that I've been dying to check out.
Dana - Do I need to make a reservation?
Lara - How about if I take care of that part, and you just pick me up at eight?
Dana - Okay.

Episode 105: Lawfully

Lara - I need help. I didn't know what you were wearing and I didn't want to look like twins. You know it's like saying "Wow, I'm so cute I wanna go out with me".

 
Lara - So who is the sexiest tennis player in the world?
Dana - Anna Kournikova?
Lara - You are so fucking hot, I just wanna have sex with you right now.

 
Lara - You have to start taking at least some steps toward being out.
Dana - I will.
Lara - Because you're going to be miserable being in the closet.
Dana - I know.
Lara - And you are really, really gay.
Dana - [whispers] I know.
Lara - And it's one of the things I like so much about you. When you hide that you're hiding the best part.

Episode 106: Losing It

Dana - Let's go around the house and make sure all the doors and windows are locked, OK?
Lara - That's a good idea. [beat] You are so smart.
Dana - No, you're the smart one.
Lara - Only in cooking.
Dana - And photography!
Lara - But you have mind and body intelligence.
Dana - No you do.
Lara - No, you do.
Dana - Shut up, I said it first.
Lara - I said it second... [they look at Tina]
Dana - Sorry.

Episode 107: L'Ennui

Lara - So you still haven't told me. What do you think counts as sex?
Dana - I don't know, having an orgasm?
Lara - Well, if that was the case that would mean thousands of women who are married and have children have never had sex. [She moves closer] But either way, you and I definitely have had sex. You're so sexy Dana. You make me come so hard. [Dana moves away, embarrassed] What did I offend you or something?
Dana - No it's fine.
Lara - [Moves in to kiss Dana but is rebuffed] Dana, what's up?
Dana - It's just I need you to stop.
Lara - Stop what?
Dana - Touching me. Kissing me. I can't do this OK? I'm not ready for all this.
Lara - I don't believe you. I don't think I've ever met anyone more ready in my entire life.
Dana - I know, I'm gay. And when I hide that I hide the best part of me. But you don't understand what it means to be me. My clock is ticking Lara, and you want to have sex in the street! And I don't want to parade around making sure everyone knows our business. I'm not like you. I care what they think.
Lara - Is this about the ad campaign or something? Did your agent scare the shit out of you?
Dana - I can't stand to be judged by you all the time. You're a bigger, better person than me and every time I look at you I'm reminded of that.
Lara - I'm sorry - I've been putting too much pressure on you and moving too fast, maybe we should just...
Dana - No.
Lara - No?
Dana - It's just I can't OK? Just forget it. I can't, it's too hard. I don't want to be with you.

Episode: Lead, Follow, Or Get Out of the Way

Dana - (about Alice) I didn't break up with her for you; I broke up because it wasn't working.
Lara - It's OK. I can wait -- I waited this long. We have all the time in the world.
