Shane and Carmen - Reunion 6

 Shane and Carmen Reunited in Season 6

L Word - Leave

Scene 1: Shane walks into the house through the back door and throws her keys on the table. She sees a note with “Shane” written on it. She reads it.

(Jenny’s voice)

“Shane,

I never thought you would hurt me like this. NEVER! When I told you that “Nikki was dead to me”, you knew that it was said it pain and anger. You know that when I fall in love, it is from the heart. And Nikki has .. had my heart. You both deserve each other. I hope you two will be happy together.

I will be out of the house until Monday. I want you GONE by then.

Jenny”

Shane drops the letter on the table, runs her fingers through her hair, and says “fuck!”

Scene 2: Shane loads the last of her bags in the Jeep. Bette, Tina, and Angelica are playing in the pool. Angelica is on a raft and Bette and Tina are on either side of it/her. Shane walks over to them.

Shane: “Hey”

Bette/Tina: “Hey”

Shane (Kneeling down): “Hey Angelica”

Angelica (Waves to Shane): “Hey Shane”

Tina: “So this is it, huh?”

Shane (Looking around the pool area appreciatively, remembering all of the good times she has had there): “Yeah, this is it. I really fu.. (Looking at Angelica), Sorry. I really messed things up this time. I’m gonna miss not living next door to you guys.”

Bette: “Maybe you guys can work things out.”

Shane (Standing up):”I doubt it. The damage is done.”

Tina: “Where are you going to go? Do you need a place to stay? Since I’m staying here, (Tina looks at Angelica and Bette who smiles, then winks at Tina. Tina reaches for Bette’s hand the squeezes it), my old apartment is empty. You can stay there as long as you want.”

Shane: “Nah, but thanks for the offer. The insurance check came in and I’m renting a Condo four blocks from the Planet and around the corner from SheBar until I decide what I’m going to do. I might go visit Shay for a while. It’s cool. We’ll still see each other.” (Tears begin to well up in Shane’s eyes). “Well, bye guys.”

Bette: “Bye Shane, see you later.”

Angelica: “Bye Shane, see you later.”

Shane looks at Angelica and smiles.

Tina (Watching Shane walk away, yells):”Shane!” If you need anything call, ok? Bye Shane”

Shane without turning around, waves goodbye. She gets into her Jeep and drives away.

Bette and Tina watch as Shane drives away. They then look at each other.

Tina: “I love you.” (Tina puts her hand on Bette’s head and then slides down to her cheek)

Bette (Smiles): “I love you, too.”

They kiss passionately until they hear …

Angelica: “Bye Shane.”

Bette and Tina stop kissing each other and both kiss Angelica on the side of the head.

Scene 3: Shane has both hands full along with bags over both shoulders. She walks up to the elevator and pushes the button. A bag on her right shoulder falls off and in bending down to pick up that bag, the other bags on her right side fall off.

Shane: “Fuck.”

The elevator door opens.

Shane (Kicking, throwing, and hiking bags into the elevator while still bent down and her back to the door): “Hold the Door.”

Person in the elevator drags a mattress backwards out of the door: “Stop throwing things at me. If you’d let me get off, you can get on. Jeez, what kind of idiot are you.”

Shane (Stands up and turns toward the person who is talking): “What the Fuck?”

Shane turns around to see Carmen standing there. They lock eyes and stare at each other for what seems like an hour. Shane drops to her knees, hugging Carmen tightly around the waist, and begins to cry uncontrollably. Carmen stands there stiff as a board, looking straight ahead. Tears begin to run down Carmen’s face and she puts her left hand on Shane’s head, pulling Shane tighter to her. This makes Shane cry even harder.
