Bette:
It has to end.

Tina:
But seriously, Alice, you can't let Gabby continue to treat you this way.

Alice:
You guys don't know her. I know it looks like she's treating me like sh*t, but it's... she's just, you know...

Tina:
Treating you like sh*t, Al.

Alice:
Maybe, it's just...

Bette:
No. It's just you deserve better.

Alice:
I do? All right, I do. But... I just feel like at times, she's, like, so right there, and I feel like we connect and then, all of a sudden, she acts like I don't even exist.

Tina:
That's because she's an emotional cripple.

Bette:
Yeah. Emotional cripple, slash, narcissistic personality disorder.

Tina:
And the next time she calls you? You have to end it.

Alice:
I know. It's just...

Bette:
[firmly] It's just nothing.

Tina:
What are you gonna do?

Alice:
Well, I was gonna ask her...

Bette:
No asking.

Tina:
What are you gonna tell her? You're gonna say, "Gabby, I really enjoy the time we've spent together, but it is obvious to me that we are in different places in our lives and we want different things out of a relationship, and I respect myself too much to let you continue to treat me this way."

Bette:
[continuing from Tina] "It's clear to me now that you are an emotional cripple without any kind of capacity to understand true love."

Tina:
[picking up from Bette] "And I'm no longer willing to waste my valuable time on you."

Bette:
"So step off, b*tch!"

Tina:
Do it.
