An old station wagon drives past.] INT. - SUBURBAN HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT [Music is playing - maybe Doris Day? Several women sit around the living room, on the couch and in chairs. Each woman has her legs parted slightly, and is holding a mirror between her legs, to see her vulva. Another woman, Teri, stands at the bar pouring drinks.] Woman #1: (shocked) Oh my god, where is it? Woman #2: Oh, no, it's horrible! Woman #3: Don't say it's horrible. It's beautiful.

[The women chuckle.] Woman #7: Girls, if it wasn't for this group, I would still think that Valium was my only hope for survival. Woman #8: I would still believe in the myth of the vaginal orgasm. Thank you Sigmund Freud, you patronizing, sexist pig! Woo! Everyone: Woo! Yeah! Right on! [Woman #5 is quietly reading the book "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About s*x". Her eyes widen.] Woman #9: Can I just say... I know this is only our fifth meeting,
