In a quiet, intimate hotel room, Billie Jean King practices tennis against an invisible opponent in the middle of the night. She reveals to Marilyn the childhood trauma of being excluded for her social class, explaining that her drive to be number one is the only way she can truly have a voice in the world.
MARILYN: What are you doing?
BILLIE JEAN: Playing Margaret.
MARILYN: Are you winning?
BILLIE JEAN: One set each. Margaret’s serving.
MARILYN: Don’t you ever stop?
BILLIE JEAN: Not really. I warned you.
MARILYN: Come to bed.
BILLIE JEAN: That was break point.
