My land has more roses

and almost more lovers.

My land has more gold.

My land has more land.

Gold, land, love, and roses.

I want everything my land has.

God don't let me die
before going back home.

Hi. This is Joe.

Please leave a message,

and I'll call you right back.
Thank you.

- Can you hear them laughing?
- Oh.

This water makes them so happy.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

These are gonna be
beautiful blue flowers.

Huh. How are you, Scott?

I'm good, thank you.

- You're-you're going to work?
- Yeah.

I'm-I'm going to make meatballs
tonight, if you're interested.

- Yeah. Very much, thanks.
- Ah. Okay.

- Have a good day.
- You, too. You, too.

Be careful with that bike,
because the chain is old.

LOUREN�O:
Yeah. I know.

SCOTT:
I was frozen.

Obviously, this guy
was an asshole,

but I didn't know what to say.

And then Michael stood up,
with his glass in his hand,

and he said, "I'm sorry, sir,
but this is a public restroom

"and I'm on a date
with this handsome gentleman.

"And if you despise us so much,

"why don't you pay your check

"and go find
the best shrink in town,

'cause there's a good chance
that you are a faggot as well."

He just said that.

I love this story.

Have I told you that before?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

- I'm so sorry.
- Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You don't have to do-- No.

You don't have
to earn your keep here.

This dinner was for you.

Just...

But what I meant to say is,

it was in that moment
that I knew

he was the man for me,
for life.

After two weeks,
we were moving in together.

There was no reason to wait.

Life was so precious
for so many of us.

And then everyone was moving
to Provincetown,

either to heal or to die.

So we moved here.

Our first house was right
at the end of this street.

It was a little rental.

Tell you something,
in those days

there were more cats
than there were dogs.

And no coyotes,
if you can imagine that.

Mm.

This, um,
this was a long time ago.

And, um...

I healed, and he...

he didn't.

How was the beach today?

I haven't seen
a-a sunset at Herring Cove

for a very long time.

- It was beautiful.
It always is.
- Yeah?

- You should come
with me someday.
- No, I...

I have sand issues.

Plus, there are
so many projects here.

Did you see the new fence?

Yeah? And I fixed the glass
on your door there.

I...

I don't know what I would do

- if it wasn't for you.
- Come on.

You are young, you're handsome.

You could go anywhere,
you could do anything.

Not really.

The only place I could
actually go is home.

And, uh...

I don't want to.

No.

This is your home.

Now, can you...

ask for an extension
on your visa?

For what, getting dumped?

I could try.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so...

Have you heard from Joe at all?

No.

Not since he left.

Have you heard from him?

No.

He only calls
when he needs something.

And season's over, so...

Where did you guys meet again?

Um...

In Rio. Last winter.

Right. At Disneyland.

I was there for work.

Well, he wasn't. I know that.

I'm sorry it didn't work out,

and it would've been great,
but you know something?

True love...

is something else.

It really is.
And you remember that.

And forget about him.

I know.

- It's pathetic, huh?
- No.

No, it's not pathetic, it's...

tragic, maybe.

All right.

- Let me at least clear
the table. Please.
- No. No.

You... you stop that.

Go have some fun. Come here.

You can stay here
as long as you like.

Yeah, well,
my visa expires in a month,

so I have to figure
something out.

SCOTT: Well,
we'll work on that, but...

Oh, hugs are good.

You go.

- Tchau.
- SCOTT: Tchau.

- Have a good night.
- SCOTT: Thank you.

Hi. This is Joe.
Please leave a message,

and I'll call you right back.
Thank...

Come on in.

Put your stuff over here.

You don't look Brazilian.

Ooh.

No, no, no. No.

- Wait, wait.
- What? Just a little bit.

I'm clean.

Oh, I'm gonna come.
Oh, I'm gonna come.

No. No, not inside, please.

Ah...

I put all the expenses on the right column

and then it all disappeared!

It's because that's Excel, mom.

I told you, it's different.

Send it to me and I'll fix it later, ok?

I'm late now.

Okay. I'll send it.

Where are you going?

What do you mean? To work mom.

Dressed like that?

Where do you work again?

Oh...

I work in a hotel, mom...

I take care of all their finances.

Listen to me, son.

When you told me
the master's program was at Harvard,

I told all my friends.

"HARVARD!" So chic!

But you told me it was
until the end of August.

Listen Louren�o, you're not
getting any younger.

It's time to come back home.

To get married,

to build a family.

Son, I can't...

Louren�o, did you put
Jesus next to your bed?

I can't see it. I can't see you.

Now I see you.

Listen, I'm late... I need to go.

Okay.

Remember Sonia from the church?

She always asks about you.

I'm losing you, mom.

Can I have a cigarette?

I forgot mine.

Hey, have you ever done
any interior house painting?

Hmm?

- No.
- No?

So...

I got to paint a house
up in Truro tomorrow,

and I don't want to do it
by myself.

I'd like to get it done
pretty fast.

You want to give it a try?
Come work with me tomorrow?

- Yeah.
- You know, see how it goes?

- Sure.
- Good.

It's my shit ex-wife.

Fucking "artiste."

Leave the key on the table
when you're done.

There's a check-in
later on today.

Oh, yeah, and I, uh...

I forgot my wallet
in my other pants,

so, um...

I'll pay you the rest tomorrow.

Tourists.

They're all straight,
and they don't even tip well.

Mm.

Here. You can keep it.

I have so many.

- Thank you.
- You know it's for

before you're exposed,
though, right?

I mean, something's better
than nothing, I guess.

He said he was clean.

Yes.

But if you're worried,
you should really get PEP.

I'll come with you.
I don't mind.

Hmm?

I don't have papers, remember?

You think I like
cleaning toilets?

It's a gay clinic.

They're not gonna check
your immigration status.

I don't know.
I don't think I should.

I...

I asked here for you.

They don't think
they can sponsor you.

We're not hiring anybody,
anyway,

'cause we're closing soon
for the winter.

I'm sorry, though, babe.

Thank you.

When's Daddy coming back, though?

- Hmm?

I don't know really.

I have my fingers crossed
for you then...

my sad, sad little boy.

Dimo, come on.

DIMO:
Coming, my love. Coming.

I'll see you at Tea? Yeah?

Okay, one tablet a day.

Bye. Love you.

Watch out for sharks.

There's plenty around here.

Yeah, I know.

I don't mind. I-I love swimming
in open water.

And they love eating you alive.

Maybe that's a good way to go.

That's kind of dark.

Yeah.

Sorry.

Hey, where's your accent from?

Spain?

Uh...

Brazil.

Cool. Which part?

It's a small town
in the countryside.

Okay.

What's it called?

Itu.

"Ee-too"?

-"Tu."
-"Eh-too"?

Itu.

-"Ee-too." "Itoo.
-"Tu."

Sounds like a fun place.

Not really.

What's it like?

You don't really want to know.

It's that bad?

I mean, is it anything
like this place?

Oh, no.

It's different.

I... I love it here.

It's like a beautiful bubble.

Yeah.

It is, isn't it?

? ?

Well, I guess that's
what the sharks are for.

To keep us humble.

- All right, see ya.
- See ya.

Hey, you want to take a swim
in the back?

- In the back?
- Yeah.

Visiting?

LOUREN�O:
Uh... yeah, sort of.

Got here in July.

Not sure how long I'm staying.

MAN: Oh, wow. I've barely
been off this summer.

I'm just here for the week.

I leave on Saturday.

LOUREN�O:
That was fun.

I can't believe
I didn't notice this before.

It's one of the silver linings
of the high tide.

Getting a little cold.

WOMAN:
Maurice!

Maurice!

I'm Maurice, by the way.

I'm Louren�o.

- Good to meet you, Louren�o.
- You, too.

Remember, if you see a seal,
get out of the water.

Where there's a seal,
there's always a shark.

LOUREN�O:
Okay.

? Do what
I gotta do, make moves ?

- ? Move when I gotta move ?
- ? Stay true to ya ?

? Anywhere I'm at ?

? You now I'm coming back ?

? Find the dial
then turn it up ?

? All I really want is more ?

? They're gonna know our names
by the time we go ?

- ? I don't need the world... ?

Yes.

MAURICE:
Hey, Louren�o.

There's, uh, a full moon party
on the beach tonight.

? Whatever it takes... ?

You want to come?

Um... I don't know.

- What time?
- Uh...

I don't know, like 9:00.

It's at the sunset parking lot.

You know where?

It's, uh, on the far side
of the beach

by the public restrooms.

I have to work early tomorrow,
so...

All right,
well, come if you can.

My friends are fun.

Okay. Thanks.

Yeah. Hope to see you there.

? Just how I like it ?

? We stay united ?

? It's got to be you,
got to be you. ?

Oh, mom...

Ooh, who do we have here? Hi.

Oh. Oh, my gosh.
You're Maurice's friend.

Um, hi. Welcome.

He should be around here
somewhere.

- I think maybe you'll...
- Girl, change the music.

You have played this song,
like, four times.

Okay. Oh, my God.

Uh, well, I hooked up
with the bassist,

and it's a great song,
so we're playing it again.

Oh, God, not this again.

Hi. I'm BJ.

Uh, it's just my name.

It's not like a clever thing.

Hi. I-I'm Louren�o.

I'm Leslie.

- Mwah, mwah.

Where are you from?

Um, I'm from Brazil.

Oh, Brazil. Oh.

Eu falo portugu�s.

Um...

- Mm.

You know, I am gonna go
change this song.

- You're right.
- Yeah. They don't speak
Portuguese.

They learned a few phrases
for Grindr.

Come on, baby.

Hey.

Uh, so, what about you?
Where are you from?

I was born and raised
in Manhattan,

but I'm first-generation
Bushwick.

Oh. I-I don't know what that...

But, I mean,
I've heard of Bushwick.

- Don't worry about it.
- Hey, you made it.

- Hi. Yes.
- Ah, what's up?

- I'm glad you came.
- Yeah.

Do you want me
to get you a drink?

He's just about
to ask you that.

- ? What you want, mmm ?

? I can provide it ?

? What you got, no,
I can't live without it ?

- ? And every time
I see you... ?
- WOMAN: Maurice?

- MAURICE: Oh, my...!

Crystal, are you okay?

I'm sorry, Maurice.

Oh.

Hi.

- Hi.
- CRYSTAL: Gorgeous.

- I'm Crystal.
- Hi.

You better watch out,
'cause I'm very addictive.

- CRYSTAL: I'm sorry.

- That's a bad joke, isn't it?
- Yeah.

I'm-a be at the bar.

Yeah.

Oh, my God. Is she okay?

- She's fine.

? And no, I can't
move any faster, baby... ?

LOUREN�O:
Your friends are crazy.

I said they were fun, not nice.

I only got invited
because someone got their fill

and decided to go home.

So, you got here
at the beginning of summer?

LOUREN�O:
Yeah.

With my boyfriend.

Um...

We were traveling for a while.

He goes to all kinds of places
for work,

and, uh,

I guess he got his fill
and decided to go home, too.

Without me.

So...

I'm here.

- Hmm.
- That's there I am.

Kind of an ex-boyfriend.

Kind of an ex-boyfriend. Yeah.

So, what do you do?

You say you're working
tomorrow morning.

I, uh...

I clean.

Houses.

You know, vacation rentals.

I'm here on a tourist visa.

I can't really work,
but...

I need the money, so...

Illegal swimmer. Sexy.

I was an accountant in Brazil.

Oh.

What about you? What do you do?

I'm a nurse.

- A nurse?
- Yeah.

Oh, wow. Now, that's sexy.

Not if you work
at Flushing Hospital in Queens

it ain't.

Trust me.

But, uh, I just got approved
for a fellowship abroad.

I'm going to Angola.

- Angola?
- Yeah, it's in Africa.

- Yeah, I know. Wow.
- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's gonna...
it's gonna be nice.

I really need the change.

And they need nurses
over there, so...

You know they have
more sheep than humans?

More ship?

No, sheep.

Like, "bah."

- Oh, sheep, okay.

So, you, uh...

- You love animals
more than humans.

I have to deal with a lot
of people all the time, so...

It's just nice
when I can be away from them.

I like being alone.

I'm not afraid of that.

You?

No, I'm not afraid of
being alone.

Not of that.

Actually, I'm alone
most of the time.

So, what are you afraid of?

What am I...?

I don't know. Um...

- God?
- God?

That's interesting.

LOUREN�O:
I don't know. I, uh...

I said too many lies already.

To too many people.

Do you think
they'll get you to hell?

They got me to America.

Well, now, that's hell.

It's not, it's not...

It's not what I meant.

Where I grew up is...

all about Jesus.

You live in this constant fear
of being damned

if you don't acknowledge the
fact that Jesus died for you.

Every single day, I mean.

Yeah, I get it.

I grew up Catholic.

- Evangelical.
- Ooh-la-la.

Catholicism on steroids.

I couldn't even grow
my hair long.

- Oh, you poor thing.

MAURICE:
No, I get it, though. I mean,

I think, uh, Jesus
was a pretty cool dude.

He liked people.

All of 'em.

He didn't discriminate
against anyone.

He performed
some pretty awesome miracles.

And He broke the rules, a lot.

And he had long hair.

Period.

What about you?

What are you afraid of?

The police.

I don't want to end up
like Jesus.

MAURICE: You think anyone
has ever looked at the moon

and thought, "Meh"?

CRYSTAL:
Hey!

The tide is coming in!

LOUREN�O:
I better get back.

- MAURICE: Yeah,
it's getting late.
- Yeah.

Hey, have dinner with me.

Tomorrow.

No expectations.

Uh, shouldn't take too long.

I, I brought a guy with me.

Hey, what are you doing?

Just get the stuff
out of the truck.

Yeah.

Okay, look, uh,

look, I'm gonna do up here.
Why don't you go downstairs

and go work on the baseboards?

Well, go.

Sorry

Do you like this color?

Um, yeah.

No, you don't.

I'm sorry for earlier.

Don't worry about it,
I was in my bliss state.

Would you like me
to paint that room, too?

No, thank you, absolutely not.

No, I'm the only one
who paints in there.

Okay.

Are you hungry?

Do you want some cheese?

A salad?

Or I can make you
a turkey sandwich.

LOUREN�O:
Okay.

Okay. Okay to what?

You know, options are wonderful

as long as you know
what you want.

A salad is great, thanks.

Salad's my specialty.

What's yours?

I know you're not just
a professional houseboy.

Mm, I don't, I don't know.

I don't have a specialty,
I think.

I bet you do.

What are you doing here?

Oh, we're-we're making lunch.
What would you like?

This isn't fucking Panera
Bread. You done downstairs?

- LOUREN�O: Yep.
- Let's go.

We'll finish tomorrow.

Um, Bob, I can't tomorrow.

I told you that.

BOB:
Oh, Jesus.

Go clean all
the brushes with warm water.

And don't let 'em soak.

Um...

Well, you said
you could do this in one day.

Yeah. But it needs
a second coat, Miriam.

Yeah, I know that. Well,
you-you said that you could...

Can you come on Friday?

"Can you come on Friday?"

Unbelievable.

- You're regressing, you
know that?
- Yeah.

This from the woman

who spends all fucking day
finger-painting.

Fuck off. I'll see you Friday.

Louren�o, come on.

MIRIAM:
Thanks, Louren�o!

SCOTT:
Uh, uh, Louren�o!

Come in, come in!

I haven't seen you all day.

Sit, sit.

Uh...

Okay.

Have you met my neighbor Todd?

He and his husband,
they live in Hawaii,

but they just bought
the house next door.

Have you ever met them?

- I don't think so.
- No?

I don't really know them
at all.

But Todd is a lawyer,

and they say
he's a very good one.

And I just thought
he might have some ideas.

You know,
to help you out, to...

help you get a visa.

- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.

- So I invited him over

for a-a bite
on-on Friday night.

He's just here a few days.

Is that-- is that all right
with you?

- Yes, of course.
- Friday night? Okay.

- Sure.
- Okay. Well, don't make
any plans for that night then.

- Yeah. Okay.
- Okay.

What should I bring?
Should I cook for us?

Yeah. Sure, you can.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Now, tonight, I was gonna make,
uh, chicken Milanese.

I don't know
if you're interested.

I'm so tired tonight.
I worked all day.

Oh. Well, now,
that makes sense.

- Okay. Okay. Okay.
- Okay.

You get some sleep, sweetheart,
and get rest.

- Yes.
- Okay.

Thank you so much, Scott.

- Of course.

LOUREN�O: So when Joe
invited me here, I-I...

couldn't get it out of my head,

but I didn't know
how to face my mom.

So I made up this lie about
getting accepted into Harvard.

MAURICE:
Really? That's unbelievable.

Guess I just...

I just needed
to get out of there.

And be able to be myself.

All I knew about being gay
was...

homophobic.

You have no idea.

I think I do.

I mean, I grew up in Richmond,
and...

that's no joke.

And it definitely wasn't cool
to be gay in my hood.

My dad, he was...

actually the best about it
out of anyone.

My mom, she kind of lost it
for a few months, but...

she eventually came around.

Mm.

Harvard.

Are you serious?

It had to look big
or she would never let me go.

Should have seen all the
fake paperwork I prepared

for this fake master.

The Harvard logo
and everything.

Are your parents
still together?

No. My dad passed
just recently.

I'm sorry.

Yeah. Um...

I miss him a lot.

He was amazing.

Uh, what about you?

What did your father say?

Well...

my mom is both my parents.

And she doesn't know.

Thank you.

Thank you, Dimo.

My pleasure.

Have you traveled a lot?

Me?

No, I haven't been anywhere, really.

But I've always had a sense

that my life was happening
without me,

somewhere far away.

Was it here?

Joe was here.

But I always wanted
to come to the U.S. anyway.

I always thought this was
the best place in the world.

Everything is so broken here.

Sometimes I feel
like a stranger.

What?

You're the American one.

Right.

I was six years old

when a white man told me
and my dad

to go back to Africa.

I'm almost 36 years old today,

and look around.

Look.

There's literally no one here
who looks like me.

I counted...

five in town.

Five in four days.

One of them was Crystal.

So, yeah, I'm American, but...

...sometimes I wish I wasn't.

Damn.

This place is cute.

I know.

I wish
I could stay here forever.

Yeah, it's, um...

it's really special.

Suits you well.

I'm gonna go to the restroom.

All right.

Um...

Can I...
can I get you anything?

Do... do you...
do you have a condom?

Uh, I don't.
I'm on... I'm on PrEP.

Yeah, are you...
are you on PrEP?

Um, I-I just started, so, I...

You have a condom?

I do. I...

I'll go get it.

- Dude, you know what?

Don't worry about it.

- You okay?
- Yeah, I am.

Sorry.

It's cool. Come here.

Oh, don't stop.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Right there. Right there.

Right there.

Oh, that's it. Oh, fuck.

- I'm sorry. I just...

Oh.

Man.

What about you?

It's okay.

Don't worry.

? This road ?

- ? Is gonna take us back now ?

? You look so fine ?

? I don't know how to act now ?

? They say, "My child" ?

? "Don't stroll off easy" ?

? "'Cause when it"... ?

- Where'd you get that from?

I don't know.
Some thrift store.

I think I stole it.

- Hey!
- Hi.

What's up?

Aw. That's so sweet.

- Can I have one, too?
- Yes.

So, you're coming

to Sinners and Saints
tomorrow, aren't you?

He is coming to Sinners
and Saints tomorrow, right?

You want to come
to Sinners and Saints?

- It's tomorrow.
- Sure.

Fabulous.

Make yourself at home.

Okay.

? And when it's time... ?

- You want some?
- Um, no thank you.

- I need to eat first.
- Okay.

I'll take some.
Thank you.

Bon app�tit.

Mm. Thank you.

? And you... ?

Hey, BJ, what's in this?

This isn't tobacco, right?

What is this,
peppermint? Flowers?

Hey, BJ?

? So, I'm... ?

She thinks she's so clever.

So, you're Brazilian,
not Mexican?

Yeah.

- You got some...
- Oh.

[in Portuguese]
Thank you.
- Yeah.

[speaking in Portuguese]
- Yeah.

BJ: Can I have my joint back, please?

I was in a Mexican movie
not too long ago.

He just said he was Brazilian.

- Well, it wasn't a real movie.
- BJ: Here we go.

But you kind of look
like that actor.

Slash, director.
In the face.

- Yeah.
- CRYSTAL: You know?

- You're an actress?
- Me?

Oh, God, no.

Mm, I'm a movie star, honey.

There she is.

Lord. Oh, I'm exhausted.

I just got plowed by,
like, five different guys.

Spit roasted.

And yet,
I have still not found love.

- CRYSTAL: Shocker.

I know.

- I'm gonna go in the water.
- Ooh, me, too.

Hey, you want to come?

Sure.

Let's go.

LESLIE:
Babe.

It's a nude beach.
What's with the shorts?

Hey, you don't have to.

? Is it any wonder? ?

? Is it any wonder? ?

? Is it any wonder? ?

? Huh-huh, huh-honey ?

? Huh-huh, huh-huh, honey ?

? Huh-huh, honey... ?

? Huh-huh, huh-huh, honey... ?

Mmm. Hmm.

Hey, babycakes.
Has the pill kicked in yet?

Not yet.
When is it supposed to?

- Will you shut the fuck up?

? In this life ?

? We get so crazy ?

? So rude, boy ?

? Don't be so lazy ?

? Flowers on my mind ?

? Sunshine on the breeze ?

? Take a load off,
get into this beat ?

? Sunshine on my mind ?

? Flowers on the breeze ?

? Sunshine on my mind ?

? Ooh, ooh-ooh ?

? Honey, honey... ?

MAURICE: Yes, one pepperoni
and one cheese. Yup.

- That's it.

Okay, great.

Can I have a drag?

Do you want one?

- No, no. We can share.
- Okay.

- I'm all about sharing.

Hey, you want
to see something funny?

It's right here in my wallet.

Oh, my God. Is that you?!

- Look at your hair!

Yeah. Yeah, I had a lot, too.

How do you say "handsome"
in Portuguese?

- Bonito.
- Bonito.

- Good.

Tell me something
in your language.

- Teach me.
- What?

I... I don't know.

I mean, um...

Read this for me.

Okay.

My land has more roses

and almost more lovers.

My land has more gold.

My land has more land.

Gold, land, love, and roses.

I want everything my land has.

God don't let me die
before going back home.

What is it?

It's a...

It's a poem
about going back home.

Oh. Is that what you want?

No. I don't.

Hmm.

And what is it...

that you want?

Ah. And what does that mean?

I want you to do it again.

Maybe you should do it
this time.

Really?

Why are you so surprised?

I don't know.
You're such a stud.

- What?
- Nothing.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing. It's just, um...

It's just...

It's typically just white guys

who assume I'm a top
right out the gate

and call me a stud.

It's... it's weird.

I'm verse.

Oh, I-I don't mind.

I can... I can be verse, too.

Good morning.

- I made you some coffee.
- Mm.

Thank you.

Careful. It's hot.

Mmm.

LOUREN�O: Oh, no, no, no.
I have bad breath.

- MAURICE: Oh, yeah?
- Bad breath.

- MAURICE: Yes, it's so bad.

I sent you the address
for tonight--

the Sinners and Saints party
Crystal was talking about?

- Oh. Great.
- Yeah, it could be fun.

Yeah. Uh, I-I just have
this dinner with Scott

and a friend of his.

- He's a lawyer.
- Oh.

- Yeah. Good luck with that.
- Thanks.

- Maybe after?
- Yeah, maybe.

Okay.

You're not coming?

I got a doctor's appointment.

You start
with the living room first,

then do the kitchen, okay?

Louren�o, it looks great.

- Good morning.
- Hi.

Where's Bob?

Um, I think he went
to the doctor.

MIRIAM: This is more
of my most recent work,

really, of the-the
last few years.

It was like a scream
inside my head.

Actually just had
to follow the brush.

- They are so beautiful.

Mm.

- Thank you.
- So alive. I mean...

Wow.

This one here,
with the colors of Brazil.

- Oh, yes, yes.
- I love it.

Wow.

Oh, well that's my early work.

Nothing remarkable.

But I didn't really know
what I was doing.

I guess I was doing

what everyone was doing,

what everyone
expected me to do.

It felt very safe.

Then I-I met
the most wonderful person,

and then we fell in love,
and that's when...

- ...the colors.

I mean, how-how many times
have you seen...

How many times?

I just...

was trying so hard to please,
and for so long.

I never really realized
nobody's watching.

No one.

SCOTT:
C-Can I help you?

Oh, hey, um...

- Yeah, I was just
looking for...
- For what?

I'm sorry, who are you?

No, who are you, please?

I'm Maurice.

I'm a-a friend of Louren�o's,

and I-I left my wallet here.

Last night.

Oh, last night. Uh...

- Yeah, and I-I just found it.

It was, uh,
it was under the bed.

Well, I-I'm sorry. Uh...

If you will just close the
door, please, when you leave.

Yeah, sure.

Hi. This is Joe.

Please leave a message,
and I'll call you right back.

- Thank you.

Hi. Um, it's me.

I don't know if you
got my last text, but, um...

I was hoping we could talk.

I'm fine, and really
it's just, uh...

I thought it'd be nice.

Um... Anyway,

have a good night.

Okay, kid, let's go.

- MIRIAM: Bob. Hey.
- Oh, Jesus Christ.

Where have you been?

BOB:
I had shit to do.

Well, what-what about this?

Because Louren�o
did all of this

- by himself today.
- BOB: So what?

- Hey, kid, where's the ladder?
- LOUREN�O: Oh, I'll go get it.

Get the fucking ladder.

Bob.

I paid you twice as much
as you asked for.

You told me that
you needed money.

BOB: Do you need
the money back, Miriam?

Well, that's not the problem,
you know that.

- BOB: So what's the problem?
- I-I'm...

I want to help.

So, now, all of a sudden,
you're feeling guilty?

No, Bob. No.

I don't feel guilty.

Where's Suzanne, by the way?

Get sick and tired
of her as well?

Is that why you're renovating?

She's in Connecticut,
and she went to see her mother.

BOB:
You know, fuck this.

Bob!

You know that I care,
and I always will.

Then why don't you give me
a fucking break, Miriam?

? ?

? ?

LOUREN�O:
Right here. Thank you.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Uh, wait. Here.
Please take this.

- I really shouldn't.
- I-I'm sure that he forgot.

Thank you.

Don't worry about him.
He's-he's not angry with you.

He's angry with me.

I broke his heart when I fell
in love with Suzanne,

and then it just...

You know it's inevitable.

You might break someone's heart
on the way to opening your own.

Okay.

It's always worth it.

Okay.

Well, we keep looking
for the colors.

Yeah.

- Thanks.

SCOTT: They come here,
they buy everything,

- destroy anything.
- TODD: Mm-hmm.

SCOTT:
And they sell it.

TODD:
Or rent it as a B and B.

SCOTT: That's not what
you're gonna do with it, is it?

TODD:
We can't be here all the time.

May we all live love enough
to be replaced then

by a... by a Chipotle.

- Oh.
- Oh. Here... he is.

- Oh, here he is.
- Oh!

- Hi.
- You must be Louren�o.

- Yes.
- Hi. I'm Todd.

- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

You, too.

Oh, lasagna.
It's my mom's recipe.

I love lasagna! Thank you.

You look so familiar.

Now, have we met before?

I don't know.

Maybe in July
when you were here. Uh...

Maybe we met
in another lifetime.

- Ah.

- Well, sit down. Sit down.
- Yeah.

I'll put this in the oven.

Okay. Sit, sit, sit.

Oh. Ooh, wine?

Um, yeah, sure.

You won't find anything
like it.

It's from Argentina,

home of the best Malbec
in the world.

- Thank you.
- Try it.

- Oh.

- Hmm?
- It's nice.

Now where is home
for you, darling?

I detect an accent.

Yeah. I was born in Brazil.

Uh. Beautiful country.

Beautiful men.

Terrible wine.

So, Scott told me that are you

- undocumented.
- Yes.

Now are you in the...
entertainment field?

'Cause you look like an actor.

Don't tell me
you entertain gentlemen.

Um, no.

Um... I'm an accountant.

- Hmm.
- Yeah.

Um, and I'm here
on a tourist visa

that expires in October.

I would love to apply
for a working visa.

Any type, really, but...

But you need a sponsor,
or an employer.

Yes, and nobody will hire me
without papers.

Ugh. It's getting so hard
these days.

What with the crazy politics.

I mean, if you don't have
a special qualification,

- they won't even...
- No, I do. Um, I do.

I have a certificate
in accounting.

- I used to work...
- Yes, yes, yes, yes.

But... it's...

Mm, it's really not
that special.

You know what I mean?

I'm just...

I am just a corporate attorney,

but my husband's sister works
at Homeland Security.

Now, I could put you
in contact with her,

and she could tell you
what's best for your case.

How's that?

It's just a-a simple
consultation over the phone.

Won't cost you a thing.

- SCOTT: Here I am.
- TODD: Oh.

SCOTT:
Just ten more minutes. Sorry.

TODD:
No problemo.

I do not have a date
afterwards.

They had no idea
she had brain cancer.

Oh, that is so sad.

I saw them all a month ago
at a fundraising event in town.

She looked fine.
Oh, poor Sally.

- Now the vet...
- Yeah?

- ...gave her two months.
- Oh.

Wait, wait.
What event was that?

Oh, it was at the Mary Heaton
Vorse house?

Still trying to raise money
for the LGBTQIAP+ museum.

Can you believe there isn't
one yet in P-town?

I mean,
Michael would be so mad.

- I mean...

Wait. Wait, wait.

Did you say "I-A"?

I mean, I have fallen behind.

What else?
Was that a... a "P"?

Yeah. Intersex, asexual,
pansexual, plus.

Hmm. Asexual?
Asexual? Why...? -Mm.

Why should asexuals be
in a group defined by sex?

We are not defined by sex.

Now, to be honest, I still
have a problem with the "Q."

I mean, what does that mean, really?

And it's not cute.

- It stands for "queer."
- Hmm.

- Well, we're...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It used to mean odd.

Would you like some more?

- TODD: Hmm.
- I'm okay, thanks.

TODD: I guess
it's like the "N" word.

I mean, I can't say it
because I'm not Black,

but they sure can say it,
and they do.

With themselves,
oh, and their rap music.

I don't know.
I don't know. It's...

I don't have
that many Black friends.

I know
that sounds terrible, but...

Do you?

SCOTT: I do, yes,
but they're all in New York.

TODD:
Oh. And you?

Yeah.

TODD:
Well, of course you do.

Excuse me.

TODD:
He is...

adorable.

Hi.

Thank you.

MAURICE:
Hey! Hey, hey.

- You look great.
- Thank you.

Yeah.

Oh, my God, you, too.
You're Jesus.

- Thank you. And you like?
- Yeah.

Hi, baby!

- Mwah.
- Look at these.

Hi, Lour, you look amazing.

Oh, my God, we're here!

Oh, what did the lawyer say?

- Um...
- LESLIE: Hey, hey. Ooh.

Let's go outside.

? You know sometimes,
in the morning ?

? I just like to talk shit ?

? A lot of us,
so what's the tea? ?

? So what's the tea?
What's the tea? ?

Baby, can we get two cups
as well? Thank you.

I met your friend today.

My friend? Hmm.

- Your landlord?
- Oh, Scott.

Yeah, I guess he wanted
to make sure

I wasn't stealing or something.

Oh, my God, really? I'm sorry.

Don't worry. It's nothing new.

Hey. Okay, let's go.

Okay. Ooh, ooh, ooh, hold on.

What? Who are we looking at?

- The man of my dreams.
- Oh, Lord.

Which one, him?

LESLIE:
Oh, he is cute.

MAURICE:
Ooh. Yes.

LOUREN�O:
Hi.

What? I... I-I know him.

- Clearly.

Aw. Hey, who are you
supposed to be, anyway?

Like, some... Oh, my gosh.

Don't tell me. Are you
a "Tom of Finland" character?

- Who?

Oh, my God. I just love you.

Just save some
for the rest of us, okay?

He's just a friend of a friend,
that's...

Yeah, uh, as much
as I would love to hear

about Louren�o's
sexual history,

- what if instead...
- No.

What if instead

we went to the bathroom
and did drugs

before Crystal finishes
them all?

- Okay, thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Come on, let's do it.

? It's time to go... ?

BJ:
Close the door, I'm pissing.

- MAURICE: Got you.
- LESLIE: Hello, babies.

- Welcome to my office.
- Hi.

So, what do we want? One dose?

LOUREN�O:
Um...

- I don't, I don't know.
- Oh.

- Hey, have you ever done G?
- No.

Well, then you should probably
just start with one.

You are gonna fly
to Mars and back.

You know what?
I think I'm okay, thank you.

- Yeah, I got pills.
- It's fine.

Come over here, honey.
Let me fix your face.

LOUREN�O:
Okay.

LESLIE:
What about you, Mr. Superman?

You so tall.
You want two doses or what?

MAURICE:
Um...

You know what?
I'm good, too.

? Boys like me ?

? I like boys who like boys ?

? Mama, I like boys
who like boys ?

? Work, I like boys
who like boys ?

? Mama, I like boys
and boys like me ?

? Yeah, boys like me ?

? Yeah, they do, boys like me ?

? Ooh, boys like me ?

? Motherfuckin' boys like me,
bitch ?

? I like when they shake it,
shake it ?

? I like when they grind
real slow ?

? I like when
they almost naked ?

? Tell Dad I'm so homo ?

? Lights off, doors shut,
tall, dark, clean-cut ?

? Thick with a bubble butt,
yup ?

? Mama, I like boys ?

? I like pecs ?

? Like them arms,
when they flex ?

? Like that print
in them sweats ?

? Tell them girls,
"Thank you, next" ?

? I like when they text me
sexy pics of 'em ?

? Like them abs
when there's six of 'em ?

? Tell them girls,
"I'm sorry, I like boys" ?

? Mama, boys like me ?

? Yep, boys like. ?

Hey, how you doing?

Hey. Hey, good. How are you?

I haven't seen you
since Joe left.

Yeah. Been working a lot.

Can I get a tequila and soda, buddy?

Hey, here you go.

- Oh, thanks.
- MAURICE: Yeah.

- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you, too.

Hey, I-I'm glad
to see you're cool, man.

Honestly, I still can't believe
he's getting married.

What are you talking about?

MAN:
Joe.

Oh, fuck.
Well, I don't understand.

Nobody told you?
You must've known.

Yeah. Of course.

MAN:
Oh, my... Oh, my God, good.

'Cause I was like,
"Ah, this is bad."

But of course you knew.

They've been on and off
forever.

LOUREN�O:
Yeah.

MAN: All right, I'll...
I'll see you later, okay?

- Okay.

- MAN: Nice to meet you.
- MAURICE: Yeah, you, too.

All good?

Yeah.

Are you sure? 'Cause
we could do something else.

No, no, I'm okay.

Want to dance?

- Yeah, let's go.
- All right.

? Don't you want
to be famous? ?

? Fast cars and limousines ?

? Don't you want
to be famous? ?

? You can dance like me ?

? Don't you want
to be famous? ?

? I can be
your crazy dream... ?

Can I have the pill now?

- Really? Now?
- Yeah.

All right, we can split one.

Come on, give me one.
I can handle it.

Together?

What?

Nothing.

- Thanks.
- No problem.

? I'm a star now ?

? Bet you wish you were me ?

? Don't you want
to be famous? ?

? Like me? ?

? Don't you want
to be famous? ?

? Like me? ?

I cannot believe
you have never seen

"Priscilla,
Queen of the Desert."

That's, like, gay history.

Oh, please.
Gay history is "Cruising."

- Gay history is choreo...
- Is what? What's "Cruising"?

- Is that a book?
- Are you... Oh, hey, baby.

- Hey.
- Oh, hi.

Where's your Brazilian?

- Dancing.
- Without you?

- Yeah.

I think he's kind of...

Oh, my fucking God,
would you look at that guy?

- He is gorgeous.
- Oh, my... Look at this nose.

- What's wrong with his nose?
- Nothing, honey. It's so big.

You are such a size queen.

Right, and you're the one
that loves their boyfriends.

Where's Crystal?

Oh, she disappeared
with the devil.

- Hey, what time is it?

It is time for another dose.

- Oh, my God, I love you.
BRB.

Fuck. You're so sexy.

? Close my eyes
and remind me... ?

Hey, where are you from?

Yeah, we-we know each other
already.

Fuck, you're right.

Yeah, that was a super fun
morning we spent together, huh?

Uh, it was more of a night.

- What?
- It was night!

Oh, right, man.
It's all a blur.

Yeah.

? Every single tear... ?

Sup?

MAN:
You guys together?

Not really, no.

Oh, fuck off, man.

Listen, I'm-I'm not
really feeling this.

I think I'm gonna go.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah. Yeah, why wouldn't I?

I'm fine.

But if you want to go,
w-we can catch up later.

? Talk with sensors... ?

All right.

? My body is ?

? Reclaim temple ?

? Melting sideways ?

? I'll swallow what you sign ?

? I'll swallow what you sign. ?

SCOTT:
Louren�o?

- Louren�o.

- Are you all right?

Mm-hmm.

- Yes. Yeah.
- Are you sure?

I'm okay, I'm okay.

I-I... I lost my phone.

Some coffee.

Thank you.

I can drive you to work.

No, it's okay.
You don't have to.

You'll be late.

I won't.

Oh, I would die for some.

BJ has been snoring all night.

Well, at least one of us
can get some sleep.

- Mm.
- CRYSTAL: Did you guys
have fun last night?

LESLIE:
I don't know.

Being gay is, like,
not even fun anymore.

Mm, honey. Being a woman
has never been fun.

- At least, until last night.

- Hello, sweetheart.

How you doing?

BOB:
What was that?

Uh, nothing.

- Oh, Jesus Christ.
- I'm sorry.

I'm gonna fucking charge you
for that, kid.

Okay, just get out of here,

just go downstairs,
clean the patio.

Okay, just get...

Go on. Go, go, go, go.
Go. Get out.

MAURICE:
S-Sorry to bother you here.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

W-What time are you leaving?

Oh, um, with the 10:30 ferry.

I don't have much time, actually.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I-I don't know
what came over me.

No, I-I'm sorry.

I should've never left.

Did you get home okay? I...

I texted, I got worried.

Yeah, I lost my phone.

Oh, I... I thought
you'd be mad.

Well, it was nice
spending time together.

You're cool.

Yeah. You, too.

You should come visit.

Where, in Angola?

Yeah, maybe when you get
your visa.

- If I ever get it.
- You will.

You're smart.

- I don't know about that.
- I do.

I mean, you did go to Harvard.

You know, I admire you a lot.

You know how long
it took for me

to apply to that fellowship?

It takes a lot of bravery
to do what you did.

But you did it.

Well, I'll come back
at some point.

BOB:
Louren�o!

Goodbye.

Of course, when you're
finally about to leave,

you suddenly find
a reason to stay.

Damn.

Hey, what if, what if
your life wasn't here?

I mean, what if it was
happening without you,

somewhere else?

I...

I'd keep looking for it,
I guess.

You promise?

I do.

BOB:
Louren�o!

Uh, well, I should go,
or I'll miss the ferry.

Yeah.

Tchau.

Tchau.

This isn't fuckin' done.
Louren�o.

There's fuckin' dust
everywhere.

Have you done this?

Can't you see the fuckin' dust?

You gotta fuckin'...
You gotta mop it out, kid.

What are you doing?

Can you fuckin' hear me?

Hey, hey!

Fuckin'... Wh-what...

What the...

SCOTT:
Did this break again? I'm so...

It's fine, just give it to me.

Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry.

Is this about Joe?

Wait. You knew?

You knew he had someone else?

- I'm sorry. I...
- Y-You're sorry?

Yes. I thought
it would get old,

and I thought you'd forget
all about him.

Would you have listened to me
if I'd told you?

He's fucking getting married.

Of course,
I would have listened.

Well, I'm sorry.

I guess I was trying
to protect you.

- Protect me?
- Yes.

You're here alone.
You're far from home.

I am not more alone
than you are.

I'm just trying
to help you, Louren�o.

- Help me? You?
- Yes.

- Wow.
- I'm your friend right now.

No. No, you're not.

You were trying to protect Joe.

That's the truth.

Louren�o, please.

- Sweetheart, don't...

I hate all of this.

Louren�o.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

Louren�o.

Come right in.

Right this way.

Thank you so much.

To get to the beach...

...it's a long walk.

Let me try and show you.

Jesus, how beautiful!

Can you see?

Yes! I can!

Now I get it...

It's so beautiful, son.

Mom...

We need to talk.

Sure. Tell me.

I'm listening.

I lied to you.

What are you talking about?

I'm not coming back.

What do you mean? Where are you going?

Do you know that...

...there are places with
more sheep than humans?

Louren�o...

Please, mom. Let me explain.

Listen to me.
