(SCREAMlNG)

(GASP)

Alive?

Did I have fun?

Yes.

Did l?

Yeah.

Got everything?

Cell phone?

Yes.

Wallet?.

Yes.

Self-respect?.

That wasn't with me last night.

? I'm dying to find ?

? Adifferent kind of love ?

I bought this for my... girlfriend.

And, uh... you know...

It just...

It wasn't the right fit.

So what's your return...

Sir, we kind of have a policy -

There's no exchanges or refunds on dildos
or penetrating devices.

I mean, but it wasn't what we were looking for, you know.

I understand. Maybe you can take it home
and use it as a dog chew toy or a paperweight.

Thanks for coming to the Gayborhood.

Thanks.

Have a good day.

'morning!

Good morning.

You're late.

I know.

Considering this is only your second week on the job -

You sure treat it with a lot of contempt.

Oh, don't take it personally, Zeke.

I treat all of my jobs with contempt.

Don't expect me to last very long.

I don't.

(FRONT DOOR OPENS)

Good morning, sir.

All purple dildos are on sale today.

Don't forget to buy in bulk.

It's a wonderful day for dildo-buying.

Zeke, I had the most incredible fourgy last night.

I just don't even know where to begin.

Please, don't. I just had breakfast.

Zeke -

Sex can be a lot of fun.

Don't knock it.

Just because I define myself as a gay man,
doesn't mean that I'm a whore.

I never charged a penny in my life.

Hi! Swimwear is on sale, right?.

For you, anything.

Twenty-nine dollars.

I'll take them.

These are going to look hot on you.

Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?

I don't know.

You look familiar, too.

Long John"

Excuse me?

That's how I entered you in my cell phone.

We hooked up about a year ago.

I fucked you in my bathroom.

Jesus Christ.

Right. I vaguely remember now.

Fun times.

How you been?

Good.

Long John, these are gonna hug you
in all the right places.

So do you still have my number?.
We should do it again sometime.

I'm flattered, but actually I don't do that anymore.

Bathtubs?

Sex.

I'm in S.C.A.

Oh I'm sorry, I don't speak acronym.

Sexual Compulsives Anonymous

Right, hush hush.

Why?

You couldn't tell I'm a sexual compulsive?

No. I thought you had sex with me because you like me.

Not because you're a compulsive.

When we had sex...

I had a slip.

I never smelled anything.

Here's my card.

Perhaps we can hang out sometime.

Yeah, but how will I know when you're having a slip?

Oh, not for sex.

Maybe you'd like to check out an SCA meeting?

Or a cuddle party.

Cuddle party?

How sad.

He is one of life's cruel contradictions -

A total bottom with a dick to die for.

And then - when he should be going to meetings
to learn how to top -

He decides to stop having sex all together.

Double sad.

I don't see what's sad about someone realizing they have
a problem, and trying to do something about it.

Seeing all these grown up men spending
all their time trying to get laid, now that's sad.

Oh Zeke, please.

There's a lot of important stuff happening out there.

Issues that we need to fight for...

Civil rights,

Discrimination, equality, marriage.

Well I don't see you out on the barricades.

You're working here with me here, peddling rubber dick.

Now why is that?

This is just temporary.

Hey Marilyn.

Oh Peter! Peter!

Guess what?

What?.

Who's getting married?

I am.

Bart asked me to marry him this morning. I'm engaged.

Congratulations!

My God, that's awesome!

Did you guys set a date?

We're thinking mid-September.

There's just so much to do.

Oh Peter! I am so excited for us.

You and Derek moving in together and me off to get married.

It really goes to show, you, you know -

Dreams do come true!

Congratulations, Bart.

Bart, sit down over here
so we can discuss the wedding invitations.

Not your department?.

I thought so.

Leave us alone then.

Kissy Kissy.

Kissy Kissy.

Men - it's never too late to teach them new tricks.

Anyway, it might be a bit premature, but...

I've started working on a seating chart.

Let me get your input.

This is huge.

Maybe this would be a good time to go over some rules.

What kind of rules?

I would just hate for us to fight
about the small stuff, you know, like...

...who's turn it is to do the dishes,

and taking out the garbage and stuff.

And then there's the toilet seat issue.

You know how much that bothers me.

Maybe we could put up a sign,
you know, to remind me.

I'm serious.

Alot of relationships go bad when people move in together.

I just don't want that to happen to us.

Baby, it won't.

We just have to be considerate of each other,
and give each other some slack.

Right?.

Right.

Besides, it's too late. Unless you were planning
on putting me out on the street or something.

I didn't say I changed my mind.

Are you trying to get me drunk?

Yeah, a little bit.

Here, let's have a toast, okay?

To ten wonderful months together and
many, many more to come.

I love you.

I love you more.

(CLUB MUSlC)

Let the manhunt begin!

Loose a button, make a friend.

You gonna come up for air, baby?

It's just so cavernous!

I'm addicted to cleavage. I don't understand it.

Um, maybe because it resembles ass?

Halt!

Quality control.

I need to verify that this drink is not poisoned.

Water?.

What?. Are you pregnant or something?

That is a rare species of cock!

What are you? Some kind of penis anthropologist?.

What do we have here, Mace?

We have an ergonomic variety. Not often found in North America.

I am South African.

Well that explains it!

So what will it be Luke?

Something stiff and fruity. Like my men.

Two vodkas. Splash of cranberry.

I've got me a twenty-five dollar pussy,
ladies and gentlemen. Oh, my god!

A five dollar ghetto booty and two dollar titties!

Oh there they go!

Who needs botox when you got cupcakes?

You know whatAnnie said, don't you?

Uh, who?

You know, Orphan Annie.

That lucky little bitch with the red hair.

I give up.

You're never fully dressed without a smile.

And that would make you naked.

I see...

So, what do you do?

Oh!

Now did you go ask him what he does for a living?

Yeah...

Cause Luke is allergic to that question.

Vodka!

I cannot be defined by how I pay my rent.

Then how? By that ridiculous scarf
and all the body glitter?

Honey, if you're not sparkling -
what the fuck are you doing?

Touché.

I'm Luke.

What name do they call out when they pin
your ankles behind your ears?

I'm Stephen.

Stephen with a V or Stephen with a PH?

Uh... PH.

Just verifying that you are gay.

Just for the record - my ankles are never behind my ears.

Try yoga. You'll get there.

Not necessary, I'm a total top.

How... Iimiting. Why?

Not that it's any of your business
but I just don't like to get fucked.

Wait, your name is Stephen with a PH
and you're a total top?

Papi, how could you neglect your prostate like that?

You know, nice talking with you girls -

And a great reminder of why I don't come to places like this.

And just what do you mean by that?.

People here are so... typical.

Are you calling me typical?

Typical might not be flamboyant enough.

I'd say, you're more of a gay cliché.

Eres mas pasiva que la puta que te pario!
(You're more of a bottom than the bitch that gave you birth!)

He called me a gay cliché.

Oh fuck him!

What does he want me to do? Wear flannel and go hiking?

I'll show him gay cliché!

Oh, no!

Would the crazy faggot get off the furniture?!

Would the drag queen please get a wardrobe budget?.

Security!

I'm Tess Tickles and this is my show!

Get your paws off me!

Whoa!

Oh!

Hey there, shy boy.

Where do you live?

No, where do you live, stud?

I'm sick of changing my sheets.

Eightieth and Broadway.

Where do you live?

I live around the corner actually.

Bye!

I was starting to judge myself...

And I have the potential to judge myself
right back into a bar.

So I dumped that little pee-wee,
cause ain't nobody taking my fucking sobriety.

No way! No how! Ain't gonna happen!

(APPLAUSE)

Hi, I'm Marilyn and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi Marilyn.

Thanks for the share, Sheila.

I'm still having trouble... Ietting go.

I'm having trouble getting to step three...

But thanks to my sponsor Trisha, I think I'll get there.

I'm learning to appreciate the little things in life.

You know, like cranberry juice.

I used to resent cranberry juice because
it made my vodka taste so...

I don't know...

Sweet.

Now I realize cranberry juice can be really tasty.

Straight up!

(APPLAUSE)

Luke?

Try to look busy.
The owner said he might come by today.

What do you want me to do?

I don't know... Dust porn.

You know, I never in a million years
imagined I'd grow up to be this -

A duster of porn.

Who said you're grown up?

God knows you're no spring chicken...

...but as far as fitting into the
sociological framework of an adult?

Eh-eh.

I suppose you learned all this
sociology mumbo-jumbo at the New School?

Before they kicked you out?

They didn't kick me out. I left.

Well, I didn't have to waste time at college
to learn about sociology.

Did you know that some study on the correlation
between penis size and various things -

Found that there is no connection whatsoever
with the size of the feet?.

And you bring this up because...?

The study did claim however,
there is a connection between penis size and height.

But I often find glaring exceptions to that rule.

Well maybe their sampling wasn't as big as yours.

True!

So why did you leave?

What?.

School?

My parents stopped helping me with tuition
after I came out to them.

Ouch!

They decided New York wasn't the best place for me -

And instead enrolled me at some religious school in Ohio.

Eww!

That's why I didn't go back.

Black anal lickers.

I think I know that guy!

That's a picture of an ass!

Yeah...

I think I slept with it.

God, you're so typical.
Where are the normal gay people?

Typical?

You just hold it right there, Mister!

The other night, some guy called me a gay cliché -

Very perceptive of him.

Excuse me?
(DOOR OPENS)

For your information, there is nothing typical about me!

At all!

Just because we work together you think you know me.

I went home with you once. Remember?.

Bits and pieces...

So?

So, I know you're not very good.

I passed out!

Exactly.

I was drunk!

No kidding!

Yoo-hooo!

You two are such a cute couple.

And you sweetie...

Oh, you remind me so much of myself as a young man.

Peter, tell me...

Am I just a pathetic gay cliché?

Don't answer that.

I know what you think.

But seriously -

Why does this bother me so much?

I guess everybody has a need to feel
significant in some way.

You have Derek and that whole lovey-dovey shit.

But that's not for me.

I guess being single and easy makes me feel good.
If I wanna fuck I fuck.

Are you following me?

Hey Marilyn! How is restaurant managing treating you?

Luke! What a pleasant surprise.

Maybe I should come work for you?
We had such fun waiting tables together last summer, didn't we?

Yes, didn't we?

Oh, and Peter tells me you got engaged to the owner.
Way to go!

Thank you, Luke.

But... I thought you couldn't have a relationship
if you're in Alcoholics Anonymous.

It's not a cult.

Anonymous means anonymous, Peter.

Sorry.

Right. Hush, hush. If only your liver could talk.

As a matter of fact, I'm late for a meeting.

Trusting you can close things up?

Don't forget to throw out the trash.

Goodnight, Marilyn. Lets go for drinks soon.

Hey baby!

Hey!

How you doing?

Good!

I'll have another.

Actually, we're closed.

Oh, come on! A friend in need.

Derek, you remember Luke, one of our regulars.

Hello there Luke.

And hello to you.

He's just depressed because he found out today
that he's a gay cliché.

I am not!

Okay, baby... Just give me a few minutes.
I just have to close out.

OK.

So Luke, right?

Why don't you tell me what's bothering you?

How can it be?

I've worked so hard to stand out.

To sparkle!

Not to be some stereotype.

I don't think you have to worry about that.
You seem to stand out to me.

Besides, nobody fits neatly into a stereotype Luke.

Do you have a big dick?

Uhh, I don't know.

Really?

Let me investigate!

OK, sure, sure! I have a big dick.

So you're a black man with a big dick.

We're all just a bunch of stereotypes.

All of us.

There are black men with small dicks.

Poor, poor souls.

There are exceptions to all stereotypes.

But I don't want to be an exception, or a stereotype.

I wanna be exceptional!

Sometimes it all seems so pointless.

Are you lonely?

I'm drunk.

You know before I met Peter -

I felt that way a lot.

You know, I wasn't unhappy, but something
definitely was missing in my life.

Baby, I'm ready to go.

Luke, out!

Don't let him pussy-whip you, okay?

Excuse me?

I'm just saying. I know Peter.

I think I can take care of myself.

Hey, I said time to go.

No kidding! Where's the party?

Now we'll get you a cab and get you home, OK?

Home? Who's going home?

Home is the four-letter word for no other option.
I am not going home.

Where's Mace?

Come on, honey, lets go.

(CLUBMUSlC)

Audrey!

Hi!

What are you doing later?

There's a party in my pants and everybody's coming.

I'm Luke.

I know.

We've hooked up like three times.

You never remember me!

Sorry! Just trying to be polite.

Luke! Yeah, you made it!

I always do.

You've got to see Mace performing in the dark room.

I just... I just saw like, seven hands and a trunk.

It's something out of lndian mythology.

Have you been pollinating again, baby?

Give us the blow by blow.

I was nursing a giant banana slug.

I held a left hook in one hand and
a sloping cascade in the other.

That is the most highly evolved species.

It's naturally angled to just slide...

My turn!

Follow me.

Beware of the trolls, mamita!

Audrey, can I go home now?

Aww, just nuzzle in, hon. It's OK.

Everything's gonna be just fine.

(SOFT MOANS)

Where did you learn that?

Hobby.

You've got some talent.

Umm, practice makes perfect.

You wanna...

You wanna finish this at my place?
I kind of want your undivided attention.

Are you always this needy?

Not always.

Well, it's not everyday that I find a sloping cascade.

A what?

Asloping cascade. My friend Mace -

-You?
-Stephen?

With a PH!

Well that's funny.

Are you stalking me?

Hell no!

Still wanna come home with me?

No!

Why not?

You called me a gay cliché.

Aw! You didn't strike me as the sensitive type.

I didn't mean to upset you.

Yes you did.

Well, I take it back.

Woof!

Meow!

Lets blow this joint.

I already have.

I'm beat.

I bet. Long day, huh?

Anything I can get you?

Always the gentleman.

Anything for my baby.

Roses are very conventional, of course.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

At my cousin Suzy's wedding, they had tulips.

Tulips! Everywhere.
It was so bizarre!

Just a few more minutes, honey. I'm so ready.

Umm, right there, honey.

Umm, right there! That's it!

No tulips.

No tulips for me.

Wait, let me get this straight.

You met your perfect man -

In the backroom at BoysRoom?

Isn't that ideal?

Most people would be ashamed to admit that.

I am not most people!

No Kidding.

I've been with a lot of guys.

I mean, A LOT of guys...

But this was something out of the ordinary.

What, you didn't pass out?.

Stephen and I had a real connection.

I think we even looked each other in the eyes.

And the way he fucked me,
I went right into the stratosphere.

And then he didn 't care about cumming himself.

He didn't cum?

No. He said he didn't need to.

It was all about my pleasure.

Well, you must have liked that.

Oh, I did.

I bet he's on anti-depressants.

Or Tiina

What?.

Or E. He probably couldn't cum.

That is not true. I can make anyone cum.

He just chose not to.
For him it was all about Moi!

Jesus!

So what about you?

Did you bang anyone from naked yoga class last night?.

Naked yoga class is not about sex, Luke.

Me and Jasper were busy
making flyers for the equal rights march.

Huh.

Who's Jasper?.

My dog.

Aren't you non-stop fun.

Hey you!

Now that's customer service.

Luke is trained to satisfy.

Zeke, this is Stephen.

With a PH.

So you're the guy who's been keeping Luke awake all night?.

Hey don't I know you?

I don't' think so.

So, to what do we owe the pleasure
of your presence here at the Gayborhood?

Interested in a butt-plug?
May I introduce you to the anal intruder?.

No smart ass, you know I'm not into that.

I came to ask you on a date.

How proper!

Luke doesn't date. Too much commitment.

Is that true?

Not necessarily. It's just the idea of dating...

Hi! How are you?

Hi.

Sitting across from a complete stranger
and having them ask me forced questions...

Iike how many brothers and sisters I have,

where I grew up, and what my star sign is.
It's so unnatural.

Credit or debit?

Debit.

Go ahead and swipe your card and press your pin.

Date is a four letter word for interview.

And if I wanted one of those -

I'd look for a real job.

Thank you.

So, may I schedule one?

What?.

I like the skills on your resume. Can I set up an interview?

Only if it's a very modern-day,
very no-strings-attached type interview.

I'm a no-strings-attached employer.

I won't even bother to check your references.

Yeah, that would take years.

So, how about tomorrow?

Yes.

You don't know me, and I don't know you.

Perfect!

There's a spinning class at David Barton Gym at 7.30 PM.

Be there.

Will do.

Oh, fuck you, Zeke.

Come on!

Five... four... three... two... one!

Hit it! Up and off that seat, come on!

Yeah go for it!

That's right, up that hill!

Go! Nice!

Pound with that foot. Pound it!

Yeah. Come on, you can do it!

Keep going. That's right!

All right guys...

...you ready?

I said are you ready?

One - go!

Yeah! Go. Come on!

Yeah! Come on, you can do it! Push.

Push! Yeah.

Save it for the steam room.

So I was wondering:
How many brothers and sisters do you have,

where did you grow up, and what's your star sign?

One of each.

Beaverton, Oregon.

Cancer.

And you?

I'm an only child. Beverly Hills, California. Leo.

So, what do we do now that we know each other?

I think we take it slow.

All the way to my place.

Impressive.

You don't remember my place from the other night?

Not at all.

I just hope you don't substitute taste with a price tag.

Well, I brought you home didn't l?

You calling me cheap?

So how do you afford all your baubles?

Are you asking what I do for a living?

Let me rephrase the question.

Who had to die for you to afford this place?

Well if you must know, I have a trust fund.

Well it's not something I'm proud of, or not proud of.

It just is. And it allows me to focus on my passion.

Which is?

Painting.

I'm getting my MFAat the New School.

Everything you see on the wall is mine.

Nice.

I'm trying to evoke visual emotions from my art.

I want you to feel something when you look at it.

Like those ink blots?

Would you like to lay down?

Don't mind if I do.

How does that one make you feel?

Horny.

And this one?

Horny.

What's your passion in life?

I would have to say sex.

Nothing more? Nothing a little deeper?

Oh, deeper...

And you wonder why I called you a gay cliché.

And what would you like to hear doctor?

That all I want is to love and be loved?

And until I find that, I'll fuck to forget?.

Well, now you've given me something to work with.

Great.

That'll be our little secret.

So, um...

How much do I owe you for this session?

Just a kiss.

I'm sorry, I gotta head out.

I have a friend who's going through some drama

and I told her I'd meet her for dinner at nine-thirty.

Oh.

To be honest I had no idea that our date would go so well.

But I'm looking forward to getting more inside of you.

Pun intended.

I'll call you tomorrow.

I'll call you after dinner.

Honey - no!

Because I don 't want you to re-arrange anything in there.
Just wait until I get home, OK?

Thank you.

I love you more.

I don't know what to do.

What's that honey?

I just... I just need things
to be a certain way, you know, and...

...Derek doesn't get that.

And now he's started re-arranging
the bedroom closet to fit his things in.

Even though we both know, I would do it better.

Is there something else bothering you?

No.

Well... Yeah.

He takes everything so lightly.

Always so sweet to everyone. Always in a good mood.
Always so perfect, all the time.

And I guess that just makes me feel...

Not so perfect.

Don't you sabotage this, now Peter.

Relationships can be very scary.

But when it's right, it's right. And you'll know.

Yeah, but how do you know?

Well, I don't know. What are you asking me for?.

Look, don't think so much.

Sometimes you just have to just plunge ahead
and go after what you want.

Happiness is not waiting around for anybody.

It has to be grabbed, and held on to.

A dirty martini for me is like...

Awoman's breasts.

One is not enough, but three -

Three is definitely not enough.

Anybody else with a burning desire?

I'm Marilyn, and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi Marilyn.

I could really go for a Long lsland lce Tea, right now.

But... thanks to my sponsor Trisha, she's taught me that -

I only want something to hold onto.

I want a prostitute!

I've been sober for...

Thirty-four weeks.

And as most of you know, I'm getting married soon.

To my wonderful fiancé.

So if anybody knows of a banquet hall that would
compliment my colors of cantaloupe and cream -

You can speak to me after the meeting.

Someone else?

Hi, I'm Sam, and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi Sam!

I've got a burning desire for just... a beer.

Any beer!

One beer!

I've got just two days of sobriety
and I've been coming here almost two years.

We must realize that we're powerless
in the face of our addictions.

Give me a prostitute!

Aprostitute!

Are we all finished here?

Thank you.

It was delicious.

Good!

I just feel so ashamed when I see people like Bobbi.

Who's been in the program just a couple of months, and...

...she's already on step seven.

And here I am, and I can't even seem to reach step three.

It seems like the harder I try, the further away I am.

Breathe Marilyn.

You just need to give up the control of
your life to your higher power. Just let go.

I guess I feel that if I don't control it,
it won't get done.

For example: I registered at Macy's -

And there's this crock pot that I'm dying to have.

And when I went back over my registry,
they had forgotten to include it.

Completely overlooked!

I mean, if I hadn't double checked; that crock pot
would not be among my wedding gifts.

You think I can just leave a 300 Dollar crock pot,
up to my higher power?

Is Bart able to help you in letting go?

No, Bart thinks I'm making a big fuss over nothing.

He can't even help me locate a venue for my bridal shower.

Maybe you should just wait a little with your wedding,
it seems really stressful.

No! I wanna get it over with.

Do you think we can have my bridal shower at my home group?

Marilyn...

Yes?

Trisha...

This doesn't feel right.

Marilyn, I know you're attracted to me too.

I am?

You could be rushing into this wedding...

To avoid dealing with your true feelings.

Have you ever...

been with a woman?

No. Never.

Oh, God, I'm so into you.

Waiter!

Dessert menus, ladies.

One vodka sour, please.

Coming right up.

No Marilyn!

What have I done? I'm to be a married woman.

Marilyn, you cannot compromise your sobriety.

Just one, Trisha. Just one.

It doesn't work like that.

Just one, damn it! I'm in control.

No you're not. I'm not. We are not.

Look, I shouldn't have let my feeling come over me.
I'm not in control of them.

But I am your sponsor, and...

Vodka sour.

Ok.

Trisha!

I will not drink you, just this minute.

Not, just this minute.

Not...

Oups.

Peter, Marilyn is here to see you.

Hey!

Marilyn, what are you doing here?

Is everything ok?

Peter I don't know what to do.

Oh, ok. Come here and tell us what's wrong.

I don't have any close girlfriends in the city.

What do you mean?

Well, I thought I had a maid of honor.

But...

Well, I don't want to get into it.

Anyway, I have to put together my bridal shower all by myself.

And I don't know where, or how, or who, and...

One really shouldn't have to organize one's own shower.

Maybe it's not necessary to have a bridal shower?.

You know, we would love to host your shower.

You would?

Yeah, of course we would.

It would have to be a non-alcoholic event.

Naturally. Naturally.

But who are you going to invite?

Oh, don't worry, we'll find you lot's of girlfriends.

And Peter, your ass is gonna look so good in a little slinky frock.

Oh no! No, I played Jo, in an all male production
of Little Women, for six weeks.

I think I've had enough drag to last me a lifetime.

Don't' be selfish. Do it for me.

I mean -

Do it for Marilyn.

And yesterday this other guy started blowing me.
Also in the steam room.

But this time I didn't cum because we got interrupted.

Don't you hate when that happens?

I know. But isn't that crazy?
Twice in the same week.

People have no shame.

So, Luke...

When this... happens to you...

Do you ever think that maybe... Just once...

You should say no to it?

No. Why?

Well... You say you like this Stephen guy...

Maybe you should explore monogamy?

That's true.

I really do like Stephen.

And yesterday as I was getting my dick sucked,
I thought about him the whole time.

Isn't that special?

But what can I say?
I get distracted easily.

If attention deficit disorder
had been around when I was a kid -

I definitely would have had it.

It's notADD, Luke. It's a compulsion.
You have a compulsive disorder.

I do not.

If someone offers you dick, you can't say no.

Of course I can.

Do you feel that?

Oh, my!

Your steam room story...

Really turned me on.

Maybe it's time we finish what we started?

I'll lock the front door.

See? You can't say no!

All the world ever sees of our community
is people like you. It's really a shame.

Why are you always trying to change the world Zeke?

Because it's the only thing to do.

I'm going to lunch.

So you think maybe I'm a nympho?

I think you really like this Stephen guy.

But, you're petrified of love and do everything
and everyone to keep your distance.

Huh...

Hey, Luke.

Long John? Hey.

Hi Luke!

Tripod.

Luke.

Jackhammer! Hi.

Ok, well, welcome everybody.

Why don't we...

Why don 't we get started.

And we'll go around the room and introduce ourselves.

I'm Bob, and I'm a sexual compulsive.

Hi Bob!

Hello, my name is Nacho,
and I am a sexual compulsive.

Hi Nacho.

Hi, I'm Nicki and I'm a sexoholic.

Hi Nicki!

Hi, I'm Lair and I'm a sexual addict.

Hi Lair!

Hi, I'm Vlad, and I'm addicted to internet sex.

Hi Vlad.

Hi, I'm Sara.

Hi, I'm Brandi.

And we're co-dependant and sexually compulsive.

Yeah we fuck a lot!

Hi Sara and Brandi!

Hi, I'm Michael.
I'm a sexual compulsive.

Hi Michael!

Hi, I'm Luke and I love sex.

Hi Luke!

So each morning when I wake up next to a stranger,
I don't blame myself.

I just need to come here and stick with my plan.

Remembering that compulsion is not a choice.

Thank you. Someone else?

My name is Roger, I'm a sexual compulsive.

Hi Roger!

I've learned to accept... surrender.

Whether it be a donut or a bicep.

I realize that I'm powerless over both.

That's why I'm here.

Thank you.

Anyone else?

Hi, I'm Luke, and I just have to say I'm one of you.

I was out recently on the dunes of Fire lsland,
fooling around with this stud.

His ass was so hard,
I couldn't help myself from actually biting it.

So as I'm fucking him, all these guys start appearing
out of nowhere pulling out their fat meat.

I came all over this guys back,
so I wasn't really horny anymore.

But I knew if I didn't have a piece of everyone there
I would hate myself so much the next morning.

So I -

Like you all - accepted surrender.

I took to that hard hung herd
like a mosquito to blood. And had my...

Luke, Luke! Luke! You have to stop.

Because what you're doing is acting out.

And you're enticing others to act out as well,
and that's not what we're here for.

We're here to help each other, and support each other.
Not to pander to our vice.

Ok everyone, repeat after me:

Our disease is a cunning and baffling beast.

Always seeking out new ways, to trick us into submission.

Our disease is a cunning and baffling beast.

Always seeking out new ways, to trick us into submission.

Our disease is a cunning and baffling beast.

Always seeking out new ways, to trick us into submission...

It was crazy...

Iike they all got into a trance.

Our disease is a cunning and baffling beast.

Always seeking out new ways to trick us into submission.

And then -

They started flogging themselves with ropes.

They did not.

I swear!

They did not.

Well, they might have!
I was out of there before it came to that.

Met a cute guy though.

Got his number too.

Your hopeless.

But, I didn't call him. I decided to wait and see
how things were going with Stephen.

So, you see -

not hopeless.

Well, Luke. That reminds me.

What?.

I remember where I know Stephen from.

You went to college together.

At the New School?

He's getting his MFA in painting.

Callboy.com?

300 dollars. Out only.
Total top with a total package.

Abig dick and a college degree.

Remember how you said he fucked like a pro?

It's definitely him.

And his sloping cascade.

Nico?

Now you know why he doesn't cum.

With you.

Will make you feel like you 're the one and only.

He's got testimonials too.

You little gutter snipe!
I can't believe you printed this out for me.

Tough love, Luke.

You know what I did last night when he had...?

It's all making sense.

You know what I did last night instead of fuck a stranger?.

I went home.

Alone.

Thinking about... Nico.

And just what exactly are you doing on callboy.com?

I wrote a paper on queer culture
and online sex last semester.

For Sociology class.

No wonder your parents stopped paying your tuition.

Zeke... Do you have a roommate?

Just Jasper.

Who's Jasper?

My dog!

Right. Fabulous! I'm gonna need your help.

I just wanna feel special, Nico, and...

you sound like special people medicine.

Oh I bet you've got a lot of regulars, Nico.

Maybe if all goes well tonight,
I'll be a regular too.

Really?

Oh, dear me!

Now you're sure you don't need a passport
to come all the way to Queens?

Take the W train.

To thirtieth Avenue. I'm at 11 51 Vernon.
Apartment 1C. One second Nico.

What?.

Ask if he'll bottom for you.

Sorry about that,
my wife is all up in my shit, as they say.

Now one more little thing -

I'm really in the mood to do a little pummeling tonight.
Are you a strict top?

Double the price?

Well what's money to me?
I'm sure you're worth every penny!

Oh, you don't say!

Excuse me? Can I try these...

Shut up!

Alright, Nico.

Tonight. 7pm.

Ciao!

How may I help you?

What?. Not the climax you were expecting, Nico?

You tricked me?

You're the only trick I see.
And way overpriced.

Fuck you!

Yeah, fuck you!
I'm the one who's supposed to be angry here!

Well I guess you got me real good, huh?

Set me up for your Bette Davis moment.

You thought I'd cry and apologize?

This is me, Luke.
This is what I do for a living.

Why?

I need the money.

Oh, yeah, what about the trust fund?

You don't wanna hear it.

Oh, go on - tell me more lies!

I never lied to you!

Look - My parents blocked access to my trust. OK?

My family has money, but I haven't seen a penny
since they kicked me out when I was eighteen.

Let me guess. They found out you were gay,
and cut you off, right?.

No. I was molested by my uncle
from the age of thirteen.

When I finally told the school counselor
and the police got involved -

My parents refused to believe it.

They said I was a disgrace to the family name...

And didn't want to see me again.

I'm sorry.

I still love my parents.

But it's kind of hard to accept
that they've never been there for me.

So this is what I do to put myself through school.

It's not forever.

But if you're going to stand there in judgment,
like my parents -

Then I don't want anything to do with you either.

Don't' you turn this around on me!

I tried to be monogamous for you.

I never asked you to.

Look as two men, we're free to find our own way.

But we're not gonna find it if you play games with me.

I wouldn't have confronted you at all
if I didn't care about you.

A lot.

Really?

Yeah...

I would have just told all my friends
I'm fucking a rent boy for free.

So...

Are we still good?

Maybe...

Well, should we find out?.

Do I still get to pummel?

Are you still paying double?

Oh, yeah!

So you're going to date a prostitute?

I realized I can have my cake and eat it too.

And how did I eat my cake.

But he totally lied to you..

It was a misunderstanding.

But the best part was he finally came with me.

It shot right past my head onto the pillow.

Wait - whose pillow?

Oh, don't worry.
I found a sponge in your kitchen.

Ew! I slept there last night!

Hey, babe!

Hey!

So. Is this the accomplice?

You get off a three?

I do.

But I have a bridal shower to attend.

You wanna come?

Is this the thing where you need to dress like a woman?

Yes, and it will be lot's of fun!

Why don't you just come over after.

You can come to the party to, Zeke.
I've got wigs to spare.

No thanks. I'll be at home.

Washing my sheets.

I swear, Madeleine - men in New York they drive you to drink.

I have to say you look real good in that Burka.

You think I'll get any today?

Has a man in drag ever gotten laid? Ever?.

Luke, don't spill any of that, Ok?

My name is Conness du Cunt.

Everybody, look who just arrived.

Hey!

Marilyn, congratulations.

Oh, thanks Luke!
I hear your dating someone too.

Unbelievable, no?

Is he here?

No, he had to work.

He's a hustler.

It's perfect.

That's such a cop out.

Come Marilyn, lets go put that in the bedroom
with the other presents.

So, how are things going with the hustler?

I call him Stephen.

Oh, so it's serious then. Maybe love?

No. Absolutely not.

It's anything but serious.
It's not serious at all. Just fun.

For now.

Ah, the lady doth protest too much...

I'm not even sure there is such as thing as love.

What our society refers to as love -

seems to be all about power struggle and addiction.

People will do anything they can to get love.

And once they get it, they'll do anything to keep it.

Give me my love fix and I'll make your dinner,
wash your socks and give up my freedom.

Give me my love now!

Or I'm going to make you pay, you fucking pig.

And so on and so forth.

Hmm. Or love can be about
two people helping each other grow.

Yeah. And where does the love go
once your done growing?

After it all ends?

You know, the last guy I was serious about...

I knew there was one.

It was really intense, you know.

We really meant everything to each other.

He had my back.

And then it ended.

I ran into him last year,
and I go up to him. All excited.

All warm inside. Like I want to hug him all over.
Like he still meant so much to me.

And I run up to him and he says -

'What up, Luke? '

And that was it.

All those powerful moments.
All the "l love you's.'

And in the end, that,s all it's worth.

Afrigid "What up, Luke? '

Peter, how did you know that you were gay?

Uh, I just knew.

But... How did you know?

Um. You know, it feels natural,
like writing with my right hand.

But couldn't you learn to write with your left hand?

Well... Probably, but my penmanship would be shit,
and it would feel real awkward.

Hi Peter! I brought a cake.

From the Hamptons!

Thank you, Edie!

Congratulations, Marilyn.

Thanks!

So you never questioned your sexuality?

Um. No. Never.

Why not?

I'm just not into women.

Have you ever been with a woman?

No! I have not.

So how do you know you're not into them?

Marilyn -

you and I are friends, ok?

That's not what I meant.

Look at this -

Little black marks all over my floor.

There was this pervert who hid in the woods
behind my junior high school

and flashed some of the girls.

I used to wander in those woods everyday after school

hoping and praying that he would flash me.

It never happened.

But that's how I knew I was gay.

Derek, what's going on here?

Conness and I were just having a little heart to heart
and please, call me LaRonda

LaRonda, take off those pumps.
They're scuffing up my parquet.

Ok, you need to leave me alone and

who's LaRonda without her pumps?

She's the woman who's going to be on her knees
scrubbing the kitchen floor tomorrow.

You see why I prefer the life of a single gal?

Leave my man alone, slut!

Slut?. Am I a slut?

Are you a slut?.

I can't speak for my ass. It's public property

What's wrong with you people?

Don't you want somebody to wake up with?

Who you know will be there through sickness and in health?

Tiil death do you part?

God knows that's what I want.

You know it is quite a beautiful feeling.

Why are you all so in love with love?

I just want to be able to unhinge my jaw
like an anaconda.

Right?. I mean why I can't I enjoy sex for the sake of sex
without being labeled a slut?

It,s really not our fault, Conness.
I mean we're attractive and social,

so we meet a lot of people.

Precisely. And it's our duty to take advantage
of the opportunities presented us in life.

Sluttiness is life affirming.

Slut is a four letter word for YES.

I can 't believe you came over here wearing that.

Do you know, I have closet case clients
who would happily bash you in the street?

Did you know I was bashed once?
In the West Village. Unbelievable.

Were you in drag?

Are you suggesting it would be justified?

No, of course not.

Yes you are.

You're saying if I was some swaggering macho man
in baggy jeans I'd never be attacked.

Well, yes.

I mean, you're saying that I'm asking for it,
because I swish and wear heals.

You're never going to change the world by thinking like that.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Change the world?

Take off that wig. I can't even take you seriously.

Why should I take it off, Nico?

Give me a break Luke.

What, do you feel the same way as your clients?

Look, just chill out. You remind me of my sister.

Wait. You have a sister?

Get over here. You still got glitter everywhere.

Do not take it off. What am I doing if I'm not sparkling?

You don't need glitter to sparkle.

Yeah, well you don't need to be straight acting to be a man.

Touché.

That was a big mistake.

I thought it was fun.

Of course you did.

What is that supposed to mean?

The way you were all over everyone. All touchy feely.

Oh come one. I was just being a good hostess,
you know making everyone feel welcome.

By grinding on them?

I didn't grind on anybody. I probably overdid it a little
to make up for your uptightness.

I was just trying to make sure the party ran smoothly.

Oh yeah, by nagging and running around
telling everyone not to touch anything.

Look it was your idea to have the party here, not mine.

Maybe you should have taken a little more responsibility.

Don't used that cloth on the floor its for the kitchen.

Would you stop telling me what to do all the God damn time?

Don't yell at me.

I'm not yelling ok. Just relax. This party was for Marilyn -

And the important thing was that she had a good time.
And you know what? I think she did.

Yeah, I'm not so sure.
She was acting strange the whole time.

And you know she can't stand Luke.
God only knows why you invited him.

Peter, stop!

Come here.

What?.

We love each other right?.

Of course we do.

Good, that's all that matters. Let's not fight ok?

Hi, I'm Carol and I'm an alcoholic.

Hi Carol.

I'm also a sex and a love addict,
'cause l... I really want to find love.

I'm also in cocaine addicts anonymous,
'cause I love cocaine.

Have you seen Trisha recently?

No, but I hear she's been going to the
thirteenth street group down in the village.

And I'm also in overeater's anonymous.
Not because I overeat but -

It's all women. It's all loving.

Thank you Carol. Let's continue with day counts. Ryan.

I'm Ryan.

Hey Ryan.

I'm an alcoholic. I've got 58 days in the program.

(APPLAUSE)

Hi I'm Carlos, and I have a desire to stop drinking.
I had nine days on Thursday.

(APPLAUSE)

I'm Marilyn and I'm an alcoholic. And today is 246 days.

(APPLAUSE)

Commercial closet.org. They're the ones that get
positive portrayals in the mainstream media.

See if they can cover it. Great.

What's going on here Guttersnipe?

Your specialty. Dick inventory.

What's with the boa?

Shock value.

You can't shock anybody is Chelsea.

True, but you should have seen the sensation
it caused at my high school reunion in rural Oregon.

Speaking of high school, I'm not coming in tomorrow.

I'm on the GLBT panel at
Booker Washington High in the Bronx.

What's the panel about?.

Teen empowerment.

Did you know that gay teens are four times
as likely to commit suicide as straight teens?

Yeah, especially if they live in the Bronx.

It's not a joke Luke. It's an epidemiological trend.

Fancy word Zeke.

And it can be prevented with education and awareness.

Gay teens are often conditioned to believe
that they're not normal,

which leads to feelings of inadequacy, depression, suicide.

Teen is just a four letter word for inexperienced.

I prefer men that can teach me a little something.

Luke, why are such a egocentric self serving cunt?.

Don't you have any concern for other people?

Cunt. Why that's just another four letter word for...

Shut up!

I'm talking about a superlatively serious issue here,
and as always you make it into a smartass joke.

Gay kids are killing themselves.
Show some fucking compassion.

Why? You think I haven't been through it all?

You think I've forgotten that every day
of high school was torture?

That not a moment went by where I wasn't called
fag, fruit, fairy, tinckerbell?

Well guess what? I didn't kill myself.

I don't think you forgot.

I think you remembered it when you wore a
feather boa to your High School reunion.

And I think you remember it
each and every time you have cheap detached sex.

Right I embrace It all now.

No, your trying to prove to the world that you're a big fag.

Well guess what? You don't have to prove anything Luke.

Try just being you!

Don't you need a license to practice therapy?
Why am I always being analyzed by you?

Why are you so self destructive?

You're not only hurting yourself,
but your behavior is hurting all of us.

Who? Who else does it hurt?

Us. Gay men as a group. The community.

The community. You know what Zeke?

You're only a homosexual crusader because
your parents do not and will never accept you.

Accept that.

So Stephen...

Uh huh?

What do you like about me?

Your hairy chest. Your kisses. Your ass.

What about my inner qualities?

What about them?

Like do I have any?

Of course you do. Why?

I don't know.

No, it was just something Zeke said.

It made me think maybe I'm not such a swell guy.

Oh please, Zeke? He's an idiot.

Why do you say that?

Him and his crazy gay agenda.
That kid's a pain in the ass.

He really does care though.

Yeah, well I don't care for him.
He tried to break us up. Remember?

He's probably jealous because
you have somebody and he doesn't.

I bet he's in love with you.

No, he's not.

(CEL PHONE RlNGlNG)

Hey!

Yeah I'm available.

Alright. I can arrange that.

Ok you won't be disappointed.

Ok. Yeah, let me call you back in a few.

It's one of my regulars for tonight.
He wants me to bring a friend.

Don't look at me. I will never charge.

I wouldn't dream of it.
I never mix business with pleasure.

Kind of hard to believe in your line of work.

Let me make it perfectly clear to you
that when I'm working,

I'm able to remove intimacy from sex completely.
Like a switch.

I'd like to see you afterwards.

Won't you be all fucked out?

Fucked out yeah.
And ready to make love to you.

Define "make love.'

'Make love.'

When you're with one special person
and you're completely present.

You can close your eyes and there's nobody else.

Just the two of you.

All other sexual fantasies vanish.

Can you try that?

Who are you fantasizing about?

I love you Luke.

Stop trying to fix me.

What?.

I know I'm not perfect, but I'm pretty happy
with who I am. I'm a good guy.

Do you even know that?

Yeah, of course I do.

Let me be me, Peter.

Baby, what are you talking about?.

You don't even know do you?
You don't even realize what you're doing?

What?.

Listen, I prefer doing dishes using a brush -

I'm fine with you using the sponge even though its less sanitary.

But I won't have you tell me I have to do it as well.

It doesn't fucking matter, Peter!

Watch your potty mouth, dear.

Stop telling me what to do.

Oh man.

Why don't you just go ahead and say it?

Say what?.

That you don't love me anymore and that
it was a mistake to move in together.

That's not what I'm saying Peter.

But that's what you're thinking isn't it?.

That's not true.

There's no use denying it.
I can feel it.

You don't love me anymore.

The only reason you're still here is because you gave up

your apartment and you have no where else to go.

I have places to go.

Yeah, then why don't you?

Are you asking me to?

If you aren't happy with me, you shouldn't stay here.

You know what, you're unreasonable.

Wait, don't you dare leave while I'm trying to talk to you.

For the last time, stop telling me what to do.

Where are you going?

Out!

Trisha!

I really missed you.

Marilyn.

I haven't seen you in weeks.

And you didn't bother coming to my bridal shower.

Why haven't you called me back?

Haven't you found a new sponsor?.

I thought about what you said and I just feel
really confused about everything.

I need you.

Like you need a drink?

I feel very close to you. As a friend.

Marilyn, why are you here?

I want to keep you in my life. I...

Let me help you work through your feelings.

Feelings?

You don't have to disappear just because
you're in love with me.

In love with you?

Marilyn...

I just wanted to bump your donut.

Bump... donut?

I did not switch meetings because I'm in love with you.

I just disappeared because...

...you're a threat to my sobriety.

What?.

I can't be around people who have tendencies
to fall out of the program.

But you're my sponsor.

Not anymore.

♫ Nothing so wrong, nothing so right ?

♫ I say it's just a matter of perspective ?

♫ You try to move on ?

♫ But in a hard light ?

♫ Things are even worse than you suspected ?

Inhale...

Exhale, come back into Warrior One.

Inhale.

And exhale. Bring your hands to the floor
and your left foot comes back. Downward Facing Dog.

♫ Roll the bones away ?

♫ Help is on the way ?

♫ Roll the bones away ?

♫ Help is on the way ?

♫ Help is on the way ?

'Morning Zeke.

Stephen had to work all night,
so I went out and got even.

God I am so tired.

I think I'll take a nap behind the counter for
a couple hours if that's ok with...

you.

You must be Luke.

Who are you?

Dale.

I used to work here. I'm covering Zeke's shifts
until they find a replacement.

Where's Zeke?

I dunno. He quit.

He quit?

Yes. And no you cannot sleep behind the counter.

What are you doing here?

Didn't you get my messages?

I've been busy Tiinkerbelle.

Look Guttersnipe, I'm sorry about
what I said about your parents.

That was below the belt.

Oh. Thanks.

You don't mean you came all the way out here
to apologize did you?

Zeke, please come back to work. I miss you.

And that Dale person is scaring me.

Luke, I didn't quit because of you.

You didn't?.

Of course not. I got a better job.

You did?

Yes.

Doing what?

It's very exciting actually.

The administration at the school I spoke at
offered me a job as a student councilor.

They might even pay for me to finish my degree.

But, it's in the Bronx.

That is correct.

But, what about me?

This isn't about you Luke.

I'm doing something I believe in.
Be happy for me.

I'll miss you.

We can still be friends.
We just won't work together.

Will we hang out?.

Sure we will.

And for what it's worth,
I think you're normal.

I am not normal. I'm exceptional.

I mean inherently normal.

Normal enough to exist outside of the gay ghetto.

I tricked in Jersey once.

You know what?. I gotta go.

But wait! We have things to talk about.

Like what?.

Nico, for example. He told me he loves me.
What do I do?

Do you love him?

I think I might.
So, I should tell him then? Right?.

Is that what you're saying?

I don't know Luke.

I shouldn't tell him?

Do you really know this guy?

Do we ever really know anyone?

He told you he was getting his MFA in painting
from the New School, right?

Don't tell me the New School has no MFAprogram?

Oh, they have an MFA program.

In creative writing.

There you are.

Cheers!

To what?.

Us. Happy one month anniversary.

You've been counting days?

Yes. And I wanted to show you this gallery.

I've been thinking about buying it.

Sounds expensive.

Well, I've always wanted my own gallery.
I've been saving up.

And Christopher said he'd help put the money together.

Christopher?

Ciccone. Madonna's brother.

You know Madonna?

Well we've hung out a few times.
She's a sweetheart.

The thing is, Christopher used to be in love with me.

So, I'm hoping it won't be a problem.

Anyway, he says he really likes my work
and wants to help out.

Those paintings at your house...

Yes?

Are they even yours?

What did you say?

Did I stutter?

Well, what do you mean by that Luke?

Why don't you tell me Stephen?

What the fuck!
You don't think those are mine?

I spoke to Zeke. The New School has no
MFA program in painting.

Zeke's a fucking freak, ok?
Look I never said...

My degree is at the New School.
The MFAis in conjunction with Parsons.

You know, this isn't the first time you
fucking tried to trick me Luke.

You have a real problem.

This isn't the first time I caught you lying to me.

Did I ever say that I wasn't a hustler?.

So you take classes at Parsons?

My studio is at Parsons.

What's the address?

Oh fuck you Luke.

I just want to know where the Parson's studio is.

Fifth and thirteenth, ok?

Do you want me to take you there?

Yes.

You know, you are unbelievable.
I don't have to prove anything to you.

Happy Anniversary baby.

I gotta go.

Obviously we have some serious trust issues here.

Yes we do.

I believe in you Luke.
Will you believe in me?

I'll call you later.

? I want to give you my faggotty attention ?

? Baby, let me make you feel right ?

? With my faggotty attention ?

? Baby all I need is the night ?

Let the manhunt begin.

Loose a button, make a friend.

I don't think so.

Oh, homerun honey-lover.

Knick knack paddy whack, give this dog a bone.

An undiscovered species.

Impossible.

? I want to give you my faggotty attention ?

? Baby, let me make you feel right ?

? With my faggotty attention ?

My favorite flavor is yum yum butterscotch.

Hi, I'm conducting an informal survey.
Which is more important -

Length or girth?

There's only one answer.

Oh look. Fur.

I'm a mammal.

Oh que pasa Luke? What your heart not in it tonight?

Yeah, I'm not into it tonight.

Que lindo!

The scent of a man.

Hey Mace -

Wanna take off and maybe catch a movie at my place?

You're kidding.

Right?.

Actually no.

Luke, a libido is a terrible thing to waste.

It's Tuesday night.

Luke, what did you expect?

Mace and I have always been like this.

That's because you've always been on the same track.

Maybe you're moving in a different direction.

When are you going to settle down
with a man that deserves you?

What?. And give up all my boys?

Watch itAudrey. That's my line.

Did you sleep with someone else last night?

You know you don't need to ask that.

I know.

Hey boys!

I knew I could find you here.

I need some relationship advice from the perfect couple.

I've really been making an effort
with my rent boy, Nico.

That's nice.

I just don't believe a thing he says.

He tells me it's me.

Maybe it is.

Well, what is it that he's saying
that you don't believe?

Small things. Big things.

Everything.

He told me he used to hang out with Madonna
and date her brother.

Well, maybe it's true.

Yeah, and maybe not.

You just can't anyone fuck with you Luke.

Hey Marilyn. Great party the other night.

Are you fully recovered?

There's no use. She won't talk.

What do you mean?

She came in about an hour ago,
made a double vodka cranberry,

and has been sitting over there
starring at it ever since.

I can't get a hold of Bart.
I just, I don 't know what to do.

Let me take care of this.

Hey Marilyn.

If you're not going to shit
you need to get off the pot.

Some people are actually into that stuff.
Can you believe that?.

Isn't that sick?

I guess I could pee on someone if they really wanted me to.

Wouldn't necessarily turn me on.

Which I guess is a good thing, cause it's kinda hard
for a guy to pee if he's turned on. Know what I mean?

Hey this is good stuff.

I guess if you're going to drink again,
you ought to go for top shelf.

So do you want some?

Then you better give me a good reason.

I can't let go and let God.

Excuse me?

I need to be in control of everything.
And I feel like I'm loosing it.

I want to get married, I do.

But I'm scared.

And how do I know he's it?.

Or that any man is it?.

I might be a lesbian you know.
I kissed a girl.

Did you like it?.

It was soft.

So, you are a sexually confused,
obsessive compulsive, control freak.

And now you don't know what to do about what's his name.

This could call for a drink. I admit that.

But what I always ask myself in times like these -

Could I really give up dick for a pair of titties?

I think not.

Could you?

No.

I thought so.

And the second thing,
and this is really important so listen carefully;

Do I love him?

That's the question you need to ask yourself.
It's the one that matters.

Do you love him?

What's his name.

I do.

Good. Then go home and tell him so.

The rest will work itself out.

Thank you Luke.

Don't mention it.

Oh, hey Marilyn.

Thanks for the drink.

And thank you boys.

Now I know what I need to do.

Please forgive me Derek.

I'm just going to let you be you
from now on, I promise.

You're amazing.

I love you.

I love you more.

Hey.

I was just on my way out to get something to eat.

Not that I've had an appetite all day.

Hey listen...

I don't know why I'm so paranoid.

Stephen, I'm sorry.

If you're willing to let me,
I'd like to work on trusting you.

Let's work on it together, ok?

We have something really special.
Just don't freak out on me.

Agreed.

Luke?

What the fuck are you doing?

I'm going to work on the trust
after some minor verification.

Get out of there!

Canada?

Look I lived there briefly
after my parents kicked me out.

Stop giving me excuses!

They're not excuses, they're explanations.

Wait you said you were 18
when your parents kicked you out -

This license you got when you were 16.

Look, they didn't cut me off until I was 1 5 I moved to my
grandparents for a while and then...

You're not even a Leo.

My rising is in Leo.

Who are you?

Stephen.

Not Nico? Just plain Stephen?

Look. I've had a lot of shit happen
to me in life. Ok?

I have to be a lot of different things to a lot of different people.

And sometimes I get confused.

So you lie?

No!

Stephen, I don't know if anything
you've ever told me is true.

I don't care where you're from.
I don't care if you're a painter.

And I certainly don't care whether or not you're a Leo.

But I do care about honesty.

You're going to have to trust me, Luke.

Trust has to be built. You have a problem Stephen.

I don't have a problem.

You know, I knew the day I met you
that you were a typical gay cliché.

Things get a little rocky, and you run, huh?

So fucking typical!

Oh, I forgot to tell you,
I had Madonna on the phone,

She said her brother's never even heard of you.

Fucking typical! Do you hear me?

Try accepting who you are Stephen.

Whoever that is.

You're just like every other gay man out there.

Yeah? Well if putting honestly first makes me a gay cliché -

Then that's what I am.

I love you Luke.

I've never been able to say that to anybody.

Will you stop lying?

I don't lie.

Then love is just another four letter word.

For what?

Huh?

A four letter word for what?

I don't know.

I don't know.

? And after all that we've been through ?

? It's sad I'm still in love with you ?

? And in my heart I know it's true ?

? That I'm still in love with you ?

? That I'm still in love with you ?

At my friend Melinda's wedding,
you should have seen how that little girl squealed.

I guess what I'm getting at Bart,
is that flower girls can really ruin a ceremony.

And that niece of yours, has just got to stop eating.

I've never seen a three year old quite so big,
and she's only getting bigger.

Keep in mind that her dress has already been fitted.

I mean what is she just going to bust out at the seams
right there in the middle of the isle?

I refuse to be upstaged...

by the world's biggest toddler at my own wedding.

Oh!

Yes! Oh Bart. Baby. Yes!

Right there.

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh Bart.

The wedding is off!

I mean the ceremony is off.

The formalities, the production, the protocol.

Fuck it.

Let's elope.

You killed Bridezilla?

I did.

I finally did step 3 Bart.

Thank you Higher Power.

So how many teenagers have you saved from themselves?

I have a great rapport with my students.

I bet you do.

And what's going on with you young Luke?

Have you ever wanted to press Control/Alt/Delete
and start over?

Definitely.
Steven slash Nico?

Hopeless case.

I'm sorry.

How are you?

Normal.

No, it's all good. I had a nice time with Stephen.

And it's nice to know I'm capable of having
a relationship with someone.

It just has to be the right someone.

Or I could get a puppy.

So cute. What's his name?

Jasper.

Jasper. Such a pretty name for such a pretty dog.

He's the best. Aren't you babe?

I'm glad you called.

I actually missed you.

Really? What did the community have to say about that?.

The community is at peace with that.

I missed you too.

So what did you miss about me you little guttersnipe?

I don't know Tiinkerbelle.
Your 'joie de vivre.'

I guess I am pretty fun to be around.

And argue with.

What? Are we going to home and fuck now?

Let's just go for coffee.

Unless you wanna fuck behind that tree over there.

Oh, I was just going to say,
let's go fuck behind that tree over there.

Or we could get a gang bang with those guys.
What do you think?

Ehhh...

You go ask them, I'm intimidated.

YOU're intimidated?
