Five, six, shake it, dude.

- coffee?
Your calls.

Your advance copy of heat.
- hmm.

Did remson see it yet?

- fax just came.
He's over the moon.

- brian kinney is
"Back with a vengeance."

- this campaign is going to
Start a revolution.

The "No more bullshit" era
Of advertising.

- yeah, next thing you know,
There'll be soft-drink jingles

About rotting teeth
And hyperactive kids.

- what the fuck is that?

- oh, just a few thousand forms
For you to sign--

Insurance,
Pension and benefits, s.S.I.

- I can think of so many more
Interesting things

To do with my right hand.

- I'm sure you can,
But in the meantime,

I need to attend
To the business

Of setting up your
Business.

- [sighs]
- oh, uh...

[clears throat]

I also wanted to give you this.

- who's it from?

- actually, uh,
It's from me.

It's part of the program.
It's called making amends.

- how sweet.

A 12-step valentine.

I'm touched, theodore.

But, um...
Where's the check?

- that's about the response
I expected.

[phone line ringing]

- leave a message.
[beep]

- the point of having a cell
Phone is that you leave it on.

Where the fuck are you?

- you're a really good shot.

- I practiced a lot
When I was a kid.

Tin cans in the back yard.
Rabbits.

- you had a gun
When you were a kid?

- I had a six-shooter, partner,
Before I had a two-wheeler.

Where I grew up, everyone did.

- I wasn't even allowed
To have a cap pistol.

- try it.

- no, thanks.

- come on, don't be a sissy.

You're right-handed, right?

- yeah.
- okay.

So hold it with your right hand.

Now, line up your sight
With your right eye,

Then pull the trigger.

Nervous?

No. It's my gimp hand,

From when I was bashed.

It acts up sometimes.

- okay, then try this.

Left hand to your wrist
To steady it.

Arms out straight.
Spread your legs a bit,

For balance.

Now it's got a kick,
So don't resist.

Just ride it, like the hottest
Piece of ass you ever had.

- wow. That was intense.

- how the west was won.

But next time,
Try to hit the target.

- shit, it's harder
Than I thought.

- tell you my little secret.
See how it has no face?

Well, I give it one.

Someone who deserves a bullet
Between the eyes.

- like who?

- like wayne,
Captain of the football team.

He and his jock buddies
Held me down

While he carved "Faggot"
On my ass with a penknife.

Bang!

- or mr. Mackley,

Who made me show it
To the class--bang.

Or my father,

Who slapped me across the face
When I told him what they did.

Bang.

- sounds like you have
No shortage of targets.

- I bet you've got a few too.

Whoo-hoo!
Works every time.

So, who were you thinking of?

- "Suck your own dick,
Motherfucker."

This is definitely
Some pretty strong stuff.

- well, that's how justin
Wanted it.

He insisted it had to be
That way.

- here are your eggs, boys.

Whites only, tomatoes,
No bread.

Cheese omelet, sausages,

And a side of pancakes.

Jesus christ,
What the hell is that?

Upside down,
Looks like some guy's

Getting his dick stuffed
In his mouth.

- right side up too.

- well, gratuitous man-sex
Is one thing.

Personally, I don't mind it.
- we know.

- but gratuitous violence,
That's another story.

- actually, I don't consider it
Gratuitous.

In fact,
I'd argue that,

Disturbing as these images
May be,

They are
A legitimate expression

Of every gay man's
Outrage at--

At being victimized
And therefore can be justified

As a-a passionate
And uncompromising work of art.

- well, maybe so.

But he's still got his dick
Stuffed in his mouth.

Where the fuck have you been?

I was about to issue
A missing person's report.

- do you know how much work
It takes

Unpacking a new place?

- what, you forgot
To unpack your phone?

So when do I get to see it?

Sis, we haven't even gotten
The dish towels yet.

But as soon as it's
Presentable,

You'll be the first
Official guest.

- hah.

Do you hear that, boys?

I am the first official guest.

- did you mean what you said
About it being

An uncompromising work of art?

- absolutely. Every word.

And, um, I hope you'll be as
Honest with me about my book.

- ben...
- hey...

It's okay, it's okay. Um...
I only gave it to you

A few days ago--
I shouldn't have said anything.

- no, it's not that. It's--

It's just that I'm not finished
Reading it.

But as soon as I do...

- oh.

- even if I agreed
To relinquish the case

And let larry head up
The proceedings,

Jeanette and anna
Would never agree.

- oh, of course not.
They're not just your clients.

They're our friends.

- and they're depending on me.

They gave me their trust,
I gave them my promise.

There's no reason in the world

Why I shouldn't be
Representing them.

You don't have to convince me.

There's a bond, a sisterhood,

That some people simply can't
Understand.

- mainly men.
- men?

Did someone mention men?

- one in particular.

- my partner,
Larry jacobs.

- oh, those high-powered,
Aggressive,

Jewish lawyer types
Don't do it for me.

Uh, except for you, of course.

- you got everything, sweetie?

- uh, except for you guys.

- you're going to be just fine.

- I know, I know.

I'm a big boy.
Some say very big.

So there's no reason for me
Not to have my own place.

- once you fix it up,
You're going to love it.

- oh, it came already furnished,
Uh, ready to move in.

All I have to do is unpack.
- there you go, even better.

- gei gasundtheit, em.

- close enough.
Go in good health.

Mwah. Mwah.

- mwah.

- well...
This is it.

Say bye-bye to your auntie em,
Sweetie.

Ahh, alone at last.

- hey, aren't you forgetting
Someone?

And someone else on the way?

We're not going to be alone
For another 18 years. Huh.

- you went to a firing range?

- once he got the hang of it,
He was awesome.

- I thought you hated guns.

You even signed that petition
In high school.

- I still do.

You wouldn't believe
What it felt like.

- huh.

See that bullet hole right
Between the eyes?

He was thinking of someone
Before he fired it,

But he wouldn't tell me who.
- oh.

Bet it was chris hobbs.
- daphne.

- thought so.
- who's he?

- he's this high school jock
I jerked off once.

After that, he didn't like me
Very much.

- oh, I always suspected he was
Secretly in love with you.

- sounds like some of the
Assholes I went to school with.

They were probably afraid
Of being queer.

- yeah, whatever he was...

When he saw me at the prom,
Dancing with brian...

- which, for the record,
Was un-fucking real.

- he freaked.

Afterwards, he followed me

To the parking garage
With a baseball bat.

He smashed my skull.

I was in a coma,
Then, um, rehab

For almost six months.

- can you believe that creep
Practically went free?

Slap on the wrist,

A few months of community
Service at the aids hospice.

- I can believe it.

- last time I saw him,
He was there,

Mopping the floor.

He said I'd end up just
Like the others,

That I deserved to die.

- I hope you fucking
Beat the shit out of him.

- I was too afraid
To say anything,

So I just stood there
Like a fucking faggot.

- instant apartment--
Just, uh, add trick and stir.

So what do you think?
- it's great, em.

I'm very happy for you.
- mmm.

Oh, careful, brian,
You're dripping.

I don't want any stains
On the sofa.

- oh. Not yet, anyway.
[chuckles]

Uh, you know,
This place is, uh,

Vaguely reminiscent
Of somewhere I've--

My loft.

Did I fuck your decorator?

- brian, I asked you
To be careful. Here.

I hope they included
Some cleaner in the kitchen.

- you call this crappy knock-off
A barcelona chair?

It's more like a tijuana chair.

- whatever.

Oh, fuck. Dry.
- you want a bite?

- mm-mm.

- you can have
Some of my sandwich too.

- cut it out.

I told ben a lie...
A big fat lie.

- okay, who'd you fuck?

- no one.
- well, then make it quick.

- I finished his book
Three days ago...

But I told him
I'm still reading it.

- that's it?
That's the big fat--no.

A big fat lie is
"I won't come in your mouth."

Just don't come on the sofa.

- he wants me to be honest,

To tell him
What I really think.

- and what do you really think?

- it was kind of boring.

- kind of like him?
He's your partner, mikey.

You got to sit him down,
Take his hand, and tell him,

"Honey, it's a steaming piece
Of horseshit."

- could you say that to justin?
- yeah.

Fortunately,
The lad's a genius.

- you are so helpful.
- and you're pathetic.

If you can't be honest,

Then what kind of a relationship
Do you have?

Just a cheap...
- [mutters]

- imitation.

You want some?
It's good.

- larry, the court
Just sent us a--

- oh, uh, come in, mel.

- hi, guys. What are you--

Do we have a meeting scheduled?

- mel, jeanette, anna and I
Have been discussing the case.

- without me?
- mel, um--

- mel, we all know how
Conservative this new judge is.

- believe me, it has nothing
To do with you.

- we love you. You know that.

- it's just that...

We feel that--

- I'll spare you
The explanation and the tears.

I understand. Completely.

- mel...
[door shuts]

- ben, I finished your book,

And you made some really
Interesting choices.

[clears throat]

Ben, I finished your book,

And even though it's a little
Long in places,

I'm sure that with some editing,
Um...

It's a great read,

Especially if you're having
Trouble sleeping.

Ben, I finished your book...

And...
- you did?

- ben.
What are you doing here?

- uh, I was on my way
To the gym, uh,

So I figured I'd poke my head in
And say hello.

So you finished it?

- yeah.

And I--
I just want to say that...

[cell phone chimes]
Excuse me.

Hi, ma.
Sure, ma.

Okay, ma.

Bye, ma. That was ma.

- hmm, got it.
So you just want to say...

- oh. Hi.

Uh, that'll be $3.50.

Okay, one...

Two...

Okay, three...

41, 42, 43, 44, 45.

There you go.
Come back any time.

We can always use the change.
- yes.

- about the book?

- all I can say is...

Teddy!
- hey.

- oh, hope I'm not
Interrupting.

- not at all.

- good. Because, uh...

I've got something
For each of you.

You don't have to read it now.
- great.

- I'd love to.

Teddy, that is so thoughtful...

And so brave.

And of course we forgive you.

- ah, thank you, guys.

Well, I-I...

I've got a few more
Of those to deliver,

So I guess I'll, uh,
See you guys later?

- great.
- okay.

- okay.

- bye-bye.
- bye.

Now, then...

The book.

- right.

Ben...

I finished your book.

And, uh...

I loved it.

- what are you doing?

- lookee what I found.

Sunshine's new play toy.

- you had no business going
Through my things.

- just looking for a light.

- that's bullshit.
You were snooping.

Now give it back.

Careful.

- why?
Is it loaded?

- no. It's only meant
To scare people.

- for someone who's never seen
A western on principle,

You have an awfully keen
Interest in firearms.

- where'd you get it?
- cody gave it to me.

- how thoughtful.

What's next?
[dry fires pistol]

A small nuclear device?

- it's necessary
That we have them.

After what happened the other
Night, we could've been killed.

Play with this long enough,
And you will be.

- would you just hand it--
- you're not

Running around the streets
With a concealed weapon.

- I told you--
- "It's necessary."

So that you and cody can be
The gay avengers,

Heroes of the resistance.
Martyrs to the cause?

- we're trying to stop violence
Before it happens.

- [laughs]
By starting it?

- you know, you wouldn't think
It was so funny

If you were the one
Who'd been bashed.

- nobody said it's funny.

- they hate us.
They want us dead.

Now give me the goddamn gun.

[laughter]

- [gasps]
Just what I'm looking for.

- what you going to do
With all those candles?

- create an intimate environment

In which to entertain my,
Uh, guests.

- more like create
A fucking fire hazard.

- hey, how about this
For rodney and vic?

- is there someplace
They can put it?

- yeah.

I'm not sure it'll fit.
[laughs]

- I'm sorry I haven't been
More helpful

Finding them
A housewarming gift.

So far, everything I've picked
Out is for myself.

- oh, honey, you're trying to
Make your house a home.

- hmm.

Meanwhile, my home's become
A house.

- guess you miss him a lot, huh?

- don't you dare ever tell him.

I don't want him to feel bad
For leaving.

- my lips are sealed.

For that, anyway. Huh.

- it's just been a long time
Since I've lived alone.

I'd forgotten how lonely
It can get...

Especially when you're older.

You get used to having people
Around...

To fight with and laugh with

And bug the shit out of you.

And nobody bugged the shit out
Of me like vic.

Hey, em, how about this?
Look.

- you know, that would look
Perfect in your place,

But I'm not sure vic would
Appreciate it.

- oh.

Dish towels?
He said they needed some.

Look at this.
[snorts]

Perfect for a couple
Of old cocks!

[laughter]

- I've tried talking to her,
But she wouldn't listen.

Now she refuses
To leave the bedroom.

Well, eventually
They come out to feed,

But if I were you,
I'd lock up the livestock.

- brian!
- why the fuck did you call me?

I have no practical skills
Whatsoever

In talking lesbians
Out of trees.

But you do have
A remarkable ability

To put things into perspective,

See them in a purely objective,
Practical way.

- gonna lie there
Sharpening your claws

And feeling sorry for yourself,
Or are you going

To get your ass out of bed?

- jesus, brian,
You could at least knock.

- if I'd knocked, you'd have
Told me to fuck off.

- fuck off.
- too late.

Now, then...

Show me on the doll
Where the bad man touched you.

- you want to know where
He touched me?

Right here, in the gut.

You want to know why?

Because a lesbian couple
With a child

Just fired their lesbian lawyer
With a child

So some straight white male
Asshole can argue their case.

- makes sense to me.

- why am I not surprised?

- the courts
Have always been partial

To the voice of the straight
White male asshole.

- yeah, but this was my case.

- it's business, mel.

So suck it up and move on.

Was that objective and practical
Enough for you?

- can you believe this?

- actually, I agree with him.

As much as I understand
Why you're upset,

And believe me, I would be too,

I also understand jeanette
And anna's position.

They have to do whatever
They can to get--

- no, I don't want to hear it.
- mel.

- at least she's
Out of the bedroom.

- he almost took it away
From me.

- christ.

Well, next time
Be more careful.

- here...
You keep it.

- no, it's okay.
I--

I've got others.
- others?

- some people collect stamps,

Others collect injustices.

I collect these.

- what are we doing here?

- waiting for someone.

- a new posse member?
- not exactly.

Say...

Don't you know that guy?

- I want you to talk
To these guys

And make sure...

- how did you find him?

- looked him up
In the phone book.

Now you can tell him
What a piece of shit he is.

[audio slow and distorted]

Hobbs.
- don't!

- do I know you?

- no, but I believe
You know my friend.

- taylor?

What the fuck are you
Doing here?

You looking for a job?

Sorry, we don't have
Any openings...

At least not the kind
You like.

Faggots.

- [clicks tongue]

So what you reading, pal?

Catcher in the fuckin' rye.
Ever hear of it?

- [scoffs]
A variation thereof.

What do you think?

- I think holden caulfield's
A fag.

- mm-hm.
How do you figure that?

- "Catcher" is a bottom, right?

- [inhales thoughtfully]

I'm going to call the dean
Of carnegie-mellon tomorrow,

See if there's a position
In the lit department.

- ready.
- whoo!

Damn! Don't you look hot.

- you look hotter.

- and where are
You two hotties going?

- dining and dancing.
Mm.

Now, I want you in bed
By 11:00 sharp.

- and come give me a kiss, but
Careful, don't muss my hair.

- you two are freaks.
- hey, hey, hey.

Now that we're parents,

We're required to make
Parent remarks.

- so what's the big occasion?

Your golden anniversary?

- [chuckles]
I just finished my book,

And the most important critic
Gave it a rave review.

- I thought you said
It was a snooze.

- what?

- I never said that.

I said I fell asleep.

Well, uh, it was late.
I was tired.

- michael, I told you
You could be honest.

- I was honest.

Now, come on,
Let's get out of here.

And you just wait
Until I get home, young man.

That's another parent remark.

- hi.

- oh, I'm sorry. I, um--
I must have the wrong place.

Do you happen to know where
Vic grassi lives?

- debbie. Uh, come on in.

- lobster souffle,
S'il vous plait.

Sis.

- I, uh--
I just...

Came by to give this to you.

It's a housewarming present.

But I see that the house
Is warm already.

- well, as long as you're here,
Why don't you stay?

- uh, I'd love to but I can't.
I have other plans.

- no, sis, wait.

This is my sister,
Debbie.

All: oh, hi. Hi, debbie.

- there's plenty.

- I'm sure.
There always is.

But I don't attend parties
I'm not invited to.

- it doesn't matter.

- well, actually, it does,

Because you told me you weren't
Ready to have people over here,

And when you did,
I'd be the first.

- uh, this dinner
Is just an impromptu affair.

- oh, I'm sure.

Everybody just happens to have
A lobster souffle in the pantry

For when five, or...

Make that six,
Unexpected guests drop in.

I'll leave you
To your friends.

- sorry.
I didn't mean to shoot so far.

- you have remarkable aim.

- club soda always does
The trick.

- hmm.
A trick from a trick.

You leaving already?

- got to get back.
My roommate's waiting.

- oh, you have
A roommate, huh?

- every thursday night,

We make a big bowl of popcorn,

Curl up on the sofa
And watch friends.

- hmm, that's nice.

- we share everything--

Clothes,
Stories about who we fucked.

So you live alone?

- yeah, uh, first time.

Never could afford it till now.

- it's a great place.

But I think
Even when I can afford it,

I'll still want to live
With someone.

But that's me.
Uh...

I like the sound
Of someone else breathing.

Well, see ya.

- see ya.

[door shuts]

- granola?
- no, thank you.

- have you eaten anything?
Because I could fix you--

- I said no thank you!

- well, as long as you're back,
Safe and sound,

I guess I'll go to bed.
- yeah...

I can understand brian siding
With larry

And jeanette and anna.

I mean, it's no surprise.
But you...

I'm entitled to express
My opinion.

- no, you betrayed me.

- do you really think
I would ever betray you?

- [scoffs]

Where are the oreos?
- we're all out.

- fuck!
- I was simply trying to say

That I understand jeanette
And anna's position.

But as usual, you have
To make it about you.

- "As usual"?

- if this were about gus,
You know goddamn well

We would do whatever it takes
To get him back,

Even if it meant firing a friend
And hiring a straight man.

- not just a friend,
A lesbian mother

Defending another
Lesbian mother.

- this isn't about that.

It's about jeanette's son.

Like brian said,
It may not be right

And it may not be fair,
But it's how it is.

- I'm such
A fucking coward.

- you should never have gone

To see chris hobbs
In the first place.

Why are you digging up this shit
All over again?

- because it was never finished.

- it's still not.

You've got to go back there,
Face him.

- no fucking way!
- it's the only way.

We can pay him a little visit
Tomorrow night.

After work.

- * hey, hey, hey, come on

* hey, hey, hey, come on

* hey, hey, hey, come on

* hey, hey, hey, come on

* hey, hey, hey, come on

* hey, hey, hey, come on

* hey, hey, hey, come on

* hey, hey, hey, come on

[both grunting]

[cheers and applause]

- hey, what are you doing?

- thinking.

- in babylon?
That's a first.

- "Is it better to suffer
The slings and arrows

"Of outrageous fortune, or...

Take arms, and by opposing,
End them?"

- huh?
- shakespeare.

- an eye for an eye,
Or turn the other cheek?

Fight fire with fire,

Or do unto others
As you would have them...

You know the rest.

So...
Which is it?

- it depends
On the circumstances.

You're saying
There's no such thing

As absolute right or wrong,

That morality is merely
A matter of circumstance?

- what the fuck
Are we talking about?

- say somebody bashes you,
Nearly kills you.

Does that give you the right
To go out and do the same?

- of course not.
- why?

- 'cause two wrongs
Don't make a right.

- besides, there are laws.

- but what if the law failed
To protect you?

What if the law doesn't
Give a shit? Then what?

- then I guess
You'd have to take the law

Into your own hands.
- no, no, no.

Violence is never
A moral option.

- but doing nothing

And letting someone
Bash your brains in--it is.

[patrons cheering]

Thus, conscience does make
Cowards of us all.

- * hey, hey, hey, come on

- come on, babe. Let's dance.

*

So just for
My own curiosity,

You thought my book was slow?

Dull? Boring?
- what?

I never said that.

- just for my own curiosity.

- certain parts...

Felt a little long,
That's all.

- which parts?

- I can't remember.

- oh-ho-ho, try.

- it was just an overall
Feeling.

- overall plot?

Characters? Theme? What?

- I don't know.

- I guess sometimes
I didn't know

Where the story was going.
- uh-huh.

- and I wasn't quite sure
What the main character wanted.

- uh-huh.
- or how it was, uh,

All supposed to add up.

- maybe this isn't the time
Or place to talk about it.

- you're the one who
Brought it up.

In fact, I never should have
Asked you

To read it
In the first place.

- why do you say that?

- let's face it,
You don't exactly have

A literary background.

- excuse me if I didn't go

To harvard or yale.
- it's not your fault

That you're more justice league
Than ivy league.

*

[both grunting]

*

[cheers and applause]

- are you going in to work
Today?

- what for?
Mail come?

- I haven't checked yet.

- oh. Uh, hi.

I was just about to put this
Under your door.

- come on.

[door shuts]

- at least when wertshafter
Fired me,

I had the comfort of knowing

That he was a bigoted
Straight man

With an enlarged prostate.

But in your case, ugh...

To be dumped by two
Fellow lesbians.

The sense of betrayal
Must be crushing,

Staggering, all-consuming.

- thanks.
I feel so much better now.

- [chuckles]

Oh, here.
I wanted to give you this.

It's for you and linz.

I'm making my amends.

I've written them to everyone.

Everyone, that is, except
Emmett. I just...

Don't know what to say,

Except that I wish I could
Change everything.

- I'll give this to linz.

I know she'll be as proud of you
As I am.

- thanks, mel.

You know what's funny?
- hmm?

- when I was growing up,

My father had
The serenity prayer

Taped to the refrigerator.

He wasn't in a.A.
Never touched a drop.

He just liked it.

I saw it ten times a day.

Knew it by heart, of course.

Never meant anything.

Now...
[scoffs]

It's been my salvation.

"God grant me the serenity

"To accept the things
I cannot change...

"The courage to change
The things I can...

And the wisdom
To know the difference."

- excuse me a second.

The new layouts for parcheesy
Pizza are on your desk,

And leo brown is
Expecting your call.

Oh, and there's a young woman
Who says she knows you.

Needs to talk to you
Right away.

- why, daphne, what an
Unexpected surprise.

You look particularly
Enchanting today.

- mind if you hit on me later?

I have to talk to you.

- * just how long
Will these days take *

* waiting for an earthquake?

* seems one already ca-a-ame

- I thought you should know.
- thanks for the heads-up.

But there's not much
I can do.

- can't you talk to him?

- been there, tried that.

Hasn't done much good.

- what if he gets into a fight?

What if he gets hurt?

- then at least he'll know
He stood up...

And fought back--
That he didn't run away.

- * we build things pretty,
Dear *

* the old go down
In fla-a-ames *

*

- I want to go over a few
Of the points I'll be making

In my, uh, opening argument.
Now...

- excuse me, larry.
I don't mean to interrupt.

Jeanette, anna, I just
Stopped in to say that

I understand your decision,
That I don't take it personally,

And that I'm willing to offer
My assistance and support.

Considering the importance
Of this case,

It would be remiss of me
Not to.

- uh, mel?

We could use your assistance
And support.

[dramatic guitar music]

[knock on door]

- spend less time getting there

And more time being there.

The islands of the bahamas...

- hey, deb.
- em, honey.

- I hope you don't mind
My dropping by.

I saw your light was on.
- oh, no.

I'm glad you did.
Come on in.

- well, just for a minute.
- hi.

- so, uh, how'd vic like his
Housewarming gift?

- well, let's just say
He wasn't expecting it.

You want some ice cream?

- my god, it's like
A soda fountain in here.

- all that's missing is
The whipped cream.

- oh, wait.

- [laughs]

- so what are you doing
Wandering around

Instead of spending a nice,
Quiet evening at home

Fucking your brains out?

- there's only so much fucking
Your brains out one can do.

- you have a temperature,
Honey?

- you know, it's just nice to
Have someone to talk to,

That's all.
- yeah.

I know what you mean.

- in fact, walking over here,
I was thinking, uh,

About when michael and I
Shared the apartment.

You know what
The best times were?

Uh, just sitting on the sofa

After one of us had given
Some trick the boot,

Eating chips or ice cream,

Gabbing till all hours.

Sometimes we'd fall asleep with
Our heads in each other's laps.

- well, what good's an ice cream
Sundae without two spoons?

- hmmm.
Uh, what kind is that?

- mint chocolate chip.

- don't mind if I do.

What you watching?
- hmm.

The bad and the beautiful
Is about to start.

- oh, my god.

That's my all-time fave.

- wow!
All right.

[both chuckling]

So, how was your last trick?

- mmm, big dick.
Teeny brain.

- the best kind.

- coming up, channel seven
In pittsburgh

Is pleased to present
The bad and the beautiful,

Starring lana turner
And kirk douglas.

- I picked up some chicken.

Extra veggies, no potatoes.
You hungry?

- maybe later.

- you working on your book?

- re-reading the boring parts.

- I thought this was boring too,

And it's supposed to be
A classic.

Let's face it,
If I knew the difference

Between a great book
And a lousy one,

I would've gone to harvard
Or yale

Instead of going
To community college

For a couple of months.

- I heard from my publisher.
- you did?

- they had a few comments
Of their own.

- see, that's what you need,

A professional opinion
From people

Who know what they're
Talking about.

- they felt the main character's
Motivation was unclear,

That the story was
Overly complex

And convoluted,

And that, thematically,
It lacked force and focus.

So, in other words,
Exactly what you said.

So they passed.

- I'm sorry, ben.

- for what, being honest?

[car alarm chirps]

- christ. Taylor?

What are you doing here?

Stalking me?

Fucking creeps, get out of here
Or I'll call the police.

- not until he gets
What he came for.

- what's that?
You want to suck my cock?

- I want you to apologize.

- for what?
- for bashing me...

For causing me brain damage
And permanent injury,

For giving me nightmares
Every night for two years,

For filling me with fear
Every time I walk out the door,

For treating me like a subhuman
Who doesn't deserve to live.

- that's what you are, taylor.

Now, if you don't mind,
I'd like to kick back

And have a beer.

- tell him you're sorry.

- get out of my way, faggots.

- don't fuck with me!

- come on, man,
Just take it easy.

- get on your knees.

- what the fuck are you--
- do what he says!

- I said get on your knees!

- okay, okay.

- there.
You scared me, see?

Now put the gun away.

- first say, "I'm sorry."

Say it.

- I'm sorry.

- "For bashing you."

- [voice shaking]
For bashing you.

- "For causing you brain damage
And permanent injury."

- for causing you brain damage
And permanent injury.

- now suck on this.

- that's it. Fuck, yeah!

- go on, suck it.

- please...

- suck it!

- this is beautiful, man.

This is what you've been
Wanting to do

All this time.

- now you know
What it feels like--

The fear that all faggots feel
All their lives...

- [sobbing]

- walking down the street,
Holding hands...

Because of assholes like you!

And you know what?

We're tired of it.

- do it.

Do it!

What the fuck are you doing?
You can't stop now.

- get up.

Get up.

Go inside.

- you can't let him go.

- and I wouldn't call
The police.

You don't want to have
To tell them

A couple faggots made you
Shit your pants.

- you coward.
You fucking coward!

You let him get away.

You had him!

You could've had him,
But you were too chickenshit.

You're like
All the other faggots.

You're too afraid.

You're all cowards,
And they know it.

You could've ended it!

Faggot!

You are no different
Than the rest of them.

You deserve what you get.
[frustrated groan]

- [sighs]
- and you wanna know why?

Because you're all fucking
Pussies, that's why.

Until we show those hetero
Assholes that we have balls,

That we can pull the trigger,

Beat the shit out of them
The way that they do us,

They'll always think we're
Fucking pussies!

- * just how long will
These days take *

* waiting for an earthquake?
