JULIE: Ah, Stonewall.

Judy Garland died.

The cops raided the place.

Gays, trans people,
and drag queens

were in no mood to be
fucked with

and began to riot.

- And thanks to their sacrifice,

I am now free to be out,
proud,

and know at any given moment
where all the power bottoms are

within a five-mile radius.

- Could you imagine waiting till
Coming Out Day to come out,

even if you’ve known all year?

- I should really be true
to myself,

but I’ll wait till October.

[muffled club music]
BILLY: Whoa.

- Yeah, keep walking.

You wish you could have him.

- I hate Coming Out Day.

It’s hard enough for me to get
gay guys to notice me.

Now I have to deal with a whole
new graduating class.

- Is the top of that class
always a top?

- And the competition around
Coming Out Day is insane.

Everyone’s always looking
to trade up

for one of the new ones.

Gay guys are like iPhones.

- Yeah, you can’t take ’em
into the bathtub,

but you do because you’re bored.

- Oh, hey, whatever happened
with that

"Ladies Who Love to Laugh"
festival?

- They redacted me.
- What the fuck?

- I know.

I’m not a girls’ girl?

Fuck those cunts.

- Oh, Coming Out Day celebrant
at 12:00.

- I was so nervous.
Thanks for understanding.

- Oh, my God.

That kid just came out
to his father.

- I love you, Daddy.

[driving punk rock music]

- Different kind of daddy.

- Interesting.

I’ll be right back with your

Hey, guys, Nate said that
I can leave early

if one of you can take my shift.

- Guys? Really?

- No, no, no.
That’s not what I meant.

You know what I meant.

- Listen to me,
you entitled fucko,

with one comment
on Candis Cayne’e Instagram,

I can bring you down faster than
the second tower

on Dick Cheney’s command.

- Please don’t ruin my life
with a hashtag.

I was just saying I--

- Check your privilege, faggot.

And I can say that
because I was one.

BILLY: No, I just saying,

I have a party to go to in
Hoboken tonight,

and I know it’s going to be
a late night.

Here you go.

Coming Out Day customers never
turn over their tables

because of stupid
emotion-related loitering.

- God, is it Coming Out Day
already?

I can’t believe it’s been
a whole year

since I came out out
of the closet.

- I’m sorry.
- What?

- Oh, yeah; I came out one year
ago today.

Packed my bindle, slipped on
a pair of dungaree shorts,

told me wife Trish I was gay,

and hitched a ride
to New York City.

Concrete jungle,
where dreams are made of.

Sometimes I still think
of Trish.

- Wait, what kind of party’s
in Hoboken,

and why wasn’t I invited?

Oh, I think I know.

It starts with a "Tr"
and ends with an "Ans."

- Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, don’t tell me.

I love these word jumbles.

Um... oh, God, Tricia’s always
so much better at these.

Oh, trap cans.
True pans.

Um, Toratio Sans!

God, if Tricia was here,
she’d have got it like that.

She’s so smart.
I should call her.

Should I call her?
I can call her.

I can’t.
Ah!

There’s no rules
for this sort of thing.

Mm.

You know, I’m gonna call her.

- So what’s this party
in Hoboken?

- I’m going to the grand opening
of Kevin Smith’s Jorts Emporium.

He’s relaunching Bugle Boy
jeans with his own unique denim.

It’s all awful.
I have to go.

- Well, you’re gonna have to
find someone from the outside

to cover you,
because unlike 9/11,

this is not an inside job.

- Trish says it’s "trains."

- I’m waiting for you
to thank me

for the haircut
you’re about to get.

- Dear Mom, who art in heaven,

thank you for this free student
haircut I am about to receive.

- I had to pay for parking.

Oh, look, Julie.

Oh, honey, we’re the only
mother/daughter duo here.

It’s all girls and best friends
their age.

- Why can’t girls my age
like me?

I like animals.
I eat cupcakes.

In the right lighting I kind
of look like Amy Schumer.

- Julie, don’t appear desperate
to make friends.

You’ll attract sickos.

I’m working with this woman
who lost her daughter to a cult.

You know what you’re doing,
right?

[rock music]

- Well, you get what
you pay for.

- Now I’m gonna have to buy
a hat, God damn it.

I hate hats.

I always want to look
like Elaine Stritch,

but instead I look like
an orthodox Jew.

- And this perm makes me look
like Melanie Griffith

from the first hour
of "Working Girl."

"I got a head for business,

and a bod for Cinnabons."

- [sighs]

Wait a minute.

Grace Kelly
has a brunette sister.

Nice.

Even in crisis I maintain.

- Oh, shit.

Did I forget your birthday
again?

- Yes, last month,
but this is for work.

Wiffle bat,
did your hair expand?

- Yeah, I got a perm.

I know, I look like little
orphan "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Ooh, cake.

- Yeah, well, guess what.

They decided that I would
be the perfect person

to be put in charge
of birthday party--

oh, no; oh, okay.

Well, I can just get a new one
on the way in.

- Well, what’s done is done.

- I’ve been put in charge

of the office birthday parties
this month,

which means that I’m the new
PBS Joy Boy.

- Oh, my God.
Congratulations.

This is a lot of stuff.
- I know.

I was surprised when I saw
the party budget.

PBS takes celebrations
seriously.

And if this party goes well,

it might just be my chance

to sit at the Selfridge table
for once.

- What’s the Selfridge table?

- The cool kids at work,

they all work on
"Mr. Selfridge."

- Oh, right, the show that asks
the pressing question

"What if Jeremy Piven worked in
a department store in 1910?"

- So far the answer is
"not much,"

but if I am superlative Joy Boy,

then I might just get a selfie
with the Selfries.

- Right.

Well, can you please
walk the dogs?

I have to put my face on
and change.

- It’s after 7:00 p. m.

By this time you’re usually
in your eating shirt,

winding down.

- I know, but Billy and I are
going to that Kevin Smith

party in Hoboken, remember?

- Ah, you really will go out
of your way

to do something ironically.

- What can I say?

I really hate Kevin Smith.

BILLY: Well, we’re on the right
block of the party,

but we’re three hours early.

- Well, how the hell are we
supposed to know

that the PATH train took
ten minutes?

- Well, we’d know if we ever
looked at the Hudson,

but that would just trigger
memories

of Sully Sullenberger’s wife

saying they like to have
hero sex.

- Look at this place, though.

It’s like a foreign country.

- I know.
Industrial tubing.

Olives in bulk.

Helium tanks?
Only in New Jersey.

- Only in New Jersey!
- Hey, fuhgettaboutit!

- Whatsamatta you!
- Oh, hey!

- [sniffs]
Marinara.

[jazzy music]

- Wow, we’ve been in Hoboken,
what, ten minutes?

We’ve already seen, like,
25 pictures of Frank Sinatra.

- I feel like at least 15
were Ronan Farrow.

- Hey, lady, try this
soppressata.

- Hey, I’m no lady.

But I never say no to free meat
in my mouth.

- [laughs]

- Atta girl.
- Meat in your mouth.

That was good.
- [gags]

"Get this meat out of my mouth."

And other things John Travolta’s
never said.

[laughter]

- Wow, your "meat in your mouth"
material is really killing here.

Not since gays with a GED
discovered Whitney Cummings.

- You’re a riot.

- Yeah, you say what we want
to think.

- Oh, thanks.

You’re so nice,

’cause usually I feel like
other girls don’t get me.

- Fuck those cunts.
- Yeah.

- That’s what I say.

I’m Julie.
This is my friend Billy.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I’m Joni.
This is Rizzo.

And Therese.
What are you guys up to?

- Oh, we’re just killing time
before a bad party.

- Yeah, well, come to a gay bar
down the street.

We’re meeting my fag brother.

- She can say it because he is.

- Wow, a gay bar in Jersey
on Coming Out Day?

Finally a world Anthony Bourdain
hasn’t explored.

- To our knowledge.

[club music]

- Well, there you have it.

New York or New Jersey,
I am invisible in gay bars.

- Hey, "Grease Live,"
pay attention to my friend.

- Could we get the Coming Out
Day drink special, I guess?

- The two-for-one is only for
people who just came out.

Did you just come out?
- Me?

Yeah, I just came out today.

- Hey, welcome to the tribe.

This round’s on me.

- Thank you.

Holy shit, did you see that?

- Yeah, I didn’t know Diesel
still made that wash of denim.

- No, Julie,
don’t you understand?

Nobody knows us here.

I could pretend
that I just came out,

and then guys who are
way out of my league

would start paying
attention to me.

- So what are you waiting for?

- Um, everyone.

Uh, sorry to bother you,

I just wanted to make
an announcement.

[gruff voice]
Um, my name’s Billy,

and...

I just came out of the closet.

[cheers and applause]

Oh, and, um, furthermore,

this is my wife.

And...

I’m gonna leave her.

- But I’m okay with it!

[cheers and applause]

- Oh, your friend is so brave.

- I think my brother Joey
likes your friend.

- That’s your brother?
- Yeah.

- Hey.

- So by now I have no idea
what’s going on.

There’s cocaine everywhere,

his dick’s in the cookie dough,

I don’t know where my mother is,

so I say to the dogs,

the joke’s on you:

I don’t have an asshole.

[laughter]

Ow!

- Julie, you are a character.

Nobody’s funnier than
Italian girls.

- Nobody is funnier than
Italian girls.

Like me.

- Hey, Billy.

This round’s on me.
Come on.

- No, no, no, no, no.

This one’s on me.

ALL: Awww.

BOTH: We love New Jersey!

- Is it just me,

or did we have a great time

in New Jersey last night?

I’m on the phone.
JULIE: I know.

Girls who don’t work at Sephora
were talking to me.

- All I had to do last night

was show up straight
and leave gay.

And a guy who would have
ignored me asked me out.

I’ve never been with a guy
that hot.

Should we go back tonight?

- Yeah, I want to go back
tonight.

I’ll see you later.

BILLY: Great, bye.

- Noodles.

If I liked music, right about
now I’d be singing the blues.

- Oh, did the Selfridge boys

not appreciate the party
you threw?

- They barely noticed.

And I spared no expense.

Isabel was so moved she cried
real tears,

which she hasn’t been able to do
since the Challenger exploded.

- Well, it sounds like it
went okay.

- Yeah, but the birthday budget
I thought was for Isabel’s party

turned out to be
for the entire year.

- Oh, babe, fuhgettaboutit.

- I cannot forget about it.

I have no money to spend,

I’m still not popular,

and tomorrow is Gabby’s
birthday.

What am I supposed to do?

- Aw, babe--
[clank]

What the fuck is this?

- Lenny asked if we could store
the helium tank

for this kid’s party tomorrow.

- Who’s Lenny?

- It’s our neighbor across
the hall.

He hate him; you hate his kid.

- Oh, right; that kid that talks

to the dogs when
I’m walking them,

and the dad that just
stands there

because he assumes
because I like dogs

I also think kids are cute.

Fuckin’ assholes.

- Anyway, his kid’s having
a birthday party.

If you need me, I’ll be here
in my misery chair.

- Wait a minute,
those girls last night

were talking about this.

When your man’s upset,
you make him a plate,

and you can’t do that, you...

Oh, shit, what’s that called?

You help him.

So, Lenny, what do you think?

- I guess there’s more room
in your office conference room

for a birthday party,

but it’s Newton’s decision.

- Where’s your dogs?

- The dogs are sleeping next
to the helium tank

that your daddy rented.

Was that from Hoboken,
by the way?

Because we passed a place.

- It is, yeah.
JULIE: Okay, cool.

- Can I get a batting cage?

- We’ll see what we can do with
Jim Lehrer’s cubicle.

- And we can bring the clown
that I paid for?

- Of course.
- Yes.

- Yes?
[gasps]

BOTH: Hey!

- All right,
we’ll see you tomorrow.

- All right, great, can’t wait!

Thank you!
Thanks, Lenny.

Thanks, Newton.

God, I still hate that
fuckin’ kid.

So listen, this is great.

You don’t need to worry about
the cost of party decorations

or cake or anything else.

- Aww.

You’re helping me.

- Please don’t ruin a moment

by acknowledging it.

- But how do we explain this
to Gabby?

- Well, Gabby seems like one
of those women

that likes children,

at least that’s how she dresses.

Just tell her it’s like
a puppy party but with kids.

- What’s a puppy party?

- It’s when you pay for somebody
to bring over cute things

for you to play with,
but you don’t fuck ’em.

- Oh.

[disco music]

- Hey, Billy, thanks for coming
back to Jersey.

So tell me about yourself.

- Well, uh, you know I’ve been
straight for 35 years,

so I do straight guy things.

I mow the lawn.

I have a man cave.

I really like that song
"Hotel California."

- Wow.

You must be completely oblivious
about the gay culture.

I mean, you do realize that

gay men have way more in common

than just wanting to have sex
with each other, right?

- Do we?
- Absolutely.

This is an amazing opportunity
for me to take you

through Gay 101.

- Is it?
- Oh, yeah.

Buckle up for an extremely
detailed tour

of LGBLT history,

from the ancient Greeks
all the way to "Scream Queens."

- Yeah, uh, Joey, please.

I don’t know if we--

- That’s better.

- Yeah, I was gonna say,

"Please tell me about
the heritage

our queer brothers and sisters."

- Look at these.

These are pride rings.

Really cool gay guys wear those.

- Yeah, they definitely look
really cool.

- You can pretty much wear
anything rainbow.

Oh, and Madonna:
we’re not into her anymore.

It’s all about Demi Lovato.

- Hey, Joey.

Hey, I really appreciate
this guided tour

through my new life
as a homosexual,

but can’t we just go back
to your place?

- Not before I give you
this book.

Not many people know this about
Stonewall.

The riots happened right after
Princess Diana died,

so the gays were in no mood--

Billy.

Let me be honest.

I am super attracted to you.

I mean, this morning I was
jerking off in the shower

thinking about you being
straight so recently,

quoting "The Big Lebowski"
and wearing cargo shorts.

- You know what was in the
pockets of those cargo shorts?

Pizza flavored Combos.

- Oh, shit.

Listen, when we hook up,

it’s gonna be your first time
with a man,

so I want to take it slow.

- Or not so slow.

- Do you know anything about
Judy Garland and her daughters?

- I know she really fucking hot
in "The Wizard of Oz."

When she was lying there
at the end,

I was like,
"I’ll get in that bed."

I don’t know about
her daughters, though.

Where they hot too?

- Ah, never mind.

You’ve gotta be really gay
for that stuff.

- I’ll fuck Auntie Em too.

[upbeat music]

JULIE: The first time I realized
how different I felt

was when Rizzo had
a purse party.

[indistinct chatter]

- I dated Angelo’s son.

Are you forgetting?
Angelo, Jr.?

So that lunatic Paul,
you know what he said to me?

- What did he say?

- He told me if he got me alone,

he’d bang my bus so hard,

I’d forget the recipe to my
grandmother’s gravy.

- He what?

- I said, "Paul,
shut your fucking mouth

"or I’ll kick you in the balls

until you forget your
confirmation name."

[laughter]

- Ugh, I would have given him
the Italian Piñata.

[all gasp]

JULIE: They had bad skin
and too much makeup.

I mean, they didn’t look
very good.

The designer purses were
obviously stolen knockoffs,

and all they talked about
were how guys hit on them

and how they’d kill anyone
who ever crossed them.

I loved every minute of it.

- How much for the orange?

Because it’s really
catching my eye.

- Where did you guys get
these purses?

- Oh, they fell off a truck.

- You should take one
for your mom.

Oh, Giuliana, look at you.

You fluffed your hair,

you borrowed my blouse.

You don’t look like a boy
anymore.

- Hey, Giuliana,
tell us a funny story.

We love to laugh.

- Uh, I could tell you
a funny story

about my food and weight issues.

I mean, where’s my fucking head?

My Jewish neighbor’s
food and weight issues.

[laughter]

- This ought to be good.

- Those fucking Jews!

[laughter]

- So one time I saw her--

I mean, him--

pour a whole thing of Windex

into a box of Krave cereal

just so he could stop eating it.

[laughter]

- You’re killing me!

- Tell us more stories about
your dumb Jewish neighbor!

- You know what, can you just--

why don’t you do it in the car,

on the way to
the Short Hills mall?

- We got to stop at the
Cheesecake factory first,

make sure we have enough dairy
inside of us

for shopping energy.

- I have found my corner
of the sky.

- [sniffles]

And I feel like it’s my fault

my daughter joined that cult
to begin with.

- Well, that’s just idiotic.

- Dr. Kessler!

- Oh, I’m sorry.

I just caught my reflection,
and this beret is stupid.

Anyway, go ahead.

- They’re gonna give her
the Italian piñata.

- Send my regard
to Lorraine Bracco

and her affordable wines.

- Come on, Lenny.

You’re going there anyway.

Just give us a ride home
in the van.

- I don’t want Newtown caught up

BILLY: Good-bye, New Jersey.

Thanks for giving me a boyfriend

that’s out of my league

and balls as blue
as Bruce Springsteen’s denim.

- Good-bye, New Jersey.

Thanks for letting me feel like
a girls’ girl,

just for a minute.

And for your cannolis.

- Oh, Ottoman, don’t cry.

- And the confectioner’s sugar!
