Myself of all my holdings, if I Gave away every penny I've got?

>> fallon: that's true.

Fact is, it reads a lot like the Bible.

You brought nothing into this World, and it is certain you can

Carry nothing out.

>> andrew: fallon...Would you Leave us, please?

>> fallon: is that a hint, andy?

Are you trying to get me to Leave?

World war iii.

Steven, I've heard this garbage From people I almost respect.

Do you really suppose I'm gonna Take it fromyou?

>> steven: no.

Maybe you just don't have an Answer.

>> blake: and what'syour Answer?

To sit in this house, surrounded By things that you have not

Earned with hands as soft as a Baby's bottom, talking about

Building windmills and Converting corn flakes into

Gasohol?

Why, the most work you've ever Done in your life is to sign

Your name to a credit-card Charge!

>> steven: okay, I may not work, But at least I don't steal, and

I don't rob from the people of This country by artificially

Pushing up the price of Gasoline!

Proven by anybody!

The justice department says it's Not true!

The department of energy says It's not true!

But my son still believes it!

>> steven: yes, I do!

>> blake: well, how the hell can Anybody respect the opinion of a

Man who'd put his hands on Another man?!

I didn't mean for it to come out That way.

I didn't mean for it to come out At all.

I'd hoped that you would come Home and go to work and that

Everything would just...Go away.

>> steven: how did you find out?

Did you use detectives?

>> blake: I -- I just found out, That's all.

>> steven: you know, I wanted to Tell you myself.

I-I mean, in my own way.

Dad, look at me.

>> blake: steven...

You know, I'm about as freudian

As you could hope for in A capitalist exploiter of the

Working classes.

And...When I'm not busy grinding The faces of the poor, I -- I

Even read a little.

I understand about sublimation.

I -- I understand how you could Try to hide sexual dysfunction

Behind hostility toward a Father.

I, uh I even prepared to Say that I could find...

A little homosexual Experimentation...Acceptable...

Just as long as you didn't bring It home with you.

It's just...

Don't you see, son?

I'm offering you a chance to Straighten yourself out.

>> steven: straighten myself Out?

I'm not sure I know what that

Means.

I'm not sure I could if I wanted To...

And I'm not sure I want to.

>> blake: Of course. I forgot.

The american psychiatric Association has decided that

It's no longer a disease.

That's too bad.

I could have endowed a Foundation -- the

Steven carrington institute for The treatment and study of

Faggotry!

Well, if you'll excuse me, I've Got to go get married.
