TRANSCRIPT:
==========================
[Brian's office. Two other guys
-- looking remarkably similar in identical dark suits,
short haircuts, and glasses -- are showing Brian their
ideas for the Shullman Shoe campaign.]
Bob: Brian!
Brian: OK, boys, you've got 15 minutes. What do you got
for me?
Brad: The Shullman Shoe Layouts.
Bob: You're goin' to love it.
Brian: I'll be judge of that.
[Another young man with a coffee cup comes in]
Kip: Sorry.
Brian: You're looking for someone?
Kip: Yeah, the Shullman Shoe Meeting. Mr.Ryder said I
should set in, learn a thing or two he said.
Brad: Well, Brian is the best.
Bob: The best.
Brian: [to Bob] Thanks, Brad.
Bob: I'm Bob.
Brad: I'm Brad.
Kip: I'm Kip Thomas. I just starting here.
Brian: Well, sit your ass down, Kip Thomas. The boys are
put on the show. So, how we make those fucking ugly shoe
exciting?
Brad: The same way we make those fucking ugly raincoats
exciting last May.
Bob: Models. By taking your eye off this shoe...
Brad: ...and putting on this face.
Brian: But the trouble is we're not selling this face.
We're selling this hideus shoe! [to Kip] What do you
think?
Kip: I... I like it but it's...try again. Only...
Brad and Bob: Only?
Kip: Why try and hide what the product is?
Brian: Go on.
Kip: I'd just photograph the shoe. With maybe a thought
bubble, saying something like, 'I'm not hip. I'm a
classic.'
Brad: Brian, would we continue please?
Brian: No, do we not. 'I'm not hip. I'm a classic.' You
givin' it a personality with humor and you tained it with
so called dignity. How long have you been here?
Kip: Uh, two months.
Brian: Their working here for two years. Draw it up.
Kip: Me?
Bob: Him?
Brad: Him?
Brian: [to Kip] Him. The boys will help you out. Won't
you, boys?
[The Happiest Funnest House Ever
Built. Lindsay and Melanie are hosting a baby shower for
another lesbian couple, Franny and Zoe.]
Zoe: I have to say that a year ago I don't think any of
us would adream that we sitting here pregnant. I mean
it's really happened.
Franny: Thanks to two true trail-blazing pioneers,
Melanie and Lindsay.
Zoe: Now your role models. For us all.
[Everyone claps in appreciation.]
Mel: [whispers to Linds] I wish their all leave.
Lindsay: Shh. Their could hear you.
Mel: I don't care if they do. Why we go through this?
Lindsay: We're be planned this for months. We can't
disappointed Zoe and Franny. How do you think they'd
feel?
Mel: How do you think I feel? Like a liar and a fool.
Lindsay: Can we talk about this later?
Mel: Sure honey, like everything else. I'm going to go
spike the punch.
[At the punch table, Melanie gets a glass and then leans
on the table next to some other woman.]
Mel: Franny's so cute and tiny. Christ, I hate cute and
tiny. Oh, God. You're probably best friends.
Marianne: Since high school.
Mel: Oh, fuck.
Marianne: I'll drink to that. Don't worry about it. I
hate cute and tiny, too.
[Meanwhile, in the living room, Franny and Zoe have just
gotten a tiny leather jacket for the baby.]
Marianne: Christ, I just about kill for a cigarette right
about now. All this baby stuff is just making me crazy!
Mel: Why? Because you have one?
Marianne: Because I don't want one. Don't get me wrong, I
like kids. Other peoples kids. About ten minutes. I'm
more of a career dyke, myself.
[In the living room, Lindsay sits down next to the happy
couple.]
Mel: I used to say the same thing. That was until we had
our son. I'm Melanie Marcus.
Marianne: Yeah, I know -- the role model. I'm Marianne
McDonald. Definitely not a role model.
Mel: Well, good for you.
Marianne: Although I suppose you could say I am PC...if
'PC' stands for 'performs cunnilingus.'
Mel: Oh god, you're a whiked.
Marianne: Thank you. So you wanne sneak outside for a
smoke with me?
[Babylon! At the bar.]
Brian: P-Town party is coming up, boys. I'll make the
reservations as usual. For the three of us.
Michael: Three of us?
Brian: Yeah, me and Emmett and Ted.
Michael: And what about me?
Brian: You can't go.
Michael: Why not?
Ted: You're in a relationship. Or have you forgotten?
Brian: No more fun for you.
Michael: David said I could go as long as I behave
myself.
Brian: Then, what's the point of goin'?
Ted: That just means more guys for me and Em, right, Em?
Emmett: Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Ted: What's the matter with you?
Brian: He's got razor burn on his balls.
Emmett: I'm fine. I'm fine.
Brian: Well, then get your ass on the dance floor.
Ted: You're coming? Or we have to carry you?
Emmett: I just... I just wanna finished my drink.
[When The Boys are gone, Emmett pulls out his cell phone
and calls Matt]
Emmett: Hi, it's Emmett. Help!
[At another club on Liberty
Avenue. Emmett -- gesticulating wildy.]
Emmett: Their making plans to go to P-Town. And now I
really want to go. All those men. All those drugs.
[Matt pulls his hands down]
Emmett: Sorry. And that's not the worst of it. Yeah, I
almost sold the watch that my grandfather gave me on my
death bed to buy a ticket for Barbra's absolutely final,
farewell, I swear to God this is it, concert. I mean, I
can barely survive on my own. And I'm going to fill Mrs.
Brolin's coffer? That's sick. I'm sick.
Matt: But there is a cure. That's why you came to 'See
the Light.' Believe me, I know how you feel. I've been
there. Look at this. What do you see?
[Matt hands Emmett a picture of a drag queen]
Emmett: Big mature drag queen or your mother.
Matt: That was me.
Emmett: No! C'mon. But you're so --
Matt: Straight? Thank you. I keep this photo as a
reminder of my former life. But even then, I knew that
underneath those wigs, and all those fabulous gowns,
there was a conservative Republican computer analyst
dying to be freed. That's what 'See the Light' did for
me. And they can do this the same for you, if your
serious.
Emmett: I am, I am serious. I swear to God.
Matt: Good, but don't fool yourself. That won't be easy.
At some point you may be extricate yourself from certain
corrupt influences.
Emmett: You mean my friends?
Matt: Are they really your friends if they lead you into
temptation?
Emmett: Well, I never do it deliberately.
Matt: Emmett, if you See the Light, you musn't allow
anyone or anything to divert you from the path.
Emmett: Thank you Matt for your support.
Matt: Hey, that's why I'm here. To make sure you don't
slip.
[Brian's office. Kip comes in.]
Kip: Brian?
Brian: So, are you CEO of the company yet?
Kip: Not for another week or two. So, Mr.Ryder told me
you really gonna used me ideas for the shoe ads.
Brian: I steal anything good and put my name on it.
Kip: That's great. Although Bob and Brad aren't too happy
about it.
Brian: Well, people with no talent usually are when
someone with real talent come in town comes along.
Kip: Yeah, well, you're pretty talented yourself. In
fact, you have a reputation.
Brian: I do?
Kip: For being the best accountant ad exec in the
company.
Brian: Yeah, that to.
Kip: And that's why I ask if I can work with you?
Brian: I thoughed Ryder has send you.
Kip: Yeah,uh... I... lied.
Brian: Come here for a second. This is a new compaign
we're starting for Liberty Air. I want you on the team.
Kip: Oh my god, that's... that's fantastic. Wow. How can
I ever thank you?
Brian: Doin' a good job.
Kip: You can count on it.
[Instead of walking out the door, he closes it, turns
back to Brian]
Kip: I just want you to know that you can count on me for
anything. Day or night.
Brian: Well, you really are going for the gold watch.
Kip: I mean it, because I think that you are really,
really amazing.
[He's about to unbuckle Brian's pants and lean in for a
kiss, when Brian stops him.]
Brian: What are you doin'?
Kip: Shit. I'm sorry. Um, I didn't mean to. Look, I don't
know what I was thinking.
Brian: Yeah, well, whatever it was you thought wrong.
Because I'm the one who makes the first move.
[And with that, he rips open Kip's shirt, sweeps all the
papers off his desk and throws a surprised Kip onto it.
Brian then pulls a condom out from somewhere, throws it
in the air, catches it in his mouth, and rips it open
with his teeth. The camera starts shooting from
underneath the glass, so you can see Kips thighs and butt
pressed up against it. So, Kip's all panting, and Brian's
all pumping and sweating, and Kip finally comes.]
[Cut to
Mike in the passenger seat of Brian's Jeep, eyes wide as
he exclaims]
Michael: You fucked him in your office?
Brian: He was the best thing to come across my desk in a
long time.
Michael: You're unbelievable.
Brian: Yeah, that's what he said.
Michael: I didn't mean it like that.
Brian: Don't tell me, no one's ever had a Big O at the
Big Q?
Michael: I wouldn't know.
Brian: Well, I would and first hand. And I mean first
hand experiences.
Michael: Are you sayin...?
Brian: Remember last Christmas when I came to pick you up
and you sending me up for Santa's workshop?
Michael: Not Santa! Don't tell me you fucked Santa?
Brian: Not even I would do that. [Pause] I'm not into
fat. It was his elf.
Michael: You didn't!
Brian: What he lacked in feet, he made up for in inches.
Michael: I don't want to know. But you better be careful.
I mean doin' it in your office -- that may be a little
high-risk, even for you.
Brian: But he ask for. He want one for me. I gave him a
great opportunity, and a great fuck. He has no
complaints.
[The House so Happy that Disney
Should Sue. Melanie's in the living room working as
Lindsay walks in, cheerfully talking to Franny on the
phone.]
Lindsay: It was our pleasure, Franny. When it happens,
don't worry, we'll be there, ok? Love you Zoe, and Mel
send her love, too. OK. Bye. Franny and Zoe send their
love.
Mel: That's nice.
Lindsay: They really appreciated the shower and their
really like the mobile I made for them.
Mel: Do you ever get tired for been so cheery?
Lindsay: You have no idea.
Mel. Well, I'm tired of putting in all these extra hours
so you can be with the baby. So, why don't you just go --
go be with the baby.
Lindsay: It's not just for me. I wish you stop saying
that so Gus can be...
Mel: ...raised by one of this mommies instead of an
stranger. Now, can I please get to work?
Lindsay: Not until you apologized for the way you behave
on the shower.
Mel: How do I behave?
Lindsay: We were rude, critical, the other time you don't
be there.
Mel: What about your behavior? Smiling and gracious as
ever, as if nothing's wrong.
Lindsay: Plenty is wrong. We just don't share that with
our friends.
Mel: Maybe they should. Maybe our friends should know
that their role models aren't so perfect after all.
Lindsay: Were do you goin'?
Mel: For a smoke.
[Emmett at home. Emmett's packing
up all of his sex-related paraphernalia.]
Emmett: Shaving Ryan's Privates, Good Dick Hunting, As
Big as it Gets - gone. Oh, Fatal Erection - film classic.
Sterling silver cock ring - I looked fabulous on.
[Mike and Ted walk in. Mike came by to pick up the mail]
Michael: Hi, Em.
Emmett: Oh, hi.
Michael: I just came by to keep the mail.
Emmett: Right there.
Ted: We want to see if you grab to bite... [he sees the
box] What you're doin'?
Emmett: Spring cleaning.
Michael: It's December.
Emmett: Yeah, I'm just donating some things to the
homeless.
Ted: Black leather caps. Porn tapes. And a double-headed
dildo. Well, you are going to make some lucky bag lady
very happy.
Emmett: All right, well, I might as well be straight with
you.
Michael and Ted: Straight.
Emmett: It's not impossible, you know? I know that you
guys are my friends, and that you'll support me in
anything I choose to do.
Michael: Of course.
Ted: Weren't we there to cheer you on when you painted
your toenails magenta?
Emmett: I've decided that I need to explore the part of
me that isn't gay.
Ted: And what part, pray tell, would that be?
Emmett: So, I... I just joining those groups, 'See the
Light'.
Ted: Oh shit!
Emmett: And their gonna help me find my way back to my
true self.
Michael: Who you are is your true self!
Emmett: No, this is who I allowed myself to become.
Michael: That's bullshit!
Emmett: They said you might react badly.
Ted: Yeah, what else did "they" say?
Emmett: That I can be the person god wants me to be.
Ted: Jesus Emmett, they're brainwashing you.
Emmett: No, they're not. They're very nice people.
Ted: Yeah, who just happen to want every gay person on
earth annihilated!
Michael: They haven't offered you any Kool-Aid yet, have
they?
Emmett: You know, I really don't appreciate been moped.
Michael: That's the napkin Liza autographed for you!
Emmett: Gone.
[Liberty Avenue.]
Ted: This is all my fault. I'm the one who beg on him to
come with me to my hiv test. If he hadn't, he would never
this happened.
Michael: You're not responsible for losing his mind.
Ted: Maybe all he needs is one good fuck to forget all
about this.
[They pass a guy handing out flyers and take one.]
Ted: Look at this. Zack O'Tool in a plate.
Michael: The pornstar?
Ted: I have his entire "oeuvre" on DVD.
Michael: I didn't know he could talk.
Ted: I wonder what kinda play this is.
Michael: What kind of play do you think something called
"Twelve Horny Men" is?
Ted: Why we don't find out?
[The friendly neighborhood
lesbian bar. Marianne and Melanie sit at a table, smoking
and drinking. Melanie sighs, exhaling a stream of smoke
in the air]
Mel: It feel soo good. Sometimes I would do anything for
a cigarette.
Marianne: Well, that's good to know. So why do you
indulge yourself when you feel like it?
Mel: I gave up smoking when the baby became. Lindsay was
concerned about secondhand smoke. She's right.
Marianne: Is Lindsay one of those people who's always
infuriatingly right?
Mel: About almost everything, damnright. It was such a
relief, I mean at the shower everyone talking babies,
breathing babies.
Marianne: Yes, it was a bit oppressive.
Mel: I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my son. But
sometimes...
Marianne: ...sometimes, you just need something else.
Mel: You mind if I'm smoking?
Marianne: I have another pack.
Mel: Oh, it's okay.
[As the waiter puts down two more glasses of wine.]
Mel: MM?
Marianne: Yeah, you, me, and Marilyn Monroe, we all have
the same initials. What do you think that means?
Mel: Yee, that two of three are dykes?
Marianne: You know, I actually heard...
Mel: No! Stop!
Marianne: I'm serious. Well, I think this is fate. Just
when you needed someone to tell your troubles to. Not
that you have to tell me. Considering that I'm your new
best friend and weed pusher.
Mel: Look, everyone has this.
Marianne: I know. Wait until you get a load of mine. But
I want you to know someting. That whatever's said here at
this table doesn't go any further. Girl Scout's Honor.
[Brian's. Justin's dropped by.]
Brian: How long have you known me? I don't 'do' dates.
Justin: It's not a date! I asking you to come with me to
Babylon.
Brian: The answer is no. I have work to do.
Justin: Since when this ever stopped you?
[Brian smacks him on the butt]
Brian: Why are you studying you for your SATs?
Justin: Dancing helps my concentrating. Seriously, it
release certain endorphins so that I can study harder and
for longer periods time.
Brian: So, Babylon's good for your health. That's a new
one.
[The doorbell rings, and Justin runs to get it, but Brian
pulls him back.]
Brian: Yeah?
Kip: "Hey, it's Kip."
Justin: Who?
Brian: Is none of your business.
Justin: Who?
Brian: And it is business, believe it or not.
Justin: That's okay. I'll just find someone else to dance
with. Shouldn't be a problem.
Brian: So that you can study, longer and harder.
[Justin walks down the stairs and Kip comes up in the
freight elevator. Justin sort of lurks around a corner to
check Kip out and then mopes off. ]
Brian: You had problem to find it?
Kip: No, your direction was fine.
Brian: Good, you brough your work.
Kip: Man, this is awesome.
Brian: Would you like something to drink?
Kip: Yeah, you have some beer?
Brian: Yeah.
Kip: So, if you don't mind if I'm asking, how much is
this place like cost?
Brian: More than you can afford on your current salary.
Kip: Not for long.
Brian: Yeah, I'm sure you'll go far.
Kip: You mind if I take a look around?
Brian: Go ahead. I'll be right with you.
[Brian goes back to his desk to organize his paperwork.]
Brian: So, why don't we --
[Brian finds him sprawled out naked on the bed.]
Brian: ...get started.
Kip: That's just what I had in mind.
[The "play." As Ted and
Mike watch in anticipation, Zack O'Tool strides the
stage]
Zack: We've been locked in this jury room for three days.
Three days, trying to reach a verdict. Three days with no
human contact.
[The audience is all men, most with their mouths open in
awe. Ted, for one, has rolled up his program and is
subconsciously running his hand up and down it.]
Zack: Three days breathing the air in here, thick with
the smell of man-stench.
Michael: [whispers to Ted] Speaking of stench, you ever
heard such of dialogue?
Ted: Sssh, it's brilliant.
Zack: Well, there's only one way to break this deadlock.
[Audience holds its collective breath, Zack rips off his
shirt, and then rips off his pants. Shot from behind, his
dick falls, like, halfway to the floor. The other eleven
jurors rip off their clothes, too, and the crowd bursts
into applause.]
Michael: This must be how they reached a verdict in the
O.J. trial.
Ted: That's what I call a hung jury! Bravo!!!
[Outside
after the play, Ted and Mike make their way through the
crowd of losers asking for O'Tool's autograph. When
they're finally in front of him, they start giggling like
schoolboys]
Michael: That was a really interesting play.
Zack: To me, it challenges the very nature of our legal
system and asks, 'Is it indeed possible to even receive a
fair trial?'
Ted: Well, I'd say that our judicial branch is in fine
shape.
Zack: So, do you like to sign your programme?
Ted: Uh, actually Mr.O'Tool... [to Mike] I can't actually
talk to Zack O'Tool.
Michael: We were wondering if...
Ted: ...ever did personal appearances?
Zack: I got a open play on Saturday.
Michael: No, we're thoughed about more... personal
appearances.
Ted: It's a very good friend of ours is having certain
doubts about himself. And since you are his very
favorite, favorite porn star, we're thoughed you can see
him.
Zack: Tell him he can see my show. Or, wait until next
month, when I'm making my Shakespearean debut as Coriol
Anus.
Michael: It might be late by then. He needs you now.
Ted: We'll pay! A thousand dollars!
Michael: Are you out of your fucking mind?!
Ted: No. But Emmett is.
[The Mickey-Can't-Touch-This
House. Melanie creeps in the door and takes a deep breath
before starting up the stairs.]
[Cut to
Melanie and Marianne at Marianne's place, walking in the
door.]
[Cut
back to Melanie walking up the stairs, as the camera
focuses on her hand -- the one with the wedding ring on
it -- holding onto the banister.]
[Cut
back to Marianne's, as Marianne takes the same hand and
leads it up her own staircase.]
[Back to
Mel's, as she tries to enter her and Lindsay's bedroom
without making any noise.]
[Cut to
back to Marianne, lighting a candle, and then seductively
blowing out the match. Melanie, with a determined look on
her face, takes off her jacket and joins Marianne on the
bed.]
[Cut
back to Melanie and Lindsay's bedroom, as Lindsay
sleepily calls her name.]
Lindsay: Mel?
Mel: Sorry I wake you.
Lindsay: You left so angry. What time is it? Where have
you been?
[Cut
back to Marianne's bed, where Mariane runs her hands up
Melanie's body and hey have sex.]
[Cut
back to Mel and Linds]
Mel: Nowhere - out.
Lindsay: Aren't you tell me were you goin' without
called? What if Gus or I need you?
[Back to
Marianne's bed. More sex.]
[Back to
Mel and Linds.]
Mel: I told you, I was for a cigarette.
Lindsay: All night?
Mel: I need the time to myself.
[Marianne's
Bed. Mel kisses her breats. She's moaning.]
[Back to
Mel and Linds.]
Lindsay: Of course you are. I was just worried. Are you
alright?
[Marianne's
bed. After the sex.]
Marianne: Are you okay?
Mel: I'm fine.
[Back to
Mel and Linds.]
Mel: I'm gonna go and sleep in the guest room.
[Emmett. There's a knock at the
door, and Emmett answers it. It's Zack, with the big
sideways bulge in his jeans to prove it. Emmett's in
shock.]
Emmett: Oh my god, you're Zack O'Tool.
Zack: I'm looking for Emmett Honeycut?
Emmett: Look, that's impossible.
Zack: And why is that?
Emmett: Because that's me.
Zack: Well, I heard that you're one of my biggest fans. I
thought I'd drop by and see just...how big.
Emmett: I know every inch of you. I mean I know you
inside... and out...
Zack: You mind if I come in?
Emmett: Make... make yourself com... comfortable. You
know how people say how much smaller movie stars are when
you see them in real life? Well, you're actually...not.
In fact you looked just like you did in "Hung Like a
Horse" were you raped the two stable boys.
[Zack grins and sits down on the couch.]
Zack: Their was one of my favorites.
Emmett: Oh, this one what I really like is a scene in
"Eating Out" when you raped the two busboys.
Zack: I'm horny. I need some release.
Emmett: Oh, my God, that's exactly what you say in Deep
End, Part II when you rape the two pool boys.
Zack: I got the golden dildo for best act on that one.
Emmett: I know and it was so deserved.
Zack: Emmett, how'd you like to make friends with my
buddy here?
Emmett: Me? Blows Zack O'Tool? I have dreamt about this
moment all my life!
Zack: Well, he's waiting for ya.
[The ad agency. Kip walks into
Brian's office as Brian's walking out.]
Kip: Hey, how's goin'?
Brian: I'm gonna get a meeting outside the office in 20
minutes.
Kip: I hope it's not like our meeting outside the office.
Brian: What? Oh!
Kip: So, when we are get together?
Brian: Ask Cynthia to check my schedule. Maybe after the
shoeman meeting.
Kip: I meant for dinner.
Brian: I don't know. I'm late.
[Kip stops him before he gets into the elevator.]
Kip: Listen, before you go there is something I ask you.
Brian: You have thirty seconds.
Kip: Grayman bumped up to director which means there is a
job available. I like to go up for it. And I like you to
recommend me. And I'll be damngood.
Brian: I think you would be to.
Kip: Thanks.
Brian: But not yet.
Kip: Why not?
Brian: It's too soon.
Kip: But you keep telling me how great my ideas are.
Brian: They are but you have still a lot to learn.
Kip: Why can I learn on the job?
Brian: I admire your ambition, but you need the
experience to back it up. Give it time.
Kip: I don't have time. By then it will get it to someone
else. Look, I know I'm not be perfect.
Brian: I told you - you are not ready.
[The Hospital. The Righteous Babe
Brigade has gathered together once more, this time to
celebrate Franny and Zoe's bundle of joy. Lindsay,
leaning across the bed right next to Marianne.]
Lindsay: Another boy. None in the group has a girl yet.
Marianne: I know two gays, Harry and Sam, they're just
had a little girl.
Lindsay: I'm Lindsay.
Marianne: Marianne. I was for the shower.
Lindsay: That's right.
Marianne: You know, you two have a beautiful home, and a
beautiful son. Hell, you have a beautiful life. I hope
you two take care of each other -- you know, protect what
you've got. You don't want to lose it.
[Melanie enters, and everyone turns around to look at
her. Melanie just about turns blue when she sees Marianne
and Lindsay standing next to each other.]
Lindsay: Franny and Zoe had a boy!
Franny: There you are, Mel. Come look at Gus's new best
friend.
Mel: He's uh... georgious.
Franny: Isn't it like déjà-vu? I mean, it wasn't that
long ago that you and Lindsay were right here.
Zoe: I remember how radiant you two looked.
Lindsay: You two look the same way.
Mel: Would you guys excuse me?
[In the
hall of the hospital.]
Lindsay: Mel?
Mel: We were radiant, weren't we? When we had Gus. We
were so happy.
Lindsay: Yes, the most beautiful moments on my life. Of
our lives.
Mel: So how did we get through this?
Lindsay: To what?
Mel: To where we are.
Lindsay: We have our problems, but...
Mel: Not they're not just problems, everything's wrong.
Lindsay: Not everything. Look, I've be thinking. If you
would help to talk to someone then we just should do,
like you said.
Mel: Something happened.
Lindsay: What?
Mel: [can't see in Lindsay's eyes] Something happened. I
didn't mean for it to. But it did.
Lindsay: I don't understand. What do you mean? [she get
it] Who has she?
Mel: Doesn't matter.
Marianne: The nurses come to get the baby. We only have a
few moments.
[Lindsay staggers away down the hallway, away from all of
them.]
Mel: I'm sorry, Linds.
[Babylon! Brian, Justin, Ted, and
Mike are at the bar.]
Brian: You put Emmett up with Zack O'Tool?
Michael: I wish I could be seen there to see his face. He
open that door and he him...
Ted: ... standing there.
Justin: Zack O'Tool have supposed to have a twelve-inch
dick.
Michael: How do you know who Zack O'Tool is?
Justin: Everyone knows who the 'Manrammer' is.
Michael: Even schoolboys?
Ted: That's part of the curriculum. 'Gay Porn Stars 101.'
Brian: Yeah, and here's the first lesson: those that can,
do. Those that can't, watch porn. See ya, boys.
[Brian spots his next conquest and heads off. He follows,
like, whoever, into the Back Room of Sex. And who should
he run into instead but Kip. Kip's higher than the Mir
Station this evening.]
Kip: Hey Brian, you wanna dance?
Brian: I don't think so.
Kip: Well we're not in the office now, so let's go down.
Brian: I'm busy. Well at least I was. What do you want?
Kip: Double bumps.
Brian: You shouldn't let see Senior Management know that.
Kip: I'm just celebrating. Tonight is a special occasion.
Brian: Oh?
Kip: Yeah, didn't hear you? This guy got a new position
for this job when you recommend me.
Brian: Look, I told you...
Kip: You obliged to help me out.
Brian: Why, because I fucked you? You weren't that good.
Kip: I'm gay, and you're gay.
Brian: Yeah, we're all gay. Do you think that means you
some...
Kip: Favor? We're supposed to help each other.
Brian: The same way I did, by helping yourself. By doin'
the job better than anybody else. If you can do that and,
trust me, they won't give a shit where you stick your
dick, and don't mix that with booze. There. I did you a
favor.
[Liberty Avenue, the next day.]
Ted: That's the fourth message I left for him.
Michael: He's probably recovering from having Zack O'Tool
fucking his brains out.
Ted: That what it takes if he never think to 'See the
Light' again then the 1,000 Dollars I spend are well
worth.
[They spot Emmett across the street, run to him]
Michael: Were have you been?
Ted: You've got our messages?
Emmett: Uh, I've been busy.
Ted: I'll bet you have.
Michael: So, come and have a drink with us.
Emmett: I can't. I'm meeting someone.
Michael: A guy?
Emmett: Well, if you must know, yes. His name is Matt.
Ted: Well, guys named Matt, by my calculation, are always
87.5 percent cute! So tell us all about it.
Emmett: All about what?
Michael: The other night.
Emmett: The other night?
Ted: Well when a certain someone with a well developed
something came in your chamber door.
Emmett: Oh, you mean Zack.
Ted: I love when he is so.
Emmett: It was quite an eye-opening experience, and I owe
it all to you.
Ted: Oh anything for a friend.
Michael: As long as it did the trick.
Emmett: It did the trick all right. Really I can't you
thank enough. It helped me prove to myself that I can
resist any temptation, even it's the only man I've ever
had a spontaneous orgasm over provided by resolve strong
enough.
Ted: What?! Did you mean, you didn't do anything?
Emmett: Talked.
Ted: You talked?!
Emmett: Did you know he studied acting with Uta Hagen?
And he's fluent in three languages.
Ted: That's not the kind of tongue action I paid a
thousand dollars for!
Emmett: You paid a thousand dollar?
Ted: Damnright I did, buddy!!!
Emmett: Wow. They told me you'd stop at nothing to
prevent me from finding my true self and there were
right.
Michael: Emmett, listen to me. You always found your true
self.
Ted: Your true self is a big nelly queen who likes to get
down on his knees and suck cock, and once a year, on
Halloween, likes to get dressed as the ugliest fuckin'
Cher that the world as ever seen! And that's okay! You've
got to get away from those sicko creeps before they
destroy you.
Emmett: No. No. Actually it's you to get away from. They
tried to tell me that, but I didn't want to believe them.
But now, I've seen the light.
[And he walks down the street, accompanied by completely
inappropriate Gospel music.]
[The Happy Fun Discorama. Mel
packing. Lindsay's holding Gus]
Lindsay: Mel, you don't have to go.
Mel: I've caused enough harm. It would only be
destructive to you, to me, to Gus.
Lindsay: You haven't even say where you goin'? To her?
Mel: There is never any attention to make of it what it
was. I'm gonna go to stay with my cousin Rita.
Lindsay: The one with the overbite, who thought we'd
never make it?
Mel: Well, I guess she deserves the prize for being
right, huh? I guess, that's everything for know. Can I
have a moment alone with Gus?
[Lindsay actually hands her the baby and leaves the
room.]
[Brian's office. Bob and Brad
bravely face The Sneermaster once again over the wingtip
campaign.]
Brad: We thought the nostalgia would appeal to the
denture set.
Brian: By reminding them that their best years are behind
them, and all they have to look forward to is further
deterioration. And death.
Bob: We though it would make them smile.
Brian. They're afraid to smile. Their fucking teeth will
fall out! Where is Kip?
Brad: Uh, he called in sick.
Brian: Shit.
Ryder: Brian, can I talk to you?
Brian: I finishing your parading later.
[Both are leaving the room. Ryder closes the door.]
Brian: What's up?
Ryder: You tell me. Legal just receive the fax from Kip
Thomas lawyer. He says that you promised to help Mr.
Thomas's career in exchange for sexual favors. And when
he, uh, complied, then you rescinded your offer.
Brian: Well, that's complete another bullshit.
Ryder: Well bushit or not he's suing you and us for
sexual harassment.
[Brian's face slacks in horror.]
