EPISODE 6 THE SCRIPT CONTINUES ...

Scene 12: Michael and David are walking up steps, about to enter Woody's.

Music- "You" by Judy Albanese

Michael: Are you sure you want to do this?

David: Yeah sure, why not? Get a taste of your world, see what I'm saving you from.

(they enter)

David: (looks around) Just the same as I remember it, even the guys look the same.

Michael: Why'd you stop?

David: It wasn't for me. And I met someone.

Michael: Oh?

David: Yeah we were together almost six years.

Michael: Wow. So who left who?

David: He died.

Michael: I'm sorry.

David: Nobody's fault.

Emmett: (jumps into the conversation) Hi, so is uh, is this the famous chiropractor?

Michael: David this is Emmett.

David: (shakes Emmett's hand) Hi Emmett.

Emmett: Hello gorgeous. (pulls David by the hand) So um, so I have uh, I've got a little tightmess right in here (feels the back of his neck) one of the places I don't need it. Would you mind?

David: I wouldn't mind at all if you made an apointment.

Emmett: (laughs) Well it was worth a shot.

Michael: Where's Ted?

Emmett: Out with the Pilsbury Dough Boy. Oh my God that guy over there looks exactly like Matthew McConaughey, maybe he smokes pot naked, excuse me. (exits)

David: (laughs) He doesn't hold anything back huh?

Michael: He was toning it down for you.

(they take a seat at a table)

Brain: (enters) Where the fuck have you been? (falls onto Michael's lap)

Michael: Brian, this is David.

Brian: Oh fuck me, the new beau.

David: I've heard a lot about you.

Brian: I've heard a lot about you too. 16 right, 11 left?

David: Excuse me?

Michael: Nothing. You're tweeked, what are you on?

Brian: Ah, E, K, GHB, most of the letters on "Sesame Street".

Michael: You're gonna get dehydrated taking all that shit. I'm gonna go get you some water. (to David) Want a beer?

David: Sure.

(Michael exits)

David: Well you've got him well trained.

Brian: Well he takes care of me and I take car of him. So doc, do you fuck all of your patients?

David: Well if you're refering to Michael, I released him from my care before we went out together. What about you, what do you do?

Brian: Advertising.

David: Well you must know a thing or two about screwing people yourself.

Brian: Yeah I could do it in my sleep.

David: I bet you could.

Brian: You know Dave, what's weird about you meeting Mikey-

David: Mikey?

Brian: -is that we usually meet guys together.

David: And they usually end up with you?

Brian: The lucky ones.

David: Debatable.

Michael: So what'd I miss.

David: Nothing special.

(Brian takes the beer rather than the water and leaves)


Scene 13: Roger is over at Ted's place.

Ted: Okay, identify my favorite Aria of all time and you instantly become my new favorite person.

Roger: Oh, well thanks for not putting any pressure on me.

Ted: (plays song)

Music- "Sesto's Aria" by Dagmar Peckova

Roger: Dagmar Peckova, Sesto's Aria Act II, come on give me a tough one.

Ted: Okay, stop trying to make me fall for you.

Roger: Who's trying?

Ted: You know, you are the first person I've met in Pittsburg who knows Sesto's Aria.

Roger: I'm the only other person who knows.

Ted: You know, (puts his hand on Roger's arm) when I was a kid I used to pretend I was sick on Saturday afternoons so I could skip little league practice and listen to the Met Opera broadcast on the radio.

Roger: I wish I'd known you, we could have listened together. (takes Ted's hand and kisses it) Is uh, is this allowed.

Ted: (nods) Yeah. Only uh, I'm not quite ready yet.

Roger: It's okay.

Ted: But I will be soon and uh, I have a feeling it's gonna be great (gulps wine).


Scene 14: Michael and David are walking down Liberty Avenue together.

Michael: You had a hideous time, I could tell.

David: Ah, I don't mind going out once and a while.

Michael: Are you implying that I'm a scene queen?

David: (puts his arm around Michael and punches Michael's stomach playfully) You are a scene queen.

Michael: We're in Pittsburg, there is no scene.

David: Yeah, so what's the big attraction?

Michael: Well if you don't go out you don't meet people.

David: You met me.

Michael: Rare exception, besides my friends are here-

David: Your friends! Some friends, your friend Brian tried to hit on me.

Michael: He did not.

David: I've been around the block.

Michael: He's always like that, besides he was high.

David: I'm just telling you.

Michael: He wouldn't.

David: He did.

Michael: Shit. Well he can't have you, you're mine (Michael kisses him passionately).

David: Woo!


Scene 15: Lindsay is sitting on a stool in Brian's apartment while he "prepares" breakfast.

Brian: (carelessly pours cereal into two bowls) I told you, I'm not going.

Lindsay: I promised him you'd be there.

Brian: Well you should stop making promises that I can't keep.

Lindsay: Hey, don't be a shit. I'm trying to clean up some of your mess.

Brian: Look he's the one who threw himself at me (pours milk into the bowls, most of it landing on the counter). I've been trying to get rid of him.

Lindsay: (cleaning up milk) Tell it to the judge.

Brian: When did you start sounding like your girlfriend? (throws cubes of sugar into bowls recklessly)

Lindsay: It's time you became part of the community.

Brian: Look, just because I fuck huys does not make me part of some community, and it doesn't mean I have anything in common with someone else who does.

Lindsay: You know it's more than that. You need to take care of each other.

Brian: I don't need to take care of anyone, and I don't need anyone to take care of me.

Lindsay: One day you might.

Brian: Fuck groups.

Lindsay: I thought you did.

Brian: Occasionally, but it's by invitation only.


Scene 16: The art show.

Daphne: Did you see this? They're charging a hundred dollars for every one of your drawings. You could be rich.

Justin: It's charity, I don't get to keep it.

Daphne: Still... And would you stop watching the door.

(over by the piano, which Roger is playing)

Ted: He plays beautifully, doesn't he?

Emmett: I'm all a tingle. So have you two had sex yet?

Ted: No, would you you keep your voice down.

Emmett: Well when are you?

Ted: When we both know it's the right thing to do.

Emmett: Sex is never the right thing to do. Feeding the poor is the right thing to do, hiring the handicaped is the right thing to do, donating blood is the right-

Ted: Alright, alright you've made your point.

(near the food table)

Lindsay: Everyone loves your drawings.

Melanie: Are you gonna check out the food?

Justin: I'm not hungry.

Melanie: Okay, how 'bout the cute guys, there's some right over there just about your age.

(enters Brian)

Justin: He's here.

Melanie: Mm, yi-pee.

Daphne: Well aren't you going over there?

Justin: Are you crazy?

(Lindsay with Brian covering his face)

Lindsay: (kisses Brian) Thanks for coming.

Brian: (spots Michael and David) Whatever. Where's the back room?

Michael: (walking up to Brian and Lindsay with David) Lindsay this is David.

Lindsay: Nice to meet you.

David: Nice to meet you.

Debbie: (in the distance) Woo! Michael!

David: (curiously waves)

Michael: (avoiding Debbie) Let's go check out the vagina sculptures first, get it over with.

Bran: (walks up to Justin) The famous artiste.

Justin: So did you see my stuff?

Brian: No I had to get a drink first (glares at David with Michael, David walks away).

Justin: It's over there in case you're interested.

Brian: (walks up to Michael) Psst.

Michael: (looking at Justin's drawing of Brian) I think the artist has taken some liberties.

Brian: Oh, that's a perfect likeness.

Michael: Come on, it was never that big.

Brian: Hey you haven't seen it in a long time.

Michael: I haven't seen "Gone With The Wind" in a long time either, but I still know it's three and a half hours.

(David and Melanie by a still life)

Melanie: The Brian and Michael show blah blah blah, stuck in perpetual reruns.

David: Was it always like that?, Michael running after him.

Melanie: It's the greatest love story never told, trust me. What was your name?

David: David.

Melanie: Melanie. Trust me David. long after you're gone he'll still have Michael, Brian's little accolant, poor guy. But don't worry, Michael can wait forever, Brian will never fuck him.

(back to Michael and Brian)

Michael: By the way. I heard you hit on David last night.

Brian: (snickers) I couldn't have been that high.

Michael: You were and you did.

Brian: I was testing him, I wanted to see if he'd drop you first chance he got.

Michael: Yeah right.

Brian: Aren't I always looking out for you?

Michael: You're just jealous because someone actually thinks I'm hot or something.

Brian: You are hot or something. I've been telling you that since you were fourteen, but you won't believe me (he kisses Michael on the lips)

(back to David and Melanie)

David: You suppose I just keep him company while Michael waits?

Melanie: Oh, oh shit. Oh you're with Michael?

David: Yeah.

Melanie: Um, oh Jesus. I oh, I- I'm sorry, I- I didn't mean that. I mean, well I mean Brian's the one that's always showing up with some new guy, so I just assumed, that um-

David: Don't worry about it.

Melanie: W- Well you know they love each other as friends, but that's it, really that's all it is.

David: Really, it's not like I didn't know.

Melanie: Do you want a shrimp ball?

David: No thanks (leaves)

Melanie: (mouths "fuck")

(Emmett with Debbie staring at a provacative painting of three muscular men in speedos)

Emmett: Now that's what I call a piece. ...Of art.

Debbie: (laughs) I've always admired creative people.

Emmett: (eyeing Debbie's outfit) You're pretty creative yourself there Missy.

Debbie: Not me. But Michael, he's got a gift.

Emmett: I didn't know he could draw.

Debbie: Well he can't. I bought him tracing paper when he was a kid so he could copy his comic books. His Spiderman always ended up looking like Little Orphan Annie.

Emmett: (laughs) Well what's his talent?

Debbie: Well it's nothing to be famous for. You'll never see his paintings hanging in an art gallery or hear him playing at Carnigie Hall. But when it comes to taking care of people, knowing what you need better even than you do, he's a fucking Picasso.

Emmett: (kisses Debbie's cheek)

(Jennier enters the GLC, she is startled by the sexual content of the art, and finds a man walking out of the gallery to be a little strange)

(inside Ted and Roger are looking at erotic photographs, the first one of a gay couple embracing)

Roger: Beautiful light and shadow.

Ted: Very haunting.

(the next is of a naked man balancing a pillow on his back)

Roger: The photographer has a great eye.

Ted: Strong composition.

Justin: You can't stay here, you have to leave.

Jennifer: Justin don't be mean. I kept my end of the bargin, now- now I would like to see my son's work. I won't embarrass you I promise.

Lindsay: Justin is this your mother?

Jennifer: Hi, I'm Jennifer (shakes Lindsay and Melanies' hands)

Melanie: Melanie.

Lindsay: Lindsay. You know your son's remarkably talented, you should be very proud.

Jennifer: Well thank you, I am. And what a beautiful baby.

Lindsay: His name's Gus.

Melanie: Actually Justin's the one who named him.

Jennifer: Really, that was his teddy bear's name.

Lindsay: Aw.

Melanie: Aw a teddy bear.

Justin: Mom...

Jennifer: Um, are you the mother?

Lindsay: Uh yes, but we're raising him together.

Jennifer: Well that's wonderful. I've never met lesbian mothers before, I mean I read about you- them in the papers all the time.

Melanie: It seems like there's always some judge in Alabama trying to take our kids away.

Lindsay: That's why I married a lawyer (she kisses Melanie). Have you seen the art?

Jennifer: Not yet, where's your stuff honey? (exiits)

Melanie: (to Justin) She came, that's huge.

(Ted and Roger continue to look at the photographs, the one they look at now is a picture of a naked man who's penis is exposed)

Roger: Tremendous energy.

Ted: It really jumps right ot at you. Roger?, I think I'm ready.

Roger: I promised to play the piano.

Ted: You're just volenteering.

Roger: I know, fuck 'em.

(Ted and Roger run past Brian and then Jennifer, both turn perplexed)

(Jennifer looks at her son's work, first a drawing of Daphne, then one of Lindsay and Gus, then the back of a naked man, which shakes her up a bit, but the bomb is droped when she spots the one of Brian)
