"I'll be in the garden after 7:00." "Not the garden." "Boathouse." "What, John didn't tell you?" " No." " Ah." "Well, it was when he first came to this country, short and sweet, six months, tops." "I'm sorry." "What happened?" "Oh, we were both so young." "I was too needy and he wasn't needy enough." "I don't think John can love anyone." "Now you tell me." "Perhaps one of us had better swim out there and tell Ramon." "I think you should break it to him." "I don't think I'm his type." "I don't think either of us is." "I enjoy looking though." "Is there a British equivalent for machismo?" "No, none at all." "Maybe Glenda Jackson." "Well, this tea is not doing it for me." "Can I bring you a real drink down?" "An ice cold martini, very dry with a twist." "Is that gonna be good for you?" "Absolutely terrible." "Here." "Here." "All right, it's right here." "Thanks." "Thank you." "Hello?" "What?" "Yeah, I can't hear you." "You have to speak up." "What?" "We don't have sun like this in England." "If we did, we'd be much nicer people." "Shh." ""Swan Lake."" "My blood just ran cold." "You're serious about that goddamn benefit." "Of course I'm..." "I'm serious." "That's all we need..." "a picture of you looking like some flaming fairy in the Arts and Leisure section." "Men in drag give the rest of us a bad name." "I have terrible news." ""The Fantastics" is closing!" "Whoo!" " Oh, come on, buzz!" " What?" "You know goddamn well what!" "No." "What?" "This?" "Put some clothes on." "No one wants to look at that." "That?" "You are referring to my body as that?" "Tell him, Arthur." "It's not bothering me." "Thank you, Arthur." "It's nice to know that Sharon Stone has not lived entirely in vain." "What brought this on?" "Nothing brought this on." "Some people do things spontaneously!" "It's a beautiful day." "The sun feels good." "I may not be around next summer, all right?" "This is how I look, Perry." "Love me, love my love handles!" "None of us may be around next summer." "What do you think you're doing?" "Oh, calm down, Perry." "I can't believe you actually lived through the '60s." "We only read about 'em in Kansas." "I'm less uptight than you are." "Leo, I could walk around like that too if I wanted to." "Who's stopping you?" "I just don't want to." "She's got it." "By George, she's got it." "Whoo!" "I give up." "I hope your dick gets a sunburn." "Yadda, yadda, yadda." "Thank you very much." "Bobby?" "Bobby?" "Bobby?" "What is it?" "Are you all right?" "Bobby." "Come on, baby." "Hey..." "Give me a hand." "All right, I'll race you back in." "No, I just got here." "Give me a hand." "You think I should be trusting my lover skinny-dipping with a horny Puerto Rican modern dancer?" "It depends on what makes you suspicious." "Horny, Puerto Rican, modern or dancer?" "All of them." "How long have you two been together?" "14 years today." " Oh!" "We're role models." "It's very stressful." "John, what..." "what's the matter?" "Bobby's sister." "There's been an accident." "Ow!" "Ow." "You had a fly on you." "You know, you got a nice ass for somebody your age." "Thank you." "So do you." "What?" "Have a nice ass." "Oh, you mean for someone my age?" "No, for someone any age." "What?" "No!" "Hey, hey!" "Hey!" "God!" "Goddamn it." "I'm so sorry." "It's all right." "It's all right." "Shh." "It's okay, it's okay." "It's all right." "It's all right." "It's all right." "Some sort of a ride at a fair in India." "Some sort of a ride at a fair in India." "Some sort of swing thing collapsed." "I couldn't get the whole story." "Is she...?" "Poor lamb." "Thank you." "It's hot." "How is he?" "He's, uh, all right." "You know, we'll go." "Oh, no, no, no." "He wants you to stay." "I remember when Gregory bought this place." "I was dead against it." "No one for miles and miles." "We could be the last eight people on earth." "That's a frightening thought." "Not if you're with the right eight people." "At times I wish you could see me." "See me looking at you." "The love there." "Uh, I'm not..." "I know." "I know this is a terrible thing to say right now, but..." "I am so happy, Bobby." "Thank you, God, for him." "You know how we tell each other everything, even when it's hard?" "Yes." "Memorial Day weekend." "Yes?" "Ramon and I..." "Don't, Bobby." " We made love." " Don't." "I didn't want it to happen, but it did." "Have you, um, um... did you, uh... do you, uh, want to again?" "No, I'm with you." "You leave tonight." "I don't want you in our house." "Where are you going?" "Don't, um, come, um, with me." "It's back." "That was brief." " Arthur, discard." " Okay." "Go." "Will you go?" "I'm going, I'm going." "The door is still closed." "You were right, honey." "We should have left." "Here he is." "That's him." "I'd swear on my mother's life." "And I once had sex with the ghost of Troy Donahue." "Wait a minute, first you said he was the model for Calvin Klein's Obsession." "I can't keep all those names straight, but I'll not forget a face and a body like that." "And you found this person sleeping adrift on a fishing boat?" "Yes." "You ever been to Greece?" "There are a lot of fishing boats." " And you made love to him?" " Not in the fishing boat." "It started to rain." "Found sort of a cave." "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh, this is very Dido and Aeneas." "Fuck you, all of you." "I don't care." "The next time you see his picture, you're tossing in bed thinking about him, just remember, somebody had him, and it wasn't you." "Ooh." "Ramon, Ramon, Ramon." "Do you think he's telling the truth?" "No." "Do you?" "Probably got a rotten personality." "I know how we can have a lot of fun." "Sit down." "Did you lock the door?" "It's locked." "Sit." "Put your hands behind your back, feet apart, head down, ready for interrogation, my beautiful bound prisoner." "Look at me." "You look so beautiful like that," "I think I could come without even touching you." "Let me go." "No." "Please, the rope, it's too tight." "My wrists." "Go on." "Struggle." "Shh." "I can't get loose." "Look at me." "You don't take your eyes from mine." "Who do you see?" "Who do you wish I were?" " No, I won't tell you." " Yes, you will." "Who?" "Look at me." "Who?" "Who do you wish I were?" "Kiss me." "Gag me with your mouth." "Come on, baby." "Who do you see?" "Who do you want in this chair?" "I don't know." "Yes, you do." "Everybody does." "Who do you see?" "Come on, tell me." "It's okay, John." "I can't." "Come on, baby, who?" "Don't make me." "I can't make you do anything." "I'm your fucking prisoner, man." "You have me tied up here, gagged." "Ohh." "Ohh." "His name was Padrick, the Irish spelling." "Fuck the spelling." "Padrick Boyle." "He was 17 years old." "I was 19." "I hear you." "17 and 19." "100 bottles of beer on the wall, 100 bottles of beer..." "Shut up." "Shut up." "He worked for us." "We owned a fleet of coaches." "Padrick and his father washed them, but that didn't matter." "We were friends." "He liked me." "I know he liked me." "Cut to the chase." "Cut to what chase?" "There wasn't any chase." "Get to the good part." "It's all a good part." "Get to the sex." "One night and day." "We started... wrestling." "Suddenly Padrick put his hand... down there, and he could feel I was hard." "And he said..." ""What is this?" "What the bloody hell is this, mate?"" "He took off my belt, wrapped it around my wrists... he raised my arms over my head and hung them to a hook along the wall." "Then he unfastened my trousers and let them drop to my ankles." "He undressed himself," "Took a chair like this one, and sat in it." "Then he looked right at me." "Didn't move, not even the slightest undulation of his hips." "And then he came, and all he let out was this one soft "uhh."" " What did he say?" " Uhh." "After a while he opened his eyes, stood up, and kissed me lightly on the lips." "No man had ever kissed me before." "My heart stopped beating." "He was going to tell me he loved me, but instead he said, "I've doused this place with petrol." "I'm lighting a match." "You have three minutes to get out alive." "Good luck, 007."" "Then he laughed and walked out, whistling." "He never wanted to play again." "Last time I saw him, he was overweight, father of four, and still washing our coaches." "But that's who I still see there every time." "And that's why we hate the bloody Irish." "Sorry." "Can I, um, get in there a sec?" "Sure." "Um, uh, sorry." "I need to, um, get a suitcase for Bobby." "How is he?" "He's going home." "Was it in there?" "No." "Wrong closet." "Do you mind if we don't..." "Suit yourself." "I'm not Padrick." "And I'm not Bobby." "I don't know what you're talking about." "You son of a bitch." "It was his idea." "I had nothing to do with it." "I'm sorry, John." "It was a joke." "You scum, you cunt, you piece of shit!" "I will get down on my knees to you." "How dare you?" "How fucking dare you?" "I hope you get what my brother has." "I hope you die from it." "When I read or hear that you have, then, Perry, then will I forgive you." "Well, so much for the unsafe exchange of body fluids." "Boy, I would like to flatten that limey motherfucker." "You know, I'm tired of "limey."" "Aren't there any other hateful words for those ass-licking, cock-sucking, motherfucking, shit-eating descendants of Shakespeare, Shelley and Keats?" "Okay, honey, let's drop it, all right?" "He is just lucky I am a big queen." "One thing you are not, Arthur, and never will be, is a big queen." "I know." "I'm butch." "I can..." "I can catch a ball." "I genuinely like both my parents." "I hate opera." "I don't know why I bother being gay." "Oh, God." "Where did that come from?" "Happy anniversary." "Are we okay?" "We're fine." "14 years." "Make you feel old?" "No, lucky." "How did we manage?" "We wanted to manage." "I haven't been perfect." "Well, I've been perfect." "Sure, you have." "I thought you were the most wonderful looking man I'd ever seen." "Did you really think that?" "Uh-huh." "Ow!" "Sorry." "When was the last time I did this?" "Just don't make a face." "I am not making a face." "I can hear it in your voice." "I wouldn't do this for anyone but you." "You know, if you really think about it, this is what it all comes down to." "What?" "Trimming the hair in your boyfriend's ears?" "Oh, God, I hope not." "I'll snitch a frock out of National Theater storage for you." "Something of Dame Edith Evans." "Oh." "What's the matter?" "I'm waiting for you to tell me she was gay." "She wasn't, actually." "One of two British actresses who isn't." "I think the other one is Deborah Kerr." "But all the rest, galloping lezzies." "Do you have a boyfriend over there?" "Not anymore." "What about you?" "Oh, darling, when the going gets tough, weak boyfriends get going, or something like that." "I can't say I'm honestly minding." "Last acts are depressing, and generally one long solo." "Well, they don't have to be." "How sick are you?" "I think I'm in pretty good nick, but my reports read like something out of Nostradamus." "I should have died six months ago." "Try 18." "Do you have any lesions?" "Only one, and I've had it for nearly a year." " Where is it?" " In a very inconvenient spot." "Oh, they are all inconvenient." "May I see it?" "It's, uh..." "All right." "I, um..." "I have a lesbian friend in London, who's the only other person who's ever asked to see it." "I was quite astonished when she did." "Touched, actually." "Somebody loves me, even if it's not the somebody I've dreamed of." "Are you through?" "Gwenyth didn't go that far." "It doesn't disgust you?" "It's going to be me." "You don't know that." "Yes, I do." "You're very nice, you know?" "So are you." "No, I..." "I mean it." "So do I."

"Oh, thanks." "Tuck it in, Arthur." "I beg your pardon." "See, that's what I keep telling him." "If your just gonna sit on the sidelines and be a kibitz..." "Kibitz?" "What's a kibitz?"

"Oh, look out there." "It's clearing up." "Ah, there's a full moon." "The lake is incredible." "This is why people have places in the country." "Even gay people?" "Drop it, you two." "You can practically read by that moonlight." "All right." "Let's go swimming." "Huh?" "Come on, Bobby." "Come on, let's go." "No." "Moonlight's wasted on me." "Go down to the lake, all of you." "I'll be down in a bit." "Ah, he's a saint." "He's gorgeous, and he's a saint." "Let's go." "What's the weather supposed to be tomorrow?" " More rain." " Ah, no." "John... we're all going down to the lake!" "No, and I have never had the guts." "Watch out for the alligators." "Oh, no." "Don't even joke." "And stay clear of the water moccasins."
