After Louie Page #4

Now what?

I want to paint you.

Come on.

Close your eyes.

Eyes closed.

Your turn.

Close.

BRAEDEN:
At the end of

one of these sessions,

the top f***ed the bottom,

the final humiliation during

which he compared the bottom

to a cock-needy woman.

Or made the bottom

beg for it,

and made the bottom suck his

dick clean when he was finished.

This wasn't just Louie.

It was standard S&M

operating procedure.

I had always hated

getting f***ed.

Now what?

What do you think?

What's so revolutionary

about a gay guy who doesn't

like bottoming?

If you don't like it,

don't do it.

I like it.

Can't get enough.

Nothing better than a nice

big dick up inside my butt.

I love what a little

pervert you are.

Doesn't this just

contribute to the way

the rest of the world sees the

receptive partner in gay sex?

How is that?

As lesser than?

Do they?

Uh, even in

the gay community.

Straight acting, no

femmes, masc for masc.

If you put your dick

in someone, that's fine,

but if you open up

and take a dick,

you're not a real man.

You're being feminized,

and it's bad to be feminine,

because it's bad

to be a woman.

It's... it's right here.

"Final humiliation...

cock-needy woman."

I didn't realize

you're such a feminist.

Yeah, I guess I am.

- You still recording?

- Yeah.

SAM:
And that stuff

from William's book,

it's about the S&M scene.

- It's a particular kind of humiliation.

- Right.

Okay.

Maybe it's time

for you to be humiliated.

SAM:
What do you

think you're doing?

I'm finished

with these, Sam.

I'm done.

SAM:
I'm not gonna

pick those up for you.

Who the hell's gonna throw my body

over the fence at the White House?

Nobody.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

Um...

(CLEARS THROAT)

Does Braeden live here?

Yeah.

I'm just, uh...

He left this.

I'm just returning it.

You're Sam, right?

I'm sorry,

how rude of me.

Sam Cooper.

I'm Lukas.

I'm Braeden's boyfriend.

(CLEARS THROAT) Lukas, do you think

I could have a glass of water?

Yeah.

Manhattan's sh*t.

It's total sh*t.

It's like a steaming pile

of pig sh*t.

Why don't you tell me

how you really feel?

It's like,

you know what?

What is that?

So is Brooklyn.

It's all sh*t.

Why do you stay?

If I had my way,

we'd move back out west.

We would

get a little house,

maybe get a bunch of kids,

and maybe a dog.

How romantic.

Yeah.

So you're a filmmaker.

Sort of.

What's it about?

Well, it's an art film,

I guess.

Yeah, yeah, it's about

my friend William,

and his lover Louie,

or his f*** buddy, Louie,

I should say.

You know, it's really about,

uh, AIDS.

They both died

of AIDS in the '90s.

Sounds pretty boring.

It does?

No, Sam.

I'm kidding.

Oh, okay.

(CHUCKLES)

I get it.

You know

I'm pos, right?

No.

Braeden didn't

mention it?

He didn't really say

anything about you at all.

Hey.

Sam came here today.

Why?

To return this.

I didn't take

any money from him.

I didn't.

He wants us

to be in his movie.

Hey, now we're talking.

- We never make Asian.

- And you look so good!

- Oh, I'm exhausted!

- After slaving in the kitchen.

- (DOORBELL RINGS) - Oh, hold on.

Let me get that.

Hey.

Ah, sorry I'm late,

but I brought beer.

- Good man.

- All right, let me put those in the fridge.

Did you start

without me?

- No, you are just in time.

- Yeah, we just got here.

Few minutes later, I would've

definitely eaten your share, though.

- Did he get moo shu pork?

- Yes, Sam, we got you pork. Don't panic.

I cannot remember the last

time we were all together.

- Oh, it hasn't been that long.

- Over a year, at least.

No, it was more recent

than that.

MAGGIE:
No, I think

Mateo's right, Sam.

What about

Emma's school show?

"Annie Get Your Gun"?

Yeah, we were all

there for that.

- That was three years ago.

- SAM:
No!

Mm-hmm, yeah.

To old friends.

- Very old.

- (LAUGHTER)

We should do this

more often.

- Cheers to that!

- Yeah, cheers.

I can't believe

it's been three years.

Time flies when you're

having fun.

- But I'm not having fun.

- Where is the sesame noodle?

You know, I can't believe

she's 17 already.

17, that doesn't

sound right.

- No, she's definitely 17.

- Jesus Christ,

I remember changing

her diapers.

- I don't remember that.

- And she's growing up

to be more and more

like her mother every day.

Oh, you mean all her friends

are gay boys?

Yes, actually they are.

Well then, Sam will be

dating them soon.

Hey! Sam's boyfriends

aren't all that young.

Oh, yes they are.

- Young, dumb...

- BOTH:
And full of cum.

- They're not dumb.

- I'd prefer not to hear about this.

And you're just jealous.

Speaking of old times,

have you found those old

slides of William yet?

(SIGHS)

I'm looking.

Okay.

Ooh, what's this?

Well, I just wanted

to make one more toast.

- Oh yeah?

- Yes.

Jeffrey and I

have an announcement.

- You're engaged.

- You'd better not be.

Why do you always

have to ruin everything?

Oh, my God,

I was joking.

- Well, we're not engaged.

- Thank God.

- But we got married.

- MAGGIE:
No.

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes.

- What?

- Congratulations, boys!

- When?

JEFFREY:
Today.

You two got married today?

- City Hall.

- You little f***ers.

Oh, my God,

I am so happy for you.

Thanks, Maggie.

It's about time you made an

honest woman out of him.

Okay, to Jeff and Mateo.

What's the matter, Sam? Aren't

you going to say anything?

What do you want me

to say, Jeffrey?

Congratulations?

It's shocking.

I'm shocked.

Sam, lighten up.

Can't you even act

like you're happy for us?

Okay, sure.

Um...

To Jeffrey and Mateo.

Congratulations.

Congratulations on becoming

fully-fledged proponents

and shining examples

of heteronormativity.

Is he serious?

Are you serious right now?

I'm surprised at you,

Jeffrey.

- Sam, don't.

- Don't what?

Look Sam, it's great that you

guys can get married now.

- Why did you do this?

- Uh, because we love each other?

- Insurance?

- I'm not talking to you. Why, Jeffrey?

- Well, f*** you too, Sam!

- F*** me?

I'm so sick

of your sh*t.

All right, guys,

come on, let's...

What are you

gonna tell us, huh?

That we've turned our backs

on the real fight,

that marriage equality

isn't real equality?

- Well, yes.

- Yeah, well, we've heard it all before, Sam.

Jeffrey, you spent

half your life

fighting to protect

queer culture.

Oh, gimme

a f***ing break.

Marriage is

a straight construct!

- No offense to you guys.

- None taken.

It's about white male privilege

and classism!

Uh, I don't know if you've

noticed, but I'm not white.

- Oh, you are white.

- Oh, now I'm white?

Guys, come on.

What are you arguing about?

You've become them.

Does he mean us?

And who are you to talk

about white privilege?

- That's what you are.

- What I am?

Yeah. You are

a privileged white man.

Okay, we get it. Sam's a white man.

Can we move on now?

I have devoted my life to trying

to do important things.

I have seen a lot, and I

have never stopped fighting.
