Dirty Weekend Page #6

Hey, cabby.

How's it going?

All good, my man.

You know this area pretty well?

Of course.

It's Albuquerque.

I know Albuquerque.

Uh-huh. Great.

Uh... You know a place called...

called Zorro?

You ever hear of that before?

I-it's meant to be

around here somewhere.

The gay place.

Uh...

Yeah.

Maybe. Could be.

If you're talking about Zorro,

the gay place,

I know where it is.

But it's not... it's not, uh...

it's not just a gay club, is it?

I mean, I-I thought

it was m-more...

exclusively.

Ah.

Super gay.

Got it.

Hey. We haven't found her yet.

Here...

here's $20 for now.

And I'll give you the rest

when we're sure.

I mean,

they let chicks in there,

so it's not racist or anything.

But it is mostly for the gays.

I see. Okay.

Cool.

Is that where

you two want to go?

Um... Well, we're, uh...

oh, all right.

Yeah, that would be good.

Take us there.

Just say the word, friend.

Yes. Please. Zorro.

Racist?

I vote we just let it go.

Thanks, buddy.

Hey there. Hello.

How are we today?

Pretty good. Not too bad.

Fine. Thanks.

You guys know this is

an applebee's, right?

Mm. Oh, yeah, yeah.

We get it.

Okay. Good.

You know,

we're aware of the, uh...

The what?

You know.

Sorry. What?

Well, this a gay bar, right?

Let me check.

Hey, folks,

is this here a gay bar?

Gee. I'm not sure.

Guess you're gonna have to find

that one out all on your own.

So, I'll have a Martini...

vodka, not gin...

and the same, I think,

for my colleague here.

You got it, sugar. Thank you.

So, does any of this

look familiar?

Mhh...

Do you recognize anybody?

Well, what would the chances

of that be?

You know, les, life is funny.

Mhh.

Okay.

Did you want to carry a tab

or pay up?

Oh.

I-I'll run a tab for a minute.

Thank you. You got it, sister.

Cheers.

So, what about you?

Hmm?

Your relationship.

I told you that it's private.

Yeah, but...

And it is.

I know. I know.

But you told me about it.

Well, not about it...

that I do it,

that it's my lifestyle, but I...

I'm still not open

to discussing it.

I see.

Sorry.

It's not like earth-shaking news

I'm asking here.

I mean,

I already know the big stuff.

I'm just curious.

I mean, how long

have you guys been together?

Oh, uh...

Awhile...

Maybe a year this time.

And is that exclusive or...

I-I don't really

know how these things work.

What things?

Well, you know,

things where two people

are in love,

but there are, uh, accessories.

You know, ropes,

stuff like that.

I've seen pictures

of this stuff, and...

and sometimes

other people are there.

Where?

What pictures have you seen?

Well, just, you know,

magazines and the Internet.

I mean, I suppose it might be

true for some people,

but it's not true for us.

All right, all right,

I get that.

She's, uh...

very possessive,

so I shouldn't... I...

I'm actually not... I...

do you mind

if we don't discuss it?

Sure. Yeah. Okay.

Thanks.

Good.

But have you two ever...

les, don't be a perv.

No, no, I-I'm not talking about

the bondage part.

I'm just saying, as people,

a-as two people

in a relationship...

Well...

Have you ever cheated

on each other?

That's all.

That's all I wanted to know.

Because I told you what I did.

So I thought maybe

you might want to,

uh...

But that's fine.

You don't have to say anything.

It doesn't matter.

It's not gonna change

what I did, so, uh...

Mhh.

Yes.

Sorry?

She cheated on me once.

Oh.

She says once. I think once.

Got it.

There's just no way

of knowing with her

if she's telling the truth

or not, you know?

Yeah. And...

and that bothers you.

Yes, it f***ing bothers me.

Of course it f***ing bothers me.

Okay.

I have to wear a f***ing collar.

And sometimes I can't breathe

and it chokes me.

So, that bothers me.

And then I have to cover it up

at work,

so I get really hot

all the time.

So, that f***ing bothers me.

So, yes, the whole f***ing thing

bothers me, les.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I don't want to talk about her,

though.

Yeah. Yeah. I get that.

At all.

All right.

You're an idiot.

You made me tell you

way more than you've told me.

Well, no, no. I had to pull

that sh*t out of you earlier.

No, that's not... that's not true.

Yes, I did.

I had to f***ing

pull it out of you.

No. Absolutely not.

Sort of.

Yeah. See?

Hey, sweetie.

Can I have a chardonnay?

Yeah.

Traitor, les. You're a traitor.

You said it yourself.

Here you go. Thanks.

I quite like it here.

It's nice. It's cozy.

Oh, I don't know.

No, this isn't my kind of thing.

It's not my...

not my style, my... You know...

This place... I'm not, uh...

Hmm.

I can tell I'm, uh...

It's not my style,

you know, not my lifestyle.

I, uh... I can feel it...

Mm... Sitting here.

I don't like men.

Ah. And I've lived long enough

to know that.

Mm.

That's good.

Yeah. No. But I don't.

I mean, uh...

Yeah, I really don't.

Mm.

I mean, sure, there are men

that you see from time to time

at certain points and, uh...

I mean, just 'cause I'm a man

doesn't mean that I can't...

I mean,

I see an attractive person,

a guy, and I can say,

"oh, yeah, well...

well,

he's a good-looking dude."

I think it's okay

to feel that way.

It doesn't mean you're gay.

That's just someone

being honest,

you know, being... being open.

And I think that's healthy.

Yeah. Yeah. That's healthy.

Yeah. That ever happen to you?

What?

Do you ever see a guy and...

And what?

Feel something. Well, yeah.

That that guy's cute,

something like that.

Well, yeah, I mean, I'm a girl,

and I used to f*** guys, so...

So, then that

doesn't make you, uh,

whatever that would make you...

straight.

Okay. I mean, I see

where you're going with it.

Okay. So, it's not a crime

to feel that way.

I mean, I don't sit here

in the corner of this place

and look around and think,

"oh, man, I-I got to...

I have to kiss a man

or touch his thing,"

or that kind of deal, you know?

It doesn't even enter my mind.

Mm.

So, that's really

what I wanted to say to you.

I'm... I'm not gay.

I'm not...

I'm not a gay person.

Okay. That's all.

That's good, isn't it?

Yes, very good.

Good.

It's good

to get to the bottom of that.

Yeah.

Cheers. Yeah.

I think it's very good

that we came here...

Mm... To prove that.

I think it was worth it.

I'm gonna use the toilet,

and then I think we should,

uh... we should go.

Les.

Hmm?

Be careful in there.

You a Lakers fan?

Maybe they can turn the channel

on one of those tv's.

We can watch

the end of the game.

No, no, no, no.

It's just like...

this dude and me all day.

Wow. All day?

Yeah, all day.

Hey, uh...

you ready?

Yeah. I just moved over here.

Just give me one minute.

Yeah. Sure.

Hello there.

Hey.

We were just talking.

Yes. Yes. Obviously.

Les, I'll see you outside.

Right. Okay.

I'm gonna go, um,

make a phone call or something.

He's my work colleague.

And you brought him here.

I did bring him here.

Why are you toying with...
