Friends & Lovers Page #8

Synopsis: Friends for ten years, a group of twenty-somethings head for the ski slopes as guests of Ian's father. (Ian and dad are estranged because dad worked too many hours when Ian was a lad.) Dad has something to say, but Ian won't listen. Meanwhile, David is gay and virginal; Ian's business partner, Keaton, is unhappy that his sister Jane is pregnant with no plans to tell the father; Lisa is everybody's pal and no one's lover; John, stuck in adolescence, is always on the make. He brings German-born stunner, Carla, and promptly loses her affection to Hans, a fast-talking ski instructor. David meets Manny: they have chess in common. Soon, surprises abound as relationships take new turns.

You blow this for me,

I will bust a cap in your ass,

and I will

go have a quiet lunch.

Capisce?

Capisce.

Where are you from?

And then I'll tell you

what you surely know

I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you

I love you

I love you, I love you

I love you

so.

How do you like the cigar?

I like it almost

as much as that song.

Jon...

Let me ask you something,

Richie.

What do you do when you've

tried and tried and...

Tried again?

You let go.

[Begins playing]

[Smack]

Okay. oh, yes.

Come on. That's right.

I'm a bad boy.

We're working. This is working.

Smack my ass,

even though I'm done.

Okay.

Oh, scheie. Oh, yes!

So, um, when'd you

figure out you were gay?

Probably the same time you

figured out you were straight.

Thank you.

So, like, um, what do you do?

I told you.

I art-direct computer games.

No, I mean, like with guys.

You mean in bed?

In or out of bed.

Well, uh...

Out of bed, I do pretty much

what we're doing now.

And in bed?

Whatever comes to mind.

No, no, no. I think it's good.

I think it's good, Jon.

I think you have a real

flair for languages.

Just let me hear it again.

[Guttural sounds]

It's... that's not quite it.

Ich liebe dich.

It's very soft.

You're saying, "I love you."

Say it beautifully.

Ich liebe dich.

Richard:
that's closer.

Jon:
ich liebe dich.

Richard:
that's not too good.

It's not so guttural.

Ich liebe dich.

It's very soft.

Ich liebe...

Ok, that's a German with a

cleft palate, but that's ok.

No, you'll be fine. No, no.

Relax. I'm kidding.

Ich liebe dich.

You think it'll work?

If anything will work, this...

You coming back?

We're going.

Ich liebe dich.

Oh!

Oh, thank you

for a wonderful time.

No, thank you.

What's going on?

We're going to get married.

Yes, is it not wonderful?

Richard:
all the

luck in the world.

Very well. Jon, auf wiedersehen.

Good night. Gute nacht.

Thanks.

Check.

Merry f***ing Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you, Jon.

And mate.

Good game.

But next time, your ass is mine.

Whatever you say.

F*** you, man.

I'm not down with that.

Take me home.

Why do you have to be

a homo, huh?

I can't help it!

So tell me:

I mean, what's it even

like to kiss a guy?

It's been so long,

I don't remember.

What's it like to kiss a girl?

You don't even know what

it's like to kiss a girl?

Well, I mean...

I...

Kissing a girl is a lot softer.

Yeah, definitely softer.

Wow.

You know,

what you said yesterday,

you really ought to say to Ian.

I'm planning to.

It worked on me.

Yeah.

[Door opens] What is that?

[Closes]

Cold outside.

Very cold.

Definitely.

Can I get you something?

Would you like some coffee?

Uh, no, I'm gonna turn in.

Night.

'Fraid that puts you

Oh, Jesus. Oh, man.

Whoop! oh!

Carla. heh.

Oh, whoa! Dad, you know what?

You kinda... you gotta pay a little

more attention to the, uh...

To the, uh... the coffee here.

Actually,

with this kind of machine,

it works pretty well

with a filter.

So, uh...

There we go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hot!

Whew! hot. Hot.

Uh...

Actually, you might want
