AARON *

Yeah, we got a small outfit over *

there. Nothing like this. *

SERGIO *

AARON *

Well, you’re a busy guy --*

SERGIO *

I remember everything. *

He HITS a button. *

SERGIO (CONT’D) *

Andrea, baby! *

Andrea POKES HER HEAD IN. *

SERGIO (CONT’D) *

Aaron smiles at her with all his might. She can’t believe *

he’s lying. *

RECEPTIONIST *

Yeah. But it was a while ago. *

SERGIO *

Alright, baby. Go now, go. *

She leaves. *

SERGIO (CONT’D) *

Take Aaron. I always like to chat *

with my new guys before they start *

up here. Who’s your idol? Like, *

who do you hope to be in thirty

years.

AARON *

Lifestyle wise.

SERGIO *

What is that? Lifestyle like how? *

AARON:

Like I’m not gay.

SERGIO *

I am.

AARON:

That’s crazy. I’m actually gay aswell.

SERGIO *

You just said you weren’t.

AARON:

I know, I just didn’t know howyou’d respond or whatever. It’s so

nice to be working for a fellow gay

guy. Are you out because I’ve read *

almost everything about you --*

SERGIO *

Don’t you worry about that. How *

long have you known you were gay?

AARON:

I realized when I was ten or

thirteen. I would play sports withthe guys and I realized I didn’tjust want to play sports with them.

I wanted to kiss them on the

mouth.

SERGIO *

Oh, yeah. I remember that. So are *

you in a relationship now?

AARON:

Not anyone specifically. I’ll make

out with four strangers in a night.

AARON (CONT'D)

Like last night I was at this gaybar and I had sex with this guy wholooked exactly like Ryan Gosling,

probably was him if you know what Imean, and, well, I’ll probablynever see him again. How about

you? What bars do you frequent?

SERGIO *

I’ve been with the same man for two

decades.

AARON:

Honestly, last night, I think I *

found the dude I’m going to spend *

the rest of my life with. Looks *

exactly like Ryan Seacrest but like *

more toned. *

SERGIO *

Does it look like I give a f***? *

AARON *

Honestly no. *

(then) *

Look, Columbia Vancouver was chump *

change. I’ve come to play in the *

big leagues. I’ve got connects at *

the Whiskey Lounge, Spaceland, the *

Smell, et cetera. I will do *

anything to prove my worth to you. *

Anything, Serge. *
