Latter Days Page #5

Synopsis: Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss) and Christian Markelli (Wes Ramsey) are perhaps the two most opposite people in the world. Aaron is a passionate young Elder (a Mormon missionary) who wants to do his family and church proud. Christian is a shallow West Hollywood waiter/party boy who only looks forward to what man the next night will bring to him. After Aaron and three other Elders move into the apartment across from his, Christian's friends make a bet that he can't get one of them into the sack, so he instantly latches onto Aaron, suspecting there is more than meets the eye to him. There are two problems, though: Christian finds himself questioning his own identity as he falls in love with Aaron and the Mormon Church treats homosexuality as a sinful lifestyle. When Aaron's burgeoning sexuality is discovered, they will have to go through trials of regret, loss, perseverance, and forgiveness if they want to get to the thing that matters to them most: each other.

Yeah, it kind'a is

Please just go

Um...hi. Is Davis around?

You're too late loverboy..

you'd better betcha they're putting your boyfriends butt

on a plane home this afternoon

and now we have to move again cause we can't live across

from some big doodah flamer homo

thank you very much

You stay! Your friend and I are gonna have a little talk

OK a**hole the way I see it you've got a big mouth

and only one arm to back it up

so how is it going to look when a big flamer kicks

the sh*t out of you

Ryder... tell me where he is

What do you think I wanted to see him get busted?

This may come as a surprise to you

but I actually liked the guy

He took this whole thing serious as a seizure

But we were getting through it OK

So why him? Huh?

did you go f*** him up

He doesn't deserve the kind of grief

he's got coming down the pipe

Nothing was supposed to happen to him

Oh pucky! You were gunning

for something ever since we got here

and if you want to know where he is I want to know why

It was...it was just stupid.. it was just a dumb bet

It's not about that at all

Please

You're too late anyway his flight left 10 minutes ago

Hey... if it's any help... there's a five hour lay-over in Salt Lake

Thanks!

Aaron!

Sorry

God I hate the snow

What are you doing here

I came after you

How could you leave without saying anything

It's not my choice

I'm being sent home in shame

And I'm probably going to be excommunicated

For just a kiss?

Don't get me wrong it was a nice kiss but hey come on

we didn't even get to use our tongues

You wouldn't understand

I'm sorry I'm not... I'm not very good at this

See I've never made a fool out of myself in front

of anyone before

But I've never felt this way before about anyone

in my entire life

What for just some guy you can't have

And then next week you're get to be on to your next conquest

But what if you're not

Huh? What if everything in my entire pathetic life

which I happen to love has led me to this point, right now

What if you are the blinding light

in the middle of the road

that strikes me like the guy in...

...the in the Bible

him!

Paul? Yeah!

And what if everything's changed like that...

And lions lay down with lambs and colours mix with whites...

What if you're the one I have been waiting for my whole life

and I let you go

You have no idea what I'd be giving up

Damnit... what's wrong with you

You want revelations engraved in gold and

angels trumpeting down from heaven

what if this is it in stead

Me telling you I love you, right here..

in the snow

I think that is pretty miraculous

But if you don't... I'll go

you can pretend this was just some coincidence

you can pretend there wasn't some reason we met

That you're sorry I ever walked into your life

God I hate the snow

Ho... door must have froze shut

you boys come in before you freeze too

My we're closing the whole airport because of this storm

How long did we go at it

Two and a half hours

It's OK right?

OK?

That's amazing

I don't know how long you're supposed to do it

You carry a pocket watch!

Just some months

It was actually my great grandfathers

but...

... I don't think you came here for a geneology lesson

You know, I thought you'd be a little more reticent

Well... I'm already going to hell for kissing you so..

I may as well take the scenic route

What God do you believe in

It's not just God...

...it's everything

this... you... tonight

I'm just... turning my back on it all

But you know I guess... a guy like you really doesn't

know what that's like you know..

to be completely cut off

When I was 13 years old my dad...

...he was this macho hot shot banker guy

and I was just this skinny little kid...

who'd been caught trying on his mother's

shoes one too many times

anyway, my dad said he would rather die

than raise a little nellyboy

and I thought I would rather die than be one

So my dad, who'd never been out of the city

in his entire life

decided we're going to go hunt deer

so my dad drags me to this lodge up in the Sierras right...

it's early November

the same as now

and there is this storm rolling in

my dad was so determined that

sissy boy was going to kill something

snow came at us from all sides

the air, the sky, the ground they all became the same

and horrible screaming...white

and I thought we're gonna be OK, right

and then I saw my father's eyes

and they were that same white...

and that's when he did it

And do what?

Ran

He didn't come back for you

Uh uh

But I got calm...

I knew I was going to die

and that's when I heard it

an angel

singing

An angel?

Turned out not to be an angel at all

What was it

Just the wind... over some rocks

A cave

Inside at least I was out of the snow

and I guess I drifted off

when I woke up it was dark

it was still snowing hard and I heard

a noise at the mouth of the cave like a bear

and it grabbed me and it picked me up

and I fought but I was so weak and cold...

all I could do was knock the bear's hood off

Bear had a hood?

Turned out to be a bear only in the sense

of the search and rescue guy was pretty hairy

That's when it got weird

And not until then?

He ripped off all my clothes

and he tore all his clothes off

Sure you weren't delirious?

Then he stuffed us into a sleeping bag

Oh wait... hypothermia... I remember from the boyscout manual

Exactly but I didn't know what to think

I was so... tired

and cold

despite of it all..

I popped the biggest woody ever

And he wrapped those big arms around me

pulled me into that hairy chest

and told me I was OK

That was the first moment in that whole ordeal

I began to cry

I don't blame you I would have been freaked out too

No...

it was joy

I thought I'd rather die than be gay

I got a pretty good idea what dying felt like

But lying there in the arms of that man

I thought if this is what being gay feels like

Bring it on

Come on... let's get you home

Hello?

Oh that's very funny

F*** you Andrew

Boy... where have you been

Salt Lake

OK if you haunt your guys all that way

you had better tell me you won the bet

I think I'm the loser on this one...

Hey hey hey..don't let it get to you...

even Tiger Woods slices now and then

F***ing Andrew!

Is he doing his crackhead telemarketer again?

No he is jerking me around by...

on the offchance just... you didn't happen to give my

demo out to anyone, did you?

Um.. yeah.. this Angel Food guy delivered to him

and he said he was once in the music business but..

you know I thought he might like it

I think he gave it away

To?

Oh Julie oh no I mean he's on heavy medicine

he's loopy anyway

you can't take what he says seriously...

Julie you are hurting my arm

Who did he give it to?

He said he was gonna give it to Clive...

Davis??

Clive Davis?

Oh f*** me I hung up on Clive Davis?

Oh my God answer it

No you answer it..

Answer it!

Au Julie that's the arm that I...

F***ing answer it!
