Looking: The Movie Page #9

---

What are we talking about?

About Patrick being

a shitty gay!

Richie:
Brady,

what the f***? Stop it!

Oh, God!

I love it when gays argue

with other gays

about being gays.

Oh, it's fine.

That's awesome.

Brady thinks he's

the grand minister of queer.

The leader of the gay

thought police.

Uh, it's called having a brain

that thinks about things.

Sorry if I want us

to be a little better.

Okay, both of you, enough.

Wow. Okay. It's a little

frustrating that sometimes

Brady thinks there's only

one way to be gay,

and that way

is his way.

I'm just sick

of people like you

giving us a bad name, okay?

You would think that

if there was such a thing

as "us," there'd be

a little more solidarity.

Well, maybe

you don't deserve it.

Brady, seriously,

what the f***?

I will never understand

why you're so intent

on making me feel bad

because I can't live up

to some ideal that

I'll never live up to because

it just isn't who I am!

If-- if you feel bad,

that's probably not my fault.

Enough, okay?

I'm sorry. Richie,

you're right. I'm sorry.

Brady, I apologize, okay?

And I promise to read

more of your articles

and hope that one day,

I can finally learn

how to be gay and be

as perfectly adjusted as you!

Yeah, f*** you!

F*** you back!

Richie:
All right, that's it.

We're out of here.

Why are you taking his side?

I'm not.

Then why does it feel

like you are?

This has nothing

to do with--

Fine, yeah.

Then-- then what

is it about then?

This is about you

being too drunk,

and this is a party

for Eddie and Agustn,

and it has nothing to do

with how you feel

about Patrick.

Well--

Or how he feels

about you, for that matter.

Typical that

you would take his...

Do you wanna be with him?

What?

Is that what this is?

After all the sh*t

he's put you through?

Okay, you know what?

We're out of here.

Because I can guarantee,

he will do nothing

but break your heart again.

Okay?

That your plan?

What?

You wanna fly in here

on your private jet

and steal

my f***ing boyfriend?

Of course not.

Let's get the f***

out of here.

You're not gonna

come, are you?

Come on, let's go.

Are you okay, bud?

He was just jealous.

What?

Everyone can see there's

something between you guys.

There's nothing between us.

We don't have anything,

yet I have managed to

f*** things up for him again.

Okay, that was totally

not your fault.

I could have just

shut the f*** up.

Why can't I ever

just shut the f*** up?

Oh, sh*t, girl. You all right?

Hey, wait a second,

you have a private jet?

How come you're

so f***ing ashamed

that you have a private jet?

That's a legitimate question.

All right, let's just

stop this, okay?

I didn't come here just

to ruin everybody's weekend.

Oh, well...

Paddy, you don't

have to say that--

I do, I do, I do.

Let's just dance.

Can we please just dance?

All:
Yes! Yeah! Okay!

Let's just all make

our way to the dance floor

and dance, all right?

Come on.

Let's do it.

Sorry, sorry...

(sighs)

F***.

You would never

call me baby

If you knew me true

Oh, but I waited

So long

For your love

I am scared, baby

That I can't keep

it up for long

Oh, I wish I grew up

The second I first

held you in my arms

Underneath this hood

you kiss

I tick like a bomb

You would never

call me baby

If you knew me true

Oh, but I waited

So long for your love

I will fight, baby

Not to do you wrong

I should tell you something.

What?

I'm thinking about

leaving San Francisco.

What do you mean?

I've been thinking about it

for a long time.

Me and Brady were

even talking about it--

Do you mean, like...

actually leaving,

like, for good?

You did it.

You had the guts to do it.

Yeah, but I...

I think I was just...

just running away.

Who cares?

Sometimes running away is

exactly what you need to do.

But you were born here.

This is your home.

I mean, you've

always been here.

Exactly.

Everyone else gets to

come here and start new.

I've...

I've never had that.

Where are you gonna go?

I have some family in Texas.

What are you gonna

do in Texas?

I can take the truck.

I can work.

At least there,

I might get to do more

than just fades

and hipster bullshit.

(chuckles)

Better not go

to Austin then.

(chuckles)

You know, it's...

it's funny or ironic

or something

that you're thinking

about leaving because...

just today, I, uh...

I was offered

a job back here.

Sh*t.

What?

I don't want you to do that.

What?

Come back here.

I need to do this, and I...

I don't need

the temptation to stay.

I...

I gotta get my head straight

'cause right now, it's...

all over the f***in' place.

There's so much that

I need to sort out.

Like what?

I've been in a relationship

for a year with a guy

that I wasn't in love with.

I think...

right now, I just

need to be alone.

I get that.

I-- I...

I totally get that.

I get your desire

to be alone.

I mean, it's...

That's what I've just done

for the last nine months.

But at the same time...

being back here,

I've realized that...

being alone isn't all

it's cracked up to be.

Yeah, well...

we aren't the same person.

Well, we're not

that different either.

I mean, wouldn't you like

to be with someone

while you work

through your sh*t?

Someone who understands you,

someone who cares

about you?

Pato.

I mean, that way

you have someone

to hang out with, right?

You against the world.

(chuckles)

You got someone to...

make out with.

(chuckles)

Someone to sit on the sofa

and eat take-out with.

Someone to...

get old and gray and...

(chuckles)

I don't know,

watch "The Goonies" with.

(imitates Sloth)

Hey, you guys.

Oh, my God!

You saw it!

Yeah.

Twice.

You saw it twice?

Wow, you must've liked it.

(both chuckle)

Okay, so...

What are we gonna do?

This is...

this is insane.

I just broke up with Brady

not even two hours ago.

I...

I can't...

I can't do this now.

I know, I know, I know.

And if you want me to

shut up, I will, but...

if that's the case...

then why did you

come back tonight?

Why did you...

Why'd you come back

to the EndUp?

What are you suggesting we do?

I'm not going to Denver,

that's for sure, and...

(laughs)

I really need to

get out of here.

Then...

How about I come to Texas?

What?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll come...

I'll come with you

or I'll-- I'll go there

after you've gotten settled.

And do what?

You have a job in Denver.

You have another job

lined up here.

Yeah, well, I can

work remotely.

I'll do my own thing.

I've always wanted to do that.

I-- They--

Do they have

computers in Texas?

(both chuckle)

And what happens

when you've sobered up, huh?

And the wedding's over, and...

you've lost this, you know,

sense of romance?

Is that what

you're scared of?

Of course I am.

I have met you.

(scoffs)

What happens

when you freak out?

Again? I-- I am...

so sick of taking care

of people.

I just-- I-- I--

I don't want to do that again.

I don't need you to
