Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom Page #3

Synopsis: Noah, Alex, Ricky, Chance and their significant others travel to Martha's Vineyard for a weekend wedding getaway. Drama ensues as one-by-one their relationships start to crack under the pressure of closer examination. Newly successful screenwriter Noah looks to his friends for advice as he prepares to move his relationship to a more serious level while struggling to keep his first studio movie alive. But the friends are of little help as they juggle their own issues. Elder statesmen Chance and Eddie attempt to scratch their seven-year itch but worry their marriage has permanently lost its spark. And playboy Ricky flaunts his barely legal college student fling in the face of his monogamous friends but hides a surprising secret that threatens to rock the house. Add to the mix Alex's crazy-making wedding prep, a closeted superstar rapper, a high-maintenance studio exec, and a surprise visitor and you've got the makings of a hilarious and poignant romantic comedy.

Martha's Vineyard.

Get away from the tree.

Breakfast in bed for the happy couple!

Alex.

Is not this fun, baby? Pancakes, maple syrup ...

... bacon, scrambled eggs,

hard-boiled ...

... toast, coffee,

tea, orange juice ...

... my mom's cookies

candied yams and my ...

... and you'd better eat it all.

Enjoy it!

Breakfast in bed!

They are at 5:
50 a.m.

Breakfast!

I think Ricky and Brandon escaped.

They were probably walking.

Or for a car ride.

Ricky's car is not.

They say, fled.

Damn, are they getting fatter?

Alex, are sweet potatoes for breakfast?

Chance, how many times

I tell you?

The sweet potatoes are the new

for breakfast. Magazine "O".

Now eat it today

need all your strength ...

... because you have to

millions of things. Yes?

Care.

That was close.

Great.

They say they can not deliver samples of bed linen ...

... or Doric columns.

Farewell to my temple Arcadio as the theme for the wedding.

You know what time is it, Alex?

- Yes, 6:
01.

- No, L.A. It's 3 a.m.

So? Just as you feed your baby.

Hello, O.J.!

What are you doing up so late?

You know your dad must go

to work tomorrow to make money ...

... so you can buy something when you return.

What?

Recently, your look.

Sounds like a total stranger.

No, no, no, it's good.

It means that even ...

Still fascinates me.

You're still my man of mystery.

You are so weird.

And by the way ...

... the answer to that question you ask last night is yes.

I would like to have children ...

... but not soon.

Boy, can that

want to download.

Idiot!

Does this seem red?

I said red roses, not lavender,

pink, green, or those colors!

- Are you colorblind?

- Sorry, Mr. Kirby ...

... but the order

says "lavender".

If there is any problem,

call the store.

Alex, purple is my favorite color.

I guess it will pretty

with the costumes.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Take care.

What now?

- Take care, okay?

- Okay.

Where were you, Ricky?

- I could not sleep, so ...

- Can we take him to the backyard?

Beware, beware. Come on.

Eddie, Eddie, beware with flowers.

Put them there. Well.

Well, b*tch, what happened?

I could not sleep, so I went for a walk in the park ...

... the other side of the island.

- Let's skip the preamble dishonest.

You were in the woods for Men.

Despite having a young adorable in your room.

- I saw this guy and...

- Do we need to hear this?

No, but we want to.

Well, when we were, you know, the police appeared.

The guy got away, and I remained alone.

- Ricky ...

- Wait, wait, wait. Improve.

I spent the night in jail for public indecency.

I hope Wade's family does not find out ...

... on this offense at your door.

It is a misdemeanor.

And the best part is that the night Sergeant was attractive.

And I liked it.

So I've got two guys on a night and a free trip home.

Which reminds me that someone should take me to the park ...

... to pick up my rental car.

Bravo, Ricky.

On my wedding weekend?

Really?

It's your wedding, not mine.

Damn!

If another person and not Ricky, I'd swear he was jealous.

I hope the weather clears before the wedding.

Oh, sh*t.

Sh*t!

- Sh*t, sh*t!

- What?

Reset the pages I worked the last two hours.

I said, save often.

- That does not help me.

- What works, Professor?

The paradigms of the free market capitalist consumerism ...

... and individual freedom seen through the eyes of a slave ...

... on the auction block.

- Well, it seems profound.

It is. Overall

I hope to release ...

... black gay men controlling forces of both ...

... the free market mentality where slavery is rooted ...

... and attitudes of hatred to one induced under the same models ...

... current psychoanalysis.

- It's so amazing.

When was the last time well you get excited about us?

What has my book to do with our marriage?

God, I go crazy.

If this has to do with me because I

have spent the night with you ...

Would you mind giving us a moment?

Yes, sure, Mr. Macintyre.

It has nothing to do with

last night, Brandon.

Lose those pages you more angry

that the idea of losing your marriage.

Is it the real you?

Your husband and your daughter are just decoration ...

... for your intellectual vocation?

Yes they were, then this marriage ...

... will never work because I need ...

... for us to be your center.

So?

Eddie, I ...

I do not know.

Well, you thought, or else ...

Or if not what?

What's so funny?

I discovered something.

Why do you do what you do.

The sex is just a distraction.

What?

Of truth.

And what would the truth, exactly?

You're in love with Noah.

Nice try, Brandon, but I am too big for mind games ...

... and you're too young for them.

- Then I dare you.

- What?

Kiss him. Now.

Go up and kiss him. Then tell me I'm wrong.

Because I've seen how you look ...

... and I've seen the way that it supports the body.

I have 19 years, but I know

much more about love than you, Ricky.

Go to hell.

What is this?

It's for you. It is an early wedding present.

"How to Save Your Gay Marriage?"

Alex, still we are not married.

What are you trying to make us?

Prevention. I'm sure it will fabulous and perfect marriage.

Well, thanks, I guess.

How do I look?

- I ...

- Yes?

- What was that?

- Nena, she freaks.

That's what makes you sucking cock in the park.

Especially if they are large.

- What was that?

- Why ask me everything?

They have to prove my soup.

Honey, is a bomb.

It is my great-grandmother's recipe.

Damn. What?

The tension is so thick as the bread that made Chance.

- I like bread, Professor.

- Thanks, Brandon.

Consent of teacher.

Must be the Pet Store.

"Pet Shop?

Where is my friend, Noah?

Where is my writer?

- "Baby Gat?

- Is the rapper?

He is the protagonist

Kind of neat.

Will you give me an autograph?

No, but you can stick your cock in your butt, if you want.

You can not tell anyone, Brandon.

John R. Gordon

John R Gordon (born 1964) is a white gay writer and resident of Shepherds Bush, London, England, whose work - novels, plays, screenplays and biography - centers black characters and explores the complex, subtle and troubling intersections of race, sexuality and class. With Rikki Beadle-Blair he founded and runs queer-of-colour-centric indie press Team Angelica.
