Not a friend. Just... just this guy.

It's crazy, huh? The way that people can...

Hey, do you need help getting out?

I can show you the way. It's easy.

It's no problem. It's this way...

What is this?

The laundry?

Dude, this is the basement.

Where's the way out?

Look, man...

It's right there. It's right there.

I just...

I just wanted to...

I just want to ask you something, okay?

Okay.

Dude! Ask!

Look, I'm not a fag, alright?

Alright.

I mean.... I have a wife and a baby girl.

That's great...

But you... see, you?...

You're not... I mean...

you're not like... like...

Like what?

Like those guys!

Those f***ing faggots down the hall.

I f***ing hate those guys!

They make me sick.

But... you and me?...

We're both men.

What?

I wanna suck you off.

Oh man...

I knew this was some fag sh*t.

I told you, I'm not a fag!

Alright. You're not a fag.

So, where'd you wanna?...

Here?

I dunno, man.

We can hear if someone comes.

We can totally hear.

And I can pay you!

40 bucks... Ooo, 45! 45 bucks!

And you just wanna suck it?

'cause I don't get f***ed,

or kiss or none of that fag sh*t!

I know, I know, it's cool... it's cool.

Come here.

Slow down.

Turn around.

Dude! I told you I don't get f***ed!

I wanna eat your ass.

Turn around!

You like that...

Mmm, love it.

Mmmm.... mmm... mmm... oh... oh...

ooooohhhhhhh!

You really go for that ass....

I never really went for that, but...

Dude...

Hey!

Watch it, punk!

Here we are.

Welcome to "Attic Central".

Why don't you sit over here, huh?

Alright, let's see what we have here...

Tilt your head back...

Hold this up.

Just a little pressure... there you go...

I'll be right back.

I guess you're a night owl, huh?

I never sleep. Sleep is for the young.

Don't you want to sleep?

Oh, I'd love it.

"To sleep, perchance to dream..."

Nope. Instead, it's laundry.

Laundry and books.

They make pills for that.

What? For laundry?

To sleep.

They have pills for everything.

Let's see...

Well, the bleeding stopped.

Yeah, I think so.

Did he break it?

No, no, it's still there.

Good.

I'd hate to see that magnificent mug

of yours mauled and maimed!

Time will do enough of that.

Believe me.

Here, let me take this.

You know, they say we all get the face

we deserve by the time we reach 40.

Oh, is that right?

Is that what they say?

Well, I stopped worrying about that a long time ago.

Okay, let's see...

...eh, I think you'll live.

The guy really clobbered you!

No!

I had him right where I wanted him!

- Is that so?

-Yeah.

If you hadn't showed up,

he'd have been toast.

Well, I'm sorry I interrupted you!

Oh, that's alright.

And what do we call you,

my foundling from the basement?

- Jeff.

- Jeff. Nice to meet you, Jeff.

- I'm Sam.

- Nice to meet you.

There we go.

Good as new.

Ok, hold that there.

These fill up so fast!

I thought up here in the attic,

I might escape the noise.

Top floor apartment...

Rent Controlled. No noise.

But I didn't count on rain.

"Water, water everywhere;

not a drop to drink."

I wish I had a jungle up here.

A jungle full of plants...

plants to soak up all this water.

You know where that goes.

Medicine time.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

No, really, thank you.

Drink your medicine.

So...

What were you boys doing down there?

It didn't look like laundry.

Oh man... it's a... it's a long story.

Alright.

Well, let's see...

Oh, well, first of all, I've been trying to

get out of this building for like, an hour!

Trying to get out of the building....

Yeah! I can't get free of this place!

It's an apartment building.

It isn't purgatory.

I know, but...

I keep getting lost or sidetracked...

This place is like a maze.

It's like a labyrinth.

Well, which is it?

A labyrinth or a maze?

What's the difference?

A maze is a trap.

A labyrinth goes somewhere.

Let me ask you something.

Is every man in this apartment building gay?

I mean, is it something in the water or what?

I don't know.

I'm sure there are a few straight guys

walking around here, somewhere.

But... this is the gayest building

on the gayest street in town.

Is that a problem?

No.

Are you gay?

As pink ink.

So...

So, I'm in the hallway and...

...this guy says he can

show me the way out.

Well...

...then what happened?

He leads me down to the basement, and...

Yes...

Well, first of all, he goes out of

his way to tell me he's not gay.

I see.

And then he tells me

he wants to suck my cock!

The guy who beat you...

He didn't beat me.

He hit me.

He cold-cocked me

out of the blue, the dick!

Oh, really?

I tell you...

He had that look in his eyes like...

...he really wanted to kill me.

And he probably did... poor guy.

I'll be alright.

Not you... him!

He's the "poor guy"?

Look at my face!

You're just lost.

He's the one who's trapped.

How's he trapped?

What? You mean because

he thinks he's not a man?

'Cause he craves the cock,

but he's living this lie? Is that it?

Because then, who is he? Right?

I mean, no one...

who can know who he is?

And you, sir?

What?

"Who are you?", one wonders.

I'm just a guy.

Just a guy...

And how do you see yourself?

You mean, as a man?

You mean, am I a gay man?

I don't know...

I guess so, I mean, I suck cock.

Well, that's a start!

Yeah, and I ain't ashamed of it, either.

Well, good for you.

I like having sex with guys.

I like turning 'em on...

getting f***ed.

What kind of guys?

Pretty much anybody.

But I'm not... I'm not gay.

You know, I mean, I am, but...

I don't go to parades.

And I'm not wrapped up in rainbows.

I don't wanna get married.

So you're not politicized.

Yeah.

But the very act of loving a man

is itself, a political statement...

...don't you think?

I've never loved a guy.

You haven't loved a guy, yet.

Okay. I haven't loved a guy, yet.

And I've had sex with girls.

Well, whoop-dee-doo! Me too!

But you said you were gay.

You know what?

F*** gay!

Yeah, "F*** gay!"

F*** it!

I don't believe in it!

Well, it believes in you.

You know, guys like me

fought on the front line...

...so that guys like you could enjoy the

luxury of feeling so ambivalent.

Still get punched....

Yeah, still get punched.

So... you're not gay.

Maybe you're just... queer?

Maybe.

Or maybe you're just a traveler... a sightseer...

Maybe.

A nomadic explorer...

Maybe, I'm just a dude.

Maybe you're just a tourist.

Or maybe I'm just a whore.

Maybe...

Now, when you say... "whore"...

Oh God!

Old man, you really like to f***.

You have no idea how much...

...how much... how much I needed that

Oh mama!

Hey, don't... stop...

Alright, you better stop....

Here you go.

Oh, mama!

That is one sweet ass, son!

You have made this old man

very happy, son.

Old guys f*** the best.

Is that right?

Yeah... yeah...

Why is that?

I don't know... uh...

They care, you know,

how it feels.

Younger guys, they just...

Well, it's very nice of you to say.

But, I'm afraid I'd be just like them
