The Boys in the Band Page #12

Synopsis: It's Harold's birthday, and his closest friends throw him a party at Michael's apartment. Among Harold's presents is "Cowboy", since Harold may have trouble finding a cute young man on his own now that he's getting older. As the party progresses the self-deprecating humor of the group takes a nasty turn as the men become drunker. Climaxed by a cruel telephone "game" where each man must call someone and tell him (or her?) of his love for them.

any possibility

of just flushing

this place?

Where are you going?

There's a midnight Mass

at St. Malachy's.

I thought I'd

walk over and catch it.

Well, pray for me.

Maybe they'll be gone

when I get back.

Well, I will be...

just as soon as I knock off

this bottle of brandy.

Will I see you

next Saturday?

Unless you have other plans.

No.

Michael.

What?

Did he ever tell you why

he was crying on the phone?

What it was

he had to tell you?

No.

It must have been

that he'd left Fran.

Or maybe it was

something else,

and he changed

his mind.

Uh, maybe so.

I wonder why he left her.

As my father said to me

when he died in my arms...

"I don't understand any of it.

I never did."

Turn the lights off

when you leave.
