The Last Straight Man Page #7

God!

I do, Lewis!

I love you so much!

This, this was supposed

to be the night, man.

The night?

[Sigh]

The night!

The night!

The night I told you I

wanted us to be together.

I've known that you wanted this.

I've known it for a long time.

You got a wife, Coop.

And children.

It would destroy them.

They need you.

But don't you need me?

I used to.

But now--

You've got Bernie.

Yeah.

Look at me.

We've always been able

to read each other.

Question three.

Are you telling me the

truth about Bernie?

Yes.

So your answer for me is--

Cooper, remember when

you told me about your dad

leaving, how it made you feel?

Why would you do

that to your kids?

You're not your father.

You're not gonna do

this to your family.

And soulmate or not,

they are your family.

They love you.

That's more important than us.

That sounds like one

of your $3.95 paperbacks.

$4.95!

$13.95 hardcover.

I beg your forgiveness.

Seriously, I'm sorry.

For what?

You've got someone.

I've got someone.

L'm haPPY-

YOu?

Yeah, as long as

you're a part of my life.

I better go.

Go now.

You know, you can keep these.

Thanks.

Next year.

We'll see.

Love you, Lewis.

I love you, Coop.

Why is our love

impossible, Stephen asked.

We are meant to be one.

It is not our destiny,

Jenny replied.

I will not be the one

to destroy your family.

They love you.

And if that is meant to be

and we are not, so be it.

[knocking]

Good evening, sir.

May I bring this in?

I didn't order anything.

Compliments of the house, sir.

Wow, this looks amazing.

But it's way too much

food here for one person.

Oh, I just got off work, sir.

You were my last

delivery of the night.

Would you care for

some dessert, Bernie?

Thank you.

Uh, my name's

Lewis, by the way.

Yes, I know.

Very nice to meet you, sir.

Oh, it looks like you've

already got something to drink.

Open her up.

I've always hated whiskey.
