:14:00
I didn't mean for it
to be a big thing.

:14:02
I assumed you knew.
I mean, I'm a waiter.

:14:04
You saying all waiters
are fags?

:14:07
No.
Just lots of them.

:14:08
Lots of fags are
hairdressers too.

:14:09
And guys who
arrange flowers.

:14:11
And guys who design dresses
and people who make furniture

:14:14
and painters and writers
and composers and...

:14:16
well, anything in the world
that's pretty, we made it.

:14:18
Like mauve kale.
:14:20
We didn't make mauve kale.
We just accessorized it.

:14:26
This is a problem.
:14:27
No!
:14:29
Really!
:14:30
(David)
Are you sure?

:14:31
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.

:14:33
See you tomorrow, then.
:14:35
Night.
:14:37
Tomorrow.
:14:40
[Door closes]
:14:44
Pretty nice for a fag.
:14:46
Yeah.
:14:49
Say you knew someone
quite well,

:14:51
only say you'd never
seen this person.

:14:53
You got to know each other
with letters, the telephone,

:14:55
whatever, and now this person
wanted to meet you,

:14:57
and you really wanted to meet
them, but, say you'd told maybe

:15:00
one or two tiny untruths,
and now you're afraid to meet

:15:02
this person that you know
but have never seen

:15:04
because you're not everything
you said you were.

:15:06
What would you do?
:15:07
Is this one of those
Internet things?

:15:08
Well, yes.
:15:09
You meet guys on the Net?
:15:11
Oh, yeah.
:15:12
The computer's
replaced my vibrator.

:15:14
I don't know what
came over me.

:15:16
He gave me his number, and
as soon as I heard his voice,

:15:18
I lied my fool head off.
:15:20
He sounded just like
my favorite uncle Phil.

:15:23
Uncle Phil damage.
:15:24
What did you tell him?
:15:25
That I was 30.
:15:27
No.
:15:28
Good luck.
:15:29
In the right light.
:15:30
If I've had
lots of sleep.

:15:31
And they've had
lots of heroin.

:15:32
Shannon, please!
:15:33
What are you
going to do?

:15:34
Stun him, stick him
in the freezer

:15:36
until I've had
cosmetic surgery.

:15:38
(David)
Tell him the truth.

:15:40
Oh, I hate my mother.
:15:42
Why weren't we warned?
:15:43
Too busy ironing.
:15:47
So how's
the tip money?

:15:50
Fine.
:15:52
Just let me come
and check it out.

:15:54
I'll pretend not
to know you.

:15:57
I'll write something
nice about it in the column.
