What's your problem?
BrianI have no problem. I am problem less. A problem free zone.
BrianI'm not going to their fucking party!
Why not?
BrianBecause I'm going to a fucking party.
BrianI don't think you get it.
What, that someone rejected you? Got the prime piece of meat, it happens to everyone!
[Ted is imagining Brian and Emmett are there after he has sex with Trent]
Congratulations, stud. That's your third time tonight.
Who's keeping score?
I am. Look at him, so smug, so self-satisfied. Now is the perfect time to send him off with his... not-unattractive tail between his legs.
BrianWhat the fuck for? You've got the son of a bitch where you want him, with his ass in the air, and it's not a bad one, I might add.
Don't listen to him! Tell.
BrianWhat the hell does he know? Fuck!
Would you get off my back?!
I made some decisions.
BrianAbout what?
My life.
To be a couple both people have to want the same things, to move in the same direction. If they can't, or won't, they really have nowhere to go.
BrianProbably not.
Then why are we still doing this if we both know it's never going to work?
BrianDamned if I know.
BrianYou infected him! With your petty bourgeois mediocre conformist assimilationist life! Thanks to you he's got visions! Babies, weddings, white picket fences dancing in his blonde little head!
And you think I put them there?
BrianBefore you and your husband tied the noose around your necks, he was perfectly happy! But now, he's a defector! Just like the rest of you!
He was never perfectly happy! Waiting for years for you to say I love you, you're the only one I want!
BrianThat's not who I am!
Don't we all know!
BrianAnd now he's here in your house.
It's a home.
BrianIt's a farce! It's a freak show!
Call it what you want, I honestly don't care. But he didn't leave because I infected him. He left because of you! Who wouldn't?!
BrianYou doing okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. And you?
BrianLikewise, thanks for asking.
Well, I guess I better get going.
BrianMe too. Take care of yourself.
You too.
Come on Brian, you can't fool me. You gotta free yourself of this burden. Release it, let it all hang out!
Brian[Deadpan] My mother is a frigid bitch, my father was an abusive drunk; they had a hateful marriage, which is probably why I am unwilling, or unable, to form a long-term committed relationship of my own. The fact that I drink like a fish, abuse drugs and have more or less redefined promiscuity doesn't help, much. As a result I've lost the two people in my life that mean the most to me. [Referring to Justin and Michael]
There. Don't you feel better.
BrianNo. But I'm sure you do.
BrianYou said that your small, charmless studio would have to do until your country manor came along. I'd hoped this would be all you dreamed of.
And more, but I told you I...
Brian...Won't marry me. Who could blame you? I am , without doubt, the worst candidate for marriage alive, but, conversely, that's also the reason that I'm the best candidate.
And how's that?
BrianBecause, as strongly as I was opposed to the idea, now that I'm behind it, I am as fervently and passionately committed.
Uh huh. And what changed your mind?
BrianI finally thought of one good reason to do it.
And what is that one good reason?
BrianTo prove to the person that I love, how much I love him. That I would give him anything, that I would do anything, be anything, to make him happy.
You bought this? This … palace?
BrianIt's for my prince. I'm also selling the loft and the club.
Without even knowing what my answer would be?
BrianI'm taking a chance on love.
Then you mean it?
BrianI've never meant anything more.
Okay.
BrianOkay?
Let's do it!
BrianSay it.
Yes.
BrianYes, what?
Yes! Yes, I will marry you. I will marry you!
BrianI only have one question. After we're married, will you still blow me?
[Laughs] Ever the romantic! That depends. If you still fuck me in every room of, um, what are we gonna call it? Mandalay? Xanadu? Wuthering Heights?
BrianI'll leave the christening up to you.
Britain.
Brian[Looks confused, before realizing] Bri-Tin!
BrianWouldn't you rather just cuddle?
What?
BrianI said wouldn't you rather just lie here —
No no no, I heard what you said. You said "cuddle"!
BrianSo?
So? I have never ever once heard you use that word, much less actually want to do it.
BrianOkay, can we just turn the lights out?
No, no! Brian Kinney fucks, sucks, rims, rams but never cuddles!
BrianOkay, so I used a word that offends your sensibilities. Forgive me, I apologize. I'll never do it again!
Come on, come on. Shake that groove thing.
BrianYou shake it, Mikey. I'm too...
What? Old? You'll always be young, you'll always be beautiful. You're Brian Kinney, for fuck's sake!
BrianWhen's your flight?
Ten... I think I finally found a place to stay. Daphne has a friend in the East Village... Finding a work space is gonna be difficult. Apparently everything costs a fortune.
BrianWell, you'll manage. You always do.
I'll be back, and you'll come there. We're gonna see each other all the time.
BrianYou don't know that; neither do I. Whether we see each other next weekend or next month, never again, it doesn't matter. It's only time.
You didn't return them?
BrianI didn't return them.
We don't need rings or vows to prove that we love each other. We already know that.
BrianYou did it.
Did what?
BrianBecame the best homosexual you could possibly be.
