Dorian Blues Page #3

Synopsis: Coming-of-age. A small-town young man realizes why he's such a misfit - he's gay! Adolescence is proving a pain for the always-thinking Dorian. He's an outcast and the butt of classmates' fag jokes at high school. He's different and understands why when he reaches the conclusion that he's a "stereotypical gay." He soon announces this discovery to his homophobic, Nixon-loving dad. As Dad throws him out of the house, Dorian's off to NYU to encounter a new world of coffee houses, sophisticates and handsome men.

all trying to tell me?

The only difference between

my mother and the Berlin Wall?

Some people got

past that wall.

Well, that night I decided someone

was going to hear me say it.

So before Nick left for this big

party I made him the lucky someone.

Don't freak out.

Please, don't freak out.

Thank you for

not freaking out.

How many people have

you told this to?

- Nobody.

- Don't. Ever.

Do you understand me?

Don't ever talk like

this around anybody.

Jesus Christ man, if Dad

ever heard this sh*t...

...he'd bury you in the basement.

I'm not telling Dad.

But I think some people

suspect already.

Who?

Well, some guys

at school maybe.

Who at school?

Who cares, N icky?

This is who I am.

- I cannot hide it forever.

- This is not who you are.

You do not have a

clue who you are.

You've always been

the most confused...

...screwed up individual...

I've been confused

about this.

Oh man, don't cry.

- Stop crying, Dorian.

- I'm not.

Dude.

OK.

OK.

Look, I promised Kev Halen

that I'd get there early...

...and help him set up so, um,

why don't you come...

...have a few beers we'll clear...

No, that's OK.

You go.

I'm fine, really.

Go.

Dorian this a lot for me to

digest right now, all right?

Look, I know you like

to talk about stuff.

This is a big one, so

as soon as I get back...

...we'll stay up as late as you want,

talk as late as you want, all right?

Thanks.

You need to talk now,

don't you?

- Mmm-hmm.

- OK.

So we talked.

And when the phone started

ringing and the whole school...

...wanted my brother

at the party...

...he told Mom to tell

them he was sick.

We had our own party.

Got drunk, played poker for

Aunt Bette's Easter money...

...told jokes about Mom

and Dad till it hurt.

Turned out to be

a great night.

Truly classic.

The kind of night

that makes you thinkl...

...maybe high school really are

the best years of your life.

- Can I help you?

- Yeah.

We were just wondering if you could

give us the definition of a word.

Dictionaries out of print?

Well, you know we thought

it would be easier...

...to ask a smart person.

What word?

U h, what was that again guys?

Oh yeah, yeah.

It was, um homo... Homosexual.

Could you tell us how you

would define the word; homosexual?

And then maybe use

it in a sentence.

I would define it as someone

you're deathly afraid of.

So... Should we be

afraid of you?

Come on, that is so rude when

somebody is talking right to you.

We're not talking.

Listen, f*ggot.

I don't know who you think

you're dealing with.

Look out, Cal.

Hey.

Aw.

Sh*t, man.

Hey, N ick, I was just

messing with him.

Yeah?

That's all you ever do, Cal.
