Latter Days Page #3

Synopsis: Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss) and Christian Markelli (Wes Ramsey) are perhaps the two most opposite people in the world. Aaron is a passionate young Elder (a Mormon missionary) who wants to do his family and church proud. Christian is a shallow West Hollywood waiter/party boy who only looks forward to what man the next night will bring to him. After Aaron and three other Elders move into the apartment across from his, Christian's friends make a bet that he can't get one of them into the sack, so he instantly latches onto Aaron, suspecting there is more than meets the eye to him. There are two problems, though: Christian finds himself questioning his own identity as he falls in love with Aaron and the Mormon Church treats homosexuality as a sinful lifestyle. When Aaron's burgeoning sexuality is discovered, they will have to go through trials of regret, loss, perseverance, and forgiveness if they want to get to the thing that matters to them most: each other.

Take it sound, J. Christ, who pissed in your Cheerios?

Some A and R guy. She has drinks with

this guy so he'll listen to her demo

and now she fears for her virtue. Hey!

He's totally cute. I bust my ass making a great demo,

I can't get anyone to listen to it till this guy

who so obviously just wanted to f*** me.

Poor baby. I thought he was cute.

What, you would have sex to help your career?

Honey, I'd blown a guy just to get him out of my apartment.

Sex for my career would be noble.

Ben, I'm not ready to make that kind of decision yet.

I have to go. OK, I'll call.

Here's Andrew's wine order.

Thank you.

Is there something else? Everyone thinks Ben is your boyfriend,

but he's not, he's a doctor, isn't he?

Is everything OK? Young man, I will not

be the subject of gossip in my own establishment.

Sorry.

And that's how, through Joseph Smith,

God restored the true church of Jesus Christ to the earth.

Have any questions?

How come if God talks to Joseph Smith, he's a prophet

but if God talks to me, I'm schizophrenic?

Ah, well, he was sort of special.

What's the Mormon church's stand on black people?

That's a good question. African American members

have been allowed to hold the priesthood since 1978.

Since disco. And women?

Women don't get to hold the priesthood, what they get

is to be wives and to be mothers and share in its blessings.

Oh, sharing. See, sharing is good. Christian here was wondering

what is your church's stand on gay rights.

Um well... There's no such thing.

'Gay' and 'right' don't belong in the same sentence.

Oh, but 'right' and 'rightwing' go hand-in-hand?

Yeah, God hates homos.

You're gonna come into my house and tell me

God hates homosexuals?

And the French!

God hates the French?

Everybody hates the French.

Just push the orange button. Oh, you are such a sweetheart

for doing that, thank you. You're welcome.

Ma, you're flashing the whole terminal. I can't help it.

If I don't they are gonna end up around my knees.

Oh, I'm losing the only other sane one around here.

I think this belong to you now, son. Do us proud.

Yes sir, I will.

You know, you have yourself a real safe trip, OK?

Oh, for crying out loud, I wasn't gonna do this.

Ma, you promised. If you start, I will.

I know, but I can't help it, because you're my baby, you know.

And you always will be.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Look, if there's a problem, I could come back.

Look, maybe I'm just homesick.

Homesick? For Idaho?

Okay, fine.. I'm sorry. That came out wrong.

It's just.. When I left home... I zoomed like a rocket here.

But if you've never been away from home before.. Have you?

What? I've been away from home. Just, not for two whole years.
