The Normal Heart Page #3
Half these people just showed up to get laid.
NED:
Quiet! Quiet!We're starting a group!
We're starting a health crisis group.
We're gonna meet here again.
Next time bring some f***ing food!
TOMMY:
Hey, hey, hey. That's not nice.- Welcome to gay politics.
- (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
(CLEARS THROAT) Yeah. I'm very late for
an important meeting with Craig Claiborne.
He's expecting me.
(TELEPHONES RINGING)
(TYPEWRITERS CLACKING)
Hi, Felix Turner.
- And you are?
- My name's Ned Weeks.
You're very cute.
You caught me at a rough moment, all right?
I have a deadline.
The First Lady's coming to town.
I've been told you're gay.
And you might be able to help me
get some vital information in The Times.
You've been told?
And who was it who told you?
Oh, honey, everybody's talking about it.
(CHUCKLES)
Why does everyone gay
think that I run The New York Times?
I can't help you with this.
I'm sorry to hear that.
(CHUCKLES) Take your pick.
I got 23 parties, 37 new restaurants,
12 new discos.
Listen, I can't get anyone here
I've talked to half a dozen reporters
and the guy who worked on the first piece.
Mr. Leather? Yeah, no.
No one here will write about it, and I can't.
Look, we're very compartmentalized.
You wouldn't want science
to write about sweaters, would you?
It's a very peculiar feeling
having to go out and seek support
from the straight world for something gay.
(WHISPERING) I wouldn't know about that.
I just write about gay designers
and gay discos and gay chefs
and gay models and gay rock stars
and gay celebrities and gay everything.
I just don't call them gay.
Isn't it time you start?
(SCOFFS)
- Look, I really do have a deadline.
- Hmm.
- And you wouldn't want me to get fired.
- Hmm.
Would you?
Guys like you can be a pain in the ass.
- You in the book?
- Yes.
NED:
Hi, guys. Give to gay cancer?Hi, give to gay cancer?
No? Hi, give to gay cancer?
Hi, sir...
Hi, give to gay cancer?
There's a cancer in the gay community.
Can you give to gay cancer?
There's a crisis in our community right now.
We could really...
- No?
- I think you could be a little less aggressive.
Less... We've tried that.
Can you give to cancer in our community?
Hi, give to gay..-
Hi, give to gay cancer?
(SNIFFLES)
BRUCE:
It's funny. My mother sent flowersand I had never told her I was gay.
I just told her that Craig had died.
I think she knew.
I think somehow mothers always know.
Doesn't spending $5 million
It scared the sh*t out of me
