-He is, isn't he, in his Bobby way.

-Why are all the good ones gay?

-Bobby's not gay.

Well, it's hard to say exactly

what Bobby is. You want another beer?

Yeah.

Come on!

Tomorrow, l'm taking you up

to Central Park.

lnside a week, you'll have

the whole city figured out.

Hey, man.

-What?

-You got a tattoo.

Yeah, years ago, at NYU. l thought l could

be the kind of person who'd have a tattoo.

Cool.

Bobby.

l feel like there are things

we should talk about...

-...but l'm not sure what to say.

-What things?

You know, when we were kids...

...what we used to do.

Man, we were kids.

-So are you seeing anyone in Cleveland?

-No. l'm....

l was just, you know, working,

hanging out.

How about you?

-You seeing anybody?

-No.

No one in particular.

Hey, man.

Look what someone was throwing out.

Hey, Leonard C.

Right out there on the street,

along with dead spider plants and macram.

How many times

did we get stoned to this?

l lost count.

Hey, man, l'm making lasagna.

We could knock off a bottle of Chianti

and listen to ''Suzanne,'' like, 1 0 times.

-Sorry, l've got a date.

-No problemo.

Save some for me.

You have to promise to make this,

at most, once a year.

Bobby, if l weigh 300 pounds,

l won't be able to get up the stairs.

Too bad Jonathan has to miss it.

Well, Jonathan has other priorities.

And it was the best.

We were out of our minds.

-You had a good time?

-The best. The best.

You know how sometimes

it seems like the DJ knows you?

That's what l'm talking about.

This is one of my sadness albums.

-After my divorce.

-You were married?

He was a sadistic drug addict...

...and l was, well, a masochistic,

aspiring drug addict.

-lt made sense, at the time.

-Where'd you meet him?

-Want a real laugh? Woodstock.

-You were at Woodstock?

-Like, the concert?

-Well, l don't tell just anybody, Bobby.

-What was it like?

-Muddy.

You never seen so much mud.

l felt like a pig.

l was attracted to Denny because he had

a bar of Lifebuoy soap down at the pond.

-Hey, have you ever heard Steve Reich?

-No.

lt's one of my favorites. Listen.

l just sort of catch whatever happens

to blow through.

Hey, beauties.

Hello, dear. You're home early.

Yeah, l was having a little less

than maximum fun.

Well, as you know, we always leave

the porch light on for you.

Love that.

-Jonnie, have you heard this guy?

-Steve Reich.

-Sure.

-He's great. He's amazing. He's just--

He's....

-Where'd you find him anyway?

-He found me.

He's a welcome addition

to the household.

Bobby, you'll have to find a job,

aren't you?

l'm a baker. Think a New York bakery

would hire me?

ln New York, someone will pay you
