to see the nun...

to thank her

for giving me strength,

and... they said,

"Oh, no,

there's no nun here

that fits that description."

"There are no nuns here

that wear all-white habits."

And I knew.

I knew my life

would not have been spared

if being gay was the sin

that the Church said it was.

I was saved... because

God looks upon me

with special favor.

That nun...

was a messenger.

Wow.

Isn't that something?

But, Scott-- men, women--

you know, who cares?

What's important

is to be yourself.

You just be who you

are, baby boy.

Don't eat all of this.

You'll be angry that

your panties are tight.

Ah-ooh.

- You want some, Scott?

- Mm-mm.

Mm!

These are delicious.

Here.

Have one.

Does he

do that every night?

Mm-hmm.

Have yourself

a merry little Christmas...

Be careful, Scott.

Let your heart

be light...

Perfect.

From now on,

our troubles

Will be

out of sight...

He made you

a pesto panini.

Oh.

Did you bring

my Fresca?

What?

Here's what's going to happen.

You listening?

You think you're so hot

and sexy with your hard ass

and that bisexual

bullshit.

You know how many

there have been?

Bobby, Hans, Chase.

Oh, and some

country boy stripper

who was so dumb he wore

his G-string backwards.

He got rid

of all of them.

But I'm still here.

And one day,

Lee is going to call Seymour...

and he's going to tell him

to get rid of you.

Lee?

Lee?

Oh, excuse me.

I was--

Lee?

Right here,

baby boy.

You've never seen me

without my hair, have you?

Terrible.

Terrible, isn't it?

But the pieces,

they're great.

You know what

I'm going to do?

I'm going to put you

in charge of my wigs.

I only do that

for people I trust.

- Would you like that?

- Lee, I'm sorry, but...

I think maybe

this was a mistake.

What's wrong?

What?

I can't do this.

I can't live like this,

in this house.

I mean, everybody

looks down on me.

Carlucci is always on

my ass about something.

He's treating me

like I'm the houseboy.

I just, I can't

live like this.

I'm sorry.

I don't want

to see you depressed.

When you have a sad face,

then I feel sad.

But it's not sad, it's...

This isn't working.

Well, then I've failed.

Because you have

made me so happy...

over these past

few months.

And if I haven't

made you happy...

Your happiness means

everything to me, Scott.

I just don't know

what to do.

Why do I love you?

I love you

not only for what you are

But for what I am

when I'm with you

I love you not only for what

you have made of yourself

But for what

you are making of me.

I love you for ignoring

the possibilities...

of the fool in me

And for accepting

the possibilities

of the good in me.

Why do I love you?
