Butterflies Are Free Page #6

- I don't really think about it.

I'll see how it goes. I may be an actress.

I say, "I may." I'll know tomorrow.

I'm auditioning for a part in a new play

with a theater group...

called the Cosmic Workshop.

It's about a girl who gets all hung-up

when she marries a homosexual.

Originally, he was an alcoholic...

but homosexuals are very in

now in movies...

and books and plays, so they changed it.

Are you homosexual?

No, just blind.

- Careful, there's a step.

- Up or down?

Down!

One of my best friends is gay.

Dennis. He's a designer.

He's good, too.

He made this blouse for me.

I'm sure it's very pretty.

Actually, he made it for himself,

but I talked him out of it.

Dennis is so campy and funny.

But I don't like lesbians.

They're so heavy and humorless.

The director is my friend.

He thinks I can do the part.

- I just have to be approved by the author.

- Who's the director?

You wouldn't know him.

His name is Ralph Santori.

He's from L.A.

He's done a lot of little theater there...

but never had a hit...

so he came up here because he got a job

with the Cosmic Workshop.

We kind of made it together for a while,

but then he wanted to get married...

and I just couldn't face that again.

Were you in love with him?

I don't really think

I've ever been in love with anybody.

I don't want to be. It's too confining.

Somebody always gets hurt.

Hey, let's go in here.

They've got wild things.

- There are steps.

- Up or down?

Up. I can't think of everything.

Hi.

- You need any help?

- No, thanks, we're just looking.

How about this?

- No, that's not for you, that's for Dennis.

- Well, it feels nice.

- I'll buy it.

- I'll buy it for you.

- No.

- Please, let me buy it for you.

- No.

- I really want to buy it for you.

Okay. Okay.

Here, hold this up.

Yeah, it's not bad.

Can't we do better than "not bad"?

Okay, wait.

Yeah. Try that on.

You can take my shirt, too.

Found anything yet?

- Don, this is Mr. Asparagus.

- Hi.

No, my name is Roy Stratton.

The shop is called Asparagus.

I named it that 'cause I always think

of asparagus as being a friendly vegetable.

I mean, you might see one potato,

or one onion, or one corn...

but you never see one asparagus.

- They come in bunches. They're involved.

- You never see one pea.

Well, I don't like peas.

Hey, this vest will look great with it.

- Here, try it on.

- Yeah.

Give me your other arm.

Okay.

Yeah, now, that's together. I like that.

- Sweet.

- I love it.

- Does it look like an album cover?

- Yeah.

Hey, but what you need is a hat.

Hats are big now.

- What kind of hat?

- Say, baby, we got everything here.

Over here.

How about a Confederate cap?
