Dorian Blues Page #4

Synopsis: Coming-of-age. A small-town young man realizes why he's such a misfit - he's gay! Adolescence is proving a pain for the always-thinking Dorian. He's an outcast and the butt of classmates' fag jokes at high school. He's different and understands why when he reaches the conclusion that he's a "stereotypical gay." He soon announces this discovery to his homophobic, Nixon-loving dad. As Dad throws him out of the house, Dorian's off to NYU to encounter a new world of coffee houses, sophisticates and handsome men.

You know, there's a lot more

to life than messing with people.

You ought to branch

out a little bit.

See what I mean?

People suspect.

Just keep denying it.

Remember what H itler said.

You tell a lie long

enough and loud enough...

...eventually they'll

believe it.

So your advice is

be more like H itler?

You know what I mean.

Yes.

Stay in the closet.

Yeah, and lock the door.

What you writing?

Just, uh, my own journal.

All your private thoughts?

- Like what?

- Like, private.

So what?

Tell me one.

No, uh thanks.

- Wanna hear one of mine?

- No.

I mean, uh, I'm sure yours

are great but it's just...

...mine are more than

enough right now.

Bunch of Neanderthals.

## Take the last train

to Clarksville, ##

## and I'll meet you

at the station. ##

## You can be there

by four thirty, ##

## 'cause I made

your reservation. ##

## Don't be slow. ##

## Oh, no, no, no. ##

## Oh, no, no, no! ##

## Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee. ##

## Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee. ##

## Dee, dee, dee, dee, dee, dee,

dee, dee, dee. ##

## Take the last train

to Clarksville, ##

## and I must hang up the phone. ##

## I can't hear you in this

noisy rail road station all alone. ##

## I'm feeling low. ##

## Oh, no, no, no. ##

## Oh, no, no, no! ##

Hey, where'd you

disappear to after school?

What are you, my keeper?

No, I was just looking

for you, that's all.

Don't look for me.

What are you

getting stupid for?

Hey, you know something?

You look kind of guilty.

Did you do something wrong?

Get out of here.

Hey, did you

do something... Gay?

We connected in this

like, sci-fi moment.

It was like...

Yes.

We're both alike, we're

both "homo senturions. "

Both aliens.

Do you feel like

an alien, Dorian?

Yes.

Do you?

Not any more.

- How long did it take you.

- A few years maybe.

Well, uh, I don't

have a few years, doc.

I've got to go to

N YU in the fall.

You've got to get

me adjusted and now.

Plus, I can't afford

all of these sessions...

I'm dipping into my

savings for this.

Relax.

We'll do our best.

Oh, there's a

great doctor line;

"relax, we'll do our best".

Usually followed by

"Sorry, we did all we could. "

What do you love most

about yourself, Dorian?

U h, I have a good heart.

And what do you

dislike the most?

Um, my anxiety.

What do you love the

most about your father.

Oh, I see the questions get

progressively more difficult.

Why don't you tell

him that you're gay?

Because, it would be the

ugliest moment of my life...

...and I am not that strong.

See that dummy over there?

- Know who that is?

- My father?

Very good.

I'd like for you to go over there

and tell him that you're gay.

Just... Talk to him.
