your homo side so openly.

My homo side?

Are you serious right now?

You must--

wait, what do you mean

by my homo side?

You know what I mean.

Ah.

Mm, okay,

let rne tell you something.

I might be gay,

but I have absolutely

no interest in you whatsoever,

if that's what

you're worried about.

Yeah, I'm what they call

a potato queen.

I'm only interested

in white men.

I've never slept

with a Chinese man before,

and I never will,

so don't worry.

You're safe.

Deal?

I-- okay.

Okay, thank you.

F***ing biscuit.

[sighs]

[elevator dings]

[melancholic music]

So how did you do it?

Look, this Rosemary's Baby's

really f***ing up my hormones.

I'm sorry I snapped last night.

Look, Francesca,

he hates gays.

I can't work with him.

Ryan, if you want

to get ahead,

you have to learn

how to deal with a**holes.

Maybe-- maybe you just need

to get to know him better.

Let me book you a table, okay?

Okay.

[smooth music]

So you like French food?

J'adore

la cuisine francaise.

I beg your pardon?

I adore French cuisine.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Would you care to start

with a drink?

Hmm.

'95 Opus One, not bad.

Um, what do you fancy?

Fancy?

What do you want to drink?

Sake.

A sake, sir?

Do you have it?

I'm afraid not.

Whiskey then.

I'll have the petite syrah.

Very good choice, sir.

This is a French restaurant.

So?

In Beijing, Americans,

they always order dim sum

at a Sichuan restaurant.

What does restaurant do?

[Snaps fingers]

Put dim sum on menu.

So your-- your family,

uh,

what do they work?

Oh, my father's a lawyer,

and my mother teaches

art history at NYU.

And they-they don't want you

to be lawyer or doctor?

No, they're not Chinese

in that way, no.

And they know that

you are...

you know,

abnormal?

I'm not abnormal.

Uh, unusual then.

They're okay with it.

I can't imagine any parent

being okay their son's--

I can't imagine you've never

worked with someone gay.

We must exist in China.

Yes, many time, but never

someone like you, so...

no shame.

You know, it's not all

that hard being gay nowadays.

You never problem?

No laughing?

Well, when I was younger

my parents sent me

to Sunday School

to learn Chinese,

and yeah, some of the kids

there were stupid.

How?

They called me names.

Nothing creative;

things like

[speaking foreign language]

Hate you?

They'd try to

make rne cry many times,

but I never cried

in front of them.

And that's why I'm so happy

to be in this industry

where being gay is not

just accepted

but celebrated,

until now.

[clears throat]

[rock music playing faintly]

[phone buzzing]
