Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom Page #3

Synopsis: Noah, Alex, Ricky, Chance and their significant others travel to Martha's Vineyard for a weekend wedding getaway. Drama ensues as one-by-one their relationships start to crack under the pressure of closer examination. Newly successful screenwriter Noah looks to his friends for advice as he prepares to move his relationship to a more serious level while struggling to keep his first studio movie alive. But the friends are of little help as they juggle their own issues. Elder statesmen Chance and Eddie attempt to scratch their seven-year itch but worry their marriage has permanently lost its spark. And playboy Ricky flaunts his barely legal college student fling in the face of his monogamous friends but hides a surprising secret that threatens to rock the house. Add to the mix Alex's crazy-making wedding prep, a closeted superstar rapper, a high-maintenance studio exec, and a surprise visitor and you've got the makings of a hilarious and poignant romantic comedy.

is another matter.

He's obsessed with you

since he refuses.

You know I like

Baby Gat, right?

- No?

- Yes

Then stop fooling yourself, papo.

I hear they cut cake.

Thanks, baby.

We need to talk.

- What does it matter?

- Who says we are wrong?

- Brandon.

- Brandon is in love with me.

Sure it would.

But in the room,

Couples talked about ...

... who marry and then discover

who do not like.

He was talking about

Noah and Wade, not us.

Okay.

- Eddie, I ...

- Dinner is served.

Bow our heads.

Lord, thank you

for giving me the strength ...

... to prepare

This delicious meal ...

... without anyone's help.

Alex.

Thanks for the wonderful

gifts of love and friendship ...

... you have given us this day.

Amen.

- Amen!

- Amen.

- See you later.

- Bye.

What's for dinner?

I'm starving.

Let's eat.

Have they decided

about the name?

"You shall put the name of Noah,

it yours, or both?

- Still not decided.

- We'll take both.

And if you go to a place like

Saudi Arabia ...

... will not be presented as

lord and master.

I doubt we're going to Saudi Arabia.

Well, what about Jamaica?

Sometimes you have to be pioneers.

You should try to be brave.

That's where it starts.

- I thought only joking.

- About what?

The double surname.

I mean, if you want to put my name

with yours, well ...

... but do not know.

- When you meet the perfect guy ...

... definitely want to put

his name with mine.

Homosexuals

are like stars.

The stars never change

their surnames when they marry.

Diana can marry

anything you want.

It will always be Miss Ross.

But marriage is a statement

before the world, right?

The reality is somewhat more

complicated than a big gesture.

You know what?

How about a toast?

To Noah, for making me the honor

give me her hand in marriage ...

... call us

as we call it then ...

... and wherever we choose

spend our holidays.

To Noah.

You know, I think it is surprising

that you and Mr. Iverson ...

... manage an HIV clinic

and adopt an African orphan.

Surprisingly, unlike some

unnamed superstar ...

follow the proper channels ...

in our adoption.

And Professor Counter,

I mean, Chance ...

... he and her husband,

have a daughter, right?

Little Ethiopia.

It's so cute.

- I thought it was Kenya.

- Yes, Kenya, yes.

It is with the parents of Eddie

during the weekend.

And their parents know

what him and Chance?

What about your parents?

If I told my parents I am gay they disown me.

But I want to, you know?

I want to know who I am

and who love me anyway.

And I feel that unless I tell them ...

... not give them the opportunity

to know the real me.

Understand?

Look, never tell anyone

John R. Gordon

John R Gordon (born 1964) is a white gay writer and resident of Shepherds Bush, London, England, whose work - novels, plays, screenplays and biography - centers black characters and explores the complex, subtle and troubling intersections of race, sexuality and class. With Rikki Beadle-Blair he founded and runs queer-of-colour-centric indie press Team Angelica. Although he was a "white person from a white suburb", according to Gordon, in the 1980s he became deeply interested in black cultural figures such as James Baldwin, Malcolm X and Frantz Fanon, and they have influenced his work ever since. more…
