The Object of My Affection Page #4

Yeah. In fact, George, you could probably take

off all your clothes and Vince wouldn't mind.

She's eating me alive.

I dote on her and she's eating me alive.

See, aren't you glad

you settled down with us?

I was gonna be a teacher once -

get 'em while they're young.

Teach 'em they don't have to believe

somebody else holds the cards.

- He knows, Vince.

- No, he knows and he doesn't know.

- Why don't you teach at a public school?

- I got ajob at the Brinkley School.

But you're gay. Shouldn't you

stick up for the disenfranchised?

- Can't we talk about the movie, please?

- Wait. Mind if I ask how much you get paid?

- You make more than four figures, right?

- In the very early five figures.

Oh, Christ Almighty.

And they're all f***ing millionaires.

They couldn't eat lunch

on what they're paying you.

You gotta organise the teachers. I'll help you.

You're all getting screwed, you know that?

Well, thanks. That's all great advice.

But I'm afraid I have school tomorrow, so...

- It was great to meet you.

- You too.

- Good night, George.

- Good night.

Night, George.

- Oh, you terrorised him.

- What? We were having a nice conversation.

You told him he had the wrong job

and he made no money.

No, I told him he had the rightjob

in the wrong place, and made no money.

- You don't even know him.

- It never stopped me before.

My stepsister is right.

You are just a bulldozer.

What? I'm a pussycat.

Did I get angry with you when you let

a gay guy move in here instead of me? No.

- I like him.

- Vince, you don't have to like him.

But there is one thing. How come it's OK

for him to live on top of you and not me?

He's not living on top of me

and he's leaving in two weeks.

He's never going anywhere. He's gonna

fall in love with you and turn straight.

- You're crazy.

- Not if you're looking at what I'm looking at.

- Vince.

- What?

Get in here.

Hi.

Hey.

Late-night comfort food - bad habit.

Shh. Vince is asleep.

He's really very kind.

He just felt threatened by you.

- That's insane.

- No, it isn't.

He asked me the same thing you did.

Why am I living here and he isn't?

Bingo.

Maybe you should be the counsellor.

Do you love him?

Yeah.

Whatever that means.

I just don't know if I should be living

with him. Vince can really fill a room.

Did you love Joley?

Well, who knows?

I thought so.

Oh, God...

- George, I'm sorry.

- No, it's...

It's so stupid, you know.

I know - he's a prick.

- I keep thinking I should have seen it coming.

- No. No.

You did nothing wrong.

You... You just trusted him.

- But you wouldn't have let this happen.

- Oh, yeah, sure. I don't trust anybody.

Particularly not amusing,
