The Truth About Lies Page #3

Synopsis: Gilby Smalls is having a meltdown. He's just been fired from his job, lost his apartment in a fire and his girlfriend gave him the boot. And it's only Wednesday. Now, at the ripe old age of thirty-something, he is forced to move in with May, his booze-swindling man-obsessed mother. This is the last straw. Gilby's life is bleak until best friend Kevin drags him to a family get-together, where he meets Rachel, Kevin's very beautiful but very married sister. Rachel is the very thing Gilby needs to get his life back on track. Desperate to impress her, Gilby starts to weave a web of lies; one bigger than the next. Now in a sticky mess, Gilby is forced to face the uncomfortable truth about himself before he can find a way out of his very own Lies. The Truth About Lies explores the potent role lying plays in relationships and life with some surprising results!

and n-now you're gonna dump me?

Right now? I mean, I...

Can I at least shower before

I begin my life on the street?

No. You can't take a shower here,

and you're not gonna be homeless.

Stop piling on like that.

It's bad for your confidence.

I'm con-I'm confident that you're insane!

Okay, you know what?

I have made my feelings very clear.

I am not gonna let you

give me some guilt trip.

Guilt trip? You're dumping

me after I've lost everything.

That's a fact trip.

Okay, this? Not gonna work.

You're gonna have to go.

You had to pick today

to become a sociopath?

Great, great.

He's here. Great.

You are my landlord's cousin,

and you came to the wrong apartment.

You want me to lie for you? You nuts?

You are nuts! Get out of my apartment!

- Hey, baby.

- Hi. You're early.

I just couldn't wait any longer to see you.

- Mmm.

- Come here.

Hi.

- Um...

- I'm sorry.

- I... This is...

- I, uh, didn't realize you, uh, had company.

I don't, actually.

Hi, I'm Gilby.

Calvin.

Calvin. Hi, Calvin. Did...

Sharon, did you not tell

your friend about me?

No, no, I don't think so.

Did you tell me about Gilby?

- No, why would I?

- Well, we're...

I'm Sharon's brother.

- Oh!

- Yeah.

- Great to meet you, man.

- Yeah, hey.

Why didn't you tell me you had a brother?

I-I don't know. It must

have slipped my mind.

Why didn't you tell

him about your twin bro?

Twins? Ha! Twins.

Yeah, you know, now that you mention it,

- you guys do look alike.

- You see it.

- I see it. Yeah.

- I don't think so.

- People say that!

- No one says that.

- It's kind of a thing.

- It's not a thing.

Do you guys, like, uh,

read each other's minds?

Sometimes.

Ooh!

- No.

- No, no.

But we are closer than you can imagine.

- Oh, I'm sure.

- You know what? That's completely true

because we share the same taste in men.

- So, you're, uh...

- Is, uh, is that right?

Gay as the day is long.

- Loves penis.

- Okay.

- Loves penis, this one.

- Okay.

Hey, what's with all the-the

boxes going around here?

Are you, uh, redecorating

your place or something?

Yes, yes, exactly.

You know, us gays just love to redecorate.

- Looks good.

- When we're not loving penis so much.

Which you do. Mm-hmm.

All the time.

Yeah, we're loving hanging new drapes.

- I know. I know.

- This guy is funny.

This guy, this-this guy,

you-you picked a real winner.

God, you guys are getting along so well.

I hate to break it up,

but Gilby is late for his date with a man.

- So, you should go.

- Oh, you know what?

I-I didn't tell you.

I changed those plans.

'Cause I was just feeling a little tired,

so I just wanna kick back and relax.

- I'm just gonna stay here.
