Party!

Alright, darling? How are you doing?

Alright?

Has anyone seen Vernon?

I need to f*** someone.

Oh, God...

Vernon!

Go right in, mate.

Hey, darling, have you seen Vernon?

No?

Oops, sorry, has anyone seen...?

Shut the door, George!

There's a breeze out enough with chuff.

George!

George, come here!

George!

Sorry, is it my turn already? How do you

want me? Up the stairs or in the crapper?

I tried to tell you, mate.

Oh, yeah? Tell me what?

Well, you know.

No, I don't know. Tell me what?

What, do you wear your mama's pearls

or you secretly listen to Billy Joel records?

I'm straight.

Well, you might have mumbled

something while I was in your mouth.

Was that what you were trying to say?

Listen up, everybody!

Without any doubt, Vernon here

is straight! 100% hetero!

Shut up!

Or what?

You shouldn't have done that.

Fight! Fight! Fight!

How does it feel to have your ass

kicked by a fairy?

Why can I only ever pull straight guys?

Because gay men don't find you

attractive.

They f***in' do!

Gay men think you're too much.

You pattle of what a straight man

thinks a gay man looks like.

Why are you in my room?

I came to cheer you up.

Dad?

I'll just go and boil a kettle or something.

Very nice.

You're wet.

It's raining beer in a blad line.

What are you doing here?

I'm working nearby.

I promised your mommy

I'd drop in and see how you're getting on.

I called in to your office yesterday.

They invented a machine to replace me.

You should get one.

Now just drop the wisecracks

for one minute, will you?

I'm not one of your friends.

Yeah, I'll find something else.

When?

I don't know.

Doing what?

I don't know! Christ, will you just

lay off me? I'm not hurting anyone!

Right, that's it! Come on.

Get your stuff together.

What?

I'm taking you home.

You gave it your best shot

and it just didn't work out.

There's no shame in that.

Now, come on.

No, no, no, this is my home! These are

my friends! I'm not going anywhere!

I just want you to have a plan.

Oh, George, John.

John, George.

All we need now is Paul and Ringo.

So, what do you think

of the penis extension?

Lovely.

Oh, circumsized, too.

You know, your nose grows

when you get jealous.

You're like Pinokio.

With bad skin.

Are you ready, Peter?

Yeah, he's still a work in progress.

Send you a postcard!

From where?

Scotland.

Finky owns a chunk of it.

What am I gonna do now?

If you ever get lonely,

you can always resort

to a series of grabby one-night stands.

Honey, you'll be fine.

I'll be back to visit very soon.

Promise. I see.

Keep your chins up!

Oh, and I left a little something

on your bed. Enjoy it!

What am I supposed to be
