INT. LOBBY. AFTERNOON. Jerrry and Samuel enter the Lobby.

Jerry desperetly troes to remove his suit jacket. His brother Samuel watches him reproachfully. SAMUEL It's about tact, Jerry. This is caroline's night. Counldn't you have chosen another time? God, in front of everyone! JERRY In front of everyone? That's what's bothering you, isn't it? Well, yes, I said it in front of everyone. I'm tired. Tired of hiding from the truth, My thruth, what I am, what I feel, how i feel. I'm tired of suffering only because the world is unable to understand me . It's them, not me. SAMUEL stop being shameless, Jerry. Just because you were born wit ha problem doesn't mean you have to rub it in everyone else's face!-JERRY It's not a problem! I don't have a problem! -OH, you please! details another SAMUEL don't have a problem? oh, I don't want to get into but just imagining you with man makes me sick~

JERRY Well, get used to it. I like men, art, and ballet. I cook, and very well, mind you. I like going to the gym, nice clothing, singing Ricky Martin karaoke when I'm by myself, and I don't see a single problem with any of that. Samuel Scoffs SAMUEL Fantastic! So now I'm gonna go all 'diva' in the middle of my sister's wedding reception because, well, who

cares, right? and on top of that , I'm going to tell all Dad's friends that I love it when they blow in my ear! JERRY I pity you, Samuel. I was expecting this from my father, my boss, and my co-workers, but not from you. I thought you'd noticed how much I suffered through school , how I hid my boyfriends. I thought that being brothers meant somehting different. SAMUEL So did I. I thought you'd take yor family into consideration. Your ruined everyone's night because you love to put on a damned show. You always have to be the star, don't you? Samuel starts walking back to the reception. Jerry sits on the floor and sobs. SAMUEL ...and standup. Pathetic is bad enough. Pathetic and gay, is just too much. Samuel exits, leaving Jerry alone and crying.
