TEXT: [Babylon. We begin with a bizarre show. A kinda Sadomaso performance at stage. When it's finished only a few fags applauds. A crushed Brian goes to the bar.] Justin: Buy you a drink? Brian: Great news, I'm already done. Ted: Hey tomorrow nights it's the two bucks special. That makes... uh [he's looking around]... at least six bucks. Brian: I've bought a full page ad, I put cards behind every shop in Liberty Avenue, I've had even f*cking go-go boys in speedos passing out flyers. Justin: Promotion like that there find out at every block. Ted: Oh, they are... at Poppers. [The sadomaso performer cames up, slam his lash at the bar.] Man: Drinks on the house! We're wasting our time AND our talent. Justin: I don't get it why everyone left. Ted: That's one of the great mysterious of life. Why does queers go to one club and don't get in the other. [The next morning at the park. It's raining. Mel runs to the bench, where Linds waiting for her.] Mel: Oh, I know I'm late. Sorry. Lindsay: Don't worry about it. Mel: Oh, how is my sweety? Lindsay: Oh, like a light. Mel: How much do you give her? [Linds looks straight in her eyes.] That was a joke. Lindsay: What does Jacobs got to say? Mel: Michael doesn't get a f*cking chance of proving to be a better parent than me. And the judges always favourite the mother. Look to Hunters mother for Christ sakes. Lindsay: Well, in that case it's a relief. Mel: Yeah, but there is one more thing. He thinks it's the best when I go to the meeting alone. Lindsay: And why is that? Mel: It would be more complicated between the birth-father and the birth-mother. Lindsay: But I don't think it's to good. Mel: Actually you can be complicated my case.
