Hal Sparks started a joke on Comedy Central by saying, "I'm gonna part you like the Red Sea."  (((Trust me, it was an intentionally bad macho lead-in to a birth control joke.)))   However......   I'm thinking Brian Kinney's on the same wave-length.

And here's the proof!!!  (((Read that as Proof, not Poof....lol.)))

Episode 2 opens with a VERYYYYYYYYYYYYY plow-his-brains-out-through-his-ass sex scene...lol.  Brian is fucking someone over his dining room table.  We see .... JUSTIN.  Taking it like a man and loving it.  Lots of grunts, sweat and pounding.  (((Who knew that table  - it's a new one, btw - was that sturdy?)))  When wham bam, thank you Cowlip - we see in the aftermath that it's NOT Justin but some young trick who Brian was picturing as Justin as he shagged him.  The man says Brian's given him one of the top 10 fucks of his life.  To Brian's, "yeah, definitely one of my top ten thousand."  OUCH.  Brian jerks his pants up, and tells the guy to get out - without a shower and wearing his own come home "proudly."  Trick:  "Why are the best fucks always the biggest jerks?"

Ted waking Emmett up with fresh brewed coffee.  Em's all snuggly in Ted's bed, a very satisfied happy smile on his face.  (((Damn, the man looks cute even with bed head.)))  They both start cooing over the word "lover" - purring it over and over throughout the conversation.  Em's complimenting Ted's prowess.  "So gentle, so sensitive and yet sooooo forceful."  (((He owes it alllllllllll to Dale Wexler, babe.)))  Ted's blushing.  Ted's complimenting Em's skill with his tongue - ...hehe.  Or to quote Ted, "You are sensational.  The miracles you can perform with your tongue.  Taunting me, teasing me, driving me mad." Etc, etc.  Cute playful scene - in direct contrast to the aftermath of the one before it with Brian.  But then they get back into the "Loverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" talk...lol.  (((Any of you who are Saturday Night Live fans - that awful couple who say LOOOOOVER with as much exaggeration in every sentence as they can, as they start to have sex in every skit.  This is a direct tribute to them....lol.))) 

Cut to:

Brian - looking totally traumatized and bewildered at Liberty Diner.  He's having to play witness to Temmett being all kissy-faced.  Ted's feeding Em, and Em's calling him "Teddy Bear."  Brian: "I'm gonna heave my hash browns."  lol...  They say he's just jealous of their "loving, mature relationship."  And they proceed to regress to infancy as Ted tells Em to open up for the choo choo and Em waggles his tongue for the food on Ted's fork.  (((Damn, you know it bad when that last sentence sounds sexual.))) 

Deb's giving Michael food to go, and she's asking how's his shiner healing.  The one you can't see anymore since it's almost two weeks later from Ep. 1.  She yells out across the Diner, calling Brian an "Animal."  Michael says to leave Brian alone since he asked for it.  D: "Since when do gay guys use their fists?"  (((Please please please heaven above, hold me back from the PUN that's screaming through my mind.)))  But it's okay since Em says one for me, "I'll get Big Hairy Al to explain that one for you."  lol...  A stranger comes up and thanks Michael for creating Rage.  Michael says he had a partner, at which time Justin walks by shooting him the eyes of death...lol.  The fan asks if there'll be more.  Michael says he's not sure....until Brian asks too.  Brian watches as Michael goes over to talk to Justin. 

Michael says Justin's still there, to which Justin says, "I tried to quit, your mother wouldn't let me."  Michael kinda laughs, commiserating.  Until Justin says he needs the money.  M: "I guess Brian came in handy for something."  Eeeeek....lol.  That either qualifies as deeply resentful or remorselessly truthful.  (((Kinda-Brian-esque actually.)))  Michael follows up by saying the comic sold very well, and if Justin needs money....  saying they don't have to like each other to work together.  And that they made a commitment.  Justin turns him down FLAT.  Saying Michael betrayed him.  Michael: "You betrayed yourself, and Brian."  (((Not to mention a few rules that you yourself came up with.  -  No, I'm not taking sides.  In each of their minds - the other did wrong and they see themselves as right.  You get the fun of deciding who's right and who's wrong.  And it's a hard hump to overcome for the both of them....  Pun-meisters, get your heads out of the toilet....lol.)))  Justin says he doesn't want anything to do with Rage or Michael. 

Park where Lindsay's twirling Gus around.  Mel's coming over from work.  A friend of theirs comes over, a woman - and self-proclaimed "big old dyke" - who's just had her second child and is realllly looking forward to number three in the future.  Mel gives Lindz the good news that she's settled a huge case that's been tied up for two years, and has gotten all her fees for it.  Lindz screams and jumps at Mel, who twirls her around just like Lindz was doing to Gus earlier.  Dusty - the big old dyke - (((snicker))) - says it's about time Lindz and Mel had another child.  Mel nods, Lindz says are you kidding. 

Justin with Daphne as Ethan plays violin in the background.  Justin's hand is stiffening up on him.  He says Ethan averages $40 a day as a street performer.  Very romantic.  He also shares that he and Ethan made love on the roof the night before, under the stars.  "Never did anything like that with Brian."  Daphne reminds him that he had some "HOT" nights with Brian.  Ones where he said he could still feel him inside the next day.  Justin gives her the "Daphne" - you're being inappropriate tone....lol.  Course she reminds him that he's the one she's quoting....lol.  Ethan comes over.  Justin drops the bomb that he's dropping out, due to lack of money.  Ethan asks who's been paying for it.  Justin just looks at him, and Ethan gets it.  Looks right pissed, but gets it.

Brian's loft - he's on the phone with a total idiot - having phone sex, but Brian's bored.  He slams the phone down, and goes back to looking at net porn.

Lindz and Mel in the bathroom, brushing their teeth as they talk about the possibility of another child.  Lindz says that now that Gus is in pre-school, she wants to go back to teaching.  And her art...   (((Uhmmmm, wasn't that what the attic revamp was for???  lol....)))  Mel starts to feel Lindz up....lol, saying they should think about planning for another child.  Cut to them both in the tub, getting high on a joint as they continue to talk.  Mel's saying Lindz was sexy when she was pregnant, and horny all the time.  L: "I don't remember it quite that fondly."  Mel reminds her that Lindz said she wanted a house full of kids after Gus was born.  As they make out, Lindz says that Mel's very persuasive.

A new camera angle folks - lllollll - shot from the inside of Michael, Ben and Em's kitchen - as if through the wall.  Ben's cooking, and Em's getting ready to go out.  To meet, "Mr. Right."  Seems he and Ted have created a game in which Ted finds Em at Babylon and Em gets picked up....lol.  Cute.  Ben says "nothing short of a disaster" will drag him or Michael out of the house that night.  Em leaves.  And just then as Ben and Michael are kissing - there's a knock at the door.  Ben says maybe Em forgot his key.  M: "Em never forgets his key."  (((OH yoooohooooooooooooo.  I seem to remember Michael saying in a half sleep one night when Brian showed up drunk - "Em, you have to stop losing your key."  hmmmm....lol.)))  Both Ben and Michael get this look of FEAR on their faces that's a laugh riot.  They know who's at the door.  Michael says maybe if they don't answer, he'll go away.  At which moment you hear Brian's voice calling through the door, "You said I was welcomed anytime."  (((Snickerrrrrrrrrr...haha.)))  Ben says, "FUCK."  But opens the door anyway.  And there'ssssssssssss Brian.  In all black, with pupppppppppy dog eyes.  All let me in, and I'll be good pose.  (((NOT!!!)))  Brian to Ben's curse, "At least give me a little dinner and smooze me up first."  (((THUD...lol.)))  He plops down and asks what's for dinner.  Ben says he only made enough for two (((which we all know's a lie, since he invited Em to stay saying "there's more than enough" ... snort.)))  Brian's not deterred.  Michael says he and Ben would like to spend the night at home, "ALONE."  B:  "But it's nine-inch night at Babylon, any guy with more than nine inches gets in free.  So I figured I'd buy your tickets."  AWWWWWWWWWWWW.....lol.  (((Course, he would know - wouldn't he....haha.)))  Ben and Michael stand strong....  Brian sits aloof.... And what is the result, my fellow psychics????  

Cut to............drum rolllllll, and pulsing beat please......

Michael dancing with Brian at Babylon.....  Oh, but Ben's there too.  At the bar.  Watching, and nooooooooooot happy.  Temmett's there too, and Em asks about why they are there instead at home.  Ben: "Best unlaid plans...."  (((Pun-meister takes a bow....bravo BBB.  Oh, that's Big Ben Bruckner, btw.....lol.)))  Em kisses Ted and goes off towards the bathroom.  Great shot of him prancing through the crowded dance floor to the music as we follow the shot through the halls and into the men's room.  As Em's taking a leak, he gets practically molested.  At first he thinks it's Ted playing their game.  But finds that it's Dijon.  Like the Mustard...lol.  Dijon's a flight attendant who Em's met previously - weeks ago.  They'd made a when-I'm-in-town-next date.  Em is all flattered and flustered by the attention - which includes Dijon putting Em's hand down his pants, but tries to dissuade the man by saying he's got a boyfriend now.  That doesn't deter Dijon  (((damn, can you say alliteration???  lol.....  doesn't deter Dijon....indeed, awwwwwww))).  Who says that if Em doesn't tell his boyfriend then Dijon won't tell his.  Gives Em his card, and leaves.  Just then, Ted comes up behind Em and acts like "Mr. Right."  Trying to pick Em up....  joking about Em maybe having met someone else....ahhhhhh.

Michael comes to get a drink at the bar, Ben tried to take him home.  Michael asks him to dance, but Ben reminds him about the class he's got to teach the next day.  Michael tells Brian they have to go, to which Brian says, "Sure Mikey.  I'll see you tomorrow." 

Next day, Jennifer having lunch with Justin and Ethan.  Ethan, whom she's just met and is very happy to see in Justin's life.  Ethan's talking about his grandfather, and parents.  Jennifer teases Justin about lack of parental praise....to which he answers that he says nice things about her all the time.  Ethan leaves to practice for his competition.  Jennifer gushes.  Adores Ethan.  Saying he's more appropriate for Justin than Brian.  "Not that I have anything against Brian.  If it hadn't been for him I don't know what either one of us...."  (((OMG - did she realllllllllllllllly just say that.  Wow, I might have to have those words bronzed!!!  lol....)))  Justin doesn't want to talk about Brian.  Subject turns to Justin not being able to pay for school.  He won't except help from Jennifer.  Since she's got to raise Molly.  Jennifer brings up dear old dyke....uhmm hmmm, opps.  I mean dear old dad...haha.  Justin doesn't want to ask him.  She says he's been generous with Molly, maybe he would be with Justin. 

Brian looking like a mortician.  Hey, I'm not kidding.  Black suit, black tie and white shirt.  Shopping at Torso...lol.  Em's on the phone, agitated as he's trying to get through to the gay-crisis hotline but has been on hold for 15 mins.  Brian jokes that maybe if he told them how bad his tint job was, they'd put him right through.  AWWWWWWWWW....  ((( I just noticed what Brian's buying.  It's two pair of underwear.  One white and one black.  wooohoooooooo....lol.  This'll all make more sense later, folks.  I promise.)))  Okay - back to the scene.  A scene that will prove to be AGONIZING for the fact that you'd NEVERRRRRRRRR want to have Brian as your therapist.  Trust me, you'd do better at a public library than listen to Dr. Kinney espouse on the rules of relationships.  One of which he's no longer in, if memory serves.  But this is Emmett.  Sweet, sometimes conveniently gullible and/or naive Emmett.  So off we go....  Brian offers to help.  Em tells him about his "friend's" problem.  Which Brian knows is Emmett.  And WOW, Brian knows Dijon too....hehe.  (((Been, there.  Done him - kinda "knows")))  He proceeds to tell Em that due to the "Grandfather Clause" - meaning any prior engagements or dates you had outstanding before getting into a relationship are still viable and excusable - that Em's free to keep the "fuck date" with Dijon.   Right about now, I'd prefer to see them both WEARING Dijon - the mustard, over both their heads. 

Lindz and Dusty wheeling their babies down the street - swapping coupons and discussing the lectures they used to teach.  Lindz's art and Dusty's poetry.  Lindz says she feels like she's missing all the excitement.  (((Speaking of missing the excitement.  You two just rolled passed four hard-hatted construction workers and we didn't see one offensive gesture or loud-mouth remark....hmm.  Ohhhhhhhh, wait.  Maybe they're members of the Village People.  hehe....)))  That Mel's working to make the world better, and what's she doing?  Dusty says raising beautiful children to live in it.  Apparently, Dusty's talked to Mel and is under the impression that Lindz's agreed to have another child.  Lindz is totally surprised.  Not in a good way.....

Brian's at Michael's comic book store.  Dressed once more in black, jeans and leather.  Sitting on Michael's counter as they talk.  He asks what time's dinner, to which Michael says he and Ben are going for dinner at Deb's house.  Brian tells Michael he's going to an underwear party he's been invited too.  Brian pulls out a pair of sunglasses with the tag still attached and gives them to Michael.  Michael puts them on, and Brian adjusts the tag until it looks similar to a band-aid - al-laaah, who is it?  Nelly?  lol....  (((Hal does look fab in the shades, btw.)))  Brian asks if Michael wants to come with him, but Michael turns him down.  M: "You'll have to stay forever young, without me."  B: "I understand.  You're in a committed relationship with your - what is that hideous _expression - significant other.  Loser."  He leaves....lol. 

Night time, Michael's locking the metal gate down across his storefront.  When a black gloved hand suddenly covers his mouth and a voice says, "Do what I say, and I won't kiss you."  Uhmm hmm, sorry...lol.  "Do what I say, and I won't kill you...."  We see Michael very scared saying take it ease, only to find that it's Brian all along.  Brian who lights his cigarette with a toy gun lighter right beside Michael's ear.  Michael jerks free, shoving Brian backwards.  Brian laughs, "Caught you."  Michael shoves him again, saying Brian scared the shit out of him.  (((Let's hope not....lol)))  Brian says he's there to drop Michael off at Deb's.  He keeps pointing the toy gun at Michael, and Michael's telling him he's pathetic.  They play around as Brian says no Michael is, back and forth....lol. 

It's raining, Michael and Brian are in the Jeep.  Michael's asking when Brian's party starts.  "When I get there of course."  At which point Michael notices that Brian's intentionally missed the turn off to Deb's house.  B: "Or should I say, when WE get there."  haha...  To Michael's protests, Brian says sorry it's too late.  No going back.  Michael tries to call Ben, but Brian grabs the phone and puts it.....  Down his pants!!!!!  lol...  Brian shoves Michael back into his seat, saying "sit back and relax.  Oh and here's a little party outfit I got you."  He puts the white underwear from Torso on top of Michael's head.  lolllllllllll....  Michael is soooo not happy.  lol....

Emmett at Dijon's place.  Saying he's there to deliver the bad news in person.  (((Or was that.  Deliver news, I'm a bad person....grrrrrrrrrrr.)))  They play this scene up for HIGH humor.  Blatantly showing Dijon serving Em a drink like a flight attendant.  All the humor is on the absurdity of it all, and Em's fake I can't do this - even as he does it.  Em tries to leave, but lets Dijon pull him inside the apartment.  He says he's in a relationship, but mentions the Grandfather Clause.  Says he's going to honor his commitment, but then deliberately does the opposite.  "And while I would really like to stay for the in-flight entertainment...."  (((Side note, I just thought of how incredibly ICKY this setup is - besides the obvious.  The last airplane tryst Em was involved in led to him being trapped with his dead lover in a the plane loo.  Ewwww....)))  The scene ends with a view of Dijon pulling down his zipper. 

Deb leaving a message on Michael's cell.  Saying where the hell are you, my dinner's going to shit ...."love, mother."  lol....  Vic, Ben and she have been waiting for the kidnapped to arrive, but no go.  They figure out that it's a Brian kinda thing to do, not calling - blowing them off.  So Brian's to blame.  (((Hah - well, it is...lol.)))  Ben's saying why do you think he's out with Brian?  Vic and Deb mention that Michael's been out with Brian every night this week and last.  Ben says that Brian's hurting inside and needs a friend.  Deb says, "What an incredibly kind and compassionate thing to say.  You really are a hell of a nice guy."  Ben: "Thank you."  Debbie: "FUCK NICE!!!"  (((awwwwwwww....lol.))) She says Michael needs to be with Ben, not Brian.  "Unless you knock some sense into that boyfriend of yours, Brian's gonna keep dragging him off to God knows where.  And he should be here with you."  Ben says he can't control Michael.  Vic says why not, Deb's been doing it for years.  (((Need I mention one name???  D-A-V-I-D, D-A-V-I-D, D-A-V-I-D and David was his name-o.....snicker.  Let's alllll sing....lol.)))  D: "Let's just hope that Michael wakes up and realizes that he's just a substitute for Justin."  Ouchhhh....  (((One question - if he's now just a substitute for Justin.  Who was he a substitute for, for the oh I don't know - 14 or 15 years before Justin arrived???  Hmmm....  Dangerous question, but it's a point.)))  Vic says it's usually the substitute that's the last to know.

Lindz at home, in a reallllllllllllllll snit.  Very angry with Mel for supposedly making the decision for her about when to have another child.  Mel says she thought they decided.  Lindz said she'd think about it.  (((BTW - time the boiling kettle that starts to whistle - oh say ....... 30 seconds after she fills it up and put it on the burner to heat up.....snort.)))  L: "If you want to have another baby so badly, have it yourself."  M: "I can't believe you just said that."  The doctors told Mel she couldn't have kids.  Lindz says that's not true anymore, that there's a procedure Mel can have - laser zapping is mentioned - that would fix that.  Lindz says that Mel wants to play dad, to her mother earth...."but no cigar."  She leaves out....

Ewwwwwwwww....lol.  Justin's sitting with dear old dy...  okay, I won't go there  - with dear old dad.  Mr. Taylor and he are catching up.  Justin's saying he'll have a drink same as his father.  That he used to sneak alcohol at home....lol.  Justin's dad says Molly told him Justin was "better."  (((ASSWIPE!!!  So you got that info third-hand uhm?  fucker....)))  Mr. Taylor's "girlfriend" comes by, leaving for the night.  He goes to say goodbye.  Justin watches them.  Says she's pretty.  Her name's Laurie and they've been seeing each other for a year now.  Justin tries to show his dad his latest work, but Craig barely looks at it.  (((Fucker....lol.  Sorry, I have issues....as an art historian and as human being - with this putz.)))  One, "it's very good," and five seconds later, he's done looking.  Justin asks for financial help.  No go from Dad.  Who still wants his son to go to Dartmouth.  Justin figured that since he finished his first year with honors and in spite of the hand, that his father would change his mind.  Says his dad makes too much money for him to get aid, and that he can't work full time and still go.  Craig asks what about Brian.  Justin says they broke up.  Craig's very happy with that.  "Dad, I'm never going to be a business man.  And I'm never going to be straight."  Craig remembers when Justin was a kid, how he used strive to make Craig proud.  And in what has to be the first of THREE fucking excellent scenes of dialogue and character development that are in this one episode - Justin says:  "So now you're ashamed?  That I'm not the man you wanted me to be?  Well, I am the man that I want to be.  I'm the only man that I can be.  If you can't be proud of me for that, then that's your problem."  He leaves....

(((Oh, and here's a frightening thought.  How Brian Kinney -esque was Craig Taylor's Mid-Life Crisis Leather Jacket????  lolllllllllll.........)))

Brian and Michael entering the Underwear Party.  Michael's pissed.  Demanding the keys, saying he's going to leave Brian there.  (((Brian threw them across the room???  lol....  Well, he throws something which makes Michael think he has....lol.  That was funny.  )))  Brian says that's fine with him, and he reaches into his pants to pull out Michael's phone on demand.  Michael tries to call out, but the battery's dead.  Brian:  "I know I was feeding on its energy...."  (((With his crotch apparantly...lol.)))  Brian's stripping this whole time, btw.  Just slamming his jacket and clothes on a shelf.  (((See, me???  I'd be worried about my wallet.  My car keys....lol.)))  "Well, as long as you're here.  You might as well take off your clothes."  Brian says as he strips off his jeans and stands in only the black Torso underwear....lol.  Michael says he doesn't want to join the party.  Brian - getting all touchy feely, hands grabbing and pulling at Michael and his clothes - "You know this reminds me of the first time I blind-folded you (((the first time??? there have been others??? lol....))) and took you to the Liberty Baths.  You were soooo HOTTT.  Walking up and down the halls in your corduroy and your flannel."  Tugging at Michael's belt, "Loosen up."  M: "I said no."  Brian: "You'd rather watch?"  Wicked look on his face, as he grabs Michael by the shoulder and pulls him over to see into the room.  "That can be arranged."  He hugs Michael to his chest, back to front and points out a man - dark hair about Michael's height.  Speaking into Michael's ear, in a provocative tone, "You see that fine upstanding young man.  First I'm going to wear out his jaw on my cock.  Then I'm gonna reach around, back and start fingering...."  He kisses a stunned Michael on the back of the neck, then says, "Why not see for yourself."  He walks through a sea of men who are all wearing white undies...lol, but him - the dark knight.  He goes to the man, holding him just like he was Michael.  And proceeds to run his hands over the man's body - the whole while looking over into Michael's eyes.  Watching Michael as Michael watches him.  Michael squirms, mouth open and still he watches.  Brian's hands dipping into the man's underwear.  And then Brian kisses/bites the man on the back of the neck as the guy dips his own hands into his underwear.....   (((THUD....   And yes, if you look real close - or more than once.... uhmm hmmm, at the scene, you'll see that Gale's hands don't ever really touch the man's goods...lol.  He gets real close but the man usually gets there first.)))

Fucking excellent dialogue scene number 2!!!   Melanie at Liberty Diner in the middle of the night or reallllllly early in the morning - since the place is empty, working on legal briefs.  (((Hey, I could make a Brian/underwear analogy - but why not let you do it for me??? ha ha....)))  Deb's there, working the night shift.  Mel wants to be left alone, but this is Deb we're talking about - so that's not an option.  Deb says to tell her what the fuck's going on.  She tells Deb Lindz' opinion about Mel carrying the baby.  Deb says that's fair.  Mel says she never figured herself the birthing babies type, muss and fuss.  D: "Well, it's definitely not for the control freaks or the faint of heart."  M: "That lets me out."  And that Pain is not on her to do list.  Deb asks if she'd rather leave the dirty work to Lindz (((ouch  -  literally )))  Mel says that's not it.  "It's that she's braver.  And stronger.  And a better woman.  Than I'll ever be..."  D: "That's the biggest load of horseshit I ever heard.  I'm not telling you it isn't scary.  Cause it's fucking terrifying.  And I'm not telling you that it's not painful, though it seems I've forgotten that.  But I am telling you that having a kid is the number one, top rated experience in my life.  And I'd hate to see you deprive yourself of all that because you think you're not woman enough."  With a wink, she's done....  (((Amazing delivery.  The tone of Sharon's voice.  The soft emphasis....beautifully played.)))

Next morning, Ben running a blender which wakes Michael up.  Michael comes out all mussed, in black underwear that looks A LOT like the ones that Brian was wearing the night before.  ((( Hmmmm.....  Just teasing.)))  Michael's have a white band around the top....lol.  Ben's saying he didn't come in until like 2:45-ish....   (((Wait a minute.  You mean that Brian and Michael were at that place for over Five hours!!!  Or more???  D A M N....)))  Michael admits to being kidnapped, and having his phone shoved down Brian's pants....lol.  B: "Well, that is definitely out of your calling area."  Snicker....  Michael apologizes.  Ben says he's the one who told Michael to hang out with Brian, but since he'd moved in he did think Michael would be around "once in awhile."  Ben says he needs to move out, that maybe they aren't ready to live together.  He leaves....

The gym....  Em in shortie-shorts - Bright RED....doing quats .... HAHAHA...  Ted's there too.  Em sees Dijon's there, and fakes a strained muscle trying to get out of the room.  Unfortunately, Dijon comes up right then.  Totallllllly touching Em and making it obvious that something happened.  Even after Em introduces Ted as his boyfriend, Dijon whispers a proposition for the next time he's in town.  Ted's face crumbles.  It's a look of hurt like no other....   Oddly resigned hurt too.  Scott's on par.  Once Dijon leaves, Ted calls Em on what's very plain to see.  Em's trying to answer without answering.  But it's not working.  Damn....  Ted asks, "You did it with him didn't you?"  Em can't answer...  Ted drops his head, "Well, now I know what muscle you pulled."  And walks off....  OUCH.

Financial aid office.  Ethan's trying to talk them into not preventing Justin's "staggering gift" from reaching its full potential.  lol....   The woman's like, ok.  That would be ashamed.  Justin asks if there's any way to defer the cost so he can start school.  Only to find out that his tuition has already been paid.  Ethan thinks Justin's father changed his mind.  He kisses Justin, and the lady smiles.    She shakes his hand....

Brian's huge flat screen TV - Marlon Brando film on.  Brian's sitting there, in the light of the setting sun.  (((Hey, I'm not getting poetic.  Really, the whole loft's lit by fading sunlight.  Or Sunshine....  Think that's a metaphor for anything?  Or anyone??  lol....)))  Brian's mouthing every word of Marlon's dialogue along with the film.  The scene's focus is Brian's face, close up of his eyes.  A knock at the door.  He looks put out but doesn't move to answer, only to be surprised when the door slides open.  Looking over, he sees Justin.  Brian turns back to the screen.  B:  "You planning on coming in?  If you're looking for someone there's no one else here."  Justin: "For a change."  He asks if Brian got a new coffee table.  He did, very expensive.  Justin says he can't except Brian's paying his tuition.  Brian asks if anyone else is covering it, Justin says no.  B: "Then you can't afford not to."  Justin says they aren't together....  B: "We signed an agreement.  I'll pay for your school, you pay me back with interest."  J: "You don't have to honor it."  B: "A deal's a deal."  J: "I could be poor for a long time."  Brian laughs, "Well, knowing your tastes - you better not be."  J: "It's not like I have a shit load of money making opportunities."  B: "You have one."  Justin bows his head....  (((RAGE, RAGE, RAGE echoing silently through the room....lol.))) Justin starts to leave, but Brian stops him.  Saying to take his computer with him.  J: "It's yours."  Brian, looking very pissed at the screen and not at Justin - "Bullshit.  You need it.  Take it."  Justin does....

Fucking Fantastic Dialogue Scene Number 3!!!!!!!!!!  And may I say, THE kick ass scene of the whole show - for over all effect and perfection of acting.  Scott and Peter are amazinggggggggggggggggggggggggg.  I can't say that any other way. 

Ted's absolutely furious.  Yelling at Em at his net porn business, about the absurdity of the Grandfather clause.  ((( Indeed.... We should all sue Dr. Kinney for malpractice....  Though it was Em's decision.)))  Ted tells Emmett to go.  And here's were it gets GOOD.  Heart achingly good.  Em almost leaves, but turns back to Ted.  E: "You know what I wish more than anything in the world right now?  I wish I could talk to my best friend, Teddy.  Cause he's so wise and caring.  Only now, he's my boyfriend and well there are just some things you can't say to your boyfriend.  No matter how much you love him."  Ted, still looking angry says, "Okay, what is it?"  Emmett, voice breaking and tears in his eyes.  "I don't know what's wrong with me.  I mean, I must be crazy.  I no sooner get together with this really wonderful guy, then I go and do something with someone that means absolutely nothing to me.  I mean, why do I do these things?"  T: "Because you never met a cock you didn't like."  Em laughs very sadly.  T: "It's part of your charm, so don't be so hard on yourself.  That's your best friend speaking."  But with true hurt and suffering anger, Ted says now, "but as your boyfriend.  I have to say that what you did was a flagrant betrayal.  I'm not sure that I can ever trust you again."  Em looks empty....  Ted: "Then again as your best friend, it's understandable that you'd give into temptation.  I mean, you've been single all these years.  It's not easy to settle down overnight.  Still it's one thing to know that as your best friend, it's another to except it as your lover."  (((Damn.....great last line.)))  Em, wrecked.  "I'm sorry Teddy, for hurting you and for destroying what we might have had."  He drops his head as he cries.  Ted closes his eyes, then looks at Em, and gives Em something to wipe his tears.  Em: "I don't blame you for hating me."  T: "I don't hate you.  I love you.  I know you VERY well.  And I still love you...."  Em:  "Are you saying that as my best friend or my lover?"  Ted: "Both," with a smile.  Em breaks down, and Ted pulls him into a hug.  Em: "I'm sorry, honey.  I'm so sorry."  Ted: "I know."  He rubs Em's back and the scene ends.....  (((Damn....)))

Justin entering Michael's store.  Saying he's open late.  Michael says it's for inventory.  (((Course we see him working hard at it by reading a comic book....lol.))) Michael gives Justin his half of the Rage money they've earned.  $600.00.  Saying he meant to bring it by the diner, but...   Justin clears his throat and tells Michael, "Okay, I was thinking.  What if JT plays the trumpet for his high school band, and Rage teaches him with his mind control powers to play a note that is so loud and so high that he can blow things up."  Michael smiles, "Like his homophobic principal.  Not bad."  Justin: "It's fucking genius and you know it."  They smile at each other.  M: "Except I thought you didn't want to work together anymore."  Justin: "A deal's a deal."  Justin leaves...  Michael's phone rings.  He looks at the caller ID and laughs.  M: "Where are you?"  Brian: "Where you never grow old.  Where everything is beautiful.  Come on, Mikey.  We can be beautiful together, just you and me."  Michael's saying he can't, that he's got to go home.  M: "And if I'm lucky, he'll be there." 

Cut to Brian at Babylon, on the dance floor.  Dancing by himself under pinks lights...as the crowd starts spinning around him at high speed, then slowing down, then spinning up again.

The end.....

hugs

Next week -

Michael and Brian test driving the Black Corvette - Stingray.  Michael saying it must be a mid-life crisis.  (((Well, considering that Justin's dad is raiding Brian's wardrobe, he's got to do something that'll be all his own.....lol.)))  Mel telling Lindz she can get pregnant right away.  Horvath and Deb flirting...  Ted and Em at Deb's kitchen table with TONS of Dildos - there to teach her the art of Oral Sex....snicker.  Mel saying all they have to do is pick a donor - Lindz saying she thought they already had one.  Justin with Ethan at a get together saying he has to leave.  Justin walking up to Brian, who says, "You made it."
