Seize the Day

Hi, my name is Jeremy.

ME: Oh my God.
DAVIS: What is it?

I can't show Davis.

ME: Nothing.

It's a letter offering me employment at a theater in Minneapolis over the summer.

This is amazing.

Which means--

ME: Davis can't know anything about it.
HANK: Why not?

Hank and I were eating dinner and discussing my options.

ME: He would flip.
HANK: So you're not going to go?
ME: No! I have to go.
HANK: So...
ME: I know.

This was going to be a problem.

ME: Maybe I can tell him tomorrow.
HANK: At Pride?
ME: At least we'll be in public. He won't throw things.
HANK: Davis?
ME: Good point. I'm screwed.
VOICE: Hey guys.

Billy asked if I wanted to see an early screening of The X-Files movie--uh...YES, I'm a nerd, I know--so I had him meet me at the restaurant.

BILLY: What are you guys talking about?
HANK: Jeremy's leaving us. He's going to Minnesota where it's cold and there are cows.
ME: So what if there are cows?
HANK: I don't trust any place with cows.
ME: Rhode Island has cows.
HANK: Yeah but we don't trot them out for everyone to see.
ME: Remind me to drug test you before I leave.
BILLY: Wait...you're leaving?
ME: Just for the summer.
BILLY: But...uh...
ME: What?

He looked upset about it. More than I would imagine.

BILLY: Nothing.

I maybe should have looked into that more, but I had something else on my mind.

Namely, keeping Davis and still taking off...
