WILL
That’’s why I love stock-car racin’’.
That Dale Ernhart’’s real good.
PSYCHOLOGIST
Now you know Will, and I know, what
you need to be doing. You have a gift.
WILL
I could work the pit maybe, but I could
never drive like Dale Ernhart--
PSYCHOLOGIST
--you have a quality-- something you
were born with, that you have no control
over- and you are, in a sense, hiding
that by becoming a janitor. And I’’m
not saying that’’s wrong. I’’m friends
with the janitor that works in my
building. He’’s been to my house for
dinner. As a matter of fact I did
some free consultation for "Mike" --
that’’s not his real name. That’’s in
my book.
WILL
Yeah, I read your book. "Mike" had the
same problems as "Chad" the stockbroker.
PSYCHOLOGIST
Yes. The pressures you feel, and again, I
am neither labeling nor judging them,
are keeping you from fulfilling your
potential -- you’’re in a rut. So stop
the Tom Foolery -- the Shenanigan’’s,
Will.
WILL
You’’re right. I know.
PSYCHOLOGIST
Will, your not getting off that easy.
WILL
No, but, I mean you know……I do other
things. That no one knows about.
PSYCHOLOGIST
Like what, Will?
WILL
I go places, I interact.
PSYCHOLOGIST
What places?
WILL
Certain, clubs.
(beat)
Like, Paradise. It’’s not bad.
Will gives the Psychologist a furtive look.
WILL (cont’’d)
It’’s just that feeling when you can
take your shirt off and really dance.
(beat)
When the music owns you. Do you
understand?
PSYCHOLOGIST
I might understand that.
WILL
Do you find it hard to hide the fact
that you’’re gay?
PSYCHOLOGIST
What?
WILL
C’’mon, I read your book. I talked to
you. It’’s just something I know to be
true.
PSYCHOLOGIST
That’’s very presumptuous.
WILL
Buddy, two seconds ago you were
ready to give me a jump.
PSYCHOLOGIST
(a little laugh)
Well, I’’m sorry to disappoint you, but
I’’m married and I have two children.
WILL
I’’m sure you do. You probably got a
real nice house, nice car -- your book’’s
a best seller.
PSYCHOLOGIST
You’’re getting defensive, Will.
WILL
Look, man. I don’’t care if you’’re
putting from the rough. There are
solid arguments that some of the
greatest people in history were gay;
Alexander the Great, Caeser,
Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Napoleon,
Gertrude Stein, not to mention Danny
Terrio, not many straight men can dance
like that.
PSYCHOLOGIST
Who is "Danny Terrio?"
WILL
That’’s why I love stock-car racin’’.
That Dale Ernhart’’s real good.
