　　As Parker drones on Chris looks around the party. Dean schmoozes animatedly with two couples. He quickly scans the party， finds Chris and points him out. The two couples wave
　　and smile giddily. They had all just been talking about him.
　　
　　Chris pretends to not see this.
　　ROSE
　　“Advantageous？”
　　
　　Suddenly， Chris sees another black guy walking through the crowd. Relief. It is Andre， the jogger from the first scene， but he’s very different than before.
　　He seems glazed-over with the same frozen smile as Walter and Georgina， and wears a particularly square ascot and golfing hat.
　　
　　PARKER
　　Fairer skin is has been in favor’ the last couple of thousands of years， but the pendulum has swung back again hasn’t it……？
　　
　　CHRIS
　　I’m sorry. I’m going to get another drink.
　　
　　Chris walks away.
　　
　　PARKER
　　I didn’t mean to offend him.
　　
　　ROSE
　　Really？ ‘Cause you have yet to say anything that’s not a blanket statement about race.
　　
　　PARKER
　　Now， Rose.--
　　
　　EXT. BACKYARD - MOMENTS LATER
　　
　　Andre stands by the bar and makes himself a Martini. Chris approaches him.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　It’s good to see another brother around here.
　　
　　Andre turns to face Chris neatly. Andre’s voice is completely different from the first scene. There is no longer any trace of an urban dialect. He speaks in a lower pitch and slow， enunciating his words precisely.
　　
　　ANDRE
　　Yes， of course it is.
　　
　　Chris expects Andre to engage more. He doesn’t. He just stares at him smiling.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Who do you know？
　　
　　ANDRE
　　Why， the Armitage’s of course. We’re friends of the family.
　　
　　PHIL， 65， a craggy effeminate man with manicured eyebrows， cuts between them.
　　
　　PHIL
　　（to Andre）
　　There you are. Here， put this somewhere.
　　
　　Phil hands his napkin to Andre who pockets it obediently. Phil places his hand on Andre’s back possessively.
　　
　　PHIL （CONT’D）
　　（to Chris）
　　Oh， hello. I’m Phil…… and you are……？
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Chris. Rose’s boyfriend.
　　
　　PHIL
　　Fantastic. Logan and I know Rose very well.
　　
　　ANDRE
　　I’m sorry， where are my manners. Logan， Logan King. （To Phil） Chris was just telling me that he felt more comfortable with my being here.
　　
　　Chris is let down. Andre isn’t what he had hoped.
　　
　　PHIL
　　That’s nice. Logan， I hate to tear you away， dear， but the Wincott’s were asking about you.
　　ANDRE/LOGAN
　　Ah， well it was nice meeting you Chris.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Sure.
　　
　　Chris holds out his fist for Andre/Logan to bump. Andre/Logan shakes Chris’ fist and then， realizing his error fist bumps him like it’s the first time.
　　
　　Andre/Logan and Phil laugh and walk away. They join a small group of people who applaud Andre’s arrival. Andre does a little spin showing off his clothes.
　　
　　EXT. BACKYARD - MOMENTS LATER
　　
　　Chris comes back to Rose. He is more creeped out and agitated.
　　
　　ROSE
　　Where’s your drink？
　　
　　CHRIS
　　What？ Oh， I forgot.
　　
　　Dean projects over the crowd.
　　
　　DEAN
　　Hello!
　　
　　Everyone applauds and gives Dean their attention.
　　
　　DEAN （CONT’D）
　　Achem! Once again， I want to thank you all for coming. Words cannot express how much it means to us that after all these years we can all still get together and share. I’m reminded of stories of how the knights of old would gather in honor of a new crusade……
　　
　　EXT. GAZEBO. DAY.
　　
　　During Dean’s speech， Chris wanders away from the group.
　　
　　JIM
　　Ignorant shit……
　　
　　Chris hadn’t seen Jim Hudson， the blind man， who sits in the gazebo with his seeing eye dog. He is close to Chris， but far enough away from the group that no one else hears them.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　Who？
　　
　　JIM
　　All of them. Ignorant assholes. They have no idea what real people go through.
　　
　　CHRIS
　　I guess people only see what’s in front of them.
