00:03:15from Bianca Jagger and David Bowie, or will your collection fall flat on its face?
00:03:24To your places, ladies. To your places.
00:03:30Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Quiet, please. Silence. Judges, challenging though it may be,
00:03:44the future is in your hands now. Electra first, as she is reigning champion, it is her honor.
00:03:50Scores, please. Ten. Ten. Ten. Ten. Nine. Nine? Are you blind in one eye? Have you lost your ability
00:04:00to count to ten? I demand an explanation. I would give you an explanation if your outfit
00:04:05didn't look like the inside of a coffin. Ooh, shade of the panel.
00:04:13It's fixed. It's fixed. Who paid you, honey? Who paid you?
00:04:17Now for Ms. Blanca. Scores, please. Ten. Ten. Ten. Ten. Ten. Grand prize. Blanca.
00:04:26Evangelista.
00:04:29Congratulations.
00:04:46I must inform the audience that after tonight's performance, there is another contender for Mother of the Year.
00:04:53Ms. Blanca has ushered a new legendary house into the forefront of the ball world.
00:04:58Blanca! Blanca! Blanca! Blanca!
00:05:06I'm so proud of you.
00:05:10Pride goeth forth before the fall. That win was pure luck. The judges were merely showing
00:05:16sympathy for your virgin legendary walk. Or perhaps the fix was in. I know it was
00:05:21pray tell who helped you make that ill-fitting potato sack you had dripped over your bones tonight.
00:05:25Who's to say he didn't tell the judges to adjust my score so you and he can share a moment
00:05:29of glory?
00:05:29You lost fair and square and you know it. I suggest you get used to it.
00:05:33Sir, please! You are the cracker barrel to my Gucci and Saint Laurent.
00:05:39I'm so agitated, Electra. And here I thought old age would mellow a bitch.
00:05:46It takes more than two trophies to become a legendary house and take Mother of the Year.
00:05:51I would know. I've won it six times.
00:05:54True. We aren't where you are. But we'll get there. And soon everything new will be old and everything old,
00:06:01meaning you, will be in the gutter looking up at my perfectly sewn hemline. Now, the only house I'm worried
00:06:07about at the moment is the International House of Pancakes,
00:06:10where we will celebrate and raise a fork of the rooty-tootie fresh and fruity to your inevitable demise.
00:06:21You read her. She doesn't have to. I gotta go.
00:06:31Hey, you're an evangelista, right? Yeah. Y'all showed out in there tonight. Thanks.
00:06:44I'm Damon. I'm Ricky.
00:06:48Did you take a bath in Carol's Play of Cologne tonight?
00:06:52Too much?
00:06:53It's the right amount if you're trying to cover up the stench of a dead body.
00:06:58No, I like it. You smell good. Thank you.
00:07:04What? You like my tank top? It's Willie Wear. I mopped it from Macy's.
00:07:08I tie rubber bands around the bottom of my sweats. I could stuff anything down there. Just walk out.
00:07:17You thought of that yourself? Smart.
00:07:21You like smart boys? If they're cute.
00:07:27Excuse me. Oh, okay.
00:07:41Oh, man. You want to go grab a slice or something? On me.
00:07:46You mean like a date?
00:07:47I mean, I'm smart and cute and I smell good.
00:07:52I mean, you could do a lot worse.
00:07:57Okay, but can we go sit at dinner and talk first? I mean, isn't that what you're supposed to do
00:08:02on a date?
00:08:04Oh, let's see.
00:08:08Sitting with waitresses, which means tips. Slice and a stroll is my day to date.
00:08:14I'm gonna go get my stuff. Don't go no way.
00:08:23What was all of that?
00:08:24He asked me if I can go on a date. Can I go?
00:08:26He looks like trouble. But they're always the ones I like, too.
00:08:30Don't do nothing stupid. Be back by 3 a.m. No minute later. Understand?
00:08:35Yes, mother.
00:08:46I don't get the hype around Janet. But she ain't Michael.
00:08:52That's the point. She's not trying to be Michael. She's stepping out.
00:08:56No daddy, no husband. Just Janet on her own.
00:09:01I mean, she's going for her dreams. And I love her for that. I want that.
00:09:11Anyway, you're sleeping on Janet. I mean, in 20 years, you're gonna look back and tell me I was right.
00:09:17Hey, you think we're gonna know each other in 20 years?
00:09:22I don't know. I hope.
00:09:28It's cool. We with our people. No one's gonna do anything.
00:09:41Come on.
00:09:45I want to show you something.
00:09:51Where are you going?
00:10:13Where are you?
00:10:14Over here.
00:10:29It's beautiful, right?
00:10:31This is my favorite spot.
00:10:34What's that smell? It stinks in here.
00:10:35I didn't realize you were so bougie.
00:10:38It's all right. I ain't in the thugs.
00:10:44I don't know how to do this.
00:10:46Know how to do what?
00:10:50I've never kissed anyone before.
00:10:57Um...
00:11:10I don't want to be alone with you ever since I first saw you.
00:11:13Me too.
00:11:19Wait, we're moving too fast.
00:11:20Ah, but I'm in love with you.
00:11:22What? You just met me.
00:11:24I know, but it's like I've known you my whole life.
00:11:27Come on, let's have some fun before you meet someone better.
00:11:32I won't meet anybody better.
00:11:33Oh yeah, you will.
00:11:35You're gonna be a star.
00:11:37Don't forget all about me.
00:11:39You really think I'm gonna be a star?
00:11:40Of course.
00:11:42I believe in you.
00:11:54Ricky, Ricky, what?
00:11:58I'm not ready.
00:12:01I'm sorry.
00:12:05Maybe we can go on a few dates first?
00:12:11Yeah, sure.
00:12:15How about next Saturday?
00:12:17We can grab a slice, catch a movie?
00:12:21Yeah, like that.
00:12:23Cool.
00:12:27It's a night.
00:12:33Come on, let's go.
00:12:36Bougie.
00:12:37These things are here.
00:12:39Oh God.
00:12:40Let me take a minute.
00:12:45Oh God.
00:12:51Wait.
00:12:52Yeah.
00:13:00Huh?
00:13:01I don't know what that's going on.
00:13:05Oh God.
00:13:06Oh God.
00:13:07Oh God.
00:13:08Oh God.
00:13:10Oh God.
00:13:24Damon?
00:13:28Yeah?
00:13:43Sit down.
00:13:53Where have you been?
00:13:58Ricky took me to the pier.
00:14:00You're two hours late.
00:14:01I won't tolerate you breaking my rules.
00:14:05Were you out drinking?
00:14:07No.
00:14:08Did he give you any drugs?
00:14:10Ma'am.
00:14:11Heather.
00:14:12So what possible reason could you have for disobeying me?
00:14:16Did you have sex?
00:14:18No.
00:14:20We...
00:14:22We kissed.
00:14:23And?
00:14:23That's it.
00:14:24He wanted to do more, but...
00:14:30I didn't want my first time to be at the pier.
00:14:37Did your daddy ever give you the talk?
00:14:39Okay.
00:14:41The talk?
00:14:42The birds and the bees.
00:14:44Yeah.
00:14:45He did.
00:14:48It was really awful.
00:14:50He was saying all this stuff about women's anatomy and things like that.
00:14:54And the whole time I was thinking, this is not the information I need to get.
00:15:00Like, sweet baby Jesus, this is not helping me.
00:15:02But, you know, I couldn't ask him the questions I really wanted to know, which was about what men do
00:15:08together and stuff, or I'd be found out.
00:15:17And I was afraid he'd kill me.
00:15:20Well, here's what no one would tell you about me.
00:15:25Gay life is hard.
00:15:37I don't need these.
00:15:39I'm not planning on having sex with Ricky.
00:15:40Oh, child, no one ever plans on having sex.
00:15:42And I can't be your mother and your conscience.
00:15:44I'm not going to always be here to protect you.
00:15:47You are a good-looking young man.
00:15:49And soon, you are going to want to start exploring.
00:15:51But you've got to make smart choices.
00:15:53Now, as a gay man, you have options when it comes to sex.
00:15:56You can be a top or a bottom.
00:15:59How will I know which one I am?
00:16:01Well, there's no rule book.
00:16:03Sometimes you want to give.
00:16:04Sometimes you want to receive.
00:16:06Sometimes you want all the pleasure.
00:16:08It's up to you.
00:16:09What if I'm a bottom, and I fall for another bottom?
00:16:13Oh, don't.
00:16:14You said there was no rules.
00:16:15Oh, so what y'all going to be doing?
00:16:16Bumping purses all night?
00:16:21Look, don't overthink it.
00:16:24When you find the right guy, you'll figure it out.
00:16:27Just promise me you'll protect yourself.
00:16:29There's a virus out there, and if you catch it, it will kill you.
00:16:33If you need condoms, you go and ask for them.
00:16:35And if I'm not around, you go to the clinic.
00:16:37Understood?
00:16:39Yes, mother.
00:16:46When will I know that I'm ready?
00:16:49Well, when you have sex, that's your decision to make.
00:16:52No one else's.
00:16:54Just listen to that voice in your head.
00:16:56The one that told you to come to New York.
00:16:58That voice is intuition.
00:17:00And I promise you, she'll guide you.
00:17:01And if you ever feel unsure about what that bitch has to say,
00:17:04you come straight home to mother.
00:17:26Damon, if I could go back in time and make different choices, I would.
00:17:33Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:41Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:48Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:51Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:55Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:56Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:56Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:56Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:56Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:57Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:17:58Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:18:00Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:18:02Don't ever give away your gifts for no one.
00:18:19I don't know.
00:18:32Hey, you found it!
00:18:36This better be worth it, because I'm Mr. 227 to come meet your ass.
00:18:41Why are we meeting you?
00:18:43Is this some kind of joke?
00:18:44No, it was in the Village of Voice.
00:18:46Best gay bar in Manhattan.
00:18:48Two years running.
00:18:49I wanted something special to celebrate me snagging my first trophy.
00:18:52Oh, you do know they don't serve our kind here.
00:18:54Bitch, shut up.
00:18:56Our money is just as good as anyone's.
00:18:58Happy Halloween, ladies.
00:19:01I'm done.
00:19:02No, one drink.
00:19:06I got a proposition for you.
00:19:08My house is going to crush all others.
00:19:11They're going to place a statue on the piers to commemorate us one day.
00:19:15Big talk after one trophy.
00:19:18Now's the time to get in line before the line to get in starts to sneak its way around the
00:19:22block.
00:19:24I need a lieutenant.
00:19:26A second in command.
00:19:28Who, me?
00:19:29You hate Electra just as much as anyone.
00:19:31All she does is look down on you, bragging about her rich daddy and her wheezy Jefferson apartment up on
00:19:36the east side.
00:19:37She don't care about you.
00:19:39And I'm not just starting a house.
00:19:41We're going to be a family that looks out for one another.
00:19:45Electra would rip your weave right off of your head if she knew you was trying to steal me away.
00:19:49Oh, so what?
00:19:50You want to tell her?
00:19:51Fuck her.
00:19:52I ain't got no loyalty to her.
00:19:54But she helps me win.
00:19:56And I like to win.
00:19:57Which means joining a house that ain't no more than a toddler still soiling in his diapers ain't never going
00:20:03to happen.
00:20:05Besides, maybe I want to start my own house one day.
00:20:10Well, hello, handsome.
00:20:13I'll have a Manhattan and my friend here is going to have a Malibu rum and tab on the rocks.
00:20:20This one's on me.
00:20:21Then you gotta go.
00:20:22I got ten guys in here asking me if it's drag night.
00:20:25I'm sorry, we're not in drag.
00:20:27We're women.
00:20:28Even better.
00:20:29We don't like women in here.
00:20:30This is a gay bar.
00:20:31Well, I want to see a manager.
00:20:35Girl, why you always gotta pick fights you can't win?
00:20:38Because these are the ones worth fighting.
00:20:40I'm Mitchell, the manager.
00:20:41Can we speak outside where it's quieter?
00:20:52How could you discriminate against me in my own community?
00:20:55This bar is called Boy Lounge.
00:20:57We have a specific clientele.
00:21:00Gay, under 35.
00:21:02White?
00:21:02Frankly, yes.
00:21:04The New York City nightlife is segregated.
00:21:06Look, I've got a friend.
00:21:07She works at the cubbyhole.
00:21:08I'll call her.
00:21:09You guys can go.
00:21:10You can drink free all night.
00:21:11But I don't want that scene tonight.
00:21:12I'm sorry.
00:21:13I'm not throwing a costume party.
00:21:16Oh, this is not over.
00:21:18Bitch, it was over before it started.
00:21:21Everybody needs someone to make them feel superior.
00:21:24That line ends with us, though.
00:21:26This shit runs downhill past the women, the blacks, Latins, gays, until it reaches the bottom and lands on our
00:21:32kind.
00:21:36Five, six, seven, eight.
00:21:38Reach.
00:21:40Uh-huh.
00:21:41And eight.
00:21:42That's right.
00:21:43Oh.
00:21:45Uh-huh.
00:21:47Yes.
00:21:48Yes.
00:21:50Five, six, seven, eight.
00:21:53Yes.
00:21:54Reach.
00:21:55Uh-huh.
00:21:56And.
00:21:57Breathing.
00:22:00Uh-huh.
00:22:01Uh-huh.
00:22:01Uh-huh.
00:22:02Uh-huh.
00:22:03All right, everybody.
00:22:05That's the day.
00:22:21Mr. Richards.
00:22:24You weren't rehearsing today.
00:22:26I wasn't?
00:22:27No.
00:22:28You were dancing.
00:22:30Rehearsal is getting ready for life.
00:22:32Dancing is living it.
00:22:34For an artist, greatness happens when you can take something organized and make it feel like it was improvised.
00:22:42You've been doing that, and that's a skill I cannot teach.
00:22:46You either have it or you don't.
00:22:48Great job.
00:22:49I'm impressed.
00:22:51Thank you so much.
00:22:52That means so much to me.
00:22:53I'm taking some students to the ballet on Saturday night, mostly seniors, but one of them has the flu, so
00:22:58I have an extra ticket.
00:22:59It's a story of heartbreak, betrayal, revenge, the redemptive power of true love.
00:23:05That sounds like a play or something.
00:23:06Dancers tell stories with their bodies.
00:23:08Technique is nothing if it doesn't reveal some personal truth.
00:23:12Be outside Roosevelt Hall at 7 on Saturday night.
00:23:15This is a big opportunity for you.
00:23:17Don't blow it.
00:23:18I'll be there.
00:23:32Why are you eating like this is your last meal?
00:23:34Because this food is bomb.
00:23:35Close your mouth, foot rat.
00:23:37Oh my God.
00:23:42Um, excuse me, where the hell are you going?
00:23:44Sit your ass down.
00:23:45We are having a mandatory family meeting.
00:23:48And where did that come from?
00:23:51I bought it.
00:23:52With what money?
00:23:53Money.
00:23:53Oh, how does anyone make good money these days?
00:23:56Waiting tables, cleaning gutters, working as a street pharmacist.
00:24:01You don't mind your business.
00:24:03Are you dealing?
00:24:03No.
00:24:04If I find out that you're doing anything illegal, you will be out of this house.
00:24:07Do you understand?
00:24:08Yep.
00:24:09Here you go.
00:24:10See, now, if that was me, I would have got my ass read like a library book.
00:24:14Where did you get that jacket from?
00:24:16Oh, I bought it at the Goodwill in the dollar bin.
00:24:19My dance instructor is taking me to the ballet this Saturday.
00:24:23Oh, you fancy, huh?
00:24:26Well, that is the moment to celebrate.
00:24:28One of my children is going to the ballet.
00:24:31I mean, I was supposed to have a date with Ricky, but I don't have his phone number to reschedule.
00:24:36Don't really matter if you show up.
00:24:38Ricky's a hidden and quitter type.
00:24:39Trust and believe you've already been replaced.
00:24:42Okay, that's enough.
00:24:43Damon, soak this moment up, okay?
00:24:46This is just the beginning of many more doors like this one opening for you, for all of us.
00:24:50You made your mother proud.
00:24:55All right, now, I got something to share with all of y'all.
00:24:58This may come as a shock, but I'm not going to be competing in the St. Laurent Ball this weekend.
00:25:03What?
00:25:04Why?
00:25:05There are things more important than prizes, like my dignity.
00:25:09I mean, did something happen?
00:25:10I went to a gay bar downtown for a celebratory cocktail, and the bastards refused to serve me.
00:25:15I don't understand.
00:25:16I mean, if they're gay, why do they turn you away?
00:25:18Gay, straight, it's going to matter.
00:25:21They all think we got psychological issues.
00:25:24They don't see us as real.
00:25:27It's not fair.
00:25:29Nothing in life is fair, but that's okay, though.
00:25:32I'm going to do something about it, so that my children's world is better than the one I grew up
00:25:36in.
00:25:48I'm going to do something about it, so that my children's world is better than the one I grew up
00:26:05in.
00:26:05I'm in Manhattan.
00:26:05I want to drink just like everybody else.
00:26:25I should be able to drink forever I want!
00:26:28I should be able to drink whatever I want!
00:26:38Hey, New Jersey boy.
00:26:40How do you like the new Deville?
00:26:41Like driving a cloud.
00:26:42I told him to get the new Deville.
00:26:43He's got a good eye for style, but he needs a little help with the professionals.
00:26:48Hey, how you doing?
00:26:50Come on in.
00:27:05We never used to have so many.
00:27:10Yeah, this is what success looks like.
00:27:13You think we're successful enough to get a dishwasher?
00:27:15You serious?
00:27:16Do you see how underwater we are now?
00:27:17Look at all this.
00:27:19We have a Cadillac in the garage.
00:27:21There's a ball gown in mine that costs $900 that I've worn once.
00:27:24If we don't have any money, then how are you paying for all these things?
00:27:26We need all that stuff.
00:27:27We need a dishwasher.
00:27:29We have a baby, and I'm up doing dishes by hand until the Tonight Show starts.
00:27:36You don't understand how it works out there in Manhattan, okay?
00:27:38You have to look the part, or they won't let you into the big club.
00:27:41You wore that gown to the big event at 21 the other night, and now they all think you're one
00:27:44of them.
00:27:45So what?
00:27:46So what?
00:27:49You know anybody with a corner office in one of those skyscrapers in Midtown?
00:27:52Or a place of Montauk of their own?
00:27:54No.
00:27:54No, you don't.
00:27:55Because people like us don't get invited.
00:27:57We don't get a shot at it.
00:27:58But I got a one-in-a-million chance here, and I made that happen because I'm adaptable.
00:28:02I know how to play the part.
00:28:03But you have no idea how much pressure that puts on me.
00:28:06I have to be on 100% of the time.
00:28:08And I can't do that if you're second-guessing me and pressuring me to buy things you don't need and
00:28:13that we can't afford.
00:28:14Baby, baby.
00:28:16Is any of this really worth it?
00:28:21I gotta go back to the office.
00:28:23It's Saturday.
00:28:24Yeah, it's Saturday.
00:28:26If I'm gonna have to put up with this version of you, I should at least get a dishwasher out
00:28:29of it.
00:28:32Asshole.
00:28:53Mr. Richards, I'm glad you could join us.
00:28:58You're looking sharp.
00:28:59Really?
00:29:00Mm-hmm.
00:29:01Thanks.
00:29:02Ah, showtime.
00:29:03Let's find our seats.
00:29:06Let's find our seats.
00:29:10All right.
00:29:11Let's find our seats.
00:29:12Let's see.
00:29:15Let's foreign' me.
00:29:21Let's come.
00:29:21Oh.
00:29:26Oh.
00:29:27Oh.
00:29:27Oh.
00:29:30Oh.
00:29:31Oh.
00:29:32Oh.
00:29:36Oh.
00:31:09You a cop?
00:31:11I'm looking for Angel.
00:31:12I'm a friend.
00:31:13I'm sure you are.
00:31:15She's working in Doors now.
00:31:17Me, myself, I prefer the fresh air.
00:31:18You mean like she got a regular job at a store or something?
00:31:22You know that place in Times Square?
00:31:24Showgirl.
00:31:26Go give her a visit.
00:31:27Go give her a visit.
00:32:26Got to buy tokens here.
00:32:27Ten dollar minimum.
00:32:31How's it work if I'm looking for someone specific?
00:32:34Here to see Angel?
00:32:36Yeah, he's popular.
00:32:38She.
00:32:40Whatever you say, boss.
00:32:42Second to last door on the left.
00:33:08I'm sure.
00:33:37Wow.
00:33:40If it isn't my uptown businessman, I knew you'd find me.
00:33:45You can't stay away from your angel too long.
00:33:51Why are you here? This place isn't right for you.
00:33:55I make $125 a night here, and no one touches me.
00:34:00Don't you want me to be safe?
00:34:02I get jealous that so many men see you like this.
00:34:07Does that make you mad?
00:34:09Do I look like a kept woman to you?
00:34:14A kept woman would be in a high-rise apartment in Riverdale with a refrigerator full of groceries and a
00:34:21mink coat in her closet.
00:34:36Do you ever do things with guys here?
00:34:40Sweetheart, a lady never tells.
00:34:43And I'm not appreciating your attitude, especially considering this is the first time I'm seeing you in three weeks.
00:34:57I can't stop thinking about you.
00:35:00At work, when I'm in bed with my wife.
00:35:03I drive by the piers almost every night, but I get too scared to pull over.
00:35:08I'm scared of one.
00:35:12I don't like you in a place like this.
00:35:17Well, he needs to make a living.
00:35:20Can I take you to get some food, coffee or something?
00:35:28I have break in an hour.
00:35:30We can walk to a diner.
00:35:31Okay.
00:35:34Where should I leave for you?
00:35:54The category is Dynasty.
00:35:57I want to see all the rich bitch fantasy in full effect.
00:36:02Where should I leave for you?
00:36:04Where should I leave for you?
00:36:05Are you going to sleep with me?
00:36:06There's a certain feeling in you.
00:36:08Ahh, yes!
00:36:09Looking like a ghetto Banji Ballard.
00:36:13Work on my Ford floor.
00:36:15Yes!
00:36:17Here we have Darlene Devereux, replete with bow,
00:36:22Darling, the champagne is burnt.
00:36:30Oh, and what have we here?
00:36:32Bringing her best attempt at Heather Loughlin.
00:36:36Mmm, darling, more like T.J. Hawker.
00:36:44Is it Crystal Carrington?
00:36:47Linda Evans?
00:36:48Oh, my children, I'm afraid that this show is about to be canceled.
00:36:52Children, and I repeat, the category is Dynasty, not goddamn Falcon Crest.
00:37:01We don't need no spinoffs up in this bitch.
00:37:07The Elgarza!
00:37:09Ms. Electra is bringing us Alexis Carrington in full effect.
00:37:13Show them how it's done.
00:37:15Show them how it's done.
00:37:16The Elgarza!
00:37:32Show them how it's done.
00:37:36And the scores are ten, ten, ten, tens across the board.
00:37:40And the grand prize goes to, with no competition, Miss Elektra, Abunda.
00:37:53Once again, she brings it every time.
00:37:57She brings it every time.
00:38:16Why the attitude? We did amazing tonight.
00:38:19A victory is hollow if there's no real competition.
00:38:21How dare the House of Evangelista not show their faces tonight?
00:38:23Where the fuck was Blanca?
00:38:28Is this a life you want? Dancing in a place like that?
00:38:32It's safe behind a glass. Money's good, and I like being admired.
00:38:41I don't like other men touching you.
00:38:44How much do you make a week?
00:38:48You're trying to put me on a retainer, sweetheart?
00:38:50I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that.
00:38:58What if I got you a place of your own?
00:39:01A kept woman.
00:39:03I must warn you, I cannot cook.
00:39:08Unless you count opening a can of SpaghettiOs.
00:39:12I want a year lease.
00:39:13I don't want you running away and leaving me holding the bag once you get me out of your system.
00:39:17No, it's not like that. I swear.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:23A year.
00:39:29I can't leave my wife, though.
00:39:31I'll promise that I can see you every day.
00:39:33I can't help you if I can't keep my life.
00:39:36I should refuse you, right?
00:39:39Demand commitment.
00:39:41But I've also learned how to keep my dignity.
00:39:45Even when I'm kneeling down for scraps.
00:39:48Under the table.
00:39:52My hope is that over time I can help you want more for yourself.
00:39:56You're talking about dreams.
00:40:00Aspirations.
00:40:01Those are only words.
00:40:03They only last in the suburbs.
00:40:05All I know is that I'm going to have a wolf over my head.
00:40:09A little spending cash for clothes.
00:40:11For the balls.
00:40:14And my chances of not getting killed in the gutter just increased considerably.
00:40:19I'm fine with that for now.
00:40:28What's your deal here?
00:40:30Usually the ones like you are either gay, won't admit it, or straight, but too afraid to ask their wife
00:40:37to stick a finger up their behind.
00:40:40I'm neither of those things.
00:40:44I'm not gay.
00:40:45I don't understand.
00:40:47You hadn't touched me.
00:40:49Got a blowjob in a car or nothing.
00:40:51But you want to possess me.
00:40:53Why?
00:40:55What are you?
00:40:59I'm no one.
00:41:01I want what I'm supposed to want.
00:41:02I wear what I'm supposed to wear.
00:41:04And I work what I'm supposed to work.
00:41:07I stand for nothing.
00:41:10I've never fought in a war, and I probably won't ever have to, because the next one's going to kill
00:41:13us all.
00:41:15I can buy things I can't afford, which means they're never really mine.
00:41:20I don't live, I don't believe, I accumulate.
00:41:26I'm a brand.
00:41:28A middle-class white guy.
00:41:31But you're who you are, even though the price you pay for it is being disinvited from the rest of
00:41:36the world.
00:41:39I'm the one playing dress-up.
00:41:41Is it wrong to want to be with one of the few people in the world who isn't?
00:41:46To have one person in my life who I know is real?
00:42:01You think of me as a real woman?
00:42:06You'd be crazy to choose this life if you didn't have to.
00:42:17I'd like to get back to work.
00:42:19You know where to find me once you've made all your arrangements.
00:42:25Hey, hey!
00:42:31Do you believe in love?
00:42:34Or is it just a word for the suburbs, too?
00:42:50How was your fancy trip to the ballet?
00:42:52It was magical.
00:42:55You know, one day I'm going to be on that stage and I expect you to come and see me.
00:43:00How much are you going to pay me to show up?
00:43:02You know what?
00:43:03Forget I even invited you.
00:43:04Nah, I'll show up for like 15 minutes before dinner.
00:43:07Uh-uh.
00:43:08You're too bad.
00:43:10Was it worth ditching your date, though?
00:43:14I think so.
00:43:15All right.
00:43:15So then...
00:43:34You shouldn't be selling drugs out in the open.
00:43:36It's dangerous.
00:43:37If Blanca finds out, she's going to...
00:43:39The only way she'll find out is if you flap your gums.
00:43:44Yo, I gotta run.
00:44:02Ricky?
00:44:04Hey, Damon.
00:44:07This is midnight.
00:44:12Nice to meet you.
00:44:15Can we speak in private?
00:44:19Can you give me a minute?
00:44:24Is that your girlfriend?
00:44:28I'm not the boyfriend type.
00:44:30So what type are you?
00:44:31The type that sits around waiting in a pizza shop for an hour and a half like an asshole.
00:44:36I'm the asshole.
00:44:38And I'm sorry.
00:44:39I didn't show up because I was at the ballet.
00:44:41My teacher gave me a ticket.
00:44:42School?
00:44:43I thought you wasn't boozy.
00:44:47I didn't move to New York looking for a relationship.
00:44:49I mean, I came here to make my dreams come true.
00:44:52I got kicked out of my home for being gay.
00:44:54And then I spent weeks on a park bench because I had nothing.
00:44:57I mean, Blanca gave me a warm meal and a place to stay, and being a part of a house
00:45:01needs to have to follow her rules.
00:45:02If I have to choose between education and dating, I choose a ballet.
00:45:06Whatever.
00:45:06It's all good.
00:45:09Seems like you moved on, so no big deal, right?
00:45:11Yeah, no biggie.
00:45:13You know, you ain't the only one who came here with a dream.
00:45:15I'm still sleeping on that park bench.
00:45:17You could join a house.
00:45:19You don't nobody want me to join a house.
00:45:20You can't sleep on the streets.
00:45:21That's what I do every night.
00:45:23Just yesterday, I stole a couple 40s and got smashed right over there.
00:45:28You know, you were smart for not showing up.
00:45:31Just to fuck up.
00:45:32That's not true.
00:45:32Yeah, it is.
00:45:36You know, when I first saw you, I thought,
00:45:39the shorty's going places.
00:45:42I guess I thought maybe you might take me with you.
00:45:47Not the first time I've been left behind.
00:46:07Nanny Petty?
00:46:08Just a top coat, please.
00:46:10I want her.
00:46:12Oh, she's on break.
00:46:14Do your errors not work, or is the customer not always ripe in this establishment?
00:46:18I said, I want her.
00:46:22Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie.
00:46:23I'm on break.
00:46:25I'm sure, even worn as you look, that you can find the fortitude to stick around and give a top
00:46:31coat to the woman who raised you.
00:46:33Oh, what is that?
00:46:34Core punch?
00:46:35I assume you have Revlon or Max Factor.
00:46:38Don't even think about putting Yardley on these fingers.
00:46:43You know, you can learn so much about a person by looking at their hands.
00:46:47All the wigs and clothes and plastic surgery.
00:46:50Don't matter when you're looking at a woman's hands.
00:46:53It always reveals her real age.
00:46:56You're one to talk.
00:46:57In your stained white coat.
00:46:59Looking like a peasant.
00:47:01Look at me.
00:47:03You're clearly not winning the game.
00:47:05Nor are you playing it fairly.
00:47:07Do you think you can just come to the balls and beat me with a lucky break and then disappear?
00:47:11Denying me my opportunity for redemption?
00:47:13Leaving me twisting in the wind?
00:47:16You are so anxious to have me come and crush you again.
00:47:18Oh, please.
00:47:19You win one trophy.
00:47:21And you talk like you're a legend.
00:47:23Any hoodlum or orangutan off the streets can snag one trophy.
00:47:27I've been busy with other business.
00:47:28Oh.
00:47:29I heard about that other business.
00:47:32You're a regular transvestite Norma Ray.
00:47:35Don't get me wrong.
00:47:37I admire your determination.
00:47:40I have known you since you were a wee Todd.
00:47:43And while you're not nearly as stunning and well kept as I am.
00:47:47And you could clearly use the delivery of Pond's cold cream for that ashy complexion.
00:47:52You have always been impossible to stop once you get an idea in your head.
00:47:57But take it from a woman of the world.
00:47:59You're punching at windmills.
00:48:01These gay white boys don't want anything to do with you and never will.
00:48:06I told the children of my house that I was fighting for them.
00:48:09I won't back down.
00:48:10You're not Rosa Parks sitting up front of the bus.
00:48:12You're a tired old queen looking to sip a margarita with some white boy in Sergio Valenti blue jeans.
00:48:18You know I know about your life even though you never speak about it.
00:48:21About your gentleman caller who showers you in rhinestones and keeps the house over your head.
00:48:26You're settled.
00:48:27Comfortable.
00:48:28The only fights you have left are with your wrinkles and your cellulite and walking the balls.
00:48:33And bitch that's because you're old.
00:48:35If I cut you open there would be nothing but dust and 50 rings to count.
00:48:39Now your generation got us to where we are.
00:48:41I'll give you that.
00:48:42I'll give you all of that.
00:48:44But I'm planning on moving our kind forward.
00:48:46Getting us access to worlds you wouldn't dare dream about.
00:48:50I'm entitled.
00:48:50I have the right.
00:48:51All right.
00:48:53You fight that fight.
00:48:55Naive little girl.
00:48:56Learn the lesson we all learn eventually.
00:48:59When it comes to the life we lead there comes a point where you must accept disappointment.
00:49:06Like I'm disappointed in this top coat.
00:49:13It's on the house.
00:49:20Matt?
00:49:23My boss is in the post again.
00:49:25He's a master of the publicity machine.
00:49:27It's so fucking awesome the way he controls them all.
00:49:28Do you read the post?
00:49:30Everyone does.
00:49:30I read the times too.
00:49:31The journal.
00:49:33If you want to sip Chardonnay in the Upper West Side with a bunch of intellectuals from Columbia,
00:49:36get the times.
00:49:36If you want to get invited to the best parties, walk past the line at Palladium, meet celebrities,
00:49:41get your name at the post.
00:49:42What do you want?
00:49:45Well, I know it's pretty early in my time here, but if you look at what I accomplished so far,
00:49:50I wrote that speech for the Ellis Island Award.
00:49:53What is this about?
00:49:54You want more money?
00:49:57Well, yes.
00:49:57I was hoping for maybe like a 10% bump or preferably a small bonus.
00:50:08Close the door.
00:50:16Have a seat.
00:50:36So what's she like?
00:50:37I don't want details.
00:50:38Is she blonde?
00:50:39Got big tits?
00:50:40Is she doing that new Brazilian thing down there?
00:50:44I'm sorry.
00:50:45I don't understand.
00:50:46Don't bullshit a bullsitter.
00:50:49I'm proud of you.
00:50:50I'm telling you.
00:50:51You put on the suit, you get behind that Cadillac, the pussy starts flowing like Niagara Falls.
00:50:55My wife just wants a dishwasher.
00:51:00I'll get you your money.
00:51:02In two conditions.
00:51:03You work weekends when I ask.
00:51:05You gotta tell me the fucking truth.
00:51:14She's beautiful.
00:51:15Yeah.
00:51:17Yeah.
00:51:18Puerto Rican, I think.
00:51:22Exotic.
00:51:23It's not my thing, but to each his own.
00:51:26Do you love her?
00:51:28I don't know yet.
00:51:29You don't.
00:51:30You're just not tired of fucking her yet.
00:51:44You're just not tired of fucking her yet.
00:51:44Matt, thank you.
00:51:45I promise I will earn every penny.
00:51:47Word of advice.
00:51:49Don't leave your wife.
00:51:51And if you get her pregnant, you come talk to me immediately.
00:52:03Oh, man.
00:52:08Oh, man.
00:52:09Oh, man.
00:52:10Oh, man.
00:52:10Jesus Christ.
00:52:11Not this bitch again.
00:52:12Don't you have anything better to do?
00:52:13I told you.
00:52:14I'll be here every night until you serve me.
00:52:16I'm not dealing with your shit tonight.
00:52:18Call in the cops.
00:52:19Call them.
00:52:20I'll be right here.
00:52:20I'm not afraid to follow up.
00:52:31Have you noticed that you're the only one here with the yearbound's hands?
00:52:34What's your point?
00:52:35They don't want us here.
00:52:37No.
00:52:37They don't want you here.
00:52:41Compliments in the house.
00:52:44I still want my Manhattan.
00:52:47Should I have a word with you?
00:52:49Miss?
00:52:49It's a dude.
00:52:50I am a woman, and I will be addressed like a lady.
00:52:54Sir, can I have a quick word with you?
00:52:56What, is the battery in your hearing ain't dead?
00:52:58I said I'm a woman, and I go by ma'am or miss.
00:53:01This is what I'm talking about, officer.
00:53:02He's constantly spouting off.
00:53:04You know what?
00:53:04Why don't you make, like, your hairline and disappear?
00:53:06You know, you need to calm down.
00:53:07Deaf and blind.
00:53:08You know what?
00:53:08I can't arrest you for being here, but I can arrest you for your mouth.
00:53:11What?
00:53:11That's right.
00:53:12You're under arrest for disturbing the peace.
00:53:13Turn around.
00:53:14Thank God.
00:53:24What the fuck are you looking at, bitch?
00:53:26I think it likes you.
00:53:28Man, fuck you.
00:53:29What's up?
00:53:30You pissed at her dick?
00:53:31It's bigger than yours?
00:53:34Rodriguez, you made bail.
00:53:36Wait, somebody bail me out?
00:53:40Who?
00:53:40That is Cajon Poir, darling.
00:53:44I've never smelled a perfume like that before.
00:53:46Well, of course you haven't.
00:53:48It costs $100 an ounce.
00:53:50I don't believe that the ladies of the evening that come through here,
00:53:53or the girls in the bars you frequent in Newark,
00:53:55can afford such a luxurious aroma.
00:54:02Electra.
00:54:03Ah, there she is.
00:54:06This one is a relation of my housekeeper.
00:54:08The poor woman was inconsolable about her arrest,
00:54:11so I volunteered to be of assistance,
00:54:13and she's an expert with my delegates.
00:54:15How could I say now?
00:54:16Well, a true pleasure, officer.
00:54:19I do love a man in uniform.
00:54:21Perhaps I'll call on you one evening if I'm in the neighborhood
00:54:23and in need of some company.
00:54:25Anytime, sweetheart.
00:54:35You're lucky that I have a gentleman friend who understands my needs
00:54:37in terms of walking around money.
00:54:39Though don't expect the same kindness in the future.
00:54:41You just cost me half my weekly allowance,
00:54:42and it's only fucking Tuesday.
00:54:44Yeah, but why?
00:54:44Why did you help me out?
00:54:46What do you think?
00:54:47There's my car.
00:54:48Because you understand what I'm trying to do by getting into this bar.
00:54:52Have you lost your mind?
00:54:54Did you not see me back there with that policeman?
00:54:56I can gain access to any bar or country club or department store in this city.
00:55:00Your struggle is not my struggle.
00:55:03My struggle is that I was defeated at the balls last week,
00:55:05and because you're so distracted with this silliness,
00:55:07I have remained in a temporary humiliation.
00:55:10You are not being beaten within an inch of your life in that jail,
00:55:13because I need you to be at the ball tomorrow night
00:55:15so I can reclaim my honor.
00:55:17And you will be there, bitch.
00:55:19So that's all that matters to you?
00:55:23That is our place.
00:55:25Our community.
00:55:26The balls were created so we would have somewhere to matter.
00:55:29If you have any aspirations to become a legendary mother,
00:55:32you'll get it in your skull
00:55:33that while there are many places for us to find love and adoration
00:55:36in the outside world, in this life,
00:55:38yes, the balls are all that matters.
00:55:42Is your driver going uptown?
00:55:44Yes.
00:55:45Subway's two blocks away.
00:56:01Bill collectors at my door
00:56:17Hey, I heard you was here.
00:56:18Can we talk?
00:56:22Can we talk?
00:56:24I heard you the first time.
00:56:29What do you want?
00:56:30I want to start over.
00:56:32You clearly didn't appreciate my presence.
00:56:34My absence shouldn't be any different.
00:56:36That's not true.
00:56:37Look, I like you.
00:56:39And I'd like to invite you out.
00:56:41But it's not a date.
00:56:42Just two friends hanging out.
00:56:44Tuesday night?
00:56:46Busy.
00:56:47Fine.
00:56:48Wednesday night.
00:56:49I have tickets to the ballet.
00:56:51The ballet?
00:56:52The ballet?
00:56:53Hell nah.
00:56:58I thought the same thing.
00:57:01But I went and it opened me up.
00:57:07The freedom I saw on that stage.
00:57:10I mean, those dancers weren't dancing with the music.
00:57:12They were the music.
00:57:16Not interested.
00:57:21I thought you wanted a different kind of life.
00:57:26I mean, maybe this is the beginning of something new.
00:57:32Look, I'll be in front of the Roosevelt Hall Wednesday at 6.30.
00:57:38Ties kind of fancy, so no jeans or shell tops.
00:57:41In case you decide to show up.
00:57:43Even if you're all in front of me.
00:57:45And there's nothing about nothing.
00:57:47Leave something.
00:57:49You got to have something.
00:57:51If you want to be with me.
00:57:53Come on, life is too serious.
00:57:55Love's too mysterious.
00:57:58My girl like me.
00:57:59Needs security.
00:58:05The category is...
00:58:07Femme Queen in Pop.
00:58:10So much for budget.
00:58:13Now, this is not a face category.
00:58:15This is to show that you can cross the threshold.
00:58:18Into the Four Seasons.
00:58:20Or to the bar at the St. Regis.
00:58:22Or tip up and down Fifth Avenue.
00:58:25And never stumble, walk, or show fear.
00:58:30Miss Kiki Pendarmer.
00:58:32Your heels are too low.
00:58:34And your hips have no flow.
00:58:36Please remove yourself from the premises.
00:58:38And do not return.
00:58:39Until you're in some goddamn stilt.
00:58:41Because as we all know, six inches is the minimum.
00:58:46Strange, I've seen the face before.
00:58:53See, you're hanging by my door.
00:59:00Like a horn.
00:59:03You're hanging by my door.
00:59:04I need the floor cleared of all contestants.
00:59:08I have just gotten word that it is time for a rematch between the legendary House of Abundance
00:59:13and the upstart house of Evangelista.
00:59:20Now, if my memory serves me correct, each has one win.
00:59:26Who will be the best out of three?
00:59:28Ah, here she comes.
00:59:32Freshly strong from her night in the cliffs.
00:59:36Yes, you do belong, darling.
00:59:38Walking like you were born in a stiletto.
00:59:43What have we here?
00:59:50Is it Aphrodite?
00:59:52Is it the goddess Athena?
00:59:54Oh, then you can be wrong.
00:59:58Yes, brothers.
00:59:59I know it's me.
01:00:01Strange, standing there alone.
01:00:06Staring eyes, still be to the Lord.
01:00:08Who are we to stand in this woman's presence?
01:00:12How could we possibly deserve to bear witness to all that the goddess Elektra is bringing forth on this evening?
01:00:21There's no way this bitch is getting her heels stuck in a brick.
01:00:27Judges, please, it's time to score.
01:00:29For Miss Blanca, Ted, Ted, nah, nah.
01:00:34Respectable score.
01:00:35And now, for the legend Elektra, Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted, protection.
01:00:42Grand prize Elektra, first runner-up, Miss Blanca.
01:00:46Hey, there are social crime.
01:00:49So, let me know what we do.
01:00:52That's something like that.
01:00:53Some men.
01:00:55Okay, okay.
01:00:57Okay.
01:01:14You know what it is?
01:01:15No.
01:01:16No?
01:01:16No.
01:01:17Can you see?
01:01:17No.
01:01:19Where are we going?
01:01:21Ah!
01:01:24I'm at three, okay?
01:01:25Okay.
01:01:26Three.
01:01:28Three.
01:01:29Oh, baby.
01:01:32You're welcome, baby.
01:01:34You're welcome, baby.
01:01:42Okay, let's go.
01:01:44Wow.
01:01:44Oh, come on.
01:02:41Oh, come on.
01:03:08Oh, come on.
