Nope. It's a lookalike.

If you don't see a
nipple, don't touch it.
[CHUCKLES] Okay, now I'm getting hard.
Gross.
Isn't it a bit morbid
picking shrooms off people's graves?
Bitch, aren't you about
to be in med school?
You better get used to
playing with corpses?
[GASPS] Oh, never mind.
See, that's different.
Those people donated
their bodies to science.
Okay, and these ones graciously chose
to fertilize the Earth
so that you and I could
come face-to-face with Buddha
- or gay Jesus or whatever.
- Come on.
Okay, um, so do we,
like, cook them, or
Nope, we're just gonna chomp them down.
They are way more potent raw.
Oh, speaking of, did you
know that a baboon's colon
is five times bigger than a man's
because he only eats raw food?
That is not what I
thought you were gonna say.
I know you could probably fit
a basketball player's whole
foot in there if you wanted to.
You know, I think I was more turned on
when we were talking about corpses.

"Sweet Keaven in Heaven,
"Nine sweet angels in the sky.
"Too early for you to die.
I hope you're having fun
in your kingdom of the sun."
"Sweet Daddius, I'm the saddiest.
"Nine sweet angels in the
sky, too early for you to die.
I hope you're having fun
in your kingdom of the sun."
I got to get some air.
"Oh, Sheridan, I'll be
wondering where you been."
I can't wait for these
fucking vigils to be over.
Are you crazy?
It's like our gay reparations.
We getting paid handsome
just to hug on some
strangers while they cry.
If I have to hear one more person
talk about how they
could have been there
and then take a selfie
just to get their money,
I don't know.
I just feel like we're
pimping out our trauma.
Don't worry there'll be
another shooting soon enough,
and they'll forget about little old us.
But if seeing my pretty face
here opens their wallets,
so be it.
You know what? You're right.
- Let's get this money, baby.
- Hey, that's my girl.
So what you spending your check on?
Ugh. I don't know.
I'm currently staying
with my ex for free.
We're in this weird space where we're
Damn, I did not ask for your life story.
You got to cut out with that drama.

it's 6:30.
Yeah, but my forearm
muscles basically atrophied,
so this is kind of like
my physical therapy.
So jerk yourself off, then.
Come on. Play with me.
Oh, shit.
I feel like I've been hit by a bus
and dragged for three blocks.
Really? But you didn't drink last night.
Did you?
Why is Daddius under the bed?
Because it's creepy and
morbid to have him just out.
I'm glad we're scattering his ashes,
but I actually think
Daddius would have loved
to spend eternity watching
us breed each other.
You know he would.
You know, it's been shockingly nice
having you and your brother stay here
but what's your plan, like, long-term?
[SIGHS SOFTLY]
Can we not with the parental role-play?
Look, I'm about to get a major payout
from the Survivors' Fund,
and then I will find a place,
pack my shit, and get out of your hair.
Hey, I didn't say I
wanted you out of my hair.
I just asked what your plan was.
Well
my plan was to jerk you off,
but now I guess I'm gonna have
to go get these trauma dollars.

11 weeks ago, I was
getting my damn life, sis.
I was out on the Babylon dance floor
being a happy little faggot.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I can say it. [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
I can say it.
And then the shooting happened.
Do you think he realizes
he looks like a Proud Boy?
I think he was a Proud Boy
until he realized he could
get more attention this way.
Please, put your paws up
for Lani Simpson's parents,
Clara and Reed
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Sheridan Segal's sister, Charity
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
What is this?
The victims' families.
[JCJ CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY,

And the parents of Daddius Miller,
Phil and Kim.

What the actual fuck
are they doing here?
Be strong.
Slay, mamas [CHUCKLES] And papas.
While all of us survivors struggle
every G-damn day since the shooting,
these families are still
really, really bummed,
and they will be pretty much forever.
Oh, sorry. Bringing the room down.
We're here to provide a light

A cameo from Mr. and Mrs. Miller.
Wait, Daddius' parents were there?
Mm-hmm.
JCJ gave them a free car for their loss.
Oh, fuck that.
Sorry, what's the problem?
Free car equals good, right?
The problem is that
Daddius' shit-stained parents
disowned him when he came out.
Oh, no, wait, sorry, they first sent him
to an ultra-religious conversion camp,
and then they disowned him.
Wait, how'd you know Daddius
went to conversion therapy?
I don't know he probably told us
when we were all hanging out.
Hmm, no place to hang out anymore.
God, these fucking vigils
are killing queer nightlife.
I don't know. Make me want to drink.
Yeah, but in that depressing-ass,
Heath Ledger smelling the
shirt kind of way. Pass.
Every gay bar is either closed or empty.
When did the faggots get so soft?
Preach, baby.
I mean, hell, these bars
survived the damn AIDS crisis.
And we'll survive this, too.
Fuck the bars. Let's do this ourselves.
We'll throw a party better than Babylon.
Okay, Brodie Luther King.
Like, this is how we
should be honoring Daddius
and all the other victims,
not some shitty vigils
that cater to sad heteros.
It's a nice idea, Brodie,
but with what money?
- 40K from the Survivors' Fund.
- 40 grand?
Damn, if I would have known
they were giving out that much,
- I would have signed up.
- I got 52 Gs
'cause they thought this
chair was from the shooting.
[CHUCKLES] JCJ is such a dumb bitch.
[LAUGHS] I know.
I got a 20K bonus for getting shot.
Ruthie just said trans $10,000.
It feels like the trauma Olympics.
Well, if you got all that
money, I say go for it.
I love this for you.
Great
because I know the perfect place
to host the party.
Where?
Oh. [LAUGHS] No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Brodie, absolutely not.
Come on.
You were telling me I
needed a plan this morning.
Noah, this is the plan.
Look, I love this energy, but
times have changed, Brodie.
[SIGHS] Come on.
Daddius would've killed
for one last party.
I guess you know what's
best for everyone, don't you?
What? He would have.
Noah.
So you'll think about it, babe?
- He's gonna think about it.

I found your Survivors'
Fund letter in your trash.
Why didn't you want to sign up?
Why did you go through my trash?
Look
I can't tell you how to process
what happened.
But that money it sure would
have been helpful around here.
- [SCOFFS]
- Or for your college
for your drag.
Fuck all that.
I'm done with drag.
Donated all my shit.
Hey, you you donated?
Forget it. I know what we need to do.

I am married to your father,

beautiful babies from me

Julian against his mother?

I am being vulnerable with you,
and you are laughing at me.

Julian against you.
