It's an old theater tradition of mine.
I always give my actors a little bunny bear.
- Really? - Yes.
Just to thank you and, uh, show a token of my appreciation for your hard work.
Really? Matthew, I want to tell you how proud I am of you.
We had our disagreements in the past, but you brought my words to life in ways that I never imagined.
Oh, Harold.
That is sweet of you to say.
And listen, I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity to play Cory.
It means a lot to me.
Well, you deserve it, sweetie.
Break a leg! Heh heh heh.
Oh! Leave enough time to fluff your stuff, 'cuz nobody wants to see a tiny dick.

Why didn't you go off with Raffi? I wanted to be with my friends, SJ.
Is there something wrong with that? No, that's bullshit.
Why? Why are you yelling at me in the middle of a fucking theater? Why can't you just let him in? I love you, Kai.

That's why I see it.
I see exactly what you're doing because I do the same fucking thing.
Yeah, and I'm fucking there for you every fucking time - And I'm trying.
- You come knocking on my door drunk.
That's what friends do, you know.
Is they actually talk to each other and let each other in.
Fuck you.

Fuck you! Hey.
What happened? [Audience members.]
- Shh.
- Shh.
You scared the bejesus out of me! I didn't mean to.
What are you doin' here in the barn anyway? My daddy catches you in here and he'll about burn this thing to the ground just to get rid of you.
You don't know nothing.
I didn't steal no darn horses.
I know you didn't and I told him that.
I said, "that James Garrison, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
" "Much less a stable full of horses.
" - You said that? - I certainly did.
You don't know me.
Oh I know you.
I know you from back when.
Before they sent you away.
You probably don't remember me, but back when you were varsity quarterback, I was just a kid.
Was way before I hit my growin' spurt.
A bunch of the guys were giving me a hard time.
You made 'em lay off me.
I reckon you saved my life that day, James Garrison.
And I will never forget it.
I don't remember saving any lives, but I do remember you.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
That smile.
Prison just made you even hotter.
I didn't even think that was possible.
I mean, hot Damn.
- I didn't steal those horses.
- I know you didn't.
Even if you had, I'd keep your secret.
- You would? - I certainly would.
- I'd take it to the grave.
- For real? Woah! - Like that prison dick? - Oh yeah.
Oh.
- I love you, James Garrison.
- What? No man says they love me.
You know what that word means? I think I do.
Want me to show you what they did in prison? Yes.
Oh, uh! Ahh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Never this easy in prison! Ha ha ha! Woo! Ah! Ah! Ah! Woo! Ah! Ah! Ah! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Marky.
Is this shit funny to all you guys? - Seriously? - Look, man.
We were only laughing because we were uncomfortable.
- It had nothing to do with - Really? You were uncomfortable! I brought his parents! It was supposed to be a children's play.
What he said was you assumed it was a children's play - And then he never corrected you.
- Uh, it's still lying! Okay.
Okay.
Why would he do this to me? I don't I-I feel like I don't even know Ok, look.
What you saw in there was in no way a reflection of how Matthew feels about you.
He loves you.
Alright? He's only doing this play to prove to himself he can make it as an actor.
- It has nothing to do with you.
- Ha! An actor! Do you realize, I just got cussed out by his father? Alright.
What were they even doing here? His mom came by his apartment while he was at rehearsal.
I took her out to lunch.
Thought it'd be a good idea.
She said she wanted to be more involved in his life.
She supports his lifestyle.
So I was like, great! There's something comin' up! You can come with me.
So I've been setting it up for weeks, texts, emails, calls.
And then this.
If it makes you feel any better, he's been torturing himself this whole time about whether or not to tell you, so Okay.
And all the while, all of you guys knew it the whole time.
So I'm the one who comes out lookin' like an asshole, right? Marky, it's He's just acting, Marky.
It doesn't mean anything.
Yeah.
Well.
Anything he says, anything all of you guys say, doesn't mean anything.
