Excerpt from the TV Show Friends - #1
Yeah, so I said, “OK, relax please,” y’know, I mean, sex can be just
about two people right there in the moment, y’know, it’s, if he wants to see
me again he can call and if not, that’s fine too. So after a looooot of
talking… I convinced him.
Let me get this straight. He got you to beg to sleep with him, he got
you to say he never has to call you again, and he got you thinking this was
a great idea.
Um-hum.

Oh God, I don’t know how to tell you this. I’m

Huh.
Yeah, I know, I.
I, I don’t, I don’t understand, how can you be
straight? I mean, you’re, you’re so smart and funny
and you throw such great Academy Award parties.
I know, that’s what I kept telling myself but you
just reach a point where you can’t live a lie
any more.
So how long have you known?
Well I guess on some level I always knew I was
straight. I thought I was supposed to be something
else, you know, I’m an ice dancer, all my friends
are gay, I was just tryin’ to fit in.
And um, and there’s actually a, a woman?
Her name’s Debra.
Oh. Well is she, is she the first that you’ve been
with?
Well, I’ve never told you this but, there were one
or two times, back in college, when I’d get really
drunk, go to a straight bar and wake up with a
woman next to me. But I, I, I told myself it was
the liquor and e-everyone experiments in college.
Sure.
But now I know I don’t have a choice about this, I
was born this way.
I, I don’t know what to say. I mean, you know,
you’re married to someone for six years and you
think you know him and then one day says, “Oh, I’m
not gay.”

before Pink Floyd comes out.
Yeah, and-and it’s not that we don’t like the comedian, it’s
that-that… that’s not why we bought the ticket.
The problem is, though, after the concert’s over, no matter how
great the show was, you girls are always looking for the comedian again,
y’know? I mean, we’re in the car, we’re fighting traffic… basically just
trying to stay awake.
Yeah, well, word of advice: Bring back the comedian. Otherwise next
