116 Recap
1. Brian Kinney gives a shit! (06:33-08:07)
Just another day in glorious gay Pittsburgh and here we have Brian driving Justin to school.
Awww. Cute enough already, but the following banter and Brian's slip make this scene even more adorable.
Justin: "You drink too much coffee."
Brian: "This isn't coffee, it's Latte."
Justin: "It's just coffee that costs five bucks. And it still causes high blood pressure, heart attack, poor sexual performance..."
Brian: "I haven't had any complaints."
Justin: "...not to mention insomnia."
Brian: "Well, usually when I'm in my bed, I'm not asleep anyway, so it really doesn't matter."
Justin: "See, fortunately, I have youth on my side. I can stay up all night fucking, and still score 1500 on my SATs."
Brian: "1500?"
Justin: "Yup."
Brian: "Wow, you could get into any school you wanted with a score like that."
Justin: "I applied to Dartmouth, Brown..."
Brian: "You're going out of state?"
Oops...
Justin: "Why, do you give a shit?"
Brian: "It's just the first I've heard of it, that's all."
Justin: "You do. You give a shit! You give a shit! You so care about me! You love me so much!"
Brian: "Get out!"
Justin: "Brian Kinney gives a shit!"
Brian: "Fuck you."
Justin meets Daphne in front of the school.
Daphne: "Well, you look self-satisfied. One could even go as far as to say, supercilious."
Justin: "We all know you got 700 verbal. Stop showing off."
Daphne: "So. What did he say to you?"
Justin: "Hm. It's what he didn't say."
Nice coat there, Justin. I wonder if you got it from Brian.
2. This queer says... (08:07-10:09)
At school, class hasn't begun yet. Chris Hobbs (remember, the guy Justin once gave a handjob) is bullying some other student, calling him a faggot and asking him to suck his cock. Haha. Dude, Chris and his friends are like so cool, only not. Anyway, Justin and Daphne arrive and Justin tells him to leave the other kid alone.
Chris: "Oh, must be a faggot convention!"
Justin: "Don't take it out on him."
Chris: "Take what out?"
Justin: "Your dick."
Ha!
They start shoving each other when the teacher arrives and tells them to stop.
Teacher (aka Mr Dickson [sic]): "Taylor, next time you cause trouble you can talk to the principal."
Justin: "What?"
Daphne: "Sir, Justin didn't do anything. It was Chris. He called him a faggot."
Mr Dickson: "Take your seats. Both of you."
They do. Mr Dickson checks the attendance, the students answering with 'here'. Inside jokes: two of the students are called Bueller and Fry, as in Ferris Bueller's Day off, plus the student Lipman, as in QaF producer Dan Lipman, is late. Hahaha. Uhm, I watch too much telly, I guess:P. And then:
Mr Dickson: "Taylor."
Chris: "Queer!"
Everybody laughs, well, except for Daphne and Justin. The teacher just proceeds. What is this, homophobic central? Aw, the joys of private tutoring:P
Justin: "Excuse me, Mr Dickson."
Mr Dickson: "What is it, Taylor?"
Justin: "Chris just called me queer."
Mr Dickson: "I didn't hear anything."
Justin: "How could you not hear when everybody heard that."
Mr Dickson: "Sit down, Taylor."
Justin: "I want him to apologize."
Mr Dickson: "I said sit down."
Justin: "Aren't you gonna do anything or you just gonna pretend that nothing happened?"
Mr Dickson: "One more word from you and I'm sending you to the principal's office."
Justin: "Oh, don't bother."
Daphne tries to hold him back, but Justin starts walking out of the classroom.
Justin: "Queer is going, queer is out the door, the queer is gone."
Mr Dickson: "That's enough of that!"
Justin: "Oh! What do you know. He says it you don't hear a thing but when I say it... well, listen up, now that your hearing has returned. This queer says: FUCK YOU."
The class cheers, whistles and applauds and so do I. Wow, Justin, just wow.
3. Financial problems, sort of (10:09-11:45)
Brian and Michael at a bank. While Michael tells the bank guy about his problems, Brian starts hitting on him.
Brian: "When you're finished helping my friend, could you check the balance in my account?"
Bank guy: "Sure. You wanna put down the number?"
He hands Brian a paper, Brian writes something and gives it back to him.
Bank guy: "This is your phone number."
Michael: "Would you please let him help me with my financial problem before you hit on him?"
Oh, right, Michael. See, the thing is that David pays everything and Michael isn't really comfortable about that. Now he noticed he's got some extra money in his account. Bank guy now tells him that the checks Michael gave David for the rent have never been cashed. Uh oh. Trouble in paradise?
When they leave, Bank guy tells Brian he will check this [his number] out. Brian is happy: Excellent. There are still certain services you can't get at an ATM.
4. Bonjour at the gym (13:55-15:33)
The locker room at the gym. Yum. Lots and lots of naked male flesh. Too many cocks to cap, I'll give you Emmett for now:
Ahem.
Michael whines a bit about David and the money thing, when suddenly, there's an uproar: a woman, aka Mel, is in the locker room! OMG! Panic! Emmett manages to calm the masses own: It's okay, it's okay everyone, she's a lesbian. Ah, good. So, Mel. She misses Lindsay and went to see her the other night. But instead of her beloved, she met Guillaume, a French guy who now lives there and told her that, no, she couldn't see Gus because it's his feeding time and yes, he knows all about her because he and Lindsay are very intime...intimate. WTF? So Mel has all reason to be confused and searches the boys' advice.
Brian calls Lindsay, only to hear the following message: Bonjour! You reached Lindsay and Guillaume and beautiful baby Gus. If have a message for us, kindly leave it after the beep.
Hmmmm.....
5. Gay kids are everywhere (15:33-18:17)
Justin's room, formerly knows as Michael's room in the Novotny Home for Runaway Boys (JrfkaMritNHfRB). Debbie arrives with a snack for Justin, who's lying on the bed, sketching. I can only guess what, just take a peak at the sketches on the wall:
The boy's too talented for his own goods;)
We get to know that Justin got suspended and is angry about that. No shit. He feels like punching Mr Dickson and Chris, but Debbie tells him there are better ways of handling it. She lectures him that people are mean because they're ignorant and scared, and there's nothing you can do except educate them or shoot them. Word of advice, Deb. She then asks Justin about a Gay Club at the school, he tells her there is none, why am I not surprised? Justin says he's probably the only gay student at his school, but Debbie doubts it: Gay kids are everywhere. Only they're not all like you. 'Cause they're afraid to show their faces. That's why maybe... you've got to do something to help them know that they're not the only ones. And you can almost see the wheels turning in Sunshine's head.
6. Enchanté (20:12-23:31)
Melanie, Brian, Emmett and Ted go visit Lindsay, Gus... and Guillaume. Lindsay isn't very amused. She introduces everyone, also Brian, Gus's biological father, and to stress her words, Brian walks right up to the French and takes the baby out of his arms. Possessive!Brian, oh, I love. Right on, Kinney.
Guillaume: "Ah qui. Bien sure, my friend, there's no need to worry about Gus now that I'm here."
Brian: "Hm. I wasn't worried when you weren't, mon ami."
Anyway, Ted and Emmett join the French for dinner (rabbit stew) while Mel and Brian circle Lindsay to ask her just WTF is going on. So she tells them: Guillaume teaches French at the university and they have been friends for a couple of years. Lindsay needed some financial help, so they made an agreement and Guillaume moved in. The French is also a good cook and wonderful to Gus, oh my.
Mel: "Sounds like the perfect arrangment."
Brian: "So how long is he staying?"
Lindsay: "That all depends..."
Mel: "Until he finds a place of his own?"
Lindsay: "Until... we get married."
Brian: "What?"
Exactly. But hey, relax, it's just an arrangment. Lindsay gets some help, Guillaume gets to stay in the country and get his Green Card. Guillaume choses this moment to announce the food's about to get cold, Lindsay leaves and Mel and Brian share a not amused-look.
7. Ahead of the class (23:31-25:39)
After the rabbit, we meet the visitors again at Woody's. Mel's annoyed with the French guy's behaviour, as are Ted and Emmett.
Mel: "I need a cigarette, bad. This is all my fault. If it weren't for me, none of this would be happening."
Brian: "Aw, Melanie the martyr. You want me to set you on fire?"
*LOL*
Mel whines a bit more, about Lindsay and how they'll never get back together again because she fucked up. Yeah, well. Life's hard sometimes. Brian says there's nothing wrong with getting one's needs met: just stop blaming yourself, it's boring. And you don't deserve it. Bonding moment between Mel and Brian, OMG WTF. And then, suddenly, Justin arrives.
Justin: "Hey."
Brian: "Hey. Isn't it a school night? Shouldn't you be at Deb's studying?"
Justin: "I got suspended."
Melanie: "You?"
Justin: "For two days. I saw a student getting bashed and my homophobic teacher wouldn't do anything about it. So I told him to fuck off."
Brian: "Go ahead of the class."
Ted: "That brings back memories. Getting the shit kicked out of you on the playground..."
Emmett: "Mmm, having lit matches thrown at you in the locker room... Good times."
Ted: "I don't suppose anything like that ever happened to you?"
Brian: "Well, once this straight football jock picked me up and dunked my head in the toilet."
Justin: "What did you do?"
Brian: "I followed him to his locker. It was open, his hand was up, kind of like this. He was laughing. So I slammed the door so hard, it broke three of his fingers. And that was the end of the season for him."
8. I need your expertise (25:39-27:34)
The loft. Brian and Justin in bed, very busy.
Mmmhhh, good. Very good. And wow, they're not only making out, they're also talking.
Brian: "A gay-straight what?"
Justin: "Student alliance."
Brian: "What the fuck is that?"
Justin: "It's a club, a forum where students discuss issues, plan events, you know. To promote understanding."
Brian: "I'm asleep already."
Justin: "I need your expertise."
Brian: "I think I’ve given you plenty."
Justin: "Your business expertise. It's a tough sell, especially at St. James. So say I brought this concept to you at your office. How would you market it?"
Brian: "It's 1:30 in the morning and I’m horny as hell."
Justin: "Please."
Brian: "Okay, you're the client. Have a seat Mr. Taylor."
Justin sits up and Brian chuckles. Justin kicks him softly.
Justin: "What's so funny?"
Brian: "This is just how I imagine all my clients. I picture them naked."
Brian gets up and walks a bit around. Not much, but some small Gale!balls for you:
Brian: "I can't believe I’m doing this. Okay, so you have this concept, the 'Gay-Straight Student Alliance’. Let's all live together; Power to the people; Peace; that's boring as shit."
Justin: "I could take out an Uzi and shoot everyone, that would be exciting."
Brian: "Well at least you'd get their attention. Now we have to figure out a way to sell it."
Justin: "Right. How?"
Brian: "Same way you sell everything else. Sex."
Justin: "Sex?"
Brian: "You wanna get them in the tent? Hand out these."
Justin: "Condoms?"
Brian: "You said it was an alliance. What better way for everyone to come together?"
He grabs a few condoms and pours them over Justins head.
And they resume making out;)
9. Condoms for everyone! (29:25-30:33)
Back at St. James Academy. Daphne and Justin hand out flyers for the Gay-Straight Student Alliance but nobdy's interested. Until Justin hands out condoms, yay!
Daphne: "Brian knows what he's talking about."
Justin: "Yeah, he's brilliant."
Daphne: "And hot."
No shit.
But uh oh, Chris Hobbs arrives.
Chris: "Hey, Taylor, are you starting a faggot club?"
Justin: "It's for gay students and straight students."
Daphne: "To promote tolerance and understanding."
Chris: "So now butt-fucking is an extra-curricular activity?"
Justin: "No. Just handjobs."
Woot! Justin's really got the best lines this episodes. Chris, however, doesn't think it's funny at all and grabs Justin. Flashback to the handback from Episode 104. Then:
Chris: "You'll never mention that again, you little cocksucker."
10. A walk in the park (30:33-32:11)
Lindsay, Brian and Gus in the park. The topic of conversation is Lindsay's marriage plan, she once again stresses that she only wants to help her good old buddy Guillaume, who's gay and thus can't marry and that's not fair.
Brian: "Listen, Mel and I've been thinking..."
Lindsay: "Wait a minute. Did I just hear you say 'Mel and I'? Did you actually say that? For years, I have struggled to get Mel and you to be civil to each other, and even be in the same room together. Now, all of a sudden, Mel and you are allies?"
Brian looks away.
Lindsay: "Well, I don't have time to worry about what my selfish, self-centered, narcissistic friends think. I have to think about my son, and how I'm going to raise and support him. I have to think about what's best for him. So I think you all should just fuck off! I'm sure that's a thought you can understand."
11. The meeting (32:11-35:18)
The first meeting of the Gay-Straight Student Alliance isn't a big success.
Daphne: "I thought a lot more people would come, didn't you? I mean, considering all the condoms we handed out."
Justin: "Yeah... I guess they couldn't wait to use them."
Just then Debbie arrives, with cookies and moral support. The meeting begins and Daphne starts by saying that there'll be discussions in the upcoming weeks etc, until one student interrupts: Isn't this supposed to be about sex? Well, also, but not only. The students are bored and start to leave the class, when Justin suddenly screams Faggot! Cocksucker! Homo! Fudgepacker!, which makes me realize where those weird Tourette's syndrom-badfics come from... oops, sorry. Anyway, Justin's now got the student's attention and he makes good use of it.
Justin: "Those are just some of the names that I've been called, because I'm gay. I've also been told that I'm going to hell, and that I should die of AIDS. Maybe the same things happened to you. That is why we are here. To see if we can learn to accept our differences and recognize our similarities. Because gay or straight, we all want the same things."
Just then, everybody's favourite teacher Mr Dickson appears and tell Justin that's enough. Justin says they're just having a meeting, but Mr Dickheadson says clearly Justin doesn't have any kind of permission to use this room, so... Debbie tries to argue with him, but no use: Mr Dickson calls the meeting to be over. The students leave and Chris and his friends are watching the scene from outside the classroom, having a laugh. Justin and Daphne are not amused.
12. And action! (41:57-43:28)
At Dr David's house: Michael is fliming Brian, Ted, Emmett and Justin with a camcoder. He's planning to take the camera to... Paris! Yeah, right. He and David somehow sorted their little argument out and now David invited Michael to a trip to France's capital. Hey! They could take Guillaume with them, no? Whatever. Justin takes over the camera.
Michael shows his new Hugo Boss jacket and his new suitcase set and I wonder what this whole fight between him and David was about? Well, WHATEVER! Brian's bored, too, so he and the boys head off to Woody's, leaving Michael aka Dr David's little toy boy alone with his shiny new stuff.
13. Confrontation on Liberty Avenue (43:28-45:49, end scene)
As the boys are about to enter Woody's, Justin suddenly sees Chris Hobbs and his friends walking down Liberty Avenue.
Justin: "Shit!"
Brian: "What?"
Justin: "It's Chris Hobbs."
Brian: "Who's that?"
Justin: "Asshole from school, I told you about him."
Brian: "Uh huh. You told me he was so hot."
Justin: "He has no right to be here."
Brian: "Forget him, let's go."
But Justin can't. He walks down to confront Chris, Brian and the others eventually follow him.
Chris: "Hey Taylor."
Justin: "What are you doing here?"
Chris: "Checking out the freaks. Like you."
Justin: "Down here, you're the freak."
Chris: "Out of the way, faggot."
Chris punches Justin, baaaaaad idea. 'Cause there's Brian and if there's one thing Brian doesn't like, it's when others mess with his things. And isn't Justin his most valuable possession? So, possessive!Brian #2. He steps in front of Justin, Justin tries to hold him back, Brian struggles free and stares Chris down.
Chris shuts up. Justin uses the opportunity to adress the small crowd that's gathered around them.
Justin: "Hey! Hey! You guys see him? We go to school together, his name is Chris Hobbs. He just called me a faggot."
The crowd boos.
Justin: "You see, Chris doesn't like faggots."
Chris: "Shut up, Taylor."
Justin: "Or maybe he likes them more than he thinks."
Chris: "I said shut up."
Justin: "He let me jerk him off. The faggot gave Chris Hobbes a handjob. And he loved it."
The crowd cheers.
Chris: "You are fucked."
Brian steps up to Justin again, giving Chris another deadly glare.
Chris gets the message and leaves. The crowd is still cherring and applauding Ted and Emmett congratulate Justin, but Justin anxiously waits for Brian's reaction: Congratulations. You just made yourself a real enemy. He does, however, give Justin a little kinda 'I'm proude of you'-smile.
Finally, they all enter Woody's.
End of episode 116.
