Re-Runs

"AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!"

"Justin! What the fuck was that?"

"Sorry, Bri."

"Sorry, Bri!? Don't sorry Bri, me. I nearly dropped our beer."

"Oh, heaven forbid we should waste a beer. I'm having a moment here."

"A moment. What kind of moment? He nervously asks his asshole partner."

"A very serious moment, he replies to his equally asshole partner. And STOP narrating yourself!"

"Yes, your lordship. Here, take a sip and tell me why you nearly aged me ten years with your scream."

"You know, Brian, some times your concern for my well being under-whelms me."

"Hey, when I get grey hair, it will be all your fault. And then where will you be?"

"Still here watching you queen out because of your grey hair."

"Thanks a whole helluva lot. Now stop changing the subject and tell me why you screamed."

"They're re-running that show."

"Who's re-running what show?"

"The cable channel is re-running that gay show. You know the one with the stupid ending."

"Ooohh! That show. And this is why I nearly had a heart attack because they're re-running a stupid show! Justin, have you lost your mind. It's just a fucking cable show. In the scheme of things, it means nothing."

"Nothing? Nothing? It means something, Brian. It was the first show that at least tried to show what we're all about."

"Oh, I see. So we're all about fucking and sucking and drugs and tricking and..."

"I get it, no need to elaborate."

"I don't think you do get it. We are about drugs, and tricking and fucking but we're about a lot more. We have friends and family and it's not all black and white. We have different relationships with different people. Some of us don't handle relationships well..."

"Like someone in this room."

"And some of us do relationships very well."

"Like someone in this room."

"You are very annoying sometimes, you know."

"I know."

"So why the scream? Are you angry that you missed the episode or that it's back on?"

"A little of both, I guess. Some of it was sooo out of the realm of reality."

"How so?"

"Well, we can analyze it. Now take that Mimi person. Do you know any transsexual waitress like that? I mean she was waay over the top."

"Maybe, but go on."

"And that Ned character, he's so boring and then he becomes an alcoholic. How dumb is that?"

"Yeah, okay, who else?"

"And that Nicky guy. Pul-eez! I have never met anyone as whiny and picky and sniveling as that."

"I can think of someone."

"Oh, who?"

"I reserve my opinions for later. Is there anyone you DO like?"

"I kinda like that Ryan guy. He's sooo sexy."

"He's not bad. Anyone else?"

"Well, maybe that Ken guy but he's so fucking normal. I feel sorry for him. I don't think he was appreciated much. Is there anyone on the show that you like?"

"I like the Bennett character."

"You what? But he's so, so out there. I've never seen anyone with flames like that. How can you like that?"

"It's because he's out there. He's comfortable with himself, that's why."

"Oh. How about the blond kid?"

"Which blond kid?"

"The one who's trying to get Ryan to fall in love with him."

"Oh him, never paid too much attention to him. He's too young for Ryan."

"Brian, you're such a shit."

"I'm a shit?! Why am I a shit? I'm not the one who's angsting over a TV show."

"I'm not angsting; I just find it amusing."

"So amusing that they could hear you screaming in Philadelphia. Good one, Sunshine. Want another beer?"

"Yeah. Brian?"

"Hmm?"

"You really think that the blond kid is too young for the sexy guy?"

"I think that, that blond on the show is too young for the sexy guy."

"Oh. Well, what about this blond? Am I too young for you, Sexy Guy?"

"Probably. But why don't we re-run some of our old bedroom scenes and analyze it?"

"Huh. I think I may like re-runs."

"Thought you might."

"So you think you can make me scream?"

"I know I can."

"Bring it on, Sexy Guy."

"Then get your blond ass in bed, before I get grey hair."

"That will be the scream heard around the world, Brian."

"You still are annoying, you know."

"I know!"
