Okay, Karl.
The reason that l...

:52:03
brought you here is...
:52:06
to talk about something
that's on my mind.

:52:08
I'm just going to put it
right out on the table.

:52:13
Where do I start?
:52:17
Linda and Frank are
very important to me.

:52:20
They're like family.
:52:23
My own family was never like a family.
:52:26
They're horrible people.
As a matter of fact...

:52:30
for years I prayed every night
that my father would die...

:52:35
and finally realized,
through a lot of therapy...

:52:37
I was wasting my energy
on hating him.

:52:42
So now I just don't care.
:52:45
But you see, you and I
are a lot alike...

:52:49
as strange as that may seem.
:52:51
I don't mean physically
or even mentally, really...

:52:56
but emotionally.
:52:58
Actually, the hand
we've been dealt in life--

:53:04
We're different. People see us
as being different, anyway.

:53:08
You're--
You've got...

:53:12
your affliction or whatever and l--
:53:15
Well, mine's not as easy to see.
:53:19
I'm just going to say it.
:53:21
I'm gay.
:53:24
Does that surprise you?
:53:27
That I'm gay?
:53:31
- You know what "gay" is, don't you?
- I don't reckon.

:53:38
Homosexual.
:53:40
I like men. Sexually.
:53:46
Not "funny," ha-ha.
"Funny," queer.

:53:50
That's an offensive way
to put it.

:53:53
You shouldn't say that.
:53:55
You were taught that,
weren't you?

:53:58
I've heard it said that away,
yes, sir.
