:22:01
Ask anyone from El Camino.
They'll say we were.
:22:03
We went to one prom
back when l thought l was--
:22:06
Thought he liked girls then.
:22:09
And l was always wondering
why l was making the first move.
:22:12
l thought it was me.
:22:14
l told my mother Gabriel's gay.
:22:15
And she was, like,
''Oh, really? You never said.''
:22:17
l was, like, ''Didn't l mention
he's a musical theater writer?
:22:20
''Hello! Do l have
to spell it out for you?''
:22:23
That was a million years ago.
:22:25
You know what Gabe
used to call me?
:22:27
Puss. You're so kooky.
:22:29
l had this James Bond thing,
you know, uh...
:22:32
Octopussy, Pussy Galore.
:22:34
Hmm. l didn't like it
when other people said it...
:22:37
but it was OKwhen Gabe
called me Puss or Puss-Puss...
:22:40
or Pussy.
:22:41
Actually,
l didn't really like Pussy.
:22:43
Do you have any nicknames?
:22:45
Beer Can.
:22:49
Did you used to drink a lot
in college?
:22:52
Gabe's writing a part for me
in his musical--the maid.
:22:55
lt's actually a very big part.
lt's really good.
:22:57
l sing all his songs.
He's a wonderful writer.
:22:59
You're so very talented.
:23:00
l don't know how l feel about
writing musicals right now.
:23:04
l just know you're gonna be
the next Andrew Lloyd Webber...
:23:07
or Stephen Sondheim
or something.
:23:08
l spent the last eight years
of my life writing...
:23:11
in a genre that's been dying
a slow death since ''Gypsy.''
:23:14
He's a golden boy.
He really is.
:23:15
You love musicals.
:23:17
l used to.
:23:18
Musicals are way too contrived
and phony and campy and stupid.
:23:23
l don't even know
why l write them.
:23:25
You write songs?
:23:28
The music, too?
:23:32
And you...play the piano?
:23:34
Let's do a number!
:23:37
Just one. He'll love it.
His songs are so great.
:23:40
Katherine, l don't think that
Mark's interested in my songs.
:23:43
Do one.
:23:47
Really?
:23:48
Yeah.
l'd like to hear one.
:23:50
See?
:23:53
All right. One number,
and then you're leaving.
:23:56
-Cross your heart?
-Cross my heart.
:23:58
God, l have to get
to my show anyway.
