Ed and Hank
The things Ed does for love…
A very, very, short story:
“Dammit, Hank… Ya know that ain’t my cup a tea…” “Don’t worry, Ed… If’n it ends up makin’ ya real uncomfortable we won’t ever do it again.” “Yeah… I’ve heard that before…” “C’mon, Ed… I really wanna do it.” “Yer jus’ gonna be at me ‘til I agree to it… Aren’t ya…?” “Yep.” “Okay. Fine. But I ain’t gonna enjoy it.” “Thanks, Ed… I appreciate it. ‘N ya jus’ migh’ surprise yerself ‘n have a real good time…” “I’m just hopin’ there’s plenty a folks there so’s I can get lost in the crowd…” “I’m hopin’ fer a big crowd too… Ya know they’re havin’ these rallies fer gay rights all across the country tomorrow… in a whole buncha cities ‘n in ev’ry single state… I sure hope it ends up bein’ a real big deal.” “Shit. Does tha’ mean reporters with cameras will be there…?” “Tha’s kinda the whole point a protestin'.” “Great. We’ll prob’bly end up on the six o’clock news…” “Don’t worry, Ed… Nobody out there knows us from Adam… Now… whaddya think our signs should say…?” “Signs…? No way am I carryin’ a sign…” “Well I am. 'N it's gonna be a real big one...” “Ya know… Yer lucky I love yer dumb ass enough ta do this with ya.” “I sure am.”
