Act I Scene 1, a bedroom in a condo in Huntington Beach, California



MATT SANDERS (M SHADOWS) and ANDREW MONTAGUE (ANDRONICUS PRIME) on stage, supine and in post-coital embrace

MATT
Tell me again just how much you love me.

ANDREW
If I could tell you, it wouldn't mean anything, would it?

MATT
Aw, come on, humor me.

ANDREW
If I could put it in words, we'd need a whole new goddam universe.

Enter JOHNNY CHRIST

JOHNNY
Someone from DC has a message for you.

Andrew's not happy about Johnny Christ's cockblocking him. He grunts.

ANDREW
God damn it. Who is it and what do they want?

MATT
Don't be like that, Andrew, this could be serious business. Your old lady might be angry, or that dipshit Oliver wants to make you-

ANDREW
The hell with them. My business is right here.

He caresses Matt, trailing his fingers suggestively across the latter's chest.

Tell me what you want me to do.

MATT
Answer your phone.

ANDREW
You are such a cocktease!

MATT
I'm kidding!

He rolls over Andrew onto his back, both of them utterly oblivious to JOHNNY, who backs away slowly.

Exit JOHNNY.

Fade to black.
