you know how important these events are for my father

each year

he's the head of the company

fine let's go

come back sweetheart

congrats Queen thank you

my goodness you look radiant

Ricky

Jay

you're working this event

okay I guess I'll go alone then

I know a place where we can go

where are you taking me hold on a minute

wow this is beautiful

it's a good place to get some fresh air

my father makes these big speeches every year

talks about how amazing my brother's doing

as the head of the company

really I'm the one that practically runs the place

but he'll never see that

he's never thanked me or

even said good job Jay

why is that

we never really had any special bond

not like him and Henry your brother

yeah

I'm sorry I

I don't know why I'm telling you all this

haha it's

okay

people say I'm a good listener

we probably should head back

they realize we're missing

oh they won't miss me

you gotta keep your shoulders back

and your chin straight up

take a deep breath

hopefully that helped a little

yeah actually

it did

thank you for coming with me

been a gentleman

good evening everyone

and thank you for coming

to the 25th Annual Mcclain and Company Gala

this 25th gallon marks a very important turning point

from applying the company

we expanded our office to a brand new location

hired more than 20 new employees

and have taken on over 15 new clients

since our last gala

there you are

I've been looking everywhere for you

sorry honey

I need some fresh air are we missing the speech

tonight

we all gather to celebrate 25 years of hard work

dedication and integrity

you know

I started this company back in 1935 with my old man

Henry Mcline the second god rest his soul

now here we are 25 years later and my eldest son

Henry is running the whole goddamn thing

how the hell we get so old Jacqueline

ah speak for yourself

well I'm proud of you Henry

proud of all the hard work you put in

keeping this company

rising to the top throughout the years

and this has been a special year

special year for me cause my

my youngest Jake

was married this year to his beautiful bride Beverly

and they got a child on the way

for becoming a great man sir

well it takes a lot to keep these gallows going

as well as they do every year

and

I'd like to give a special round of applause to Harold

for putting this all together how about it

McLain and cow

hi

is Jay McLain in yes

he is is there something I can help you with

I um

I'm an old friend just wanted to say hello

okay then what's your name

my name

uh Mr Mr

pyrexington

okay one moment

there's a Mr Pyrexington on the phone line one

thank you Marcia

Jay Mclein

hi

Jay who is this

it's Ricky

oh Ricky

Mr Pyrexington

I'm sorry I didn't know what to say

I probably shouldn't be bothering you at work no

no I'm

I'm glad you called is everything okay yes

I just wanted to see if maybe you had a lunch break

yes I

I do

we're pretty far out

what time is your lunch break over

oh I actually just took off the rest of the day

I need to take a break

I've been staring at numbers for too long

have things been better at work lately

I noticed

your dad said some nice things about you in his speech

oh yeah

we had a good conversation

and I think he might be moving me up in the company

actually that's great to hear

but please enough about work

what about you who is Ricky

that's that's a long story

it's not very interesting

I want to hear it

okay

so during the war

my parents left Puerto Rico and came to New York City

I was only 2

can you speak Spanish

yes

growing up my parents made sure I knew both

I remember my dad used to play the Spanish record

over and over again

and we used to sing it all the time in the living room

when it came to music

that's how we bonded

because most of the time

I don't think he really ever understood me

he bought a trumpet for me one time

he opened up the case and he said

you're going to learn to play this

I hated it

but I actually enjoy it

there's nothing like getting

lost in the sounds of an instrument

and watching the faces of everyone around you

enjoying it

I wish the world could see you

so what about you what do you like to do

when you're not running things at the office

I uh

I I like to run

you like to run

yeah I held the high school track record all four years

I don't believe you building I can run

I just think I can probably beat you in a race

there's no way

here's my number

I know a place in the city if you want to meet up again

if you're interested

I don't know what to do Mama

yes I tried

petty page

Elvis

Ben nothing works

he won't stay asleep for more than 10 minutes

what do I do

okay I'll try it

it's okay

it's okay honey

come on come on go to sleep

turn over

okay mom

mom I think I got it

David how could this happen

how I mean

the point is it did happen

we're

we're faced with something and we've

we've got to handle it the best way we can

she says she has proof there's no doubt in Ellen's mind

she's convinced that Danny is her son

oh I just can't believe it

I can't

I just can't it's just some crazy coincidence

that's all Danny is our son

honey

hello

yes hi

I'm sorry I think I might have the wrong number

who is this

Ricky who's this

well that would be wonderful

I'd enjoy that yep

give my regards to the missus

Alrighty then

Mr Mcclain your son Jay is here to see you send him in

thank you Nancy

you're welcome Mr McLean

let me know if you need anything else

isn't she something

God's gift to the universe or God's gift to me

of course your mother hasn't met her yet

that'll be your conversation

have a seat son

we've got some good news to celebrate

what about well

I was thinking about our conversation last week

and I was also thinking how perhaps you're right

back to tomorrow you'll be moving into Henry's office

we'll be sending your brother up to operational affairs

you're already doing the job

and you deserve the title and appropriate pay

thank you dad

I won't disappoint

I feel it's a necessity now that you have a family

hell you know what

I'll even sweeten the deal

how about having Nancy as your own personal secretary

I don't need to hear it from your mom

thank you is there anything else

actually son

there is

seems that Beverly called Victoria last night

Henry said at first

that maybe she was just calling to check in

and see how things were

then she started talking about how

maybe I'd been working you boys too hard

and to see if Henry

had been coming home as late as you have

I uh

I don't

no need to explain son

I just thought you'd like to know

but I do recommend keeping anything you have going on

after work hours a little more discreet

understood

Susie Salon

hi Charlene

yes 12:00

we do have that hi

we do have that availability

okay you're confirmed

bye bye

did you see that the Starkman's house is up for sale

I did and didn't they just move in less than a year ago

rumor is that Edward lost his job

but every time I ask Joan about it

she says that

Edward's not fond of the neighborhood anymore

not fond of the neighborhood

I'm telling you I never liked that guy

my husband always calls him a fairy

so what do we think

oh well

it's definitely gonna take some time to get used to

I love it next time we go fully blonde

well let's see what Jay thinks

how is Jay

he's fine he works so much I barely see him

lucky you since Frank retired

all I deal with constantly

is putting the toilet seat down and honey

can I get another BA

even though I'm sitting right next to him

enjoy it while he's young and handsome

soon

you'll have several screaming children running around

and an overweight man sleeping next to you snoring

I'm good with just the one for right now

if Jay was my husband I'd have 7

speak up girls I don't want to miss any gossip oh

did you hear about Sandra and Harold

no

ha

Sandra

was bringing a surprise dinner to Harold's office

and boy did she get a surprise

when she walked in

Harold had his secretary bent over the side of his desk

while he was well

you know oh my

that's awful who was bent over

Harold's secretary oh yeah

what is she

Sandra was telling me that he was coming home late

and sometimes not at all

well what is she gonna do

who knows oh

poor girl

Uncle Sam decided it would be better if red

Pennsylvania is 100

stay close to the UN till the time they arrive

if in the word is that the resident cannot travel

off Manhattan Island where the UN goes is looking

Peter Tully police officer for our State Department

Children of the United States

Morning Jay

see you at the BCR meeting later of course

good morning Mr McLain

good morning Nancy

the BCR meeting got moved from 11:00am to two PM

in conference Room 200B oh

I'm not going to that anyway

and here are today's updates

oh and Mr Reed called again

he's insisting on taking you and Beverly out to dinner

tonight or tomorrow this week won't be good

can we put it off for a bit

of course just let me know if you need anything else

thank you I will

since I took the oath on the plain at West Point

and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished

but I still remember the refrain

of one of the most popular barrack ballads of that day

and like the old soldier of Macbeth

if it were in my power

to forgive you for your reckless cruelty

I would do so

I like to think I'm a gentleman

but your forgiveness

will have to come from someone other than me

I think

this gets more and more sketchy every time we do it

haha

so let's go in

you sure we're good here tonight

Jay how many times have we been here

you're still gonna ask that question

don't be such a candy ass come on

usual you know it

alright boys

so how was work today

same as every day

actually today was really quite slow

oh do tell

so the company just introduced this new little

but heavy machine that goes in your desk

you just type in the numbers you want to work with

and it does the math for you

how is that even possible

it's electronic calculating

look I'll draw it for you

oh

so all those things are buttons or it's all electronic

using things called vacuum and cold cathode

counting tubes

that sounds all too complicated

I'll stick to using my fingers

I think it's fascinating really

you know one day

I think

these things could do just about everything for us

sounds like a frightening world

I didn't realize you were such a square

you know boys

you know if I could

I would learn everything

there is to know about these things

I bet something on my own

you should

who says you can't

it's not really exactly my day to day job description

that shouldn't limit you

cheers

okay someone's trying to get blitzed

it's Friday night baby why not

oh I love this song

I just wanna tell you right now that

a that a James boy huh I believe

Franky crank it up

I must be love let me take it Ricky

I'm not come on Ricky

I'm not I'm not

I'm not

Ricky I'm not

I'm

do you wanna get out of here

wait is this you listen to Stevie Harding who

would have thought you like jazz

yeah this is always been my go to record

makes me feel better

whenever this crazy world gets me down

you don't keep those refrigerated

oh it broke a while ago

well then get it fixed

why when this works just fine

just

just hold on

we should spend the night

I wish I could

wouldn't mind laying like this all night

your commute to work would be a lot shorter

maybe I should get there on time

I can cook too

you know don't say

you'll cook me up some eggs and send me off to work

haha

are you happy doing what you're doing

yes

what you don't think so

I just think you're wasting precious time

and you don't even know it

wasting time I'm vice president

of one of the largest accounting firms in Manhattan

I wouldn't exactly call that wasting time

take all that away

your cars

your nice suits all the money

your job and your perfect family

what do you have

what's inside

who is Jay Mcclain

what are you trying to get me to do here

what you want me to go into work tomorrow

and tell dad that I'm quitting

and moving to some far away place

so we can live our lives forever

oh Gee

that sounds like a fantasy of yours

I can get on board with that

you live in your own fantasy

and I can see right through you

what does that mean

it means

you're someone who wants more

and what you think that you can do more for me

I can't do anything

it's all within you

I cannot take you seriously

one day you'll get it

you can't just do and be whatever you want

whenever you want Ricky

that's that's not how this works

you can't just wake up one day and decide that

you're going to live a life

where everyone thinks there's something wrong with you

why would I do something like that

that's your problem oh okay

no that's your problem right there

you care about what everyone else thinks

no one's opinions matter

this is your life no one else's

and when you're on your deathbed

what's gonna be more fulfilling

the fact that you had all these fancy things

and all this money

you lived your happiest and best life to

to its fullest capacity to its fullest authenticity

that's not a choice we get to make

there's nothing you or I can do about it

it is what it is

look

we're here aren't we

let's just enjoy the time that we do get together

I gotta get going

I had a really nice night

meet again tomorrow at the underground

yeah

I'll see you there

some money to fix the fridge

oh Gee

I'll buy a new pair of shoes with these too

the Martins called they want to have

dinner on Friday

at that quaint little spot I was telling you about

on Terry Hill yeah

I think this week might be a late night

every night kind of week

I think I need to call my father in law

because you've been working way too hard

can maybe not tonight

okay

okay

if you were to take away all our fancy things

the house the cars

all your expensive dresses and coats

who would you be

what do you mean

I mean who is Beverly

what have you always wanted

this being a mom I think I'm really good at it

I don't really have any go ahead being a mom

well

I mean

you know that I always wanted to be an actress

but um

it's not realistic

and I don't know where you're going with this

I just want to know who Beverly is

without all this stuff we have

without me

um

no one

I guess I just be no one

Jay

wait

I love you

I love you too

have a good day

haha

so Ricky I uh

I've been thinking

and I wanna help you find a new place

what I'm fine where I'm at

it's dangerous there I can find you somewhere better

thank you but I can only afford 60 a month

you try finding a better place

with a rent to a guy like me

and I'll leave I'll pay for it you don't have to worry

come dance with me

not this again

may I have this dance

it'll be embarrassing if I do this all alone come on

police don't move go yeah

you weren't expecting the same Thursday

we paid up until then the plan is changed

get your hands off me

get your hands off me

Jay

I'll find you

you're free to go where

must be pretty tough pretending not to be a fairy

I know about you and that man

Ricky

I gathered his name was

I've known

for a while now

and I tried

I tried to pretend like it didn't exist

just kept my head buried in the sand

but it's real now

and I can only imagine what people are going to say

Beverly

Beverly nobody needs to know about this

it's not what it looks like

it was a mistake

a mistake

I'm calling papa in the morning

I think we should get a divorce

no Beverly

Beverly

Beverly get your hands off of me

I need to be alone Beverly

I need you to listen to me

you have this whole situation wrong

I love you I only

I only wanna be with you I

I don't believe you what is it you think you know then

huh what do you think you know about me

you have to give me a chance to explain

I saw you with him

I followed you Jay

that spot in the alleyway

I followed you

don't try to deny it

I know what those places are

I saw you talking to him at the beach club

and he was there again at your father's event

never you need help Jay

I will do

anything

for you

there are several ways to go about this

homosexual erotic response

simultaneously apply mildly uncomfortable stimuli

luckily you're different from most of my patients

your condition isn't outwardly obvious

after our analysis session

we concluded that

you can't really notice by your mannerisms

and the way you talk and walk

I'm not necessarily saying it will be easier to cure

but it is likely

of all my patients in the past 10 years

we've had a 50% success rate

I truly believe you will be able to leave here

fully cured from your disease

if you're fully committed

there are several ways to go about this

first we'll meet once a week for aversion therapy

he done it 100 times before

what Jimmy didn't know was that Ralph was sick

a sickness that was not visible like smallpox

but no less dangerous and contagious

a sickness of the mind

you see Ralph was a homosexual

a person who demands an intimate relationship

with members of their own sex

one never knows when the homosexual is about

he may appear normal

if that treatment doesn't seem to work

our last resort is the electroshock therapy

Jay

are you understanding everything I'm telling you

I'm willing to do whatever

I need to for my wife and my family

don't believe a thing they say

yeah

I don't like this

no I don't like this

it's okay no

I think that we need to stop

maybe if I just go in there

Jay the nurse is going to give you a towel

to put in your mouth

and we want you to bite down on it hard open

there you go why

very good and close

very good

alright I'm going to prepare the machine now

no no

no I think

I think we need to go in there

cause I think they're hurting him alright

we're gonna get ready in a minute now Jay

thank you very much

I love you I love you

he'll be disoriented for a little bit

like he's staring off into space

no need to worry that's normal

just talk to him as you always do he'll understand you

when he comes back to full consciousness

he should be cured

I'm so sorry

the moment you get better

I'm gonna take you out of here

I promise

Mr McLean

forgot to give me your mail this morning

sir can I have your ticket please

can I have your ticket please

sir

sir can I have your ticket please

oh yeah

thank you

thank you

this one is my personal favorite on the block

there's so much land and

look at the size of this kitchen

my goodness it is quite large

all it needs are a few updates here and there

but this one is definitely a charmer

you'll need good window treatments

because the light just pours

in through these picture windows

I think this could be perfect

price seems a little high

14,000 is the going rate for homes around here

we might be able to work on that a little bit

however there are all new modern appliances

and this neighborhood is filled with children

which will be perfect for your son

what do you think

I think it's great

I'll give you two a moment

I'll be in the car if you need me

I think this could be perfect for us Jay

a fresh new start

yeah I think so too

okay we'll definitely need a new kitchen table

cause the old ones won't match

I think we should knock this wall down

and connect the dining room to the kitchen

there would be so much more space

I'm in love with these floors

imagine little Johnny running around

the summer in the backyard will be so wonderful

maybe we can add a door to get into the backyard easier

we can get

dad

son you okay

we don't have to talk about this anymore

if you don't want to no

no no no

um

it's been quite some time and

uh I think you ought to know

yeah well uh

I can't believe

you spent all this time

pretending that none of this existed

and mom knew the whole time

yeah but we never spoke about it again

after I got home from the hospital

well has there ever been anyone else

like after mom

no

maybe we should talk about moving you out of here

downsizing a bit like

maybe one of those townhouse communities

where there's tons of things to do

people to meet no no

no I'm not having this conversation

this is my home

I've been here for 47 years

I'm not going anywhere you're all alone here dad

I want you to be happy

who says I'm not happy

I see my grandkids all the time

I've got you running the company full time

I've got a great roof over my head

I'm doing great

uh

it's been 24 years

she even said she'd want you to be happy

did you um

ever try to reach out to him

no

did he ever try to find you call you

there was one time when he uh

tried to reach me at work on the phone

okay did you take the call

no

I didn't know what to say

and it just didn't feel right

well do you still have the number

I I wrote it down someplace

but Jack you gotta find it and call him

you need to have peace with this

you've been holding back your entire life

it's too late now

maybe it is

but what if it isn't

that you deserve to be happy

no matter who it's with

hello uh hi

who is this why don't you tell me

you called me first yeah

I'm sorry um

my name is Jay uh

I'm looking for someone named Ricky Mendez

is there a Ricky Mendez there

Ricky left here about a year ago

last I heard he was in a nursing home

I forwarded him some mail

that came here a few months back

but that was the last time I had any contact with him

okay um alright um

by chance

would you have any information about that nursing home

today was one of my weakest days

we both know I've lasted longer than they said I would

I've tried my best for a while

but I don't know how much longer I'll make it

I'm reluctant to tell you

that I've been keeping something from you

out of selfishness

there's a letter I never had the heart to let you have

I don't know why I even saved it for all these years

I guess I always knew it was wrong

I apologize for that

I need to make sure you know

I've lived a great life with you Jay

you've been my best friend

for as long as I can remember

I know your heart better than anyone

I never fully understood

but

life has a funny way of making you understand things

you never once did

follow your heart

be fearless

this life isn't promised to anyone

Ricky everybody should have the right to get married

and every religion should have the right to decide

what's appropriate within their religion

we have a visitor here to see you today

who hello Ricky

we haven't seen each other in quite some time

I'm Jay

Jay Mcclain

Jay

Jay Mcclain

nice to meet you Mr Mcclain

first and foremost that our family is equal to you

don't remember me at all kids have a very

very clear what did you say your name was

Jay

Jay Mcline

ah

right

one moment Ricky

we'll be right back

yeah I mean

I think we're really celebrating three things uh

on Sunday one is our relationship

and probably most important is

I should have warned you I thought you knew

I'm afraid Ricky is suffering from dementia

luckily it hasn't gotten to the worst

it can be

you know

some days he remembers all his friends that come by

and some days he doesn't

uh it's unpredictable really

I'm sure if you come by another day

something will click

would it be okay

if I went back in for a few more minutes

that's fine go right ahead thank you

in fact the mayor will actually

officiate at the Sunday morning wedding

of two top members of his staff

who personalized this issue for him

Commissioner of Consumer Affairs

Jonathan Mints and Chief Policy Advisor

John Fine Black good morning

welcome to all of you thank you

thank you and Mayor Bloomberg

you'll be officiating

you've only done this a couple times before

your daughter and Mayor Julie

would you believe it

same sex couples will soon be able to head to the altar

in New York State

the state legalized gay marriage late last night

the vote was followed by celebrations

I never thought I'd see the day

I know

I didn't either

I'm sorry I forgot your name what was it again

it's Jay

Jay Mcline

we used to be close friends many years ago

well

now that you have my attention

Mr Mcclain what was it that you came here to tell me

I just missed an old friend that's all

you married

I was

what what about you

were you ever married me

no

but I was no prud you know

how is it that you know me again

um well um

hi sorry to interrupt

just letting you know

that visiting hours are almost over

can I get 5 5 minutes please just 5 minutes

thank you

um

do you

do you remember writing this

dear J

I drafted about a dozen letters before writing this one

I couldn't put into words what I was trying to say

I now understand

people come into your life for a given purpose

whether bad or good

they teach you something

curiously losing you taught me strength

I wish we could have gotten to say our goodbyes

in person

I wish you

only the best

you were the greatest

the greatest love I think I'll ever know

maybe one day we'll meet again but

until then you gotta keep your shoulders back

and your chin straight up

take a deep breath

don't forget to breathe

you know I did come back for you

I did come back

I I know I I know you did

do you like to dance Ricky

I think it's time we get that dance

what do you think

we've wasted so much time

we're here now aren't we

let's enjoy the time we have when I give my heart
