Will at
Cooking Class

A perfectly constructed little comedy of misunderstanding: Will mistakes genuine interest for a professional arrangement, detonates the possibility, and then learns that the actual hooker was somebody else entirely.

ANN: That concludes Soups and Stews for Gay Men and the occasional straight couple. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm going to hand out some of these evaluation forms. I'm supposed to leave the room while you fill them out, but I find I get better results if I stay.

ADAM: So Will, I hope this isn't out of line, but how do you fell about coming back to my place later?

WILL: Oh Adam, I really hope this in't out of the line—are you a filthy whore?

ADAM: What are you talking about?

WILL: Let me tell you something. Will Truman doesn't have to pay for it. Will Truman just goes months and months at a time without it, and then pours all his sexual energy into his embroidery.

JACK: Will, what are you doing?

WILL: I don't know where you found this guy. Couldn't you at least have gotten somebody halfway respectable instead of this piece of rough trade from Skankville?

ADAM: I'm from Montclair, New Jersey.

WILL: Get to a clinic, ho!

ADAM: I don't need this. I may be tall, but I still have feelings.

JACK: What was that?

WILL: Jack…60, 80, 100, I saw you pay him.

JACK: Yeah, for this cute, little anklet I got Stuart! Adam makes them to raise money for diabetes awareness.

WILL: But...but…Stuart said he was thinking about buying me hooker.

JACK: Will, I think about that all the time.

WILL: So, what--I just let a gorgeous, sweet man who makes his own jewelry and was totally into me walk out that door?

STUART: Actually, st first you called him a filthy, stinking ho, told him to get to a clinic, and then he kind of ran away.

Will rushes out to chase after Adam, then rushes back in.

WILL: I promise I'll be back to sponge off my station.

JACK: Oh, Will…to think that he would go to that place.

LARRY: Yeah, what happened to him that he would think that the only way that a guy would be interested in him is if he were being paid.

LARRY: Sad.

JOE: Super sad.

ANN: That's why I got him the hooker! Well, he was bringing the whole class down, you know.

DEBBIE: I think he danced at my bachelorette party.

LARRY: Ours too!

JACK: You two, you got any cash? Stuart? Let's see if we can get them to do stuff!

DON: Maybe my brother is gay.

DEBBIE: Well, what did you think, Don? The man wears Chinese Slippers.
