[Gay. Eddie just. He just came out and said it. Eddie thinks he's gay. He has thought about it and thinks--knows-- he's gay. And he is here with Richie, telling him.

Richie is pretty sure he's either died or is on the verge of it.]

Coming from a gay dude, I haven't been really happy either. Just in case you thought that came with the rainbow flag and free brunch welcome package.

[He walks closer though and gives Eddie's shoulder a squeeze. It's so firm. So warm and alive. It's a miracle that he could do this now and Richie is wasting it by being a coward. But how can he just spit it out here when Eddie is spilling his heart?]

But hey. That's... That is great, man. Thanks for telling me. And I'm real fucking proud of you for figuring that all out.

Is that why you're here? LA-- gay capital, USA? Need a fellow LGBTQ to hang around with?
