(Adrian check out the hotel and rushes over to Shawn’s office)

[Scene change to airplane]

**
I was just about to give up; seriously because everything that I was delivering to Shawn, it was never enough. I do not know what made him change his mind and call me but now I know my finances are green again; I will no longer need to worry for now. Miguel, CJ, Love and Vanessa: am I the one for all of this? At times I want to be there and at times I want to be away. I know I am not giving everyone time with me because I’m in need of something. What is it? Could it be comfort because I am alone. I don’t know why I pushed Miguel away; he has only been there and good to me the entire time; but something about him I can’t trust and I can’t lay my fingers on it yet. My son could be born any moment now and I know when he is; it’s going to change everything in my life. I am ready for it; I have to do something nice for Vanessa to show her more attention because technically I haven’t really been there and still haven’t read the babies book. Sigh, I really want to see CJ; I wonder what he is up too; but as far as love is looking, I am going to take a break from looking. Right now it’s time to celebrate; you can’t do all work and no play.

Miguel Fiske: yeah some what

(The class claps)

Frank Utter: but I find it quite interesting to know that I am a homosexual because there are people who would consider characterizing me as. During my time, I realize that it’s not wrong to have self affects to one self because love is freely given. If one feels attractions and tensions for those type then it’s something they, themselves cannot fix

Frank Utter: I don’t know which Saturday you are talking about cause every Saturday is a gay night
