Russel is a homosexual, and he carefully hides himself in the crowd, lest others find out that he is gay. One weekend night, after a party with friends, he went to a Gay Bar for a one-night stand. He met Glen. After one night, Glen asked Russel to tape his thoughts on sex. Glen is an artist working in a museum. They met a few more times after that to discuss their past, their lives, their views on homosexuality, and Russel also learned about Glen's radical views on homosexuality. Glen is going to the US to study, and at the farewell party, the two of them sneak out and enjoy the last time just the two of them. The next day, Glen was about to leave and Russel had to go to a friend's daughter's birthday party.

Weekend quotes

  • Glen: It's like when you've had the same friends for too long, they become like - Everything becomes cemented.

    Russell: What? And that's a bad thing, is it?

    Glen: Of course, it's a bad thing. I don't want to be in fucking concrete, thank you very much.

    Glen: It's like they won't let you, they won't let you be any version of yourself except an old version, or the version that they want you to be.

  • Glen: Look. Straight people like us as long as we conform, we behave by their little rules. Imagine your friends if you suddenly started getting all, but really, political about being a fag, or you got suddenly, like, camp and swishy or talked about rimming all the time.

    Russell: [interrupting] But that's not what I'm like, is it? That's not who I am.

    Glen: Well, just trust me: They like it as long as we don't shove it down their throats.

    Russell: Okay, well, why should I just shove it down their throats?

    Glen: Because they shove it down our throats all the time: Being straight. Straight story lines on television, everywhere - in books, on billboards, magazines, everywhere. But, ah, the gays, the gays -

    [gasps]

    Glen: "We mustn't upset the straights. Shh. Watch out. Straights are coming.

    [lisping]

    Glen: Let's not upset them. Let's hide in our little ghettoes. Let's not hold hands. Let's not kiss in the street, no."
