of my fag lesbians.
Speaker 6: Can he say that it's okay?
Speaker 4: We go way back, yes, Judith.
Speaker 5: We go so far back when you didn't say queer
and she was called a baby die.
Speaker 7: All those were the days.
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to keep up and be respectful. My
cousin Daniel's gay, and I want to honor him always.
Speaker 5: That's very noble of you.
Speaker 7: Judith Caiden Yeager, you know why we're here, Yeah, to
get a pride even happening here in Faarbe Heights.
Speaker 5: I'm glad we set up a little office here in Englewood.
It's really cute here.
Speaker 7: We're getting there and it seems load safer than when
we used to clutch our invisible pearls as we drove
through here.
Speaker 4: That was a long, long time ago.
Speaker 5: We haven't heard from you, Judith. Do you like Fairview Heights?
Speaker 6: Oh, it's fine here, but I live in Arbor Village.
Speaker 7: The street with all the tree names like oak, magnolia
and pine.
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean it's still a little rough over there.
Speaker 5: Why don't you move?
Speaker 6: Well, it's too expensive in Fairview Heights. I don't make
enough money.
Speaker 5: Hey, we're not paying you enough as his assistant.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, he claims it's out of his hands.
Speaker 8: At the same time, Kay Jaeger and Lesligo m at
a cigar bar and nearby Ladera Heights, Thomas F. Heywood
is enjoying us smoke.
Speaker 9: Ah, gentlemen, this is the life Brandon walks in.
Speaker 3: Is this the best use of your time? In congressman?
Speaker 9: Indeed, Brandon, it is.
Speaker 3: During work hours.
Speaker 9: Brandon, my boy. There are times I work till midnight
and other times I'd take a few hours off in
the middle of the day. So it all adds up
in the end.
Speaker 3: I get it. You spread out your forty hours a week, twelve.
Speaker 10: This day, two, that day, that day.
Speaker 9: How about instead of being the timesheet monitor, you become
the smoking buddy and have a seat? Sure?
Speaker 3: Why not it?
Speaker 2: Brandon takes a seat next to the Congressman.
Speaker 9: That's more like it. Listen, Brandon, you have to enjoy
life once you're in a good position.
Speaker 3: I thought the motto was the work never ends.
Speaker 9: Work is for chumps. I prefer to work it now.
Speaker 3: That's a slogan for the future.
Speaker 2: A man walks into the place, he looks determine, and
he sees the congressman and makes a beeline straight to him.
Then you're standing right in front of him.
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, can I help you with something?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 9: You want an autograph or something?
Speaker 11: What I want? Congressman? Heywood is no pride event in
Fairview height.
Speaker 2: Brandon suddenly looks up.
Speaker 5: Well, let's get to the agenda.
Speaker 7: Yes, there have been some small rumblings from some straight folks. Oh,
I'm sure they don't think that a Pride event should
be public.
Speaker 4: Having it indoors defeats the purpose and reinforces why it
needs to be out in the open.
Speaker 6: What would it take for someone to shut this down.
Speaker 4: Leslie, Well, they could get signatures and file a petition.
It could get argued in court, and that would defeat
and that would delay the event.
Speaker 5: We can't let that happen.
Speaker 6: Well, how can you find a compromise?
Speaker 7: That would be the test?
Speaker 5: Ladies? I think we need to come up with a
plan B and then a plan C.
Speaker 6: What's Plan B?
Speaker 7: Having an indoor event and.
Speaker 4: Plans see, try to find a way to make this
so family say that the Straits can't even turn it down.
This event can bring a lot, and I mean a
lot of revenue to Fairview Heights in Englewood. I want
this event to happen.
Speaker 2: Back at the cigar stop.
Speaker 9: Really, And why is that.
Speaker 11: Bryant Bryant benito.
Speaker 9: Bryant's Bryant's bonito? Why is that?
Speaker 11: Well, we don't need that kind parading around for everyone
to see that kind, Yes, that kind Bryant Benito.
Speaker 9: What if I tell you it will be an all inclusive,
family friendly event.
Speaker 11: And what if I tell you that I don't want
my five and seven year old boys around?
Speaker 2: Brandon stands up. Then the congressman stands up.
Speaker 9: Buddy, There's no need for such language. Come, let's dialogue
about this a little.
Speaker 11: There is nothing to dialogue. I'm a taxpayer and you
work for me.
Speaker 3: I'm a taxpayer and he works for me too.
Speaker 11: Oh look, pal, look, hey, I don't want I don't
even care what you do behind closed doors.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah. You need a new speech now.
Speaker 11: You know, Heywood, myself and others are not going to
let this happen.
Speaker 9: Now you listen to me, Bryant Benito, I will fight
you and your cronies on this. We are having a
Pride event in Fairview Heights.
Speaker 11: Well, well, I guess I will have to take this
matter to city hall.
