Elliot : How's Frederick? He didn't come.
Lee : Oh, well, you know Frederick - one of his moods. Although it wasn't a bad week. He sold a picture.
Elliot : Oh, great.
Lee : Yeah. It was one of his better drawings, a very beautiful nude study. Actually it was of me. It's funny, you know, it's a funny feeling to know you're being hung naked in a stranger's living home. But you can't tell it's me, although - you're turning all red. Elliot.
Elliot : Really?
-
Lee : Isn't that beautiful?
Elliot : I know this. Bach F Minor Concerto. It's one of my favorites. Did you ever get around to E.E. Cummings?
Lee : Yes, he's just adorable. They have a large gay clientele, you know, where I get my teeth cleaned. All the hygienists now wear gloves; because, they're afraid of AIDS.
Elliot : Oh, right.
-
Elliot : Where are you headed?
Lee : I was just going to my AA meeting.
Elliot : Oh, my God, why do you still go to those? You never touch alcohol.
Lee : Listen, you didn't know me before Frederick. I'd - I'd start with a beer at about 10 in the morning and - go on.
Elliot : You must've been very unhappy.
Lee : Unhappy and fat.

Elliot : How's Frederick?
Lee : Fine. Oh, we went to the Caravaggio exhibition at the Met. It's such a treat to go through a museum with Frederick. I mean, you learn so much. Do you like Caravaggio?
Elliot : Oh, yes, who doesn't? Look. E.E. Cummings. I'd like to get you this.
Lee : Oh, no. I can't let you get me that.
Elliot : Oh, yes. I'd like to very much.
Lee : No. I don't think so.
Elliot : I - I read a poem of you and thought of his last week. A poem of *his* and thought of *you*.

Lee : I want you to take care of me. And I love when you do things to me.

Lee : My literature professor really likes me. It was fun being out with him last night.
