Scene one
HARVEY: So Nick, I saw you making out with that guy last night.
NICK: Yeah… haha. Just experimenting, you know.
HARVEY: Oh yeah? You ever done that before?
NICK: Ah, yeah… a couple of times.
HARVEY: So… you’re, like, bisexual?
NICK: Uh, I don’t know. Maybe. I just want to give it a try, open my mind. I mean, everyone is part gay, right?
HARVEY: Yeah, I’ve…
NICK: I mean I’ve never fancied a guy that way. But I don’t know how much of that is, you know, social conditioning. I’m kind of trying to find the gay me.
HARVEY: Yeah, ok, no, I get that. That’s cool. Really everyone should try something like that. It should be in sexual education or something, haha.
NICK: Yeah, haha, I don’t know.
Scene two
HARVEY: So Nick, how’s the love life?
NICK: Uh, not very… I, um, I guess I didn’t tell you about this. I’m doing this therapy thing.
HARVEY: Therapy, like psychotherapy? Is everything all right?
NICK: Yeah, no, no, it’s all right. It’s… I got into it through church, it’s like, reparative therapy. To, you know, try to fight it.
HARVEY: Fight what, being gay?
NICK: Being gay is… it’s like any psychological… you know, it’s like an addiction. You can fight it.
HARVEY: Jesus, this is so stupid. Did your parents get you into this?
NICK: No, I mean, they know, but it’s my own…
HARVEY: Listen. There is nothing wrong with being gay. It’s not a disease. It’s normal. It’s just the way you are.
NICK: No, I don’t… I just don’t see it like that. I don’t want it for myself. It’s a sin and it makes me feel bad.
HARVEY: Listen to yourself! It’s all about some religious bullshit, it’s not even about you. I mean, I could understand…
NICK: I know you don’t believe, and that’s fine, but just respect my decision, all right?
HARVEY: Fine. I’m just telling you right now, you can’t “cure” being gay. There’s just no way you can turn yourself straight even if you wanted.
