ACT I
1 SCENE: KEVIN AND MIKES APT.-NYC-MORNING
Mike is getting ready for work, Kevin, his lover, is helping
him tie his tie.
MIKE
Did you see HX Magazine?
KEVIN
No.
MIKE
Marco Rossi's in town.
KEVIN
Really?
(pause)
What's he doing?
MIKE
Shakespeare in the Park! Please Kevin,
what do you think he's doing? He's
stripping.
KEVIN
Where?
MIKE
At that All-Male Peep Show on 47th
Street.
KEVIN
Well, you sure know where they are, don't
you?
MIKE
What does that mean?
KEVIN
You know what that means.
MIKE
Kevin, just cause I know where they are,
doesn't mean I still go.
KEVIN
Oh, you still go.
MIKE
I'm sorry, I just thought it would be
interesting to see Marco Rossi.
KEVIN
Why would that be interesting?
MIKE
He's a big deal.
KEVIN
He's just a porn star.
MIKE
He's not just a porn star.
KEVIN
You just want any excuse to go hang out
in those places.
MIKE
I don't "hang out" in those places
anymore, Kevin.
KEVIN
But you want to.
MIKE
No, I...I really, I can't talk about
this, I'm gonna be late.
Mike exits, Kevin stays, thinks for a moment.
2 SCENE: THE PEEP SHOW-NYC-EARLY MORNING
Lights up we are at the All-Male Peep Show. Ameer comes on
stage and gets a wheeling mop/bucket and mops out all of the
booths. When he is mopping booth 1, Robert enters.
ROBERT
Hey, Ameer. Hey, how you doing?
AMEER
I'm fine.
ROBERT
Hey, is Greg in yet?
AMEER
No, not yet.
ROBERT
Okay really quick...I got this new
outfit, but I'm not sure which one I like
better.
Pulls out two g-strings, holds one up to himself.
ROBERT (cont'd)
This one, or...
Holds another up.
ROBERT (cont'd)
...this one?
AMEER
Why you need new outfit?
ROBERT
I wanna look good for Marco Rossi.
GREG
Hey guys.
ROBERT
Oh, Greg, really quick. Which one you
like better this one or this one?
GREG
Are you're dressing up for Marco Rossi?
ROBERT
Aren't you?
GREG
Was I supposed to?
ROBERT
You don't think its exciting?
GREG
(Sarcastic)
Oh, yes, it's really exciting.
Robert, slightly annoyed, rolls his eyes and leaves.
AMEER
So, how is your mother?
GREG
She's not good.
AMEER
I am sorry.
GREG
She doesn't want to take her medicine.
She doesn't want anybody helping her.
AMEER
Well, what can you do?
Greg leaves, Brian enters.
BRIAN
Ameer, I'm here.
AMEER
Ugh!!! Brian, where were you, yesterday?
BRIAN
I was sick.
AMEER
Really?
BRIAN
Yes. I really was, I'm sorry, next time
I'll call I promise.
AMEER
You say that everytime.
BRIAN
I'm sorry, next time I really will call.
AMEER
You better.
BRIAN
I will.
AMEER
No you won't.
Switches on lights and music begins.
Music Cue-100% Pure Love
3 SCENE: 100% PURE LOVE
The minute the "OPEN" sign goes on music starts, Music Cue
and the Peep Show comes to life and the lights begin to
flash. Very early in the music the men, Robert, Brian, and
Greg, step through the doors dressed in very layered
clothing, like for the dead of winter in Russia. During the
song, the men change from these dead off the cold, bitter
streets costumes into the sexily clad, made-up men of the
Peep Show. Music lowers.
ROBERT
So, where were you yesterday?
BRIAN
Why does everybody wanna know where I
was.
GREG
Because we worry about you.
BRIAN
You don't need to worry about me.
GREG
Well we do.
BRIAN
Well you don't need to.
GREG
So, where were you?
BRIAN
I was sick.
ROBERT
You weren't dancing at the Gaiety?
BRIAN
I don't dance there anymore, I told you
that.
GREG
You danced there last week.
BRIAN
Well I danced there last week, but not
anymore.
ROBERT
Why, what happened?
BRIAN
They told me not to come back.
ROBERT
Why?
BRIAN
I have no idea.
GREG
They just said,"Don't come back"?
BRIAN
Yep.
GREG
Why?
BRIAN
I guess they don't like me.
GREG
Did you piss 'em off?
BRIAN
I don't wanna talk about it.
(To Robert) )
And what the hell are you wearing? You
look like a God Damn Billy Doll.
After they finish getting dressed, they exit to their booths
and pop into their windows. As they exit, Ameer moves his
stand to the downstage position directly facing the house
center aisle. The mood should remain desolate, while the men
wait for customers. When everyone is in place, the first
customer of the day enters.
4 SCENE: FIRST CUSTOMERS OF THE DAY
All of the guys will enter straight up to Ameer's stand.
During this scene, Ameer in no way attempts to be friendly to
the customers. He rarely says one word to them, treating them
with disdain.
JANET
Hey, is Marco Rossi really performing all
week?
AMEER
Everyday.
JANET
Wow.
AMEER
How many tokens you want?
JANET
Oh, gimme five dollars worth please?
Ameer hands him coins.
JANET (cont'd)
And he's gonna show his dick and
everything?
AMEER
Everything.
He exits and goes in to a booth.
BRADLEY
Can I get four dollars worth please?
AMEER
Do you have anything smaller?
BRADLEY
No, sorry.
AMEER
Hold on.
Ameer exits.
MIKE
I can't believe I let you drag me here.
BRADLEY
Oh, fuck Kevin, if it was up to him you'd
never leave the house. You know you love
it.
MIKE
You never feel bad afterwards?
BRADLEY
Never?
MIKE
Never!
BRADLEY
Mike, grow up. It's not like you're
dating these guys. It's just a show.
They're just performers. It's like a
Broadway show without the boring parts.
MIKE
I've never been jerked off at a Broadway
show.
BRADLEY
You didn't see Footloose?
Ameer comes back. He gives Bradley change and Bradley exits.
MIKE
Can I get 3 please?
Ameer hands over the tokens and Mike goes in to a booth.
AMEER
Tokens! Tokens! I don't hear tokens.
Music Cue-Total Eclipse of the Heart
5 SCENE: TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART
One by one, the booths turns around and the men begin to
dance to the music. At one point in the song, the booths
should start rotating leaving Booth 2 only "open." At end of
scene, booths turn back around.
BRIAN
Did you cum, yet?
MIKE
Not yet.
BRIAN
You're not into me?
MIKE
No, I'm too excited I can't cum.
BRIAN
There's no rush. Take your time.
MIKE
Show me your ass.
BRIAN
You like my hole?
MIKE
Do you like to get your ass eaten?
BRIAN
I love that.
MIKE
Oh my god!
BRIAN
Did you cum yet?
MIKE
Not yet.
BRIAN
What else do you get into?
MIKE
Have you ever been tied up?
BRIAN
A couple of times.
MIKE
Did you like it?
BRIAN
Oh yeah, I loved it.
MIKE
What happened?
BRIAN
I got tied up.
MIKE
How?
BRIAN
How what?
MIKE
How did you get tied up?
BRIAN
Oh, With rubber. Did you cum yet?
MIKE
Stop asking me that.
BRIAN
What?
MIKE
"Did you cum yet ... did you cum yet."
Goddamn, I can't cum if you keep asking
me that.
BRIAN
Well, you don't need to get testy with
me.
MIKE
Well, you're making me self conscious.
BRIAN
I just wanna make sure you're turned on
MIKE
Well, I'm not turned on now.
BRIAN
Well, that's not my fault.
MIKE
It is your fault.
BRIAN
Sorry, Jesus Christ.
MIKE
Just turn around. Don't talk. Just turn
around.
Booth one and booth three spin back around, so we see all
three boys dance at once as song and. One by one booths all
turn around. One by one all customers exit and the boys
reappear in their windows.
6 SCENE: STEVEN ASKS FOR AN INTERVIEW
Steven enters at end of previous song. Ameer is reading his
paper. Dialogue begins immediately after last beat of music.
STEVEN
Excuse me, um, I was wondering if I could
talk to the manager.
AMEER
I am the manager.
STEVEN
I saw the sign out front. So I was like
wondering if I could do an interview or
something. Who do I talk to?
AMEER
You wanna dance?
STEVEN
Well, I wanna find out about it.
AMEER
Have you ever done it before?
STEVEN
No.
AMEER
Have you ever been inside a place like
this before?
STEVEN
No. Not really.
AMEER
So why you wanna work here?
STEVEN
What do you mean?
AMEER
I mean, you never been here, but you
wanna work here, why?
STEVEN
I have a friend who does it.
AMEER
He works here?
STEVEN
No, but he works in a place like this.
AMEER
And he told you about it?
STEVEN
A little bit.
AMEER
What'd he say?
STEVEN
He said you can make really good money.
AMEER
What's wrong, you don't want to work at
MacDonald's? Ha, ha, ha.
STEVEN
No, I actually don't want to work at
MacDonald's.
AMEER
Okay, you come back at 3:00 and we'll see
what we can do.
STEVEN
So just come back at 3:00?
AMEER
Yeah.
STEVEN
And you'll be here?

KEVIN
Your assistant said you were in a
meeting.
MIKE
I was at lunch.
KEVIN
So you lied to your assistant?
MIKE
No.
KEVIN
What did you tell him?
MIKE
I told him I was going to lunch.
KEVIN
You didn't say, "If Kevin calls, tells
him I'm in a meeting."
MIKE
Of course not.
KEVIN
Why would he say you were in a meeting?
MIKE
Because he's an idiot? I don't know why.
KEVIN
Just admit it. You didn't go to lunch,
you didn't have a meeting. Just admit it,
you were sleazing around some God Damn
dirty bookstore.
MIKE
(In a quiet, hushed voice)
For the last time, Kevin. I don't go to
those places anymore, I told you that.
KEVIN
I know what you told me.
MIKE
Kevin, I was not at a dirty bookstore. I
was having lunch and if you don't want to
believe me, you don't have to.
KEVIN
I'll tell you what I believe, Mike. I
believe I was getting your dry cleaning
ready, which I believe you asked me to
do. And I believe I was emptying out your
pockets. And I believe I found a gold
token. And I believe there were two
people fucking on the back. And I believe
it's from your Peep Show on 47th Street.
Am I wrong? Am I? Are you there?
