-== SLEEP WITH ME ==-
Originally written by Roger Avary
What's a film about, what's it really about? What
genre does it take?
[Duane: What, like the spine? Like one sentence?]
No, I don't, fucking boy meets girl, I don't give
a shit about that. Fuck boy meets girl, fuck motorcycle movie. No,
what is really being said? What's really being said, that's what
you're talking about. 'Cause the whole idea, man, is subversion.
You want subversion on a massive level. You know what one of the
greatest fucking scripts ever written in the history of Hollywood
is? Top Gun.
[Duane: Oh, come on.]
Top Gun is fucking great. What is Top Gun? You
think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots.
[Duane: It's about a bunch of guys waving their
dicks around.]
It is a story about a man's struggle with his
own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've
got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the
fucking line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew.
They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're
saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways.
[Duane: What about Kelly McGillis?]
Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying:
no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go
the normal way. They're saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way,
go for the gay way, all right? That is what's going on throughout
that whole movie... He goes to her house, all right? It looks like
they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting
back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex.
He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the fuck,
what the fuck is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see
her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got
the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same
jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta
get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring
him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'm do that
through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That
is how she approaches it. Okay, now let me just ask you--I'm gonna
digress for two seconds here. I met this girl Amy here, she's like
floating around here and everything. Now, she just got divorced,
right?... All right, but the REAL ending of the movie is when they
fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over
into the gay way. They are this gay fighting fucking force, all
right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the
Russians. And it's over, and they fucking land, and Iceman's been
trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him,
all right? And what is the last fucking line that they have together?
They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice
comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!"
And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight!
Fuckin' A, man!
