An Absolute Fuckton Of People At Pride Rn

BIG EDEN (2000) dir. Thomas Bezucha Henry Hart, a successful New York Artist, returns to the town of his childhood to care for the ailing grandfather who raised him. Back in tiny and quaint Big Eden, Henry must come to terms with his relationship to Dean Stewart, his best friend from high School, as well as the object of his unrequited love. All these years Henry has been pining for a dream image of Dean from back then. This is also the story of Pike Dexter, the shy, unassuming owner of the town’s general store, who is as surprised as anyone to find himself falling in love with Henry. The people of Big Eden conspire and attempt to bring Henry and Pike together. (link in title)

Iron Man 2 missing scene

Famous heart surgeon’s office. X-rays of Tony’s torso are laid out on the desk. Tony toys with his Rolex watch, doesn’t look up once.

HEART SURGEON (poking at the files)

It’s as I said, Mr. Stark: it’s impossible to remove the reactor without damaging your heart beyond repair, the shrapnel is lodged way too close to the left coronal artery. You’d die on the operating table. It’s a damn miracle you survived that first operation, that doctor of yours must have been a true wizard.

TONY STARK

He had very steady hands.

HEART SURGEON

Of course, if you could replace the Palladium with something that doesn’t combust, it’d put an end to your problem. But I’m no engineer.

TONY STARK (resetting the watch)

How long is left?

HEART SURGEON

Three months. Four months, tops. Palladium poisoning is very deadly. There’s some medication I can prescribe you to alleviate the pain if you want.

TONY STARK (with a little hand wave)

Sure, sure. Gimme all the good stuff.

SURGEON (embarassed, but expectant)

Also, it’s a bit…weird to ask, but…would you mind donating your body to our institute after you’re, ehm, gone? Body modifications as heavy as yours are so rare, and it would be such a valuable input to…

TONY STARK (shoots him a long look and nods after a beat, then wanders off, drumming on his arc reactor)

SURGEON (calling after him)

Best of luck Mr. Stark!

Watch ticks and ticks.

Ticking of the watch blends over into heavy metal music. In the limo. Tony lies on the backseat, washes down meds with alcohol, stares at the glass of scotch resting on his belly.

TONY STARK (casually)

Hey, Happy? Which of my car d’you like best?

HAPPY HOGAN (over his shoulder)

That’s a hard one, boss! Eh, well, the R8 is a thing of beauty, but I think I’d pick the Saleen. The noises that car makes! But in silver, orange isn’t really my thing. Why’d you ask, boss?

TONY STARK (removes his watch and puts it in his pocket)

Just curious! Let‘s get us to the airport as fast as we can, ok?

ADHD isn’t ignoring the elephant in the room it’s just that the elephant has been in the room for so long that your brain no longer registers its existence.
