Jess: Do you think you can play a gay man?
Nick: I'm terrible at lying, I'm terrific at make-believe.
Jess: Okay.
Nick: Okay? But I need to know some backstory 'cause it's very important to me.
Jess: Okay. Yeah, backstory's important.
Nick: Okay. Tell me, have I always known I was gay, or did I just recently realize it?
Jess: That's-- Um, you-you always knew you were gay, but you grew up in an oil town where masculinity was the most valued currency. Um, you-you had an older brother named Chip.
Nick: And Chip was a union guy.
Jess: Yes.
Nick: And if it wasn't about Teamster Local 11, Chip didn't want to hear about it.
Jess: Oh, my God, we're doing this.
