Trivia The show at the Baths was attended by over 800 extras, who included some of New York's elite. They were all paid $1.00 for their part and had to sign releases before they were admitted. The revue "Beyond the Fringe" was playing at the time and the astute viewer can see Dudley Moore and Peter Cook sipping a drink in the crowd. See more »

Quotes [Michael apologizes for an insensitive, homophobic remark he made earlier]
Michael: You gotta realize, man, where I'm comin' from, see. Where I come from, what you do with fags is punch 'em in the mouth.
[He gently, playfully punches Scotti's jaw]
Scotti: Does that make it right, Michael?
Michael: No. but, uh, on an Air Force base that's just the way it is, you know. Everybody's super-butch.
Scotti: Is that where you're from?
Michael: Yeah. And, y'know, everybody just talks like that, so I guess I've always been like that.
Scotti: Always?
Michael: Well, maybe not always. I remember when I was twelve, I knew a guy who was a fighter pilot. His name was Greg, and he was a lot more sensitive than the rest of 'em, you know. He used to... he kind of befriended me... . One time we went out fishing, hit a flash storm, came on us. We got really drenched. There was a cabin there, but nobody put any firewood inside, so we couldn't get a fire going, couldn't get dry. We took off all our clothes, though, and there were a couple-a blankets, and we wrapped up in the blankets and tried to get warm... . I guess I went to sleep like that.
[he pauses, and lets out a deep breath]
Michael: The next thing I knew, man, I was flyin' across the room and lights were - flashlights were in my eyes, and, uh, it was my father and a couple of non-coms with him, and they grabbed Greg, pushin' him around and yellin' obscene things, and, y'know, he flipped out. Anyway, the lesson of the story is that I learned, y'know, not to - I learned not to put hands on other men.
Scotti: Did you love him?
Michael: Yeah, I guess I did.
Scotti: Y'know, Michael, if it weren't for your old man, you'd be normal.
[They both laugh]
