Title: "The One Where The Prince Gets Unmasked"
Scene 85 (continues): Interior / Harry's Bedroom / Night
HARRY: (frowning, confused) "Excuse me, what?"
LOUIS: (worried, ashamed, staring at Harry's reaction) "What you just heard."
HARRY: "Your name's not Kevin?"
LOUIS: "Not exactly."
HARRY: (serious, looks disappointed) "What?"
LOUIS: (stands up, nervous, walks around the room) "It's... kind of a long story."
HARRY: "I have time."
LOUIS: "Um." (standing in front of Harry, fidgeting with his hands, nervous) "It's like... like the Elijah thing you told me."
HARRY: "Nobody ever even heard of Elijah... until now. You are the first one I tell. Your case kind of looks different."
LOUIS: "It's... Harry, um, I don't even know where to start."
HARRY: "First of all, calm down... and sit here."
LOUIS: "I feel better standing up."
HARRY: "Whatever you want but, please, explain."
LOUIS: "Okay... Kevin is not actually..." (sits next to Harry) "My name, name."
HARRY: "Your name, name?"
LOUIS: "Yeah, that."
HARRY: "Kevin, I'm freaking out."
LOUIS: "Don't freak out, it's just a name."
HARRY: "What else did you lie about?"
LOUIS: "No, I didn't lie." (sighs) "I promise."
HARRY: "I... I don't even know what to say."
LOUIS: "Are you mad?"
HARRY: "I'm not mad, I'm lost." (scratching his head, frustrated) "I don't understand this quite well and you are not explaining anything."
LOUIS: "Kevin's everything I'm not."
HARRY: "Then you did lie."
LOUIS: "No, I didn't. Just about the name. The rest is true."
HARRY: "But Kevin is the one I'm starting to get to know now." (stands up, looks mad) "But now you say he's everything you are not. Then who are you?"
LOUIS: "It's me, it's still me. I wasn't lying about who I am. This is who I am."
HARRY: "Elijah was everything I wasn't, literally everything. He was straight, Kevin." (sighs, disappointed) "God! I don't even know if I should still call you Kevin. How do I call you now?"
LOUIS: (regretful, eyes getting watery) "You can still call me Kevin."
HARRY: "But that's not who you are."
LOUIS: "That's who I want to be."
HARRY: "You've been pretending to be someone else all this time then?"
LOUIS: "That was the idea." (sighs) "But then..."
HARRY: "But then what?"
LOUIS: "You showed up and... I started to know a bit of you and I couldn't pretend anymore."
