Lyrics:
I'm the sparrow on the roof
I'm the list of everyone I have to lose
I'm the rainbow in the dart
I am who I was and how much I can hurt

So I will look for you in stories of hurricans
Westward leading, still proceeding
To the world unseen

I'm the mirror in the hall
From your empty room I can hear it fall
Now that we must live apart
I have a lock of hair and one-half of my heart

So I will look for you
Between the grooves of songs we sing
Westward leading, still proceeding
To the world unseen

There are no gifts that will be found
Wrapped in winter, laid beneath the ground
You must be somewhere in the stars
'Cause from a distance comes the sound of your guitar

And I will look for you in Memphis and the miles between
I will look for you in morphine and in dreams
I will look for you in the rhythm of my bloodstream
Westward leading, still proceeding
To the world unseen

Kevin: You know, it's, it's kind of stuffy and pretentious, but the drinks are free and it's an excuse to dress up.
Scotty: Sadly, I can't. I'm... I'm actually working on that event.
Kevin: You're kidding.
Scotty: I wish I were.
Kevin: Can you get someone to fill in?
Scotty: It's not that. It's... It's kind of a lot of money, Kevin.
Kevin: Oh, OK. Well, how much do you make on a night like that, 200, 300 max? You know, I could reimburse you for lost wages.
Scotty: I'm starting to feel a little insulted.
Kevin: Oh, oh, come on. That's, that's not why... You know, it's just, it's kind of a big deal for me, you know. My whole family will be there. I would, I would like to have you sitting next to me, you know, not serving ahi on toast.
Scotty: Now I'm officially insulted.
Kevin: Oh, stopping so...
Scotty: Stopping so what? You offered to pay me to be your date.
Kevin: It's not your primary job.
Scotty: Whether it's my day or night job doesn't matter. I'm a cater waiter. You're going out with a cater waiter. Unlike you, I take it seriously.

Nora: I'll talk to you later. Kevin, Scotty's here. He's working. You should talk to him.
Kevin: Yes, I will. Thank you, Mom. Excuse me.

Scotty: They look hungry at Camelot.
Kevin: Could we please talk for a second?
Scotty: I'm actually working right now, and you don't want to get caught talking to the help.
Kevin: OK, you're still mad. I get it.
Scotty: Yeah, well at the moment, I have to make sure that everyone at Pippin gets their drinks. We'll talk about it later. OK?
Kevin: Could I have one?
Scotty: I'm not your waiter. Get it yourself.

Sarah: Oh, Kevin. Did you see Scotty is here?
Kevin: Yeah, I know, I know. Thank you.

Kevin: Amber, you do wanna... dance?
Amber: Sure. I love old music.

Kevin: Look, I know we barely know each other, but could you, could you please be honest with me?
Amber: Sure. I'm a bad liar anyway.
Kevin: If you were kind of dating this guy and he said he would pay for you not to come as a catering waiter to this event tonight but as his date, is... is... is that so bad?
Amber: Yes.
Kevin: OK, let me rephrase that. If a guy you were kind of dating...
Amber: You can't buy someone's time. It's all tied to pride and the work ethic, like Sigmund Freud said.
Kevin: What did Freud say?
Amber: He said, "Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness."
Kevin: Wow. Do people underestimate you a lot?
Amber: It goes with the hair.

Kevin: So it was a bad idea offering to pay?
Tyler: Not if the person you offered to pay is a hooker.
Kevin: Yeah, you're right. Oh, La Bamba is my cue to leave any dance floor immediately. Sorry. Go, twinkle toes.
Tyler: I think your brother is getting very drunk.
Justin: I know, and it's so cool it's not me, right?

Scotty: I'm on a professional level, I'm asking you, please leave me alone right now.
Kevin: Look, all I wanted to do was to take you to a nice dress-up party with my family, and I was just turned into a quagmire.
Scotty: Can we talk about this later when you are sober and I'm not at work?
Kevin: I never get like this, OK? I never lose control over anyone.
Scotty: I'm supposed to be flattered?
Kevin: Yes. So could you please forgive me so I can stop getting drunk? I promise, I'll never offer to pay for anything ever again. Not a dinner or a movie or not even a parking meter.
Scotty: OK. Enough. I forgive you.
Kevin: Really?
Manager: Scotty Wandell. That's it. You're fired.
Kevin: It's OK. Wait here. Even wasted, I can handle this one.
Manager: Stations four and five need bussing! Look, I am sorry to fire your little boyfriend back there...
Kevin: Scott's not just my little boyfriend, he's also my client. I'm an attorney.
Manager: Look, don't make this thing with gay thing. I'd have done the same if you were a chick.
Kevin: Would all your employees past and present confirm that? I tell you what, first thing tomorrow morning, we'll be asking all of them. I'll do that after scheduling the depositions. And I'll leave yours to last 'cause you'll be way too busy answering interrogatories we'll be serving.
Manager: Maybe I should've given Scott a warning first. My fault.
Kevin: Maybe. But speaking as a guest, Scott's a really hard worker. So if I were you, I'd give him a raise.

Scotty: Compliments of the management.
Sarah: Fabulous.
Justin: Hey, all, what's the skinny?
Nora: Scotty, how nice.

Joe: Who said anything about going back inside?

Date Night

"Color" by Amos Lee
Kevin & Scotty's first date.

Lyrics:
Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Feeling like such a mess
Now I'm down I'm just hanging on the corner

I can't help but reminisce
When you're gone all the colors fade
When you're gone no New Year's Day parade
You're gone
Colors seem to fade

Your mama called she said that you're down stairs crying
Feeling like such a mess
Yeah I hear you you're in the background bawling
What happened to your sweet summertime dress

I know we all, we all got our faults
We get locked in our vaults and we stay
But when you're gone all the colors fade
When you're gone no New Year's Day parade
You're gone
Colors seem to fade
Colors seem to fade

Yeah

Scotty: That's it? I'm done? I'm not going on the stage?
Kevin: It's a witness stand. And no, they settled ten minutes ago. But, uh, you can take comfort in the thought it was your impending testimony that put the fear of god in them.
Scotty: I'm crushed. I feel like an understudy. Who never got to go on.
Kevin: Sorry.
Scotty: No, um, I'm sorry for the other night.
Kevin: What other night?
Scotty: The movies? "Two for the road"? Although, in our case,it was four, if you count your mother and my friend.
Kevin: Your friend? You were holding hands,so unless he was a blind friend, I would assume he's your boyfriend.
Scotty: I know you were hurt.
Kevin: No, that would imply I cared.
Scotty: When can we go out again?
Kevin: I don't ask guys out twice who are currently involved. I'd imagine you'd understand that, being the poster boy for monogamy.
Scotty: There is no harm in dating around. When I'm exclusive, I'm exclusive.
Kevin: So are you? Exclusive?
Scotty: Well, we're not registered, if that's what you mean. And P.S., you were the one who canceled on me to hang out with your mom. I'm the one who should be offended and a little weirded out.
Kevin: Okay, fine. How's tomorrow night?
Scotty: My boyfriend and I might have plans, but I'll check.
Kevin: He can come,too. He was kinda hot. How's 7:30?
Scotty: Geriatric. Let's say 9.

Scotty: With me coming out was never an issue. I was so gay so quickly, there was no use in arguing with anybody about it. With you, I imagine it was more like pulling teeth.
Kevin: No,I was, I was just a late bloomer, that's all. I didn't come into this world loving clothes or musical theater. I was keeping it all pretty much to myself until senior year when I hooked up with this guy Danny MacCullough in his attic.

♪ Color ♪ by Amos Lee ♪ Listen
Scotty: Why are you whispering?
Kevin: I'm, I'm not. Anyway, um, Danny's older sister Abigail was best friends with Kitty, and that halloween dny decided to dresup as a french chamber maid.
Scotty: Nice.
Kevin: Abigail, no fool, figures things out. She and Danny have a heart-to-heart. Of course, Danny tells her everything. Abigail tells Kitty. Kitty...bom-bom-bom...confronts me.
Scotty: What did you do?
Kevin: What could I do? I couldn't very well deny it. I made her swear a vow of secrecy, but by christmas, she told all my brothers and sisters. Anyway, when I finally told mom, she immediately joined parents and frs of lesbians and gays.
Scotty: Oh...
Kevin: No, no, "oh." I became her cause celebre. I was an exchange student in my own home.
Scotty: How did you get so cute?
Kevin: I was born this way. What's your excuse?

Scotty: I love this part. When you look at someone and they don't look away.
Kevin: Could you please pass the chutney?

Scotty: I never know what to do after a date in L.A. People always just drive around, but that's what everyone does all day, and with the cost of gas... or you can go to an outdoor mall and walk around. I always feel like I'm in a theme park, and I get depressed I'm not in a real city like new york.
Kevin: Well, it's, it's late, so I'll take you home.
Scotty: I don't know what happened in there, but it was just a kiss.
Kevin: I got a little anxious, that's all. And before you say anything, this has nothing to do with me being gay. I'm not, I'm not comfortable with public displays of affection. I wouldn't be if I was straight.
Scotty: Well, that's impossible to know and I don't believe you anyway.
Kevin: Well, unfortunately, some of us were raised in a more reserved world ,scotty.
Scotty: You're not reserved. You're just tragically tangled up in your own homophobia.
Kevin: "Homophobia"? Wow. You, you really don't know me.
Scotty: What's not to know? Your mother is a friend to lesbian and gay people everywhere. I know you're out at work.> You probably go to benefits with lots of other gay men where you kiss each other on the cheeks, and I'm sure you get lots of phone numbers. But when you get home, more nights than not, you're alone... because the one place you don't feel comfortable and secure is in your own skin. I can read you like a comic book, Kevin Walker, two pages at a time.
Kevin: Can I tell you what your problem is now?
Scotty: Fire away.
Kevin: You're impatient. If you really did understand me, you'd know not to kiss me in the middle of an indian restaurant while I'm still working on goat curry. All you had to do was wait until we got to the car. You should let people mature on their own terms. And no, you didn't just compare me to a comic book.
Scotty: But I love comic books.
Kevin: Come on, I'll drive you home.

Kevin: Hi.
Scotty: I... I wanted to apologize for last night.
Kevin: Why? Why didn't you just call?
Scotty: I felt like I should... say this in person. I assumed things about you I had no right to. I mean,I'm judging you for air kissing people at benefits I don't even get invited to. Frankly, I couldn't afford them. What I really want to say is I like you, and I feel completely and totally out of my league. Frankly, I feel like such a loser when I'm with you. Well, that's a whole other conversation. That's my homework.
Kevin: Scotty... stop talking. You were right about everything. And frankly, I'm relieved you're not as wildly evolved as you seem. It can be very... intimidating. We're doing that "not look away" thing again you like so much. Hi, Mrs. Berrymen. Okay,thanks. I'm kidding. Get in here.

Kevin: Would you excuse me for a second?
Nora: ♪Selecting souvenirs
Scotty: Mr. Walker. Of course you'd come to see "Two For the Road," you tough attorney-at-law.
Kevin: Look, I'm so sorry. I, I know I was supposed to call you. My, my mom kinda hijacked my day.
Scotty: Oh, that's OK. I find ways to keep busy. There's the gym, gainful employment, suitors.
Randy: I got the tickets.
Scotty: Randy, this is the lawyer I mentioned. Kevin Walker, Randy Stewart.
Kevin: Hi.
Randy: Hi. I've heard a lot about you.
Kevin: Oh, really? Well, he, he's not a very accurate witness, so if they're bad things, know that he exaggerates.
Randy: Well, they haven't been bad at all. He said you were very honorable.
Kevin: Wow. Well, you know, that's just my suits. They, uh, they, they give the impression of, um, they make me seem like someone I'm not.
Nora: Scotty!
Scotty: Oh, Mrs. Walker. Hi. Uh, this is my friend, Randy.
Nora: Hi. Oh, we should sit together.
Kevin: No. No. No. No. Well, you know, I mean, I'm, I'm sure we won't get four seats together. So, um...we, come on. Let's go. Nice to meet you, Randy.

"Easier To Lie" by Aqualung
Kevin eats Red Verbed Cupcake made by Scotty

Lyrics:
To bear the weight and push into the sky
It's easier to lie, easier to lie

And honestly to look you in the eye
It's easier to lie, easier to lie

To be the one, to be the only one
Someone has to give a lot
Something has to give a lot
And who am I to give you what you need
When I'm learning, just learning, learning how to live

And to bear the weight and push into the sky
It's easier to lie, easier to lie
And honestly to look you in the eye
It's easier to lie, easier to lie

To fill the space, the space you made for me
Try to be the one you want, try to be the way you want
And maybe I could be the one you need
If you'd only show me, show me how to live

Snd to bear the weight and push into the sky
It's easier to lie, easier to lie
And do what's right when everything is wrong
It's easier to run, it's easier to

Never have to look you in the eye
It's easier to lie, easier to lie
To bear the weight and push into the sky
It's easier to lie

Previously on Brothers and Sisters:
Scotty: I usually steer clear of your kind. I like a man who's not afraid of a little eyeliner. Well, you know, a lot.

Kevin: What's up?
Voice: Scotty Wandell is here.
Kevin: OK, Gimme 30 seconds, and send him in. I have a thing.
Sarah: Yeah? There's no such thing as a binding verbal agreement, is there?
Kevin: Uh, if the arrangement Dad had with these people was ongoing for more than a year, even if it was just a verbal agreement, yeah, it could be enforced in a lawsuit, which could get expensive.
Sarah: What should I do?
Kevin: I don't know. Re-hire them. Make it right.
Sarah: What's the point of having a lawyer if they can't help you?
Scotty: Tell me about it. Hey, you're...
Sarah: "Great shoes." Or Sarah, Kevin's sister.
Kevin: Yeah.
Scotty: Scotty. Nice to meet you. For a second, I thought maybe you were his beard.
Kevin: Only to the senior prom.
Scotty: Your older brother's a peach.
Kevin: Younger.
Sarah: Thanks for the compliment.
Kevin: It's not compliment. He used it to insult me.
Scotty: Hardly. I like older guys.
Sarah: So, Scotty, are you a client?
Scotty: I'm a witness. Well I think I'm far more than a witness, but all he ever talks about is the case.
Kevin: We're gonna clock here, so...
Sarah: OK.
Kevin: Yeah.
Sarah: Scotty, how would you like to come to a party tonight at my mom's?
Kevin: No, Sarah!
Sarah: It's a pool party. My whole family will be there.
Kevin: No!
Scotty: I'd love to. Should I bring a suit?
Sarah: What's your e-mail address?
Scotty: Mollyjustmight at hotmail dot com.
Sarah: Great! Well, we'll see you tonight.
Kevin: Take a seat. Bitch.
Sarah: No, but payback is.

Scotty: Red velvet cupcakes.
Kevin: Oh, wow. That's, that's really nice of you. Um, thank you, Scotty.
Scotty: My own recipe.
Kevin: Look, I, I just wanna be real clear with you, OK? My sister invited you here to get back at me.
Scotty: For what? Being so cute?
Kevin: Yeah. Yeah, that and, and refusing to be her tool. You see, she's fighting with my brother, and I wouldn't be tricked into taking sides.
Scotty: Oh, so you don't want me here.
Kevin: It's... it's wildly unprofessional. OK? You know, the witness at the pool party, it's not how you win cases.
Scotty: Well, I'm more than just the witness at the pool party. I'm Scotty Wandell from Oxford, Mississippi, son of Wally and Bertha.
Kevin: There's a Wally Wandell?
Scotty: Yes.
Kevin: Wow.

Scotty: And that's your dad. Of course.
Kevin: Yup, the Unknowable king.
Scotty: A leader of men?
Kevin: No, not really. As it turns out, just a man. And one who has, after his passing, been causing us all a great deal of trouble.
Scotty: May I ask?
Kevin: No, you may not, you're just the witness. But it's what men do, right? And speaking as a gay one, I've never been able to master the art of being faithful.
Scotty: Oh... that. That's too bad. But then you can't be faithful to anything until you know why you should.

Scotty: Could someone pass the mango peach salsa?
Nora: Would someone please pass the mango peach salsa to Scotty?
Scotty: Thank you.

Scotty: I was just a receptionist, but even I could see it was fraud.
Kevin: And how exactly did you find out those fraud was taking place at Mangopian Insurance, Mr. Wandell?
Scotty: Because whenever I was bored, which was always, I eavesdropped on the salesmen's calls.
Kevin: What did you hear?
Scotty: 2,000 senior citizens from Needles, California, beeing sold fraudulent insurance.
Kevin: That many? Did anyone ever ask you to lie?
Scotty: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You're gay.
Kevin: If you could answer the question, cause these guys have lawyers that will shred you.
Scotty: I'm not gonna be prepped anymore until you admit you're a gay.
Kevin: Yeah, yeah, I am "a gay." So I mean... whatever. Could? How did you know?
Scotty: So you're, like, all in the closet. In this day and age?
Kevin: Ah, no, actually. I'm not in the closet at all. I'm open and proud.
Scotty: You're not proud. You're trying to pass. Wow! Is this your boyfriend?
Kevin: Ex.
Scotty: You look much happier when you were younger....and gayer.
Kevin: You know, I'm having a not great day. So can we just do this?

Kevin: I'll be in touch. (It's not heard in this clip though.)
Scotty: Great shoes.
Kevin: Don't ask.
