It's Harold's birthday, and his closest friends throw him a party at Michael's apartment.

Among Harold's presents is "Cowboy", since Harold may have trouble finding a cute young man on his own now that he's getting older.

As the party progresses the self-deprecating humor of the group takes a nasty turn as the men become drunker.

Climaxed by a cruel telephone "game" where each man must call someone and tell him (or her?) of his love for them.

It revolves around a group of men who are all gay, living in the gay subculture of New York.

One of the first real gay movies ever !

Michael: What's so fucking funny?
Harold: Life. Life's a goddamn laugh riot.

Harold: Who is she? Who was she? Who does she hope to be?

Michael: What is he - a psychiatrist or a hairdresser?
Donald: Actually he's both. He shrinks my head and then combs me out.

Donald: Thanks to the silver screen your neurosis has got style.

Michael: Believe it or not, there was a time in my life when I didn't go around announcing I was a faggot.

Emory: Who do you have to fuck to get a drink around here?
