Karen O'Connor, a young journalist known for her celebrity profiles, is consumed with discovering the truth behind a long-buried incident that affected the lives and careers of showbiz team Vince Collins and Lanny Morris.

Vince: [Beating up a bigot backstage] Say what you like about any jew in the world... BUT NOBODY CALLS MY PARTNER A *KIKE*
Lanny Morris: Having to be a nice guy is the toughest job in the world when you're not.
Vince: Look at you, you're a disgrace!
Lanny Morris: [to Vince] Get the fuck off me! We don't fuck, Vince! We're buddies, we're pals, we're partners, we're a duo. We love each other, but we don't fuck! We're fucking stars. We can - we can travel together. We can hang out together. We can live together, but we can't be queers!
Karen: [Narrating] All that remained of Maureen was a tree in her mother's garden.
Lanny Morris: I left you a note.
Karen: Where?
Lanny Morris: [Last lines] You're a very special girl. Forgive me.
Lanny Morris: I don't eat lobster.
