“Number two is you ain’t gonna come to the bar, or wheedle anyone inta intervenin on yer behalf. Yer gonna sit at home an write an essay on what you really need an what you really want from me, an why you are makin life for me an everyone I know a livin hell. Then yer gonna pop that in the mail an if I think it’s honest an thorough then I’ll call ya an talk about when I think ya can re-enter queer society like a normal human bein instead a some sort a sideshow act that I didn’t hire an I ain’t payin for down there.”
Great stuff, Louise. Thanks!

Wow, Ellery didn't pause for breath there!
I never thought of Wayne's antics as a cry for attention from Ellery specifically, but looking at the pattern of his behaviour it is looking more like it is.
I think Wayne is lonely and scared and alone and like a lot of youngsters with issues he is acting up. Perhaps Ellery is the nearest thing that he has ever had to a mature male role model who didn't want anything from him. Perhaps Ellery spent more time at the bar before Ennis came along, and had more time for the patrons.
I know, I know, most of you think Wayne's a brat (and he is) but I am a sucker for a bird with a broken wing.
