...late-night stoned discussion of Seattle's annual HUMP! - a film festival for amateur pornographers - Andrew makes his "you, me and a camera" proposal. The film will be "beyond gay," and a likely festival winner, he thinks. But primarily, it's an insult to Ben, a gauntlet thrown down in the battle of the lifestyles, with the subtext, You're too square for this. (Andrew's main defense in life is that he's resolutely not square...

Indeed, using investigators is not illegal if the information they obtain is used in the public interest.
