Part I of A Thing of Beauty introduces us to Colby Keller and Dale Cooper -- two men who share a unique chemistry with each other both on and off camera. Hand in hand, they explore a tropical oasis, joking around on the beach, swimming, laughing, while the Walt Whitman poem, We Two Boys Together Clinging, perfectly illustrates their friendship and bond over 100 years after it was written. This is paradise, firmly contrasted with the grunge and grime of the loud, dark, and dirty city -- the daily grind.
