"Being gay is really expensive." This is one of the quotes which Steven says in the film, himself having a low down job selling rotten tomatoes doesn't allow him to keep up with the latest trends, bars and also hotels. So he becomes a con-man, himself owing several credit cards and forms of ID under different names as well.

Steven not being able to give up his con-man career, ends up pretending to be a lawyer, and manages to get Phillip out of prison. Lots of twists do happen in the plot, hense why the narrative doesn't follow the usual conventions at all. After keeping up the con-man career, Steven ends up in jail once again at the end of the film, without Phillip.
