00:00:11.125 --> 00:00:12.666
Let's get to it.

00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:14.041
All those in favor…

00:00:16.291 --> 00:00:17.625
All opposed.

00:00:20.666 --> 00:00:24.291
Well, the PTA has an accepted
set of rules concerning the prom.

00:00:24.375 --> 00:00:26.750
Young ladies must wear
non-revealing dresses.

00:00:26.833 --> 00:00:29.083
Young men must wear suits or tuxes.

00:00:29.166 --> 00:00:32.666
And if a student chooses to bring a date,
they must be of the opposite sex.

00:00:32.750 --> 00:00:34.916
Well, can't you just ban this student?

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.125
Well, we've been advised
that there may be some legal repercussions

00:00:38.208 --> 00:00:40.166
if we prevent this girl from attending,

00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:42.833
so although it breaks my heart,
we have no choice.

00:00:42.916 --> 00:00:45.458
- There won't be a prom.
- Mrs. Greene, a question.

00:00:45.541 --> 00:00:48.125
Have you asked the students
what they think of this?

00:00:48.208 --> 00:00:50.000
Are you choosing not to comment?

00:00:50.083 --> 00:00:52.291
Hey, there's Emma!
Can we get a comment?

00:00:52.375 --> 00:00:54.083
Can you answer
some questions?

00:00:54.166 --> 00:00:55.625
Can we get a statement?

00:00:55.708 --> 00:00:59.291
Emma, what do you think
of the PTA's decision to cancel prom?

00:00:59.375 --> 00:01:01.083
Emma, do you have a response?

00:01:01.107 --> 00:01:12.107

00:01:44.125 --> 00:01:46.791
It's Frank DiLella
with New York 1's &lt;span style="style2"&gt;On Stage.

00:01:46.875 --> 00:01:48.564
We're here for the
opening night of &lt;span

00:01:48.588 --> 00:01:50.916
style="style2"&gt;Eleanor! The
Eleanor Roosevelt Musical,

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.166
starring the incomparable Dee Dee Allen.

00:01:54.250 --> 00:01:58.625
- Dee Dee! You're a Broadway star.
- Yes, I am.

00:01:58.708 --> 00:02:02.166
You have your choice of roles.
What drew you to Eleanor?

00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:07.250
Well, Eleanor Roosevelt
was a brave, powerful, charismatic woman

00:02:07.333 --> 00:02:09.250
who no one had ever heard of.

00:02:09.333 --> 00:02:10.958
Her story needs to be told.

00:02:11.041 --> 00:02:15.416
People need to know
it is possible to change the world,

00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:18.791
whether you're
a homely middle-aged First Lady

00:02:18.875 --> 00:02:21.250
or a Broadway star!

00:02:21.333 --> 00:02:24.458
Barry Glickman! You were brilliant as FDR.

00:02:24.541 --> 00:02:26.666
From the moment
I first stepped into FDR's shoes…

00:02:26.750 --> 00:02:28.916
And when I say "shoes," I mean wheelchair.

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.083
…I had an epiphany.

00:02:30.166 --> 00:02:32.708
I realized there is no difference

00:02:32.791 --> 00:02:36.375
between the president of the United States
and a celebrity.

00:02:36.458 --> 00:02:40.583
We both have power.
The power to change the world.

00:02:40.666 --> 00:02:43.250
It's a weighty responsibility.

00:02:43.333 --> 00:02:44.791
Let's talk process.

00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:26.083
Bravo!

00:03:27.541 --> 00:03:30.041
The first review is in.
New Jersey &lt;span style="style2"&gt;Star-Ledger.

00:03:30.125 --> 00:03:31.541
Don't tell me…

00:03:32.291 --> 00:03:35.458
unless it's a rave or a mixed-positive.

00:03:36.041 --> 00:03:37.291
It says we're a hit!

00:03:39.041 --> 00:03:41.791
Oh, my God!

00:04:05.458 --> 00:04:08.375
To &lt;span style="style2"&gt;Eleanor!
May she run for eternity!

00:04:08.458 --> 00:04:10.125
To &lt;span style="style2"&gt;Eleanor!

00:04:57.416 --> 00:04:59.041
It's just what we do.

00:04:59.125 --> 00:05:00.958
The rest of the reviews are coming in!

00:05:02.250 --> 00:05:05.666
New York Post,
&lt;span style="style1"&gt;Associated Press, New York Times.

00:05:05.750 --> 00:05:07.750
&lt;span style="style2"&gt;-The New York Times!

00:05:08.583 --> 00:05:09.416
Wow…

00:05:13.541 --> 00:05:14.541
What?

00:05:15.333 --> 00:05:16.750
- Wow…
- What's happening?

00:05:16.833 --> 00:05:20.166
This is not a review you want
when you have crappy advance sales.

00:05:20.250 --> 00:05:21.875
This is gonna close us.

00:05:22.625 --> 00:05:25.041
What didn't they like? Was it the hip-hop?

00:05:25.125 --> 00:05:27.083
Yes, but not only that.

00:05:27.166 --> 00:05:30.833
-For God's sake, Sheldon. Just read it.
-What? Read.

00:05:30.916 --> 00:05:33.250
Okay, just the highlights.

00:05:33.333 --> 00:05:37.208
"Barry Glickman's FDR might just be
the most insultingly misguided,

00:05:37.291 --> 00:05:39.500
offensive, and laughable performance

00:05:39.583 --> 00:05:44.000
that this reviewer has ever had
the squirming misfortune to endure."

00:05:46.750 --> 00:05:48.208
That's not so bad.

00:05:48.833 --> 00:05:51.166
-Do her. Do her.
-I'm just saying.

00:05:52.166 --> 00:05:54.416
"Watching Dee Dee Allen's
Eleanor Roosevelt

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:57.208
croaking out a heavy-handed
message of activism

00:05:57.291 --> 00:05:59.708
is like paying an aging drag queen

00:05:59.791 --> 00:06:03.041
to shove a syrup-soaked
American flag down my throat."

00:06:03.625 --> 00:06:05.208
Well, that…

00:06:05.291 --> 00:06:07.916
That's not criticism.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.250
That's just… It's just a per…
…a personal attack.

00:06:12.333 --> 00:06:16.833
"If you're considering buying a ticket
to this show, do yourself a favor."

00:06:16.916 --> 00:06:19.791
"Buy a few feet
of good, heavy rope instead

00:06:19.875 --> 00:06:21.666
and then go hang yourself."

00:06:21.750 --> 00:06:25.541
Oh, God! Oh, God!

00:06:26.666 --> 00:06:29.416
What?
Was the show really that bad?

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:32.333
It's not the show. It's you two.

00:06:32.416 --> 00:06:34.208
You're just not likeable.

00:06:34.916 --> 00:06:35.916
-What?
-What?

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.291
Nobody likes a narcissist.

00:06:39.208 --> 00:06:40.708
- Oh, this…
- Oh, that.

00:06:40.791 --> 00:06:44.291
Leave it to me. I'll go and try
and change the narrative once again.

00:06:44.375 --> 00:06:48.791
-I hate this world! This is bullshit!
-Just horrible. It's just… It hurts.

00:06:48.875 --> 00:06:52.000
It… It hurts my heart.

00:06:52.083 --> 00:06:54.375
Where did everybody go?

00:06:55.333 --> 00:06:58.583
- What can I get you?
- Yola Mezcal blackberry smash.

00:06:59.166 --> 00:07:01.250
My condolences, Dee Dee.

00:07:01.333 --> 00:07:03.791
But remember, you have friends.

00:07:03.875 --> 00:07:06.458
Thank you. Who are you?

00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:08.583
Trent Oliver.

00:07:11.041 --> 00:07:14.125
-We've done five shows together.
-Oh, really? Oh, my God.

00:07:14.208 --> 00:07:16.375
Trent went to Juilliard.
Won't shut up about it.

00:07:16.458 --> 00:07:19.583
-Oh, right, Trent! Of course, Trent!
-Trent.

00:07:22.166 --> 00:07:23.541
Why are you dressed like a waiter?

00:07:24.583 --> 00:07:26.916
I'm in between gigs at the moment.

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.500
Honestly, Dee Dee, I feel adrift
as I did in my days before Juilliard.

00:07:31.583 --> 00:07:32.666
Oh, my God.

00:07:32.750 --> 00:07:35.875
You see, my passions are fueled
by the power of Lady Theater

00:07:35.958 --> 00:07:39.000
and how she can,
with a gentle touch of her hand,

00:07:39.083 --> 00:07:41.083
sculpt a human soul.

00:07:41.166 --> 00:07:43.833
-But we learned at Juilliard…
-Oh, mother of God.

00:07:43.916 --> 00:07:47.791
If I could soliloquize,
"If you prick me, do I not bleed?"

00:07:49.666 --> 00:07:52.541
"And if you do not pay me,
do I not still act?"

00:07:52.625 --> 00:07:54.208
That might be enough.

00:07:54.291 --> 00:07:56.000
Still, I have played Hamlet,

00:07:56.083 --> 00:07:59.185
and yet I'm only known as
&lt;span style="style2"&gt;that

00:07:59.209 --> 00:08:01.875
guy from the beloved
early aughts' sitcom…

00:08:02.458 --> 00:08:03.708
Talk to the Hand.

00:08:07.875 --> 00:08:10.791
I question
the very meaning of my existence.

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.125
Maggie Smith once approached me
in a men's bathroom and she said,

00:08:17.208 --> 00:08:19.791
"Who sent you? Was it Michelle Dockery?"

00:08:19.875 --> 00:08:23.708
"Because the court said 500 yards."
You could tell she was scared.

00:08:23.791 --> 00:08:26.958
- Hey, guys!
- Angie! Angie.

00:08:27.041 --> 00:08:30.291
I'm sorry your show
closed on opening night again!

00:08:32.416 --> 00:08:35.083
Welcome to the world
of the unemployed. Top me off.

00:08:35.166 --> 00:08:36.750
I thought you were in &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Chicago.

00:08:36.833 --> 00:08:39.583
I just quit.

00:08:40.208 --> 00:08:43.708
Twenty years in the chorus and they still
wouldn't let me play Roxie Hart.

00:08:43.791 --> 00:08:45.958
- Aw.
- You wanna know who's playing the role?

00:08:46.041 --> 00:08:47.416
-Kelly Ripa?
-Cher?

00:08:47.500 --> 00:08:49.166
-Connie Chung.
-Kris Jenner?

00:08:49.250 --> 00:08:50.833
No, Tina Louise.

00:08:51.750 --> 00:08:53.916
Ginger from &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Gilligan's Island.

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.625
Oh, my God, is she still alive?

00:09:09.916 --> 00:09:12.250
We're wasting our lives.

00:09:12.333 --> 00:09:16.250
Hmm, it's true.
At least we're all in the same boat.

00:09:16.333 --> 00:09:20.416
"Misery acquaints a man
with strange bedfellows."

00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:21.088
Oh, my God.

00:09:21.112 --> 00:09:22.583
That's from &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;The Tempest.

00:09:22.666 --> 00:09:26.541
Okay, one, shut up.
Two, I refuse to give up, okay?

00:09:26.625 --> 00:09:30.458
We're… We're still celebrities.
We still have power.

00:09:31.750 --> 00:09:34.166
Now, &lt;span style="style2"&gt;The Times
sort of castrated you as it were.

00:09:35.166 --> 00:09:38.416
Yep. They wrote you off
as aging narcissists.

00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:41.375
I still don't understand
what's wrong with that.

00:09:41.458 --> 00:09:45.625
There's a very simple way
that we can still love ourselves

00:09:45.708 --> 00:09:50.500
yet appear to be
decent human beings, okay?

00:09:50.583 --> 00:09:53.166
We will become celebrity activists.

00:09:53.250 --> 00:09:55.500
- Oh! Brilliant!
- Right?

00:09:55.583 --> 00:09:57.875
-All we need is a cause.
-A cause célèbre.

00:09:57.958 --> 00:10:00.375
Everybody think of some causes. Go.

00:10:00.458 --> 00:10:02.416
-Um, poverty?
-Too big.

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:03.750
World hunger.

00:10:03.833 --> 00:10:07.625
That is also a major thing.
No, we need something we can handle.

00:10:07.708 --> 00:10:11.166
Some little injustice
we can drive to. Recycling.

00:10:11.250 --> 00:10:13.541
- Let's see what's trending.
- Recycling's good.

00:10:13.625 --> 00:10:16.833
-Why are there so many award shows?
-Parking.

00:10:16.916 --> 00:10:20.000
- Or the TVs in the back of cabs.
- Oh! Oh, yeah, what about this girl?

00:10:20.875 --> 00:10:22.750
Oh, my gosh. Check this out.

00:10:22.833 --> 00:10:24.541
- What girl?
- It's all over Twitter.

00:10:26.125 --> 00:10:28.166
She's from Edgewater, Indiana.

00:10:29.166 --> 00:10:33.291
She's a lesbian. She wanted to take
her girlfriend to the high school prom,

00:10:33.375 --> 00:10:35.958
and the PTA went apeshit
and they canceled it.

00:10:36.041 --> 00:10:38.000
They canceled prom?

00:10:38.083 --> 00:10:40.125
-Are they allowed to do that?
-No.

00:10:40.208 --> 00:10:42.125
&lt;span style="style2"&gt;Principal
Hawkins, &lt;span style="style2"&gt;your response.

00:10:42.208 --> 00:10:45.000
The first thing I'm going to do
is contact the Indiana state's attorney.

00:10:45.083 --> 00:10:48.416 line:20%
This is not about school rules.
This is a civil rights case.

00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:49.583 line:20%
Wait, seriously?

00:10:49.666 --> 00:10:53.458 line:20%
I'm betting pressure from the state's
attorney will stop these bigots cold.

00:10:53.541 --> 00:10:55.541 line:20%
It better.
Because I'll tell you this much.

00:10:55.625 --> 00:10:58.000 line:20%
If word gets out,
people are gonna get mad.

00:10:58.083 --> 00:10:59.375 line:20%
This pisses me off.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:02.500 line:20%
The next thing you know,
some modern-day Eleanor Roosevelt

00:11:02.583 --> 00:11:05.375
is gonna march down here
and all hell's gonna break loose.

00:11:06.833 --> 00:11:09.791
We have got to go down there
and raise holy hell.

00:11:09.875 --> 00:11:12.333
We will be the biggest thing
to happen in Indiana

00:11:12.416 --> 00:11:14.625
since… whatever's happened in Indiana.

00:11:14.708 --> 00:11:17.708
-So this is it? This is our cause?
-Yes. Are you with me?

00:11:19.625 --> 00:11:21.166
-We'll have a rally!
-Yes!

00:11:21.250 --> 00:11:24.375
-We'll have picket signs!
-We'll make T-shirts.

00:11:24.458 --> 00:11:26.666
We'll get Sheldon to tag along.
He can find us a venue.

00:11:26.750 --> 00:11:28.208
Oh, wow!

00:11:28.291 --> 00:11:32.125
-Can we actually do this?
-You bet your sweet MILF ass we can!

00:11:36.541 --> 00:11:38.000
We are gonna prove…

00:12:32.541 --> 00:12:35.750
Okay, now we have got to get an anthem!

00:12:35.833 --> 00:12:38.375
-Like "We Are The World."
-Yes, but for lesbians.

00:12:38.458 --> 00:12:41.333
Steve Sondheim'll write us something.
He's a big fan of my Sweeney Todd.

00:12:41.416 --> 00:12:42.250
I'll handle this.

00:12:42.333 --> 00:12:44.291
Wait. How are we gonna get there?

00:12:44.375 --> 00:12:46.089
I just booked a
non-union tour of &lt;span

00:12:46.113 --> 00:12:48.916
style="style2"&gt;Godspell and it
goes straight through Indiana.

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:53.333
-You can come with us on the bus.
-See? It's all coming together!

00:13:40.833 --> 00:13:42.666
Now let's go start a fight.

00:13:56.916 --> 00:13:58.458
Do you like the bears?

00:13:59.083 --> 00:14:01.666
Yeah, you know,
I'm pretty sure this breaks a few laws.

00:14:01.750 --> 00:14:06.041
-It's our way of saying thank you, Emma.
-Yeah. Thanks for canceling prom.

00:14:06.125 --> 00:14:08.625
I didn't cancel prom. Your parents did.

00:14:08.708 --> 00:14:10.166
Come on. Lay off her.

00:14:10.250 --> 00:14:12.500
- Oh, are you on her side now?
- No.

00:14:12.583 --> 00:14:15.708
I'm just not in third grade.
See you at practice.

00:14:16.458 --> 00:14:19.291
Unlike your social life, this isn't over.

00:15:23.458 --> 00:15:27.833
Hey, Emma. Hey, who's this girl
you were gonna bring to the prom, anyway?

00:15:27.916 --> 00:15:30.125
I didn't know we had
more than one lesbo in town.

00:15:30.208 --> 00:15:33.458
-You don't know her. She's new here.
-Like an exchange student?

00:15:34.708 --> 00:15:35.958
Maybe.

00:15:36.041 --> 00:15:38.833
Well, then why don't you, like,
exchange her for a guy?

00:15:38.916 --> 00:15:40.541
Ooh! Dude! Nice!

00:16:36.750 --> 00:16:39.625
Okay. I just got off the phone
with the state's attorney.

00:16:39.708 --> 00:16:43.625
She thinks this is a civil rights issue.
This is a big deal, Emma.

00:16:43.708 --> 00:16:45.041
So, what are you saying?

00:16:45.125 --> 00:16:48.208
I'm just saying I'm really excited
to be a part of something like this.

00:16:48.291 --> 00:16:50.166
We'll see how the PTA meeting goes.

00:16:50.250 --> 00:16:52.791
Well, it's not gonna be fun.
We'll get through it.

00:16:52.875 --> 00:16:54.708
Just take a sec. Relax.

00:17:41.208 --> 00:17:43.416
-Blue one. Blue.
-This stop motion sickness?

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:44.916
Mmm-hmm, and everything else.

00:17:46.291 --> 00:17:48.000
Okay. Enough! Enough!

00:17:48.083 --> 00:17:50.833
Stop singing, stop!
You're making me hate God.

00:17:50.916 --> 00:17:53.416
- You're scaring them.
- They're scaring me.

00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:55.416
How about we do some trust exercises?

00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:57.833
Yeah? Good.

00:17:57.916 --> 00:18:02.833
Hotel is booked. Breakfast isn't included,
but there is a Waffle Shed next door.

00:18:02.916 --> 00:18:04.750
Sounds delicious.

00:18:04.833 --> 00:18:09.083
We're doing a great thing here.
We're being great people.

00:18:09.166 --> 00:18:10.958
This is all great.

00:18:12.083 --> 00:18:14.750
This is gonna get me my third Tony Award.

00:18:14.833 --> 00:18:17.083
- Oh, my God.
- What?

00:18:17.958 --> 00:18:22.000
Oh, come on, you know
how political the Tonys are.

00:18:22.083 --> 00:18:25.041
They don't vote for you.
They vote for your brand.

00:18:25.125 --> 00:18:28.208
My brand is
a little tarnished at the moment.

00:18:28.291 --> 00:18:30.708
'Cause of the infamous tirade
at the Longacre Theatre?

00:18:30.791 --> 00:18:34.083
When a cell phone goes off
in the middle of a performance…

00:18:34.166 --> 00:18:36.291
-I can't be held responsible.
-It was your cell phone!

00:18:36.375 --> 00:18:38.958
-I didn't know that!
-It was in your wig!

00:18:39.041 --> 00:18:41.375
I didn't know that at the time. Anyway…

00:18:42.041 --> 00:18:47.291
All the goodwill that we're gonna get
from this thing will wash me clean,

00:18:47.375 --> 00:18:51.333
and I will win, no matter what
my next project is.

00:18:51.416 --> 00:18:54.291
You're just greedy.
I'd be happy with one Tony.

00:18:54.375 --> 00:18:57.458
I thought I had a shot with FDR.

00:18:57.541 --> 00:18:59.208
I need a win.

00:18:59.291 --> 00:19:02.833
I'm so sick of all the rejection.
I'm no Dee Dee Allen.

00:19:02.916 --> 00:19:05.541
-A lot of bile.
-Well, I'm angry at life.

00:19:05.625 --> 00:19:07.958
No, I mean Trent. He's retching again.

00:19:08.625 --> 00:19:11.333
You were saying something about your…

00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.625
I got into this business,
yes, because I loved it,

00:19:14.708 --> 00:19:17.875
but also to prove
to everyone who doubted me,

00:19:17.958 --> 00:19:23.375
my… teachers, the kids
on the school bus, my horrible parents,

00:19:23.458 --> 00:19:26.000
that I could do something.
Something important.

00:19:26.625 --> 00:19:29.875
That's exactly what we are doing.

00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:32.208
Something important.

00:19:33.375 --> 00:19:35.416
I just hope we don't screw it up.

00:19:37.666 --> 00:19:38.958
Hit it.

00:19:51.833 --> 00:19:55.291
I'm sorry, you're telling us
that the state's attorney

00:19:55.375 --> 00:19:57.875
is forcing us to have a prom?

00:19:57.958 --> 00:20:01.875
No, the state's attorney
wants us to hold an inclusive prom.

00:20:01.958 --> 00:20:03.333
Yes.

00:20:03.416 --> 00:20:06.875
Because that's what they feel
best reflects America's values.

00:20:06.958 --> 00:20:10.208
Well, this isn't America. This is Indiana.

00:20:11.666 --> 00:20:12.708
All right.

00:20:16.208 --> 00:20:19.000
Just to be clear, this is America

00:20:19.083 --> 00:20:22.458
and everyone gets to have an opinion--
Oh, just like you.

00:20:27.041 --> 00:20:29.666
My son will not be forced
to go to a homosexual prom.

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.083
Thank you, Beverly! Thank you!

00:20:34.166 --> 00:20:37.666
Again, it is not a homosexual prom.
It is an inclusive prom…

00:20:37.750 --> 00:20:40.083
-With homosexuals.
-You don't have to attend--

00:20:40.625 --> 00:20:43.083
You don't have to attend
if you don't want to.

00:20:43.166 --> 00:20:46.833
Look… I… I'm sorry you're upset,

00:20:46.916 --> 00:20:51.125
but the organization of the prom is
within the purview of the student council.

00:20:51.208 --> 00:20:54.291
Let's hear what they have to say. Alyssa?

00:20:54.375 --> 00:20:56.916
Uh… Okay.

00:20:58.666 --> 00:21:01.833
Well, we want prom to go on, obviously.

00:21:04.125 --> 00:21:07.375
It's supposed to be
a celebration of all students--

00:21:07.458 --> 00:21:09.458
Okay. No, thank you. It's fine, everyone.

00:21:09.541 --> 00:21:14.208
Sweetheart, I'm so sorry,
but this is not a student matter.

00:21:14.291 --> 00:21:19.750
This is about government…
tearing our community apart.

00:21:20.750 --> 00:21:24.750
It's about big government
taking away our freedom of choice.

00:21:24.833 --> 00:21:26.208
Okay. Okay.

00:21:26.291 --> 00:21:29.083
This is not about government intervention.

00:21:29.166 --> 00:21:31.000
Emma, what is this about?

00:21:32.375 --> 00:21:34.583
I just want to go to prom
like any other kid.

00:21:34.666 --> 00:21:37.041
Mmm-hmm. But you can't.

00:21:37.125 --> 00:21:40.083
She can't, and that's why
the courts are involved.

00:21:40.166 --> 00:21:41.375
Ask yourself.

00:21:42.250 --> 00:21:46.125
What exactly is it that you find
so frightening about gay people?

00:21:46.208 --> 00:21:48.875
Hold it! Stop! Stop!

00:21:48.958 --> 00:21:50.125
Hold it!

00:21:50.208 --> 00:21:53.833
What you are doing here is wrong.

00:21:54.458 --> 00:21:56.416
I'm sorry. Who are you?

00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:59.250
Where is our girl? Where's Emma? Emma!

00:21:59.333 --> 00:22:00.708
I'm Emma.

00:22:00.791 --> 00:22:05.750
Emma, my name is Barry, and I'm here
to tell you that you are not alone.

00:22:05.833 --> 00:22:09.250
Okay? I am as gay as a bucket of wigs.

00:22:09.333 --> 00:22:11.416
A bucket of them!

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:14.583
And we are here from New York City
and we are gonna save you.

00:22:14.666 --> 00:22:16.333
Tomorrow, we will hold a rally.

00:22:16.416 --> 00:22:19.333
-There'll be banners and choreography.
-Excuse me.

00:22:19.416 --> 00:22:22.541
- Excuse me!
- Shame! Shame!

00:22:22.625 --> 00:22:25.125
Excuse me!

00:22:27.208 --> 00:22:30.416
What is going on? Who are you people?

00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:32.250
We are liberals from Broadway.

00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:34.625
Oh, shut up!

00:22:34.708 --> 00:22:38.458
We are here to open
your hearts and your minds.

00:22:38.541 --> 00:22:41.250
The five of us are gonna teach you…

00:22:41.833 --> 00:22:43.291
-Where's Dee Dee?
-You'll see.

00:22:44.833 --> 00:22:46.583
All right.

00:22:50.250 --> 00:22:52.708
Oh, my God. That's Dee Dee Allen.

00:24:18.625 --> 00:24:19.750
Sing it, Eleanor!

00:24:26.208 --> 00:24:28.250
Get them out of here now!

00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:50.125
No.

00:25:18.166 --> 00:25:19.166
That's cute.

00:26:42.666 --> 00:26:45.291
Who was responsible for that? Was it you?

00:26:45.375 --> 00:26:48.375
Me? No, I have no idea
what just happened in there.

00:26:48.458 --> 00:26:52.375
Strangers burst in hurling insults
at the parents, and you do nothing.

00:26:52.458 --> 00:26:54.791
What kind of school
are you running here, Mr. Hawkins?

00:27:01.333 --> 00:27:04.083
Excuse me, Miss Allen.
I'm Tom. Tom Hawkins.

00:27:04.166 --> 00:27:08.333
I am the principal and I just, um…
What are you doing?

00:27:08.416 --> 00:27:10.583
We have come to show this community

00:27:10.666 --> 00:27:14.208
that gay people
and gay-positive icons, such as myself,

00:27:14.291 --> 00:27:16.791
are made of the same
flesh and blood as they are.

00:27:17.833 --> 00:27:21.833
If they don't have gay people here,
why is my Scruff going crazy right now?

00:27:21.916 --> 00:27:23.333
We're not monsters.

00:27:24.083 --> 00:27:26.291
We're cultural disruptors.

00:27:27.250 --> 00:27:28.250
I'm a fan.

00:27:31.666 --> 00:27:35.083
- Really?
- Yeah. Yes, I am.

00:27:36.708 --> 00:27:41.583
What kind of a fan?
Big fan? Small fan? Scary stabby fan?

00:27:41.666 --> 00:27:44.125
You could say that I'm a big fan. Yes.

00:27:44.208 --> 00:27:48.916
Really? That's so surprising
because you're not my usual demographic.

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.000
-You mean Black?
-No, straight.

00:27:52.166 --> 00:27:54.041
You are straight, right?

00:27:54.125 --> 00:27:57.250
Yes. I am.
Straight people like Broadway too.

00:27:57.333 --> 00:28:01.208
I've heard that.
Always thought it was a fairy tale.

00:28:01.291 --> 00:28:05.500
- So to speak.
- So to speak. Well, it's true.

00:28:05.583 --> 00:28:07.541
Um, I've been a fan since I saw you

00:28:07.625 --> 00:28:09.541
in the show for which
you won your first Tony.

00:28:09.625 --> 00:28:11.832
No! You saw &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Swallow the Moon?

00:28:11.856 --> 00:28:12.583
I did.

00:28:12.666 --> 00:28:16.958
The number at the top of the second act,
"The Lady's Improving"? Chills.

00:28:17.041 --> 00:28:19.833
That song made me a star.

00:28:19.916 --> 00:28:21.375
It made me a fan.

00:28:21.458 --> 00:28:24.125
-Uh, Dee Dee, we gotta make haste.
-Okay.

00:28:24.208 --> 00:28:26.958
Uh, Miss Allen, I just…
This is a very delicate situation.

00:28:27.041 --> 00:28:29.958
I'm asking you and your friends
to back off for a few days.

00:28:30.458 --> 00:28:32.291
-Back off?
-Yeah.

00:28:32.916 --> 00:28:35.416
Backing off
is exactly what we're not going to do.

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:39.500
I see what's happening here.
You're trying to disarm me with flattery.

00:28:39.583 --> 00:28:43.666
It's not going to work, Tom.
Flattery makes me stronger.

00:28:43.750 --> 00:28:45.625
Fuels my ego.

00:29:03.625 --> 00:29:06.541
- That was insane.
- I know.

00:29:06.625 --> 00:29:08.958
-I'm really freaking out.
-Don't freak out.

00:29:09.041 --> 00:29:10.916
We have a plan, remember?

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:13.416
We're gonna get dressed up and go to prom

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:17.250
and be together in public,
not hide anymore.

00:29:17.875 --> 00:29:19.166
Are you sure about this?

00:29:19.958 --> 00:29:22.250
There's only one thing I'm sure about.

00:31:22.833 --> 00:31:25.250
It's my mom. I gotta go.

00:31:26.083 --> 00:31:27.083
Okay.

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:29.833
Bye…

00:31:54.750 --> 00:31:56.541
Oh, God.

00:31:58.791 --> 00:32:00.416
It's worse than the bus.

00:32:01.125 --> 00:32:03.458
At least it's quieter. Huh?

00:32:04.041 --> 00:32:06.333
I need a drink.

00:32:06.416 --> 00:32:08.125
Hello?

00:32:09.958 --> 00:32:13.458
Oh. Dickinson, four rooms.
I called yesterday.

00:32:13.541 --> 00:32:15.625
Four rooms of varying size

00:32:15.708 --> 00:32:18.500
to reflect the hierarchy
of the company, right?

00:32:19.541 --> 00:32:21.083
Where is my suite?

00:32:21.750 --> 00:32:23.250
We don't have a suite.

00:32:28.083 --> 00:32:30.166
Now do you have a suite?

00:32:30.916 --> 00:32:34.166
No, we don't have any suites.
All the rooms are the same.

00:32:36.500 --> 00:32:37.958
Surely you know who I am.

00:32:38.041 --> 00:32:41.291
At the very least,
I would like a room next to the spa.

00:32:41.375 --> 00:32:43.166
Uh, there's no spa.

00:32:43.750 --> 00:32:46.958
Angie, what is this place?
We're all gonna get stabbed and stuffed.

00:32:47.041 --> 00:32:49.583
-You know that, right?
-Orbitz gave it three stars!

00:32:51.750 --> 00:32:54.041
Do you have any cabins?

00:32:54.666 --> 00:32:56.375
No, we don't have any cabins.

00:33:04.958 --> 00:33:07.416
- How about now?
- What is that?

00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:09.750
It's a Drama Desk. You know what it is.

00:33:10.416 --> 00:33:13.208
I vomited in the bus again.

00:33:13.291 --> 00:33:15.125
Can I see the hotel doctor, please?

00:33:15.208 --> 00:33:16.958
Oh, my God, it's you.

00:33:17.041 --> 00:33:19.541
I can't believe it. It's actually you.

00:33:19.625 --> 00:33:21.605
You're the guy from &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Talk to the Hand.

00:33:21.629 --> 00:33:22.875
It's on every
night at 9:00 after--

00:33:22.958 --> 00:33:26.541
-Can I have my room, please?
-Okay, let's get started. All right?

00:33:26.625 --> 00:33:28.750
- Let's change some minds.
- Uh…

00:33:28.833 --> 00:33:29.958
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

00:33:30.041 --> 00:33:32.458
Oh! A wishing well!

00:33:32.541 --> 00:33:34.333
Make a wish, Dee Dee.

00:33:34.416 --> 00:33:36.041
Death. I wish for death.

00:33:36.125 --> 00:33:40.041
Okay, Sheldon's working on a venue.
Now, how's the song?

00:33:40.125 --> 00:33:44.833
Uh, about that.
I was misled by my representation.

00:33:44.916 --> 00:33:48.625
Mr. Sondheim is not a fan
of my Sweeney Todd.

00:33:48.708 --> 00:33:51.208
- Quite the opposite, actually.
- Oh, my God…

00:33:51.291 --> 00:33:54.125
Jesus, Trent, you screwed us.

00:33:54.208 --> 00:33:58.625
Don't worry.
I wrote something myself. Yeah.

00:34:00.833 --> 00:34:02.958
It's quite rousing,

00:34:03.041 --> 00:34:05.958
and in a very humane key.

00:34:06.041 --> 00:34:08.375
The &lt;span style="style2"&gt;Godspell
kids will back us up,

00:34:08.458 --> 00:34:11.625
and they have their own costumes.
You're welcome.

00:34:13.208 --> 00:34:16.166
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah!

00:34:16.250 --> 00:34:18.125
This is awful.

00:34:18.208 --> 00:34:20.500
We can't perform this.
They'll boo us off the stage.

00:34:20.583 --> 00:34:24.041
No, all we need is a simple message
that tugs at the heartstrings

00:34:24.125 --> 00:34:25.333
and a little pageantry.

00:34:25.416 --> 00:34:28.625
-We have everything we need right here.
-Except a venue.

00:34:28.708 --> 00:34:30.666
O ye of little faith.

00:34:31.250 --> 00:34:35.375
I got one!
And a crowd of 2,500 guaranteed.

00:34:35.458 --> 00:34:38.083
-What?
-That's amazing!

00:34:38.166 --> 00:34:40.541
What is it? One of those
beautiful Antebellum theaters?

00:34:40.625 --> 00:34:42.458
No, it's, uh…

00:34:43.208 --> 00:34:44.208
an arena.

00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:47.500
An arena?

00:35:03.458 --> 00:35:05.291
So it's come to this.

00:35:15.958 --> 00:35:17.666
&lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Ladies and gentlemen,

00:35:18.500 --> 00:35:22.291
Truckosaurus,
the car-eating robot dinosaur,

00:35:22.375 --> 00:35:25.333
will not be your
half-time entertainment today.

00:35:25.416 --> 00:35:28.458
Instead, we have some guests
who've come from New York

00:35:28.541 --> 00:35:30.666
to sing us a song about intolerance.

00:35:30.750 --> 00:35:32.250
Hi there.

00:35:32.333 --> 00:35:36.208
I'm Trent Oliver, actor, activist…

00:35:37.125 --> 00:35:38.875
and Juilliard graduate.

00:35:38.958 --> 00:35:41.625
Emma, this one's for you.

00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:41.542
&lt;span style="style2"&gt;Ladies
and gentlemen, two-time

00:36:41.566 --> 00:36:43.541
&lt;span style="style2"&gt;Tony Award winner,
Miss Dee Dee Allen.

00:36:43.625 --> 00:36:47.000
-Trent, I could rip your face off.
-I'm sorry.

00:36:47.083 --> 00:36:49.833
You made me fail.
I am so sick of failing.

00:36:49.916 --> 00:36:51.250
What do we do now?

00:36:51.333 --> 00:36:52.375
We leave.

00:36:52.958 --> 00:36:56.291
-First we kill Trent, then we leave.
-What about the girl?

00:36:56.375 --> 00:36:58.583
Hello, everyone…

00:36:59.791 --> 00:37:03.458
We have some news. Emma and I
wanted to be the ones to tell you,

00:37:03.541 --> 00:37:07.750
thanks to pressure from the state's
attorney's office, prom is back on!

00:37:07.833 --> 00:37:09.708
- What?
- Prom is back on!

00:37:09.791 --> 00:37:11.666
We did it!

00:37:11.750 --> 00:37:12.625
Yay!

00:37:12.708 --> 00:37:16.041
See? We're not narcissists.

00:37:16.125 --> 00:37:18.416
Just to be clear, uh,
it's not because of you…

00:37:18.500 --> 00:37:19.708
Well, maybe it was.

00:37:19.791 --> 00:37:23.000
I mean, everybody started freaking out
when you got here.

00:37:23.083 --> 00:37:26.791
The lawyer might've had legal power,
but you really scared people.

00:37:26.875 --> 00:37:28.208
- Aw!
- We scared people!

00:37:28.291 --> 00:37:29.958
Important thing is, it's a victory.

00:37:30.041 --> 00:37:31.916
Now you get to go to prom
like everybody else!

00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:34.125
- Yes!
- What are you gonna wear?

00:37:34.208 --> 00:37:38.041
I was thinking like a vintage tux
and some high tops.

00:37:38.125 --> 00:37:40.083
I don't know. Does it matter?

00:37:41.750 --> 00:37:42.750
Does it…

00:37:45.875 --> 00:37:49.166
-Honey…
-Sweetheart, boo-boo.

00:37:49.250 --> 00:37:51.625
I don't know you, okay?
And you don't know me,

00:37:51.708 --> 00:37:56.083
but I am begging you,
let me dress you for the prom.

00:37:56.166 --> 00:37:57.750
-Okay? Yeah?
-Okay.

00:37:57.833 --> 00:37:59.625
We're going to Saks.

00:37:59.708 --> 00:38:02.166
-Uh, there's no Saks here.
-We have a Kmart!

00:38:02.250 --> 00:38:03.958
-A what?
-A Kmart.

00:38:06.208 --> 00:38:08.208
Fine.

00:38:09.166 --> 00:38:11.791
We'll check out
the Reba McEntire collection at Kmart,

00:38:11.875 --> 00:38:12.916
do a little fashion show.

00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:16.625
Okay! Oh, can we do it tomorrow?
We can meet at my place.

00:38:16.708 --> 00:38:18.875
I have to go and find out
if I still have a date.

00:38:18.958 --> 00:38:20.875
Sure. I'll go ahead, do a pre-shop.

00:38:20.958 --> 00:38:23.458
Okay? Will you give me a ride
in your pickup truck?

00:38:23.541 --> 00:38:26.166
Are you saying that because I'm a lesbian,
I drive a pickup?

00:38:26.250 --> 00:38:28.708
- Well, do you?
- Shut up.

00:38:28.791 --> 00:38:30.791
- Anybody hungry?
- I could drink.

00:38:30.875 --> 00:38:33.916
- What's around here?
- I saw a Big Boy by the highway.

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.208
- Ooh, they have a gay bar here?
- I love Big Boy.

00:38:37.291 --> 00:38:40.625
Oh, gay bar. Can't go. I'd be mobbed.

00:38:40.708 --> 00:38:42.208
Oh! Of course.

00:38:46.541 --> 00:38:49.166
-So, it's nice to see Emma smile again.
-Yes.

00:38:49.250 --> 00:38:50.875
She's had a rough go of it.

00:38:50.958 --> 00:38:53.416
I gathered that. Yeah.

00:38:53.500 --> 00:38:56.166
Even before the prom controversy.

00:38:56.250 --> 00:39:00.375
When she came out, her parents,
well, they threw her out of the house.

00:39:01.750 --> 00:39:04.916
-Really?
-Yeah. Yeah. She was 16.

00:39:05.541 --> 00:39:07.458
-It was, uh, pretty ugly.
-Oh…

00:39:10.333 --> 00:39:12.000
Anyway, um…

00:39:12.916 --> 00:39:14.458
thank you for helping her…

00:39:15.625 --> 00:39:18.166
Or trying to.

00:39:18.958 --> 00:39:20.125
Yeah…

00:39:23.833 --> 00:39:25.791
-Uh, Tom?
-Yes, yeah?

00:39:26.583 --> 00:39:31.000
Is there a restaurant in town
that has plates and cutlery and…

00:39:31.083 --> 00:39:33.833
Oh, uh, there's an Applebee's by the mall.

00:39:37.583 --> 00:39:39.000
-Would you like to go?
-Yes.

00:39:39.083 --> 00:39:42.666
Take me now to this
Apples &amp; Bees place.

00:39:42.750 --> 00:39:43.666
All right.

00:39:43.750 --> 00:39:45.416
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

00:39:45.500 --> 00:39:46.750
How nice of you.

00:39:49.833 --> 00:39:52.000
-Guess what today is?
-What?

00:39:52.083 --> 00:39:53.541
Promposal day!

00:39:53.625 --> 00:39:54.625
Hey, Kaylee!

00:40:34.250 --> 00:40:36.750
- You're such an idiot. Yes!
- Whoo!

00:40:37.916 --> 00:40:39.500
Hey, Shelby, you're next.

00:41:14.791 --> 00:41:16.416
Sí! Sí, señor!

00:41:22.541 --> 00:41:25.666
You did it.
No, you actually did it.

00:41:25.750 --> 00:41:27.583
We have a prom because of you.

00:41:27.666 --> 00:41:31.375
It's like a love bomb went off.
I've seen six promposals today.

00:41:31.458 --> 00:41:34.708
People are gonna see us
dancing together and kissing.

00:41:34.791 --> 00:41:37.125
It's gonna be impossible not to kiss you.

00:41:37.708 --> 00:41:41.041
Oh, my God, and you know,
what's my mom going to think?

00:41:41.125 --> 00:41:44.000
I mean, she'll be in public,
so she can't totally freak out.

00:41:44.083 --> 00:41:48.291
It doesn't matter what she does.
This is about us.

00:41:48.875 --> 00:41:52.208
This is about us finally being us.

00:42:29.583 --> 00:42:32.625
I save all of my money.
I go to New York every summer.

00:42:32.708 --> 00:42:34.958
I see as many Broadway shows as I can.

00:42:35.041 --> 00:42:37.041
When I run out of money,
I second act them.

00:42:37.125 --> 00:42:38.833
Don't tell anybody.

00:42:38.916 --> 00:42:40.666
Bad!

00:42:41.458 --> 00:42:44.916
My point is,
I've seen you many, many times.

00:42:46.291 --> 00:42:47.916
Mr. Hawkins.

00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:50.291
Mrs. Greene.

00:42:50.375 --> 00:42:52.041
Hello. I'm Dee Dee Allen.

00:42:52.125 --> 00:42:53.875
-We haven't officially met.
-No.

00:42:53.958 --> 00:42:56.250
-Hello. Dee Dee Allen.
-We're aware.

00:42:57.833 --> 00:43:03.083
Ms. Allen, I'm sure that you are
very well-versed in the ways of the world

00:43:03.166 --> 00:43:06.125
and Broadway in particular.
That's a community.

00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:11.000
But you don't know us.
You don't know this town and our values.

00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:15.625
No, well, I'm just here
advocating on behalf of a young girl

00:43:15.708 --> 00:43:20.333
whose voice perhaps is not heard
by some in the community.

00:43:20.916 --> 00:43:26.458
Yes. Well, perhaps you should stick
to acting instead of activism.

00:43:28.500 --> 00:43:29.708
Enjoy your meal.

00:43:34.708 --> 00:43:37.291
We didn't mean
to make anything worse here.

00:43:37.375 --> 00:43:39.250
I appreciate everything that you're doing.

00:43:40.583 --> 00:43:42.125
Well, let's just drop it.

00:43:42.208 --> 00:43:43.041
Yeah.

00:43:43.875 --> 00:43:45.458
Tell me…

00:43:46.083 --> 00:43:48.333
I've never said this before to anyone.

00:43:49.375 --> 00:43:50.791
Tell me about you.

00:43:52.125 --> 00:43:54.000
-About me?
-Yeah.

00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:58.958
I don't know.
I'm just a small-town principal.

00:43:59.833 --> 00:44:05.083
Uh, you know, it can be frustrating,
but, uh, at least I have a job.

00:44:05.166 --> 00:44:06.458
Yeah, lucky you.

00:44:06.541 --> 00:44:07.416
Single.

00:44:08.708 --> 00:44:09.541
Sorry?

00:44:10.250 --> 00:44:12.500
I'm single. Just putting that out there.

00:44:13.083 --> 00:44:14.833
Really?

00:44:16.416 --> 00:44:18.625
I'm surprised.

00:44:18.708 --> 00:44:21.000
Oh, well, I'm surprised you're surprised.

00:44:21.083 --> 00:44:23.625
The two things
I'm most passionate about in the world

00:44:23.708 --> 00:44:26.291
are Broadway musicals
and secondary school administration.

00:44:27.375 --> 00:44:31.958
I typed that into a dating website once,
and a little message popped up that said,

00:44:32.041 --> 00:44:34.125
"You will have zero matches forever."

00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:40.791
But you're so smart
and you're really good-looking.

00:44:40.875 --> 00:44:42.250
Well, if I…

00:44:43.041 --> 00:44:44.125
Thank you.

00:44:45.375 --> 00:44:47.791
It's just, I look at people like you,

00:44:48.500 --> 00:44:52.333
and I just think how lucky you are
to be surrounded by your people.

00:44:52.416 --> 00:44:54.291
My wh-- My people?

00:44:54.375 --> 00:44:57.250
I wasn't born on Broadway. You know?

00:44:58.333 --> 00:45:00.625
I'm from Zelienople, Pennsylvania.

00:45:01.333 --> 00:45:03.333
Yeah, I grew up dirt poor.

00:45:05.750 --> 00:45:08.333
This whole…

00:45:09.041 --> 00:45:11.583
All this, I invented it.

00:45:12.166 --> 00:45:15.291
Yeah. I'm just a small-town girl and…

00:45:17.125 --> 00:45:19.000
I had a big dream.

00:45:22.500 --> 00:45:25.041
Single, just putting it out there.

00:45:28.125 --> 00:45:30.333
Well, I'm divorced.

00:45:30.416 --> 00:45:33.208
Oh, I think I read about that.
Eddie Sharpe, the talk show host?

00:45:33.291 --> 00:45:34.958
Yeah, right.

00:45:35.041 --> 00:45:39.125
It lasted 15 heart-pulverizing years.

00:45:42.291 --> 00:45:46.375
I imagine it must be hard being
Dee Dee Allen, being a Broadway star.

00:45:46.458 --> 00:45:49.041
You know, it is hard.

00:45:50.625 --> 00:45:53.000
Sometimes I think I really…
I just want to quit.

00:45:53.083 --> 00:45:56.666
No. No, please, you can't--
You can't do that.

00:45:56.750 --> 00:45:58.208
Why not?

00:45:58.791 --> 00:46:00.958
Because I need you to do what you do.

00:46:30.083 --> 00:46:33.208
So, theater's a distraction.
Is that what you mean?

00:46:33.291 --> 00:46:37.083
A distraction is momentary.
An escape helps you heal.

00:47:54.291 --> 00:47:57.583
You make it sound so beautiful.

00:48:49.708 --> 00:48:52.625
-That's a nice picture.
-Oh, it's terrible.

00:48:53.166 --> 00:48:57.000
Look at the backdrop.
Clouds? What, are we flying?

00:48:57.083 --> 00:48:58.166
It's sweet.

00:48:58.916 --> 00:49:00.000
Well…

00:49:00.875 --> 00:49:04.250
you know, she needed proof
she was still part of the family,

00:49:04.333 --> 00:49:07.750
and nothing says family
like a Sears family portrait.

00:49:08.583 --> 00:49:11.458
-Is there booze in this?
-There sure is.

00:49:11.541 --> 00:49:14.500
- When you said lemonade…
- Well, it's Indiana lemonade.

00:49:14.583 --> 00:49:18.541
Okay, it's official. I love you.
You're the cool grandmother I never had.

00:49:19.375 --> 00:49:23.041
Hey, let me ask you something.
What happened with Emma?

00:49:25.750 --> 00:49:27.833
You're not a mother,
so you can't know what it's like

00:49:27.916 --> 00:49:30.375
to see your own daughter
give up her child.

00:49:30.458 --> 00:49:31.791
I'm sorry.

00:49:31.875 --> 00:49:36.000
When Emma came out,
oh, they could not handle it.

00:49:39.041 --> 00:49:41.625
To bad parents and their broken progeny.

00:49:42.875 --> 00:49:45.708
Although Emma is fine. She's a strong kid.

00:49:47.208 --> 00:49:48.958
Oh, I wasn't talking about her.

00:49:50.625 --> 00:49:52.875
What? You got kicked out too?

00:49:53.708 --> 00:49:56.125
Well, I left before they could do that.

00:49:59.166 --> 00:50:02.708
So the only
nice dress I have is this.

00:50:02.791 --> 00:50:03.666
Wow.

00:50:04.666 --> 00:50:08.375
Okay, I mean, yeah, yep,
you could wear that to prom

00:50:08.458 --> 00:50:09.583
or keep it lying around

00:50:09.666 --> 00:50:12.083
in case there's a remake of &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Little House on the Prairie.

00:50:12.166 --> 00:50:14.875
Okay. That's it. I like him.

00:50:14.958 --> 00:50:17.458
Emma, please let me
dress you for this prom.

00:50:17.541 --> 00:50:22.500
I don't know. This is all so crazy.
What did you wear to your prom?

00:50:22.583 --> 00:50:25.916
Well, I was going to wear a silver tux,

00:50:26.541 --> 00:50:29.333
aqua accessories, the whole look.

00:50:29.416 --> 00:50:32.500
I waited outside, anxious to see my crush,

00:50:32.583 --> 00:50:35.333
but when I saw him with his date, I froze.

00:50:36.083 --> 00:50:37.416
I couldn't go in.

00:50:38.291 --> 00:50:40.291
I didn't have your courage.

00:50:41.291 --> 00:50:42.666
This isn't about me.

00:50:43.708 --> 00:50:45.041
This is about you.

00:50:45.125 --> 00:50:48.625
And I promise you are going
to have the night of your life.

00:50:49.166 --> 00:50:50.500
What is your date wearing?

00:50:51.750 --> 00:50:52.750
I don't know.

00:50:54.333 --> 00:50:56.583
I've never been to her house before.

00:50:57.291 --> 00:50:58.916
Her mom doesn't know about us.

00:50:59.625 --> 00:51:01.083
How long have you been together?

00:51:01.916 --> 00:51:03.541
-A year and a half.
-Oh, honey.

00:51:03.625 --> 00:51:07.250
But she's coming out tonight, big time.
That's the plan.

00:51:09.208 --> 00:51:10.583
I'm really scared.

00:51:11.750 --> 00:51:13.166
Would you get over here?

00:51:13.916 --> 00:51:17.708
The point is you are brave.

00:51:17.791 --> 00:51:19.875
You made all this happen.

00:51:19.958 --> 00:51:23.041
When you walk into that gym tonight,
you know what people are gonna see?

00:51:23.125 --> 00:51:25.875
They're going to see
the bravest person on the planet.

00:51:25.958 --> 00:51:29.625
This is so hard.
Does every girl go through this?

00:51:29.708 --> 00:51:31.625
Yes, all across town,

00:51:31.708 --> 00:51:35.125
girls are spraying on their tans
and whitening their teeth,

00:51:35.208 --> 00:51:38.791
trying to look their best for the prom,
but they're wasting their time

00:51:38.875 --> 00:51:42.500
because they don't have the glow
that you have right now.

00:51:43.916 --> 00:51:47.375
I trust you completely,
and that's kind of scary too.

00:51:47.458 --> 00:51:50.041
Can we please go shop? Can we mall it?

00:51:50.791 --> 00:51:53.708
-Is that okay?
-Yes, mall the hell out of it!

00:51:53.791 --> 00:51:55.333
-Let's go.
-Okay!

00:51:55.416 --> 00:51:57.708
But get changed. This is disgusting.

00:52:25.125 --> 00:52:26.625
I think I'll pass.

00:53:13.375 --> 00:53:14.208
It fits!

00:53:14.916 --> 00:53:17.958
Now, whatever we choose,
you've gotta remember to sell it.

00:53:18.041 --> 00:53:19.291
How do I do that?

00:53:19.375 --> 00:53:21.583
Allow Miss Glickman to demonstrate.

00:53:46.041 --> 00:53:46.875
Come on!

00:54:03.666 --> 00:54:04.833
Yes, ma'am!

00:54:09.250 --> 00:54:10.250
What?

00:54:14.208 --> 00:54:16.791
Oh, God,
I can't believe this is finally happening.

00:54:16.875 --> 00:54:19.458
I know.
She almost ruined it for all of us.

00:54:19.541 --> 00:54:21.666
Well, what goes around comes around.

00:54:21.750 --> 00:54:24.541
-You look hot.
-You look so hot.

00:55:16.666 --> 00:55:19.583
Alyssa, you look so beautiful.

00:55:19.666 --> 00:55:22.291
You should always
wear your hair like this.

00:55:22.375 --> 00:55:23.708
-Mom.
-Yeah?

00:55:23.791 --> 00:55:26.125
I just want you to know
what's gonna happen tonight.

00:55:26.208 --> 00:55:28.541
No. Can we not spoil this, please?

00:55:28.625 --> 00:55:32.416
I have worked so hard for tonight.
I have a right to enjoy it too.

00:55:33.000 --> 00:55:36.416
You are going to have
a wonderful prom like a normal girl.

00:55:36.500 --> 00:55:40.208
-I've made sure of that.
-What is that supposed to mean?

00:57:22.666 --> 00:57:25.333
Wait there.
I'll get the door. Okay? Okay.

00:57:26.750 --> 00:57:28.958
-Are you ready?
-We're ready. We can't wait.

00:57:29.041 --> 00:57:32.166
-Here, hold this. I wanna get the picture.
-Okay. here we go.

00:57:32.250 --> 00:57:34.166
- Wow.
- Oh, my God!

00:57:34.250 --> 00:57:36.833
Look at you!

00:57:36.916 --> 00:57:38.208
You look amazing!

00:57:38.291 --> 00:57:40.291
Are you sure it's not too girly?

00:57:40.375 --> 00:57:44.625
Aw. No, it's just
the right amount of girly.

00:57:45.416 --> 00:57:47.041
-You did well.
-Right?

00:57:47.541 --> 00:57:48.625
Hey, where's your date?

00:57:48.708 --> 00:57:52.166
We're meeting in the gym.
She's still a little shy about all this.

00:57:53.291 --> 00:57:55.791
Well, this is where we leave you.

00:57:55.875 --> 00:57:57.833
Our work here is done.

00:57:58.958 --> 00:58:01.541
You go. You have the time of your life.

00:58:01.625 --> 00:58:04.208
Can you walk me in? I'm a little nervous.

00:58:04.958 --> 00:58:08.041
Of course. Hey, hold on tight.

00:58:08.125 --> 00:58:09.083
-Ready?
-Yep.

00:58:09.166 --> 00:58:11.166
-Clutch in this hand.
-Oh, sorry!

00:58:11.250 --> 00:58:12.083
Aw.

00:58:12.625 --> 00:58:13.625
Come on.

00:58:13.708 --> 00:58:15.916
- Who wants punch?
- Only if it's spiked.

00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:19.500
The walk away. The cute little truck.

00:58:29.458 --> 00:58:31.166
- We're doin' it!
- Go ahead.

00:58:39.083 --> 00:58:40.208
What's going on?

00:58:40.291 --> 00:58:42.125
I'm putting the pieces together.
Gimme a sec.

00:58:42.208 --> 00:58:45.083
- What is happening?
- Where is everybody?

00:58:45.166 --> 00:58:49.833
Something is really wrong.
The whole parking lot is completely empty.

00:58:49.916 --> 00:58:52.708
God. What's the theme
of this prom? Death row?

00:58:52.791 --> 00:58:55.833
Mr. Hawkins, where are all the kids?
I don't understand.

00:58:56.416 --> 00:58:58.500
Mom, what's happening?
Why aren't we at the gym?

00:58:58.583 --> 00:59:02.416
At the last minute, there was a problem,
so we had to change venues.

00:59:02.500 --> 00:59:04.375
No, Mom, what's going on?

00:59:04.458 --> 00:59:07.083
The courts told the PTA
they had to hold an inclusive prom.

00:59:07.166 --> 00:59:11.041
Don't worry. It's fine.
We did what we were required to do.

00:59:11.125 --> 00:59:12.500
There was some resistance.

00:59:12.583 --> 00:59:17.583
So the parents met without my knowledge,
and they've organized two proms.

00:59:17.666 --> 00:59:20.333
One for the kids
at the Elks Lodge in town.

00:59:20.416 --> 00:59:22.750
And this one just for you.

00:59:22.833 --> 00:59:25.541
-We gave her a prom.
-You did what?

00:59:25.625 --> 00:59:27.416
Wait, no, no.

00:59:27.500 --> 00:59:31.083
I got texts from kids at school.
Everybody said it was here.

00:59:31.166 --> 00:59:34.375
And they were lying to you.
It was part of the plan.

00:59:34.458 --> 00:59:36.666
-You lied to me.
-Oh, yeah? Who's the liar?

00:59:36.750 --> 00:59:40.125
We know about you and Emma,
and trust me, we're doing you a favor.

00:59:42.625 --> 00:59:43.458
No.

00:59:43.541 --> 00:59:47.333
-Oh, my God. This is so cruel.
-I'm gonna cry.

00:59:47.416 --> 00:59:50.125
Okay, honey. Look at me.

00:59:50.208 --> 00:59:51.291
-Angie.
-Yeah.

00:59:51.375 --> 00:59:53.375
-I want to go home.
-I know you do.

00:59:53.458 --> 00:59:57.083
-This isn't happening.
-And you got us, and this is awful.

00:59:57.166 --> 00:59:59.125
-No, no.
-Honey.

01:00:50.041 --> 01:00:52.458
-Alyssa?
-I swear I had no idea.

01:00:52.541 --> 01:00:55.250
How could you not know?
You were on the prom committee.

01:00:55.333 --> 01:00:57.125
It was Shelby and Kaylee.

01:00:57.208 --> 01:01:01.041
They figured out we were together
and they made sure I didn't find out.

01:01:01.125 --> 01:01:03.625
-They didn't want me to tell you.
-Then come meet me.

01:01:04.625 --> 01:01:05.583
I can't.

01:01:05.666 --> 01:01:07.458
Look, my mother's here.

01:01:07.541 --> 01:01:11.000
Well, leave her.
Tell her you're gay!

01:01:11.083 --> 01:01:13.958
Tell her we're in love.
That was the plan, wasn't it?

01:01:14.791 --> 01:01:16.125
I'm really sorry.

01:01:17.833 --> 01:01:20.250
Have fun at the normal person's prom.

01:01:20.333 --> 01:01:21.916
Wait. Emma.

01:01:22.583 --> 01:01:23.458
Emma!

01:01:27.583 --> 01:01:31.833
Okay. Here's what we're gonna do.
We are going to that prom, okay?

01:01:31.916 --> 01:01:34.541
They can't stop us.
We will march into that room--

01:01:34.625 --> 01:01:37.625
No! No, enough.

01:01:38.458 --> 01:01:40.791
This is already
the worst night of my life.

01:01:40.875 --> 01:01:43.666
Please, just stop helping me.

01:01:48.625 --> 01:01:50.458
Emma! Emma!

01:01:52.208 --> 01:01:55.625
This is a complete disaster.

01:01:55.708 --> 01:01:57.500
This is a PR problem.

01:01:57.583 --> 01:02:02.541
No, Sheldon.
We had a PR problem back in New York.

01:02:03.250 --> 01:02:05.208
This was supposed to solve that.

01:02:06.208 --> 01:02:07.250
But this…

01:02:08.166 --> 01:02:10.541
This is heartbreaking.

01:02:10.625 --> 01:02:14.833
This is why you came here? For publicity?

01:02:32.916 --> 01:02:35.375
I have been asked
to read a statement.

01:02:35.458 --> 01:02:40.125
"What happened here
was not the result of some elaborate plan

01:02:40.208 --> 01:02:44.708
to humiliate this girl,
as has been reported in the press."

01:02:44.791 --> 01:02:48.375
"The James Madison High School
Parent-Teacher Association

01:02:48.458 --> 01:02:51.333
felt Emma would not be safe

01:02:51.416 --> 01:02:54.750
if we allowed her
to attend prom with the other students

01:02:54.833 --> 01:02:57.166
because the uncomfortable truth

01:02:57.250 --> 01:03:03.041
is there are people in our community
who are offended by her life choices."

01:03:04.166 --> 01:03:08.083
I can't even wrap my head around this.
It's a nightmare. Oh, my God!

01:03:09.416 --> 01:03:11.750
I wanna be the cockeyed optimist here

01:03:11.833 --> 01:03:14.166
'cause I played Nellie Forbush
in &lt;span style="style2"&gt;South Pacific.

01:03:14.250 --> 01:03:16.458
It was a dinner theater production, but…

01:03:19.041 --> 01:03:21.416
This is horrible. It really is.

01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:24.916
Thanks for hanging out with me
these past couple of days.

01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:26.375
You've been a good friend.

01:03:27.041 --> 01:03:31.291
-I have?
-You have. You seem surprised.

01:03:31.375 --> 01:03:33.000
No, I just…

01:03:34.458 --> 01:03:37.375
I'm a chorus girl. You know, I just…

01:03:39.708 --> 01:03:43.041
No one ever thanks me.
They don't even see me.

01:03:45.166 --> 01:03:47.875
Spend my whole life
trying to stay in the game,

01:03:49.541 --> 01:03:51.375
and keep my day-drinking under control.

01:03:52.958 --> 01:03:55.166
That's really nice. Thanks, kid.

01:03:57.583 --> 01:04:01.375
Hey, you're going to get through this.
I know it.

01:04:04.250 --> 01:04:08.125
I thought that when my parents
rejected me and stopped loving me

01:04:08.208 --> 01:04:10.291
that I would never feel any worse,
you know?

01:04:11.916 --> 01:04:13.416
And now this…

01:04:15.250 --> 01:04:16.458
And I feel worse.

01:04:16.541 --> 01:04:19.875
-Honey…
-I've never felt so alone in my life.

01:04:19.958 --> 01:04:23.208
But you're not alone. You're not.

01:04:23.291 --> 01:04:25.041
You got me. Hmm?

01:04:25.625 --> 01:04:29.666
And we are ride-or-die,
and you do have friends.

01:04:30.666 --> 01:04:31.708
Where are they?

01:04:37.708 --> 01:04:39.291
- This is it.
- Yes.

01:04:39.375 --> 01:04:40.750
-No.
-Well, okay.

01:04:47.958 --> 01:04:50.125
-Emma, can we come in?
-Yes.

01:04:50.208 --> 01:04:52.708
- We brought Häagen-Dazs.
- That's fancy ice cream.

01:04:52.791 --> 01:04:55.666
I know what Häagen-Dazs is. Hand it over.

01:04:55.750 --> 01:04:58.500
Emma, I know you said
you didn't want us to help anymore,

01:04:58.583 --> 01:05:02.291
but we cannot let them get away with this.
We have got to fight back.

01:05:02.375 --> 01:05:04.583
Okay, I know everybody's really angry.

01:05:05.625 --> 01:05:09.083
But I think we have to admit
that we have made things worse.

01:05:09.166 --> 01:05:13.666
I think the best thing we can do
is disinfect our things and go back home.

01:05:13.750 --> 01:05:15.500
-No, we are not leaving.
-No!

01:05:15.583 --> 01:05:19.958
Dee Dee, we are gonna stay here,
and we're going to turn this thing around.

01:05:20.041 --> 01:05:22.250
- We gotta take back the press.
- Yes, how?

01:05:22.333 --> 01:05:26.000
Emma, you've got to step up
and be the face of this thing.

01:05:26.083 --> 01:05:27.750
And that's going to get her a prom?

01:05:27.833 --> 01:05:31.541
This is not about a prom anymore.
This is about right and wrong.

01:05:31.625 --> 01:05:34.375
We need a national audience, prime time.

01:05:34.458 --> 01:05:37.500
You want a big audience fast?
We gotta use our ace in the hole.

01:05:38.875 --> 01:05:41.125
-One call to Eddie Sharpe is all we need.
-No. No.

01:05:41.208 --> 01:05:42.416
- Dee Dee!
- He's right.

01:05:42.500 --> 01:05:45.541
If I ask him for something,
he will want something in return,

01:05:45.625 --> 01:05:47.375
and what he will want
is the Hamptons house.

01:05:47.458 --> 01:05:48.958
He's been trying to get it for years.

01:05:49.833 --> 01:05:53.541
Okay. Okay, fine. Look, Sheldon,
you got to get that girl on TV.

01:05:53.625 --> 01:05:55.000
-Okay.
-Great.

01:05:55.083 --> 01:05:57.000
No, not great.

01:05:57.083 --> 01:06:00.333
I'm sorry, but there is no way
I'm getting in front of a camera

01:06:00.416 --> 01:06:03.375
and telling my story
to millions of people. I can't do that.

01:06:03.458 --> 01:06:07.500
-See?
-Please. Please, just go.

01:06:08.458 --> 01:06:11.875
-Emma, if you do nothing-- Okay.
-Barry. Go.

01:06:13.541 --> 01:06:17.166
- Okay, I get it. Okay. Okay.
- Go. Go, go, go. Go, go.

01:06:17.250 --> 01:06:19.291
I got this.
I know what I'm doing.

01:06:20.833 --> 01:06:22.041
Let me do my thing.

01:06:24.041 --> 01:06:26.958
There must be a way to rid this community,
and by extension, the nation,

01:06:27.041 --> 01:06:28.500
of this cancer of intolerance.

01:06:28.583 --> 01:06:30.875
What are you even doing here? What
happened to&lt;span style="style2"&gt; Godspell?

01:06:30.958 --> 01:06:34.333
Indianapolis was canceled,
as was the naval base at Guantánamo Bay.

01:06:34.416 --> 01:06:36.208
What I'm thinking I'm going to do is this.

01:06:36.291 --> 01:06:39.541
Venture forth and seek out
the young people and rap,

01:06:39.625 --> 01:06:41.041
in a non-musical sense.

01:06:55.250 --> 01:06:56.750
Let's go get some more, huh?

01:06:57.583 --> 01:06:58.833
Two spoons this time.

01:06:59.916 --> 01:07:00.916
Come on.

01:07:04.250 --> 01:07:06.166
Gotta stop.

01:07:06.250 --> 01:07:11.791
Before you lecture me or kick me to death
with those crazy antelope legs of yours,

01:07:11.875 --> 01:07:15.583
or whatever you're gonna do,
I know I should do something.

01:07:16.958 --> 01:07:18.500
I just can't.

01:07:18.583 --> 01:07:20.125
You gotta do this.

01:07:20.208 --> 01:07:22.083
You gotta do it for all of us people

01:07:22.166 --> 01:07:25.791
that are standing in the wings,
waiting to go on.

01:07:27.083 --> 01:07:29.500
I'm too scared.

01:07:31.666 --> 01:07:33.083
Let me tell you a story.

01:07:34.083 --> 01:07:36.750
It's 1975

01:07:36.833 --> 01:07:40.041
and the original company of&lt;span style="style2"&gt; Chicago
is in previews,

01:07:40.125 --> 01:07:43.041
and the worst flu in history
hits the cast.

01:07:43.125 --> 01:07:47.291
They're down to the third cover
for the role of Roxie Hart

01:07:47.375 --> 01:07:50.291
and she's scared, just like you are.

01:07:50.375 --> 01:07:56.666
And Fosse, who is a real ballbuster,
is putting her through her paces

01:07:56.750 --> 01:07:58.458
and she's petrified.

01:07:58.541 --> 01:08:01.166
Worst of all, she's doing the routine
like she's a robot.

01:08:01.250 --> 01:08:07.625
So the Foss, he says,
"Hey, kid. Snap out of it."

01:08:09.666 --> 01:08:11.875
"You got the steps."

01:08:11.958 --> 01:08:14.250
"You've got the notes."

01:08:15.416 --> 01:08:18.833
"Where's the zazz, baby?"

01:08:20.208 --> 01:08:23.666
And even though
she'd never heard that word before,

01:08:23.750 --> 01:08:26.041
she knew immediately what it meant.

01:08:26.125 --> 01:08:29.375
And she went out there
and she found that spotlight,

01:08:29.458 --> 01:08:32.250
and she crushed that performance so hard,

01:08:32.333 --> 01:08:39.125
she had that whole audience standing
on their feet screaming bloody murder!

01:08:40.791 --> 01:08:42.250
And that girl was you!

01:08:43.125 --> 01:08:44.125
What?

01:08:44.875 --> 01:08:46.375
How old do you think I am?

01:08:46.458 --> 01:08:50.666
It was 1975! No.

01:08:50.750 --> 01:08:56.541
The point is
every Fosse girl knows that story.

01:08:56.625 --> 01:09:00.625
It's all about finding your light.

01:10:05.416 --> 01:10:07.208
I just don't think I can do it.

01:10:07.291 --> 01:10:10.208
The thought of getting up
in front of all of those people.

01:10:10.291 --> 01:10:12.041
Look at my hands, they're shaking.

01:10:20.375 --> 01:10:22.416
-Doesn't that feel better?
-No.

01:10:22.500 --> 01:10:23.833
Try this.

01:10:28.750 --> 01:10:29.916
This is awkward.

01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:32.666
You don't understand the concept of zazz.

01:10:32.750 --> 01:10:37.583
The zazz is not the moves.
The zazz comes from within.

01:10:37.666 --> 01:10:41.708
Do the moves and give it some zazz.

01:10:42.333 --> 01:10:43.500
Close your eyes.

01:10:44.458 --> 01:10:45.625
Think about Mrs. Greene.

01:10:46.666 --> 01:10:48.541
Think about that fake prom.

01:10:49.833 --> 01:10:53.708
Now think of finally
doing something about it.

01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:59.833
Oh, I'm seeing it! I'm seeing your zazz!

01:11:00.416 --> 01:11:02.083
Now, follow me!

01:11:51.083 --> 01:11:55.333
Now that you found your zazz,
it's time to show it to the world.

01:11:55.416 --> 01:11:57.833
-You think you know how?
-Yeah!

01:12:01.333 --> 01:12:05.625
You've sort of been,
you know, the woman in my life.

01:12:08.958 --> 01:12:10.375
You've been the man in mine.

01:12:12.125 --> 01:12:13.244
&lt;span
style="style2"&gt;And I was thinking

01:12:13.268 --> 01:12:14.541
&lt;span style="style2"&gt;this
could be our last time…

01:12:14.625 --> 01:12:15.958
We shouldn't be doing this.

01:12:16.041 --> 01:12:20.458
Oh, it's rom-com Friday.
Rom-com Friday is sacred.

01:12:20.541 --> 01:12:21.791
We should be helping Emma.

01:12:21.875 --> 01:12:25.458
-We gotta get her on TV.
-Sheldon is on it. Come on.

01:12:26.750 --> 01:12:29.458
- How does this work, anyway?
- It's infrared.

01:12:29.541 --> 01:12:32.333
- It reduces inflammation.
- Oh, good.

01:12:32.416 --> 01:12:34.791
But you can't keep it on too long.
It'll blow your face off.

01:12:35.458 --> 01:12:36.416
What?

01:12:47.958 --> 01:12:49.541
Saw this movie with Eddie.

01:12:52.625 --> 01:12:54.541
- It was our first date.
- Was it really?

01:12:54.625 --> 01:12:56.083
Yeah.

01:12:57.666 --> 01:13:01.416
Then he… took me out for dinner after.

01:13:02.041 --> 01:13:04.875
Well, I took him out.

01:13:04.958 --> 01:13:06.250
He didn't have any money.

01:13:06.333 --> 01:13:11.416
He was just starting out in comedy,
and he didn't have the big show like now.

01:13:13.208 --> 01:13:15.291
Fifteen years, he didn't have any money.

01:13:16.250 --> 01:13:18.750
And I picked up the tab. I paid.

01:13:20.666 --> 01:13:23.625
- That was a bad move.
- No kidding. I'm still paying.

01:13:29.500 --> 01:13:31.125
Can I make an observation?

01:13:31.208 --> 01:13:36.333
Is it a pleasant observation
or is it an irritating one?

01:13:36.416 --> 01:13:37.625
You're not over him.

01:13:37.708 --> 01:13:39.500
No, don't say that. I am not…

01:13:39.583 --> 01:13:41.750
Trust me. I am…

01:13:41.833 --> 01:13:44.041
I am way over him.

01:13:44.125 --> 01:13:47.875
I'm just mad at myself, you know, I am so…

01:13:48.583 --> 01:13:50.666
Why it took me so long to…

01:13:51.958 --> 01:13:53.166
figure it out.

01:13:53.958 --> 01:13:58.000
You know? I believed him.
I believed him every single time.

01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:01.083
"I promise you, it's nothing."

01:14:01.166 --> 01:14:03.916
"It's meaningless.
She's nothing to me. It's over."

01:14:05.333 --> 01:14:08.541
I finally got the message, you know.
He didn't love me.

01:14:10.750 --> 01:14:11.750
He didn't…

01:14:12.666 --> 01:14:14.791
He didn't even like me.

01:14:16.666 --> 01:14:18.041
But he liked the money.

01:14:18.833 --> 01:14:21.625
Oh, yeah, so I got out.

01:14:23.375 --> 01:14:24.375
I got out…

01:14:25.541 --> 01:14:27.416
and I gave him half my money.

01:14:28.750 --> 01:14:31.916
And now here we are, singing to trucks.

01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:34.000
And he's got a hit TV show.

01:14:34.083 --> 01:14:36.708
And I still owe him
half my unemployment check.

01:14:36.791 --> 01:14:38.791
&lt;span
style="style2"&gt;It's Eddie Sharpe!

01:14:38.875 --> 01:14:40.125
&lt;span style="style2"&gt;Whoa, hey!

01:14:40.208 --> 01:14:43.291
Welcome, everybody!
What's today's words of wisdom?

01:14:43.375 --> 01:14:45.875
&lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Never sign a prenup!

01:14:50.708 --> 01:14:53.291
And you know what the worst part is?

01:14:55.083 --> 01:14:56.000
I shut down.

01:14:58.208 --> 01:15:03.250
He took my little,
delicate blueberry heart,

01:15:03.333 --> 01:15:05.916
and he just… squished it.

01:15:10.541 --> 01:15:13.375
-What?
-Here's what you're gonna do, okay?

01:15:14.125 --> 01:15:18.041
You're gonna wear something
heart-stopping, like that yellow cape

01:15:18.125 --> 01:15:19.750
and those cute little boots.

01:15:19.833 --> 01:15:21.583
And you are gonna march down

01:15:21.666 --> 01:15:25.583
to that principal's office
like a bad, bad girl.

01:15:25.666 --> 01:15:27.333
Tom?

01:15:27.416 --> 01:15:29.791
Tom is a fan. Friend.

01:15:29.875 --> 01:15:31.041
Well…

01:15:32.250 --> 01:15:33.375
he likes you.

01:15:34.541 --> 01:15:36.250
As a fan. Friend.

01:15:37.541 --> 01:15:40.083
I don't know.
Not even that much anymore.

01:15:40.166 --> 01:15:42.583
Okay, let's cut the crap.
I would kill, &lt;span style="style2"&gt;kill,

01:15:42.666 --> 01:15:45.416
to have a guy look at me
the way that he looks at you.

01:15:45.500 --> 01:15:47.500
Stop it.

01:15:48.416 --> 01:15:52.666
You're just…
You're poking my heart with your finger.

01:15:53.375 --> 01:15:56.416
Your still-beating,
delicate little blueberry heart?

01:16:02.250 --> 01:16:05.916
Do you think he really, really likes me?

01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:07.083
Oh, my God, yes!

01:16:08.083 --> 01:16:09.416
Barry!

01:16:11.208 --> 01:16:14.166
-I love you! I love you!
-I love you! I love you!

01:16:14.250 --> 01:16:16.541
You're just such a great… everything.

01:16:19.125 --> 01:16:21.083
Okay, no, no, no. Okay.

01:16:22.000 --> 01:16:24.083
This, the master stroke, your idea.

01:16:24.166 --> 01:16:26.625
-And the boots?
-And the little cute boots.

01:16:28.666 --> 01:16:29.833
This is it.

01:16:33.541 --> 01:16:35.458
That is good.

01:16:39.833 --> 01:16:41.875
Mmm, now…

01:16:42.833 --> 01:16:43.666
you.

01:16:46.458 --> 01:16:48.791
I've been thinking about you
since we got here.

01:16:48.875 --> 01:16:51.791
Oh, God. I knew this was gonna
somehow turn around to me.

01:16:51.875 --> 01:16:57.250
And I think it's time somebody poked
that gay little heart of yours.

01:16:57.333 --> 01:16:59.250
Are we doing this? Fine. Uh…

01:16:59.333 --> 01:17:02.666
Do I only go for 10s
when I know I'm a 6.2? Yes and--

01:17:02.750 --> 01:17:06.083
Your parents. You're from Ohio, right?

01:17:06.166 --> 01:17:07.416
So?

01:17:08.291 --> 01:17:09.666
We're in Indiana.

01:17:09.750 --> 01:17:13.500
-Ohio, Indiana, they're close.
-I can see where you're driving this.

01:17:13.583 --> 01:17:15.958
You have two living parents

01:17:16.041 --> 01:17:19.291
that you'll never be nearer to
than you are right now.

01:17:19.375 --> 01:17:22.166
-I think you should call them.
-No.

01:17:23.041 --> 01:17:24.416
They threw me away.

01:17:24.500 --> 01:17:26.750
Well, did they really?

01:17:26.833 --> 01:17:28.250
I told them that I was gay,

01:17:28.333 --> 01:17:32.166
and they said that they would take me
to therapy to change myself completely.

01:17:34.208 --> 01:17:37.875
Let your parents see who you are
before it's too late.

01:17:40.625 --> 01:17:41.708
If you don't…

01:17:42.750 --> 01:17:43.750
you'll regret it.

01:17:45.875 --> 01:17:48.250
I'm not the one who should have regrets.

01:17:50.291 --> 01:17:51.875
I was the kid.

01:17:52.958 --> 01:17:54.208
I was the kid!

01:17:56.375 --> 01:17:57.958
I was 16.

01:18:00.500 --> 01:18:03.458
Sixteen years old. I was terrified.

01:18:03.541 --> 01:18:05.000
Terrified!

01:18:08.125 --> 01:18:11.166
And I needed one thing from them
and they couldn't give it to me.

01:18:11.250 --> 01:18:12.125
So don't you…

01:18:33.666 --> 01:18:35.458
&lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Would the following students

01:18:35.541 --> 01:18:37.583
please report to after-school detention?

01:18:38.458 --> 01:18:39.416
Harlan Doolittle…

01:18:39.500 --> 01:18:40.333
Hi.

01:18:40.416 --> 01:18:42.875
…Olivia Blanc, Frances Doolittle.
Thank you.

01:18:43.958 --> 01:18:45.875
Well, they each had a bite.

01:18:45.958 --> 01:18:48.791
- Ooh, what'd you do?
- Yeah, a big bite.

01:18:48.875 --> 01:18:50.875
I appreciate it. Bye-bye.

01:18:54.166 --> 01:18:56.083
Am I interrupting something?

01:18:56.166 --> 01:18:58.041 line:20%
I was just doing some research,

01:18:58.125 --> 01:19:01.333 line:20%
trying to figure out
if urinal cakes are poisonous.

01:19:02.000 --> 01:19:04.125
Uh, how can I help you?

01:19:04.750 --> 01:19:09.750
Well, I've just been wandering
around town all day.

01:19:11.833 --> 01:19:15.125
I've seen the… sight.

01:19:15.708 --> 01:19:16.708
And, um…

01:19:18.458 --> 01:19:23.125
Bottom line is I just thought
you might want to take me to dinner

01:19:23.208 --> 01:19:26.041
and worship me again.

01:19:26.125 --> 01:19:27.750
No, I would not like to do that.

01:19:27.833 --> 01:19:30.291
Now if you'll excuse me,
I've got work to do.

01:19:30.375 --> 01:19:33.625
Okay, what's going on here?
Why is everybody always so mad at me?

01:19:33.708 --> 01:19:37.583
Well, speaking for myself,
it's because you're an opportunist.

01:19:37.666 --> 01:19:40.583
You came here for publicity.
You're a terrible person.

01:19:40.666 --> 01:19:43.041
No, no. Nobody gets to
talk to me that way. Nobody!

01:19:44.000 --> 01:19:47.000
You know, meeting you in person
has been colossally disappointing.

01:19:48.291 --> 01:19:50.083
I wanted you to be Dolores.

01:19:50.166 --> 01:19:51.833
Who the hell is Dolores?

01:19:51.916 --> 01:19:53.708
From &lt;span style="style2"&gt;Swallow the Moon.

01:19:54.833 --> 01:19:56.675
&lt;span
style="style2"&gt;She was joyful.

01:19:56.699 --> 01:19:58.541
&lt;span style="style2"&gt;She
was full of courage and hope.

01:19:58.625 --> 01:20:01.625
-Okay, but she was fictional.
-But you made her real.

01:20:03.250 --> 01:20:05.833
When you sang
"The Lady's Improving" to Troy Gibson,

01:20:05.916 --> 01:20:09.125
you were admitting you weren't perfect
and you knew you could be better,

01:20:09.208 --> 01:20:11.875
and that's why
he didn't fire you from the circus act.

01:20:13.333 --> 01:20:15.791
Such humility and dignity.

01:20:16.458 --> 01:20:18.916
-That's who I thought you were.
-Well, I'm not.

01:20:19.916 --> 01:20:21.541
I'm not Dolores.

01:20:23.166 --> 01:20:28.041
I'm just a really, really,
really good actress. And you…

01:20:28.666 --> 01:20:30.916
You're just some hick town
high school teacher

01:20:31.000 --> 01:20:34.541
who can't even tell the difference
between fantasy and reality.

01:20:34.625 --> 01:20:36.500
-Are we done?
-Oh, yeah, we're done.

01:21:09.250 --> 01:21:11.625
I know what you're doing.

01:21:30.875 --> 01:21:32.541
You're trying to appeal to the fan in me.

01:21:32.625 --> 01:21:34.125
It won't work. I'm not a fan anymore.

01:22:01.291 --> 01:22:03.791
Seriously, Dee Dee, this is unsettling.

01:22:03.875 --> 01:22:06.583
It's like having a fantasy
I don't want to have.

01:22:35.875 --> 01:22:37.208
Hey!

01:22:47.208 --> 01:22:48.250
I need you to stop.

01:23:21.083 --> 01:23:22.500
Okay, I admit that got to me.

01:23:24.083 --> 01:23:26.041
See? See?

01:23:26.125 --> 01:23:31.125
I'm not a total lost cause.
That was a totally selfless act.

01:23:31.208 --> 01:23:34.166
I mean, people would pay
premium prices for that performance.

01:23:34.250 --> 01:23:36.750
All right, you guys are dismissed.

01:23:36.833 --> 01:23:40.958
Dee Dee, not charging for an apology
is not a selfless act.

01:23:42.083 --> 01:23:43.083
What the hell?

01:23:43.166 --> 01:23:47.125
If you want people to like you
instead of hate you, you have to be good.

01:23:47.208 --> 01:23:51.291
A good person. You have to put
other people's interests before your own.

01:23:52.208 --> 01:23:55.375
You don't understand.
I am a celebrity.

01:23:55.458 --> 01:23:58.958
It is all about me.
It has been for decades.

01:23:59.833 --> 01:24:03.833
That's the point of celebrity.
So I have to be reprogrammed.

01:24:03.916 --> 01:24:07.583
I have to unlearn things
like shoving and taking.

01:24:07.666 --> 01:24:08.750
-You know…
-Yes.

01:24:08.833 --> 01:24:11.000
I need help with that. I need a…

01:24:12.458 --> 01:24:13.458
teacher.

01:24:17.750 --> 01:24:18.750
Please.

01:24:24.458 --> 01:24:28.625
Let's go someplace and talk
about how to be good human beings.

01:24:30.500 --> 01:24:31.666
Apples &amp; Bees?

01:24:51.166 --> 01:24:52.166
Hi.

01:24:53.041 --> 01:24:55.333
Thanks for meeting me.
I was afraid you wouldn't come--

01:24:55.416 --> 01:24:56.250
What do you want?

01:24:56.333 --> 01:24:59.291
-I'm sorry about what happened.
-Were you in on it?

01:24:59.375 --> 01:25:01.708
Emma! You know me.

01:25:01.833 --> 01:25:02.750
Do I?

01:25:03.916 --> 01:25:05.250
What is this?

01:25:06.541 --> 01:25:07.500
What are we?

01:25:07.583 --> 01:25:09.583
-No, you know what we are.
-No, I don't.

01:25:11.083 --> 01:25:12.625
Do you know what it was like

01:25:12.708 --> 01:25:15.541
standing there in that stupid dress
alone in the gym,

01:25:16.333 --> 01:25:19.625
knowing that people got together
and planned the best way to hurt me?

01:25:19.708 --> 01:25:22.458
-That must've been awful.
-It was.

01:25:23.750 --> 01:25:25.000
But the worst part…

01:25:27.083 --> 01:25:32.208
The worst part was that you didn't come
even though you knew what happened.

01:25:32.291 --> 01:25:36.750
You didn't come and try and hold my hand
or take me out of there.

01:25:36.833 --> 01:25:38.416
-I couldn't, okay?
-Why?

01:25:38.500 --> 01:25:40.791
You know what my mother is like.

01:25:40.875 --> 01:25:43.458
She's a complete and total control freak.

01:27:38.791 --> 01:27:40.916
I'm gonna go public and tell my story.

01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:44.791
-Will you do it with me?
-I want to. I--

01:27:44.875 --> 01:27:48.958
Yeah, wanting to isn't enough.

01:27:50.958 --> 01:27:53.125
I believe you have feelings for me.

01:27:54.416 --> 01:27:58.416
But I can't do this anymore.
It hurts too much.

01:27:58.500 --> 01:28:00.291
Are you breaking up with me?

01:28:01.083 --> 01:28:02.791
I guess I am, yeah.

01:28:05.250 --> 01:28:06.083
Bye.

01:28:23.000 --> 01:28:27.875
I saw it on CNN. They said that
Edgewater, Indiana overflows with bigotry.

01:28:27.958 --> 01:28:29.875
Hey, look. It's that guy from &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Talk to the Hand.

01:28:29.958 --> 01:28:35.208
Hey, guys. I was just taking a walk,
enjoying the sweet scent of Americana.

01:28:35.291 --> 01:28:36.458
We're not interested.

01:28:36.541 --> 01:28:40.208
I feel like
there's an ideological divide between us,

01:28:40.291 --> 01:28:44.208
but if we got to know each other,
we could bridge it, right?

01:28:44.291 --> 01:28:45.958
So I'll start.

01:28:46.750 --> 01:28:49.458
I'm Trent. I'm an actor.

01:28:49.541 --> 01:28:54.166
My instrument was forged
in the fiery furnace that is Juilliard.

01:28:54.250 --> 01:28:57.166
I'm sure your drama teachers
told you about that institution.

01:28:57.250 --> 01:29:01.000
-We don't have a drama program.
-Explains your general lack of empathy.

01:29:01.083 --> 01:29:02.041
Let's start with you.

01:29:02.125 --> 01:29:04.083
- Me?
- Yes. Why do you hate gay people?

01:29:04.166 --> 01:29:07.875
-Hey, I'm a good person, right, Shelby?
-Yeah. Yeah, we all are.

01:29:07.958 --> 01:29:09.916
- We go to church.
- Yeah, we're Christian.

01:29:10.000 --> 01:29:14.833
Well, I'm sure there are a lot of rules
in the Bible that you break every day.

01:29:14.916 --> 01:29:16.291
Well, that's different.

01:29:19.375 --> 01:29:20.625
Is it?

01:29:20.708 --> 01:29:24.583
You can't cherry-pick the Bible,
choosing which parts you want to believe.

01:29:24.666 --> 01:29:26.250
We don't do that.

01:29:26.333 --> 01:29:27.958
Uh, you don't?

01:29:28.041 --> 01:29:30.250
Then what's this?

01:29:42.916 --> 01:29:43.875
What?

01:29:46.833 --> 01:29:47.666
Hey!

01:30:03.083 --> 01:30:03.916
What?

01:30:15.041 --> 01:30:15.875
Really?

01:30:36.458 --> 01:30:40.416
-You know, you kind of make sense.
-What are you talking about?

01:30:40.500 --> 01:30:44.333
Oh, come on. You guys don't even feel,
like, slightly bad for Emma?

01:30:44.416 --> 01:30:47.416
-I mean, you guys used to hang out.
-That was before she turned gay.

01:30:47.500 --> 01:30:48.833
Maybe she was always gay.

01:30:48.916 --> 01:30:52.333
Exactly, because that's the way
God made her, Shelby.

01:30:52.416 --> 01:30:53.750
-Come on. What?
-Whatever.

01:30:53.833 --> 01:30:55.694
Hey! It's the &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Godspell kids!

01:30:55.718 --> 01:30:56.916
Hey, Trent. What's going on?

01:30:57.000 --> 01:30:58.750
- You guys'll back me up.
- With what?

01:30:58.833 --> 01:31:02.250
He's just trying to confuse us.
Because my stepdad always says--

01:31:03.291 --> 01:31:06.333
Stepdad?
Do you mean your parents are divorced?

01:31:07.375 --> 01:31:08.833
Yeah, and?

01:31:08.916 --> 01:31:11.125
Well, divorce is a big no-no.

01:32:18.375 --> 01:32:19.708
Yes!

01:33:51.875 --> 01:33:53.541
Please.

01:33:58.166 --> 01:33:59.750
- Hi, everyone.
- Hi!

01:33:59.833 --> 01:34:01.833
It's okay, it's okay.
He knows what we're up to.

01:34:01.916 --> 01:34:04.750
And I'm on board,
as long as Emma's comfortable with it.

01:34:04.833 --> 01:34:08.000
Well, she's outta luck,
'cause we got nothin'.

01:34:08.083 --> 01:34:11.166
Uh, it's not over yet. Dee Dee.

01:34:11.250 --> 01:34:14.625
I have arranged a TV appearance for her…

01:34:14.708 --> 01:34:16.708
…on &lt;span style="style2"&gt;Eddie Sharpe.

01:34:16.791 --> 01:34:19.791
She's booked
for tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m.

01:34:19.875 --> 01:34:21.750
Not the house in the Hamptons.

01:34:21.833 --> 01:34:23.291
Yes.

01:34:25.458 --> 01:34:30.708
Hello, Eddie, it's Dee Dee,
your brutalized ex-wife.

01:34:30.791 --> 01:34:33.416
But I'm calling
on another matter entirely.

01:34:34.083 --> 01:34:35.083
What I did…

01:34:36.000 --> 01:34:40.375
was I put her interest ahead of my own.

01:34:40.458 --> 01:34:44.541
I expect nothing in return.

01:34:44.625 --> 01:34:49.875
I have no agenda
other than to ease someone else's burden.

01:34:49.958 --> 01:34:54.083
Oh, Dee Dee,
that is incredibly generous of you!

01:34:54.166 --> 01:34:55.041
I know!

01:34:55.125 --> 01:34:57.833
Hang on. What kind of audience
are we talking about here?

01:34:57.916 --> 01:35:02.208
I mean, &lt;span style="style2"&gt;Eddie Sharpe
on a weekday? Fifteen, sixteen million!

01:35:02.291 --> 01:35:05.541
-Dee Dee! You saved the day!
-Yeah, I did.

01:35:07.291 --> 01:35:11.166
- I love giving back. It's my new thing.
- There you go!

01:35:11.250 --> 01:35:12.833
-Emma!
-Hi.

01:35:12.916 --> 01:35:14.666
Emma! You wait until you hear the news.

01:35:14.750 --> 01:35:18.458
Dee Dee has got you booked on &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Eddie Sharpe tomorrow at 8:00

01:35:18.541 --> 01:35:21.291
with an audience of 16 million people!

01:35:21.375 --> 01:35:24.125
Wow! That's amazing. Thank you.

01:35:24.208 --> 01:35:26.500
Oh, I'm just…
I'm so happy to be able to help.

01:35:26.583 --> 01:35:29.083
And I'm gonna take a stand.

01:35:29.166 --> 01:35:33.208
And I want to thank you all
because without your love and support,

01:35:33.291 --> 01:35:35.083
I never would have found the courage.

01:35:35.166 --> 01:35:39.416
But, um, the reason I came
was to tell you that…

01:35:40.916 --> 01:35:42.458
I'm going to do it my way.

01:35:44.083 --> 01:35:45.750
I'm not going on TV.

01:35:51.666 --> 01:35:53.750
- You owe me a house!
- Oh, my God.

01:35:53.833 --> 01:35:55.541
- You owe me a house!
- Go, go!

01:35:55.625 --> 01:35:57.458
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- Run! Run!

01:35:57.541 --> 01:36:01.458
She owes me a house! She owes me my house!

01:36:01.541 --> 01:36:04.666
I need my house.

01:36:04.750 --> 01:36:06.666
She's a very passionate woman.

01:36:07.708 --> 01:36:09.583
So here's what's gonna happen.

01:36:09.666 --> 01:36:12.916
I'm gonna do my thing, and in the end,

01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:17.875
there will be a kick-ass prom
in Edgewater, Indiana, for everybody,

01:36:18.375 --> 01:36:20.375
regardless of who they happen to love.

01:36:21.166 --> 01:36:22.041
I know it.

01:36:22.125 --> 01:36:24.875
That… That would be wonderful.

01:36:24.958 --> 01:36:29.958
And when that happens,
I want you to be my date.

01:36:32.708 --> 01:36:33.833
Wait, but what about…

01:36:34.625 --> 01:36:35.875
We broke up.

01:36:37.708 --> 01:36:39.083
Just say yes.

01:36:39.166 --> 01:36:41.583
There's no one in the world
I'd rather go with.

01:36:46.333 --> 01:36:49.916
God. Don't make me cry.

01:36:52.791 --> 01:36:55.333
Of course I will go with you.

01:36:55.416 --> 01:36:57.708
We are going to the prom.

01:36:59.125 --> 01:37:00.125
God.

01:37:09.541 --> 01:37:11.500
I can't believe it.

01:38:54.500 --> 01:38:55.958
Going to the prom.

01:39:29.625 --> 01:39:30.583
Go on.

01:40:05.916 --> 01:40:07.041
Hello, interweb.

01:40:08.041 --> 01:40:11.583
My name is Emma Nolan,
and I'm 17 and I'm gay.

01:40:12.708 --> 01:40:15.500
You might have heard
about the fake prom in Indiana.

01:40:15.583 --> 01:40:16.750
That was me.

01:40:17.625 --> 01:40:20.041
It was awful in every way,

01:40:20.125 --> 01:40:23.541
and I spent a lot of time
feeling sorry for myself.

01:40:23.625 --> 01:40:26.791
So I wrote a song
for all the people out there

01:40:27.500 --> 01:40:32.333
who love someone in a way
that the world just doesn't understand.

01:40:32.416 --> 01:40:36.041
I know we all have stories to tell,
and here's mine.

01:41:45.750 --> 01:41:49.375
Hi, Emma.
I loved your video. Where do I start?

01:41:49.458 --> 01:41:51.000
I think my parents always knew.

01:41:51.083 --> 01:41:54.708
I felt so alone.
Nothing made sense until him.

01:41:54.791 --> 01:41:56.333
She's the best thing in my life.

01:41:56.416 --> 01:41:58.500
The only good thing.

01:41:58.583 --> 01:41:59.833
But we're always hiding.

01:41:59.916 --> 01:42:01.791
&lt;span
style="style2"&gt;You're not the only one.

01:43:45.000 --> 01:43:47.708
This is too much.
It's too much for my heart.

01:43:47.791 --> 01:43:51.208
That's why I wanted you guys to see it.
I've never been more proud.

01:43:51.291 --> 01:43:53.791
-So when is the prom?
-There's no money left.

01:43:53.875 --> 01:43:56.750
-What? What do you mean?
-We already had a prom, remember?

01:43:57.750 --> 01:44:00.375
There could be a miracle. It's early.

01:44:02.625 --> 01:44:05.125
Okay, people,
it's Mickey and Judy time. Okay?

01:44:05.208 --> 01:44:07.375
This is the part
where we roll up our sleeves

01:44:07.458 --> 01:44:09.708
and we put on a prom
with our own bare hands.

01:44:09.791 --> 01:44:13.791
-We are giving Emma the prom she deserves.
-Okay, wait a minute.

01:44:13.875 --> 01:44:17.041
How much are we talking about?
What does a prom cost?

01:44:18.083 --> 01:44:20.000
I mean,
it's not a school-sanctioned event,

01:44:20.083 --> 01:44:21.958
so we have to pay
a rental fee on the gym.

01:44:22.041 --> 01:44:22.916
DJ.

01:44:23.000 --> 01:44:24.541
-Lighting.
-Sound system.

01:44:24.625 --> 01:44:27.083
It's still thousands of dollars.

01:44:27.750 --> 01:44:29.166
Right. Um…

01:44:32.166 --> 01:44:34.125
Okay, here.

01:44:35.250 --> 01:44:38.000
Charge that until it declines,
which will be soon.

01:44:38.083 --> 01:44:39.931
I had to declare bankruptcy
after my self-produced

01:44:39.955 --> 01:44:41.500
&lt;span style="style2"&gt;Notes
on a Scandal.

01:44:42.208 --> 01:44:43.750
Yes. Well…

01:44:45.083 --> 01:44:47.750
I don't have a credit card anymore
because I…

01:44:47.833 --> 01:44:49.166
Well, I just…

01:44:49.250 --> 01:44:54.333
But, anyway, you can have what I have
in my Venmo and there's my cash.

01:44:54.416 --> 01:44:55.458
It's all yours.

01:44:55.541 --> 01:44:57.583
- Thanks, Angie.
- Sure.

01:44:57.666 --> 01:45:00.958
Okay. This is my card
from the Actors Federal Credit Union.

01:45:01.041 --> 01:45:03.458
Just cross your fingers and swipe.

01:45:04.375 --> 01:45:08.416
All right. Well, we're making
some progress here. This is a nice start.

01:45:08.500 --> 01:45:09.458
Um…

01:45:09.541 --> 01:45:12.000 line:20%
We still have a long way to go.

01:45:16.375 --> 01:45:19.416
-Dee Dee. Dee Dee?
-What?

01:45:19.500 --> 01:45:23.291
Oh, come on. I know you've got
an American Express black card in there.

01:45:23.375 --> 01:45:24.875
There's no limit on that baby.

01:45:24.958 --> 01:45:30.000
Please, please, no.
I already gave a house.

01:45:30.083 --> 01:45:32.833
Exactly, so this is nothing. Come on.

01:45:34.791 --> 01:45:36.166
Eleanor.

01:45:37.875 --> 01:45:39.083
Franklin.

01:45:42.666 --> 01:45:49.625
Why does being good
cost so much… money?

01:45:51.083 --> 01:45:53.000
Well done, Dee Dee.

01:45:53.083 --> 01:45:54.916
- Yes!
- We're fully financed.

01:45:55.000 --> 01:45:57.875
- Yeah!
- Okay, well, let's give this girl a prom!

01:45:57.958 --> 01:45:59.875
- Yes!
- Okay, let's do it!

01:45:59.958 --> 01:46:03.083
The students will want to see us
perform some sort of number.

01:46:03.166 --> 01:46:06.541
So, look, I…
I've been thinking hard about this.

01:46:07.541 --> 01:46:10.250
That thing
that you and I were talking about.

01:46:11.166 --> 01:46:13.750
-I called your mother.
-What?

01:46:13.833 --> 01:46:16.875
Yeah, I found her number in your phone.

01:46:17.875 --> 01:46:19.750
How did you know my passcode?

01:46:19.833 --> 01:46:23.500
Well, I guessed. 9481. Beyoncé's birthday.

01:46:23.583 --> 01:46:26.041
Got it on the first try.

01:46:26.791 --> 01:46:30.041
-Well, why would you do that?
-Because, Barry…

01:46:31.875 --> 01:46:35.625
-I know you couldn't do it on your own.
-What did she say?

01:46:35.708 --> 01:46:38.625
Well, I think
maybe you should let her tell you that.

01:46:39.583 --> 01:46:40.583
Hi, Barry.

01:46:42.291 --> 01:46:46.208
Okay. I'm gonna give you some space,
and I'll be in the faculty lounge, okay?

01:46:49.833 --> 01:46:53.583
No. No, you…
You don't get to do this. Okay?

01:46:53.666 --> 01:46:57.875
You don't get to show up
out of nowhere. Okay? No. Uh-uh.

01:46:57.958 --> 01:46:59.500
I came all this way, Barry.

01:46:59.583 --> 01:47:02.083
Well, you can just turn around
and go right back, okay?

01:47:02.166 --> 01:47:03.791
You called me, didn't you?

01:47:05.000 --> 01:47:07.666
That was you who called
and hung up, wasn't it?

01:47:12.708 --> 01:47:17.541
I handled this all wrong, honey.
And I'm so sorry.

01:47:17.625 --> 01:47:19.666
Okay. You just… stay…

01:47:22.208 --> 01:47:26.500
When you told us what you were,
who you were,

01:47:27.916 --> 01:47:31.000
your father and I, we were scared.

01:47:31.083 --> 01:47:32.583
We hardly knew what gay meant.

01:47:32.666 --> 01:47:35.666
We both thought
that somehow we had failed you,

01:47:35.750 --> 01:47:37.458
like maybe it was our fault.

01:47:38.875 --> 01:47:41.166
So it's okay now?

01:47:41.250 --> 01:47:44.041
What I needed was a mother
who didn't know if it was okay

01:47:44.125 --> 01:47:45.666
but loved me anyway.

01:47:47.250 --> 01:47:49.958
You think you were scared?
How do you think I felt?

01:47:50.041 --> 01:47:53.083
I know, Barry.
I failed you and I know.

01:47:54.166 --> 01:47:57.083
That's gonna be on my heart
till the day I die.

01:47:57.750 --> 01:48:02.958
But all I can say is
I was wrong and I'm sorry.

01:48:07.750 --> 01:48:09.666
What about Dad? Is he here?

01:48:09.750 --> 01:48:11.833
Uh, no. He's just not…

01:48:13.375 --> 01:48:14.541
He's not there yet.

01:48:15.125 --> 01:48:16.541
I'm sorry to say.

01:48:17.458 --> 01:48:18.458
Oh, Barry.

01:48:20.416 --> 01:48:25.250
Please forgive me.
I've missed you so much.

01:48:29.916 --> 01:48:31.250
I missed you too.

01:48:32.541 --> 01:48:33.583
I did.

01:48:34.791 --> 01:48:37.125
I missed you too. I missed you.

01:48:46.208 --> 01:48:50.166
-Aren't you tired of watching that?
-Eight million people have seen it.

01:48:50.791 --> 01:48:52.583
I just don't understand it.

01:48:52.666 --> 01:48:54.416
Well, I think it's brave.

01:48:56.625 --> 01:48:58.833
The kids are saying
there's gonna be another prom.

01:48:58.916 --> 01:49:01.000
Someone's offered to pay for it.

01:49:02.833 --> 01:49:03.750
Who?

01:49:04.958 --> 01:49:07.208
This is so generous of you guys.

01:49:07.291 --> 01:49:09.958
We had to do something
after you broke the Internet.

01:49:10.041 --> 01:49:13.000
It was crazy.
The numbers just kept going up,

01:49:13.083 --> 01:49:14.711
and then the &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Indiana Star called,

01:49:14.735 --> 01:49:16.333
and then the &lt;span
style="style2"&gt;Washington Post--

01:49:16.416 --> 01:49:17.833
Hello, everyone.

01:49:17.916 --> 01:49:20.041
Can't have a prom without flowers.

01:49:20.125 --> 01:49:22.083
So I will put these out on the table,

01:49:22.166 --> 01:49:24.166
even though I'd rather just
give them all to you.

01:49:24.250 --> 01:49:26.458
- Oh, my God!
- Is this for real?

01:49:26.541 --> 01:49:31.750
Can I just say you guys are
the best middle-aged people I've ever met.

01:49:34.291 --> 01:49:35.166
That is…

01:49:35.250 --> 01:49:36.916
Oh, honey…

01:49:38.041 --> 01:49:41.250
We need to talk to you
about something, okay? And I think it's…

01:49:42.416 --> 01:49:44.541
It's important that you understand

01:49:44.625 --> 01:49:47.916
the real reason
why we came here to visit you.

01:49:48.000 --> 01:49:50.250
It wasn't for the Hoosier pie?

01:49:50.333 --> 01:49:52.208
Well, I mean, um…

01:49:55.000 --> 01:49:57.541
-We were in a show.
-A wonderful show.

01:49:57.625 --> 01:49:58.875
Well, I mean…

01:49:59.750 --> 01:50:02.541
And we got blasted by the critics.

01:50:02.625 --> 01:50:05.916
They called us narcissists, and it hurt.

01:50:06.000 --> 01:50:08.916
And it hurt
because I guess they were right.

01:50:09.000 --> 01:50:14.250
So we looked around for a cause
that might give us some credibility.

01:50:14.333 --> 01:50:16.625
Maybe get us some good press.

01:50:16.708 --> 01:50:19.458
Like building
a house for Habitat for Humanity.

01:50:19.541 --> 01:50:22.208
Then we realized that
we're not capable of building anything.

01:50:22.291 --> 01:50:23.958
And then I found you on Twitter.

01:50:24.041 --> 01:50:27.666
I mean, it was just dumb luck,
but meant to be.

01:50:28.791 --> 01:50:32.583
Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, but…

01:50:33.333 --> 01:50:35.541
you're going to build something.

01:50:35.625 --> 01:50:38.375
You're going to build a prom.

01:50:38.458 --> 01:50:40.416
Stop it! Stop this, please!

01:50:40.500 --> 01:50:43.041
Who gave you people
permission to be in here?

01:50:43.125 --> 01:50:46.208
-I did.
-You should have consulted with the PTA.

01:50:46.291 --> 01:50:49.958
Well, this is not a school event, so
I'm not obliged to get the PTA's approval.

01:50:50.541 --> 01:50:54.375
I'm going to be
as clear as I possibly can.

01:50:55.416 --> 01:50:58.208
Your beliefs are not our beliefs.

01:50:58.291 --> 01:51:00.166
Hey, Emma. Can we talk to you?

01:51:06.125 --> 01:51:09.083
I was a jerk, and I'm sorry.

01:51:09.875 --> 01:51:13.416
You deserve to go to prom
just like any other kid.

01:51:13.500 --> 01:51:17.500
What? I thought you hated me.
I thought you all hated me.

01:51:17.583 --> 01:51:18.916
Oh, they hated you.

01:51:19.000 --> 01:51:23.208
They hated you with a burning passion
stoked by centuries of intolerance

01:51:23.291 --> 01:51:25.291
and the lack of a drama program.

01:51:25.375 --> 01:51:26.791
I'm sorry, too, Emma.

01:51:28.500 --> 01:51:32.583
You know, you explain things really well.
You should be, like, a teacher.

01:51:32.666 --> 01:51:35.666
- Oh, you should be our drama teacher!
- Yes, please!

01:51:35.750 --> 01:51:37.416
You should do it. Do it.

01:51:38.916 --> 01:51:40.666
-You're hired!
-I'm a teacher!

01:51:40.750 --> 01:51:42.583
-As a temp.
-Absolutely.

01:51:42.666 --> 01:51:45.125
No, no, no! This is--
This is what I was afraid of.

01:51:45.208 --> 01:51:46.875
-Mom!
-Let me finish!

01:51:46.958 --> 01:51:50.416
No, you have got to stop talking
and just listen, okay?

01:51:52.500 --> 01:51:54.166
People don't turn gay.

01:51:55.250 --> 01:51:56.291
They are who they are.

01:51:56.375 --> 01:51:58.541
No. You don't know what you're saying.

01:51:58.625 --> 01:51:59.625
I do.

01:52:00.416 --> 01:52:01.333
I do.

01:52:03.541 --> 01:52:07.583
Look, I know how you were raised,
but… the world's a different place.

01:52:08.291 --> 01:52:10.083
And sure, it's not great, but…

01:52:11.083 --> 01:52:16.250
it's… it's better because of people
who have the courage to be who they are.

01:52:19.125 --> 01:52:20.291
People like her.

01:52:24.916 --> 01:52:26.666
I don't want to hurt you.

01:52:28.041 --> 01:52:30.458
I don't want to hurt anyone.

01:52:33.083 --> 01:52:35.500
I just want to be me.

01:52:38.791 --> 01:52:40.041
So here goes.

01:52:40.750 --> 01:52:42.916
-I love you, Emma Nolan.
-Oh, my God.

01:52:45.208 --> 01:52:47.041
I love you too.

01:52:47.125 --> 01:52:49.125
Alyssa… No, listen to me.

01:52:49.208 --> 01:52:52.750
You are very young and you are confused.

01:52:52.833 --> 01:52:54.541
You don't know what is…

01:52:59.875 --> 01:53:03.625
I just don't want you to have a hard life.

01:53:04.791 --> 01:53:06.416
It's already hard.

01:53:12.791 --> 01:53:14.416
- Mom, I love you--
-No.

01:53:20.958 --> 01:53:22.458
We'll…

01:53:23.041 --> 01:53:27.750
We can talk about this tonight.
Okay? Okay?

01:53:27.833 --> 01:53:29.500
-Okay.
-Okay. Okay.

01:53:29.583 --> 01:53:30.750
Mom…

01:53:38.500 --> 01:53:41.083
- Just breathe.
- Hey, why don't we decorate?

01:53:41.166 --> 01:53:43.875
Yes, let's decorate.
Let's decorate everything.

01:53:43.958 --> 01:53:45.833
- All right.
- I need you here.

01:53:45.916 --> 01:53:48.000
We're gonna
make this place really pretty.

01:54:03.583 --> 01:54:04.750
Look at that!

01:54:06.583 --> 01:54:09.583
I'm so proud of you. Look at what you did.

01:54:09.666 --> 01:54:11.333
I can't believe this.

01:54:12.583 --> 01:54:14.833
I think we're early.

01:54:14.916 --> 01:54:16.708
Yeah, it looks like it.

01:54:16.791 --> 01:54:18.750
You want to hit up the punch bowl?

01:54:18.833 --> 01:54:22.583
No. There's only one thing
that I want to do.

01:55:14.500 --> 01:55:17.833
Oh, my! Are you kidding me?

01:55:18.750 --> 01:55:19.833
This is amazing.

01:55:19.916 --> 01:55:23.166
-Our first prom-goers have arrived.
-Yeah.

01:55:23.250 --> 01:55:26.875
-Girls, this is unbelievable.
-Oh, look at you. You're so beautiful!

01:55:26.958 --> 01:55:30.375
You look incredible, sweetheart!

01:55:30.458 --> 01:55:33.041
-Can you believe we pulled this off?
-I can't!

01:55:33.125 --> 01:55:35.666
And kids are coming
from all over the state.

01:55:35.750 --> 01:55:39.250
-We're letting them in in one minute.
-So let's do this right.

01:56:52.041 --> 01:56:53.583
- Oh, my God!
- What?

01:56:53.666 --> 01:56:55.625
I just got the call!

01:56:56.291 --> 01:56:58.708
Tina Louise has shingles!

01:56:58.791 --> 01:57:02.000
They want me to go on as Roxie Hart!

01:57:02.083 --> 01:57:03.541
What'd you tell 'em?

01:57:03.625 --> 01:57:06.458
-I said, "No way. I got a prom to go to."
-Attagirl!

01:57:06.541 --> 01:57:07.708
No! Just kiddin'.

01:57:07.791 --> 01:57:11.958
I'm on the red-eye tomorrow.
So let's get this party started!

01:57:12.041 --> 01:57:13.666
Yeah!

01:58:01.166 --> 01:58:02.541
Hi, guys. This is Mark.

01:58:17.041 --> 01:58:17.916
Okay.

01:58:24.166 --> 01:58:25.541
Why are you here?

01:58:28.500 --> 01:58:30.500
We have a lot to talk about.

01:58:31.791 --> 01:58:32.958
But I'm here…

01:58:33.958 --> 01:58:39.083
because there is one thing that matters
to me more than anything else.

01:58:44.541 --> 01:58:45.500
You.

01:58:47.875 --> 01:58:49.583
You are my daughter,

01:58:50.541 --> 01:58:54.458
and I have loved you
since the moment I laid eyes on you,

01:58:54.541 --> 01:58:59.500
and that is never going to change.
Ever. Okay?

01:58:59.583 --> 01:59:01.916
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay.

01:59:15.958 --> 01:59:17.291
Ooh!

01:59:17.375 --> 01:59:19.250
-Okay. Okay.
-Okay. Okay.

01:59:19.333 --> 01:59:21.166
-Go ahead.
-No, come on.

01:59:21.250 --> 01:59:22.125
Okay.

01:59:32.291 --> 01:59:35.083
What do you prefer? Gardenias or orchids?

01:59:35.166 --> 01:59:37.541
-For what?
-Your corsage.

01:59:39.208 --> 01:59:40.208
Gardenias.

01:59:41.958 --> 01:59:42.791
All right.

02:00:00.166 --> 02:00:04.041
-Don't let me destroy him.
-I'll try my best.

02:00:08.333 --> 02:00:14.250
-Is this what not failing feels like?
-Yeah. I think it is.

02:00:15.125 --> 02:00:17.500
- Pretty good, huh?
- Yeah!

02:00:17.524 --> 02:00:28.524
