The Prom (2020) EN

1
00:00:11,125 --> 00:00:12,666
Let's get to it.

2
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:14,041
All those in favor…

3
00:00:16,291 --> 00:00:17,625
All opposed.

4
00:00:20,666 --> 00:00:24,291
Well, the PTA has an accepted
set of rules concerning the prom.

5
00:00:24,375 --> 00:00:26,750
Young ladies must wear
non-revealing dresses.

6
00:00:26,833 --> 00:00:29,083
Young men must wear suits or tuxes.

7
00:00:29,166 --> 00:00:32,666
And if a student chooses to bring a date,
they must be of the opposite sex.

8
00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:34,916
Well, can't you just ban this student?

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,125
Well, we've been advised
that there may be some legal repercussions

10
00:00:38,208 --> 00:00:40,166
if we prevent this girl from attending,

11
00:00:40,250 --> 00:00:42,833
so although it breaks my heart,
we have no choice.

12
00:00:42,916 --> 00:00:45,458
- There won't be a prom.
- Mrs. Greene, a question.

13
00:00:45,541 --> 00:00:48,125
Have you asked the students
what they think of this?

14
00:00:48,208 --> 00:00:50,000
Are you choosing not to comment?

15
00:00:50,083 --> 00:00:52,291
Hey, there's Emma!
Can we get a comment?

16
00:00:52,375 --> 00:00:54,083
Can you answer
some questions?

17
00:00:54,166 --> 00:00:55,625
Can we get a statement?

18
00:00:55,708 --> 00:00:59,291
Emma, what do you think
of the PTA's decision to cancel prom?

19
00:00:59,375 --> 00:01:01,083
Emma, do you have a response?

20
00:01:44,125 --> 00:01:46,791
It's Frank DiLella
with New York 1's <i>On Stage.</i>

21
00:01:46,875 --> 00:01:50,916
We're here for the opening night
of <i>Eleanor! The Eleanor Roosevelt Musical,</i>

22
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,166
starring the incomparable Dee Dee Allen.

23
00:01:54,250 --> 00:01:58,625
- Dee Dee! You're a Broadway star.
- Yes, I am.

24
00:01:58,708 --> 00:02:02,166
You have your choice of roles.
What drew you to Eleanor?

25
00:02:02,250 --> 00:02:07,250
Well, Eleanor Roosevelt
was a brave, powerful, charismatic woman

26
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,250
who no one had ever heard of.

27
00:02:09,333 --> 00:02:10,958
Her story needs to be told.

28
00:02:11,041 --> 00:02:15,416
People need to know
it is possible to change the world,

29
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:18,791
whether you're
a homely middle-aged First Lady

30
00:02:18,875 --> 00:02:21,250
or a Broadway star!

31
00:02:21,333 --> 00:02:24,458
Barry Glickman! You were brilliant as FDR.

32
00:02:24,541 --> 00:02:26,666
From the moment
I first stepped into FDR's shoes…

33
00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:28,916
And when I say "shoes," I mean wheelchair.

34
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,083
…I had an epiphany.

35
00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:32,708
I realized there is no difference

36
00:02:32,791 --> 00:02:36,375
between the president of the United States
and a celebrity.

37
00:02:36,458 --> 00:02:40,583
We both have power.
The power to change the world.

38
00:02:40,666 --> 00:02:43,250
It's a weighty responsibility.

39
00:02:43,333 --> 00:02:44,791
Let's talk process.

40
00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:26,083
Bravo!

41
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:30,041
The first review is in.
New Jersey <i>Star-Ledger.</i>

42
00:03:30,125 --> 00:03:31,541
Don't tell me…

43
00:03:32,291 --> 00:03:35,458
Unless it's a rave or a mixed-positive.

44
00:03:36,041 --> 00:03:37,291
It says we're a hit!

45
00:03:39,041 --> 00:03:41,791
Oh, my God!

46
00:04:05,458 --> 00:04:08,375
To <i>Eleanor!</i>
May she run for eternity!

47
00:04:08,458 --> 00:04:10,125
To <i>Eleanor!</i>

48
00:04:57,416 --> 00:04:59,041
It's just what we do.

49
00:04:59,125 --> 00:05:00,958
The rest of the reviews are coming in!

50
00:05:02,250 --> 00:05:05,666
<i>New York Post,</i>
Associated Press,<i> New York Times.</i>

51
00:05:05,750 --> 00:05:07,750
<i>The New York Times!</i>

52
00:05:08,583 --> 00:05:09,416
Wow…

53
00:05:13,541 --> 00:05:14,541
What?

54
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:16,750
- Wow…
- What's happening?

55
00:05:16,833 --> 00:05:20,166
This is not a review you want
when you have crappy advance sales.

56
00:05:20,250 --> 00:05:21,875
This is gonna close us.

57
00:05:22,625 --> 00:05:25,041
What didn't they like? Was it the hip-hop?

58
00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:27,083
Yes, but not only that.

59
00:05:27,166 --> 00:05:30,833
- For God's sake, Sheldon. Just read it.
- What? Read.

60
00:05:30,916 --> 00:05:33,250
Okay, just the highlights.

61
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:37,208
"Barry Glickman's FDR might just be
the most insultingly misguided,

62
00:05:37,291 --> 00:05:39,500
offensive, and laughable performance

63
00:05:39,583 --> 00:05:44,000
that this reviewer has ever had
the squirming misfortune to endure."

64
00:05:46,750 --> 00:05:48,208
That's not so bad.

65
00:05:48,833 --> 00:05:51,166
- Do her. Do her.
- I'm just saying.

66
00:05:52,166 --> 00:05:54,416
"Watching Dee Dee Allen's
Eleanor Roosevelt

67
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:57,208
croaking out a heavy-handed
message of activism

68
00:05:57,291 --> 00:05:59,708
is like paying an aging drag queen

69
00:05:59,791 --> 00:06:03,041
to shove a syrup-soaked
American flag down my throat."

70
00:06:03,625 --> 00:06:05,208
Well, that…

71
00:06:05,291 --> 00:06:07,916
That's not criticism.

72
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,250
That's just… It's just a per…
…a personal attack.

73
00:06:12,333 --> 00:06:16,833
"If you're considering buying a ticket
to this show, do yourself a favor."

74
00:06:16,916 --> 00:06:19,791
"Buy a few feet
of good, heavy rope instead

75
00:06:19,875 --> 00:06:21,666
and then go hang yourself."

76
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:25,541
Oh, God! Oh, God!

77
00:06:26,666 --> 00:06:29,416
What?
Was the show really that bad?

78
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:32,333
It's not the show. It's you two.

79
00:06:32,416 --> 00:06:34,208
You're just not likeable.

80
00:06:34,916 --> 00:06:35,916
- What?
- What?

81
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,291
Nobody likes a narcissist.

82
00:06:39,208 --> 00:06:40,708
- Oh, this…
- Oh, that.

83
00:06:40,791 --> 00:06:44,291
Leave it to me. I'll go and try
and change the narrative once again.

84
00:06:44,375 --> 00:06:48,791
- I hate this world! This is bullshit!
- Just horrible. It's just… It hurts.

85
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:52,000
It… It hurts my heart.

86
00:06:52,083 --> 00:06:54,375
Where did everybody go?

87
00:06:55,333 --> 00:06:58,583
- What can I get you?
- Yola Mezcal blackberry smash.

88
00:06:59,166 --> 00:07:01,250
My condolences, Dee Dee.

89
00:07:01,333 --> 00:07:03,791
But remember, you have friends.

90
00:07:03,875 --> 00:07:06,458
Thank you. Who are you?

91
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:08,583
Trent Oliver.

92
00:07:11,041 --> 00:07:14,125
- We've done five shows together.
- Oh, really? Oh, my God.

93
00:07:14,208 --> 00:07:16,375
Trent went to Juilliard.
Won't shut up about it.

94
00:07:16,458 --> 00:07:19,583
- Oh, right, Trent! Of course, Trent!
- Trent.

95
00:07:22,166 --> 00:07:23,541
Why are you dressed like a waiter?

96
00:07:24,583 --> 00:07:26,916
- I'm in between gigs at the moment.
- Hmm.

97
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,500
Honestly, Dee Dee, I feel adrift
as I did in my days before Juilliard.

98
00:07:31,583 --> 00:07:32,666
Oh, my God.

99
00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:35,875
You see, my passions are fueled
by the power of Lady Theater

100
00:07:35,958 --> 00:07:39,000
and how she can,
with a gentle touch of her hand,

101
00:07:39,083 --> 00:07:41,083
sculpt a human soul.

102
00:07:41,166 --> 00:07:43,833
- But we learned at Juilliard…
- Oh, mother of God.

103
00:07:43,916 --> 00:07:47,791
If I could soliloquize,
"If you prick me, do I not bleed?"

104
00:07:49,666 --> 00:07:52,541
"And if you do not pay me,
do I not still act?"

105
00:07:52,625 --> 00:07:54,208
That might be enough.

106
00:07:54,291 --> 00:07:56,000
Still, I have played Hamlet,

107
00:07:56,083 --> 00:08:01,875
and yet I'm only known as <i>that</i> guy
from the beloved early aughts' sitcom…

108
00:08:02,458 --> 00:08:03,708
Talk to the Hand.

109
00:08:07,875 --> 00:08:10,791
I question
the very meaning of my existence.

110
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,125
Maggie Smith once approached me
in a men's bathroom and she said,

111
00:08:17,208 --> 00:08:19,791
"Who sent you? Was it Michelle Dockery?"

112
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:23,708
"Because the court said 500 yards."
You could tell she was scared.

113
00:08:23,791 --> 00:08:26,958
- Hey, guys!
- Angie! Angie.

114
00:08:27,041 --> 00:08:30,291
I'm sorry your show
closed on opening night again!

115
00:08:32,416 --> 00:08:35,083
Welcome to the world
of the unemployed. Top me off.

116
00:08:35,166 --> 00:08:36,750
I thought you were in <i>Chicago.</i>

117
00:08:36,833 --> 00:08:39,583
I just quit.

118
00:08:40,208 --> 00:08:43,708
Twenty years in the chorus and they still
wouldn't let me play Roxie Hart.

119
00:08:43,791 --> 00:08:45,958
- Aw.
- You wanna know who's playing the role?

120
00:08:46,041 --> 00:08:47,416
- Kelly Ripa?
- Cher?

121
00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:49,166
- Connie Chung.
- Kris Jenner?

122
00:08:49,250 --> 00:08:50,833
No, Tina Louise.

123
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:53,916
Ginger from <i>Gilligan's Island.</i>

124
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,625
Oh, my God, is she still alive?

125
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:12,250
We're wasting our lives.

126
00:09:12,333 --> 00:09:16,250
Hmm, it's true.
At least we're all in the same boat.

127
00:09:16,333 --> 00:09:20,416
"Misery acquaints a man
with strange bedfellows."

128
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:22,583
- Oh, my God.
- That's from <i>The Tempest.</i>

129
00:09:22,666 --> 00:09:26,541
Okay, one, shut up.
Two, I refuse to give up, okay?

130
00:09:26,625 --> 00:09:30,458
We're… We're still celebrities.
We still have power.

131
00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:34,166
Now, <i>The Times</i>
sort of castrated you as it were.

132
00:09:35,166 --> 00:09:38,416
Yep. They wrote you off
as aging narcissists.

133
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,375
I still don't understand
what's wrong with that.

134
00:09:41,458 --> 00:09:45,625
There's a very simple way
that we can still love ourselves

135
00:09:45,708 --> 00:09:50,500
yet appear to be
decent human beings, okay?

136
00:09:50,583 --> 00:09:53,166
We will become celebrity activists.

137
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:55,500
- Oh! Brilliant!
- Right?

138
00:09:55,583 --> 00:09:57,875
- All we need is a cause.
- A cause célèbre.

139
00:09:57,958 --> 00:10:00,375
Everybody think of some causes. Go.

140
00:10:00,458 --> 00:10:02,416
- Um, poverty?
- Too big.

141
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:03,750
World hunger.

142
00:10:03,833 --> 00:10:07,625
That is also a major thing.
No, we need something we can handle.

143
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:11,166
Some little injustice
we can drive to. Recycling.

144
00:10:11,250 --> 00:10:13,541
- Let's see what's trending.
- Recycling's good.

145
00:10:13,625 --> 00:10:16,833
- Why are there so many award shows?
- Parking.

146
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:20,000
- Or the TVs in the back of cabs.
- Oh! Oh, yeah, what about this girl?

147
00:10:20,875 --> 00:10:22,750
Oh, my gosh. Check this out.

148
00:10:22,833 --> 00:10:24,541
- What girl?
- It's all over Twitter.

149
00:10:26,125 --> 00:10:28,166
She's from Edgewater, Indiana.

150
00:10:29,166 --> 00:10:33,291
She's a lesbian. She wanted to take
her girlfriend to the high school prom,

151
00:10:33,375 --> 00:10:35,958
and the PTA went apeshit
and they canceled it.

152
00:10:36,041 --> 00:10:38,000
They canceled prom?

153
00:10:38,083 --> 00:10:40,125
- Are they allowed to do that?
- No.

154
00:10:40,208 --> 00:10:42,125
<i>Principal Hawkins,</i>
<i>your response.</i>

155
00:10:42,208 --> 00:10:45,000
<i>The first thing I'm going to do
is contact the Indiana state's attorney.</i>

156
00:10:45,083 --> 00:10:48,416
{\an8}<i>This is not about school rules.
This is a civil rights case.</i>

157
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:49,583
{\an8}<i>Wait, seriously?</i>

158
00:10:49,666 --> 00:10:53,458
{\an8}<i>I'm betting pressure from the state's
attorney will stop these bigots cold.</i>

159
00:10:53,541 --> 00:10:55,541
{\an8}<i>It better.
Because I'll tell you this much.</i>

160
00:10:55,625 --> 00:10:58,000
{\an8}<i>If word gets out,
people are gonna get mad.</i>

161
00:10:58,083 --> 00:10:59,375
{\an8}This pisses me off.

162
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,500
{\an8}<i>The next thing you know,
some modern-day Eleanor Roosevelt</i>

163
00:11:02,583 --> 00:11:05,375
<i>is gonna march down here
and all hell's gonna break loose.</i>

164
00:11:06,833 --> 00:11:09,791
We have got to go down there
and raise holy hell.

165
00:11:09,875 --> 00:11:12,333
We will be the biggest thing
to happen in Indiana

166
00:11:12,416 --> 00:11:14,625
since… whatever's happened in Indiana.

167
00:11:14,708 --> 00:11:17,708
- So this is it? This is our cause?
- Yes. Are you with me?

168
00:11:19,625 --> 00:11:21,166
- We'll have a rally!
- Yes!

169
00:11:21,250 --> 00:11:24,375
- We'll have picket signs!
- We'll make T-shirts.

170
00:11:24,458 --> 00:11:26,666
We'll get Sheldon to tag along.
He can find us a venue.

171
00:11:26,750 --> 00:11:28,208
Oh, wow!

172
00:11:28,291 --> 00:11:32,125
- Can we actually do this?
- You bet your sweet MILF ass we can!

173
00:11:36,541 --> 00:11:38,000
We are gonna prove…

174
00:12:32,541 --> 00:12:35,750
Okay, now we have got to get an anthem!

175
00:12:35,833 --> 00:12:38,375
- Like "We Are The World."
- Yes, but for lesbians.

176
00:12:38,458 --> 00:12:41,333
Steve Sondheim'll write us something.
He's a big fan of my Sweeney Todd.

177
00:12:41,416 --> 00:12:42,250
I'll handle this.

178
00:12:42,333 --> 00:12:44,291
Wait. How are we gonna get there?

179
00:12:44,375 --> 00:12:48,916
I just booked a non-union tour of <i>Godspell</i>
and it goes straight through Indiana.

180
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,333
- You can come with us on the bus.
- See? It's all coming together!

181
00:13:40,833 --> 00:13:42,666
Now let's go start a fight.

182
00:13:56,916 --> 00:13:58,458
Do you like the bears?

183
00:13:59,083 --> 00:14:01,666
Yeah, you know,
I'm pretty sure this breaks a few laws.

184
00:14:01,750 --> 00:14:06,041
- It's our way of saying thank you, Emma.
- Yeah. Thanks for canceling prom.

185
00:14:06,125 --> 00:14:08,625
I didn't cancel prom. Your parents did.

186
00:14:08,708 --> 00:14:10,166
Come on. Lay off her.

187
00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:12,500
- Oh, are you on her side now?
- No.

188
00:14:12,583 --> 00:14:15,708
I'm just not in third grade.
See you at practice.

189
00:14:16,458 --> 00:14:19,291
Unlike your social life, this isn't over.

190
00:15:23,458 --> 00:15:27,833
Hey, Emma. Hey, who's this girl
you were gonna bring to the prom, anyway?

191
00:15:27,916 --> 00:15:30,125
I didn't know we had
more than one lesbo in town.

192
00:15:30,208 --> 00:15:33,458
- You don't know her. She's new here.
- Like an exchange student?

193
00:15:34,708 --> 00:15:35,958
- Maybe.
- Mmm.

194
00:15:36,041 --> 00:15:38,833
Well, then why don't you, like,
exchange her for a guy?

195
00:15:38,916 --> 00:15:40,541
Ooh! Dude! Nice!

196
00:16:36,750 --> 00:16:39,625
Okay. I just got off the phone
with the state's attorney.

197
00:16:39,708 --> 00:16:43,625
She thinks this is a civil rights issue.
This is a big deal, Emma.

198
00:16:43,708 --> 00:16:45,041
So, what are you saying?

199
00:16:45,125 --> 00:16:48,208
I'm just saying I'm really excited
to be a part of something like this.

200
00:16:48,291 --> 00:16:50,166
We'll see how the PTA meeting goes.

201
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:52,791
Well, it's not gonna be fun.
We'll get through it.

202
00:16:52,875 --> 00:16:54,708
Just take a sec. Relax.

203
00:17:41,208 --> 00:17:43,416
- Blue one. Blue.
- This stop motion sickness?

204
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:44,916
Mmm-hmm, and everything else.

205
00:17:46,291 --> 00:17:48,000
Okay. Enough! Enough!

206
00:17:48,083 --> 00:17:50,833
Stop singing, stop!
You're making me hate God.

207
00:17:50,916 --> 00:17:53,416
- You're scaring them.
- They're scaring me.

208
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:55,416
How about we do some trust exercises?

209
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:57,833
Yeah? Good.

210
00:17:57,916 --> 00:18:02,833
Hotel is booked. Breakfast isn't included,
but there is a Waffle Shed next door.

211
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:04,750
- Sounds delicious.
- Mmm-hmm.

212
00:18:04,833 --> 00:18:09,083
We're doing a great thing here.
We're being great people.

213
00:18:09,166 --> 00:18:10,958
This is all great.

214
00:18:12,083 --> 00:18:14,750
This is gonna get me my third Tony Award.

215
00:18:14,833 --> 00:18:17,083
- Oh, my God.
- What?

216
00:18:17,958 --> 00:18:22,000
Oh, come on, you know
how political the Tonys are.

217
00:18:22,083 --> 00:18:25,041
They don't vote for you.
They vote for your brand.

218
00:18:25,125 --> 00:18:28,208
My brand is
a little tarnished at the moment.

219
00:18:28,291 --> 00:18:30,708
'Cause of the infamous tirade
at the Longacre Theatre?

220
00:18:30,791 --> 00:18:34,083
When a cell phone goes off
in the middle of a performance…

221
00:18:34,166 --> 00:18:36,291
- I can't be held responsible.
- It was your cell phone!

222
00:18:36,375 --> 00:18:38,958
- I didn't know that!
- It was in your wig!

223
00:18:39,041 --> 00:18:41,375
I didn't know that at the time. Anyway…

224
00:18:42,041 --> 00:18:47,291
All the goodwill that we're gonna get
from this thing will wash me clean,

225
00:18:47,375 --> 00:18:51,333
and I will win, no matter what
my next project is.

226
00:18:51,416 --> 00:18:54,291
You're just greedy.
I'd be happy with one Tony.

227
00:18:54,375 --> 00:18:57,458
- I thought I had a shot with FDR.
- Mmm-hmm.

228
00:18:57,541 --> 00:18:59,208
I need a win.

229
00:18:59,291 --> 00:19:02,833
I'm so sick of all the rejection.
I'm no Dee Dee Allen.

230
00:19:02,916 --> 00:19:05,541
- A lot of bile.
- Well, I'm angry at life.

231
00:19:05,625 --> 00:19:07,958
No, I mean Trent. He's retching again.

232
00:19:08,625 --> 00:19:11,333
You were saying something about your…

233
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,625
I got into this business,
yes, because I loved it,

234
00:19:14,708 --> 00:19:17,875
but also to prove
to everyone who doubted me,

235
00:19:17,958 --> 00:19:23,375
my… teachers, the kids
on the school bus, my horrible parents,

236
00:19:23,458 --> 00:19:26,000
that I could do something.
Something important.

237
00:19:26,625 --> 00:19:29,875
That's exactly what we are doing.

238
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:32,208
Something important.

239
00:19:33,375 --> 00:19:35,416
I just hope we don't screw it up.

240
00:19:37,666 --> 00:19:38,958
Hit it.

241
00:19:51,833 --> 00:19:55,291
I'm sorry, you're telling us
that the state's attorney

242
00:19:55,375 --> 00:19:57,875
is forcing us to have a prom?

243
00:19:57,958 --> 00:20:01,875
No, the state's attorney
wants us to hold an inclusive prom.

244
00:20:01,958 --> 00:20:03,333
Yes.

245
00:20:03,416 --> 00:20:06,875
Because that's what they feel
best reflects America's values.

246
00:20:06,958 --> 00:20:10,208
Well, this isn't America. This is Indiana.

247
00:20:11,666 --> 00:20:12,708
All right.

248
00:20:16,208 --> 00:20:19,000
Just to be clear, this is America

249
00:20:19,083 --> 00:20:22,458
and everyone gets to have an opinion...
Oh, just like you.

250
00:20:27,041 --> 00:20:29,666
My son will not be forced
to go to a homosexual prom.

251
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,083
Thank you, Beverly! Thank you!

252
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:37,666
Again, it is not a homosexual prom.
It is an inclusive prom…

253
00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:40,083
- With homosexuals.
- You don't have to attend...

254
00:20:40,625 --> 00:20:43,083
You don't have to attend
if you don't want to.

255
00:20:43,166 --> 00:20:46,833
Look… I… I'm sorry you're upset,

256
00:20:46,916 --> 00:20:51,125
but the organization of the prom is
within the purview of the student council.

257
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:54,291
Let's hear what they have to say. Alyssa?

258
00:20:54,375 --> 00:20:56,916
Uh… Okay.

259
00:20:58,666 --> 00:21:01,833
Well, we want prom to go on, obviously.

260
00:21:04,125 --> 00:21:07,375
It's supposed to be
a celebration of all students...

261
00:21:07,458 --> 00:21:09,458
Okay. No, thank you. It's fine, everyone.

262
00:21:09,541 --> 00:21:14,208
Sweetheart, I'm so sorry,
but this is not a student matter.

263
00:21:14,291 --> 00:21:19,750
This is about government…
tearing our community apart.

264
00:21:20,750 --> 00:21:24,750
It's about big government
taking away our freedom of choice.

265
00:21:24,833 --> 00:21:26,208
Okay. Okay.

266
00:21:26,291 --> 00:21:29,083
This is not about government intervention.

267
00:21:29,166 --> 00:21:31,000
Emma, what is this about?

268
00:21:32,375 --> 00:21:34,583
I just want to go to prom
like any other kid.

269
00:21:34,666 --> 00:21:37,041
Mmm-hmm. But you can't.

270
00:21:37,125 --> 00:21:40,083
She can't, and that's why
the courts are involved.

271
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:41,375
Ask yourself.

272
00:21:42,250 --> 00:21:46,125
What exactly is it that you find
so frightening about gay people?

273
00:21:46,208 --> 00:21:48,875
Hold it! Stop! Stop!

274
00:21:48,958 --> 00:21:50,125
Hold it!

275
00:21:50,208 --> 00:21:53,833
What you are doing here is wrong.

276
00:21:54,458 --> 00:21:56,416
I'm sorry. Who are you?

277
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:59,250
Where is our girl? Where's Emma? Emma!

278
00:21:59,333 --> 00:22:00,708
I'm Emma.

279
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.

280
00:22:05,833 --> 00:22:09,250
Okay? I am as gay as a bucket of wigs.

281
00:22:09,333 --> 00:22:11,416
A bucket of them!

282
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:14,583
And we are here from New York City
and we are gonna save you.

283
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,333
Tomorrow, we will hold a rally.

284
00:22:16,416 --> 00:22:19,333
- There'll be banners and choreography.
- Excuse me.

285
00:22:19,416 --> 00:22:22,541
- Excuse me!
- Shame! Shame!

286
00:22:22,625 --> 00:22:25,125
Excuse me!

287
00:22:27,208 --> 00:22:30,416
What is going on? Who are you people?

288
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:32,250
We are liberals from Broadway.

289
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:34,625
Oh, shut up!

290
00:22:34,708 --> 00:22:38,458
We are here to open
your hearts and your minds.

291
00:22:38,541 --> 00:22:41,250
The five of us are gonna teach you…

292
00:22:41,833 --> 00:22:43,291
- Where's Dee Dee?
- You'll see.

293
00:22:44,833 --> 00:22:46,583
All right.

294
00:22:50,250 --> 00:22:52,708
Oh, my God. That's Dee Dee Allen.

295
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:19,750
Sing it, Eleanor!

296
00:24:26,208 --> 00:24:28,250
Get them out of here now!

297
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,125
No.

298
00:25:18,166 --> 00:25:19,166
That's cute.

299
00:26:42,666 --> 00:26:45,291
Who was responsible for that? Was it you?

300
00:26:45,375 --> 00:26:48,375
Me? No, I have no idea
what just happened in there.

301
00:26:48,458 --> 00:26:52,375
Strangers burst in hurling insults
at the parents, and you do nothing.

302
00:26:52,458 --> 00:26:54,791
What kind of school
are you running here, Mr. Hawkins?

303
00:27:01,333 --> 00:27:04,083
Excuse me, Miss Allen.
I'm Tom. Tom Hawkins.

304
00:27:04,166 --> 00:27:08,333
I am the principal and I just, um…
What are you doing?

305
00:27:08,416 --> 00:27:10,583
We have come to show this community

306
00:27:10,666 --> 00:27:14,208
that gay people
and gay-positive icons, such as myself,

307
00:27:14,291 --> 00:27:16,791
are made of the same
flesh and blood as they are.

308
00:27:17,833 --> 00:27:21,833
If they don't have gay people here,
why is my Scruff going crazy right now?

309
00:27:21,916 --> 00:27:23,333
We're not monsters.

310
00:27:24,083 --> 00:27:26,291
We're cultural disruptors.

311
00:27:27,250 --> 00:27:28,250
I'm a fan.

312
00:27:31,666 --> 00:27:35,083
- Really?
- Yeah. Yes, I am.

313
00:27:36,708 --> 00:27:41,583
What kind of a fan?
Big fan? Small fan? Scary stabby fan?

314
00:27:41,666 --> 00:27:44,125
You could say that I'm a big fan. Yes.

315
00:27:44,208 --> 00:27:48,916
Really? That's so surprising
because you're not my usual demographic.

316
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
- You mean Black?
- No, straight.

317
00:27:52,166 --> 00:27:54,041
You are straight, right?

318
00:27:54,125 --> 00:27:57,250
Yes. I am.
Straight people like Broadway too.

319
00:27:57,333 --> 00:28:01,208
I've heard that.
Always thought it was a fairy tale.

320
00:28:01,291 --> 00:28:05,500
- So to speak.
- So to speak. Well, it's true.

321
00:28:05,583 --> 00:28:07,541
Um, I've been a fan since I saw you

322
00:28:07,625 --> 00:28:09,541
in the show for which
you won your first Tony.

323
00:28:09,625 --> 00:28:12,583
- No! You saw <i>Swallow the Moon?</i>
- I did.

324
00:28:12,666 --> 00:28:16,958
The number at the top of the second act,
"The Lady's Improving"? Chills.

325
00:28:17,041 --> 00:28:19,833
That song made me a star.

326
00:28:19,916 --> 00:28:21,375
It made me a fan.

327
00:28:21,458 --> 00:28:24,125
- Uh, Dee Dee, we gotta make haste.
- Okay.

328
00:28:24,208 --> 00:28:26,958
Uh, Miss Allen, I just…
This is a very delicate situation.

329
00:28:27,041 --> 00:28:29,958
I'm asking you and your friends
to back off for a few days.

330
00:28:30,458 --> 00:28:32,291
- Back off?
- Yeah.

331
00:28:32,916 --> 00:28:35,416
Backing off
is exactly what we're not going to do.

332
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:39,500
I see what's happening here.
You're trying to disarm me with flattery.

333
00:28:39,583 --> 00:28:43,666
It's not going to work, Tom.
Flattery makes me stronger.

334
00:28:43,750 --> 00:28:45,625
Fuels my ego.

335
00:29:03,625 --> 00:29:06,541
- That was insane.
- I know.

336
00:29:06,625 --> 00:29:08,958
- I'm really freaking out.
- Don't freak out.

337
00:29:09,041 --> 00:29:10,916
We have a plan, remember?

338
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,416
We're gonna get dressed up and go to prom

339
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:17,250
and be together in public,
not hide anymore.

340
00:29:17,875 --> 00:29:19,166
Are you sure about this?

341
00:29:19,958 --> 00:29:22,250
There's only one thing I'm sure about.

342
00:31:22,833 --> 00:31:25,250
It's my mom. I gotta go.

343
00:31:26,083 --> 00:31:27,083
Okay.

344
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:29,833
Bye…

345
00:31:54,750 --> 00:31:56,541
Oh, God.

346
00:31:58,791 --> 00:32:00,416
It's worse than the bus.

347
00:32:01,125 --> 00:32:03,458
At least it's quieter. Huh?

348
00:32:04,041 --> 00:32:06,333
I need a drink.

349
00:32:06,416 --> 00:32:08,125
Hello?

350
00:32:09,958 --> 00:32:13,458
Oh. Dickinson, four rooms.
I called yesterday.

351
00:32:13,541 --> 00:32:15,625
Four rooms of varying size

352
00:32:15,708 --> 00:32:18,500
to reflect the hierarchy
of the company, right?

353
00:32:19,541 --> 00:32:21,083
Where is my suite?

354
00:32:21,750 --> 00:32:23,250
We don't have a suite.

355
00:32:28,083 --> 00:32:30,166
- Now do you have a suite?
- Oh!

356
00:32:30,916 --> 00:32:34,166
No, we don't have any suites.
All the rooms are the same.

357
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:37,958
Surely you know who I am.

358
00:32:38,041 --> 00:32:41,291
At the very least,
I would like a room next to the spa.

359
00:32:41,375 --> 00:32:43,166
Uh, there's no spa.

360
00:32:43,750 --> 00:32:46,958
Angie, what is this place?
We're all gonna get stabbed and stuffed.

361
00:32:47,041 --> 00:32:49,583
- You know that, right?
- Orbitz gave it three stars!

362
00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:54,041
Do you have any cabins?

363
00:32:54,666 --> 00:32:56,375
No, we don't have any cabins.

364
00:33:04,958 --> 00:33:07,416
- How about now?
- What is that?

365
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:09,750
It's a Drama Desk. You know what it is.

366
00:33:10,416 --> 00:33:13,208
- I vomited in the bus again.
- Mmm.

367
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:15,125
Can I see the hotel doctor, please?

368
00:33:15,208 --> 00:33:16,958
Oh, my God, it's you.

369
00:33:17,041 --> 00:33:19,541
I can't believe it. It's actually you.

370
00:33:19,625 --> 00:33:22,875
You're the guy from <i>Talk to the Hand.</i>
It's on every night at 9:00 after...

371
00:33:22,958 --> 00:33:26,541
- Can I have my room, please?
- Okay, let's get started. All right?

372
00:33:26,625 --> 00:33:28,750
- Let's change some minds.
- Uh…

373
00:33:28,833 --> 00:33:29,958
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

374
00:33:30,041 --> 00:33:32,458
Oh! A wishing well!

375
00:33:32,541 --> 00:33:34,333
Make a wish, Dee Dee.

376
00:33:34,416 --> 00:33:36,041
Death. I wish for death.

377
00:33:36,125 --> 00:33:40,041
Okay, Sheldon's working on a venue.
Now, how's the song?

378
00:33:40,125 --> 00:33:44,833
Uh, about that.
I was misled by my representation.

379
00:33:44,916 --> 00:33:48,625
Mr. Sondheim is not a fan
of my Sweeney Todd.

380
00:33:48,708 --> 00:33:51,208
- Quite the opposite, actually.
- Oh, my God…

381
00:33:51,291 --> 00:33:54,125
Jesus, Trent, you screwed us.

382
00:33:54,208 --> 00:33:58,625
Don't worry.
I wrote something myself. Yeah.

383
00:34:00,833 --> 00:34:02,958
It's quite rousing,

384
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:05,958
and in a very humane key.

385
00:34:06,041 --> 00:34:08,375
The <i>Godspell</i> kids will back us up,

386
00:34:08,458 --> 00:34:11,625
and they have their own costumes.
You're welcome.

387
00:34:13,208 --> 00:34:16,166
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah!

388
00:34:16,250 --> 00:34:18,125
This is awful.

389
00:34:18,208 --> 00:34:20,500
We can't perform this.
They'll boo us off the stage.

390
00:34:20,583 --> 00:34:24,041
No, all we need is a simple message
that tugs at the heartstrings

391
00:34:24,125 --> 00:34:25,333
and a little pageantry.

392
00:34:25,416 --> 00:34:28,625
- We have everything we need right here.
- Except a venue.

393
00:34:28,708 --> 00:34:30,666
O ye of little faith.

394
00:34:31,250 --> 00:34:35,375
I got one!
And a crowd of 2,500 guaranteed.

395
00:34:35,458 --> 00:34:38,083
- What?
- That's amazing!

396
00:34:38,166 --> 00:34:40,541
What is it? One of those
beautiful Antebellum theaters?

397
00:34:40,625 --> 00:34:42,458
No, it's, uh…

398
00:34:43,208 --> 00:34:44,208
An arena.

399
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,500
An arena?

400
00:35:03,458 --> 00:35:05,291
So it's come to this.

401
00:35:15,958 --> 00:35:17,666
<i>Ladies and gentlemen,</i>

402
00:35:18,500 --> 00:35:22,291
<i>Truckosaurus,
the car-eating robot dinosaur,</i>

403
00:35:22,375 --> 00:35:25,333
<i>will not be your
half-time entertainment today.</i>

404
00:35:25,416 --> 00:35:28,458
<i>Instead, we have some guests
who've come from New York</i>

405
00:35:28,541 --> 00:35:30,666
<i>to sing us a song about intolerance.</i>

406
00:35:30,750 --> 00:35:32,250
Hi there.

407
00:35:32,333 --> 00:35:36,208
I'm Trent Oliver, actor, activist…

408
00:35:37,125 --> 00:35:38,875
And Juilliard graduate.

409
00:35:38,958 --> 00:35:41,625
Emma, this one's for you.

410
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:43,541
<i>Ladies and gentlemen, two-time</i>
<i>Tony Award winner, Miss Dee Dee Allen.</i>

411
00:36:43,625 --> 00:36:47,000
- Trent, I could rip your face off.
- I'm sorry.

412
00:36:47,083 --> 00:36:49,833
You made me fail.
I am so sick of failing.

413
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:51,250
What do we do now?

414
00:36:51,333 --> 00:36:52,375
We leave.

415
00:36:52,958 --> 00:36:56,291
- First we kill Trent, then we leave.
- What about the girl?

416
00:36:56,375 --> 00:36:58,583
Hello, everyone…

417
00:36:59,791 --> 00:37:03,458
We have some news. Emma and I
wanted to be the ones to tell you,

418
00:37:03,541 --> 00:37:07,750
thanks to pressure from the state's
attorney's office, prom is back on!

419
00:37:07,833 --> 00:37:09,708
- What?
- Prom is back on!

420
00:37:09,791 --> 00:37:11,666
We did it!

421
00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:12,625
Yay!

422
00:37:12,708 --> 00:37:16,041
See? We're not narcissists.

423
00:37:16,125 --> 00:37:18,416
Just to be clear, uh,
it's not because of you…

424
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:19,708
Well, maybe it was.

425
00:37:19,791 --> 00:37:23,000
I mean, everybody started freaking out
when you got here.

426
00:37:23,083 --> 00:37:26,791
The lawyer might've had legal power,
but you really scared people.

427
00:37:26,875 --> 00:37:28,208
- Aw!
- We scared people!

428
00:37:28,291 --> 00:37:29,958
Important thing is, it's a victory.

429
00:37:30,041 --> 00:37:31,916
Now you get to go to prom
like everybody else!

430
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,125
- Yes!
- What are you gonna wear?

431
00:37:34,208 --> 00:37:38,041
I was thinking like a vintage tux
and some high tops.

432
00:37:38,125 --> 00:37:40,083
I don't know. Does it matter?

433
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:42,750
Does it…

434
00:37:45,875 --> 00:37:49,166
- Honey…
- Sweetheart, boo-boo.

435
00:37:49,250 --> 00:37:51,625
I don't know you, okay?
And you don't know me,

436
00:37:51,708 --> 00:37:56,083
but I am begging you,
let me dress you for the prom.

437
00:37:56,166 --> 00:37:57,750
- Okay? Yeah?
- Okay.

438
00:37:57,833 --> 00:37:59,625
We're going to Saks.

439
00:37:59,708 --> 00:38:02,166
- Uh, there's no Saks here.
- We have a Kmart!

440
00:38:02,250 --> 00:38:03,958
- A what?
- A Kmart.

441
00:38:06,208 --> 00:38:08,208
Fine.

442
00:38:09,166 --> 00:38:11,791
We'll check out
the Reba McEntire collection at Kmart,

443
00:38:11,875 --> 00:38:12,916
do a little fashion show.

444
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,625
Okay! Oh, can we do it tomorrow?
We can meet at my place.

445
00:38:16,708 --> 00:38:18,875
I have to go and find out
if I still have a date.

446
00:38:18,958 --> 00:38:20,875
Sure. I'll go ahead, do a pre-shop.

447
00:38:20,958 --> 00:38:23,458
Okay? Will you give me a ride
in your pickup truck?

448
00:38:23,541 --> 00:38:26,166
Are you saying that because I'm a lesbian,
I drive a pickup?

449
00:38:26,250 --> 00:38:28,708
- Well, do you?
- Shut up.

450
00:38:28,791 --> 00:38:30,791
- Anybody hungry?
- I could drink.

451
00:38:30,875 --> 00:38:33,916
- What's around here?
- I saw a Big Boy by the highway.

452
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,208
- Ooh, they have a gay bar here?
- I love Big Boy.

453
00:38:37,291 --> 00:38:40,625
Oh, gay bar. Can't go. I'd be mobbed.

454
00:38:40,708 --> 00:38:42,208
Oh! Of course.

455
00:38:46,541 --> 00:38:49,166
- So, it's nice to see Emma smile again.
- Yes.

456
00:38:49,250 --> 00:38:50,875
She's had a rough go of it.

457
00:38:50,958 --> 00:38:53,416
I gathered that. Yeah.

458
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:56,166
- Even before the prom controversy.
- Oh?

459
00:38:56,250 --> 00:39:00,375
When she came out, her parents,
well, they threw her out of the house.

460
00:39:01,750 --> 00:39:04,916
- Really?
- Yeah. Yeah. She was 16.

461
00:39:05,541 --> 00:39:07,458
- It was, uh, pretty ugly.
- Oh…

462
00:39:10,333 --> 00:39:12,000
Anyway, um…

463
00:39:12,916 --> 00:39:14,458
Thank you for helping her…

464
00:39:15,625 --> 00:39:18,166
Or trying to.

465
00:39:18,958 --> 00:39:20,125
Yeah…

466
00:39:23,833 --> 00:39:25,791
- Uh, Tom?
- Yes, yeah?

467
00:39:26,583 --> 00:39:31,000
Is there a restaurant in town
that has plates and cutlery and…

468
00:39:31,083 --> 00:39:33,833
Oh, uh, there's an Applebee's by the mall.

469
00:39:37,583 --> 00:39:39,000
- Would you like to go?
- Yes.

470
00:39:39,083 --> 00:39:42,666
Take me now to this Apples & Bees place.

471
00:39:42,750 --> 00:39:43,666
All right.

472
00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:45,416
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

473
00:39:45,500 --> 00:39:46,750
How nice of you.

474
00:39:49,833 --> 00:39:52,000
- Guess what today is?
- What?

475
00:39:52,083 --> 00:39:53,541
Promposal day!

476
00:39:53,625 --> 00:39:54,625
Hey, Kaylee!

477
00:40:34,250 --> 00:40:36,750
- You're such an idiot. Yes!
- Whoo!

478
00:40:37,916 --> 00:40:39,500
Hey, Shelby, you're next.

479
00:41:14,791 --> 00:41:16,416
<i>Sí! Sí, señor!</i>

480
00:41:22,541 --> 00:41:25,666
You did it.
No, you actually did it.

481
00:41:25,750 --> 00:41:27,583
We have a prom because of you.

482
00:41:27,666 --> 00:41:31,375
It's like a love bomb went off.
I've seen six promposals today.

483
00:41:31,458 --> 00:41:34,708
People are gonna see us
dancing together and kissing.

484
00:41:34,791 --> 00:41:37,125
It's gonna be impossible not to kiss you.

485
00:41:37,708 --> 00:41:41,041
Oh, my God, and you know,
what's my mom going to think?

486
00:41:41,125 --> 00:41:44,000
I mean, she'll be in public,
so she can't totally freak out.

487
00:41:44,083 --> 00:41:48,291
It doesn't matter what she does.
This is about us.

488
00:41:48,875 --> 00:41:52,208
This is about us finally being us.

489
00:42:29,583 --> 00:42:32,625
I save all of my money.
I go to New York every summer.

490
00:42:32,708 --> 00:42:34,958
- I see as many Broadway shows as I can.
- Oh.

491
00:42:35,041 --> 00:42:37,041
When I run out of money,
I second act them.

492
00:42:37,125 --> 00:42:38,833
Don't tell anybody.

493
00:42:38,916 --> 00:42:40,666
Bad!

494
00:42:41,458 --> 00:42:44,916
My point is,
I've seen you many, many times.

495
00:42:46,291 --> 00:42:47,916
Mr. Hawkins.

496
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,291
Mrs. Greene.

497
00:42:50,375 --> 00:42:52,041
Hello. I'm Dee Dee Allen.

498
00:42:52,125 --> 00:42:53,875
- We haven't officially met.
- No.

499
00:42:53,958 --> 00:42:56,250
- Hello. Dee Dee Allen.
- We're aware.

500
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

501
00:43:03,166 --> 00:43:06,125
and Broadway in particular.
That's a community.

502
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,000
But you don't know us.
You don't know this town and our values.

503
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,625
No, well, I'm just here
advocating on behalf of a young girl

504
00:43:15,708 --> 00:43:20,333
whose voice perhaps is not heard
by some in the community.

505
00:43:20,916 --> 00:43:26,458
Yes. Well, perhaps you should stick
to acting instead of activism.

506
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:29,708
Enjoy your meal.

507
00:43:34,708 --> 00:43:37,291
We didn't mean
to make anything worse here.

508
00:43:37,375 --> 00:43:39,250
I appreciate everything that you're doing.

509
00:43:40,583 --> 00:43:42,125
Well, let's just drop it.

510
00:43:42,208 --> 00:43:43,041
Yeah.

511
00:43:43,875 --> 00:43:45,458
Tell me…

512
00:43:46,083 --> 00:43:48,333
I've never said this before to anyone.

513
00:43:49,375 --> 00:43:50,791
Tell me about you.

514
00:43:52,125 --> 00:43:54,000
- About me?
- Yeah.

515
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,958
I don't know.
I'm just a small-town principal.

516
00:43:59,833 --> 00:44:05,083
Uh, you know, it can be frustrating,
but, uh, at least I have a job.

517
00:44:05,166 --> 00:44:06,458
Yeah, lucky you.

518
00:44:06,541 --> 00:44:07,416
Single.

519
00:44:08,708 --> 00:44:09,541
Sorry?

520
00:44:10,250 --> 00:44:12,500
I'm single. Just putting that out there.

521
00:44:13,083 --> 00:44:14,833
Really?

522
00:44:16,416 --> 00:44:18,625
I'm surprised.

523
00:44:18,708 --> 00:44:21,000
Oh, well, I'm surprised you're surprised.

524
00:44:21,083 --> 00:44:23,625
The two things
I'm most passionate about in the world

525
00:44:23,708 --> 00:44:26,291
are Broadway musicals
and secondary school administration.

526
00:44:27,375 --> 00:44:31,958
I typed that into a dating website once,
and a little message popped up that said,

527
00:44:32,041 --> 00:44:34,125
"You will have zero matches forever."

528
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,791
But you're so smart
and you're really good-looking.

529
00:44:40,875 --> 00:44:42,250
Well, if I…

530
00:44:43,041 --> 00:44:44,125
Thank you.

531
00:44:45,375 --> 00:44:47,791
It's just, I look at people like you,

532
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:52,333
and I just think how lucky you are
to be surrounded by your people.

533
00:44:52,416 --> 00:44:54,291
My wh... My people?

534
00:44:54,375 --> 00:44:57,250
I wasn't born on Broadway. You know?

535
00:44:58,333 --> 00:45:00,625
I'm from Zelienople, Pennsylvania.

536
00:45:01,333 --> 00:45:03,333
Yeah, I grew up dirt poor.

537
00:45:05,750 --> 00:45:08,333
This whole…

538
00:45:09,041 --> 00:45:11,583
All this, I invented it.

539
00:45:12,166 --> 00:45:15,291
Yeah. I'm just a small-town girl and…

540
00:45:17,125 --> 00:45:19,000
- I had a big dream.
- Hmm.

541
00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:25,041
Single, just putting it out there.

542
00:45:28,125 --> 00:45:30,333
Well, I'm divorced.

543
00:45:30,416 --> 00:45:33,208
Oh, I think I read about that.
Eddie Sharpe, the talk show host?

544
00:45:33,291 --> 00:45:34,958
Yeah, right.

545
00:45:35,041 --> 00:45:39,125
It lasted 15 heart-pulverizing years.

546
00:45:42,291 --> 00:45:46,375
I imagine it must be hard being
Dee Dee Allen, being a Broadway star.

547
00:45:46,458 --> 00:45:49,041
You know, it is hard.

548
00:45:50,625 --> 00:45:53,000
Sometimes I think I really…
I just want to quit.

549
00:45:53,083 --> 00:45:56,666
No. No, please, you can't...
You can't do that.

550
00:45:56,750 --> 00:45:58,208
Why not?

551
00:45:58,791 --> 00:46:00,958
Because I need you to do what you do.

552
00:46:30,083 --> 00:46:33,208
So, theater's a distraction.
Is that what you mean?

553
00:46:33,291 --> 00:46:37,083
A distraction is momentary.
An escape helps you heal.

554
00:47:54,291 --> 00:47:57,583
You make it sound so beautiful.

555
00:48:49,708 --> 00:48:52,625
- That's a nice picture.
- Oh, it's terrible.

556
00:48:53,166 --> 00:48:57,000
Look at the backdrop.
Clouds? What, are we flying?

557
00:48:57,083 --> 00:48:58,166
It's sweet.

558
00:48:58,916 --> 00:49:00,000
Well…

559
00:49:00,875 --> 00:49:04,250
You know, she needed proof
she was still part of the family,

560
00:49:04,333 --> 00:49:07,750
and nothing says family
like a Sears family portrait.

561
00:49:08,583 --> 00:49:11,458
- Is there booze in this?
- There sure is.

562
00:49:11,541 --> 00:49:14,500
- When you said lemonade…
- Well, it's Indiana lemonade.

563
00:49:14,583 --> 00:49:18,541
Okay, it's official. I love you.
You're the cool grandmother I never had.

564
00:49:19,375 --> 00:49:23,041
Hey, let me ask you something.
What happened with Emma?

565
00:49:25,750 --> 00:49:27,833
You're not a mother,
so you can't know what it's like

566
00:49:27,916 --> 00:49:30,375
to see your own daughter
give up her child.

567
00:49:30,458 --> 00:49:31,791
I'm sorry.

568
00:49:31,875 --> 00:49:36,000
When Emma came out,
oh, they could not handle it.

569
00:49:39,041 --> 00:49:41,625
To bad parents and their broken progeny.

570
00:49:42,875 --> 00:49:45,708
Although Emma is fine. She's a strong kid.

571
00:49:47,208 --> 00:49:48,958
Oh, I wasn't talking about her.

572
00:49:50,625 --> 00:49:52,875
What? You got kicked out too?

573
00:49:53,708 --> 00:49:56,125
Well, I left before they could do that.

574
00:49:59,166 --> 00:50:02,708
So the only
nice dress I have is this.

575
00:50:02,791 --> 00:50:03,666
Wow.

576
00:50:04,666 --> 00:50:08,375
Okay, I mean, yeah, yep,
you could wear that to prom

577
00:50:08,458 --> 00:50:09,583
or keep it lying around

578
00:50:09,666 --> 00:50:12,083
in case there's a remake of
<i>Little House on the Prairie.</i>

579
00:50:12,166 --> 00:50:14,875
Okay. That's it. I like him.

580
00:50:14,958 --> 00:50:17,458
Emma, please let me
dress you for this prom.

581
00:50:17,541 --> 00:50:22,500
I don't know. This is all so crazy.
What did you wear to your prom?

582
00:50:22,583 --> 00:50:25,916
Well, I was going to wear a silver tux,

583
00:50:26,541 --> 00:50:29,333
<i>aqua accessories, the whole look.</i>

584
00:50:29,416 --> 00:50:32,500
<i>I waited outside, anxious to see my crush,</i>

585
00:50:32,583 --> 00:50:35,333
<i>but when I saw him with his date, I froze.</i>

586
00:50:36,083 --> 00:50:37,416
<i>I couldn't go in.</i>

587
00:50:38,291 --> 00:50:40,291
<i>I didn't have your courage.</i>

588
00:50:41,291 --> 00:50:42,666
This isn't about me.

589
00:50:43,708 --> 00:50:45,041
This is about you.

590
00:50:45,125 --> 00:50:48,625
And I promise you are going
to have the night of your life.

591
00:50:49,166 --> 00:50:50,500
What is your date wearing?

592
00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:52,750
I don't know.

593
00:50:54,333 --> 00:50:56,583
I've never been to her house before.

594
00:50:57,291 --> 00:50:58,916
Her mom doesn't know about us.

595
00:50:59,625 --> 00:51:01,083
How long have you been together?

596
00:51:01,916 --> 00:51:03,541
- A year and a half.
- Oh, honey.

597
00:51:03,625 --> 00:51:07,250
But she's coming out tonight, big time.
That's the plan.

598
00:51:09,208 --> 00:51:10,583
I'm really scared.

599
00:51:11,750 --> 00:51:13,166
Would you get over here?

600
00:51:13,916 --> 00:51:17,708
The point is you are brave.

601
00:51:17,791 --> 00:51:19,875
You made all this happen.

602
00:51:19,958 --> 00:51:23,041
When you walk into that gym tonight,
you know what people are gonna see?

603
00:51:23,125 --> 00:51:25,875
They're going to see
the bravest person on the planet.

604
00:51:25,958 --> 00:51:29,625
This is so hard.
Does every girl go through this?

605
00:51:29,708 --> 00:51:31,625
Yes, all across town,

606
00:51:31,708 --> 00:51:35,125
<i>girls are spraying on their tans
and whitening their teeth,</i>

607
00:51:35,208 --> 00:51:38,791
<i>trying to look their best for the prom,
but they're wasting their time</i>

608
00:51:38,875 --> 00:51:42,500
because they don't have the glow
that you have right now.

609
00:51:43,916 --> 00:51:47,375
I trust you completely,
and that's kind of scary too.

610
00:51:47,458 --> 00:51:50,041
Can we please go shop? Can we mall it?

611
00:51:50,791 --> 00:51:53,708
- Is that okay?
- Yes, mall the hell out of it!

612
00:51:53,791 --> 00:51:55,333
- Let's go.
- Okay!

613
00:51:55,416 --> 00:51:57,708
But get changed. This is disgusting.

614
00:52:25,125 --> 00:52:26,625
I think I'll pass.

615
00:53:13,375 --> 00:53:14,208
It fits!

616
00:53:14,916 --> 00:53:17,958
Now, whatever we choose,
you've gotta remember to sell it.

617
00:53:18,041 --> 00:53:19,291
How do I do that?

618
00:53:19,375 --> 00:53:21,583
Allow Miss Glickman to demonstrate.

619
00:53:46,041 --> 00:53:46,875
Come on!

620
00:54:03,666 --> 00:54:04,833
Yes, ma'am!

621
00:54:09,250 --> 00:54:10,250
What?

622
00:54:14,208 --> 00:54:16,791
Oh, God,
I can't believe this is finally happening.

623
00:54:16,875 --> 00:54:19,458
I know.
She almost ruined it for all of us.

624
00:54:19,541 --> 00:54:21,666
Well, what goes around comes around.

625
00:54:21,750 --> 00:54:24,541
- You look hot.
- You look so hot.

626
00:55:16,666 --> 00:55:19,583
Alyssa, you look so beautiful.

627
00:55:19,666 --> 00:55:22,291
You should always
wear your hair like this.

628
00:55:22,375 --> 00:55:23,708
- Mom.
- Yeah?

629
00:55:23,791 --> 00:55:26,125
I just want you to know
what's gonna happen tonight.

630
00:55:26,208 --> 00:55:28,541
No. Can we not spoil this, please?

631
00:55:28,625 --> 00:55:32,416
I have worked so hard for tonight.
I have a right to enjoy it too.

632
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,416
You are going to have
a wonderful prom like a normal girl.

633
00:55:36,500 --> 00:55:40,208
- I've made sure of that.
- What is that supposed to mean?

634
00:57:22,666 --> 00:57:25,333
Wait there.
I'll get the door. Okay? Okay.

635
00:57:26,750 --> 00:57:28,958
- Are you ready?
- We're ready. We can't wait.

636
00:57:29,041 --> 00:57:32,166
- Here, hold this. I wanna get the picture.
- Okay. here we go.

637
00:57:32,250 --> 00:57:34,166
- Wow.
- Oh, my God!

638
00:57:34,250 --> 00:57:36,833
Look at you!

639
00:57:36,916 --> 00:57:38,208
You look amazing!

640
00:57:38,291 --> 00:57:40,291
Are you sure it's not too girly?

641
00:57:40,375 --> 00:57:44,625
Aw. No, it's just
the right amount of girly.

642
00:57:45,416 --> 00:57:47,041
- You did well.
- Right?

643
00:57:47,541 --> 00:57:48,625
Hey, where's your date?

644
00:57:48,708 --> 00:57:52,166
We're meeting in the gym.
She's still a little shy about all this.

645
00:57:53,291 --> 00:57:55,791
Well, this is where we leave you.

646
00:57:55,875 --> 00:57:57,833
Our work here is done.

647
00:57:58,958 --> 00:58:01,541
You go. You have the time of your life.

648
00:58:01,625 --> 00:58:04,208
Can you walk me in? I'm a little nervous.

649
00:58:04,958 --> 00:58:08,041
Of course. Hey, hold on tight.

650
00:58:08,125 --> 00:58:09,083
- Ready?
- Yep.

651
00:58:09,166 --> 00:58:11,166
- Clutch in this hand.
- Oh, sorry!

652
00:58:11,250 --> 00:58:12,083
Aw.

653
00:58:12,625 --> 00:58:13,625
Come on.

654
00:58:13,708 --> 00:58:15,916
- Who wants punch?
- Only if it's spiked.

655
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,500
The walk away. The cute little truck.

656
00:58:29,458 --> 00:58:31,166
- We're doin' it!
- Go ahead.

657
00:58:39,083 --> 00:58:40,208
What's going on?

658
00:58:40,291 --> 00:58:42,125
I'm putting the pieces together.
Gimme a sec.

659
00:58:42,208 --> 00:58:45,083
- What is happening?
- Where is everybody?

660
00:58:45,166 --> 00:58:49,833
Something is really wrong.
The whole parking lot is completely empty.

661
00:58:49,916 --> 00:58:52,708
God. What's the theme
of this prom? Death row?

662
00:58:52,791 --> 00:58:55,833
Mr. Hawkins, where are all the kids?
I don't understand.

663
00:58:56,416 --> 00:58:58,500
Mom, what's happening?
Why aren't we at the gym?

664
00:58:58,583 --> 00:59:02,416
At the last minute, there was a problem,
so we had to change venues.

665
00:59:02,500 --> 00:59:04,375
No, Mom, what's going on?

666
00:59:04,458 --> 00:59:07,083
The courts told the PTA
they had to hold an inclusive prom.

667
00:59:07,166 --> 00:59:11,041
Don't worry. It's fine.
We did what we were required to do.

668
00:59:11,125 --> 00:59:12,500
There was some resistance.

669
00:59:12,583 --> 00:59:17,583
So the parents met without my knowledge,
and they've organized two proms.

670
00:59:17,666 --> 00:59:20,333
One for the kids
at the Elks Lodge in town.

671
00:59:20,416 --> 00:59:22,750
And this one just for you.

672
00:59:22,833 --> 00:59:25,541
- We gave her a prom.
- You did what?

673
00:59:25,625 --> 00:59:27,416
Wait, no, no.

674
00:59:27,500 --> 00:59:31,083
I got texts from kids at school.
Everybody said it was here.

675
00:59:31,166 --> 00:59:34,375
And they were lying to you.
It was part of the plan.

676
00:59:34,458 --> 00:59:36,666
- You lied to me.
- Oh, yeah? Who's the liar?

677
00:59:36,750 --> 00:59:40,125
We know about you and Emma,
and trust me, we're doing you a favor.

678
00:59:42,625 --> 00:59:43,458
No.

679
00:59:43,541 --> 00:59:47,333
- Oh, my God. This is so cruel.
- I'm gonna cry.

680
00:59:47,416 --> 00:59:50,125
Okay, honey. Look at me.

681
00:59:50,208 --> 00:59:51,291
- Angie.
- Yeah.

682
00:59:51,375 --> 00:59:53,375
- I want to go home.
- I know you do.

683
00:59:53,458 --> 00:59:57,083
- This isn't happening.
- And you got us, and this is awful.

684
00:59:57,166 --> 00:59:59,125
- No, no.
- Honey.

685
01:00:50,041 --> 01:00:52,458
- Alyssa?
- I swear I had no idea.

686
01:00:52,541 --> 01:00:55,250
How could you not know?
You were on the prom committee.

687
01:00:55,333 --> 01:00:57,125
It was Shelby and Kaylee.

688
01:00:57,208 --> 01:01:01,041
They figured out we were together
and they made sure I didn't find out.

689
01:01:01,125 --> 01:01:03,625
- They didn't want me to tell you.
- Then come meet me.

690
01:01:04,625 --> 01:01:05,583
I can't.

691
01:01:05,666 --> 01:01:07,458
<i>Look, my mother's here.</i>

692
01:01:07,541 --> 01:01:11,000
Well, leave her.
Tell her you're gay!

693
01:01:11,083 --> 01:01:13,958
Tell her we're in love.
That was the plan, wasn't it?

694
01:01:14,791 --> 01:01:16,125
I'm really sorry.

695
01:01:17,833 --> 01:01:20,250
Have fun at the normal person's prom.

696
01:01:20,333 --> 01:01:21,916
Wait. Emma.

697
01:01:22,583 --> 01:01:23,458
Emma!

698
01:01:27,583 --> 01:01:31,833
Okay. Here's what we're gonna do.
We are going to that prom, okay?

699
01:01:31,916 --> 01:01:34,541
They can't stop us.
We will march into that room...

700
01:01:34,625 --> 01:01:37,625
No! No, enough.

701
01:01:38,458 --> 01:01:40,791
This is already
the worst night of my life.

702
01:01:40,875 --> 01:01:43,666
Please, just stop helping me.

703
01:01:48,625 --> 01:01:50,458
Emma! Emma!

704
01:01:52,208 --> 01:01:55,625
This is a complete disaster.

705
01:01:55,708 --> 01:01:57,500
This is a PR problem.

706
01:01:57,583 --> 01:02:02,541
No, Sheldon.
We had a PR problem back in New York.

707
01:02:03,250 --> 01:02:05,208
This was supposed to solve that.

708
01:02:06,208 --> 01:02:07,250
But this…

709
01:02:08,166 --> 01:02:10,541
This is heartbreaking.

710
01:02:10,625 --> 01:02:14,833
This is why you came here? For publicity?

711
01:02:32,916 --> 01:02:35,375
I have been asked
to read a statement.

712
01:02:35,458 --> 01:02:40,125
"What happened here
was not the result of some elaborate plan

713
01:02:40,208 --> 01:02:44,708
to humiliate this girl,
as has been reported in the press."

714
01:02:44,791 --> 01:02:48,375
"The James Madison High School
Parent-Teacher Association

715
01:02:48,458 --> 01:02:51,333
felt Emma would not be safe

716
01:02:51,416 --> 01:02:54,750
if we allowed her
to attend prom with the other students

717
01:02:54,833 --> 01:02:57,166
because the uncomfortable truth

718
01:02:57,250 --> 01:03:03,041
<i>is there are people in our community
who are offended by her life choices."</i>

719
01:03:04,166 --> 01:03:08,083
I can't even wrap my head around this.
It's a nightmare. Oh, my God!

720
01:03:09,416 --> 01:03:11,750
I wanna be the cockeyed optimist here

721
01:03:11,833 --> 01:03:14,166
'cause I played Nellie Forbush
in <i>South Pacific.</i>

722
01:03:14,250 --> 01:03:16,458
It was a dinner theater production, but…

723
01:03:19,041 --> 01:03:21,416
This is horrible. It really is.

724
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,916
Thanks for hanging out with me
these past couple of days.

725
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,375
You've been a good friend.

726
01:03:27,041 --> 01:03:31,291
- I have?
- You have. You seem surprised.

727
01:03:31,375 --> 01:03:33,000
No, I just…

728
01:03:34,458 --> 01:03:37,375
I'm a chorus girl. You know, I just…

729
01:03:39,708 --> 01:03:43,041
No one ever thanks me.
They don't even see me.

730
01:03:45,166 --> 01:03:47,875
Spend my whole life
trying to stay in the game,

731
01:03:49,541 --> 01:03:51,375
and keep my day-drinking under control.

732
01:03:52,958 --> 01:03:55,166
That's really nice. Thanks, kid.

733
01:03:57,583 --> 01:04:01,375
Hey, you're going to get through this.
I know it.

734
01:04:04,250 --> 01:04:08,125
I thought that when my parents
rejected me and stopped loving me

735
01:04:08,208 --> 01:04:10,291
that I would never feel any worse,
you know?

736
01:04:11,916 --> 01:04:13,416
And now this…

737
01:04:15,250 --> 01:04:16,458
And I feel worse.

738
01:04:16,541 --> 01:04:19,875
- Honey…
- I've never felt so alone in my life.

739
01:04:19,958 --> 01:04:23,208
But you're not alone. You're not.

740
01:04:23,291 --> 01:04:25,041
You got me. Hmm?

741
01:04:25,625 --> 01:04:29,666
And we are ride-or-die,
and you do have friends.

742
01:04:30,666 --> 01:04:31,708
Where are they?

743
01:04:37,708 --> 01:04:39,291
- This is it.
- Yes.

744
01:04:39,375 --> 01:04:40,750
- No.
- Well, okay.

745
01:04:47,958 --> 01:04:50,125
- Emma, can we come in?
- Yes.

746
01:04:50,208 --> 01:04:52,708
- We brought Häagen-Dazs.
- That's fancy ice cream.

747
01:04:52,791 --> 01:04:55,666
I know what Häagen-Dazs is. Hand it over.

748
01:04:55,750 --> 01:04:58,500
Emma, I know you said
you didn't want us to help anymore,

749
01:04:58,583 --> 01:05:02,291
but we cannot let them get away with this.
We have got to fight back.

750
01:05:02,375 --> 01:05:04,583
Okay, I know everybody's really angry.

751
01:05:05,625 --> 01:05:09,083
But I think we have to admit
that we have made things worse.

752
01:05:09,166 --> 01:05:13,666
I think the best thing we can do
is disinfect our things and go back home.

753
01:05:13,750 --> 01:05:15,500
- No, we are not leaving.
- No!

754
01:05:15,583 --> 01:05:19,958
Dee Dee, we are gonna stay here,
and we're going to turn this thing around.

755
01:05:20,041 --> 01:05:22,250
- We gotta take back the press.
- Yes, how?

756
01:05:22,333 --> 01:05:26,000
Emma, you've got to step up
and be the face of this thing.

757
01:05:26,083 --> 01:05:27,750
And that's going to get her a prom?

758
01:05:27,833 --> 01:05:31,541
This is not about a prom anymore.
This is about right and wrong.

759
01:05:31,625 --> 01:05:34,375
We need a national audience, prime time.

760
01:05:34,458 --> 01:05:37,500
You want a big audience fast?
We gotta use our ace in the hole.

761
01:05:38,875 --> 01:05:41,125
- One call to Eddie Sharpe is all we need.
- No. No.

762
01:05:41,208 --> 01:05:42,416
- Dee Dee!
- He's right.

763
01:05:42,500 --> 01:05:45,541
If I ask him for something,
he will want something in return,

764
01:05:45,625 --> 01:05:47,375
and what he will want
is the Hamptons house.

765
01:05:47,458 --> 01:05:48,958
He's been trying to get it for years.

766
01:05:49,833 --> 01:05:53,541
Okay. Okay, fine. Look, Sheldon,
you got to get that girl on TV.

767
01:05:53,625 --> 01:05:55,000
- Okay.
- Great.

768
01:05:55,083 --> 01:05:57,000
No, not great.

769
01:05:57,083 --> 01:06:00,333
I'm sorry, but there is no way
I'm getting in front of a camera

770
01:06:00,416 --> 01:06:03,375
and telling my story
to millions of people. I can't do that.

771
01:06:03,458 --> 01:06:07,500
- See?
- Please. Please, just go.

772
01:06:08,458 --> 01:06:11,875
- Emma, if you do nothing... Okay.
- Barry. Go.

773
01:06:13,541 --> 01:06:17,166
- Okay, I get it. Okay. Okay.
- Go. Go, go, go. Go, go.

774
01:06:17,250 --> 01:06:19,291
I got this.
I know what I'm doing.

775
01:06:20,833 --> 01:06:22,041
Let me do my thing.

776
01:06:24,041 --> 01:06:26,958
There must be a way to rid this community,
and by extension, the nation,

777
01:06:27,041 --> 01:06:28,500
of this cancer of intolerance.

778
01:06:28,583 --> 01:06:30,875
What are you even doing here?
What happened to<i> Godspell?</i>

779
01:06:30,958 --> 01:06:34,333
Indianapolis was canceled,
as was the naval base at Guantánamo Bay.

780
01:06:34,416 --> 01:06:36,208
What I'm thinking I'm going to do is this.

781
01:06:36,291 --> 01:06:39,541
Venture forth and seek out
the young people and rap,

782
01:06:39,625 --> 01:06:41,041
in a non-musical sense.

783
01:06:55,250 --> 01:06:56,750
Let's go get some more, huh?

784
01:06:57,583 --> 01:06:58,833
Two spoons this time.

785
01:06:59,916 --> 01:07:00,916
Come on.

786
01:07:04,250 --> 01:07:06,166
Gotta stop.

787
01:07:06,250 --> 01:07:11,791
Before you lecture me or kick me to death
with those crazy antelope legs of yours,

788
01:07:11,875 --> 01:07:15,583
or whatever you're gonna do,
I know I should do something.

789
01:07:16,958 --> 01:07:18,500
I just can't.

790
01:07:18,583 --> 01:07:20,125
You gotta do this.

791
01:07:20,208 --> 01:07:22,083
You gotta do it for all of us people

792
01:07:22,166 --> 01:07:25,791
that are standing in the wings,
waiting to go on.

793
01:07:27,083 --> 01:07:29,500
- I'm too scared.
- Hmm.

794
01:07:31,666 --> 01:07:33,083
Let me tell you a story.

795
01:07:34,083 --> 01:07:36,750
It's 1975

796
01:07:36,833 --> 01:07:40,041
and the original company of<i> Chicago</i>
is in previews,

797
01:07:40,125 --> 01:07:43,041
and the worst flu in history
hits the cast.

798
01:07:43,125 --> 01:07:47,291
They're down to the third cover
for the role of Roxie Hart

799
01:07:47,375 --> 01:07:50,291
and she's scared, just like you are.

800
01:07:50,375 --> 01:07:56,666
And Fosse, who is a real ballbuster,
is putting her through her paces

801
01:07:56,750 --> 01:07:58,458
and she's petrified.

802
01:07:58,541 --> 01:08:01,166
Worst of all, she's doing the routine
like she's a robot.

803
01:08:01,250 --> 01:08:07,625
So the Foss, he says,
"Hey, kid. Snap out of it."

804
01:08:09,666 --> 01:08:11,875
"You got the steps."

805
01:08:11,958 --> 01:08:14,250
"You've got the notes."

806
01:08:15,416 --> 01:08:18,833
"Where's the zazz, baby?"

807
01:08:20,208 --> 01:08:23,666
And even though
she'd never heard that word before,

808
01:08:23,750 --> 01:08:26,041
she knew immediately what it meant.

809
01:08:26,125 --> 01:08:29,375
And she went out there
and she found that spotlight,

810
01:08:29,458 --> 01:08:32,250
and she crushed that performance so hard,

811
01:08:32,333 --> 01:08:39,125
she had that whole audience standing
on their feet screaming bloody murder!

812
01:08:40,791 --> 01:08:42,250
And that girl was you!

813
01:08:43,125 --> 01:08:44,125
What?

814
01:08:44,875 --> 01:08:46,375
How old do you think I am?

815
01:08:46,458 --> 01:08:50,666
It was 1975! No.

816
01:08:50,750 --> 01:08:56,541
The point is
every Fosse girl knows that story.

817
01:08:56,625 --> 01:09:00,625
It's all about finding your light.

818
01:10:05,416 --> 01:10:07,208
I just don't think I can do it.

819
01:10:07,291 --> 01:10:10,208
The thought of getting up
in front of all of those people.

820
01:10:10,291 --> 01:10:12,041
Look at my hands, they're shaking.

821
01:10:20,375 --> 01:10:22,416
- Doesn't that feel better?
- No.

822
01:10:22,500 --> 01:10:23,833
Try this.

823
01:10:28,750 --> 01:10:29,916
This is awkward.

824
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,666
You don't understand the concept of zazz.

825
01:10:32,750 --> 01:10:37,583
The zazz is not the moves.
The zazz comes from within.

826
01:10:37,666 --> 01:10:41,708
Do the moves and give it some zazz.

827
01:10:42,333 --> 01:10:43,500
Close your eyes.

828
01:10:44,458 --> 01:10:45,625
Think about Mrs. Greene.

829
01:10:46,666 --> 01:10:48,541
Think about that fake prom.

830
01:10:49,833 --> 01:10:53,708
Now think of finally
doing something about it.

831
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:59,833
Oh, I'm seeing it! I'm seeing your zazz!

832
01:11:00,416 --> 01:11:02,083
Now, follow me!

833
01:11:51,083 --> 01:11:55,333
Now that you found your zazz,
it's time to show it to the world.

834
01:11:55,416 --> 01:11:57,833
- You think you know how?
- Yeah!

835
01:12:01,333 --> 01:12:05,625
<i>You've sort of been,
you know, the woman in my life.</i>

836
01:12:08,958 --> 01:12:10,375
<i>You've been the man in mine.</i>

837
01:12:12,125 --> 01:12:14,541
<i>And I was thinking</i>
<i>this could be our last time…</i>

838
01:12:14,625 --> 01:12:15,958
We shouldn't be doing this.

839
01:12:16,041 --> 01:12:20,458
Oh, it's rom-com Friday.
Rom-com Friday is sacred.

840
01:12:20,541 --> 01:12:21,791
We should be helping Emma.

841
01:12:21,875 --> 01:12:25,458
- We gotta get her on TV.
- Sheldon is on it. Come on.

842
01:12:26,750 --> 01:12:29,458
- How does this work, anyway?
- It's infrared.

843
01:12:29,541 --> 01:12:32,333
- It reduces inflammation.
- Oh, good.

844
01:12:32,416 --> 01:12:34,791
But you can't keep it on too long.
It'll blow your face off.

845
01:12:35,458 --> 01:12:36,416
What?

846
01:12:47,958 --> 01:12:49,541
Saw this movie with Eddie.

847
01:12:52,625 --> 01:12:54,541
- It was our first date.
- Was it really?

848
01:12:54,625 --> 01:12:56,083
- Yeah.
- Mmm.

849
01:12:57,666 --> 01:13:01,416
Then he… took me out for dinner after.

850
01:13:02,041 --> 01:13:04,875
Well, I took him out.

851
01:13:04,958 --> 01:13:06,250
He didn't have any money.

852
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.

853
01:13:13,208 --> 01:13:15,291
Fifteen years, he didn't have any money.

854
01:13:16,250 --> 01:13:18,750
And I picked up the tab. I paid.

855
01:13:20,666 --> 01:13:23,625
- That was a bad move.
- No kidding. I'm still paying.

856
01:13:29,500 --> 01:13:31,125
Can I make an observation?

857
01:13:31,208 --> 01:13:36,333
Is it a pleasant observation
or is it an irritating one?

858
01:13:36,416 --> 01:13:37,625
You're not over him.

859
01:13:37,708 --> 01:13:39,500
No, don't say that. I am not…

860
01:13:39,583 --> 01:13:41,750
Trust me. I am…

861
01:13:41,833 --> 01:13:44,041
I am way over him.

862
01:13:44,125 --> 01:13:47,875
I'm just mad at myself, you know, I am so…

863
01:13:48,583 --> 01:13:50,666
Why it took me so long to…

864
01:13:51,958 --> 01:13:53,166
Figure it out.

865
01:13:53,958 --> 01:13:58,000
You know? I believed him.
I believed him every single time.

866
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,083
"I promise you, it's nothing."

867
01:14:01,166 --> 01:14:03,916
"It's meaningless.
She's nothing to me. It's over."

868
01:14:05,333 --> 01:14:08,541
I finally got the message, you know.
He didn't love me.

869
01:14:10,750 --> 01:14:11,750
He didn't…

870
01:14:12,666 --> 01:14:14,791
He didn't even like me.

871
01:14:16,666 --> 01:14:18,041
But he liked the money.

872
01:14:18,833 --> 01:14:21,625
Oh, yeah, so I got out.

873
01:14:23,375 --> 01:14:24,375
I got out…

874
01:14:25,541 --> 01:14:27,416
And I gave him half my money.

875
01:14:28,750 --> 01:14:31,916
And now here we are, singing to trucks.

876
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,000
<i>And he's got a hit TV show.</i>

877
01:14:34,083 --> 01:14:36,708
<i>And I still owe him
half my unemployment check.</i>

878
01:14:36,791 --> 01:14:38,791
<i>It's Eddie Sharpe!</i>

879
01:14:38,875 --> 01:14:40,125
<i>Whoa, hey!</i>

880
01:14:40,208 --> 01:14:43,291
<i>Welcome, everybody!
What's today's words of wisdom?</i>

881
01:14:43,375 --> 01:14:45,875
<i>Never sign a prenup!</i>

882
01:14:50,708 --> 01:14:53,291
And you know what the worst part is?

883
01:14:55,083 --> 01:14:56,000
I shut down.

884
01:14:58,208 --> 01:15:03,250
He took my little,
delicate blueberry heart,

885
01:15:03,333 --> 01:15:05,916
and he just… squished it.

886
01:15:10,541 --> 01:15:13,375
- What?
- Here's what you're gonna do, okay?

887
01:15:14,125 --> 01:15:18,041
You're gonna wear something
heart-stopping, like that yellow cape

888
01:15:18,125 --> 01:15:19,750
and those cute little boots.

889
01:15:19,833 --> 01:15:21,583
And you are gonna march down

890
01:15:21,666 --> 01:15:25,583
to that principal's office
like a bad, bad girl.

891
01:15:25,666 --> 01:15:27,333
Tom?

892
01:15:27,416 --> 01:15:29,791
- Tom is a fan. Friend.
- Hmm?

893
01:15:29,875 --> 01:15:31,041
Well…

894
01:15:32,250 --> 01:15:33,375
He likes you.

895
01:15:34,541 --> 01:15:36,250
As a fan. Friend.

896
01:15:37,541 --> 01:15:40,083
I don't know.
Not even that much anymore.

897
01:15:40,166 --> 01:15:42,583
Okay, let's cut the crap.
I would kill, <i>kill,</i>

898
01:15:42,666 --> 01:15:45,416
to have a guy look at me
the way that he looks at you.

899
01:15:45,500 --> 01:15:47,500
Stop it.

900
01:15:48,416 --> 01:15:52,666
You're just…
You're poking my heart with your finger.

901
01:15:53,375 --> 01:15:56,416
Your still-beating,
delicate little blueberry heart?

902
01:16:02,250 --> 01:16:05,916
Do you think he really, really likes me?

903
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:07,083
Oh, my God, yes!

904
01:16:08,083 --> 01:16:09,416
Barry!

905
01:16:11,208 --> 01:16:14,166
- I love you! I love you!
- I love you! I love you!

906
01:16:14,250 --> 01:16:16,541
You're just such a great… everything.

907
01:16:19,125 --> 01:16:21,083
Okay, no, no, no. Okay.

908
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,083
This, the master stroke, your idea.

909
01:16:24,166 --> 01:16:26,625
- And the boots?
- And the little cute boots.

910
01:16:28,666 --> 01:16:29,833
This is it.

911
01:16:33,541 --> 01:16:35,458
That is good.

912
01:16:39,833 --> 01:16:41,875
Mmm, now…

913
01:16:42,833 --> 01:16:43,666
You.

914
01:16:46,458 --> 01:16:48,791
I've been thinking about you
since we got here.

915
01:16:48,875 --> 01:16:51,791
Oh, God. I knew this was gonna
somehow turn around to me.

916
01:16:51,875 --> 01:16:57,250
And I think it's time somebody poked
that gay little heart of yours.

917
01:16:57,333 --> 01:16:59,250
Are we doing this? Fine. Uh…

918
01:16:59,333 --> 01:17:02,666
Do I only go for 10s
when I know I'm a 6.2? Yes and...

919
01:17:02,750 --> 01:17:06,083
Your parents. You're from Ohio, right?

920
01:17:06,166 --> 01:17:07,416
So?

921
01:17:08,291 --> 01:17:09,666
We're in Indiana.

922
01:17:09,750 --> 01:17:13,500
- Ohio, Indiana, they're close.
- I can see where you're driving this.

923
01:17:13,583 --> 01:17:15,958
You have two living parents

924
01:17:16,041 --> 01:17:19,291
that you'll never be nearer to
than you are right now.

925
01:17:19,375 --> 01:17:22,166
- I think you should call them.
- No.

926
01:17:23,041 --> 01:17:24,416
They threw me away.

927
01:17:24,500 --> 01:17:26,750
Well, did they really?

928
01:17:26,833 --> 01:17:28,250
I told them that I was gay,

929
01:17:28,333 --> 01:17:32,166
and they said that they would take me
to therapy to change myself completely.

930
01:17:34,208 --> 01:17:37,875
Let your parents see who you are
before it's too late.

931
01:17:40,625 --> 01:17:41,708
If you don't…

932
01:17:42,750 --> 01:17:43,750
You'll regret it.

933
01:17:45,875 --> 01:17:48,250
I'm not the one who should have regrets.

934
01:17:50,291 --> 01:17:51,875
I was the kid.

935
01:17:52,958 --> 01:17:54,208
I was the kid!

936
01:17:56,375 --> 01:17:57,958
I was 16.

937
01:18:00,500 --> 01:18:03,458
Sixteen years old. I was terrified.

938
01:18:03,541 --> 01:18:05,000
Terrified!

939
01:18:08,125 --> 01:18:11,166
And I needed one thing from them
and they couldn't give it to me.

940
01:18:11,250 --> 01:18:12,125
So don't you…

941
01:18:33,666 --> 01:18:35,458
<i>Would the following students</i>

942
01:18:35,541 --> 01:18:37,583
<i>please report to after-school detention?</i>

943
01:18:38,458 --> 01:18:39,416
<i>Harlan Doolittle…</i>

944
01:18:39,500 --> 01:18:40,333
Hi.

945
01:18:40,416 --> 01:18:42,875
<i>…Olivia Blanc, Frances Doolittle.
Thank you.</i>

946
01:18:43,958 --> 01:18:45,875
Well, they each had a bite.

947
01:18:45,958 --> 01:18:48,791
- Ooh, what'd you do?
- Yeah, a big bite.

948
01:18:48,875 --> 01:18:50,875
I appreciate it. Bye-bye.

949
01:18:54,166 --> 01:18:56,083
Am I interrupting something?

950
01:18:56,166 --> 01:18:58,041
{\an8}I was just doing some research,

951
01:18:58,125 --> 01:19:01,333
{\an8}trying to figure out
if urinal cakes are poisonous.

952
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,125
Uh, how can I help you?

953
01:19:04,750 --> 01:19:09,750
Well, I've just been wandering
around town all day.

954
01:19:11,833 --> 01:19:15,125
I've seen the… sight.

955
01:19:15,708 --> 01:19:16,708
And, um…

956
01:19:18,458 --> 01:19:23,125
Bottom line is I just thought
you might want to take me to dinner

957
01:19:23,208 --> 01:19:26,041
and worship me again.

958
01:19:26,125 --> 01:19:27,750
No, I would not like to do that.

959
01:19:27,833 --> 01:19:30,291
Now if you'll excuse me,
I've got work to do.

960
01:19:30,375 --> 01:19:33,625
Okay, what's going on here?
Why is everybody always so mad at me?

961
01:19:33,708 --> 01:19:37,583
Well, speaking for myself,
it's because you're an opportunist.

962
01:19:37,666 --> 01:19:40,583
You came here for publicity.
You're a terrible person.

963
01:19:40,666 --> 01:19:43,041
No, no. Nobody gets to
talk to me that way. Nobody!

964
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,000
You know, meeting you in person
has been colossally disappointing.

965
01:19:48,291 --> 01:19:50,083
I wanted you to be Dolores.

966
01:19:50,166 --> 01:19:51,833
Who the hell is Dolores?

967
01:19:51,916 --> 01:19:53,708
From <i>Swallow the Moon.</i>

968
01:19:54,833 --> 01:19:58,541
<i>She was joyful.</i>
<i>She was full of courage and hope.</i>

969
01:19:58,625 --> 01:20:01,625
- Okay, but she was fictional.
- But you made her real.

970
01:20:03,250 --> 01:20:05,833
When you sang
"The Lady's Improving" to Troy Gibson,

971
01:20:05,916 --> 01:20:09,125
you were admitting you weren't perfect
and you knew you could be better,

972
01:20:09,208 --> 01:20:11,875
and that's why
he didn't fire you from the circus act.

973
01:20:13,333 --> 01:20:15,791
Such humility and dignity.

974
01:20:16,458 --> 01:20:18,916
- That's who I thought you were.
- Well, I'm not.

975
01:20:19,916 --> 01:20:21,541
I'm not Dolores.

976
01:20:23,166 --> 01:20:28,041
I'm just a really, really,
really good actress. And you…

977
01:20:28,666 --> 01:20:30,916
You're just some hick town
high school teacher

978
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,541
who can't even tell the difference
between fantasy and reality.

979
01:20:34,625 --> 01:20:36,500
- Are we done?
- Oh, yeah, we're done.

980
01:21:09,250 --> 01:21:11,625
I know what you're doing.

981
01:21:30,875 --> 01:21:32,541
You're trying to appeal to the fan in me.

982
01:21:32,625 --> 01:21:34,125
It won't work. I'm not a fan anymore.

983
01:22:01,291 --> 01:22:03,791
Seriously, Dee Dee, this is unsettling.

984
01:22:03,875 --> 01:22:06,583
It's like having a fantasy
I don't want to have.

985
01:22:35,875 --> 01:22:37,208
Hey!

986
01:22:47,208 --> 01:22:48,250
I need you to stop.

987
01:23:21,083 --> 01:23:22,500
Okay, I admit that got to me.

988
01:23:24,083 --> 01:23:26,041
See? See?

989
01:23:26,125 --> 01:23:31,125
I'm not a total lost cause.
That was a totally selfless act.

990
01:23:31,208 --> 01:23:34,166
I mean, people would pay
premium prices for that performance.

991
01:23:34,250 --> 01:23:36,750
All right, you guys are dismissed.

992
01:23:36,833 --> 01:23:40,958
Dee Dee, not charging for an apology
is not a selfless act.

993
01:23:42,083 --> 01:23:43,083
What the hell?

994
01:23:43,166 --> 01:23:47,125
If you want people to like you
instead of hate you, you have to be good.

995
01:23:47,208 --> 01:23:51,291
A good person. You have to put
other people's interests before your own.

996
01:23:52,208 --> 01:23:55,375
You don't understand.
I am a celebrity.

997
01:23:55,458 --> 01:23:58,958
It is all about me.
It has been for decades.

998
01:23:59,833 --> 01:24:03,833
That's the point of celebrity.
So I have to be reprogrammed.

999
01:24:03,916 --> 01:24:07,583
I have to unlearn things
like shoving and taking.

1000
01:24:07,666 --> 01:24:08,750
- You know…
- Yes.

1001
01:24:08,833 --> 01:24:11,000
I need help with that. I need a…

1002
01:24:12,458 --> 01:24:13,458
Teacher.

1003
01:24:17,750 --> 01:24:18,750
Please.

1004
01:24:24,458 --> 01:24:28,625
Let's go some place and talk
about how to be good human beings.

1005
01:24:30,500 --> 01:24:31,666
Apples & Bees?

1006
01:24:51,166 --> 01:24:52,166
Hi.

1007
01:24:53,041 --> 01:24:55,333
Thanks for meeting me.
I was afraid you wouldn't come...

1008
01:24:55,416 --> 01:24:56,250
What do you want?

1009
01:24:56,333 --> 01:24:59,291
- I'm sorry about what happened.
- Were you in on it?

1010
01:24:59,375 --> 01:25:01,708
Emma! You know me.

1011
01:25:01,833 --> 01:25:02,750
Do I?

1012
01:25:03,916 --> 01:25:05,250
What is this?

1013
01:25:06,541 --> 01:25:07,500
What are we?

1014
01:25:07,583 --> 01:25:09,583
- No, you know what we are.
- No, I don't.

1015
01:25:11,083 --> 01:25:12,625
Do you know what it was like

1016
01:25:12,708 --> 01:25:15,541
standing there in that stupid dress
alone in the gym,

1017
01:25:16,333 --> 01:25:19,625
knowing that people got together
and planned the best way to hurt me?

1018
01:25:19,708 --> 01:25:22,458
- That must've been awful.
- It was.

1019
01:25:23,750 --> 01:25:25,000
But the worst part…

1020
01:25:27,083 --> 01:25:32,208
The worst part was that you didn't come
even though you knew what happened.

1021
01:25:32,291 --> 01:25:36,750
You didn't come and try and hold my hand
or take me out of there.

1022
01:25:36,833 --> 01:25:38,416
- I couldn't, okay?
- Why?

1023
01:25:38,500 --> 01:25:40,791
You know what my mother is like.

1024
01:25:40,875 --> 01:25:43,458
She's a complete and total control freak.

1025
01:27:38,791 --> 01:27:40,916
I'm gonna go public and tell my story.

1026
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,791
- Will you do it with me?
- I want to. I...

1027
01:27:44,875 --> 01:27:48,958
Yeah, wanting to isn't enough.

1028
01:27:50,958 --> 01:27:53,125
I believe you have feelings for me.

1029
01:27:54,416 --> 01:27:58,416
But I can't do this anymore.
It hurts too much.

1030
01:27:58,500 --> 01:28:00,291
Are you breaking up with me?

1031
01:28:01,083 --> 01:28:02,791
I guess I am, yeah.

1032
01:28:05,250 --> 01:28:06,083
Bye.

1033
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:27,875
I saw it on CNN. They said that
Edgewater, Indiana overflows with bigotry.

1034
01:28:27,958 --> 01:28:29,875
Hey, look.
It's that guy from <i>Talk to the Hand.</i>

1035
01:28:29,958 --> 01:28:35,208
Hey, guys. I was just taking a walk,
enjoying the sweet scent of Americana.

1036
01:28:35,291 --> 01:28:36,458
We're not interested.

1037
01:28:36,541 --> 01:28:40,208
I feel like
there's an ideological divide between us,

1038
01:28:40,291 --> 01:28:44,208
but if we got to know each other,
we could bridge it, right?

1039
01:28:44,291 --> 01:28:45,958
So I'll start.

1040
01:28:46,750 --> 01:28:49,458
I'm Trent. I'm an actor.

1041
01:28:49,541 --> 01:28:54,166
My instrument was forged
in the fiery furnace that is Juilliard.

1042
01:28:54,250 --> 01:28:57,166
I'm sure your drama teachers
told you about that institution.

1043
01:28:57,250 --> 01:29:01,000
- We don't have a drama program.
- Explains your general lack of empathy.

1044
01:29:01,083 --> 01:29:02,041
Let's start with you.

1045
01:29:02,125 --> 01:29:04,083
- Me?
- Yes. Why do you hate gay people?

1046
01:29:04,166 --> 01:29:07,875
- Hey, I'm a good person, right, Shelby?
- Yeah. Yeah, we all are.

1047
01:29:07,958 --> 01:29:09,916
- We go to church.
- Yeah, we're Christian.

1048
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.

1049
01:29:14,916 --> 01:29:16,291
Well, that's different.

1050
01:29:19,375 --> 01:29:20,625
Is it?

1051
01:29:20,708 --> 01:29:24,583
You can't cherry-pick the Bible,
choosing which parts you want to believe.

1052
01:29:24,666 --> 01:29:26,250
We don't do that.

1053
01:29:26,333 --> 01:29:27,958
Uh, you don't?

1054
01:29:28,041 --> 01:29:30,250
Then what's this?

1055
01:29:42,916 --> 01:29:43,875
What?

1056
01:29:46,833 --> 01:29:47,666
Hey!

1057
01:30:03,083 --> 01:30:03,916
What?

1058
01:30:15,041 --> 01:30:15,875
Really?

1059
01:30:36,458 --> 01:30:40,416
- You know, you kind of make sense.
- What are you talking about?

1060
01:30:40,500 --> 01:30:44,333
Oh, come on. You guys don't even feel,
like, slightly bad for Emma?

1061
01:30:44,416 --> 01:30:47,416
- I mean, you guys used to hang out.
- That was before she turned gay.

1062
01:30:47,500 --> 01:30:48,833
Maybe she was always gay.

1063
01:30:48,916 --> 01:30:52,333
Exactly, because that's the way
God made her, Shelby.

1064
01:30:52,416 --> 01:30:53,750
- Come on. What?
- Whatever.

1065
01:30:53,833 --> 01:30:56,916
- Hey! It's the <i>Godspell</i> kids!
- Hey, Trent. What's going on?

1066
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:58,750
- You guys'll back me up.
- With what?

1067
01:30:58,833 --> 01:31:02,250
He's just trying to confuse us.
Because my stepdad always says...

1068
01:31:03,291 --> 01:31:06,333
Stepdad?
Do you mean your parents are divorced?

1069
01:31:07,375 --> 01:31:08,833
Yeah, and?

1070
01:31:08,916 --> 01:31:11,125
Well, divorce is a big no-no.

1071
01:32:18,375 --> 01:32:19,708
Yes!

1072
01:33:51,875 --> 01:33:53,541
Please.

1073
01:33:58,166 --> 01:33:59,750
- Hi, everyone.
- Hi!

1074
01:33:59,833 --> 01:34:01,833
It's okay, it's okay.
He knows what we're up to.

1075
01:34:01,916 --> 01:34:04,750
And I'm on board,
as long as Emma's comfortable with it.

1076
01:34:04,833 --> 01:34:08,000
Well, she's outta luck,
'cause we got nothin'.

1077
01:34:08,083 --> 01:34:11,166
Uh, it's not over yet. Dee Dee.

1078
01:34:11,250 --> 01:34:14,625
- I have arranged a TV appearance for her…
- Mmm!

1079
01:34:14,708 --> 01:34:16,708
…on <i>Eddie Sharpe.</i>

1080
01:34:16,791 --> 01:34:19,791
She's booked
for tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m.

1081
01:34:19,875 --> 01:34:21,750
Not the house in the Hamptons.

1082
01:34:21,833 --> 01:34:23,291
Yes.

1083
01:34:25,458 --> 01:34:30,708
Hello, Eddie, it's Dee Dee,
your brutalized ex-wife.

1084
01:34:30,791 --> 01:34:33,416
But I'm calling
on another matter entirely.

1085
01:34:34,083 --> 01:34:35,083
What I did…

1086
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:40,375
Was I put her interest ahead of my own.

1087
01:34:40,458 --> 01:34:44,541
I expect nothing in return.

1088
01:34:44,625 --> 01:34:49,875
I have no agenda
other than to ease someone else's burden.

1089
01:34:49,958 --> 01:34:54,083
Oh, Dee Dee,
that is incredibly generous of you!

1090
01:34:54,166 --> 01:34:55,041
I know!

1091
01:34:55,125 --> 01:34:57,833
Hang on. What kind of audience
are we talking about here?

1092
01:34:57,916 --> 01:35:02,208
I mean, <i>Eddie Sharpe</i> on a weekday?
Fifteen, sixteen million!

1093
01:35:02,291 --> 01:35:05,541
- Dee Dee! You saved the day!
- Yeah, I did.

1094
01:35:07,291 --> 01:35:11,166
- I love giving back. It's my new thing.
- There you go!

1095
01:35:11,250 --> 01:35:12,833
- Emma!
- Hi.

1096
01:35:12,916 --> 01:35:14,666
Emma! You wait until you hear the news.

1097
01:35:14,750 --> 01:35:18,458
Dee Dee has got you booked
on <i>Eddie Sharpe</i> tomorrow at 8:00

1098
01:35:18,541 --> 01:35:21,291
with an audience of 16 million people!

1099
01:35:21,375 --> 01:35:24,125
Wow! That's amazing. Thank you.

1100
01:35:24,208 --> 01:35:26,500
Oh, I'm just…
I'm so happy to be able to help.

1101
01:35:26,583 --> 01:35:29,083
And I'm gonna take a stand.

1102
01:35:29,166 --> 01:35:33,208
And I want to thank you all
because without your love and support,

1103
01:35:33,291 --> 01:35:35,083
I never would have found the courage.

1104
01:35:35,166 --> 01:35:39,416
But, um, the reason I came
was to tell you that…

1105
01:35:40,916 --> 01:35:42,458
I'm going to do it my way.

1106
01:35:44,083 --> 01:35:45,750
I'm not going on TV.

1107
01:35:51,666 --> 01:35:53,750
- You owe me a house!
- Oh, my God.

1108
01:35:53,833 --> 01:35:55,541
- You owe me a house!
- Go, go!

1109
01:35:55,625 --> 01:35:57,458
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- Run! Run!

1110
01:35:57,541 --> 01:36:01,458
She owes me a house! She owes me my house!

1111
01:36:01,541 --> 01:36:04,666
I need my house.

1112
01:36:04,750 --> 01:36:06,666
She's a very passionate woman.

1113
01:36:07,708 --> 01:36:09,583
So here's what's gonna happen.

1114
01:36:09,666 --> 01:36:12,916
I'm gonna do my thing, and in the end,

1115
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:17,875
there will be a kick-ass prom
in Edgewater, Indiana, for everybody,

1116
01:36:18,375 --> 01:36:20,375
regardless of who they happen to love.

1117
01:36:21,166 --> 01:36:22,041
I know it.

1118
01:36:22,125 --> 01:36:24,875
That… That would be wonderful.

1119
01:36:24,958 --> 01:36:29,958
And when that happens,
I want you to be my date.

1120
01:36:32,708 --> 01:36:33,833
Wait, but what about…

1121
01:36:34,625 --> 01:36:35,875
We broke up.

1122
01:36:37,708 --> 01:36:39,083
Just say yes.

1123
01:36:39,166 --> 01:36:41,583
There's no one in the world
I'd rather go with.

1124
01:36:46,333 --> 01:36:49,916
God. Don't make me cry.

1125
01:36:52,791 --> 01:36:55,333
Of course I will go with you.

1126
01:36:55,416 --> 01:36:57,708
We are going to the prom.

1127
01:36:59,125 --> 01:37:00,125
God.

1128
01:37:09,541 --> 01:37:11,500
I can't believe it.

1129
01:38:54,500 --> 01:38:55,958
Going to the prom.

1130
01:39:29,625 --> 01:39:30,583
Go on.

1131
01:40:05,916 --> 01:40:07,041
Hello, interweb.

1132
01:40:08,041 --> 01:40:11,583
My name is Emma Nolan,
and I'm 17 and I'm gay.

1133
01:40:12,708 --> 01:40:15,500
You might have heard
about the fake prom in Indiana.

1134
01:40:15,583 --> 01:40:16,750
<i>That was me.</i>

1135
01:40:17,625 --> 01:40:20,041
<i>It was awful in every way,</i>

1136
01:40:20,125 --> 01:40:23,541
<i>and I spent a lot of time
feeling sorry for myself.</i>

1137
01:40:23,625 --> 01:40:26,791
So I wrote a song
for all the people out there

1138
01:40:27,500 --> 01:40:32,333
who love someone in a way
that the world just doesn't understand.

1139
01:40:32,416 --> 01:40:36,041
I know we all have stories to tell,
and here's mine.

1140
01:41:45,750 --> 01:41:49,375
<i>Hi, Emma.
I loved your video. Where do I start?</i>

1141
01:41:49,458 --> 01:41:51,000
<i>I think my parents always knew.</i>

1142
01:41:51,083 --> 01:41:54,708
<i>I felt so alone.
Nothing made sense until him.</i>

1143
01:41:54,791 --> 01:41:56,333
<i>She's the best thing in my life.</i>

1144
01:41:56,416 --> 01:41:58,500
<i>The only good thing.</i>

1145
01:41:58,583 --> 01:41:59,833
<i>But we're always hiding.</i>

1146
01:41:59,916 --> 01:42:01,791
<i>You're not the only one.</i>

1147
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:47,708
This is too much.
It's too much for my heart.

1148
01:43:47,791 --> 01:43:51,208
That's why I wanted you guys to see it.
I've never been more proud.

1149
01:43:51,291 --> 01:43:53,791
- So when is the prom?
- There's no money left.

1150
01:43:53,875 --> 01:43:56,750
- What? What do you mean?
- We already had a prom, remember?

1151
01:43:57,750 --> 01:44:00,375
There could be a miracle. It's early.

1152
01:44:02,625 --> 01:44:05,125
Okay, people,
it's Mickey and Judy time. Okay?

1153
01:44:05,208 --> 01:44:07,375
This is the part
where we roll up our sleeves

1154
01:44:07,458 --> 01:44:09,708
and we put on a prom
with our own bare hands.

1155
01:44:09,791 --> 01:44:13,791
- We are giving Emma the prom she deserves.
- Okay, wait a minute.

1156
01:44:13,875 --> 01:44:17,041
How much are we talking about?
What does a prom cost?

1157
01:44:18,083 --> 01:44:20,000
I mean,
it's not a school-sanctioned event,

1158
01:44:20,083 --> 01:44:21,958
so we have to pay
a rental fee on the gym.

1159
01:44:22,041 --> 01:44:22,916
DJ.

1160
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:24,541
- Lighting.
- Sound system.

1161
01:44:24,625 --> 01:44:27,083
It's still thousands of dollars.

1162
01:44:27,750 --> 01:44:29,166
Right. Um…

1163
01:44:32,166 --> 01:44:34,125
Okay, here.

1164
01:44:35,250 --> 01:44:38,000
Charge that until it declines,
which will be soon.

1165
01:44:38,083 --> 01:44:41,500
I had to declare bankruptcy
after my self-produced <i>Notes on a Scandal.</i>

1166
01:44:42,208 --> 01:44:43,750
Yes. Well…

1167
01:44:45,083 --> 01:44:47,750
I don't have a credit card anymore
because I…

1168
01:44:47,833 --> 01:44:49,166
Well, I just…

1169
01:44:49,250 --> 01:44:54,333
But, anyway, you can have what I have
in my Venmo and there's my cash.

1170
01:44:54,416 --> 01:44:55,458
It's all yours.

1171
01:44:55,541 --> 01:44:57,583
- Thanks, Angie.
- Sure.

1172
01:44:57,666 --> 01:45:00,958
Okay. This is my card
from the Actors Federal Credit Union.

1173
01:45:01,041 --> 01:45:03,458
Just cross your fingers and swipe.

1174
01:45:04,375 --> 01:45:08,416
All right. Well, we're making
some progress here. This is a nice start.

1175
01:45:08,500 --> 01:45:09,458
Um…

1176
01:45:09,541 --> 01:45:12,000
{\an8}We still have a long way to go.

1177
01:45:16,375 --> 01:45:19,416
- Dee Dee. Dee Dee?
- What?

1178
01:45:19,500 --> 01:45:23,291
Oh, come on. I know you've got
an American Express black card in there.

1179
01:45:23,375 --> 01:45:24,875
There's no limit on that baby.

1180
01:45:24,958 --> 01:45:30,000
Please, please, no.
I already gave a house.

1181
01:45:30,083 --> 01:45:32,833
Exactly, so this is nothing. Come on.

1182
01:45:34,791 --> 01:45:36,166
Eleanor.

1183
01:45:37,875 --> 01:45:39,083
Franklin.

1184
01:45:42,666 --> 01:45:49,625
Why does being good
cost so much… money?

1185
01:45:51,083 --> 01:45:53,000
Well done, Dee Dee.

1186
01:45:53,083 --> 01:45:54,916
- Yes!
- We're fully financed.

1187
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:57,875
- Yeah!
- Okay, well, let's give this girl a prom!

1188
01:45:57,958 --> 01:45:59,875
- Yes!
- Okay, let's do it!

1189
01:45:59,958 --> 01:46:03,083
The students will want to see us
perform some sort of number.

1190
01:46:03,166 --> 01:46:06,541
So, look, I…
I've been thinking hard about this.

1191
01:46:07,541 --> 01:46:10,250
That thing
that you and I were talking about.

1192
01:46:11,166 --> 01:46:13,750
- I called your mother.
- What?

1193
01:46:13,833 --> 01:46:16,875
Yeah, I found her number in your phone.

1194
01:46:17,875 --> 01:46:19,750
How did you know my passcode?

1195
01:46:19,833 --> 01:46:23,500
Well, I guessed. 9481. Beyoncé's birthday.

1196
01:46:23,583 --> 01:46:26,041
Got it on the first try.

1197
01:46:26,791 --> 01:46:30,041
- Well, why would you do that?
- Because, Barry…

1198
01:46:31,875 --> 01:46:35,625
- I know you couldn't do it on your own.
- What did she say?

1199
01:46:35,708 --> 01:46:38,625
Well, I think
maybe you should let her tell you that.

1200
01:46:39,583 --> 01:46:40,583
Hi, Barry.

1201
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?

1202
01:46:49,833 --> 01:46:53,583
No. No, you…
You don't get to do this. Okay?

1203
01:46:53,666 --> 01:46:57,875
You don't get to show up
out of nowhere. Okay? No. Uh-uh.

1204
01:46:57,958 --> 01:46:59,500
I came all this way, Barry.

1205
01:46:59,583 --> 01:47:02,083
Well, you can just turn around
and go right back, okay?

1206
01:47:02,166 --> 01:47:03,791
You called me, didn't you?

1207
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,666
That was you who called
and hung up, wasn't it?

1208
01:47:12,708 --> 01:47:17,541
I handled this all wrong, honey.
And I'm so sorry.

1209
01:47:17,625 --> 01:47:19,666
Okay. You just… stay…

1210
01:47:22,208 --> 01:47:26,500
When you told us what you were,
who you were,

1211
01:47:27,916 --> 01:47:31,000
your father and I, we were scared.

1212
01:47:31,083 --> 01:47:32,583
We hardly knew what gay meant.

1213
01:47:32,666 --> 01:47:35,666
We both thought
that somehow we had failed you,

1214
01:47:35,750 --> 01:47:37,458
like maybe it was our fault.

1215
01:47:38,875 --> 01:47:41,166
So it's okay now?

1216
01:47:41,250 --> 01:47:44,041
What I needed was a mother
who didn't know if it was okay

1217
01:47:44,125 --> 01:47:45,666
but loved me anyway.

1218
01:47:47,250 --> 01:47:49,958
You think you were scared?
How do you think I felt?

1219
01:47:50,041 --> 01:47:53,083
I know, Barry.
I failed you and I know.

1220
01:47:54,166 --> 01:47:57,083
That's gonna be on my heart
till the day I die.

1221
01:47:57,750 --> 01:48:02,958
But all I can say is
I was wrong and I'm sorry.

1222
01:48:07,750 --> 01:48:09,666
What about Dad? Is he here?

1223
01:48:09,750 --> 01:48:11,833
Uh, no. He's just not…

1224
01:48:13,375 --> 01:48:14,541
He's not there yet.

1225
01:48:15,125 --> 01:48:16,541
I'm sorry to say.

1226
01:48:17,458 --> 01:48:18,458
Oh, Barry.

1227
01:48:20,416 --> 01:48:25,250
Please forgive me.
I've missed you so much.

1228
01:48:29,916 --> 01:48:31,250
I missed you too.

1229
01:48:32,541 --> 01:48:33,583
I did.

1230
01:48:34,791 --> 01:48:37,125
I missed you too. I missed you.

1231
01:48:46,208 --> 01:48:50,166
- Aren't you tired of watching that?
- Eight million people have seen it.

1232
01:48:50,791 --> 01:48:52,583
I just don't understand it.

1233
01:48:52,666 --> 01:48:54,416
Well, I think it's brave.

1234
01:48:56,625 --> 01:48:58,833
The kids are saying
there's gonna be another prom.

1235
01:48:58,916 --> 01:49:01,000
Someone's offered to pay for it.

1236
01:49:02,833 --> 01:49:03,750
Who?

1237
01:49:04,958 --> 01:49:07,208
This is so generous of you guys.

1238
01:49:07,291 --> 01:49:09,958
We had to do something
after you broke the Internet.

1239
01:49:10,041 --> 01:49:13,000
It was crazy.
The numbers just kept going up,

1240
01:49:13,083 --> 01:49:16,333
and then the <i>Indiana Star</i> called,
and then the <i>Washington Post...</i>

1241
01:49:16,416 --> 01:49:17,833
Hello, everyone.

1242
01:49:17,916 --> 01:49:20,041
Can't have a prom without flowers.

1243
01:49:20,125 --> 01:49:22,083
So I will put these out on the table,

1244
01:49:22,166 --> 01:49:24,166
even though I'd rather just
give them all to you.

1245
01:49:24,250 --> 01:49:26,458
- Oh, my God!
- Is this for real?

1246
01:49:26,541 --> 01:49:31,750
Can I just say you guys are
the best middle-aged people I've ever met.

1247
01:49:34,291 --> 01:49:35,166
That is…

1248
01:49:35,250 --> 01:49:36,916
Oh, honey…

1249
01:49:38,041 --> 01:49:41,250
We need to talk to you
about something, okay? And I think it's…

1250
01:49:42,416 --> 01:49:44,541
It's important that you understand

1251
01:49:44,625 --> 01:49:47,916
the real reason
why we came here to visit you.

1252
01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:50,250
It wasn't for the Hoosier pie?

1253
01:49:50,333 --> 01:49:52,208
Well, I mean, um…

1254
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,541
- We were in a show.
- A wonderful show.

1255
01:49:57,625 --> 01:49:58,875
Well, I mean…

1256
01:49:59,750 --> 01:50:02,541
And we got blasted by the critics.

1257
01:50:02,625 --> 01:50:05,916
They called us narcissists, and it hurt.

1258
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,916
And it hurt
because I guess they were right.

1259
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:14,250
So we looked around for a cause
that might give us some credibility.

1260
01:50:14,333 --> 01:50:16,625
Maybe get us some good press.

1261
01:50:16,708 --> 01:50:19,458
Like building
a house for Habitat for Humanity.

1262
01:50:19,541 --> 01:50:22,208
Then we realized that
we're not capable of building anything.

1263
01:50:22,291 --> 01:50:23,958
And then I found you on Twitter.

1264
01:50:24,041 --> 01:50:27,666
I mean, it was just dumb luck,
but meant to be.

1265
01:50:28,791 --> 01:50:32,583
Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, but…

1266
01:50:33,333 --> 01:50:35,541
You're going to build something.

1267
01:50:35,625 --> 01:50:38,375
You're going to build a prom.

1268
01:50:38,458 --> 01:50:40,416
Stop it! Stop this, please!

1269
01:50:40,500 --> 01:50:43,041
Who gave you people
permission to be in here?

1270
01:50:43,125 --> 01:50:46,208
- I did.
- You should have consulted with the PTA.

1271
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.

1272
01:50:50,541 --> 01:50:54,375
I'm going to be
as clear as I possibly can.

1273
01:50:55,416 --> 01:50:58,208
Your beliefs are not our beliefs.

1274
01:50:58,291 --> 01:51:00,166
Hey, Emma. Can we talk to you?

1275
01:51:06,125 --> 01:51:09,083
I was a jerk, and I'm sorry.

1276
01:51:09,875 --> 01:51:13,416
You deserve to go to prom
just like any other kid.

1277
01:51:13,500 --> 01:51:17,500
What? I thought you hated me.
I thought you all hated me.

1278
01:51:17,583 --> 01:51:18,916
Oh, they hated you.

1279
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:23,208
They hated you with a burning passion
stoked by centuries of intolerance

1280
01:51:23,291 --> 01:51:25,291
and the lack of a drama program.

1281
01:51:25,375 --> 01:51:26,791
I'm sorry, too, Emma.

1282
01:51:28,500 --> 01:51:32,583
You know, you explain things really well.
You should be, like, a teacher.

1283
01:51:32,666 --> 01:51:35,666
- Oh, you should be our drama teacher!
- Yes, please!

1284
01:51:35,750 --> 01:51:37,416
You should do it. Do it.

1285
01:51:38,916 --> 01:51:40,666
- You're hired!
- I'm a teacher!

1286
01:51:40,750 --> 01:51:42,583
- As a temp.
- Absolutely.

1287
01:51:42,666 --> 01:51:45,125
No, no, no! This is...
This is what I was afraid of.

1288
01:51:45,208 --> 01:51:46,875
- Mom!
- Let me finish!

1289
01:51:46,958 --> 01:51:50,416
No, you have got to stop talking
and just listen, okay?

1290
01:51:52,500 --> 01:51:54,166
People don't turn gay.

1291
01:51:55,250 --> 01:51:56,291
They are who they are.

1292
01:51:56,375 --> 01:51:58,541
No. You don't know what you're saying.

1293
01:51:58,625 --> 01:51:59,625
I do.

1294
01:52:00,416 --> 01:52:01,333
I do.

1295
01:52:03,541 --> 01:52:07,583
Look, I know how you were raised,
but… the world's a different place.

1296
01:52:08,291 --> 01:52:10,083
And sure, it's not great, but…

1297
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.

1298
01:52:19,125 --> 01:52:20,291
People like her.

1299
01:52:24,916 --> 01:52:26,666
I don't want to hurt you.

1300
01:52:28,041 --> 01:52:30,458
I don't want to hurt anyone.

1301
01:52:33,083 --> 01:52:35,500
I just want to be me.

1302
01:52:38,791 --> 01:52:40,041
So here goes.

1303
01:52:40,750 --> 01:52:42,916
- I love you, Emma Nolan.
- Oh, my God.

1304
01:52:45,208 --> 01:52:47,041
I love you too.

1305
01:52:47,125 --> 01:52:49,125
Alyssa… No, listen to me.

1306
01:52:49,208 --> 01:52:52,750
You are very young and you are confused.

1307
01:52:52,833 --> 01:52:54,541
You don't know what is…

1308
01:52:59,875 --> 01:53:03,625
I just don't want you to have a hard life.

1309
01:53:04,791 --> 01:53:06,416
It's already hard.

1310
01:53:12,791 --> 01:53:14,416
- Mom, I love you...
- No.

1311
01:53:20,958 --> 01:53:22,458
We'll…

1312
01:53:23,041 --> 01:53:27,750
We can talk about this tonight.
Okay? Okay?

1313
01:53:27,833 --> 01:53:29,500
- Okay.
- Okay. Okay.

1314
01:53:29,583 --> 01:53:30,750
Mom…

1315
01:53:38,500 --> 01:53:41,083
- Just breathe.
- Hey, why don't we decorate?

1316
01:53:41,166 --> 01:53:43,875
Yes, let's decorate.
Let's decorate everything.

1317
01:53:43,958 --> 01:53:45,833
- All right.
- I need you here.

1318
01:53:45,916 --> 01:53:48,000
We're gonna
make this place really pretty.

1319
01:54:03,583 --> 01:54:04,750
Look at that!

1320
01:54:06,583 --> 01:54:09,583
I'm so proud of you. Look at what you did.

1321
01:54:09,666 --> 01:54:11,333
I can't believe this.

1322
01:54:12,583 --> 01:54:14,833
I think we're early.

1323
01:54:14,916 --> 01:54:16,708
- Yeah, it looks like it.
- Mm-hmm.

1324
01:54:16,791 --> 01:54:18,750
You want to hit up the punch bowl?

1325
01:54:18,833 --> 01:54:22,583
No. There's only one thing
that I want to do.

1326
01:55:14,500 --> 01:55:17,833
Oh, my! Are you kidding me?

1327
01:55:18,750 --> 01:55:19,833
This is amazing.

1328
01:55:19,916 --> 01:55:23,166
- Our first prom-goers have arrived.
- Yeah.

1329
01:55:23,250 --> 01:55:26,875
- Girls, this is unbelievable.
- Oh, look at you. You're so beautiful!

1330
01:55:26,958 --> 01:55:30,375
You look incredible, sweetheart!

1331
01:55:30,458 --> 01:55:33,041
- Can you believe we pulled this off?
- I can't!

1332
01:55:33,125 --> 01:55:35,666
And kids are coming
from all over the state.

1333
01:55:35,750 --> 01:55:39,250
- We're letting them in in one minute.
- So let's do this right.

1334
01:56:52,041 --> 01:56:53,583
- Oh, my God!
- What?

1335
01:56:53,666 --> 01:56:55,625
I just got the call!

1336
01:56:56,291 --> 01:56:58,708
Tina Louise has shingles!

1337
01:56:58,791 --> 01:57:02,000
They want me to go on as Roxie Hart!

1338
01:57:02,083 --> 01:57:03,541
What'd you tell 'em?

1339
01:57:03,625 --> 01:57:06,458
- I said, "No way. I got a prom to go to."
- Attagirl!

1340
01:57:06,541 --> 01:57:07,708
No! Just kiddin'.

1341
01:57:07,791 --> 01:57:11,958
I'm on the red-eye tomorrow.
So let's get this party started!

1342
01:57:12,041 --> 01:57:13,666
Yeah!

1343
01:58:01,166 --> 01:58:02,541
Hi, guys. This is Mark.

1344
01:58:17,041 --> 01:58:17,916
Okay.

1345
01:58:24,166 --> 01:58:25,541
Why are you here?

1346
01:58:28,500 --> 01:58:30,500
We have a lot to talk about.

1347
01:58:31,791 --> 01:58:32,958
But I'm here…

1348
01:58:33,958 --> 01:58:39,083
Because there is one thing that matters
to me more than anything else.

1349
01:58:44,541 --> 01:58:45,500
You.

1350
01:58:47,875 --> 01:58:49,583
You are my daughter,

1351
01:58:50,541 --> 01:58:54,458
and I have loved you
since the moment I laid eyes on you,

1352
01:58:54,541 --> 01:58:59,500
and that is never going to change.
Ever. Okay?

1353
01:58:59,583 --> 01:59:01,916
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay.

1354
01:59:15,958 --> 01:59:17,291
Ooh!

1355
01:59:17,375 --> 01:59:19,250
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay. Okay.

1356
01:59:19,333 --> 01:59:21,166
- Go ahead.
- No, come on.

1357
01:59:21,250 --> 01:59:22,125
Okay.

1358
01:59:32,291 --> 01:59:35,083
What do you prefer? Gardenias or orchids?

1359
01:59:35,166 --> 01:59:37,541
- For what?
- Your corsage.

1360
01:59:39,208 --> 01:59:40,208
Gardenias.

1361
01:59:41,958 --> 01:59:42,791
All right.

1362
02:00:00,166 --> 02:00:04,041
- Don't let me destroy him.
- I'll try my best.

1363
02:00:08,333 --> 02:00:14,250
- Is this what not failing feels like?
- Yeah. I think it is.

1364
02:00:15,125 --> 02:00:17,500
- Pretty good, huh?
- Yeah!
