This is America.
Some places don't change.
What do you mean? It means that you can't go in wearing a blouse and jeans with the knees cut out, Victor.
- What are you saying? - I'm not trying to say anything about you.
But I just remember when we were campaigning with the president in those backwood towns.
And they're not gonna accept you looking like that.
- I'm going.
- Do you have any idea how many states in the south have laws against gay marriage and everything we stand for? I'm going.
Victor, you cannot do that.
They're gonna tear you apart.
I'm not letting you go.
You're not letting me go? No.
See, that's the problem.
You always tried to control me.
I've had enough.
And I'm going.
I I should go.
I mean, that's the best damn thing she's said all day.
Look.
You're not getting on that bus.

I won't.
I'm gonna drive you.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
- Thank you.

You can't drive me.
I don't wanna hear it.

Can I talk to you for a minute in private? No.
You've never been in the south, the deep south, in some place called Happy, Alabama.
- And? - And it's a different place than here.
This is America.
Some places don't change.
What do you mean? It means that you can't go in wearing a blouse and jeans with the knees cut out, Victor.
- What are you saying? - I'm not trying to say anything about you.
But I just remember when we were campaigning with the president in those backwood towns.
And they're not gonna accept you looking like that.
- I'm going.
- Do you have any idea how many states in the south have laws against gay marriage and everything we stand for? I'm going.
Victor, you cannot do that.
They're gonna tear you apart.
I'm not letting you go.
You're not letting me go? No.
See, that's the problem.
You always tried to control me.
I've had enough.
And I'm going.
I I should go.
I mean, that's the best damn thing she's said all day.
Look.
You're not getting on that bus.
They're gonna hound you all the way there.

I won't.
I'm gonna drive you.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
- Thank you.
- Victor What are you doing? I'm going.
That's what I'm doing.
