Coming Out (2013) s01e09 Episode Script
Familia
Jesus you'd do anything to get noticed, wouldn't you? Nice to see you too, mom.
Can you explain this to me? Can you explain this to me? Mom, in 10 years, is this the only thing you have to say? What do you want me to say? I don't get it.
You were always popular with girls, and then you tell me you're gay, and now, you're and then you tell me you're gay, and now, you're A woman, yes.
Over time, I realized I was better in a woman's body.
I know that it's hard for you to understand, but for me I always knew I liked men, but now I know I'm not gay, I'm just like you.
But now I know I'm not gay, I'm just like you.
Like me? - Yes! A woman who likes men.
I was just born in the wrong body.
Okay, I've heard enough.
I know it's a lot to take in, but I miss you, mom.
Let go of me.
I already lost your sister, I can't lose my son as well.
You can't lose him, because he never existed.
And now, your other daughter is sitting in front of you, and would like to talk to you.
So to what do I owe this visit, Mat? Well, where do I start? Start by the beginning, are you still with Ian? - Yes, Ian, that's it.
Why not? Well, at first, it was him who left me, and recently, we started to see each other again.
I'm the one who ended things.
And for what reason? Lack of confidence.
On his behalf? - On mine.
I thought we'd worked through it last time? I guess I didn't work hard enough! It doesn't matter now, he's with someone else.
How do you feel? Disappointed? In him? - In me! Where does this lack of confidence come from? Have you seen your father recently? Why don't you go see him? Don't you think you're ready now? He still lives at the same place? Yeah, I think so.
Remember what I told you? Time waits for no one! Exactly.
And now, time has worked its magic.
You're ready to deal with your past.
It will enable you to choose your future, or else, you'll always remain in the same conflicting schemes.
You should have come out with us, Bryan came, Mike what a party.
(small talk) Hey gorgeous.
You don't return my calls? Olivier? Do you know this guy? Can I help you, sir? So you're just gay when you choose to be, is that it? Sir, my colleague just told you he doesn't know you.
That's right, he only knows me when his dick is in my ass! Sir, you are talking to a police officer.
So what? Are you going to pepper spray me? It's ok.
This is job, for fuck's sake.
You can't choose when you're gay and when you aren't.
That's it, move along, queer.
Stop.
That's it, move along.
No, you stop you fucking asshole.
If you really want to know, yes I know him.
See you tonight? With pleasure.
Do you have a problem with this? That's it then.
Hey, mom.
- Hello.
Is dad here? - Yes How are you? What are you doing here, Jean-Mathieu? Don't call me that, you know it's Mat.
You didn't have to change your last name as well That was my choice.
No longer wanted to be related to him.
Please, don't start.
- I want to talk to him.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Why are you protecting him? - I'm not protecting him, but your father has his opinions, and you have yours.
And disowning his son because he's gay, is that really a good idea? - Your father made choices, just like you did by choosing to come out Because you think that it was a choice? You think I wanted everyone, even my own father, to look at me like I was a freak? To be judged? To be cheated on every time someone comes into my life? Okay, so you came here to blame us for your lifestyle? Why don't you just leave him? You're not happy! I love your father.
No one is perfect.
And to fuck up our family because you can't see what an ass - Don't talk like that about your father.
He's a good man.
He's a man who doesn't want to talk to his son.
Give him time.
After all this It's my fault, right? Come on, no.
Stop Olivier, I need a break now! I can't wait to be in my new place! Would you want me to move in with you? You don't? Why not? It's my girls, you know Yeah, so? I wanted to wait before telling them.
Ok, so if I understand correctly, you don't want to tell them their dad is gay? Don't be so dramatic.
I didn't create all this drama, you did! When are you going to be honest with everyone? Coming out also means accepting that you won't please everyone, Olivier.
And hiding me from your daughters is anything but cute.
Yes Mr Tremblay? Yes, it's Caroline, yes, the social worker.
