Out With Dad (2010) s02e03 Episode Script
Having It Out
This book is so gay.
- You're such a fag.
- No, come on, you're a fag.
Did you see Chelsey Winter's new haircut? Yeah, I feel so bad for her, - she looks like a lezbo now.
- I know - I couldn't show my face if I were her.
- It's so embarrassing.
Oh, sorry.
- I didn't realize that anyone was in here.
- It's OK.
- Are you OK? - Yeah, I'm just I'm sort of worked up about something.
- Like high school in general? - Yeah.
We all have to be the victim at some point.
Some more than others.
Yeah.
Thanks, by the way.
Don't worry about it.
I don't even know you.
Nice necklace.
Thanks.
It was my mom's.
It's nice.
I should probably get going, I I have to be in class.
Me too.
See you later? Yeah.
See ya - Mr.
Miller.
- Theresa, I haven't seen you for a long time.
- That's been a while.
- Yeah, umm Vanessa's not here right now.
The girls haven't come home from school yet.
I've actually come to speak with you, Mr.
Miller.
It's Nathan, please.
Um - Come in, come in.
- Thank you.
Excuse the mess.
I have some concerns about our girls.
Concerns? Hum As you know, our daughters are very close.
My husband and I have noticed some changes in their behaviour in the last little while, and We don't like how it's affecting Vanessa.
We're noticing changes in her school grades, her attitude, her attention And we really think it's time that we step in and do something before it becomes a greater problem.
Look, I'm not here to lay any blame or point fingers.
I want to make that really, really clear.
This can't be easy for you, doing this on your own.
We just think there are certain values that need to be upheld Before it's too late.
Values? Yes.
We're the parents.
We're responsible for them.
What's your take on all this? I think we have different values.
While obviously you don't approve, I'm actually quite proud of Rose! And it sounds like Vanessa's just - Scared.
- Scared? Of being gay.
I don't like what you're suggesting, Mr.
Miller.
I'm not suggest I just, I'm just trying to say I'm just trying to say They're going through They're going through the biggest thing in their lives.
They're trying to figure out who they are.
And I agree, we have a responsibility to My Vanessa is a normal girl.
And I'm sorry that your Rose is c confused.
- She's not confused! - But my husband and I have a responsibility to protect our daughter.
And I don't want Rose's confusion influencing Vanessa.
- Influencing!? - Influencing her any more than it already has.
It's It's not my place to tell you how to parent, or what your parenting style should be.
But it is my prerogative, as Vanessa's mother, to forbid her from seeing Rose again.
No, no.
You can't do that.
The girls are lucky to have each other to go through this together.
Vanessa, my daughter, is not the problem, Mr.
Miller.
Have I made myself clear? I assure you, Mrs.
LeMay, you have.
Well then I thank you for your time, Mr.
Miller.
And I'm very sorry about Rose.
Hey.
Hi.
Can we talk? Um, I'm not really feeling that well.
Listen, I It's just Well, you were a real bitch to me.
- Rose, I - No, shut up and listen.
OK? It's just This is huge.
I've finally figured something out.
Something that maybe I've always known but I just couldn't figure it out.
And you've always known.
And maybe you're not ready, or Maybe your parents aren't ready.
Or whatever.
But You can't just kiss me one day, and then shrug me off the next! This back and forth, and back and forth again, thing, - it is just too much! - Rose, you have to understand.
And you called me a qu You made it sound so mean.
That hurt! Don't ever do that again! You're my best friend, ever.
I love you.
I worship you.
You're amazing.
You're funny.
You're smart.
You've never said a mean thing to me in your life.
I'm sorry.
I'm just I'm scared! Don't you get it? My parents will disown me.
- I can't let that happen.
- You don't know that.
Yeah I do! Look at what they did to my brother I thought he moved away.
Yeah, well he had to He's married to her now, and it's like It's like he's dead to them.
What do you think they would do if they found out that I'm gay? - So you are? - No! No! I can't be.
Just I can't be.
Besides, I like guys! And you know that It seems like you like me too.
You kissed me and it was like the best moment of my life.
Oh no You have to go right now.
- So, it is true? - Mom It's OK, she's just saying hi.
- You sad, confused, little girl! - Mom! - Mrs.
LeMay, I just came - I I'm gonna have to ask you to stay away from my daughter.
Vanessa's nothing like you.
I'll thank you for staying away from my family, until you've sorted yourself out and gained some perspective.
Do you understand me? - Rose, what's wrong? - It's Vanessa.
It was terrible.
Her mom just showed up and she was insane.
It was like she already knew, and Vanessa, she just left me standing there.
What? Blossom, this might be my fault.
What? Mrs.
LeMay and I spoke today.
And I - She seemed like she already - She what? She started talking about you and Vanessa.
How you two were How you both You outed me? - I thought she knew.
- Do you know what she said to me? She called me a sad, confused, little girl.
She was so condescending.
And now she says that me and Vanessa can't even be friends anymore.
How could you do that? - I I No, I thought she - You don't get to out me.
That's for me to do.
I've never been so I hate you right now! Text reviewed by Michel Cantigneaux Coming out isn't easy.
