Out With Dad (2010) s02e06 Episode Script

Hey, honey.
Good night, Kenny.
Thank you.
Good night.
I made you tea.
I need to go to bed.
We don't go to bed angry in this family.
I don't need you to forgive me.
- I just need you to - I'm not angry.
I'm just devastated.
I can't remember a time before her.
And now, she's gone.
Rose.
I don't hate you.
I just need to go to bed.
O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet.
Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this? 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? Is it nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man.
Ethan? What's so funny? Nothing sir, it's just, I don't get why we're reading this.
I mean, it's not like family feuds really happen anymore.
Well, that's true Ethan.
But that doesn't make this out of date.
There are plenty of modern day reasons why two people can't be together.
Have seat guys, good job.
This is the core conflict of Romeo and Juliet.
Yet, we could easily substitute any number of reasons why two lovers can be kept apart that exist today.
What are some examples? Race? Race, yes.
Exactly.
Class? Like, if she was a servant.
Oh definitely.
Religion? Exactly, religion.
Class, race, religion.
All very good answers.
Let's name some more.
Anyone? A few more answers, guys.
Guys, a few more? For homework, I want you all to read up to the end of act two.
And there will be a quiz some time this week! So, be ready for it! Something wrong, Miss Miller? No.
Well, they didn't hate everything.
No, but there goes my weekend.
Mine too.
I'll get started on the revisions right away for the lobby, then you can do your bit.
Thanks, sorry about all that.
No It's not your fault.
I've just never had a client ask for so many revisions, you know? Yeah.
You okay? You seem kind of down.
I'm alright.
Just, family stuff.
You got kids? No! I have a roommate though.
He keeps my hands pretty full.
- Nathan! - Hey! - Uh It's a friend of mine, I'm gonna - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll see you Monday? - Yeah.
You let me know when the next client meeting is.
I'll let you know when I know.
- Thanks man.
See ya.
- Take care.
- Hey, buddy How are you? - Good! - Which way you going? - Uh.
.
This way.
Aren't you supposed to be locked away in a cubical somewhere? I had an audition.
Oh yeah? For what? Uh Some corporate gig.
But I can't complain.
Yeah, how'd it go? Felt really good, but, I don't know! - You never have any control.
- Fair enough.
And what are you doing here? Uh client meeting.
Client from hell, actually.
The guy is a bit of a dick.
But he's the client.
So whatever he wants, he gets.
- It's for that architecture firm I think I told you about.
- Ah, yeah Well, do you want to grab a bite? Sure, I've got time.
The first order of business: loose the tie.
Oh yeah.
So, uh Angela tells me you guys had a great date! I think she likes you! - Have you talked to her recently? - No.
She might have a totally different take on me now.
I kind of stood her up on, uh what-should-have-been our second date.
What? Rose and I had a big fight.
And I got totally distracted.
- What happened? - Theresa LeMay happened.
Vanessa's mom.
She came over to the house and, long story short, the way she was talking I thought she knew about Rose, and for that matter Vanessa.
So I sort of, accidentally, inadvertently, unknowingly outed them.
At least, Rose.
- Oooooh! Nathan, Nathan, Nathan.
- I know.
And now, they're forbidden to see each other.
And Rose is Well, you can imagine how she is.
I can barely get her to look at me.
She hates me.
That's ridiculous.
Rose loves you.
Well, she's not especially aware of that fact right now.
Look.
Lighten up.
You think you're the first parent who's screwed up? I don't screw up like this.
God I am such a jack-ass.
Oh my god! So you dropped the ball on this one! Do you think Rose is an idiot? She knows you didn't do this on purpose.
It doesn't matter if I meant to hurt her or not.
I've never screwed up like this, and I never want to screw up like this again.
I I just don't know what to I don't know what to do for her, or what not to do for her.
Rose doesn't need you to do anything for her.
She just needs you to be out with her.
The toughest thing for you is that, you have to realize that you can't fight all of her battles.
I'm her father.
I'm gonna want to protect her.
Especially from the Mrs.
LeMays of this world.
Rose is gonna have to deal with a lot things that you didn't have to, growing up.
And I don't want to scare you, but you're not gonna have all the answers.
She needs to surround herself with people who have had those experiences, share those stories, and learn from them.
It's just a stuff she can't learn from her father.
Johnny! You are a genius! You're a genius! I've got to go.
- I think it's tonight.
- What are you talking about? Internet! I need internet! Oh my god! You should be there too! It's like you said, experiences she can't learn from her father! Johnny! You are a genius! What are you doing here? I've decided to fulfill a father/daughter cliché, I'd like to take you out for ice cream.
That is the worst apology ever.
But is it effective? Come on, I've already got a good place in mind.
I even brought your change of clothes, so you can get out that.
I brought your comfy pants! Fine.
Trust me, you won't regret it.
Hi, Vanessa? - Oh, hey Alicia.
- What are you doing here? I just like to study in the park sometimes.
It's more peaceful than at home.
I get that.
I know we don't know each other very well, but I was wondering if I could ask you for some advice? - Kenny? - Yes.
He likes you.
He's had a crush on you since, grade nine? Well, since we've been in grade nine.
He's just been too chicken to do anything about it.
- He finally asked you out, eh? - He did.
We've hung out a bit.
He's very sweet, and he's a gentleman.
I just Rose Miller? Yeah.
Don't worry.
They're just friends.
Rose's affections lie elsewhere.
Rose seemed really upset the other night.
Something about her dad, you You know Ryan Brown, right? We're in many of the same classes.
He's an He keeps to himself mostly.
He goes to my church.
I'm kind of being set up with him.
- That's lovely! - Is it? - It It's our parents doing.
- Sure, it is.
He seems very nice and he's He's made fun of a lot, as I'm sure you know.
That's why he's so shy.
What I'm trying to say is, I'd be really happy for him if the two of you He is kind of cute.
Adorable, really! - So it's not, like, too much of a charity case or ? - You said it yourself, he's very cute.
Rose was in quite a state, the other night.
- You seem to be really important to her.
- I know.
I know, but, um There's no You taking that one? I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry.
I just don't want anyone to be upset.
That's just the way it has to be.
Johnny? - Johnny! What a coincidence! - Hey, Nathan.
Hey, Rose.
What are you doing here? Oh, I was just going to the PFLAG sharing meeting, just around the corner at the community centre.
Would you like to join me? Dad! It's no wonder you're an out of work actor.
You suck at this.
- Sorry Rose.
- It's okay.
How are you doing, sweetie? Alright.
I've been better.
I mean, we should check out the meeting.
I've never been, but, you might hear some stories that'll give you some perspective.
Gain some perspective.
That's what Mrs.
LeMay told me I need to do.
Okay.
Let's go.
