Out With Dad (2010) s02e11 Episode Script
Out with Doubts
- Oh, Vanessa.
- Hey.
How are you? Not bad, how are you? I'm good.
But I miss hanging out with you.
I miss you too.
It sucks.
My mom won't even acknowledge anything that happened.
Or that you even exist, for that matter.
I see that you're hanging out with - Ryan Brown a lot lately.
- Yeah.
He's a little awkward.
But, he's really sweet.
And he's like, totally in love with me.
Oh, that's cute.
I guess so.
Who are you here with? Claire Daniels? Do you know her? No.
No, not really.
Well, you better not keep her waiting.
So at this stage, if we get final approval on these changes, then we can move ahead to the permit stage.
Right, right.
OK.
Well right away, I can tell you that you've nailed these aspects.
But when it comes to the graphic elements, we're gonna need marketing's approval.
Linda, could I get Ed or Cam in here? Ed's really good at this shit, design stuff.
This one time Johnson, he gets this used RX-8, his dream car.
Going around acting like it's no big deal.
But he's psyched as shit about it, right? He's obviously overcompensating for, you know, certain deficiencies, right? So, Ed gets Photoshopping.
I don't know how he does it.
But he manages to make a perfect replica of an Ontario license plate Only, it's one of those vanity plates.
Sucks Cock! I fucking shit you not! We put it on his car.
He goes around in this thing for two weeks! Two weeks of Johnson proclaiming to the world that he's a fag, and doesn't even know it.
Oh, he was so pissed when he found out.
I couldn't stop laughing.
I was just telling them about Johnson's new licence plate.
Oh fuck! I swear that fucking guy left it on, on purpose! Oh god, could you imagine if he went on the 407 with that shit? - No I can't! - Yeah, that's right!! Johnson! - I can't! - Try, try! Rose! Hey guys.
My lady Would you come to the semi-formal with me? Why sir, it would be my pleasure.
They're a cute couple.
Yeah, he's been, like, in love with her since the beginning of grade nine.
We should go.
Where? To the dance? You and me? - It's To the dance? - Yeah.
As a couple? Yeah You know, we could save each other some cash.
Oh I'm not I'm not ready, for a public appearance yet.
Oh, hey.
Yeah, that's that's totally cool.
I'm not ready either.
I mean, I just thought we could save some cash.
Or you know, like, go as friends.
But, it's totally cool.
Whatever whatever you decide.
Well I'll think about it? OK! Yeah! Think about it.
Whatever you decide, just let me know.
I've got to go.
I've got to get to gym class.
OK, yeah Whatever you decide.
See you later.
Was that to me? - Yeah - Yeah You know Claire Daniels, right? 'Cause I saw you to hanging out.
Like, more than once.
I I I sorta know her.
Is it true that she's gay? - I I don't know.
- Well, she has gym in first period and, like, all those girls have to change at the same time as her.
So, if she's gay, then doesn't that make it totally uncool for everyone else? They have to get undressed in front of her.
There should be, like, a lesbian only change room.
I never thought of that before.
Honestly, I'm totally OK - with people being gay.
- Yeah, yeah I'm not homophobic either, but It's just so unfair.
Completely unfair.
Anyways, you gonna finish up the run? I think we're going to cut out early.
It's last period and all.
- I think I'm going to keep at it.
- Alright, see you.
- Hey, Dad.
- I need a hug.
I had a terrible day.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You know, you amaze me with your strength.
Thanks? Do, do people What? I know you're not, out out, out out out.
Out.
But, do you ever have to listen to, or put up with homophobic crap, you know? No.
OK good! Dad, this is Toronto, I don't think I'm ever gonna have to deal with stuff like that.
Can we sit down? In just a second.
So Oh, sorry, I didn't even ask you.
How was your day? It was fine.
So, there's this girl.
You mean, Claire? Yes How did you know? I'm your father.
I know these things.
Besides, I have you bugged.
Dad, I'm trying to be serious right now.
OK.
- So, Claire.
- So, Claire.
She kind of asked me out today.
To the semi-formal.
And you're not sure if you're comfortable with that? Do you have me bugged? Please, parenting skills.
Seeing as how you know everything about me, before I do, including my own sexual orientation Why don't I just let you tell me what I should do? That's not part of my job description.
What do you want to do? Well, I don't know.
That's why I'm asking.
Well, what do you not want to do? Well, I know I don't want to go.
But, that's not the point.
It's more Vanessa? Sorry, go on.
I mean, is it too soon? She's taking Ryan Brown to the semi-formal.
Which I know is totally not her idea.
I bet her mom is making her do it.
Her mom and Mrs.
Brown are friends or something? I just feel I feel guilty.
I think I kind of like Claire.
Well, she's really nice to me.
And she's really smart.
Like, she doesn't know a lot about school stuff.
But she knows a lot about, like, rights and issues.
She's really confident.
And funny and pretty OK, I get it! I feel guilty because Well, because I like Claire and that conflicts with my feelings for Vanessa.
How do you know these things? Because, I'm not a stranger to dating.
I'm going remember going through the same things you're going through.
You're new to this.
Dating is very exciting.
It's very confusing.
But it's very exciting.
Sometimes old feelings are hard to let go of.
When you don't want to betray someone.
But, it's not her fault.
And I still care about her.
I hate to say it, but you're gonna break some hearts in your lifetime.
Even your own on occasion.
I wish I could tell you that everything is gonna be OK, but, things don't always turn out that way.
Vanessa is gonna have to figure that out for herself.
But, in the meantime, shouldn't I wait? Well, that's something you've got to figure out for yourself.
It sucks.
But, I mean, it doesn't really matter.
It's not like I'm ready to come out to the whole school now anyways.
Now that's something I don't have experience with.
