Out With Dad (2010) s03e03 Episode Script
Storming in & Out
What the hell? Dad! - What are you doing back? - Dad? What the hell is this? Oh! This couldn't be more perfect.
What's wrong? What is going on? No, no, not you! It's my daughter and some other girl What did you do to your hair? I'm trying to be accepting of our daughter's lesbian-lifestyle choices.
Lesbian-lifestyle? No, no, not you.
My daughter.
It's not a "lifestyle".
We were just kissing.
Oh sweet.
I knew it.
You knew about this? No, it's my son! My son is not a lesbian, - that doesn't even make any sense.
- Ted, what Claire is trying to say is that she's a homosexual.
And this is her lesbian girlfriend.
It was terrible.
I just wanted to get out of there.
I thought Claire's dad wasn't in the picture.
Yeah I know.
They must have some serious problems.
Wait a minute.
When you said "walked in"? It was nothing.
"Nothing"? We were kissing.
And it was nice.
Like, really nice.
Hi Mr.
Miller.
Is Rose here? Of course.
Claire, come in.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's OK! If you want to see me, I'll be in the office.
I totally lied to you about not having a dad.
Yeah, what was up with that? It's just that I'm not lying when I say he is not a part of my life.
He isn't! He's always at work.
And when he's not at work, he's at home wih his conference calls, his power points and his e-mails.
I don't even know what he does! Just that it's like really important.
And my mom is so alone because of it, she can never leave the house.
My little brother is a total doofus, because he's never around.
And then there's me.
I've tried to come out to him so many times! He doesn't even know his own daughter.
I'm actually glad that he walked in on us Except for the fact that you're probably totally mortified.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's OK! I just I'm sorry to be dumping this on you.
I didn't know where to go.
I can't stay at home.
I've never felt so unwelcome anywhere.
Stay here a minute.
I'm gonna ask my dad something.
Dad? Hey! How is she? She is really torn up about it.
And she does not want to go home.
So I was wondering if it was OK, that maybe she could spend the night.
I'm sorry, Rose I - I don't think that's a good idea - It's not a school night.
You can't I can't allow you to have a girl sleep over.
It wouldn't be like that though.
She could sleep on the couch, or on my floor or something.
No, Rose.
Her mom and dad are being totally unreasonable.
I just I don't like the idea of you having a girlfriend over.
She's not like my girlfriend-girlfriend.
- She's just a girl who's - Rose you were just telling me that the two of you were kissing, and now you're asking if she can sleep over? - No! - Those two things are totally unrelated.
It's not your decision.
So, if Claire were a boy, it would be fine? Am I never allowed to have any girls-who-are-friends stay over ever again because I'm - This is so unfair.
- It might not seem like it.
You have been the most understanding person ever about me being and now this? - Like, what the hell? - Hey! Watch your tone.
Seriously? If I was straight she could stay? It would be a different story.
Do you think I'm gonna get pregnant or something? Rose, it's not about that.
There's a lot more at stake here.
And the fact that you don't know that is reason enough.
OK Fine.
Tell me what's at stake? I'm old enough.
No.
I'm not gonna have this discussion right now, not when you have a guest in the other room.
Now she's just a guest.
All dads suck today.
Come on, let's go.
Coming out isn't easy, for anyone.
