Out With Dad (2010) s04e02 Episode Script
Reconnecting with Alicia
- Rose - Alicia! Oh, thank you so much for messaging me.
Of course, I just wish I reconnected sooner.
I mean, I know how intimidating the first few weeks at University can be.
So, how was it? Good, I'm glad all the welcome-to stuff is over with.
Down to classes and real university-type stuff.
You know? It's like that every year.
So which way do you want to go? Yeah.
OK, so.
First month? - Little overwhelming? - Yup.
I'm tired of everybody asking me to sign up for every club.
- And the frosh games? Urgh - Oh, exactly.
I've just basically turned them all out.
I knew you'd feel that way.
- Am I that predictable? - Well, I mean I'm not saying it as a bad thing.
I just know you like to keep your own company.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I am trying to get out of my shell.
But, I'm an introvert at heart.
Do you know what the actual definition of an introvert is? Someone who derives energy from solitude, as opposed to the extrovert who derives energy from being around others.
Nice.
Most people don't know that.
They just think being an introvert means you're quiet.
Yup.
And it just so happens that I am quiet, also.
I don't think of you that way.
I mean, maybe before I met you.
But anyone, who gets to know you wouldn't say you're quiet! Never thought about that before.
OK, so I haven't joined every club here.
But they do have a pretty amazing GSA.
And since we were never allowed to have one in high school, I joined right away.
So, - you should join too.
- Urgh Listen, please can you consider it? Look, I don't want to put a label on myself again.
University is a fresh start.
I'm just plain Rose here.
I don't want to be Rose-the-Lesbian anymore.
Well attending a GSA doesn't mean you're Rose-the-anything! I go I'm still pretty straight.
- Touché.
- Look, OK.
Just please come with me to the next meeting.
I want to prove you wrong so bad Oh, and Morgan, the trans-guy, he goes.
OK well, maybe.
I'll go if I can sit in the back and not say anything.
Deal! So, speaking of high school - do you still keep in touch with anybody else? - No.
OK, one person.
But, like not a lot.
- Just mostly online, a little - Claire? Yes.
I still kind of hate myself for what happened.
- You shouldn't.
- That's debatable.
Oh, hold on.
Crap I have no sense of time! I have a class now.
I'm really sorry.
- It's fine.
- Walk with me? Sure.
OK, burning question.
What about Vanessa? She is I w.
It You know, I'm actually in a really good mood right now.
Can we not talk about that? - Of course, I'm sorry.
- No, I'm sorry.
No, no, it's fine.
I'm sorry, so sorry.
- Like, that was a lot of sorrys.
- You can tell we're Canadian.
So, you're seeing anyone? Uhm Yeah, actually.
There's this gentleman in my life.
He works at the Jersey Giant, you know, over on Front.
Oh, yeah, I know it.
I was just there with my Dad.
Oh! Coincidence What about you? - Anyone special in your life? - God no! I have no interest in dating! The concept stresses me out - What? - "Stresses you out"?! OK, how do I explain? OK, so for you say you see a guy.
Chances are he's probably straight.
That's easy.
Insert romantic scenario for two.
- But for me, it's - Right, you see a girl and then you have to assess whether or not she's gay.
More like, I'm not even gonna bother assessing because any scenario that would come of it would be "a thing".
There would be judgement.
There would be people looking.
Right! Privileged hetero girl here, sorry! So just going on a date, that's making a statement? Holding hands is a statement! Pardon my naïveté, but is it really? I'm probably making something out of nothing.
But Like, I recognized that we live in one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world, but I have spent my entire life trying to do everything I can to not draw attention to myself.
Right! And we're back to the introvert thing again Yes! And that was the thing about Claire.
Like she didn't give the flying f flock of fury flamingos about what other people thought No No, she is fearless.
God, I'm such a jack-ass! I wish I had the chance to apologize to her.
Well, why don't you? I mean, you could clearly use some closure.
What am I gonna do? Call her? Facebook-message her? Hey, sorry about the shenanigans so many years ago! But she's gonna be home for Thanksgiving! Why not just meet her then? She's spent the last three years hating me.
I don't think she just wanna go for coffee.
Well you might be surprised.
This is me - Drinks next week? - Yes, absolutely.
And we'll pick a time when I don't have - to bail on you after five minutes.
- It's fine, really.
I should probably go to the library.
OK.
How about Jersey Giant, next Thursday.
Yes, and I can meet your new guy.
- I like that.
- Cool.
Rose Don't be so hard on yourself.
Thanks.
