1 00:00:11 Let's get to it.
2 00:00:12 All those in favor...
3 00:00:16 All opposed.
4 00:00:20 Well, the PTA has an accepted set of rules concerning the prom.
5 00:00:24 Young ladies must wear non-revealing dresses.
6 00:00:26 Young men must wear suits or tuxes.
7 00:00:29 And if a student chooses to bring a date,
8 00:00:30 they must be of the opposite sex.
9 00:00:32 Well, can't you just ban this student?
10 00:00:35 Well, we've been advised
11 00:00:36 that there may be some legal repercussions
12 00:00:38 if we prevent this girl from attending,
13 00:00:40 so although it breaks my heart, we have no choice.
14 00:00:42 - There won't be a prom. - Mrs. Greene, a question.
15 00:00:45 Have you asked the students what they think of this?
16 00:00:48 Are you choosing not to comment?
17 00:00:50 Hey, there's Emma! Emma, can we get a comment?
18 00:00:52 Can you answer some questions?
19 00:00:54 Emma! Emma, can we get a statement?
20 00:00:56 Emma, what do you think of the PTA's decision to cancel prom?
21 00:00:59 Emma, do you have a response?
22 00:01:44 It's Frank DiLella with New York 1's On Stage.
23 00:01:46 We're here for the opening night of Eleanor!
24 00:01:48 The Eleanor Roosevelt Musical,
25 00:01:50 starring the incomparable Dee Dee Allen.
26 00:01:54 - Dee Dee! You're a Broadway star. - Yes, I am.
27 00:01:58 You have your choice of roles. What drew you to Eleanor?
28 00:02:02 Well, Eleanor Roosevelt was a brave, powerful, charismatic woman
29 00:02:07 who no one had ever heard of.
30 00:02:09 Her story needs to be told.
31 00:02:11 People need to know it is possible to change the world,
32 00:02:15 whether you're a homely middle-aged First Lady
33 00:02:19 or a Broadway star!
34 00:02:21 Barry Glickman! You were brilliant as FDR.
35 00:02:24 From the moment I first stepped into FDR's shoes...
36 00:02:26 And when I say "shoes," I mean wheelchair.
37 00:02:28 I had an epiphany.
38 00:02:30 I realized there is no difference
39 00:02:32 between the president of the United States and a celebrity.
40 00:02:36 We both have power. The power to change the world.
41 00:02:40 It's a weighty responsibility.
42 00:02:43 Let's talk process.
43 00:02:45 When I'm in character, I go insane
44 00:02:48 I stagger, I stammer, I sob
45 00:02:51 I make the audiences feel my pain
46 00:02:54 And if they don't leave depressed. Then I've not done my job
47 00:02:58 Each time I find a role like Eleanor
48 00:03:01 The artist inside of me thrives
49 00:03:05 I put on that wig and those prosthetic teeth
50 00:03:08 And know I'm changing lives
51 00:03:12 By the time I get tuberculosis in act two
52 00:03:19 Even the people who are dead inside
53 00:03:22 Will shout, "Bravo," on cue!
54 00:03:25 Bravo!
55 00:03:27 The first review is in. New Jersey Star-Ledger.
56 00:03:30 Don't tell me...
57 00:03:32 Unless it's a rave or a mixed-positive.
58 00:03:36 It says we're a hit!
59 00:03:39 Oh, my God!
60 00:03:53 We're a hit and I think we deserve it
61 00:03:57 That's for sure
62 00:04:00 Also, it means that this tour de force
63 00:04:03 Will not be forced to tour
64 00:04:05 To Eleanor! May she run for eternity!
65 00:04:08 To Eleanor!
66 00:04:11 Cheers to a show that's so inspiring
67 00:04:15 It's almost too much to sit through
68 00:04:18 And if we run, that might mean one more thing
69 00:04:21 That in ten years or so
70 00:04:23 We'll do Eleanor Two!
71 00:04:25 I can predict what the reviews will say
72 00:04:28 Before the next notice arrives
73 00:04:31 It's ground-breaking
74 00:04:33 - Earth-shaking! - Life-affirming!
75 00:04:34 - Breathtaking - Gut-wrenching!
76 00:04:36 - Heart-aching - In two words, it's history-making
77 00:04:39 That's why every actor strives
78 00:04:41 For adulation
79 00:04:44 And compensation
80 00:04:47 That comes from nightly
81 00:04:50 Changing lives!
82 00:04:57 It's just what we do.
83 00:04:59 The rest of the reviews are coming in!
84 00:05:02 New York Post, Associated Press, New York Times.
85 00:05:05 The New York Times!
86 00:05:13 What?
87 00:05:15 What's happening?
88 00:05:17 This is not a review you want when you have crappy advance sales.
89 00:05:20 This is gonna close us.
90 00:05:22 What didn't they like? Was it the hip-hop?
91 00:05:25 Yes, but not only that.
92 00:05:27 - For God's sake, Sheldon. Just read it. - What? Read.
93 00:05:31 Okay, just the highlights.
94 00:05:33 "Barry Glickman's FDR might just be the most insultingly misguided,
95 00:05:37 offensive, and laughable performance
96 00:05:39 that this reviewer has ever had
97 00:05:41 the squirming misfortune to endure."
98 00:05:46 That's not so bad.
99 00:05:48 - Do her. Do her. - I'm just saying.
100 00:05:52 "Watching Dee Dee Allen's Eleanor Roosevelt
101 00:05:54 croaking out a heavy-handed message of activism
102 00:05:57 is like paying an aging drag queen
103 00:05:59 to shove a syrup-soaked American flag down my throat."
104 00:06:03 Well, that...
105 00:06:05 That's not criticism.
106 00:06:08 That's just... It's just a per... ...a personal attack.
107 00:06:12 "If you're considering buying a ticket to this show,
108 00:06:15 do yourself a favor."
109 00:06:16 "Buy a few feet of good, heavy rope instead
110 00:06:19 and then go hang yourself."
111 00:06:21 Oh, God! Oh, God!
112 00:06:27 What? Was the show really that bad?
113 00:06:29 It's not the show. It's you two.
114 00:06:32 You're just not likeable.
115 00:06:35 - What? - What?
116 00:06:36 Nobody likes a narcissist.
117 00:06:39 - Oh, this... - Oh, that.
118 00:06:40 Leave it to me. I'll go and try
119 00:06:42 and change the narrative once again.
120 00:06:44 I hate this world! This is bullshit!
121 00:06:45 Just horrible. It's just... It hurts.
122 00:06:48 It... It hurts my heart.
123 00:06:52 Where did everybody go?
124 00:06:55 - What can I get you? - Yola Mezcal blackberry smash.
125 00:06:59 My condolences, Dee Dee.
126 00:07:01 But remember, you have friends.
127 00:07:04 Thank you. Who are you?
128 00:07:07 Trent Oliver.
129 00:07:11 - We've done five shows together. - Oh, really? Oh, my God.
130 00:07:14 Trent went to Juilliard. Won't shut up about it.
131 00:07:16 - Oh, right, Trent! Of course, Trent! - Trent.
132 00:07:22 Why are you dressed like a waiter?
133 00:07:24 I'm in between gigs at the moment.
134 00:07:26 Honestly, Dee Dee, I feel adrift
135 00:07:29 as I did in my days before Juilliard.
136 00:07:31 Oh, my God.
137 00:07:32 You see, my passions are fueled by the power of Lady Theater
138 00:07:35 and how she can, with a gentle touch of her hand,
139 00:07:39 sculpt a human soul.
140 00:07:41 - You know, but we learned at Juilliard... - Oh, mother of God.
141 00:07:43 If I could soliloquize, "If you prick me, do I not bleed?"
142 00:07:49 And if you do not pay me, do I not still act?"
143 00:07:52 That might be enough.
144 00:07:53 Still, I have played Hamlet,
145 00:07:56 and yet I'm only known as that guy
146 00:07:59 from the beloved early aughts' sitcom...
147 00:08:02 Talk to the Hand.
148 00:08:07 I question the very meaning of my existence.
149 00:08:13 Maggie Smith once approached me in a men's bathroom and she said,
150 00:08:17 "Who sent you? Was it Michelle Dockery?"
151 00:08:20 Because the court said 500 yards."
152 00:08:22 You could tell she was scared.
153 00:08:23 - Hey, guys! - Angie! Angie.
154 00:08:27 I'm sorry your show closed on opening night again!
155 00:08:32 Welcome to the world of the unemployed. Top me off.
156 00:08:35 I thought you were in Chicago.
157 00:08:37 I just quit.
158 00:08:40 Twenty years in the chorus
159 00:08:41 and they still wouldn't let me play Roxie Hart.
160 00:08:44 You wanna know who's playing the role instead?
161 00:08:46 - Kelly Ripa? - Cher?
162 00:08:47 - Connie Chung. - Kris Jenner?
163 00:08:49 No, Tina Louise.
164 00:08:51 Ginger from Gilligan's Island.
165 00:08:54 Oh, my God, is she still alive?
166 00:09:10 We're wasting our lives.
167 00:09:13 It's true. At least we're all in the same boat.
168 00:09:16 "Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows."
169 00:09:20 - Oh, my God. - That's from The Tempest.
170 00:09:22 Okay, one, shut up. Two, I refuse to give up, okay?
171 00:09:26 We're... We're still celebrities. We still have power.
172 00:09:31 Now, The Times sort of castrated you as it were.
173 00:09:35 Yep. They wrote you off as aging narcissists.
174 00:09:38 I still don't understand what's wrong with that.
175 00:09:41 There's a very simple way that we can still love ourselves
176 00:09:45 yet appear to be decent human beings, okay?
177 00:09:50 We will become celebrity activists.
178 00:09:54 - Right? - Brilliant!
179 00:09:55 - All we need is a cause. - A cause célèbre.
180 00:09:58 Everybody think of some causes. Go.
181 00:09:59 - Um, poverty? - Too big.
182 00:10:02 World hunger.
183 00:10:03 That is also a major thing. No, we need something we can handle.
184 00:10:07 Some little injustice we can drive to. Recycling.
185 00:10:11 - Let's see what's trending. - Recycling's good.
186 00:10:13 - Like, why are there so many award shows? - Parking.
187 00:10:17 Or the TVs in the back of cabs.
188 00:10:18 Oh, yeah, what about this girl?
189 00:10:21 Oh, my gosh. Check this out.
190 00:10:22 - What girl? - It's all over Twitter.
191 00:10:26 She's from Edgewater, Indiana.
192 00:10:29 She's a lesbian.
193 00:10:30 She wanted to take her girlfriend to the high school prom,
194 00:10:33 and the PTA went apeshit and they canceled it.
195 00:10:36 They canceled prom?
196 00:10:38 - Are they allowed to do that? - No.
197 00:10:40 Principal Hawkins, your response.
198 00:10:42 The first thing I'm going to do
199 00:10:43 is contact the Indiana state's attorney.
200 00:10:45 This is not about school rules. This is a civil rights case.
201 00:10:48 Wait, seriously?
202 00:10:49 I'm betting pressure from the state's attorney
203 00:10:51 will stop these bigots cold.
204 00:10:53 It better. Because I'll tell you this much.
205 00:10:55 If word gets out, people are gonna get mad.
206 00:10:58 This pisses me off.
207 00:11:00 The next thing you know, some modern-day Eleanor Roosevelt
208 00:11:02 is gonna march down here and all hell's gonna break loose.
209 00:11:06 - We have got to go down there and raise holy hell. - Yes.
210 00:11:10 We will be the biggest thing to happen in Indiana
211 00:11:12 since... whatever's happened in Indiana.
212 00:11:14 So this is it? This is our cause?
213 00:11:16 Yes. Are you with me?
214 00:11:19 - We'll have a rally! - Yes!
215 00:11:21 - And we'll have picket signs! - We'll make T-shirts.
216 00:11:24 We'll get Sheldon to tag along. He can find us a venue.
217 00:11:28 Can we actually do this?
218 00:11:29 You bet your sweet MILF ass we can!
219 00:11:36 We are gonna prove...
220 00:11:38 That in this day and age
221 00:11:41 Being gay isn't a crime
222 00:11:45 This is our moment to change the world
223 00:11:53 - One lesbian... - Lesbian
224 00:11:56 - Lesbian - Lesbian
225 00:12:00 At a time!
226 00:12:05 We're gonna help that little lesbian
227 00:12:08 Whether she likes it or not
228 00:12:12 When you're a legendary thespian
229 00:12:15 First, you help the distressed
230 00:12:16 Then you help the distraught
231 00:12:18 We're going down to where the necks are red
232 00:12:22 And lack of dentistry thrives
233 00:12:25 Why sing and dance when you can take a stance!
234 00:12:28 And know you're truly changing lives
235 00:12:32 Okay, now we have got to get an anthem!
236 00:12:35 Like "We Are The World."
237 00:12:37 Yes, but for lesbians.
238 00:12:38 Steve Sondheim'll write us something.
239 00:12:40 He's a big fan of my Sweeney Todd.
240 00:12:41 I'll handle this.
241 00:12:42 Wait. How are we gonna get there?
242 00:12:44 I just booked a non-union tour of Godspell
243 00:12:47 and it goes straight through Indiana.
244 00:12:49 You can come with us on the bus.
245 00:12:51 See? It's all coming together!
246 00:12:54 We're gonna march until that town looks like
247 00:12:58 The end of act one of Les Mis
248 00:13:02 You don't gotta have a PhD in psych
249 00:13:05 To know that people kowtow to the folks in the biz
250 00:13:09 We're gonna teach them to be more PC
251 00:13:12 - The minute our group arrives - That's right!
252 00:13:15 - Those fist-pumping - Bible-thumping
253 00:13:17 - Spam-eating - Cousin-loving
254 00:13:19 - Cow-tipping - Shoulder-slumping
255 00:13:21 - Finger-wagging - Hoosier-humping
256 00:13:23 Losers and their homely wives
257 00:13:25 They'll learn compassion!
258 00:13:28 And better fashion
259 00:13:31 Once we at last start
260 00:13:34 Changing lives!
261 00:13:41 Now let's go start a fight.
262 00:13:56 Do you like the bears?
263 00:13:59 Yeah, you know, I'm pretty sure this breaks a few laws.
264 00:14:01 It's our way of saying thank you, Emma.
265 00:14:04 Yeah. Thanks so much for canceling prom.
266 00:14:06 I didn't cancel prom. Your parents did.
267 00:14:08 Come on, guys. Lay off her.
268 00:14:10 - Oh, are you on her side now? - No.
269 00:14:12 I'm just not in third grade. See you at practice.
270 00:14:16 Unlike your social life, this isn't over.
271 00:14:26 Note to self
272 00:14:27 Don't be gay in Indiana
273 00:14:31 Big heads-up That's a really stupid plan
274 00:14:36 There are places where it's in to be out
275 00:14:39 Maybe San Francisco or thereabout
276 00:14:42 But in Indiana, without a doubt
277 00:14:45 If you're not straight then guess what's bound to hit the fan?
278 00:14:52 Just breathe, Emma
279 00:14:55 Not everyone is that repressed
280 00:14:57 Just breathe, Emma
281 00:15:00 It wouldn't be high school Without a test
282 00:15:03 Just close your eyes and count to ten
283 00:15:06 Go to your happy place
284 00:15:08 And then try not to combust
285 00:15:12 Just breathe
286 00:15:23 Emma. Who's this girl
287 00:15:26 you were gonna bring to the prom, anyway?
288 00:15:28 I didn't know we had more than one lesbo in town.
289 00:15:30 - You don't know her. She's new here. - Like an exchange student?
290 00:15:34 Maybe.
291 00:15:36 Well, then why don't you, like, exchange her for a guy?
292 00:15:39 Dude! Nice!
293 00:15:45 Note to self People suck in Indiana
294 00:15:51 Leave today Pray the Greyhound isn't full
295 00:15:56 Who knew asking out a girl to the prom
296 00:15:59 Would go over just like an atom bomb
297 00:16:02 And make things much worse with your dad and mom
298 00:16:06 And who'd have ever thought that could be possible?
299 00:16:13 Just breathe, Emma
300 00:16:16 Picture a beach with golden sand
301 00:16:19 Just breathe, Emma
302 00:16:22 Picture a Xanax in your hand
303 00:16:24 Try journaling or start a blog
304 00:16:27 Just end this inner monologue
305 00:16:31 Seethe if you must
306 00:16:34 But just breathe
307 00:16:36 Okay. I just got off the phone with the state's attorney.
308 00:16:39 She thinks this is a civil rights issue.
309 00:16:41 This is a big deal, Emma.
310 00:16:43 So, what are you saying?
311 00:16:45 I'm just saying I'm really excited
312 00:16:46 to be a part of something like this.
313 00:16:48 We'll see how the PTA meeting goes.
314 00:16:50 Well, it's not gonna be fun. We'll get through it.
315 00:16:53 Just take a sec. Relax.
316 00:17:00 Just breathe, Emma
317 00:17:03 Remember that thing called oxygen
318 00:17:06 Just breathe, Emma
319 00:17:09 Look at the crazy state you're in
320 00:17:11 Just smile and nod although they're jerks
321 00:17:14 Say "namaste" and pray it works
322 00:17:18 And like we've discussed
323 00:17:22 Just...
324 00:17:25 Breathe
325 00:17:37 When wilt thou save the people?
326 00:17:41 - Blue one. Blue. - This stop motion sickness?
327 00:17:43 Mmm-hmm, and everything else.
328 00:17:45 The people...
329 00:17:46 - Okay. Enough! Enough! - Thank you.
330 00:17:48 Stop singing, stop! You're making me hate God.
331 00:17:51 - You're scaring them. - They're scaring me.
332 00:17:53 How about we do some trust exercises?
333 00:17:56 Yeah? Good.
334 00:17:57 Hotel is booked. Breakfast isn't included,
335 00:18:00 but there is a Waffle Shed next door.
336 00:18:03 Sounds delicious.
337 00:18:04 We're doing a great thing here. We're being great people.
338 00:18:09 This is all great.
339 00:18:12 This is gonna get me my third Tony Award.
340 00:18:15 - Oh, my God. - What?
341 00:18:18 Oh, come on, you know how political the Tonys are.
342 00:18:22 They don't vote for you. They vote for your brand.
343 00:18:25 My brand is a little tarnished at the moment.
344 00:18:28 'Cause of the infamous tirade
345 00:18:29 at the Longacre Theatre?
346 00:18:30 When a cell phone goes off in the middle of a performance...
347 00:18:34 - I can't be held responsible. - It was your cell phone!
348 00:18:36 - I didn't know that! - It was in your wig!
349 00:18:39 I didn't know that at the time. Anyway...
350 00:18:42 All the goodwill that we're gonna get from this thing
351 00:18:45 will wash me clean,
352 00:18:47 and I will win, no matter what my next project is.
353 00:18:51 You're just greedy. I'd be happy with one Tony.
354 00:18:54 I thought I had a shot with FDR.
355 00:18:57 I need a win.
356 00:18:59 I'm so sick of all the rejection. I'm no Dee Dee Allen.
357 00:19:03 - A lot of bile. - Well, I'm angry at life.
358 00:19:05 No, I mean Trent. He's retching again.
359 00:19:08 You were saying something about your...
360 00:19:12 I got into this business, yes, because I loved it,
361 00:19:14 but also to prove to everyone who doubted me,
362 00:19:18 my... teachers,
363 00:19:20 the kids on the school bus, my horrible parents,
364 00:19:23 that I could do something. Something important.
365 00:19:27 That's exactly what we are doing.
366 00:19:30 Something important.
367 00:19:33 I just hope we don't screw it up.
368 00:19:37 Hit it.
369 00:19:39 - Day by day - Day by day
370 00:19:44 Day by day
371 00:19:48 - Three things I pray - Three things I pray
372 00:19:52 I'm sorry, you're telling us that the state's attorney
373 00:19:55 is forcing us to have a prom?
374 00:19:58 No, the state's attorney wants us
375 00:20:00 to hold an inclusive prom. Yes.
376 00:20:02 Because that's what they feel best reflects America's values.
377 00:20:07 Well, this isn't America. This is Indiana.
378 00:20:11 All right.
379 00:20:16 Just to be clear, this is America
380 00:20:19 and everyone gets to have an opinion...
381 00:20:21 Just like you.
382 00:20:27 My son will not be forced to go to a homosexual prom.
383 00:20:31 Thank you, Beverly! Thank you!
384 00:20:33 Again, it is not a homosexual prom. It is an inclusive prom...
385 00:20:37 - With homosexuals. - You don't have to attend...
386 00:20:40 You don't have to attend if you don't want to.
387 00:20:43 Look... I... I'm sorry you're upset,
388 00:20:47 but the organization of the prom is
389 00:20:48 within the purview of the student council.
390 00:20:51 Let's hear what they have to say. Alyssa?
391 00:20:55 Okay.
392 00:20:58 Well, we want prom to go on, obviously.
393 00:21:04 It's supposed to be a celebration of all students...
394 00:21:07 Okay. No, thank you. It's fine, everyone.
395 00:21:09 Sweetheart, I'm so sorry, but this is not a student matter.
396 00:21:14 This is about government... tearing our community apart.
397 00:21:19 It's about big government taking away our freedom of choice.
398 00:21:24 Okay. Okay.
399 00:21:26 This is not about government intervention.
400 00:21:29 Emma, what is this about?
401 00:21:32 I just want to go to prom like any other kid.
402 00:21:35 But you can't.
403 00:21:37 She can't, and that's why the courts are involved.
404 00:21:40 Ask yourself.
405 00:21:42 What exactly is it that you find so frightening about gay people?
406 00:21:46 Hold it! Stop! Stop!
407 00:21:49 Hold it!
408 00:21:50 What you are doing here is wrong.
409 00:21:54 I'm sorry. Who are you?
410 00:21:56 Where is our girl? Where's Emma? Emma!
411 00:21:59 I'm Emma.
412 00:22:01 Emma, my name is Barry,
413 00:22:03 and I'm here to tell you that you are not alone.
414 00:22:06 Okay? I am as gay as a bucket of wigs.
415 00:22:09 A bucket of them!
416 00:22:11 And we are here from New York City and we are gonna save you.
417 00:22:14 Tomorrow, we will hold a rally.
418 00:22:16 - There'll be banners and choreography. - Excuse me.
419 00:22:19 - Excuse me! - Shame! Shame!
420 00:22:22 Excuse me!
421 00:22:27 What is going on? Who are you people?
422 00:22:30 We are liberals from Broadway.
423 00:22:33 Oh, shut up!
424 00:22:34 We are here to open your hearts and your minds.
425 00:22:38 The five of us are gonna teach you...
426 00:22:42 - Where's Dee Dee? - You'll see.
427 00:22:44 All right.
428 00:22:50 Oh, my God. That's Dee Dee Allen.
429 00:22:53 I want to tell the people of...
430 00:22:58 Whatever this town's called
431 00:23:01 I know what's going on here
432 00:23:04 And frankly, I'm appalled
433 00:23:08 I read three quarters of a news story and knew I had to come
434 00:23:13 And unless I am doing The Miracle Worker
435 00:23:21 I...
436 00:23:25 Won't play blind
437 00:23:28 Deaf and dumb
438 00:23:35 Listen, you bigoted monsters
439 00:23:37 Just who do you think you are?
440 00:23:40 Your prejudice and your oppression
441 00:23:42 Won't get past this Broadway star
442 00:23:45 Stealing the rights of a girl who is an LGBQ teen
443 00:23:51 I've been far too angry to Google what those letters mean
444 00:23:56 But it's not about me, It's about poor...
445 00:24:02 - Emma! - Emma, for can't you see
446 00:24:06 The raw deal she's been dealt?
447 00:24:09 So hear my plea
448 00:24:12 Or here's your next dilemma
449 00:24:15 How do you silence a woman who's known for her belt?
450 00:24:19 Sing it, Eleanor!
451 00:24:20 Her belt!
452 00:24:24 But it's not about me
453 00:24:26 Get them out of here now!
454 00:24:28 Go on and threaten to riot
455 00:24:30 It won't faze me in the least
456 00:24:33 I understand furious townsfolk
457 00:24:35 I did Beauty and the Beast
458 00:24:39 I'm no stranger to slander
459 00:24:41 So, my dear, you're not alone
460 00:24:44 The Post once said I was too old to play Eva Perón
461 00:24:49 No.
462 00:24:50 Eva Perón!
463 00:24:53 But it is not about me
464 00:24:56 It's Emma's story, damn it!
465 00:24:59 Equality
466 00:25:02 Should be this country's norm
467 00:25:05 No photography
468 00:25:08 Unless you Instagram it
469 00:25:11 Use hashtag Dee Dee Takes Local Yokels by Storm
470 00:25:16 But it's not about me
471 00:25:18 That's cute.
472 00:25:19 I didn't come here to make a scene
473 00:25:21 But I know how Emma's heart aches
474 00:25:25 And this is how actors intervene
475 00:25:27 With fiery songs and dance breaks
476 00:25:50 But it's not about me
477 00:25:53 Although I'm rich and famous
478 00:25:56 Publicity is not my final goal
479 00:26:01 Call security!
480 00:26:02 You needn't be some backwoods ignoramus
481 00:26:08 Join me and we'll start fighting
482 00:26:10 Could I get softer lighting?
483 00:26:12 Wait, this is...
484 00:26:14 - Not... - Not...
485 00:26:20 - About me! - This is not about...
486 00:26:22 What is happening?
487 00:26:23 This is not about...
488 00:26:24 What is happening?
489 00:26:26 This is not about...
490 00:26:29 It is all about, uh, Emma
491 00:26:31 And not about...
492 00:26:34 Me!
493 00:26:42 Who was responsible for that? Was it you?
494 00:26:45 Me? No, I have no idea what just happened in there.
495 00:26:48 Strangers burst in hurling insults
496 00:26:50 at the parents, and you do nothing.
497 00:26:52 What kind of school are you running here, Mr. Hawkins?
498 00:27:01 Excuse me, Miss Allen. I'm Tom. Tom Hawkins.
499 00:27:04 I am the principal and I just, um... What are you doing?
500 00:27:08 We have come to show this community
501 00:27:10 that gay people and gay-positive icons, such as myself,
502 00:27:15 are made of the same flesh and blood as they are.
503 00:27:17 If they don't have gay people here,
504 00:27:19 why is my Scruff going crazy right now?
505 00:27:21 We're not monsters.
506 00:27:24 We're cultural disruptors.
507 00:27:27 I'm a fan.
508 00:27:31 - Really? - Yeah. Yes, I am.
509 00:27:37 What kind of a fan? Big fan? Small fan? Scary stabby fan?
510 00:27:41 You could say that I'm a big fan. Yes.
511 00:27:44 Really? That's so surprising
512 00:27:46 because you're not my usual demographic.
513 00:27:49 - You mean Black? - No, straight.
514 00:27:52 You are straight, right?
515 00:27:54 Yes. I am. Straight people like Broadway too.
516 00:27:58 I've heard that. Always thought it was a fairy tale.
517 00:28:02 - So to speak. So to speak. - Well, it's true.
518 00:28:05 Um, I've been a fan since I saw you
519 00:28:07 in the show for which you won your first Tony.
520 00:28:09 - No! You saw Swallow the Moon? - I did.
521 00:28:13 The number at the top of the second act,
522 00:28:14 "The Lady's Improving"? Chills.
523 00:28:18 That song made me a star.
524 00:28:20 It made me a fan.
525 00:28:21 - Dee Dee, we gotta make haste. - Okay.
526 00:28:24 Uh, Miss Allen, I just... This is a very delicate situation.
527 00:28:27 I'm asking you and your friends to back off for a few days.
528 00:28:30 - Back off? - Yeah.
529 00:28:33 Backing off is exactly what we're not going to do.
530 00:28:35 I see what's happening here.
531 00:28:36 You're trying to disarm me with flattery.
532 00:28:39 It's not going to work, Tom. Flattery makes me stronger.
533 00:28:43 Fuels my ego.
534 00:29:03 - That was insane. - I know.
535 00:29:06 - I'm really freaking out. - Don't freak out.
536 00:29:09 We have a plan, remember?
537 00:29:11 We're gonna get dressed up and go to prom
538 00:29:13 and be together in public, not hide anymore.
539 00:29:17 Are you sure about this?
540 00:29:20 There's only one thing I'm sure about.
541 00:29:23 I don't want to start a riot
542 00:29:26 I don't want to blaze a trail
543 00:29:29 I don't want to be a symbol
544 00:29:32 Or a cautionary tale
545 00:29:35 I don't want to be a scapegoat
546 00:29:39 For people to oppose
547 00:29:42 What I want is simple
548 00:29:45 As far as wanting goes
549 00:29:50 I just want to dance with you
550 00:29:55 Let the whole world melt away
551 00:29:58 And dance with you
552 00:30:01 Who cares what other people say?
553 00:30:04 And when we're through
554 00:30:07 No one can convince us
555 00:30:10 We were wrong
556 00:30:13 All it takes is you and me
557 00:30:18 And a song
558 00:30:25 I don't need a big production
559 00:30:28 Streamers hanging in the air
560 00:30:31 I don't need to spend the night with
561 00:30:34 Confetti in my hair
562 00:30:37 I don't need a room of people
563 00:30:40 That I don't really know
564 00:30:43 I just want to hold you
565 00:30:46 And never let you go!
566 00:30:51 I just want to dance with you
567 00:30:55 Let the whole world melt away
568 00:30:58 And dance with you
569 00:31:01 Who cares what other people say?
570 00:31:04 And when we're through...
571 00:31:07 No one can convince us
572 00:31:10 We were wrong
573 00:31:13 All it takes is you and me
574 00:31:17 And a song
575 00:31:23 It's my mom. I gotta go.
576 00:31:26 Okay.
577 00:31:28 Bye...
578 00:31:32 All it takes is you and me
579 00:31:37 And...
580 00:31:40 A song
581 00:31:54 Oh, God.
582 00:31:58 It's worse than the bus.
583 00:32:01 At least it's quieter. Huh?
584 00:32:04 I need a drink.
585 00:32:07 Hello?
586 00:32:11 Dickinson, four rooms. I called yesterday.
587 00:32:13 Four rooms of varying size
588 00:32:15 to reflect the hierarchy of the company, right?
589 00:32:19 Where is my suite?
590 00:32:21 We don't have a suite.
591 00:32:28 Now do you have a suite?
592 00:32:31 No, we don't have any suites. All the rooms are the same.
593 00:32:36 Surely you know who I am.
594 00:32:38 At the very least, I would like a room next to the spa.
595 00:32:41 Uh, there's no spa.
596 00:32:43 Angie, what is this place?
597 00:32:45 We're all gonna get stabbed and stuffed.
598 00:32:47 - You know that, right? - Orbitz gave it three stars!
599 00:32:51 Do you have any cabins?
600 00:32:54 No, we don't have any cabins.
601 00:33:05 - How about now? - What is that?
602 00:33:07 It's a Drama Desk. You know what it is.
603 00:33:10 I vomited in the bus again.
604 00:33:13 Can I see the hotel doctor, please?
605 00:33:15 Oh, my God, it's you.
606 00:33:17 I can't believe it. It's actually you.
607 00:33:19 You're the guy from Talk to the Hand.
608 00:33:21 It's on every night at 9:00 after...
609 00:33:23 Can I have my room, please?
610 00:33:24 Okay, let's get started. All right?
611 00:33:26 Let's change some minds.
612 00:33:28 - Thank you. - You're welcome.
613 00:33:30 A wishing well!
614 00:33:32 Make a wish, Dee Dee.
615 00:33:34 Death. I wish for death.
616 00:33:36 Okay, Sheldon's working on a venue. Now, how's the song?
617 00:33:40 Uh, about that. I was misled by my representation.
618 00:33:45 Mr. Sondheim is not a fan of my Sweeney Todd.
619 00:33:48 - Quite the opposite, actually. - Oh, my God...
620 00:33:51 Jesus, Trent, you screwed us.
621 00:33:54 Don't worry. I wrote something myself. Yeah.
622 00:34:01 It's quite rousing,
623 00:34:03 and in a very humane key.
624 00:34:06 The Godspell kids will back us up,
625 00:34:08 and they have their own costumes.
626 00:34:10 You're welcome.
627 00:34:13 - Oh, my God. - Yeah!
628 00:34:16 This is awful.
629 00:34:18 We can't perform this. They'll boo us off the stage.
630 00:34:20 No, all we need is a simple message that tugs at the heartstrings
631 00:34:24 and a little pageantry.
632 00:34:25 - We have everything we need right here. - Except a venue.
633 00:34:28 O ye of little faith.
634 00:34:32 I got one! And a crowd of 2,500 guaranteed.
635 00:34:36 - What? - That's amazing!
636 00:34:38 What is it? One of those beautiful Antebellum theaters?
637 00:34:40 No, it's, uh...
638 00:34:43 An arena.
639 00:34:46 An arena?
640 00:35:03 So it's come to this.
641 00:35:16 Ladies and gentlemen,
642 00:35:18 Truckosaurus, the car-eating robot dinosaur,
643 00:35:22 will not be your half-time entertainment today.
644 00:35:25 Instead, we have some guests who've come from New York
645 00:35:28 to sing us a song about intolerance.
646 00:35:31 Hi there.
647 00:35:32 I'm Trent Oliver,
648 00:35:34 actor, activist...
649 00:35:37 and Juilliard graduate.
650 00:35:39 Emma, this one's for you.
651 00:35:47 Flowers accept the rain and grow more beautiful
652 00:35:54 Babies accept their mother's breast
653 00:35:57 So they can grow strong
654 00:36:00 I accept that I was born a handsome man
655 00:36:06 So join with me and sing this acceptance song
656 00:36:12 Let us accept one another
657 00:36:16 I know it's truly hard
658 00:36:19 We're sister and brother
659 00:36:22 Here's what I learned at Juilliard
660 00:36:25 Bigotry's not big of me
661 00:36:28 And it's not big of you
662 00:36:32 Let's all work together
663 00:36:35 To make rainbow dreams come true
664 00:36:39 Ladies and gentlemen,
665 00:36:40 two-time Tony Award winner, Miss Dee Dee Allen.
666 00:36:43 - Trent, I could rip your face off. - I'm sorry.
667 00:36:46 You made me fail. I am so sick of failing.
668 00:36:50 What do we do now?
669 00:36:51 We leave.
670 00:36:53 First we kill Trent, then we leave.
671 00:36:55 What about the girl?
672 00:36:57 Hello, everyone...
673 00:36:59 we have some news.
674 00:37:01 Emma and I wanted to be the ones to tell you,
675 00:37:03 thanks to pressure from the state's attorney's office,
676 00:37:06 prom is back on!
677 00:37:08 - What? - Prom is back on!
678 00:37:10 We did it!
679 00:37:12 See? We're not narcissists.
680 00:37:15 Just to be clear, uh, it's not because of you...
681 00:37:18 Or maybe it was.
682 00:37:19 I mean, everybody started freaking out when you got here.
683 00:37:22 The lawyer might've had legal power,
684 00:37:24 but you really scared people.
685 00:37:27 We scared people!
686 00:37:28 Important thing is, it's a victory.
687 00:37:30 Now you get to go to prom like everybody else!
688 00:37:32 - Yes! - What are you gonna wear?
689 00:37:34 I was thinking like a vintage tux and some high tops.
690 00:37:38 I don't know. Does it matter?
691 00:37:41 Does it...
692 00:37:46 - Honey... - Sweetheart, boo-boo.
693 00:37:49 I don't know you, okay? And you don't know me,
694 00:37:51 but I am begging you, let me dress you for the prom.
695 00:37:56 - Okay? Yeah? - Okay.
696 00:37:57 We're going to Saks.
697 00:37:59 Uh, there's no Saks here.
698 00:38:00 We have a Kmart!
699 00:38:02 - A what? - A Kmart.
700 00:38:07 Fine.
701 00:38:09 We'll check out the Reba McEntire collection at Kmart,
702 00:38:12 do a little fashion show.
703 00:38:13 Okay! Oh, can we do it tomorrow?
704 00:38:15 We can meet at my place.
705 00:38:16 I have to go and find out if I still have a date.
706 00:38:19 Sure. I'll go ahead, do a pre-shop.
707 00:38:21 Okay? Will you give me a ride in your pickup truck?
708 00:38:23 Are you saying that because I'm a lesbian, I drive a pickup?
709 00:38:26 - Well, do you? - Shut up.
710 00:38:28 - Anybody hungry? - I could drink.
711 00:38:31 What's around here?
712 00:38:32 I saw a Big Boy by the highway.
713 00:38:34 - Ooh, they have a gay bar here? - I love Big Boy.
714 00:38:36 Oh, gay bar. Can't go. I'd be mobbed.
715 00:38:41 Of course.
716 00:38:46 - So, it's nice to see Emma smile again. - Yes.
717 00:38:49 She's had a rough go of it.
718 00:38:51 I gathered that. Yeah.
719 00:38:53 - Even before the prom controversy. - Oh?
720 00:38:56 When she came out, her parents,
721 00:38:58 well, they threw her out of the house.
722 00:39:01 Really?
723 00:39:02 Yeah. Yeah. She was 16.
724 00:39:05 It was, uh, pretty ugly.
725 00:39:10 Anyway, um...
726 00:39:13 thank you for helping her...
727 00:39:15 or trying to.
728 00:39:23 - Uh, Tom? - Yes, yeah?
729 00:39:26 Is there a restaurant in town that has plates and cutlery and...
730 00:39:31 There's an Applebee's by the mall.
731 00:39:37 - Would you like to go? - Yes.
732 00:39:39 Take me now to this Apples & Bees place.
733 00:39:43 All right.
734 00:39:43 - Thank you. - You're welcome.
735 00:39:45 How nice of you.
736 00:39:49 - Guess what today is? - What?
737 00:39:52 Promposal day!
738 00:39:53 Hey, Kaylee!
739 00:40:00 Since JV football, I've been adored
740 00:40:04 Big man on campus but oh-so-bored
741 00:40:08 My life was perfect
742 00:40:10 But so routine
743 00:40:11 I prayed for someone to intervene
744 00:40:16 Then something new happened
745 00:40:20 And turned my life around entirely
746 00:40:23 And that's 'cause you happened
747 00:40:28 And look what happened to me
748 00:40:31 So go to prom with me, Kaylee!
749 00:40:34 You're such an idiot. Yes!
750 00:40:37 Hey, Shelby, you're next.
751 00:40:41 There's not one subject that I could pass
752 00:40:45 Before you walked into my Spanish class
753 00:40:48 Was my heart pounding?
754 00:40:50 I won't say no
755 00:40:52 'Cause life without you was no bueno
756 00:40:57 Then something new happened
757 00:41:01 And turned my life around entirely
758 00:41:04 And that's 'cause you happened
759 00:41:08 And look what happened to me
760 00:41:12 So go to prom with me, Shelby!
761 00:41:14 Sí! Sí, señor!
762 00:41:22 You did it. No, you actually did it.
763 00:41:25 We have a prom because of you.
764 00:41:27 It's like a love bomb went off.
765 00:41:28 I've seen six promposals today.
766 00:41:31 People are gonna see us dancing together and kissing.
767 00:41:35 It's gonna be impossible not to kiss you.
768 00:41:37 Oh, my God, and you know, what's my mom going to think?
769 00:41:41 I mean, she'll be in public, so she can't totally freak out.
770 00:41:44 It doesn't matter what she does.
771 00:41:47 This is about us.
772 00:41:49 This is about us finally being us.
773 00:41:52 And no more hiding how we feel anymore
774 00:41:57 I won't hide if you're by my side
775 00:42:00 Now that the prom is back on track
776 00:42:07 And once we walk into that gym hand-in-hand
777 00:42:15 It's pretty obvious there's no going back
778 00:42:20 And that's a promise
779 00:42:29 I save all of my money. I go to New York every summer.
780 00:42:32 I see as many Broadway shows as I can.
781 00:42:35 When I run out of money, I second act them.
782 00:42:37 Don't tell anybody.
783 00:42:38 Bad!
784 00:42:41 My point is, I've seen you many, many times.
785 00:42:46 Mr. Hawkins.
786 00:42:49 Mrs. Greene.
787 00:42:50 Hello. I'm Dee Dee Allen.
788 00:42:52 - We haven't officially met. - No.
789 00:42:54 - Hello. Dee Dee Allen. - We're aware.
790 00:42:57 Ms. Allen,
791 00:42:59 I'm sure that you are very well-versed in the ways of the world
792 00:43:03 and Broadway in particular. That's a community.
793 00:43:07 But you don't know us.
794 00:43:08 You don't know this town and our values.
795 00:43:12 No, well, I'm just here advocating on behalf of a young girl
796 00:43:15 whose voice perhaps is not heard
797 00:43:17 by some in the community.
798 00:43:21 Yes. Well, perhaps you should stick to acting
799 00:43:24 instead of activism.
800 00:43:28 Enjoy your meal.
801 00:43:34 We didn't mean to make anything worse here.
802 00:43:37 It's fine. I appreciate everything that you're doing.
803 00:43:40 Well, let's just drop it.
804 00:43:43 Tell me...
805 00:43:46 I've never said this before to anyone.
806 00:43:49 Tell me about you.
807 00:43:52 - About me? - Yeah.
808 00:43:56 I don't know. I'm just a small-town principal.
809 00:43:59 Uh, you know, it can be frustrating,
810 00:44:02 but, uh, at least I have a job.
811 00:44:04 Yeah, lucky you.
812 00:44:06 Single.
813 00:44:08 Sorry?
814 00:44:10 I'm single. Just putting that out there.
815 00:44:13 Really?
816 00:44:16 I'm surprised.
817 00:44:19 Oh, well, I'm surprised you're surprised.
818 00:44:22 The two things I'm most passionate about in the world are
819 00:44:23 Broadway musicals and secondary school administration.
820 00:44:27 I typed that into a dating website once,
821 00:44:30 and a little message popped up that said,
822 00:44:32 "you will have zero matches forever."
823 00:44:37 But you're so smart and you're really good-looking.
824 00:44:41 Well, if I...
825 00:44:43 Thank you.
826 00:44:45 It's just, I look at people like you,
827 00:44:48 and I just think how lucky you are to be surrounded by your people.
828 00:44:52 My wh... My people?
829 00:44:54 I wasn't born on Broadway. You know?
830 00:44:58 I'm from Zelienople, Pennsylvania.
831 00:45:01 Yeah, I grew up dirt poor.
832 00:45:05 This whole...
833 00:45:09 All this, I invented it.
834 00:45:12 Yeah. I'm just a small-town girl and...
835 00:45:17 I had a big dream.
836 00:45:22 Single, just putting it out there.
837 00:45:28 Well, I'm divorced.
838 00:45:30 Oh, I think I read about that.
839 00:45:31 Eddie Sharpe, the talk show host?
840 00:45:33 Yeah, right.
841 00:45:35 It lasted 15 heart-pulverizing years.
842 00:45:42 I imagine it must be hard being Dee Dee Allen,
843 00:45:44 being a Broadway star.
844 00:45:46 You know, it is hard.
845 00:45:50 Sometimes I think I really... I just want to quit.
846 00:45:53 No. No, please, you can't... You can't do that.
847 00:45:57 Why not?
848 00:45:59 Because I need you to do what you do.
849 00:46:04 My days have little glamour
850 00:46:06 Writing memos, making calls
851 00:46:09 And wincing at the grammar written on the bathroom walls
852 00:46:13 It's all school supplies and budget size
853 00:46:16 And wading through red tape
854 00:46:20 That's why I love the theater
855 00:46:24 It's how I escape
856 00:46:30 So, theater's a distraction.
857 00:46:32 Is that what you mean?
858 00:46:33 A distraction is momentary.
859 00:46:35 An escape helps you heal.
860 00:46:37 We look to you
861 00:46:40 To take us away
862 00:46:43 From the soul-crushing jobs
863 00:46:45 And emasculating pay
864 00:46:48 When our lives come up short
865 00:46:50 And our hopes are sad and few
866 00:46:53 You whisk us off to some place strange and new
867 00:47:01 We look to you
868 00:47:03 In good times and bad
869 00:47:06 The worlds you create make the real one seem less sad
870 00:47:11 The curtain goes up
871 00:47:14 And every now and then
872 00:47:17 It feels as if we're coming home again
873 00:47:22 Yes, coming home again
874 00:47:29 We need a place to run to
875 00:47:32 When everything goes wrong
876 00:47:34 Where the answer to each problem is to burst into a song
877 00:47:39 And standard rules of logic
878 00:47:41 Just simply don't apply
879 00:47:44 When people dance in unison
880 00:47:47 And no one wonders why
881 00:47:55 You make it sound so beautiful.
882 00:47:58 We look to you
883 00:48:01 As strange as it seems
884 00:48:04 When reality goes
885 00:48:06 To scary new extremes
886 00:48:09 So don't ever give up
887 00:48:12 And this I guarantee
888 00:48:17 Next time you think no one cares
889 00:48:22 You can look
890 00:48:28 To me
891 00:48:49 - That's a nice picture. - Oh, it's terrible.
892 00:48:53 Look at the backdrop. Clouds? What, are we flying?
893 00:48:57 It's sweet.
894 00:48:59 Well...
895 00:49:01 You know, she needed proof she was still part of the family,
896 00:49:04 and nothing says family like a Sears family portrait.
897 00:49:08 - Is there booze in this? - There sure is.
898 00:49:11 - When you said lemonade... - Well, it's Indiana lemonade.
899 00:49:14 Okay, it's official. I love you.
900 00:49:16 You're the cool grandmother I never had.
901 00:49:19 Hey, let me ask you something. What happened with Emma?
902 00:49:25 You're not a mother, so you can't know what it's like
903 00:49:28 to see your own daughter give up her child.
904 00:49:31 I'm sorry.
905 00:49:32 When Emma came out, oh, they could not handle it.
906 00:49:39 To bad parents and their broken progeny.
907 00:49:43 Although Emma is fine. She's a strong kid.
908 00:49:47 Oh, I wasn't talking about her.
909 00:49:50 What? You got kicked out too?
910 00:49:53 Well, I left before they could do that.
911 00:49:59 So the only nice dress I have is this.
912 00:50:04 Okay, I mean, yeah, yep, you could wear that to prom
913 00:50:08 or keep it lying around
914 00:50:10 in case there's a remake of Little House on the Prairie.
915 00:50:12 Okay. That's it. I like him.
916 00:50:15 Emma, please let me dress you for this prom.
917 00:50:17 I don't know. This is all so crazy.
918 00:50:21 What did you wear to your prom?
919 00:50:23 Well, I was going to wear a silver tux,
920 00:50:26 aqua accessories, the whole look.
921 00:50:29 I waited outside, anxious to see my crush,
922 00:50:32 but when I saw him with his date, I froze.
923 00:50:36 I couldn't go in.
924 00:50:38 I didn't have your courage.
925 00:50:41 This isn't about me.
926 00:50:43 This is about you.
927 00:50:45 And I promise you are going to have the night of your life.
928 00:50:49 What is your date wearing?
929 00:50:51 I don't know.
930 00:50:54 I've never been to her house before.
931 00:50:57 Her mom doesn't know about us.
932 00:50:59 How long have you been together?
933 00:51:02 - A year and a half. - Oh, honey.
934 00:51:03 But she's coming out tonight, big time. That's the plan.
935 00:51:09 I'm really scared.
936 00:51:11 Would you get over here?
937 00:51:14 The point is you are brave.
938 00:51:17 You made all this happen.
939 00:51:20 When you walk into that gym tonight,
940 00:51:21 you know what people are gonna see?
941 00:51:23 They're going to see the bravest person on the planet.
942 00:51:26 This is so hard. Does every girl go through this?
943 00:51:29 Yes, all across town,
944 00:51:31 girls are spraying on their tans and whitening their teeth,
945 00:51:35 trying to look their best for the prom,
946 00:51:37 but they're wasting their time
947 00:51:39 because they don't have the glow that you have right now.
948 00:51:43 I trust you completely, and that's kind of scary too.
949 00:51:47 Can we please go shop? Can we mall it?
950 00:51:51 - Is that okay? - Yes, mall the hell out of it!
951 00:51:54 - Let's go. - Okay!
952 00:51:55 But get changed. This is disgusting.
953 00:52:02 I can tell you're feeling wary
954 00:52:05 But you can count on Uncle Barry
955 00:52:08 He can turn this butchy duck Into a swan
956 00:52:14 Your whole look could use a shake-up
957 00:52:17 You can borrow all my makeup
958 00:52:21 And the pair of Spanx I currently have on
959 00:52:25 I think I'll pass.
960 00:52:26 Treat the whole world like your runway
961 00:52:29 Make it fierce, but in a fun way
962 00:52:32 Try to flip your hair like Cher and drag queens do
963 00:52:39 And I don't mean to be rude, dear
964 00:52:42 But you could use some attitude, dear
965 00:52:45 Let's show the school that tonight belongs to you
966 00:52:51 One thing's universal
967 00:52:54 Life's no dress rehearsal
968 00:52:57 So why not make some waves before it's through?
969 00:53:03 Go big or you've blown it
970 00:53:06 It's time that you own it
971 00:53:09 Let's make it clear that tonight belongs to you
972 00:53:13 It fits!
973 00:53:15 Now, whatever we choose, you've gotta remember to sell it.
974 00:53:18 How do I do that?
975 00:53:19 Allow Miss Glickman to demonstrate.
976 00:53:22 You might find this disconcerting
977 00:53:25 But ole Barry's done some flirting
978 00:53:28 Try to bat your eyes smize each time you grin
979 00:53:34 I can guess your whole agenda
980 00:53:37 You be Elphie, I'm Glinda
981 00:53:40 It's makeover time so why not just give in?
982 00:53:46 Come on!
983 00:53:47 One thing's universal
984 00:53:50 Life's no dress rehearsal
985 00:53:52 So why not make some waves before it's through?
986 00:53:58 Go big or you've blown it
987 00:54:01 It's time that I own it!
988 00:54:04 Yes, ma'am!
989 00:54:05 Let's make it clear that tonight belongs to you
990 00:54:09 What?
991 00:54:10 Belongs to me!
992 00:54:14 Oh, God, I can't believe this is finally happening.
993 00:54:16 I know. She almost ruined it for all of us.
994 00:54:19 Well, what goes around comes around.
995 00:54:21 - You look hot. - You look so hot.
996 00:54:25 Well, I hate to sound conceited
997 00:54:29 But the boys get overheated
998 00:54:32 When I strike a pose or two like thus
999 00:54:38 And you have to hand it to me
1000 00:54:41 I mean, even I would do me
1001 00:54:45 Let's show the world tonight belongs To us
1002 00:54:51 One thing's universal
1003 00:54:54 Life's no dress rehearsal
1004 00:54:57 Excuse me while I state the obvious
1005 00:55:03 Go big or you've blown it
1006 00:55:06 It's time that we own it
1007 00:55:10 And make it clear that tonight belongs to us
1008 00:55:16 Alyssa, you look so beautiful.
1009 00:55:19 You should always wear your hair like this.
1010 00:55:22 - Mom. - Yeah?
1011 00:55:23 I just want you to know what's gonna happen tonight.
1012 00:55:26 No. Can we not spoil this, please?
1013 00:55:28 I have worked so hard for tonight.
1014 00:55:30 I have a right to enjoy it too.
1015 00:55:33 You are going to have a wonderful prom like a normal girl.
1016 00:55:36 - I've made sure of that. - What is that supposed to mean?
1017 00:55:41 I don't like when strangers get in my way
1018 00:55:44 Or anyone who messes with the PTA
1019 00:55:47 Well, maybe that's just me
1020 00:55:50 But trust me, fixing little problems is what I do
1021 00:55:54 Now everyone is happy I promise you
1022 00:55:57 And I would never miss a night like this
1023 00:56:02 Alyssa
1024 00:56:03 You're my superstar
1025 00:56:06 Now get your ass in the car
1026 00:56:43 One thing's universal
1027 00:56:47 Life's no dress rehearsal
1028 00:56:50 Excuse me while I state the obvious
1029 00:56:57 Go big or you've blown it
1030 00:57:01 It's time that we own it
1031 00:57:05 And make it clear that tonight belongs to
1032 00:57:09 Make it clear that tonight belongs to
1033 00:57:13 Make it clear that tonight belongs...
1034 00:57:22 - Wait there. I'll get the door. Okay? - Okay.
1035 00:57:26 - Are you ready? - We're ready. We can't wait.
1036 00:57:29 - Here, hold this. I wanna get the picture. - Okay. Here we go.
1037 00:57:32 Oh, my God!
1038 00:57:35 Look at you!
1039 00:57:37 You look amazing!
1040 00:57:38 Are you sure it's not too girly?
1041 00:57:41 No, it's just the right amount of girly.
1042 00:57:45 - You did well. - Right?
1043 00:57:47 Hey, where's your date?
1044 00:57:48 We're meeting in the gym.
1045 00:57:50 She's still a little shy about all this.
1046 00:57:53 Well, this is where we leave you.
1047 00:57:56 Our work here is done.
1048 00:57:59 You go. You have the time of your life.
1049 00:58:01 Can you walk me in? I'm a little nervous.
1050 00:58:05 Of course. Hey, hold on tight.
1051 00:58:08 - Ready? - Yep.
1052 00:58:09 - Clutch in this hand. - Oh, sorry!
1053 00:58:12 Come on.
1054 00:58:13 - Who wants to hit the punch bowl? - Only if it's spiked.
1055 00:58:16 The walk away. The cute little truck.
1056 00:58:29 - We're doin' it! - Go ahead.
1057 00:58:39 What's going on?
1058 00:58:40 I'm putting the pieces together. Gimme a sec.
1059 00:58:42 - What is happening? - Where is everybody?
1060 00:58:45 Something is really wrong.
1061 00:58:47 The whole parking lot is completely empty.
1062 00:58:50 God. What's the theme of this prom? Death row?
1063 00:58:53 Mr. Hawkins, where are all the kids? I don't understand.
1064 00:58:56 Mom, what's happening? Why aren't we at the gym?
1065 00:58:58 At the last minute, there was a problem,
1066 00:59:00 so we had to change venues.
1067 00:59:02 No, Mom, what's going on?
1068 00:59:04 The courts told the PTA
1069 00:59:05 they had to hold an inclusive prom.
1070 00:59:07 Don't worry. It's fine. We did what we were required to do.
1071 00:59:11 There was some resistance.
1072 00:59:12 So the parents met without my knowledge,
1073 00:59:14 and they've organized two proms.
1074 00:59:18 One for the kids at the Elks Lodge in town.
1075 00:59:20 And this one just for you.
1076 00:59:22 - We gave her a prom. - You did what?
1077 00:59:25 Wait, no, no.
1078 00:59:27 I got texts from kids at school. Everybody said it was here.
1079 00:59:31 And they were lying to you. It was part of the plan.
1080 00:59:34 - You lied to me. - Oh, yeah? Who's the liar?
1081 00:59:36 We know about you and Emma,
1082 00:59:38 and trust me, we're doing you a favor.
1083 00:59:42 No.
1084 00:59:43 - Oh, my God. This is so cruel. - I'm gonna cry.
1085 00:59:47 Okay, honey. Look at me.
1086 00:59:50 - Angie. - Yeah.
1087 00:59:51 - I want to go home. - I know you do.
1088 00:59:54 - This isn't happening. - And you got us, and this is awful.
1089 00:59:57 - No, no. - Honey.
1090 01:00:03 One thing's universal
1091 01:00:07 Life's no dress rehearsal
1092 01:00:12 When people find a scapegoat to condemn
1093 01:00:20 We went big, yet we've blown it
1094 01:00:25 Well, I guess I should have known it
1095 01:00:30 All along tonight
1096 01:00:33 Belonged
1097 01:00:36 To them
1098 01:00:50 - Alyssa? - I swear I had no idea.
1099 01:00:52 How could you not know? You were on the prom committee.
1100 01:00:55 It was Shelby and Kaylee.
1101 01:00:57 They figured out we were together
1102 01:00:58 and they made sure I didn't find out.
1103 01:01:01 - They didn't want me to tell you. - Then come meet me.
1104 01:01:04 I can't.
1105 01:01:06 Look, my mother's here.
1106 01:01:07 Well, leave her. Tell her you're gay!
1107 01:01:11 Tell her we're in love. That was the plan, wasn't it?
1108 01:01:14 I'm really sorry.
1109 01:01:18 Have fun at the normal person's prom.
1110 01:01:20 Wait. Emma.
1111 01:01:23 Emma!
1112 01:01:27 Okay. Here's what we're gonna do.
1113 01:01:29 We are going to that prom, okay?
1114 01:01:32 They can't stop us. We will march into that room...
1115 01:01:34 No! No, enough.
1116 01:01:38 This is already the worst night of my life.
1117 01:01:40 Please, just stop helping me.
1118 01:01:48 Emma! Emma!
1119 01:01:52 This is a complete disaster.
1120 01:01:55 This is a PR problem.
1121 01:01:57 No, Sheldon. We had a PR problem back in New York.
1122 01:02:03 This was supposed to solve that.
1123 01:02:06 But this...
1124 01:02:08 This is heartbreaking.
1125 01:02:10 This is why you came here? For publicity?
1126 01:02:32 I have been asked to read a statement.
1127 01:02:35 "What happened here was not the result of some elaborate plan
1128 01:02:40 to humiliate this girl, as has been reported in the press."
1129 01:02:44 "The James Madison High School Parent-Teacher Association
1130 01:02:48 felt Emma would not be safe
1131 01:02:51 if we allowed her to attend prom with the other students
1132 01:02:54 because the uncomfortable truth
1133 01:02:57 is there are people in our community
1134 01:03:00 who are offended by her life choices."
1135 01:03:04 I can't even wrap my head around this.
1136 01:03:05 It's a nightmare. Oh, my God!
1137 01:03:09 I wanna be the cockeyed optimist here
1138 01:03:11 'cause I played Nellie Forbush in South Pacific.
1139 01:03:14 It was a dinner theater production, but...
1140 01:03:19 This is horrible. It really is.
1141 01:03:21 Thanks for hanging out with me these past couple of days.
1142 01:03:25 You've been a good friend.
1143 01:03:27 - I have? - You have. You seem surprised.
1144 01:03:31 No, I just...
1145 01:03:34 I'm a chorus girl. You know, I just...
1146 01:03:39 No one ever thanks me. They don't even see me.
1147 01:03:45 Spend my whole life trying to stay in the game, and
1148 01:03:49 keep my day-drinking under control.
1149 01:03:53 That's really nice. Thanks, kid.
1150 01:03:59 You're going to get through this. I know it.
1151 01:04:04 I thought that when my parents rejected me and stopped loving me
1152 01:04:08 that I would never feel any worse, you know?
1153 01:04:12 And now this...
1154 01:04:15 And I feel worse.
1155 01:04:16 - Honey... - I've never felt so alone in my life.
1156 01:04:20 But you're not alone. You're not.
1157 01:04:23 You got me. Hmm?
1158 01:04:25 And we are ride-or-die, and you do have friends.
1159 01:04:30 Where are they?
1160 01:04:38 - This is it. - Yes.
1161 01:04:39 - No. - Well, okay.
1162 01:04:48 - Emma, can we come in? - Yes.
1163 01:04:50 - We brought Häagen-Dazs. - That's fancy ice cream.
1164 01:04:52 I know what Häagen-Dazs is. Hand it over.
1165 01:04:56 Emma, I know you said you didn't want us to help anymore,
1166 01:04:58 but we cannot let them get away with this.
1167 01:05:00 We have got to fight back.
1168 01:05:02 Okay, I know everybody's really angry.
1169 01:05:05 But I think we have to admit that we have made things worse.
1170 01:05:09 I think the best thing we can do
1171 01:05:11 is disinfect our things and go back home.
1172 01:05:14 - No, we are not leaving. - No!
1173 01:05:15 Dee Dee, we are gonna stay here,
1174 01:05:17 and we're going to turn this thing around.
1175 01:05:19 - We gotta take back the press. - Yes, how?
1176 01:05:22 Emma, you've got to step up and be the face of this thing.
1177 01:05:26 And that's going to get her a prom?
1178 01:05:27 This is not about a prom anymore. This is about right and wrong.
1179 01:05:31 We need a national audience, prime time.
1180 01:05:34 You want a big audience fast? We gotta use our ace in the hole.
1181 01:05:38 - One call to Eddie Sharpe is all we need. - No. No.
1182 01:05:41 - Dee Dee! - He's right.
1183 01:05:42 If I ask him for something, he will want something in return,
1184 01:05:45 and what he will want is the Hamptons house.
1185 01:05:47 He's been trying to get it for years.
1186 01:05:49 Okay. Okay, fine. Look, Sheldon, you got to get that girl on TV.
1187 01:05:54 - Okay. - Great.
1188 01:05:55 No, not great.
1189 01:05:57 I'm sorry, but there is no way I'm getting in front of a camera
1190 01:06:00 and telling my story to millions of people. I can't do that.
1191 01:06:03 - See? - Please. Please, just go.
1192 01:06:08 - Emma, if you do nothing... - Barry. Go.
1193 01:06:13 - Okay, I get it. Okay. Okay. - Go. Go, go, go. Go, go.
1194 01:06:17 I got this. I know what I'm doing.
1195 01:06:21 Let me do my thing.
1196 01:06:24 There must be a way to rid this community,
1197 01:06:25 and by extension, the nation,
1198 01:06:26 of this cancer of intolerance.
1199 01:06:28 What are you even doing here? What happened to Godspell?
1200 01:06:30 Indianapolis was canceled,
1201 01:06:32 as was the naval base at Guantánamo Bay.
1202 01:06:34 What I'm thinking I'm going to do is this.
1203 01:06:36 Venture forth and seek out the young people and rap,
1204 01:06:39 in a non-musical sense.
1205 01:06:55 Let's go get some more, huh?
1206 01:06:57 Two spoons this time.
1207 01:07:00 Come on.
1208 01:07:04 Gotta stop.
1209 01:07:06 Before you lecture me or
1210 01:07:08 kick me to death with those crazy antelope legs of yours,
1211 01:07:11 or whatever you're gonna do, I know I should do something.
1212 01:07:17 I just can't.
1213 01:07:18 You gotta do this.
1214 01:07:20 You gotta do it for all of us people
1215 01:07:22 that are standing in the wings, waiting to go on.
1216 01:07:27 I'm too scared.
1217 01:07:31 Let me tell you a story.
1218 01:07:34 It's 1975
1219 01:07:36 and the original company of Chicago is in previews,
1220 01:07:40 and the worst flu in history hits the cast.
1221 01:07:43 They're down to the third cover for the role of Roxie Hart
1222 01:07:47 and she's scared, just like you are.
1223 01:07:50 And Fosse, who is a real ballbuster,
1224 01:07:54 is putting her through her paces
1225 01:07:57 and she's petrified.
1226 01:07:58 Worst of all, she's doing the routine like she's a robot.
1227 01:08:01 So the Foss, he says, "Hey, kid. Snap out of it."
1228 01:08:09 "You got the steps."
1229 01:08:12 "You've got the notes."
1230 01:08:15 "Where's the zazz, baby?"
1231 01:08:20 And even though she'd never heard that word before,
1232 01:08:23 she knew immediately what it meant.
1233 01:08:26 And she went out there and she found that spotlight,
1234 01:08:29 and she crushed that performance so hard,
1235 01:08:32 she had that whole audience
1236 01:08:34 standing on their feet screaming bloody murder!
1237 01:08:40 And that girl was you!
1238 01:08:43 What?
1239 01:08:44 How old do you think I am?
1240 01:08:47 It was 1975! No.
1241 01:08:51 The point is every Fosse girl knows that story.
1242 01:08:56 It's all about finding your light.
1243 01:09:02 When a challenge lies ahead
1244 01:09:04 And you are filled with dread and worry
1245 01:09:08 Give it some zazz
1246 01:09:10 If your courage disappears, what'll get your fears to scurry?
1247 01:09:16 Give it some zazz
1248 01:09:18 Zazz is style plus confidence
1249 01:09:22 It may seem corny or kitsch
1250 01:09:26 But when scared or on the fence
1251 01:09:29 You'll find that zazz will soon make fear become your bitch
1252 01:09:34 And if folks say you can't win, what'll stop them in a hurry?
1253 01:09:40 Give it some zazz
1254 01:09:42 There's no contest for a girl who has some razzmatazz
1255 01:09:50 So call their bluff and strut your stuff
1256 01:09:54 Like no chick in this hick town has
1257 01:09:58 Instead of giving up
1258 01:10:03 Oh, give it some zazz
1259 01:10:05 I just don't think I can do it.
1260 01:10:07 The thought of getting up in front of all of those people.
1261 01:10:10 Look at my hands, they're shaking.
1262 01:10:12 If your hands are shakin'
1263 01:10:15 Just turn 'em into jazz hands
1264 01:10:20 - Doesn't that feel better? - No.
1265 01:10:22 Try this.
1266 01:10:28 This is awkward.
1267 01:10:30 You don't understand the concept of zazz.
1268 01:10:33 The zazz is not the moves. The zazz comes from within.
1269 01:10:37 Do the moves and give it some zazz.
1270 01:10:42 Close your eyes.
1271 01:10:44 Think about Mrs. Greene.
1272 01:10:46 Think about that fake prom.
1273 01:10:50 Now think of finally doing something about it.
1274 01:10:55 Oh, I'm seeing it! I'm seeing your zazz!
1275 01:11:00 Now, follow me!
1276 01:11:02 Do like the brave and bossy do
1277 01:11:06 And if they tear you apart
1278 01:11:10 Ask what would Bob Fosse do?
1279 01:11:14 He'd make the people have a step-ball-change of heart
1280 01:11:18 Ball change!
1281 01:11:19 And if folks say you can't win, what'll stop them in a hurry?
1282 01:11:25 Give it some zazz
1283 01:11:27 There's no contest for a girl who has some razzmatazz
1284 01:11:34 So call their bluff, bam!
1285 01:11:36 And strut my stuff, bam!
1286 01:11:38 Like no chick In this hick town has
1287 01:11:42 Instead of giving up
1288 01:11:48 Give it some zazz
1289 01:11:51 Now that you found your zazz, it's time to show it to the world.
1290 01:11:55 - You think you know how? - Yeah!
1291 01:12:01 You've sort of been, you know, the woman in my life.
1292 01:12:09 You've been the man in mine.
1293 01:12:12 And I was thinking this could be our last time...
1294 01:12:14 We shouldn't be doing this.
1295 01:12:16 Oh, it's rom-com Friday. Rom-com Friday is sacred.
1296 01:12:20 We should be helping Emma.
1297 01:12:21 - We gotta get her on TV. - Sheldon is on it. Come on.
1298 01:12:26 - How does this work, anyway? - It's infrared.
1299 01:12:29 - It reduces inflammation. - Oh, good.
1300 01:12:32 But you can't keep it on too long. It'll blow your face off.
1301 01:12:35 What?
1302 01:12:40 Someday when I'm awfully low
1303 01:12:45 And the world is cold...
1304 01:12:48 Saw this movie with Eddie.
1305 01:12:52 - It was our first date. - Was it really?
1306 01:12:54 Yeah.
1307 01:12:57 Then he... took me out for dinner after.
1308 01:13:02 Well, I took him out.
1309 01:13:04 He didn't have any money.
1310 01:13:06 He was just starting out in comedy,
1311 01:13:08 and he didn't have the big show like now.
1312 01:13:13 Fifteen years, he didn't have any money.
1313 01:13:16 And I picked up the tab. I paid.
1314 01:13:20 - That was a bad move. - No kidding. I'm still paying.
1315 01:13:29 Can I make an observation?
1316 01:13:31 Is it a pleasant observation or is it an irritating one?
1317 01:13:36 You're not over him.
1318 01:13:37 No, don't say that. I am not...
1319 01:13:39 Trust me. I am...
1320 01:13:41 I am way over him.
1321 01:13:44 I'm just mad at myself, you know, I am so...
1322 01:13:48 Why it took me so long to...
1323 01:13:51 Figure it out.
1324 01:13:54 You know? I believed him. I believed him every single time.
1325 01:13:59 "I promise you, it's nothing."
1326 01:14:01 "It's meaningless. She's nothing to me. It's over."
1327 01:14:05 I finally got the message, you know. He didn't love me.
1328 01:14:10 He didn't...
1329 01:14:12 He didn't even like me.
1330 01:14:16 But he liked the money.
1331 01:14:18 Oh, yeah, so I got out.
1332 01:14:23 I got out...
1333 01:14:25 And I gave him half my money.
1334 01:14:28 And now here we are, singing to trucks.
1335 01:14:32 And he's got a hit TV show.
1336 01:14:34 And I still owe him half my unemployment check.
1337 01:14:36 It's Eddie Sharpe!
1338 01:14:40 Welcome, everybody! What's today's words of wisdom?
1339 01:14:43 Never sign a prenup!
1340 01:14:50 And you know what the worst part is?
1341 01:14:55 I shut down.
1342 01:14:58 He took my little, delicate blueberry heart, and he just...
1343 01:15:05 squished it.
1344 01:15:10 - What? - Here's what you're gonna do, okay?
1345 01:15:14 You're gonna wear something heart-stopping, like that yellow cape
1346 01:15:17 and those cute little boots.
1347 01:15:20 And you are gonna march down
1348 01:15:21 to that principal's office like a bad, bad girl.
1349 01:15:26 Tom?
1350 01:15:27 Tom is a fan. Friend.
1351 01:15:30 Well...
1352 01:15:32 He likes you.
1353 01:15:34 As a fan. Friend.
1354 01:15:37 I don't know. Not even that much anymore.
1355 01:15:39 Okay, let's cut the crap. I would kill, kill,
1356 01:15:42 to have a guy look at me the way that he looks at you.
1357 01:15:45 Stop it.
1358 01:15:48 You're just... You're poking my heart with your finger.
1359 01:15:53 Your still-beating, delicate little blueberry heart?
1360 01:16:02 Do you think he really, really likes me?
1361 01:16:05 Oh, my God, yes!
1362 01:16:08 Barry!
1363 01:16:11 - I love you! I love you! - I love you! I love you!
1364 01:16:14 You're just such a great... everything.
1365 01:16:19 Okay, no, no, no. Okay.
1366 01:16:22 This, the master stroke, your idea.
1367 01:16:24 - And the boots? - And the little cute boots.
1368 01:16:28 This is it.
1369 01:16:33 That is good.
1370 01:16:40 Now...
1371 01:16:42 You.
1372 01:16:46 I've been thinking about you since we got here.
1373 01:16:49 Oh, God. I knew this was gonna somehow turn around to me.
1374 01:16:52 And I think it's time
1375 01:16:54 somebody poked that gay little heart of yours.
1376 01:16:57 Are we doing this? Fine. Uh...
1377 01:16:59 Do I only go for 10s when I know I'm a 6.2? Yes and...
1378 01:17:02 Your parents. You're from Ohio, right?
1379 01:17:06 So?
1380 01:17:08 We're in Indiana.
1381 01:17:10 Ohio, Indiana, they're close.
1382 01:17:11 I can see where you're driving this.
1383 01:17:13 You have two living parents
1384 01:17:16 that you'll never be nearer to than you are right now.
1385 01:17:19 - I think you should call them. - No.
1386 01:17:23 They threw me away.
1387 01:17:24 Well, did they really?
1388 01:17:26 I told them that I was gay,
1389 01:17:28 and they said that they would
1390 01:17:29 take me to therapy to change myself completely.
1391 01:17:34 Let your parents see who you are before it's too late.
1392 01:17:40 If you don't...
1393 01:17:42 You'll regret it.
1394 01:17:46 I'm not the one who should have regrets.
1395 01:17:50 I was the kid.
1396 01:17:53 I was the kid!
1397 01:17:56 I was 16.
1398 01:18:00 Sixteen years old. I was terrified.
1399 01:18:04 Terrified!
1400 01:18:08 And I needed one thing from them and they couldn't give it to me.
1401 01:18:11 So don't you...
1402 01:18:34 Would the following students
1403 01:18:35 please report to after-school detention?
1404 01:18:38 Harlan Doolittle...
1405 01:18:39 Olivia Blanc, Frances Doolittle. Thank you.
1406 01:18:44 Well, they each had a bite.
1407 01:18:46 - What'd you do? - Yeah, a big bite.
1408 01:18:49 I appreciate it. Bye-bye.
1409 01:18:54 Am I interrupting something?
1410 01:18:56 I was just doing some research,
1411 01:18:58 trying to figure out if urinal cakes are poisonous.
1412 01:19:02 How can I help you?
1413 01:19:04 Well, I've just been wandering around town all day.
1414 01:19:11 I've seen the... sight.
1415 01:19:15 And, um...
1416 01:19:18 Bottom line is I just thought you might want to take me to dinner
1417 01:19:23 and worship me again.
1418 01:19:26 No, I would not like to do that.
1419 01:19:28 Now if you'll excuse me, I've got work to do.
1420 01:19:30 Okay, what's going on here? Why is everybody always so mad at me?
1421 01:19:33 Well, speaking for myself, it's because you're an opportunist.
1422 01:19:37 You came here for publicity. You're a terrible person.
1423 01:19:40 No, no. Nobody gets to talk to me that way. Nobody!
1424 01:19:44 You know, meeting you in person
1425 01:19:45 has been colossally disappointing.
1426 01:19:48 I wanted you to be Dolores.
1427 01:19:50 Who the hell is Dolores?
1428 01:19:52 From Swallow the Moon.
1429 01:19:54 She was joyful. She was full of courage and hope.
1430 01:19:58 - Okay, but she was fictional. - But you made her real.
1431 01:20:03 When you sang "The Lady's Improving" to Troy Gibson,
1432 01:20:05 you were admitting you weren't perfect
1433 01:20:07 and you knew you could be better,
1434 01:20:08 and that's why he didn't fire you from the circus act.
1435 01:20:13 Such humility and dignity.
1436 01:20:16 - That's who I thought you were. - Well, I'm not.
1437 01:20:20 I'm not Dolores.
1438 01:20:23 I'm just a really, really, really good actress. And you...
1439 01:20:28 You're just some hick town high school teacher
1440 01:20:31 who can't even tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
1441 01:20:34 - Are we done? - Oh, yeah, we're done.
1442 01:20:47 The lady's improving
1443 01:20:53 So don't give up hope
1444 01:21:00 You ask, "Is she perfect?"
1445 01:21:05 My answer is nope
1446 01:21:09 I know what you're doing.
1447 01:21:12 Her range needs expanding
1448 01:21:16 Her edges need sanding
1449 01:21:19 But she can become a sure bet
1450 01:21:25 So I'm begging you, sir
1451 01:21:27 Don't give up on her yet
1452 01:21:31 You're trying to appeal to the fan in me.
1453 01:21:32 It won't work. I'm not a fan anymore.
1454 01:21:34 The lady's improving so much that she gloats
1455 01:21:40 I know you've got standards
1456 01:21:42 Feel free to give notes
1457 01:21:45 There isn't an issue and that's why I wish you could see
1458 01:21:52 There's no reason to fret
1459 01:21:56 So I'm begging you, sir
1460 01:21:58 Don't give up on her yet
1461 01:22:01 Seriously, Dee Dee, this is unsettling.
1462 01:22:03 It's like having a fantasy I don't want to have.
1463 01:22:06 Everybody thinks that
1464 01:22:08 I've got some kinks that I'll never work out
1465 01:22:12 Even you're inclined to think I'm unrefined
1466 01:22:17 But I promise with some time
1467 01:22:20 That my aptitude will climb
1468 01:22:23 And you'll leave your doubts and disbeliefs behind
1469 01:22:31 The lady's improving, removing all doubt
1470 01:22:37 She has hidden charms that are sure to come out
1471 01:22:42 You're bound to discover this book's not her cover
1472 01:22:46 I need you to stop.
1473 01:22:48 So don't make a move you'll regret
1474 01:22:53 So I'm begging you, sir
1475 01:22:56 No reneging on her
1476 01:22:59 Don't give up on her
1477 01:23:09 Yet!
1478 01:23:21 Okay, I admit that got to me.
1479 01:23:24 See? See?
1480 01:23:26 I'm not a total lost cause. That was a totally selfless act.
1481 01:23:31 I mean, people would pay premium prices for that performance.
1482 01:23:35 All right, you guys are dismissed.
1483 01:23:36 Dee Dee, not charging for an apology is not a selfless act.
1484 01:23:42 What the hell?
1485 01:23:43 If you want people to like you
1486 01:23:44 instead of hate you, you have to be good.
1487 01:23:47 A good person.
1488 01:23:48 You have to put other people's interests before your own.
1489 01:23:52 You don't understand. I am a celebrity.
1490 01:23:55 It is all about me. It has been for decades.
1491 01:23:59 That's the point of celebrity. So I have to be reprogrammed.
1492 01:24:03 I have to unlearn things like shoving and taking.
1493 01:24:07 - You know... - Yes.
1494 01:24:08 I need help with that. I need a...
1495 01:24:12 Teacher.
1496 01:24:17 Please.
1497 01:24:24 Let's go some place and talk about how to be good human beings.
1498 01:24:30 Apples & Bees?
1499 01:24:53 Thanks for meeting me. I was afraid you wouldn't come...
1500 01:24:55 What do you want?
1501 01:24:56 - I'm sorry about what happened. - Were you in on it?
1502 01:24:59 Emma! You know me.
1503 01:25:01 Do I?
1504 01:25:04 What is this?
1505 01:25:06 What are we?
1506 01:25:07 - No, you know what we are. - No, I don't.
1507 01:25:11 Do you know what it was like
1508 01:25:12 standing there in that stupid dress alone in the gym,
1509 01:25:16 knowing that people got together
1510 01:25:17 and planned the best way to hurt me?
1511 01:25:20 - That must've been awful. - It was.
1512 01:25:23 But the worst part...
1513 01:25:27 The worst part was that
1514 01:25:28 you didn't come even though you knew what happened.
1515 01:25:32 You didn't come and try and hold my hand or take me out of there.
1516 01:25:36 - I couldn't, okay? - Why?
1517 01:25:38 You know what my mother is like.
1518 01:25:40 She's a complete and total control freak.
1519 01:25:43 The hair has to be perfect
1520 01:25:46 The A's have to be straight
1521 01:25:48 You have to join the debate club on that there's no debate
1522 01:25:52 You'll have Bible camp each summer to keep you pure and clean
1523 01:25:57 Endless rules apply when you're Alyssa Greene
1524 01:26:02 Trophies have to be first place, ribbons have to be blue
1525 01:26:07 There's always some competition or hoops for jumping through
1526 01:26:11 Your mom's made sacrifices so win homecoming queen
1527 01:26:16 'Cause it's do-or-die when you're Alyssa Greene
1528 01:26:23 And you wish there was a world where you were simply free to live
1529 01:26:28 And when people criticize you you had no more shits to give
1530 01:26:33 And in this other lifetime
1531 01:26:35 When you tell yourself "Be brave", you won't cave
1532 01:26:39 That's the one thing I truly crave
1533 01:26:46 But your feelings have to be phony, your weight has to be tracked
1534 01:26:51 If you don't like shaking pom-poms, you'd better learn to act
1535 01:26:56 Just have everything perfected by the time you reach 18
1536 01:27:01 Don't ask how or why when you're Alyssa Greene
1537 01:27:08 Improve all of your strong points and hide things that you lack
1538 01:27:14 'Cause Mom's convinced
1539 01:27:15 if you're perfect your father might come back
1540 01:27:22 You're not yourself
1541 01:27:23 You're not what she wants, you're someone in between
1542 01:27:27 Your whole life's a lie when you're Alyssa Greene
1543 01:27:38 I'm gonna go public and tell my story.
1544 01:27:42 - Will you do it with me? - I want to. I...
1545 01:27:45 Yeah, wanting to isn't enough.
1546 01:27:50 I believe you have feelings for me.
1547 01:27:54 But I can't do this anymore. It hurts too much.
1548 01:27:58 Are you breaking up with me?
1549 01:28:01 I guess I am, yeah.
1550 01:28:05 Bye.
1551 01:28:08 You're not yourself
1552 01:28:10 You're not what she wants, you're someone in between
1553 01:28:23 I saw it on CNN.
1554 01:28:24 They said that Edgewater, Indiana overflows with bigotry.
1555 01:28:28 Hey, look. It's that guy from Talk to the Hand.
1556 01:28:30 Hey, guys. I was just taking a walk,
1557 01:28:32 enjoying the sweet scent of Americana.
1558 01:28:35 We're not interested.
1559 01:28:36 I feel like there's an ideological divide between us,
1560 01:28:40 but if we got to know each other, we could bridge it, right?
1561 01:28:44 So I'll start.
1562 01:28:46 I'm Trent. I'm an actor.
1563 01:28:49 My instrument was forged in the fiery furnace that is Juilliard.
1564 01:28:54 I'm sure your drama teachers told you about that institution.
1565 01:28:56 We don't have a drama program.
1566 01:28:58 Explains your general lack of empathy.
1567 01:29:01 Let's start with you.
1568 01:29:02 - Me? - Yes. Why do you hate gay people?
1569 01:29:04 I'm a good person,
1570 01:29:05 - Right, Shelby? - Yeah. Yeah, we all are.
1571 01:29:08 - We go to church. - Yeah, we're Christian.
1572 01:29:10 Well, I'm sure there are a lot
1573 01:29:12 of rules in the Bible that you break every day.
1574 01:29:15 Well, that's different.
1575 01:29:19 Is it?
1576 01:29:20 You can't cherry-pick the Bible,
1577 01:29:23 choosing which parts you want to believe.
1578 01:29:25 We don't do that.
1579 01:29:27 You don't?
1580 01:29:29 Then what's this?
1581 01:29:31 Kaylee has a small tattoo
1582 01:29:35 That tattoo would be taboo
1583 01:29:39 Kaylee, guess what waits for you
1584 01:29:42 What?
1585 01:29:43 An eternity in the fiery pits of hell
1586 01:29:47 Shelby, you seem sweet to me
1587 01:29:51 But if it has come to be
1588 01:29:56 You've lost your virginity
1589 01:30:00 We'll be stoning you and your family as well
1590 01:30:03 What?
1591 01:30:04 Or we could use some common sense instead
1592 01:30:08 When you're lost it always helps recalling
1593 01:30:12 Those immortal words that Jesus said
1594 01:30:15 Really?
1595 01:30:16 There's one rule that trumps them all
1596 01:30:20 Love thy neighbor
1597 01:30:22 Love thy neighbor
1598 01:30:24 Love thy neighbor trumps them all
1599 01:30:28 Love thy neighbor
1600 01:30:30 Love thy neighbor
1601 01:30:32 Love thy neighbor trumps them all
1602 01:30:36 - You know, you kind of make sense. - What are you talking about?
1603 01:30:40 Oh, come on. You guys don't even feel, like,
1604 01:30:43 slightly bad for Emma?
1605 01:30:44 I mean, you guys used to hang out.
1606 01:30:45 That was before she turned gay.
1607 01:30:47 Maybe she was always gay.
1608 01:30:49 Exactly, because that's the way God made her, Shelby.
1609 01:30:52 - Come on. What? - Whatever.
1610 01:30:54 - It's the Godspell kids! - Hey, Trent. What's going on?
1611 01:30:57 - You guys'll back me up. - With what?
1612 01:30:58 He's just trying to confuse us. Because my stepdad always says...
1613 01:31:03 Stepdad? Do you mean your parents are divorced?
1614 01:31:07 Yeah, and?
1615 01:31:08 Well, divorce is a big no-no.
1616 01:31:12 Not to oversimplify
1617 01:31:16 But the scripture does imply
1618 01:31:20 That your mom will have to die
1619 01:31:24 How's tomorrow if she's not got any plans?
1620 01:31:28 There's no way to separate
1621 01:31:32 Which rules you can violate
1622 01:31:36 Let's hope you don't masturbate
1623 01:31:40 'Cause the scripture says we'll have to cut off your...
1624 01:31:43 Hands
1625 01:31:44 Or we could use some common sense instead
1626 01:31:48 When you're lost it always helps recalling
1627 01:31:52 Those immortal words that Jesus said
1628 01:31:56 There's one rule that trumps them all
1629 01:32:00 Love thy neighbor, love thy neighbor
1630 01:32:04 Love thy neighbor trumps them all
1631 01:32:09 Love thy neighbor, love thy neighbor
1632 01:32:13 Love thy neighbor trumps them all
1633 01:32:17 Love thy neighbor
1634 01:32:18 Yes!
1635 01:32:20 Love thy neighbor trumps them all
1636 01:32:24 - Love thy neighbor - Love thy neighbor
1637 01:32:28 Love thy neighbor
1638 01:32:30 Trumps them all!
1639 01:32:55 Love thy neighbor, love thy neighbor
1640 01:32:59 Love thy neighbor trumps them all
1641 01:33:03 Love thy neighbor
1642 01:33:05 Love thy neighbor
1643 01:33:07 Love thy neighbor
1644 01:33:08 Trumps them all!
1645 01:33:10 Love thy neighbor
1646 01:33:14 Love thy neighbor. Hear the call
1647 01:33:17 Time to make some better choices
1648 01:33:19 Drop the hate and raise your voices
1649 01:33:21 Love thy neighbor is the one that trumps 'em all
1650 01:33:25 Love thy neighbor. Love thy neighbor
1651 01:33:27 Jesus, take the wheel and steer it if you feel the Holy Spirit
1652 01:33:32 Come on, kids, and let me hear it. What?
1653 01:33:35 - Love thy neighbor - All right now!
1654 01:33:37 Love thy neighbor
1655 01:33:39 Love thy neighbor trumps them all!
1656 01:33:42 Love thy neighbor
1657 01:33:44 Love thy neighbor
1658 01:33:46 Love thy neighbor
1659 01:33:47 Trumps them all!
1660 01:33:52 Please.
1661 01:33:58 Hi, everyone.
1662 01:33:59 It's okay, it's okay. He knows what we're up to.
1663 01:34:01 And I'm on board,
1664 01:34:03 as long as Emma's comfortable with it.
1665 01:34:05 Well, she's outta luck,
1666 01:34:07 'cause we got nothin'.
1667 01:34:08 It's not over yet. Dee Dee.
1668 01:34:11 I have arranged a TV appearance for her...
1669 01:34:14 on Eddie Sharpe.
1670 01:34:16 She's booked for tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m.
1671 01:34:20 Not the house in the Hamptons.
1672 01:34:22 Yes.
1673 01:34:25 Hello, Eddie,
1674 01:34:27 it's Dee Dee, your brutalized ex-wife.
1675 01:34:30 But I'm calling on another matter entirely.
1676 01:34:34 What I did...
1677 01:34:36 Was I put her interest ahead of my own.
1678 01:34:41 I expect nothing in return.
1679 01:34:44 I have no agenda
1680 01:34:46 other than to ease someone else's burden.
1681 01:34:50 - Dee Dee, that is incredibly generous of you! - I know!
1682 01:34:55 Hang on. What kind of audience are we talking about here?
1683 01:34:58 I mean, Eddie Sharpe on a weekday?
1684 01:35:00 Fifteen, sixteen million!
1685 01:35:02 Dee Dee! You saved the day!
1686 01:35:04 Yeah, I did.
1687 01:35:07 I love giving back.
1688 01:35:09 - It's my new thing. - There you go!
1689 01:35:11 Emma!
1690 01:35:12 Emma! You wait until you hear the news.
1691 01:35:14 Dee Dee has got you booked on Eddie Sharpe tomorrow at 8:00
1692 01:35:18 with an audience of 16 million people!
1693 01:35:22 That's amazing. Thank you.
1694 01:35:24 I'm just... I'm so happy to be able to help.
1695 01:35:26 And I'm gonna take a stand.
1696 01:35:29 And I want to thank you all
1697 01:35:30 because without your love and support,
1698 01:35:33 I never would have found the courage.
1699 01:35:35 But, the reason I came was to tell you that...
1700 01:35:40 I'm going to do it my way.
1701 01:35:44 I'm not going on TV.
1702 01:35:51 - You owe me a house! - Oh, my God.
1703 01:35:54 - You owe me a house! - Go, go!
1704 01:35:55 - I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. - Run! Run!
1705 01:35:57 She owes me a house! She owes me my house!
1706 01:36:01 I need my house.
1707 01:36:04 She's a very passionate woman.
1708 01:36:07 So here's what's gonna happen.
1709 01:36:09 I'm gonna do my thing,
1710 01:36:11 and in the end, there will be a kick-ass prom
1711 01:36:15 in Edgewater, Indiana, for everybody,
1712 01:36:18 regardless of who they happen to love.
1713 01:36:21 I know it.
1714 01:36:22 That... That would be wonderful.
1715 01:36:25 And when that happens,
1716 01:36:28 I want you to be my date.
1717 01:36:33 Wait, but what about...
1718 01:36:34 We broke up.
1719 01:36:37 Just say yes.
1720 01:36:39 There's no one in the world I'd rather go with.
1721 01:36:46 God. Don't make me cry.
1722 01:36:52 Of course I will go with you.
1723 01:36:55 We are going to the prom.
1724 01:36:59 God.
1725 01:37:09 I can't believe it.
1726 01:37:16 I'm oddly excited
1727 01:37:20 Perhaps that's because
1728 01:37:23 Although it shouldn't matter
1729 01:37:27 It somehow does
1730 01:37:33 It's strange but I feel like I'm in a time machine
1731 01:37:38 'Cause guess what? It's like I'm suddenly 17
1732 01:37:42 So book a white limo, uncork the Dom
1733 01:37:46 After 21 years I am finally going to prom
1734 01:37:53 I once thought a night like this wasn't in the cards
1735 01:37:58 Now I've got a date, a tux and the whole nine yards
1736 01:38:02 A rational person would just stay calm
1737 01:38:06 Oh, since when am I rational?
1738 01:38:08 Barry is going to prom!
1739 01:38:11 The prom!
1740 01:38:13 I wish I could tell that sad kid I was
1741 01:38:18 To stop crying into his Cheetos
1742 01:38:22 They say, "It gets better"
1743 01:38:24 Guess what? It does
1744 01:38:27 Who cares if you're a big old girl?
1745 01:38:29 Just get into that gym and twirl
1746 01:38:39 Barry's going to the
1747 01:38:43 To the freakin' prom
1748 01:38:54 Going to the prom.
1749 01:39:02 In showbiz I never felt such a thrill divine
1750 01:39:06 My date is a high school lesbian still it's fine
1751 01:39:10 And though it's been years I might call my mom
1752 01:39:15 And tell her that though it's overdue
1753 01:39:17 All of my waiting is over too
1754 01:39:20 And if you're not happy, I'm over you
1755 01:39:22 'Cause Barry
1756 01:39:26 Yes, Barry
1757 01:39:30 Go on.
1758 01:39:31 Look at me, Mom
1759 01:39:32 Barry's going to...
1760 01:39:35 Prom
1761 01:39:41 Yeah!
1762 01:40:06 Hello, interweb.
1763 01:40:08 My name is Emma Nolan,
1764 01:40:09 and I'm 17 and I'm gay.
1765 01:40:12 You might have heard about the fake prom in Indiana.
1766 01:40:15 That was me.
1767 01:40:17 It was awful in every way,
1768 01:40:20 and I spent a lot of time feeling sorry for myself.
1769 01:40:23 So I wrote a song for all the people out there
1770 01:40:27 who love someone in a way that the world just doesn't understand.
1771 01:40:32 I know we all have stories to tell,
1772 01:40:34 and here's mine.
1773 01:40:38 Some hearts can conform, fitting the norm
1774 01:40:43 Flaunting their love for all to see
1775 01:40:46 I tried to change
1776 01:40:48 Thinking how easy life could be
1777 01:40:53 I just kept on failing
1778 01:40:56 I guess that was a sign
1779 01:41:00 That there wasn't much hope
1780 01:41:04 For this unruly heart of mine
1781 01:41:12 Then you came along and right or wrong
1782 01:41:17 Feelings began to overflow
1783 01:41:20 We had to hide
1784 01:41:22 Thinking that no one else could know
1785 01:41:26 And not having you near me
1786 01:41:29 Was where I drew the line
1787 01:41:33 So I had to conceal
1788 01:41:36 This poor unruly heart of mine
1789 01:41:46 Hi, Emma. I loved your video.
1790 01:41:48 Where do I start?
1791 01:41:49 I think my parents always knew.
1792 01:41:51 I felt so alone. Nothing made sense until him.
1793 01:41:55 She's the best thing in my life.
1794 01:41:57 The only good thing.
1795 01:41:58 But we're always hiding.
1796 01:42:00 You're not the only one.
1797 01:42:02 And though I don't know how or when
1798 01:42:06 But somehow I learned to see
1799 01:42:09 No matter what the world might say
1800 01:42:12 This heart is the best part of me
1801 01:42:23 So fear's all in the past
1802 01:42:26 Fading so fast
1803 01:42:27 I won't stay hidden anymore
1804 01:42:31 I'm who I am
1805 01:42:33 And I think that's worth fighting for
1806 01:42:36 And nobody out there
1807 01:42:39 Ever gets to define
1808 01:42:48 The life I'm meant to lead
1809 01:42:51 With this unruly heart of mine
1810 01:43:04 Mine
1811 01:43:11 And nobody out there
1812 01:43:14 Ever gets to define
1813 01:43:18 The life I'm meant to lead
1814 01:43:21 With this unruly heart of mine.
1815 01:43:45 This is too much. It's too much for my heart.
1816 01:43:47 That's why I wanted you guys to see it.
1817 01:43:49 I've never been more proud.
1818 01:43:51 So when is the prom?
1819 01:43:52 There's no money left.
1820 01:43:54 What? What do you mean?
1821 01:43:55 We already had a prom, remember?
1822 01:43:57 There could be a miracle. It's early.
1823 01:44:02 Okay, people, it's Mickey and Judy time. Okay?
1824 01:44:05 This is the part where we roll up our sleeves
1825 01:44:07 and we put on a prom with our own bare hands.
1826 01:44:09 We are giving Emma the prom she deserves.
1827 01:44:12 Okay, wait a minute.
1828 01:44:14 How much are we talking about? What does a prom cost?
1829 01:44:18 I mean, it's not a school-sanctioned event,
1830 01:44:19 so we have to pay a rental fee on the gym.
1831 01:44:22 DJ.
1832 01:44:23 - Lighting. - Sound system.
1833 01:44:24 It's still thousands of dollars.
1834 01:44:27 Right.
1835 01:44:32 Okay, here.
1836 01:44:35 Charge that until it declines, which will be soon.
1837 01:44:38 I had to declare bankruptcy after my
1838 01:44:40 self-produced Notes on a Scandal.
1839 01:44:42 Yes. Well...
1840 01:44:45 I don't have a credit card anymore because I...
1841 01:44:47 Well, I just...
1842 01:44:49 But, anyway, you can...
1843 01:44:50 you can have what I have in my Venmo
1844 01:44:52 and there's my cash.
1845 01:44:54 It's all yours.
1846 01:44:55 - Thanks, Angie. - Sure.
1847 01:44:58 Okay. This is my card from the Actors Federal Credit Union.
1848 01:45:00 Just cross your fingers and swipe.
1849 01:45:04 All right. Well, we're making some progress here.
1850 01:45:06 This is a nice start.
1851 01:45:09 We still have a long way to go.
1852 01:45:16 - Dee Dee. Dee Dee? - What?
1853 01:45:20 Come on.
1854 01:45:21 I know you've got an American Express black card in there.
1855 01:45:23 There's no limit on that baby.
1856 01:45:25 Please, please, no.
1857 01:45:28 I already gave a house.
1858 01:45:30 Exactly, so this is nothing. Come on.
1859 01:45:34 Eleanor.
1860 01:45:38 Franklin.
1861 01:45:43 Why does being good cost so much... money?
1862 01:45:51 Well done, Dee Dee.
1863 01:45:53 We're fully financed.
1864 01:45:54 - Yeah! - Okay, well, let's give this girl a prom!
1865 01:45:57 Yes! Okay, let's do it!
1866 01:45:59 The students will want to see us perform some sort of number.
1867 01:46:03 So, look, I... I've been thinking hard about this.
1868 01:46:07 That thing that you and I were talking about.
1869 01:46:11 I called your mother.
1870 01:46:13 What?
1871 01:46:14 Yeah, I found her number in your phone.
1872 01:46:18 How did you know my passcode?
1873 01:46:20 Well, I guessed.
1874 01:46:21 9481. Beyoncé's birthday.
1875 01:46:24 Got it on the first try.
1876 01:46:27 Well, why would you do that?
1877 01:46:28 Because, Barry...
1878 01:46:32 I know you couldn't do it on your own.
1879 01:46:34 What did she say?
1880 01:46:36 Well, I think maybe you should let her tell you that.
1881 01:46:39 Hi, Barry.
1882 01:46:42 Okay. I'm gonna give you some space,
1883 01:46:43 and I'll be in the faculty lounge, okay?
1884 01:46:50 No. No, you... You don't get to do this. Okay?
1885 01:46:53 You don't get to show up out of nowhere. Okay? No.
1886 01:46:58 I came all this way, Barry.
1887 01:46:59 Well, you can just turn around and go right back, okay?
1888 01:47:02 You called me, didn't you?
1889 01:47:05 That was you who called and hung up, wasn't it?
1890 01:47:12 I handled this all wrong, honey.
1891 01:47:16 And I'm so sorry.
1892 01:47:17 Okay. You just... stay...
1893 01:47:22 When you told us
1894 01:47:24 what you were, who you were,
1895 01:47:28 your father and I, we were scared.
1896 01:47:31 We hardly knew what gay meant.
1897 01:47:33 We both thought that somehow we had failed you,
1898 01:47:35 like maybe it was our fault.
1899 01:47:39 So it's okay now?
1900 01:47:41 What I needed was a mother who didn't know if it was okay
1901 01:47:44 but loved me anyway.
1902 01:47:47 You think you were scared?
1903 01:47:48 How do you think I felt?
1904 01:47:50 I know, Barry. I failed you and I know.
1905 01:47:54 That's gonna be on my heart till the day I die.
1906 01:47:57 But all I can say is I was wrong and I'm sorry.
1907 01:48:07 What about Dad? Is he here?
1908 01:48:10 No. He's just not...
1909 01:48:13 He's not there yet.
1910 01:48:15 I'm sorry to say.
1911 01:48:17 Barry.
1912 01:48:20 Please forgive me.
1913 01:48:23 I've missed you so much.
1914 01:48:29 I missed you too.
1915 01:48:32 I did.
1916 01:48:34 I missed you too. I missed you.
1917 01:48:42 Then you came along and right or wrong...
1918 01:48:46 Aren't you tired of watching that?
1919 01:48:48 Eight million people have seen it.
1920 01:48:51 I just don't understand it.
1921 01:48:53 Well, I think it's brave.
1922 01:48:56 The kids are saying there's gonna be another prom.
1923 01:48:59 Someone's offered to pay for it.
1924 01:49:03 Who?
1925 01:49:05 This is so generous of you guys.
1926 01:49:07 We had to do something after you broke the Internet.
1927 01:49:10 It was crazy.
1928 01:49:11 The numbers just kept going up,
1929 01:49:13 and then the Indiana Star called,
1930 01:49:15 and then the Washington Post...
1931 01:49:16 Hello, everyone.
1932 01:49:18 Can't have a prom without flowers.
1933 01:49:20 So I will put these out on the table,
1934 01:49:22 even though I'd rather just give them all to you.
1935 01:49:24 - Oh, my God! - Is this for real?
1936 01:49:26 Can I just say
1937 01:49:28 you guys are the best middle-aged people I've ever met.
1938 01:49:34 That is...
1939 01:49:36 Honey...
1940 01:49:38 We need to talk to you about something, okay?
1941 01:49:39 And I think it's...
1942 01:49:42 It's important that you understand
1943 01:49:44 the real reason why we came here to visit you.
1944 01:49:47 It wasn't for the Hoosier pie?
1945 01:49:50 Well, I mean,
1946 01:49:55 - We were in a show. - A wonderful show.
1947 01:49:57 Well, I mean...
1948 01:49:59 And we got blasted by the critics.
1949 01:50:02 They called us narcissists, and it hurt.
1950 01:50:06 And it hurt because I guess they were right.
1951 01:50:09 So we looked around for a cause
1952 01:50:11 that might give us some credibility.
1953 01:50:14 Maybe get us some good press.
1954 01:50:16 Like building a house for Habitat for Humanity.
1955 01:50:19 Then we realized that we're not capable of building anything.
1956 01:50:22 And then I found you on Twitter.
1957 01:50:24 I mean, it was just dumb luck, but meant to be.
1958 01:50:28 Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, but...
1959 01:50:33 You're going to build something.
1960 01:50:35 You're going to build a prom.
1961 01:50:38 Stop it! Stop this, please!
1962 01:50:40 Who gave you people permission to be in here?
1963 01:50:43 I did.
1964 01:50:43 Well, you should have consulted with the PTA.
1965 01:50:46 Well, this is not a school event,
1966 01:50:47 so I'm not obliged to get the PTA's approval.
1967 01:50:50 I'm going to be as clear as I possibly can.
1968 01:50:55 Your beliefs are not our beliefs.
1969 01:50:59 Emma. Can we talk to you?
1970 01:51:06 I was a jerk, and I'm sorry.
1971 01:51:10 You deserve to go to prom just like any other kid.
1972 01:51:13 What? I thought you hated me.
1973 01:51:16 I thought you all hated me.
1974 01:51:17 They hated you.
1975 01:51:19 They hated you with a burning passion
1976 01:51:21 stoked by centuries of intolerance
1977 01:51:23 and the lack of a drama program.
1978 01:51:25 I'm sorry, too, Emma.
1979 01:51:28 You know, you explain things really well.
1980 01:51:31 You should be, like, a teacher.
1981 01:51:33 - You should be our drama teacher! - Yes, please!
1982 01:51:36 You should do it. Do it.
1983 01:51:39 - You're hired! - I'm a teacher!
1984 01:51:40 - As a temp. - Absolutely.
1985 01:51:42 No, no, no! This is... This is what I was afraid of.
1986 01:51:45 - Mom! - Let me finish!
1987 01:51:46 No, you have got to stop talking and just listen, okay?
1988 01:51:52 People don't turn gay.
1989 01:51:55 They are who they are.
1990 01:51:56 No. You don't know what you're saying.
1991 01:51:58 I do.
1992 01:52:00 I do.
1993 01:52:03 Look, I know how you were raised,
1994 01:52:04 but... the world's a different place.
1995 01:52:08 And sure, it's not great, but...
1996 01:52:11 It's... it's better because of people
1997 01:52:14 who have the courage to be who they are.
1998 01:52:19 People like her.
1999 01:52:25 I don't want to hurt you.
2000 01:52:27 I don't want to hurt anyone.
2001 01:52:33 I just want to be me.
2002 01:52:38 So here goes.
2003 01:52:40 I love you, Emma Nolan.
2004 01:52:42 Oh, my God.
2005 01:52:45 I love you too.
2006 01:52:47 Alyssa... No, listen to me.
2007 01:52:49 You are very young and you are confused.
2008 01:52:52 You don't know what is...
2009 01:53:00 I just don't want you to have a hard life.
2010 01:53:05 It's already hard.
2011 01:53:12 - Mom, I love you... - No.
2012 01:53:21 We'll...
2013 01:53:23 We can talk about this tonight. Okay? Okay?
2014 01:53:28 - Okay. - Okay. Okay.
2015 01:53:30 Mom...
2016 01:53:39 Just breathe.
2017 01:53:40 Why don't we decorate?
2018 01:53:41 Yes, let's decorate. Let's decorate everything.
2019 01:53:44 All right. I need you here.

2022 01:54:06 I'm so proud of you. Look at what you did.
2023 01:54:09 I can't believe this.
2024 01:54:12 I think we're early.
2025 01:54:14 Yeah, it looks like it.
2026 01:54:16 You want to hit up the punch bowl?
2027 01:54:19 No. There's only one thing that I want to do.
2028 01:54:24 I just wanna dance with you
2029 01:54:29 Let the whole world melt away
2030 01:54:31 And dance with you
2031 01:54:35 Who cares what other people say?
2032 01:54:38 And when we're through
2033 01:54:42 No one can convince us we were wrong
2034 01:54:48 All it takes is you and me
2035 01:54:56 And a song
2036 01:55:01 I just wanna dance with you
2037 01:55:04 Let the whole world melt away
2038 01:55:07 - And dance with you - I just wanna dance with you
2039 01:55:14 Oh, my! Are you kidding me?
2040 01:55:19 This is amazing.
2041 01:55:20 - Our first prom-goers have arrived. - Yeah.
2042 01:55:22 Girls, this is unbelievable.

2047 01:55:35 We're letting them in in one minute.
2048 01:55:37 So let's do this right.
2049 01:55:40 One thing you've taught me
2050 01:55:44 Is how much people enjoy a show
2051 01:55:47 And so you've got me
2052 01:55:49 Debating how this whole night should go
2053 01:55:53 Kids will be watching
2054 01:55:56 To see who every guest is
2055 01:55:59 And so my only request is
