Oh, my God.

Romeo and Julian.

My girl, you totally rule.

It's brilliant.

Romeo and Julian,

I actually kind of dig that.

Who knew?

- Randy, you should play Romeo.

- What?

Why not, dude?

I'll be your Julian

if you'll be my Romeo.

Everybody thinks I'm gay anyway

for hanging out with y'all,

but I'm still the

fastest boy in the football field,

so f*** 'em.

Leslie, you'd be cool with that?

Are you kidding?

I think boys together are like

the hottest thing on Earth like ever.

Damn, the preacher's kid's a freak.

Oh, my God,

everybody's going to flip out.

Efrem!

Squares.

You know this Shakespeare guy

kind of really knew his stuff.

So, Randy, do you mind me directing?

Randy?

You learned it already?

Enough.

Doesn't sound as good

as your keyboard, but...

I think I just about got

all the chords down.

You suck but in the most distracting way

You're beautiful

And there ain't nothing more to say

I get excited by the thought of you

It brightens up my day

So you suck in the most distracting way

When we fight, I was not right

I'm feeling like a clown

I dig my heels and stand my ground

'Til reason can be found

But when I'm faced with possibly

Not having you around

I'll do my best to work it out

I'll puff my chest,

I'll scream and shout

You

Suck

But in the most distracting way,

you're beautiful

I love you 'til my dying day

I get excited by the thought of you

it brightens up my day

So you suck but

in the most distracting way

I said you suck,

because you take my breath away

Randy.

Randy.

Randy.

- See y'all Sunday.

- Catch you later, Romeo.

Wherefore art thou!

- Later, guys.

- Bye y'all.

F*** off.

She was dead?

I swear it looked so real.

What does it mean, Crystal?

Why do I keep having these,

I don't know what they are, visions?

Or premonitions?

What are you saying?

She's saying you got the shining, dude.

Maybe it has something to do with

- you being, you know.

- Uh, oh.

With me being what?

You know.

No really, what?

Yeah right, not even.

Randy.

We're your friends, you can trust us.

Crystal, I'm not gay.

How do you know?

What kind of question is that?

You're still a virgin, right?

So are you.

Yeah, don't remind me.

So how do you know you're not gay?

Because when I masturbate,

I think about boys.

Crystal!

Just like you.

Crystal, for gosh sakes.

Randy, who do you think about?

- That's none of your...

- I think we know.

Oh, do we?

Dude, I think everyone knows.

Oh, do they?

Yeah, I mean, you heard Todd.

For gosh sakes.

Everyone thinks we're all gay anyway.

That's not about me, that's about you.

Me?

Okay, right.

See, you and your smart mouth.

Acting all bitchy.

I'm not like you.

I'm in the choir.

Now, that's butch.

Almost as butch

as you staring into Todd's

eyes singing love duets

in front of the entire school.

I was singing to both of them.

Jerking off to the both of them?

See, you're a b*tch.

What about you, Efrem?

Are you gay?

God, I hope so.

What else am I going to do

with all these Lady Gaga CDs?

But you're a skateboarder.

I know, right?

Isn't it fabulous?

Efrem, it's a sin.

And so's lying.

Give in to yourself.

- Randy.

- Don't touch me.

Dude, it's okay, she's a girl.

Both of you can go to hell.

Okay, see you there!

Efrem.

What do you want?

To see you.

You can see me at home.

Well, I think your mom may have

something to say about that.

Mom doesn't have much to say

since you lit out on her.

She didn't have too much

to say before I left neither.

Well sorry if losing her only daughter

took some of her attention off of you.

Randy, come on man,

we went over all this.

So, what are you doing here?

Why aren't you somewhere out there

looking for your daughter?

You don't think I've looked?

You don't think I'm still looking?

I'm here because I have

more than one child.

I came here to see how you're doing.

Well, here's how I'm doing,

how all teenagers

with deadbeat dads are doing.

Satisfied, Pops?

Who the hell you think

you're talking to?

I don't know, it's been a while.

Who the f*** are you?

What did you just say "f***" to me?

Randy! What did you just say...

Oh, my God.

F***?

"And call no man your father on Earth,

for you have one father

who is in heaven."

Mom?

Mom?

Mom, you are so corny sometimes.

Hey, Justine.

Randy, you need to come down

to the market.

Hey Randy,

she's in the back by frozen foods.

Just something for you to remember

to never forget, okay?

Thank you, baby, here.

Here you go, sis, okay?

Look closely, ma'am.

You could have saw her

this very morning, okay?

You never know, you never know.

Okay, I just need you to look,

just try to do your best.

Here you go, sister, here you go.

Think real hard, okay, 'cause she's a

beautiful little girl,

beautiful little girl.

Will you hear me, my baby's strong.

Here's one for you.

Hey, hey, this here,

this here's her brother, you know?

She looked just like him.

Yeah, she worships him.

Always did.

I'm ready to go home now.

Okay, come on, come on,

let's go home little one.

Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop.

Thank you so much, here, don't forget.

Don't forget, don't let them forget,

never forget.

It's okay, it's okay.

You hold onto mama's hand, okay?

Good and tight.

And don't you be sad, little baby boy.

Mama's got you.

You're safe.

Would you like for me

to sing you a song, baby?

Jesus loves me, this I know

For the Bible tells me so

Little ones to him belong

They are weak, but he is strong

Yes, Jesus loves me

Yes, Jesus loves me

Yes, Jesus loves me

For the Bible tells me so

Ooh, home.

Well baby, you go ahead

and get washed up

and I'm going to fix you

something special, you hear me?

- Yes ma'am.

- Okay.

Oh, gosh, she's here, Randy!

Oh, God, Randy, Randy, Randy!

In here!

Randy, Randy baby,

she was here, she was here.

She was here.

She read the note,

she ate a piece of pie.

She was here and I wasn't here for it.

I missed her.

She might be still here,

she might be still here hiding.

Chrissie, Chrissie, Chrissie baby!

Chrissie, it's okay!

She's not here.

How do you know?

You are not even looking, Randy.

Help Chrissie, mommy's here!

I ate the pie.

I ate the pie.

I thought it was for me.

Go to your room, Randy.

Go to your room!

Mom?

Mom?

- Todd?

- Hey.

Hey.

Sorry, are you in the middle

of something?

I can come back.

Oh, no, that's cool.

Cool.

Sh*t.

Now I'm here I feel stupid.

It's okay, Todd. What's going on?

It's just you're the only one I can

come to with this, you know?

With what?

Well, I read that the average age

to lose your virginity is 17.5 for boys

and 17.2 for girls,

and I'm 17.5 and Leslie's 17.2

and we're both totally ready, you know?

And we just don't want it to be like

in the back of a car or something, so,

we were wondering if maybe Sunday after

church service while you and your mom

are at Bible group we could

maybe use your bed.

Oh.

You mad at me?
