No.

For real?

Cool.

Thanks, man.

You're a really,

really good friend, you know that?

I didn't say yes.

But you didn't say no either.

Thanks, Randy.

One soul saved, one soul saved

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind but now I see

Oh, yeah

One soul saved, yeah

One soul saved, one soul saved

One soul saved, all the angels rejoice

When there's one soul saved

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah, Lord, hallelujah

Oh, Lord, hallelujah, yeah

When there's one soul saved, yeah

Since Leslie's not feeling well today,

Randy would you start us off?

"But he said unto him,

if the case of a man

be so with his wife,

then it is not good to marry."

Randolph?

Randolph?

"But he said unto them, all men cannot

receive the same.

Save they to whom it is given."

Praise God.

It's just me.

I just came around to say thank you.

And I owe you one.

I'm sorry, Todd, but I'm really not gay.

It's okay, dude.

Neither am I.

Finally.

Check it out.

"No temptation has seized you

except what is common to man.

And God is faithful.

He would not let you be tempted

beyond what you can bear.

But when you are tempted, He will also

provide a way out so

that you can stand up under it."

Hey.

Hey.

Where you headed?

None of your business.

Want me to help speed up

that business and give you a lift?

It wasn't that hard.

How's your mama?

She's, you know.

She got a doctor's appointment

coming up.

You should take her.

I'd love to if she'd let me.

She still sing to you?

Sometimes, not often anymore.

Well, sometimes you got to swim down

from the surface to keep from drowning.

Sometimes you gotta get away so you

can come back stronger.

So you can survive.

Um, you can let me off up here.

'Cause I know who I am

And you know who you are

'Cause all it takes, love,

is a little bit more love

And what we dream of isn't just made up

And we'll break free from the land

of impossibilities

You lost?

Um, no.

Well, I'm looking for the...

Yeah, a little lost.

Maybe I can steer you

in the right direction.

I'm here to audition

for the student film project.

Would you happen to know where the

performing arts building might be?

Well guess where I'm heading?

You stay away from me

or I'll scream, I mean it.

This place is deserted.

Scream all you want.

No, please, stop.

Please stop, stop, please stop.

Please stop.

Relax.

It'll be over before you know it.

Stop, somebody help!

Help please, stop!

And cut!

You guys, that was great.

You okay?

I didn't hurt you, did I?

No, just a little breathless.

Oh, you're breathless?

I am blown away.

Randy, needless to say,

if you want this part,

you more than got it.

Please say you want it.

Of course he wants it, Libby.

You want it, don't you Randy?

Okay, Marshall,

let's not scare our star away.

Randy, do you need a little time

to think this over?

Can I have a word with you?

Sure.

What's on your mind, Randy?

The script seems really good,

and you all seem really nice.

But?

But I'm not gay.

You're not gay.

Marshall's not a rapist.

You're actors, Randy.

Fabulous actors.

And you two were made for each other.

Just say yes.

Say yes.

Say yes, Libby, I will be your star.

Yes.

Yes, yes, Randy!

Here are the directions

and a form for your mama

to sign so she knows

you're gonna get raped.

But it's all in the name of art, okay?

Okay, yes, Randy.

Oh, Marshall, I was thinking.

What about...

Need a lift?

Uh no, I'm cool.

The bus should be here any minute.

I promise not to molest you again.

It's gonna rain.

In that case,

shouldn't you let your roof up?

I wasn't nervous.

Just freaked out?

But the further away

from you the role is,

the greater the challenge, right?

Like you don't mind playing

a gay rapist.

And you're not a gay rapist.

Well, not a rapist.

Huh?

Oh.

Yep.

Oh.

Can you work with an actor

who isn't totally acting?

Sure.

We do have a love scene.

We're going to be getting

up close and personal.

Can you handle the idea that

I might be involuntarily responsive?

Okay.

You know what, just tell me to shut up.

Okay, shut up.

But first, let me assure you

that I am a professional

and while we are rehearsing and shooting

you're totally safe with me.

You might as well be a girl.

Now tell me to shut up.

Shut up.

You younguns, No respect.

Cool tree, I like the ribbons.

We're waiting for someone.

I hear that.

Thanks for the ride.

Do you say that to all the guys?

Just say that wherever Randolph may be

right now that you send

Randolph home safe.

Hi, mom.

Hey, Pastor Crandall.

It's ten o'clock.

You could have called, Randolph.

I'm sorry, I rode into evening class

and just got a talking with the tutor.

Well, you do understand how your mother

feels considering the circumstances.

I'm sorry.

Well, I'll leave you two in peace.

Thank you so much, pastor.

Any time.

- God bless you.

- God bless you.

And I'll see you

in choir rehearsal, Randolph.

Pastor Crandall, thank you.

Come here.

I really am sorry, mom.

Are you tired?

What?

Are you getting bored with God?

Mom, please.

It's okay.

I understand.

I've dreamed of releasing myself.

And I find myself wishing...

they would just tell me that she dead...

and bring me my baby's body

so I can kill myself.

But I can't give up.

I can't let go.

Mom, please don't cry.

I'll never stop crying, Randy.

I never stop praying,

waiting 'til they find my baby

or at least find out

why we being punished.

So if you stay here

or fly away like your daddy,

I'll still be right here waiting.

I may not be a wife anymore,

I may not even be a woman anymore,

but I'll never stop being a mother.

I will never stop being a mother.

I love you, mom.

Go to bed, Randy.

Just go to bed.

Go to bed.

Marshall?

I'm worried about you.

I just wanted to check you out.

I'm fine.

You're fine, all right.

So fine.

Hey y'all.

Is this a gay party or can

a dirty straight boy join in?

Relax, Randy.

If it feels this good,

it couldn't be a sin.

"Watch and pray that you may not

enter into temptation.

The spirit indeed is willing,

but the flesh is weak."

And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

Have not saints lips

and holy palmers too?

Ay, pilgrim, lips that

they must use in prayer.

O then, dear saint,

let lips do what hands do.

Saints do not move,

though grant for prayers' sake.

Then move not while

my prayer's effect I take.

Thus far from my lips, by yours,

my sin is purged.

Then have my lips the sin

that they have took.

Sin from thy lips?

O trespass sweetly urged.

Give me my sin again.

Bravo, bravo!

You kiss by the book.

What kind of girl likes

seeing her boyfriend

get it on with other dudes?

- Me.

- You don't count, freak.

I want to run an idea past you.

I think we should sleep together.

- Sleep together?

- Have sex.

F***.

My virginity, your confusion.
