But I'm a Cheerleader Page #4
find about this.
We haven't had fun in forever.
Come on.
We could use a little fun.
- What if we get caught?
- Were not gonna get caught.
If you're not coming with us,
at least don't rat on us.
Let's go.
Come on. Hurry up.
Go, go, go.
Oh we have a nice big group tonight.
Get in.
- Okay, fasten your seatbelts.
- Wait.
Oh. We have one more.
- Well it's about f***ing time.
- I can't believe I'm doing this.
Hi. I'm Lloyd Morgan-Gordon.
This is Larry Morgan-Gordon.
Glad to have you with us.
You'll need one of these.
It may not be an exact match, but...
First time you've all been AWOL?
Larry and Lloyd are ex, ex-gays.
From True Directions?
We were among Mary's ranks
before we defected.
We're just trying to provide you all
with a balanced perspective,
to see that there are options.
In the end it's up to you
whether choose to live a...
lie.
Whether you want
to be who you are
or keep it hidden,
is really more what we're about.
So you run like,
the underground homo railroad?
(dance music playing)
Come on, girls.
You didn't tell me you were
taking me to a gay bar.
Where else would we go?
- I'm gonna get you a drink.
- I don't drink.
I refuse to accept a false
solution to my problem.
I resist temptation
and seek to solve my problem.
- I refuse to accept a false...
- What are you doing?
- My interventions.
- You know you don't have to do that.
Just be yourself.
# Baby #
# You're making me want you... #
Hi. Would you like to dance?
- Sure she does.
- No, sorry. I can't.
That's okay.
Just thought I'd ask.
No problem.
Too good for one dance?
You can't dance with a girl
for a second? Go ahead.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Sorry.
I don't dance much.
That's okay.
# Making me care,
do doo doo #
# Do doo, doo, doo... #
# Baby... #
# You're making me want you #
# Want you #
# And baby... #
# You're making me love you #
- # Love you #
- # We're in the city, city #
# You're making me love you #
# We're in the city, city #
# Makin' me love you... #
Megan, it's not what you think.
That's why we came here, right?
So you could be yourself.
- I don't like Sinead that way.
- Which way is that, clothed?
We weren't doing anything.
When you were going like this,
you weren't doing anything?
No I wasn't...
I wasn't doing that.
It doesn't matter.
- Why are you freaking out?
- It's none of my business.
Do what you want.
You want me to do what I want?
- I could care less.
- What I really want?
Screw you.
I'm not supposed to like you.
But?
I wanna do that again.
(cheering, music plays)
What are you looking at?
Ah! Mary's coming!
- Good night.
- Good night.
# Here I go falling down
down, down #
# My mind is a blank #
# My head is spinning
around and around #
# As I go deep into
the funnel of love #
# It's such a crazy,
crazy feeling #
# I get weak in the knees... #
Come on,
throw out the first thing
that comes to your head.
Okay, just think.
I already did.
Mine is just as good
as anybody else's.
I'm a heterosexual.
Not yet, honey.
You're almost there.
And don't speak out of turn.
No, I know, I've never been gay.
Jan remember,
you were molested.
Just take a look at yourself.
Everybody thinks I'm this big dyke
because I wear baggy pants,
and play softball,
and I'm not as pretty as other girls,
but that doesn't make me gay.
I like guys.
I can't help it.
I want a big fat wiener up my...
Amen, sister.
(sniffs)
I quit.
Who in the hell
is she trying to fool?
Hey, Jan.
Jan.
Group.
I have found something
very disturbing this morning.
I would like to know
who has been sneaking out,
with those smut peddling
recruiters?
I want names.
I want to know who is involved.
Fine then. Graham?
What do you have to say
for yourself?
Why are you looking at me?
Because I found these
under your bed.
Do you have anything
you'd like to confess?
I didn't sneak out.
But you know who did.
No, I don't, but um...
I did realize something
about myself last night,
that I was too scared
to admit until now.
Out with it.
Come on, out with it.
I have a crush.
On Joel.
It was the first time I really
felt something for a guy.
And it just... it really proved
to me the treatment's working.
Oh, Graham.
Now, let this show you
what determination has yielded.
Fruit.
Now I want you all
to look at Graham's strength,
and how she worked her way
through this five-step program.
And by the way, I am very
disappointed in the rest of you.
And I have scheduled a meeting
with each of your parents.
If you can't listen to me,
then perhaps you'll listen to them.
Joel:
No, I didn't goto the Cocksucker.
I've never been to the Cocksucker.
I won't.
My cocksucking days are over.
I am normal.
Mom, Dad, you have to believe me,
I swear I didn't go anywhere.
You're not gonna tell
your parents are you?
(chimes)
Now, honey,
your mom and I both know
that you didn't have
anything to do with that...
- that...
- Field trip to the Cocksucker.
- Field trip to the Co...
but... if you had gone...
You have to know
that you would be on your own.
What's that supposed to mean?
Well you can't come home.
We can't allow you to live
an unhealthy lifestyle under our roof.
So, Megan, if that
is what you choose,
you're choosing to cut us
out of your life.
Well, great. Great.
Now, what did you
want to tell us?
Just that you don't have
anything worry about.
I've been missing Jared a lot,
and can't wait to see him again.
Oh, Megan. That's wonderful.
You just keep up
the good work,
and we'll be back
to see you graduate.
Dad:
You'll be homebefore you know it.
Bye-bye, sweetie.
- You be a good girl.
- Goodbye, dear.
Hmph!
(answering machine)
This is Larry and Lloyd Morgan-Gordon.
Leave us a message.
(beep)
I know you're there.
Now pick it up.
Listen to me,
you little inverts.
Okay, you want to play
rough with my kids,
then I can play rough with you.
- Time's up.
- Yes, thank you.
We've got a little situation
to deal with.
(Chanting)
Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!
Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!
Mary:
You have other options.
Don't you want to be normal?
Hey, I know you.
I saw you last night.
Hey!
Your daddy know you're a f*ggot?
Good shot, Graham.
What are you doing?
What if he saw us kissing?
What do you want me to do?
We're not queer!
We're not going anywhere!
We are here! We're not queer!
We're not going anywhere!
That's it. If you don't retreat,
we're coming out.
(screaming)
Is this what you teach now, Mary?
Throw stones from glass houses?
You're gonna have a lot
It's part of the process, Lloyd.
It's not easy for them.
- Excuse me
- Oh, thanks.
You are so good
at being straight.
Wow. You have really
big muscles.
I keep forgetting about
all these little things.
Get her cake.
Get her the cake.
Can I rub them?
Got a little cake right there.
That's good.
Oh. Yeah.
Mm-mm.
You're really manly.
