But I'm a Cheerleader Page #5
- Thanks.
- I like that.
- Manly is good.
- I feel like the aggressor.
That's nice.
Yeah.
You will all
be graded in each category,
and those of you who pass,
will move on to step five,
simulated sexual lifestyle.
And those of you who fail,
will be sent home.
Boys with Mike.
Girls with me.
# Her melody #
# Wants her desperately #
# Cry lonely tears #
# 'Cause she's so far from here #
# She's a ray of sunshine #
# My only ray of sunshine #
# Her yellow hair #
# Her fiery stare #
# But nothing's right #
# 'Cause she's not here tonight #
# She's a ray of sunshine #
# My only ray of sunshine #
# I know that I'm going nowhere #
# I wish that she'd
come back to me #
# She's all I need #
# She's all I need #
# All I need to end my misery... #
Mike:
Essay topic:
My root,and how it prevented me
from heterosexual loving.
# She's a ray of sunshine #
# My only ray of sunshine. #
Now, in order
to successfully navigate
the treacherous sea
of temptation,
one must first enter a life
out of homosexuality.
I've never seen
such a determined group.
And I am passing all...
but one of you.
- Andre.
- Hmm?
You may pack your bags.
Now there's cake in the kitchen.
You'll wanna rest up
for the simulation.
Michael, congratulations.
I just wasn't meant
to be butch.
I'm a sissy.
No.
You should be proud
of who you are.
Hello.
I mean you're more
than just a sissy.
You're nice and clean,
and smart and sexy,
and firm and luscious, and...
Excuse me.
The last thing
I need right now
is some fruit
who just proved he's straight
telling my ass how sexy I am.
Congratulations, liars!
You know who you are,
and you know who you want.
Ain't nobody gonna change that.
Sh*t!
# Breathe into my hands #
# Or cup them like a glass
to drink from #
# Are you still,
still breathing? #
# Are you still breathing? #
# Are you still,
still breathing? #
# Are you still breathing #
# Breathe into my hands #
# Or cup them like a glass
to drink from... #
Graham?
I've never felt that way before.
Except...
Except for what?
- Don't laugh, okay?
- I won't.
Except for when
I was cheerleading.
- Really?
- I'm serious.
It sounds stupid to you,
but I really love it.
Cheerleading's the one thing
that's kept me happy.
It's exhilarating.
I would love to see you cheer.
- Don't make fun of me.
- No, I'm not.
Did you ever think
maybe I'm just jealous
that you love something?
# Or cup them like a glass
to drink from. #
Get out of bed!
You hormonal hussy.
I can't believe you did this.
You were suppose to be
the role model.
Now get up right now!
What did I do?
Hilary:
A little sleep-over with Graham.
(scoffs)
Get dressed right now!
Mary:
You of course understand
what your little adventure
has cost you.
You will be removed from the program,
and the premises at once.
I understand.
And of course your parents
have made it very clear
that you are just not
welcome home any more.
So you will be left
to your own devices.
I mean there may be one thing
that you can do,
where we can workout
some kind of a deal.
I'll let you stay,
and graduate with the rest
your class,
but you must do me
one favor in return.
Partner in simulation
with Rock.
Rock?
I don't think that'll work.
(dance music playing)
Oh, for Pete's sake!
(singing)
# Wham bam, thank you, ma'am. #
Rock, turn it off.
We've lost Megan.
She just wasn't
strong enough.
But you still have a chance
to save yourself.
It's your choice.
You can run off with Megan
and turn into a raging bull-dyke
or you can do the simulation
and graduate,
and lead a normal life.
There is no choice.
You came here to graduate,
and that is exactly
what you are going to do.
You understand me,
young lady?
This is exactly
why your mother left.
Are you ready to lose
your father?
Then it's settled.
Graham will partner with Rock
in simulation.
Megan, you're out.
Skedaddle.
(softly)
I'm sorry.
Man:
What do you want?
I need to talk
to Lloyd and Larry.
But you're from True Directions.
- Yeah.
- (window shuts)
Hey, not anymore.
All right, kid,
get in here.
Come on, move your tush.
I can't go back.
I thought you could teach me
how to be a lesbian,
what they wear,
where they live.
You know.
Megan, we can't
help you with that.
There's not just one way
to be a lesbian.
You just have to continue
to be who you are.
- Dolph?
- Megan.
Thank you so much for saving me
from that place.
What are you doing here?
I live here.
Or at least until I find a way
to make it on my own.
It's way better than TD.
We all get our own rooms
and curfew is midnight.
But we have to share bathrooms.
Not at the same time,
of course.
Of course.
Come on,
it's going to be okay.
No it won't.
She was supposed to leave with me
and she didn't.
Whoa, slow down, who?
Graham.
I knew it.
She was into you
from the start.
Then why didn't she
come with me?
Maybe she was scared.
Like I'm not?
Believe me,
you're better off here.
Mary:
Graham?
Pay attention.
Action, Rock.
Now lean in and kiss her.
Nice, Rock.
Now, feel how soft
and vulnerable she is.
Isn't it wonderful?
Now, Graham,
let him take the lead.
A little tongue...
He loves you.
He wants to be with you.
The way God intended.
To be inside you.
His love muscle thrusting.
(both scoff)
Cut.
Megan, we thought that Dolph
should take you out this week,
to celebrate your
new freedom.
- How would that be?
- Sure.
So, Megan...
what do you want
to do now?
Larry, Megan just made
a very traumatic decision
- and she's moving through that process.
- I thought that...
we could check out
some schools in the city,
- and I could...
- She's not ready...
Sweetie.
I'm just asking
a simple question.
- I'm not interrogating her.
- You are moving into that
- aggressive space again.
- Can't I even ask a question around here?
Now I feel you moving
into your victim stance.
I was not attacking,
I was verbalizing.
I just feel like you don't
value my opinion anymore.
Seems like nothing I do
pleases you.
I feel inadequate.
I love my Larry bear.
- Lloyd's sorry.
- Larry bear's sorry, too.
Okay then.
Dinner's ready.
Very good.
Okay, who's next?
Okay, now remember
that sex is fun.
We're making love.
There's nothing dirty
about it.
Sex is beautiful when it's
between a man and a woman.
Mom?
Okay,
now from this position,
the woman will
spread her legs,
opening like a flower.
That's wonderful Graham.
Now at this point,
the man will insert himself
into the woman.
Yes, that's...
Yes. Rock that's it.
Mrs. Brown?
What is it, Joel?
- What about foreplay?
- Foreplay is for sissies.
Real men go in,
unload and pull out.
Mom!
We could dance
if you want to.
You go ahead.
I think I need to go get some air.
I miss her.
She's scared that maybe
she's making the wrong choice.
But it's her wrong
choice to make.
