My first float. Nice.

Now do you trust me?

A little.

Good then lets take it up a notch.

AHA! I gotcha.

Now. I got you. You dirty pirate.

Is there anything else to do here

besides swim in the water?

You ain't got no toys in your house?

My daughter's toys, the room you're

sleeping in, if you look in the chest.

So where's your daughter?

She's dead.

But they will be girl toys. We're not

supposed to pay with those.

A toy is a toy. Just use your

imagination.

I used to play with my sister's toys

all the time.

For real?

Yep. But what I want to know is,

have you been on a rocket ship?

What?

This!

Are you sure about this?

Yeah, trust me.

One... two...

Wait.

What?

Why are we doing this?

It's safe. You going to lighthouse

point right? This is necessary.

We're not moving until we go down.

See you below.

What's going on?

You're missing all the fun.

Nothing.

Are you OK?

Yes. Fine. Allergies.

Are you sure?

I want to go somewhere.

You really scared of dying alone?

What?

On the cliff you said you were

afraid of dying alone.

Yeah... I want to be surrounded by the

ones I love and be loved. Who isn't?

Listen to this.

When you die your heart stops,

but your brain

keeps working for five minutes.

And in those moments you

dream for five minutes, but...

there's no sense of time in the dream

world so that dream

lasts forever and ever.

This is why I paint... gives me

something beautiful to think about.

I like you.

Why?

You carry a lot.

I want to go inside. It's boring,

and I'm getting bit.

Just give it a few more minutes.

You'll love it, trust me.

It's the coolest thing.

He's seen a sunset before.

Not like this. Just give it thirty

seconds.

Keep watching.

Keep watching...

Keep watching...

Keep watching...

Keep watching.

Wow.

Cool. You were right.

You alright in there?

Yes. I really needed to do this.

The faucet at my place is calcified.

There is a water pump down the road

from your house.

Oh.

I guess the day got away from us.

I'll take you to lighthouse tomorrow

or Sunday.

I'd appreciate that.

Youre just so odd.

Gee thanks.

I didn't mean it in that way.

I meant you're strange.

Different.

I like it.

And what are you,

the perfect Bahamian boy?

I'm far from it. Far.

Is something wrong?

No. There's nothing wrong.

Can I sleep here tonight?

Can you just hold me?

Look, just so you know I never move

this fast...

and we just hanging out, eh?

Slut.

You scared?

No. Never scared.

You?

I am a little.

There's no need.

I'm open... you can do

whatever you want.

Whatever?

Whatever.

I want to dance.

Ain't no music, man.

Are you nervous?

I was told once that dancing

is not a skill, but a feeling.

You can feel right?

Then just feel it.

It's okay, keep going.

- Feel that?

- Yeah.

The rest is easy.

Morning.

Hey you.

Ready to go to Lighthouse Point?

Yeah.

Who's there?

It's us Romeo.

One second. I'm getting dressed.

(whispering)

Get out!

What?

Get the f*** out. Hurry.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

We were missing you, and

I had a few days off work so we came.

Mom I've been gone two days.

Look who's here.

What's wrong?

Nothing I'm just a little surprised.

Mum is there a problem?

I know what you're doing. I've checked

up. I called here yesterday and no one

knew where you were all day... not

even your band members.

So I thought it was time for an

intervention.

I'm not doing any drugs!

Something is wrong.

What is the problem?

You really want to know

what my problem is?

Yes.

You don't.

I don't need this sh*t.

Thought I'd find you here, man.

Mo, what's up man?

Yeah man, save it!

You string everyone along with your

empty promises and you don't deliver.

Everyone was waiting on you and you

didn't even show up.

We believed in this band because you

made us believe.

- Mo this really...

- Remember this. We good.

We damn good.

We killed it without you.

What you trying to say man?

Think about it.

It ain't rocket science.

Goddammit!

Daddy, watch your hand.

What?

Your hand. Only girls

hold their hands like that.

Boy you don't know what

you're talking about.

So, what brings you to

Eleuthera at this point?

Was missing my wife.

Does that happen often?

You missing your wife?

Yes.

She's my wife.

I guess I better put Omar to bed.

Is there a baby-sitter coming tonight

for when we go to the fish fry?

- Rev. Ritchie said he would...

- I can't do it.

I have to do some work at church.

How are we supposed to find

a sitter on such short notice?

OK. Whatever.

Come on Cap'n, let's go to bed.

Lena put your hair back up.

You don't have to stay, you know.

My family is alive. I'm not like you.

Why were you crying that night?

Allergies.

(music plays)

Hello Romeo?

Hey Lena, How you doing? I've been

meaning to come by.

- Oh, yeah, really?

- Yes.

You know Mum came into town.

No I didn't know.

I'm sorry, Lena.

This my girlfriend, Lonnette.

This is Lena, her and my mom grew up

together like sisters.

So where's Ralph?

He's back at the house taking care of

Omar, we could not find a sitter.

Lena's here for church business.

That's right. I'm collecting

signatures to take to to Parliament.

Gotta get this government to do

something. Having a town hall meeting.

Hope you can come.

We could use your support.

Most definitely.

And you mister?

Sure.

See you tomorrow night.

Goodnight.

You ready to go...

You said you were coming...

Hey man...

Back up man.

You can't hear?

Cool off.

Come around here again or look at him

like you have been lookin' at him and

you will know.

C'mon Lonnette

What do you want from us?

I've tried...

I've tried everything I could do

and I can't change who I am.

Is it really my fault?

What's your fault son?

What's your fault?

Me.

It's not your fault. You are loved.

Nobody should ever make you

feel ashamed for who you are.

You are loved.

You are loved, son.

Hello.

Hello?

Jonny... Jonny is that you?

I know that all of you guys have been

watching the news lately and have seen

how Gay rights have become an issue

for us once again in the Bahamas. So

what we are doing at the Save the

Bahamas Coalition is educating people

on the threat this homosexual spirit

has on this land. They say it's

discrimination but it's not. It's us

that they are being shut out one

by one. They're adopting your kids,

using children for disgusting acts

that we all know about but turn

a blind eye to. Moving onto

this beautiful land to degrade

it with immorality... We've been

blessed with a good economy, so far.

But God is a vengeful

and wrathful God. And we cannot afford

to do anything to upset him.

So what we are doing is putting a

collection of signatures to take to

Parliament, to let the Prime Minister

know that we don't stand for gay

rights and we don't stand for gay

tourism.

They say they are discriminated,

homosexuals, like our forefathers

and they should be liberated.

But homosexuality is a choice.
