Freak Show Page #6
um, a strict
seven and a half.
They've been waiting a long time
for someone like you
to come along
and they are ready
to lend their support.
I know you won't
let them down, Billy.
Students of Grant Academy
for too long
you have suffered in silence.
I am like you.
For too long, I thought
being on the outside
meant having no voice.
I accepted the moldings
and manipulations
that were pushed upon me
and was still
shamed into silence.
No more. No more!
No more. No more!
All that changes
from this moment on.
I know
that without hope,
you cannot live.
And without
a bit of glamour,
you can't live well.
We are important.
And we owe it
to the kids
that come after
the little boys and girls
with the wrong haircut
or wrong accent
or wrong curric...
Extra-curricular hobbies
to try and push ourselves
into the light.
Give them the hope of seeing
a boy nominated
for homecoming queen.
This is Felicia Watts
back at Ulysses
S. Grant Academy
where it's day five of
"Academy Under Siege."
What's at stake?
One girl's dream
and every girl's rights
and privileges.
With me is
homecoming queen nominee
Lynnette Franz.
Lynnette, can you
give us an update?
Can I ever!
Well..
So, I was supposed to be
the only candidate
running this year.
That's been the plan
since the seventh grade.
But then, this
sexually confused weirdo
announced that he was running.
Now, I don't know, maybe
maybe he doesn't realize
he's not a girl. Whatever.
He doesn't stand
a chance of winning
Everybody?
Lynnette, look at
The support for Grant Academy's
Gender Obliviator is palpable.
With all due respect, Felicia
this is a simple case of..
Decency versus depravity.
Tradition versus perdition.
And by the end of this election
I believe.. No.
I know that this school
and this nation
will come to its senses
and put a real queen
in charge of things
around here.
So, you don't think
Billy Bloom has a chance
of taking home the tiara?
A homosexual
representing our school?
I'd laugh if he wasn't
being so disrespectful.
I mean, it's like he's peeing
on the flag or something.
Look, he just wants attention
like all gays do, you know?
I do not.
Well, so, they can further
their gay agenda.
And that is
the God's honest truth.
by running for homecoming queen
is destroying
the way of life
here at the academy.
Let's make America great again!
Bye, Felicia.
Disgruntled, delusional..
But determined
homecoming queen candidate
Lynnette Franz.
And I am sure we have not heard
the last of her.
And after me, say
"Let Billy Bloom!"
One, two, three..
- Let Billy Bloom.
- Let Billy Bloom.
Louder.
Come on.
- Let Billy Bloom.
- One more time.
- Let Billy Bloom.
- Let Billy Bloom.
Let Billy Bloom!
I love the shadow people!
They're like little
homecoming elves.
Oh. Yes! There ain't no
stopping us now, Billy.
Alright, if we can get
one A-lister on our side
I think we can turn this
whole election around.
Really, I do.
- What about Flip?
- Next.
- Bo-Bo Peterson?
- Not gonna happen.
No, I think we can
make it happen.
I mean, honestly,
She broke up with him.
She broke his heart,
banged his brother.
I love it.
- Vote Lynette.
- Vote for me.
- Vote for Lynette.
- Vote for Lynette.
Vote for me.
Bo-Bo, I am so sorry
to hear about you and Lynnette
but have you
given any thought
to the other candidate
running for homecoming queen?
I ain't voting for that ho!
I'd just as soon vote
for a butt worm.
Well, naturally, I am flattered.
You got my vote.
Just make sure
you beat her.
Welcome to Team Bloom!
So, Bib, here's the deal.
When I give the signal
at the pep rally
you're gonna put
this button on your shirt.
What's the "F" for,
"Fag?"
No, it's for freak, you freak.
Or should I call you Kid Krush?
Okay, look, butt lick
I don't know how you
found out about In Twink
but if you don't
shut up about it,
I'll beat you so hard
you're gonna miss
that coma, you got it?
It's not so much did I get it
but this young,
budding Tarantino did.
Wait.
Where did she come from?
Only the shadows know.
Now, do we have your support
or do you want
that last little
hate crime rant
to go viral?
- Oh, no. Not again.
- What is it?
- Oh, it's nothing.
- No, no, no. Let me see.
"Dear Billy,
you are fierce."
Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, keep going.
Yadda, yadda, yadda..
"You make me sick.
"You're ruining everything.
"I'm going to tie you up
and f*** you
till you love me,
f*ggot."
Chill out, all I'm trying to do
is make this world
a little more pretty.
I know, right?
A stalker means
you're officially famous
which is good news.
I'm going to have to
get you a security detail.
Yeah, I'm feeling good about..
Yeah, I'll be
right back, alright?
- Hey.
- Hey.
I just wanted to say
good luck with the whole
homecoming queen thing.
Thank you.
And you, too.
With the big match,
I... I mean.
Not that...
The homecoming queen.
Too many queens
would spoil the broth.
- You're funny.
- You're Flip.
I miss hanging out
with you, Billy.
- Aren't you done yet?
- Yeah, just..
Just, uh, just give us a second.
It's been a second.
Yeah, just give us a minute!
I'm taking Sesame to the dance.
You know they're fake, right?
Billy, I think I'd know.
Oh, you sweet, innocent boy.
Go. Go on.
It's been a minute.
Hey, Billy, how's it going?
I've had better days.
I've got to sort out
all this stuff.
- Do you want a ride?
- With you?
I know I've been a dick,
but I wanna
make things right.
Yeah. Sure.
Thank you.
Get off. Get off.
Bernie, what the f***..
You don't mean that.
Please don't tell anyone.
Don't tell anyone!
Ladies and gentlemen,
hello, and welcome
to the Ulysses
S. Grant Academy
homecoming game pre-show.
And I... and I know
to see this year's nominees
I present the parade of floats
made by your
homecoming queen
candidates.
First up, Miss Lynnette Franz!
Oh, come on.
They want to be wowed!
Oh oh oh oh
You better run
better..
I mean, this is the float
that you've been planning
since the seventh grade?
This float was meant
to be her legacy.
It should have been
the ultimate expression
of who she was,
and the culmination
of all her hopes
and dreams and heartfelt
artistic yearnings!
Luckily, the crowd
didn't have too long
to dwell on this because..
And now, ladies and gentlemen
I present our second candidate.
Ah ah
Candy
She's sweet like
Candy in my veins
Baby
I'm dying for
Another taste
And every night
my mind is
Running around her
Then it's
getting louder
And louder
Baby you're like
lightning in a bottle
I can't let you go
now that I got it
All I need is
To be struck
By your electric
Love
Baby you're
electric love
