Freak Show Page #7
Surely, I have reached nirvana.
This is heaven on earth
and I haven't
even been crowned yet.
So, let's not let
four quarters of football
stand between me and my tiara
and just cut
to the end of the game.
Let's go, Griffin.
Let's go!
Let's go, Griffin.
Let's go!
There are 15 seconds
left to play
and we're down by three.
The fate of the entire universe
rests on Flip's broad shoulders.
Touchdown!
Oh, the Griffins scores
and with that
the Griffins win, 27
Huskies, 24.
I didn't see the touchdown.
I was looking at Flip.
Is he okay?
Those scouts.
His father.
This game..
He'll be okay.
It meant everything to him.
And just like that,
with one thumbs up
Flip Kelly was gone
and Mark Kelly
could paint the world
however he saw it.
I wanna congratulate
our Griffins!
And especially
Bo-Bo Peterson.
Stand up, Bo-Bo.
On a spectacular
game-winning touchdown.
And our thoughts
and prayers go out
to Flip Kelly
and hope that tonight's
unfortunate injury won't..
Let's just keep him
in our thoughts.
But now, it's time to give
our homecoming queen
nominees their chance
to say something before
the ballots are cast
and a winner is crowned.
First up, Lynnette Franz.
- Here, my dear.
- Thank you.
Hi, everyone.
How you doin'?
Okay..
Principal Onnigan, faculty
friends, cheer squad, God Squad
alumni and lunch ladies!
Let's hear it for the real girl!
Me! Yay!
So... first reason
you should vote for me..
And, uh..
I kinda can't believe
that I have
to remind you all this
but apparently I do.
Homecoming queens..
Hmm..
Yeah, they're... they're,
they're girls, y'all!
You can't just decide
what's right and wrong
based on the cast
of "Glee."
- Hashtag quotable.
- We love Lynette!
Second reason
you should vote for me.
My rival..
And I'm not even going
to dirty my lips
to say his name.
Don't do it.
He seems to only be
interested in one thing
and that's turning this school
into some kind of tranny bar.
All gays are going to hell.
- Yup.
- And that's not me.
It's not me saying that.
That's..
That's Leviticus.
That's right, yeah, girl.
Father son
and Holy Ghost
Who's the queen
Christ loves the most?
Lynette Lynette
Lynette
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
You know, I've been
waiting for this day
I'm sure you all have too.
That was enlightening.
And our next contestant..
Billy Bloom.
Thank you, Lynnette, for that
most gracious set-up.
Now..
My appearance tonight
might come as a shock
to many of you.
Sure, I could have worn
a real show-stopper
of an outfit
and talked smack about Lynnette
and reminded you all
how you tried to kill me
and maybe you could vote for me
to try and clear your conscience
but instead, I stand before you.
And I'm stripped
of all my usual
bells and whistles.
Just a clean-scrubbed face.
To show you that..
To show you that I'm
I'm not so different from you
despite your protestations
despite mine.
You can call me a freak.
Okay.
I am what I am.
You're all freaks too, I mean..
Look at you.
Isn't that what being
a teenager is all about?
I think that
we're all pretty worried
that we're not gonna fit in.
That if people
found out the real us
they would recoil
in horror.
That they'd all hate us.
And we all carry around
some kind of secret shame.
We've each got a flag to fly.
Just some of us
are flying them
on the inside.
So, I am asking you
to look inside
that secret place
where your freak flag flies
and raise it up..
Loud..
And proud.
Look, I know I have not
been here for very long
but I am asking
for a tradition
to take place now.
A tradition of inclusion.
Of acceptance.
Of tolerance.
Love who you're gonna love.
Follow whatever path
it is that makes you
be the person that you are.
I... I've got one thing
to ask tonight
when you cast your ballot.
Vote for me.
You're voting for the freak
in all of us.
You're voting
for the freak
but you're voting for..
The freak in each
and every one of you.
That's all.
Yay! Billy!
And now, students
of Grant Academy
it's time to get out
your smart phones
and vote.
Well, the votes
have been tabulated
and you've all
made your feelings
abundantly clear.
Here she is,
ladies and gentlemen.
Your new homecoming queen
Lynnette Franz!
Thank you.
Thank you.
The crowd
who just moments ago
were on my side
What are you still doing
on stage, freak?
Get lost.
Sesame, do you always
have to be such a b*tch?
Yeah.
I think I do!
Billy.
but you got my heart.
Good job.
Thank you.
Thank you so..
I know, stop.
Thank you.
God wins!
God wins!
For me, it was
never actually
about being the queen.
I was worthy.
And I did.
And what to my
wondering eyes
should appear..
Billy.
But the man who I thought
had abandoned me.
The man who came
to tonight's barbecue
even though he thought
his little boy
was gonna give
a speech in a dress.
The man that is..
Daddy?
I'm here.
I'm queer.
I'll get used to it.
- I lost.
- Are you kidding me?
That was the biggest win
I've ever seen.
Look at me.
I am so proud of you.
Thank you.
Mm.
Come on, son.
Let's go home.
Yes, sir.
You know I could have
dodged that tackle
the other night, right?
But I realized that
I found something
more important than
than pleasing my dad.
More important than football.
Me.
discovered that
without you.
I'm so sorry I stopped
being your friend.
It's okay.
You were just being you.
Muv was just being Muv.
How about I do me
and you do you?
And maybe one day we can try
the other way around.
Deal?
Nice try.
I need your secrets
From your past
It's like
your stitches
Are pulled apart
Your information
Is high demand
And all that content
Is like
grains of sand
As it diffuses
Through those cracks
It's in the air now
There's no
turning back
And those
little victims
That no one sees
Need information
That your body bleeds
I need to know
you're thinking of me
I need to know
you're there
I need
the information now
I got to know
that you care
Give me something
that I can work with
Deliver me
from the dark
Give me something
that I can count on
Right now
it seems so far
You're complicated
And hard to read
Your information
Is all I need
But when
those stitches
Are pulled apart
All that content
Well it gets so dark
It becomes toxic
And hard to breathe
You can't escape it
And it gets extreme
I need to know
you're thinking of me
I need to know
you're there
I need
the information now
I got to know
you care
Give me something
that I can work with
Deliver me
from the dark
Give me someone
that I can count on
Right now
you seem so far
Give me something
that I can work with
