- Psych!

- Give up!

- It's gonna be like that?

- Yeah, it is.

- Let's go.

- All right, ready?

- Come on.

- You gonna go for it or what?

Go for it.

- Oh!

What?

- I don't know.

- Two out of two?

Rematch?

- Maybe.

- Let's go.

- Hell yeah.

- Hey, Jude.

- Good game, man.

Seriously, good game.

What's up, guys?

- Yeah, you too.

- Jude.

- How you doing?

- Doing good.

- Good, see ya.

- Good.

- Look who it is.

- It's my favorite pledge.

Looking good out there, Ryan.

- Thank you.

- Wanna play?

- Yeah.

- Sure.

- Good morning, my

brothers and sisters.

I want to welcome you

all to the house of god.

And everyone is

welcome, even sinners.

But today let's get real.

I am saddened to

the core of my soul,

as I believe that

you are as well.

- Where are you taking me?

- You'll see.

- Because

a sinner who is not saved

cannot reform,

and they will sadly

suffer the consequences

of the wrath of god.

- I love this.

Where'd you find this place?

- The frat guys come

up here sometimes,

but I've always thought

it's just really pretty, so.

- This is awesome.

I haven't been on one of these

things since I was a kid.

- Cool, right?

- Yeah.

You know how to

turn this thing on?

- Maybe.

I think it's just

missing a couple parts,

but nothing I can't fix.

Hey, think fast!

- We are living in a very

rapidly changing time,

a time that promotes

things like equality.

They teach our innocent children

that they can love

whomever they want to love,

even someone of

the opposite sex.

Can I get an amen on that?

- Amen.

- These values break

the moral compass

that our children

were born with.

This is their birthright.

- Amen.

- And I would like

to clarify something.

Our god that tells us,

"thou shalt not kill,"

is the same god that says,

"mankind shall not

lie with womankind."

You don't get to just

pick what you please.

It's all or nothing

with the lord.

So really, if you say

it's okay to be gay,

you're saying it's okay to kill.

Do you think god

wants us to kill?

Of course not.

That is how I see it.

And that is how it

is reflected to us

in the words of our holy Bible.

- Amen.

- And for that, we praise god.

- Amen.

- I'd like you all to stand

and let's raise our

voices in praise.

You know, some years ago,

they hid behind closed doors,

as they should have,

as they should still,

but now it's okay to let

them do it openly, brazenly,

at their public parades,

and even in our streets.

Now they mock us.

They live in sin, and

they live very openly.

They live brazenly.

They live without remorse.

You see this.

They're out there

marching for equality.

Do you think that's right?

I don't think so.

Can you just imagine,

try to put your mind,

if we were living in

a time when murderers

demanded they be given

protection and civil rights

instead of punishment

for their crimes.

Why, you would just gasp

in amazement, wouldn't you?

Yet, you embrace the notion

that because someone

engages in sex

with a person of

the opposite gender

that they deserve the

same human rights?

I don't think so.

That's not god's intention.

Because the truth is clear.

Men and women are

equal in god's eyes,

but should live separately

in same-sex unions,

where the most sacred

of brotherly and

sisterly love can bloom,

as is his design.

They will work together

in humble donation

during the breeding season,

so new sons and daughters

can be brought forth

to carry god's holy and very

beautiful and blessed message.

We shall not subject ourselves

to the breeding

tendencies of animals

who show no restraint.

I know that many of you are

troubled by these events

that we have been going

through as a community,

as am I.

We are going to pray for

these sinners, right?

That's what we're gonna do,

because we believe in god.

- Forgive me reverend,

for I have sinned.

It's been two weeks

since my last confession.

- God blesses you on this day,

and forgives those that

ask his forgiveness.

Proceed, my child.

- I'll get you!

- Stop it!

- I've been having

impure thoughts.

I can't make the

thoughts go away.

I don't know if I want to.

- Giving in to your physical

desires is a selfish act,

and to act on that

lust is sinful.

- Yes, reverend.

- Does anyone know what

this word means, hetero?

Yes, Jodie?

- Hetero is short

for heterosexual.

Means when a person is attracted

to people of the opposite sex.

- Yes.

Does anyone in this class

know any heterosexuals?

No?

Well, what if I told

you there is one

right here in this classroom?

Right here with us today,

and here he is.

Would you believe the world's

most famous playwright,

William Shakespeare,

was actually a heterosexual?

And he wrote his most famous

play, Romeo and Julio,

for his secret lover, the

duchess of Southampton.

This is a copy of

Romeo and Juliet.

- Yes?

- What does that

mean, Mr. Thompson?

- Well, that means Julio

will be played by a girl.

I know, I know,

it's a big change,

but it is our job as artists

to not only entertain,

but to also enlighten.

Now I hope the girls here

will jump at the opportunity

to play one of the juiciest

roles ever written...

- oh my god, that's so exciting!

- Okay, now, auditions

are next week.

Everyone must prepare something.

- I'm so excited, aren't you?

- I guess so.

- You'd make a great Romeo.

- You think so?

- Yeah, and maybe

if I got Juliet,

we could practice

our lines together?

- That'd be really cool.

- Seriously?

Ew.

Romeo and Juliet?

That's so queer.

What are you Emily,

some kind of 'Ro?

- What, no.

- Why don't you go ahead

and kiss him, Emily?

- Stop.

- Kiss him, kiss him!

- 'Ro, 'Ro!

- 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro,

'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro,

'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro,

'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro,

'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro,

'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro!

- Hey, hey, hey,

what's going on here?

What's happening here, Emily?

I'm talking to you.

Who started this?

- Nobody.

- Nobody?

And you, what about you?

Where are you supposed to be?

- Language.

- Then get to it.

Let's go.

How about you, where

are you supposed to be?

- Math.

- Well, get there.

Come on.

- 'Ro, 'Ro,

'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro,

'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro, 'Ro!

- Jeez.

Oh, you scared me.

What's going on?

- What's going on?

What's going on?

I feel like I should be

the one asking you that.

- I'm not a mind

reader, Kel, come on.

- You said you couldn't

hang out tonight

because you had to study.

- Okay, what is

this really about?

- I don't know.

I just, I miss you, you know?

I feel like I never

get to see you anymore.

- You're always doing

your sorority girl thing,

and homecoming campaign.

I'm sorry if I make

you feel neglected.

I'm really not trying to.

- No, no.

You don't make me

feel neglected.

- Okay, good.

- I just feel like...

I don't know.

I miss you.

- Go ahead, answer it, okay?

I know that you want to.

- Stop it.

- It's fine.
