Did you wash your hands?

- I don't know.

- Good answer?

Emily, did you tell your mom

you're trying out

for the school play?

- The school play?

What happened to

the football team?

- I got cut.

- After I paid

for all that coaching?

- I'm sorry, mom.

I'm not that coordinated.

- So, what's the play?

- Romeo and Juliet.

I'm trying out for Juliet.

- Well, that's

wonderful, isn't it?

- That's terrific.

- Mr. Thompson

rewrote it for girls.

Did you know that Shakespeare

wrote it for his secret lover,

the duchess of Southampton?

- Wait.

Wait, what role did you say

you were trying out for?

- Juliet.

- And who's playing Romeo?

- Hopefully Ian Santilli.

- But he's a boy, honey.

I thought you said it was

being rewritten for girls.

- Only Julio's part.

Mr. Thompson says we're

gonna enlighten the school

about tolerance.

- Did you know about this?

- Well, I did sign a consent

for her rehearsals, but...

- bad enough these heteros are

moving into our neighborhood.

Now they want their

perverted lifestyles

taught in our schools?

No, no way.

You're not doing the play.

You are not doing

this kind of crap.

Gimme that.

I'm not having this.

No ma'am.

This is garbage.

Hetero crap.

Who does this Mr.

Thompson think he is,

putting our kids in

these adult situations?

If he's not careful,

he's gonna end up

with another situation

just like the one

at the university.

What's the name

of the principal?

- Henry Birdsell, but I'm

gonna call him tomorrow.

- Yes, can I get a number

for a Henry Birdsell please?

- Honey, I

will call him tomorrow.

Go wash your hands.

- Thank you.

You know I'm right about this.

I don't like the

look of her results.

No.

- Thanks.

Jude.

Hey, come here.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey, sorry I'm late.

I was talking to

reverend Rachel.

- That's okay.

I'm used to being

last on your list.

- Kelly, stop it.

- No, no, it's

fine, that's okay.

I know you have a lot going on.

Here, take a button.

- Can we talk?

- Did you know that

your friend Ryan

was kicked out of

his fraternity?

- What?

Why?

- Yeah.

Here you go, thanks.

They think he's a closet hetero.

- Really?

- Isn't that funny?

- Wow.

- Here you go.

Vote for Kelly.

- That's really surprising.

- Did he ever try

anything with you?

- No.

No, that's disgusting.

- Right, okay.

Here, take a sucker.

Vote Kelly.

- Hey, Kelly, I need

to be honest with you.

Kel,

Kelly,

reverend Rachel thinks

that we should end this.

- So you told her

what's going on?

- Yeah.

- And her answer was for

you to break up with me?

- Yeah.

- And you chose to do

it here, in public?

- Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I don't know how to do this.

I don't know. I just know that it's

not right for me to lead you on.

- The vote is tomorrow,

and we need to keep this

between us until then, okay?

Because I need to figure out

how to go public with it.

- Go public with it?

What are you talking...

- yes, Jude, we are a

celebrity couple on campus

and things need to be

handled a certain way.

Here, take a button, thanks.

- Kelly.

I'm sorry I...

- You owe me this.

Okay?

Here you go.

Vote for Kelly.

Do you want a picture

with Jude Klein?

Smile.

I need votes.

Here, put this on.

- I tried to cleanse that

sinner, I really did,

but it didn't help.

I still felt the

same way inside.

So I asked the lord for a sign.

- And when

you prayed about this,

what did the lord say?

- Revelations 16.

And then I knew it was done.

Thank you, god.

He said that if I cleansed

sin wherever I found it,

then I'd also cleanse myself.

- God came down with

his divine spirit.

And you know what he did?

We got a second chance.

- Amen.

- Amen.

He stopped the defilement

of our humble community.

And we should

thank god for that.

- If I'm doing god's work,

then why do I feel

like such a sinner?

- These boys believed

that what they were doing

was acting on behalf of

the holy spirit to save us.

So who are we to judge them?

- God bless all sinners.

- God bless all sinners.

And may they walk on the path

of the lord and do your work.

- May they walk on the path

of the lord and do his work.

- We are going to pray

for these sinners.

Each of us is gonna continue

to spread the holy word,

because these messages

were sent by god.

Ah, reverend Duncan.

- And in doing so, this is

going to save all of us.

- I'm detective Michaels.

- Yes?

- My partner, detective Emerson.

We'd like to ask you a few

questions about your involvement

in the persecution

and attempted murder

of a young heterosexual.

- Stay away from my brother,

turd-is, you weirdo!

What is wrong

with you, anyway?

You're a sinner.

You need to cleanse!

What's wrong with you?

Stay down!

- Help!

- What's wrong with you?

Stay down!

- Stop, stop!

- Take a drink,

cleanse yourself!

Stay down!

Come on, let's go!

- What is happening?

- Freak!

Come on, let's go, come on.

- Hey!

- Jesus.

Sweetheart, stand up.

You okay?

Why don't you dry yourself?

I'll make sure those girls get

punished severely for this.

Look, I know this is

a tough time for you,

but I promise you, you're

gonna get through this.

You hear me?

Emily, you know the only

reason those girls do this

is because they're

jealous of you, right?

- Jealous of me?

- That's right, because

you know who you are.

Most people don't

start figuring that out

until they're old like me.

Now, let's get you

another script,

because I expect to see

you at that audition,

you understand me?

- Yes, sir.

- I pray to god for forgiveness.

I pray to god for these sinners.

- Hey.

Take a look at that.

So, one of the boys

involved in the incident

claims to have had a phone

conversation with you

where you ordered them

to do the victim harm.

Do you know anything about that?

- I'm a woman of faith.

I don't believe

in giving orders.

- All right.

I'll rephrase.

Where you advised

them to do god's work.

How about that?

- I have many parishioners.

I speak to them

on a daily basis.

I couldn't possibly remember

every conversation

I've ever had.

- Of course not, of course.

Let me ask you a question.

You ever watch YouTube?

- I don't have time

for that kind of thing.

I'm busy doing the lord's work.

- Of course you are.

Well, one of the things

about this generation

is that they love to document

every aspect of their lives

on the Internet.

Now, most of the

time it's inane,

but every now and then we find

something of real interest.

Emerson, lights please.

- Oh, wait.

I'm gonna call the reverend.

She'll know what to do.

- Hey.

- Hey Jude, it's Susan.

- What's going on?

- Oh, nothing, I just

talked to Collin Reese,

and he's coming to

the game tomorrow.

- Are you serious?

- Yes, and wait, it gets better.

- Oh my god!

Are you kidding me?

That's the greatest news!

Greatest day ever!

- He wants to know

if you're available for

dinner tomorrow night

after the game.

- Oh I do, I do.
