- Jude?

- Oh my god, oh my god.

- Jude?

Hello?

Hello, hello, hello?

Jude?

- Oh my god oh my god!

Hey guys.

What's going on?

Kelly!

- I told you we

were going public.

- How could you do this to me?

- I didn't do this!

You did it!

And this, and this!

- Kelly, Kelly, please stop!

- And this and this and this!

- Stop it, stop it!

- Why?

- Listen to me, stop, stop.

- Why?

What, so you can lie

to my face again?

- Please, please, stop...

- Don't touch me!

Stop!

Tell your little boyfriend

that everybody knows.

Oh, and have a

good game tomorrow.

- Susan?

Are you still there?

Hello?

- This is Ryan, leave a message.

- Ryan, please pick up.

Ryan, Kelly knows.

Ryan, everybody

knows everything.

Kelly knows.

She put pictures

of us everywhere.

If you love me, Ryan, you've

got to go somewhere safe, okay?

Just please go somewhere safe.

I love you.

- Yes Mrs.

Fallon, how are you?

And we've been,

and we feel the

same way, yes we do.

I understand, I understand.

I appreciate the call.

Yes, we're on top of

it, I promise you.

Have a good day.

Dave?

- Yes.

- David, how long have you been

teaching drama for us?

- I believe five years.

This is the sixth year.

- And how many times

have you ever changed

a piece of literature

to use as a teaching

opportunity?

- Well, Henry, I would say that

I see every piece of

literature as a teaching...

- no, come on, you

know what I mean.

- How many times have I

actually changed the text?

No, this is the first.

- Why?

Why would you do that now?

Hmm?

Especially with this

topic, in particular?

- Well, first of all because

it's a really cool idea.

Artistically it has merit.

But more importantly,

because what happened to

Ryan Morris was horrendous.

- It was horrendous, exactly,

which is why we shouldn't be

reminding the children about it.

- Children aren't born with

that kind of hatred, Henry.

They learn it.

And it's our job as

educators to make sure...

- Nate, hold my calls please.

- I believe it is

our job as educators

to make sure these kids see

the world in the right way,

not just intellectually,

but morally.

- That's where I

disagree with you.

Moral issues are to

be handled at home.

- This is happening on

our time, in our space.

What are we supposed to do?

- It's not our job.

- Are we supposed to...

This is happening

under our roof.

- Moral issues are to be

handled by the parents.

It's their

responsibility, not ours.

- So what are we supposed to do?

We're supposed to just

stand back and watch...

- there's always going

to be bullying, David.

- I don't think anyone deserves

to be beaten or bullied

or talked down to because of...

- why are you being

so pro-heterosexual?

- Well, I'm not being.

- David, my phone has been ringing

off the hook all morning.

- I predicted that.

I probably should have

talked to you first.

I apologize.

- These parents want blood.

- Okay.

- They want blood, David.

- Well.

- And, sorry to say...

- it's not that

big of deal, okay?

- You can resign today

for personal reasons or...

- what?

Come on.

- Or, or...

- Henry, stop it.

- Or the superintendent

said we can fire you...

- the superintendent?

- Reverend Rachel

made it very clear

that if you weren't

gone by lunchtime today,

there would be hell to pay

for him come election time.

- She's a reverend.

She can't do that.

- Mm-hmm, yeah, she

can, and she will.

So, David, it's killing

me, it breaks my heart.

What's it gonna be?

Resignation or termination?

- I'm hungry.

What's for lunch?

- These are from

yesterday's jubilee.

- Waste not, want not, dear.

- Holy sh*t!

- Benson, how many

times have I told you

to watch your garbage

mouth in my house?

- I'm sorry, aunt Rachel,

but you gotta hear this.

Star quarterback outed.

- Who?

- Jude Klein.

- Jude Klein?

- It says that her

girlfriend Kelly Williams

outed her yesterday

after she caught her

in the act with some

guy named Ryan Morris.

- That little b*tch.

- Oh, listen to

this, listen to this.

When asked why she posted

her pictures all over campus,

Williams replied, "according

to my mentor, reverend Rachel,

"it is my religious

duty to expose sin

"wherever I can find it."

Head coach Glen Thompson said

that she's still gonna go pro,

that they have scouts

from the packers, the

steelers and the patriots

all confirmed for

tonight's game.

- Oh, that's not gonna happen.

I told her it was okay.

I told her that god was gonna

pick out someone just for her.

- What are you talking about?

- You know, I might

have been fooled,

but the good lord is not fooled.

No, he is not.

He sees truth where truth

exists and he acts accordingly.

- That's the truth.

- Praise god, help me.

It's time to do god's work.

Benson, I need to focus on family

values at the photo shoot.

You're gonna go to

that football game,

and you're gonna do god's work.

- Wait, wait, just me?

I'm not ready for that.

- Was Noah ready for that?

Was Moses ready?

No, they were not ready,

but they did as god

commanded them to do.

Now, are you gonna

disappoint god today,

or are you gonna go do his work?

- I'll go do his work.

- You're gonna do his work.

Come on, let's go, Ashley.

Come on.

- I need you to hear me, god.

Ryan and I said that

we decided to take

some time apart just so

everything can die down.

I think that's the

right thing to do.

Just gimme a sign our

love is not wrong.

Please god, just gimme a sign.

Just gimme a sign, gimme a sign.

Gimme a sign.

Gimme a sign.

Thank you, god.

Thank you, god.

- "Poison hath been

his timeless end.

"Oh, churl, drunk all,

"and left no friendly

drop to help me after.

"I will kiss thy lips."

- Emily, did you hear what

happened to Mr. Thompson?

- What?

- He quit.

- What?

- Or got fired.

Jodie Ritter was in the office,

and they already had over 100

complaints about the play.

- What?

That's not fair.

Now I'm never gonna

get to kiss a boy.

- Kiss a boy?

What are you talking about?

Are you gay?

Like a hetero?

- I don't know what I am.

- Paula was right.

- Ian, please!

- I can't be friends

with you anymore.

- Why not?

- People are gonna think I'm

like you, and that's gross.

- You all know me to be a

man of not too many words.

Why wolves?

Hmm?

Why do you think we

chose the Timberwolf

to represent the

spirit of this team,

this school, and this community?

Two words:
Pack mentality.

A wolf on its own,

it can survive, yeah,

but it's together...

- she's gonna freak

out when she sees this.

- That they thrive.

- Hey,

look, there's turd-is.

- There for each other, always.

And that's what we

will do as a team.

We will support each other

on that field and off.

- Well, if it isn't

the little queer

who wants to kiss

my baby brother.

- Stop it.

- Now, the crusaders,

they out there thinking

they got our number today,

we gonna be weak,

caught up in petty

differences, innuendo.

They may attack one of their
