Rock Haven Page #2

Synopsis: Brady (Sean Hoagland), who will shortly be going away to college, is a shy, introspective 18 year old, who moves to the coastal seaside town of Rock Haven with his overprotective, widowed mother Marty (Laura Jane Coles), who is setting up a Christian school nearby. He spends a lot of time on the beach, either reading the bible or staring at the waves crashing on shore, until he meets a neighbour's free- spirited visiting son, 19 year old Clifford (Owen Alabado). There is an instant attraction to each other, even though homosexuality conflicts with Brady's devoutly Christian beliefs. Brady has struggled with his feelings before and spends a lot of time showering, as if to scrub these feelings away. He seeks advice from his pastor (played by David Lewis, the director), who tries to reassure him by emphasising biblical texts which portray God as non-condemnatory love. Brady's mother, sensing that something is wrong, tries to fix him up with a nice Christian girl - who knows immediately th

You get her comfortable,

at ease, and then go for the goal.

What are you doing?

Just showing you what boys

do with girls.

That's not Christian behavior!

You're hard down there.

Jesus! Now look what you made

me say!

I won't tell anyone.

There's nothing to tell, I was

thinking about girls.

I mean I won't tell anyone you took

God's name in vain.

Very funny!

I can't get the stupid thing off!

Let me unhook you.

There's something seriously wrong

with you.

Touch with this, Lord...

there's something seriously wrong

with me.

Alright?

What'd you do?

Nothing.

I just wanted the house to

look nice for you.

Is this about Peggy?

Sort of...

I don't know.

I think it's obvious from last night, that you

have some serious, serious, issues.

You know what's wrong.

Just come out and say it!

Leviticus Chapter 18, Verse 22:

says "Thou shalt not lie with mankind

as with womankind; it is an abomination."

Surely you can come up with

something better than

a cherry-picked Bible verse.

I'm trying to help you.

Maybe you should concentrate on

helping yourself.

What do you mean helping myself?

You're the trivia king.

Figure it out!

I'm not like you, Clifford.

I'm not some toy for you

to play around with.

Where are you going?

Don't let the door hit you on

the arse on the way out!

Brady!

I thought you wanted

me to.

Is it 'boy trouble'?

Okay. That's it!

I'm so sick and tired of people making

judgments about me. You don't know me!

What do you want?

Stop!

We can't do this.

Why not?

Reverend Brown, I don't want to

condone his life style.

You sound pretty sure

about this friend.

I am sure...

very sure.

And it really confuses me.

How so?

I don't understand why God

would make him this way...

if it's wrong.

Be there for him!

Get up! We're going to be

late for Church.

What's wrong?

I'm not feeling really well.

You go on without me!

Oh, I'm sorry sweetie.

Get some rest!

Wait...

I shouldn't be missing Church.

Make an exception,

just this once?

If I hurry, I can catch

the last half of services.

I'm sorry. You know,

this is still new to me.

Don't be sorry,

it's part of the deal.

Why do you put up

with me?

You're cute!

No I'm not.

And you don't have a

mean bone in your body.

Everybody's got a mean streak.

You don't.

At boarding school, a lot of the boys made it

their lives' work to make my life a living hell.

I haven't had a lot of

nice people in my life.

You're different.

Hey boys!

What are you doing here?

Last time I checked,

I lived here!

My mom's expecting me

any time now.

Oh, don't be silly!

Clifford, can you run to the

store and get some milk?

Why did I have to get the weirdest

mom on the planet?

It's supposed to rain tomorrow.

That doesn't happen much in summer,

does it?

So, have you two boys

gone all the way?

Oh, my God!

Sex is serious business.

What are you talking about?

Oh, save it, dear.

What did Clifford tell you?

Oh, he never tells me any

of the good stuff!

You're shaking like

a leaf!

Nothing happened!

Please don't tell my mom.

You have my word. Feel this

aura of conflict about you!

It's probably me just having

a heart attack.

No, wait,

I sense something else

... that you'll find your way.

Amen.

So I ran into Angie at

the grocery this afternoon.

Could you pass the mashed potatoes?

She just happened to mention how you

two boys had such a nice time today.

You have never missed services,

not once.

It's not the end of the world, Mom.

Was this Clifford's idea?

No, it was mine.

Well, what kind of Christian example

is that to set for him?

Not a very good one.

I know you're going through a lot.

All I'm saying is...

don't lose sight of your

walk with Christ.

I won't.

I'm not.

Promise?

You really like him, don't you?

You have to get over this

guilt trip.

I did!

How?

I fell in love.

When're you guys getting married?

He scares me; it's never

mattered this much before.

You guys ready?

What're you talkin' about?

Nothing!

How'd you know about me so fast?

I have a test.

If a guy doesn't look down my blouse...,

then... it's 100% accurate.

Sorry I asked.

Peggy's gonna be here tomorrow

all day.

All day?

Yeah.

What?

Don't get me wrong...

I think Peggy's a wonderful girl,

but temptation is the

workshop of the devil.

Mom!

For heaven's sake!

Okay, for the title of 'Trivia Champion'.

The state capital of Vermont?

No helping!

Montpelier.

Trivia stud!

I don't believe this.

Re-match!

I have a confession to make.

Peggy told me you memorized

the trivia cards.

Something else...

I've been doing a little

bedside reading.

Your favorite book.

Clifford.

I wouldn't send me up for any

revivals just yet.

The point is your heart's open.

I guess.

I mean...

I always wondered if there was someone

or something up there,

even as a little kid.

But until now, it just didn't seem

rational , you know?

What changed your mind?

You didn't come into my

life by accident.

Did I say something wrong?

No.

I just felt so alone.

Did something happen?

No, not really.

He's just...

I can't put my finger on it.

There are these walls going

up between us.

That scares me...

It really scares me.

July seems like an odd time to

have a hayride.

Summers are cold here.

There'll be chaperons at the

sleepover afterwards, right?

Yeah. The whole Church group

will be there.

It's eerie how much you look

like your father.

You need to get out more!

My hands are full with

the Lord's work.

That's Peggy...

Be careful.

I will. See you

tomorrow!

How're you feeling?

Safe.

How was the hayride?

It was fine,

just like Kansas.

Peggy had a car accident

last night.

Oh, my God!

Just a few bumps and bruises.

What happened?

If you had been with her,

you'd know!

We broke up.

Don't lie to me!

Is it drugs?

No.

Are you in trouble with

the law?

No!

Then just tell me

what is going on!

I was with Clifford.

Well, why do you have to

make up a lie to be with him?

Brady?

I can't say.

What?

I've had these feelings for

a long time.

Oh, sweet Jesus!

I prayed for it to stop.

We don't get to pick and choose the

parts of the Bible we want to believe in.

Sometimes...

I wish I didn't believe.

Please, tell me.

You don't believe that?

I need your help, Mom.

You knew about them.

You have to have faith, Marty.

What would you know about faith?

God didn't give you a monopoly on

all these matters!

You encouraged them,

didn't you?

What kind of a mother would

do that?

You're not being very

Christ-like.

Okay, I've had it!

You can't keep barging in here

all the time.

Why are you avoiding me?

You've gotta go.

Not until you tell me

what's going on.

I'm getting some help.

With what?

You know.

Holy sh*t! You can't go

through with this.

I owe it to myself to try.

To yourself?

Or to your mom?

What I did wasn't right!

Do I even matter here?

Good luck at 'Brain-washing Camp'...

you're gonna need it!

Have some coconut erbal tea, dear;
