Just talk to me

like we're friends,

'cause we are friends.

No one else will see this

unless you want them to.

Come on, talk to me.

When my mom signed

me up for camp In Malibu,

I was real excited.

I've never seen the ocean before.

But how could we afford It?

She sald It was a special camp,

free for kids affected by AIDS.

So I was, like,

"Oh... I lie and say I have AIDS?"

She sald, "No, baby...

I have AIDS."

Chaz made this video

of Ken a while back.

Ken said it was okay

to give you a copy.

Would you like that?

What's that?

Here, switch spots.

Let me see.

Hey, can you, uh,

hand me the manual

from the glove compartment?

I thought Chaz had these.

Are...

Are you gay?

Yes.

Did Chaz know?

Yes, Nick.

That's against the rules.

Nick, listen to me.

No. It's not allowed.

"A man may imagine

things that are false,

but he only can understand

things that are true,

for if it be false,

the apprehension of them

is not understanding '

Nick, I loved your brother,

and he loved me.

No.

Chaz was gonna tell you,

he really was.

- No!

- Stop it.

Just stop it!

You're a bad influence.

My dad was right.

You're a bad influence!

Nick, listen to me.

You're a liar... and a cheat!

Do you spend time with me

'cause I look like Chaz?

Do I turn you on

or something?

Nick, stop it!

Why didn't he tell me?

He meant to, but...

He kept procrastinating.

Chaz wanted to come out,

but he didn't want

to hurt your feelings.

Well, he's right!

Hypocritical... lying...

Disgusting freak!

Chaz went out of his way

to love and protect you

because you're

not normal, either.

Well, screw normal,

and screw you!

Me - a bad influence?

If you hadn't been

so damn needy,

Chaz would've ridden

with me in my car

and he would've still

been alive today.

I'm gay...

So what?

That's a crime?

And you know what?

We never even

held hands in public.

Why?

Because of people like you

and your stupid homophobic family.

You think you loved

your brother?

No...

I loved your brother.

You didn't even know

who your brother was.

Yo. Where is everyone?

You guys hungry?

I want to order pizza.

I got in! I got into Yale!

What?! No way, bro! Congrats!

I'm so excited,

I can't even think straight.

Has anybody heard from Ajit?

No! Hope he got in.

I'm sure he got in.

His grades were better than mine.

Whatever, man.

Good news or not,

we're gonna get plastered tonight.

- Yeah!

- Congrats, man.

What's up?

You get in?

Yeah? You?

Wait-listed.

Damn.

Wait-listed means half-in.

No, man, I haven't even

told my parents.

I don't know what to tell them.

I can talk to my dad.

He's one of the key

fundraisers for Yale.

- Really?

- Yeah, for sure.

God, I don't even

know what to say...

pathetic!

You guys are just like...

You lose all this money!

- You know why you all come here?

- What the hell?

It's to forget that

you've got no friends!

But then you can't

even get into Yale

without your

parents' money and...

Without them, you're nothing!

Shut the hell up!

Hey!

Nick.

Let him go.

How's he gonna get home?

He's not a baby.

There's a bus stop

down the street.

Jesus...

What happened

between you two?

He found out that I'm gay.

You're gay? Since when?

Sorry.

And Chaz was, too.

Whoa. What is...

What's going on?

Hey, Mr. A.P. Math,

can you not put 2 and 2 together?

Wait, you're saying that

you and Chaz were lovers?

What about the... the...

What about all the babes?

I wanted to create

a friendly environment.

You guys think

we can still hang out?

Heh...

As long as you're

still buying, man, of course.

Hell yeah.

Yeah, man...

Any lover of Chaz's...

Wait, no, that's not

gonna come out right.

Nick?

Are you getting ready?

Your Aunt May's gonna

be here any moment.

Leave me alone.

We're going to your

favorite dim sum place.

Nick, open the door!

Nick, I'm just gonna

get the key.

You're not dressed?

Are you sick, B.B.?

Stop calling me that.

There is no reason

to get upset, B.B.

I'm not your B.B.,

and I'm not your baby.

Please, we've got to stop fighting.

Sooner or later, we've got

to get back to normal?

Normal?

You mean like having a brother

who's gay?

What are you talking about?

Your perfect Chaz was gay,

and you didn't even know...

Be quiet!

Stop it, both of you!

You don't like the fact

that he was gay,

so you slap me? I

You're the one

who needs beating.

You are grounded.

If you hadn't grounded Chaz,

he would've been

driving that day,

and not biking.

He would be alive today.

It's all your fault!

That is enough!

You know he's a gambler?

And the Firehouse...

the place he volunteers at...

is filled with illegal's,

and it's run by a lesbian.

He made video diaries there...

probably telling

everyone about Randy...

his boyfriend.

Nick!

Nick?

Let's get some lunch, huh?

We can talk about

what happened this morning.

I'm sure it's all

a horrible misunderstanding.

Nick, open the door, please.

I'll go get the key.

Nick?

Nick!

These permits are expired.

Miss Lee?

Mr. And Mrs. Young, hi.

What a surprise.

The show doesn't start...

Miss Lee, Where's nick?

He's not here yet.

Where is he?

Doug, do you know

where Nick is?

No.

Hey, Mr. And Mrs. Young.

Why? What's wrong?

Nick...

I think Nick's run away from home.

What?

Should we call the police?

No, call the other guys

and see if they know where he is.

And if not, ask them

to go look for him.

All right.

You should wait in my office.

You mentioned a show.

Yes, I am sure

Nick will be here for this.

You should stay.

And, in fact,

we're playing video diaries,

and you'll hear Chaz

on one of them.

Video diaries?

I really think you'll be proud

of what your son accomplished.

Nick heard it, and he...

What's on the diary?

Oh, it's really about Ken.

Who is Ken?

Ken and Chaz

made some tape together?

A DVD, yeah.

Saying what? Doing what?

Ken talked about AIDS

and a first kiss, I think.

I'm sorry, I've heard

so many of the tapes that...

Miss Lee?

Excuse me.

That must be what Nick saw

that made him think Chaz was...

But they're showing it

in public.

This is not their property.

This is private.

Who are you calling?

Hi. May?

Yeah, it's me.

We have an emergency.

Can you be our attorney?

I doubt Nick's at school,

but you never know.

Does Cameron know

the way to the cemetery?

No. Um, and you're not

gonna believe this,

but Chaz's parents are trying

to shut down the Firehouse.

Tell Miss Lee I think

I know someone who can help.

May.

Hi, how are you?

Thank you for coming.

Of course.

That's what family is for, right?

Don't worry. This is gonna be easy.

- Dad.

- Yeah, hi.

I need you to come with me.

Can't right now.

It's important.

I need your help.

You, uh, in a hurry?

Dad, I need to

tell you something.

I'm gay.

Is that it?

Wait, you knew?

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm supposed to

tell you that you're gay?

I think you're supposed

to tell me that.

Well, you could've
