Wild Tigers I Have Known Page #3

Synopsis: Junior high in a time of rotary phones. Cougars have been spotted in the area. Logan is 13, the odd kid, with an active imagination and few friends. His young, single mother seems stressed. Latency is giving way to puberty, and Logan, who keeps a tube of lipstick in his dresser, may be gay or, more mysterious, transgender. He stares at himself in the mirror. He becomes friends with Rodeo, older and more mature, good-looking, with girlfriends. They take walks. Logan calls Rodeo and pretends to be a girl. Will he disclose himself to Rodeo? The kids at school talk. The school wants to promote kindness and tolerance. There are stories of child suicide. How do we find our way?

Hello?

Hey...

It's Logan.

Hey.

Wh-what are you doing?

Nothin'.

Can you come over?

Why?

I wanna show you something.

Are you...

gay?

No.

Some...

Someone at school said you're gay.

Who said that?

Are you?

I'm not gay.

But...

But you like boys... right?

I don't know.

If you like...

boys...

then you're gay.

You think your mom would still take

me camping if I looked like this?

# Where all things are for good... #

It gets better, you know.

Junior high...

Everybody hates it.

It's up to you...

...how long you want to hate it for.

We here at Clausen Feel it's important...

to respect one another.

I'm talking about tolerance.

We also feel it's important...

to smile to one another.

Something as simple as a smile.

It's really amazing, the difference

that it can make In a day.

And so we expect all of you

to tolerate one another...

to be kind to one another.

Your teachers and I have come up with...

something to help promote

this idea of...

kindness.

Shall we?

This is our...

Tolerance Totem.

We hope that this...

with your cooperation,

will make Clausen Junior High...

...for everyone.

Logan.

# Silence is a power and a tool #

# For you #

# For you #

# Wild tigers I have known #

# They send me down #

# Messin' around #

# You keep your heart from your chest #

# It'll be gone just like the rest #

# 'Cause it's a man's world #

# Say all the right words #

# And hold your heart from your chest #

# The silence and the color #

and their beauty #

# Stands right and still for you #

# Holdin' flames #

# Holdin' hands and hearts #

# And their bindings held tightly #

# Lyin' in the shady grass #

# Their teeth grinding #

# Inside is foreign #

# 'Cause it's the magic

hand that holds you gently #

# And turns one into many #

# And there inside,

it's bloody to reach boldly #

# For truth spoken from mouth

in his name #

# There will be wise men

singing, bringing you luck #

# Now there will be wise men singing,

bringing you luck #

# Now there will be wise men

singing, bringing you luck #

# Bringing you love #

# Now it's the precious summertime #

# Hand in pocket #

# Bright light #

# Wild tigers I have known #

# They send me down #

# Messin' around #
