how to make an entrance.

Oh you are just to cute for words.

You like it?

I thought the feathers might be a bit to much.

No Jenny sue is right it is adorable.

You know we are having a senior social

at our church this Saturday, you should come.

Thank you so much

But Saturday is when I see my boyfriends.

Did you say.... "Boyfriends"?

No I am sure she meant...

Oh yes every since Rose has discovered on-line dating,

she has been the belle of the ball.

Really?

That is so very...

Rose, do you have your dollar bills ready?

Yeah..

Oh aunt rose you certainly have...

Blossomed?

That's the word I was looking for.

Chase, would you come over here and

show me that thing with the dollar bill again.

Simple... just fold it length ways...

You are such a flirt.

Oh come on show me those hips.

Oh yes he dances at one of those clubs down town...

You should come and see him sometime.

You mean your hanging out with male strippers?

No just the one.

(Edna stutters)

Oh it is OK to look...

He is very easy on the eye's.

Are you two?

Oh what me and Chase?

Goodness no.

After all he is gay.

What?

Rose and I went to a gay bar,

and we met the nicest group of homosexuals.

Never...

Really? well come along next time.

We are going back next Tuesday for karaoke night.

Oh god.

Brian, I thought you had renounced your sinful past?

I didn't mean to make any trouble.

No... of course you didn't.

Just because Brian has given up all his gay friends...

I don't see why I should have to right Jenny Sue?

Well... I think...

I must draw the line at encouraging

that kind of immorality.

It says right there in the bible that homosexuality...

Yes I do recall a pithy little verse on the subject.

Right next to the one that forbids mixing different fibres.

Nice suit by the way Buddy.

Cotton Polyester is it?

That is total irrelevant.

Well if you say so...

Oh but I do think it is very

forward of you to tell me,

who I may entertain in my own home.

Now about that rumarki, I have some in the kitchen.

would anyone like to...?

(doorbell rings)

Oh who is that?

How can I know till I open the door.

(Both women sequels)

It's so good of you to come.

Of course because we always have

drag queens over for Sunday dinner.

Oh them they offered to bake cookies

for the youth group.

Youth group?

I have all this space, I don't see why

I shouldn't put it to good use?

Everybody this is Kitty and Salsa.

Brian would you take there rags?

Of course.

No ice.

Mom what are you doing?

I am being polite and saying hello to my friends.

Buddy?

Yes?

Oh good lord.

If I had known you were going to be here,

I would have slapped on a fresh coat of paint.

Now be a gentleman and take Miss Salsa's coat

Of course.

Salsa?

Do I take it you know this... person?

I have never seen her before in my life.

I am assuming you know where the kitchen is?

Maybe you and I could cook up

a little something later huh?

Behave!

Does he still have that cute little mole on his ass?

That looks like fun!!

Mum, can I have a word?

John I demand you...

Oh my lord.

Jenny Sue...

John... John Camble?

Mom, we have to have a word now.

Brian I am busy entertaining our guests.

I am sure whatever it is can wait.

Well it can't.

Brian whatever has gotten into you?

What are you doing?

Whatever do you mean?

Mom I am gay.

So why are you trying to ruin this for me?

because I want you to be happy.

Don't you want me to have kids?

Of course I do.

There are so many things that

I would do to have grand kids...

But seeing you trapped in a

loveless marriage is not one of them.

For the love of god who is that?

Well that would be the youth group.

The youth group?

Boys...

See Brian there is nothing to

worry about just a gay youth group.

Of course the gay youth group !!!

They needed a safe place to meet,

we can't have them hanging out at bars,

you would not believe the bad habits they pick up.

Oh hey...

Thanks for letting us use your place Mae.

It is no problem,

you can use the den while we are eating.

What's on the agenda for tonight?

We are going to watch a movie about the stonewall...

riots and play some board games.

See Brian, don't you wish we

had this when you were a kid.

I don't even know where to begin.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I promise this will be the last interruption.

Now how about some romarki?

There you go, there you go.

Are you insane?

Your training young boys to be sodomised?

and your expecting us to have Hors d'oeuvre?

Trust me, sodomy is the one thing

they don't need to be taught...

You cannot believe what boys can

figure out for themselves.

Last hint.... DEK pledge class, who is your big brother?

Frank!!

So that is a no on the romarki?

Mom please just stop it.

Well I don't see the problem.

Someone has to look after these boys.

What if one of your kids turns out to be gay?

Mom that is not the point.

That's exactly the point.

When your son tells you he is gay

what are you going to say to him?

Are you going to tell him to be proud of himself?

Go and find a place for himself in this world?

or are you going to tell him to go

and hide in a gated community,

and marry a woman he doesn't love?

and pretend he is something he is not?

Why can't you just let me do this?

because I love you just the way you are.

You stubborn jackass.

If you think this world won't give you

the things that you want,

Love, kids, a family...

Then I am going to have to change the world,

because I will not have it change you.

(Brian starts to cry)

Mom I really loved him.

I know.

God why does this have to be so hard?

because love always is.

It wouldn't be so special if it was easy.

I tell you running away from it isn't the answer.

Mrs Davis...

I must say you throw the liveliest dinner

parties of anyone I have ever known

Get your hand out of that woman's crotch.

Don't you touch me.

Jenny Sue, I have to say you are one hell of a girl.

Why thank you, but I prefer it if you said "heck".

and...

You deserve someone who is

going to make you truly happy.

Yes?

Sweetheart that is not me.

Look we both deserve way more than this.

Are you saying we are not getting married?

I should certainly say not.

Good god.

I couldn't put up with this family another minute.

Come along Jenny we are leaving.

But I don't wanna go.

Excuse me?

I like Brian, even if he won't marry me.

He is the only person whoever

listened to a word I said.

Jenny listen to me I can't marry you.

I don't care if your gay or a democrat,

or French.

Can't I have you in my life?

Jenny Sue Rosewater Camble

you come right here this instant...

We're going to find you a good Christian husband

if it is the last thing we do.

No daddy...

Do not give us your lip young lady.

We have put up with quite enough from you.

After that incident with that girl from your soccer team.

and the police woman in Makeend.

and that cheerleader from Texas.

and the pizza delivery girl.
