毕业舞会

Note to self

Don't be gay in Indiana

Big heads-up That's a really stupid plan

There are places Where it's in to be out

Maybe San Francisco or thereabout

But in Indiana, without a doubt

If you're not straight Then guess what's bound to hit the fan?

Just breathe, Emma

Not everyone is that repressed

Just breathe, Emma

It wouldn't be high school Without a test

Just close your eyes and count to ten

Go to your happy place

And then try not to combust

Just breathe

Hey, Emma. Hey, who's this girl you were gonna bring to the prom, anyway?

I didn't know we had more than one lesbo in town.

You don't know her. She's new here. - Like an exchange student?

Maybe. - Mmm.

Well, then why don't you, like, exchange her for a guy?

Ooh! Dude! Nice!

Note to self People suck in Indiana

Leave today Pray the Greyhound isn't full

Who knew asking out a girl to the prom

Would go over just like an atom bomb

And make things much worse With your dad and mom

And who'd have ever thought That could be possible?

Just breathe, Emma

Picture a beach with golden sand

Just breathe, Emma

Picture a Xanax in your hand

Try journaling or start a blog

Just end this inner monologue

Seethe if you must

But just breathe

Okay. I just got off the phone with the state's attorney.

She thinks this is a civil rights issue. This is a big deal, Emma.

So, what are you saying?

I'm just saying I'm really excited to be a part of something like this.

We'll see how the PTA meeting goes.

Well, it's not gonna be fun. We'll get through it.

Just take a sec. Relax.

Just breathe, Emma

Remember that thing called oxygen

Just breathe, Emma

Look at the crazy state you're in

Just smile and nod Although they're jerks

Say "namaste" and pray it works

And like we've discussed

Just…

Breathe

When wilt thou Save the people?

Blue one. Blue. - This stop motion sickness?

Mmm-hmm, and everything else.

The people…

Okay. Enough! Enough!

Stop singing, stop! You're making me hate God.

You're scaring them.

They're scaring me.

How about we do some trust exercises?

Yeah? Good.

Hotel is booked. Breakfast isn't included, but there is a Waffle Shed next door.

Sounds delicious.

Mmm-hmm.

We're doing a great thing here. We're being great people.

This is all great.

This is gonna get me my third Tony Award.

Oh, my God. - What?

Oh, come on, you know how political the Tonys are.

They don't vote for you. They vote for your brand.

My brand is a little tarnished at the moment.

'Cause of the infamous tirade at the Longacre Theatre?

When a cell phone goes off in the middle of a performance…

I can't be held responsible. - It was your cell phone!

I didn't know that! - It was in your wig!

I didn't know that at the time. Anyway…

All the goodwill that we're gonna get from this thing will wash me clean,

and I will win, no matter what my next project is.

You're just greedy. I'd be happy with one Tony.

I thought I had a shot with FDR. - Mmm-hmm.

I need a win.

I'm so sick of all the rejection. I'm no Dee Dee Allen.

A lot of bile. - Well, I'm angry at life.

No, I mean Trent. He's retching again.

You were saying something about your…

I got into this business, yes, because I loved it,

but also to prove to everyone who doubted me,

my… teachers, the kids on the school bus, my horrible parents,

that I could do something. Something important.

That's exactly what we are doing.

Something important.

I just hope we don't screw it up.

Hit it.

Day by day…

Day by day

Day by day

Three things I pray

Three things I pray

I'm sorry, you're telling us that the state's attorney

is forcing us to have a prom?

No, the state's attorney wants us to hold an inclusive prom.

Yes.

Because that's what they feel best reflects America's values.

Well, this isn't America. This is Indiana.

All right.

Just to be clear, this is America

and everyone gets to have an opinion... Oh, just like you.

My son will not be forced to go to a homosexual prom.

Thank you, Beverly! Thank you!

Again, it is not a homosexual prom. It is an inclusive prom…

With homosexuals. - You don't have to attend...

You don't have to attend if you don't want to.

Look… I… I'm sorry you're upset,

but the organization of the prom is within the purview of the student council.

Let's hear what they have to say. Alyssa?

Uh… Okay.

Well, we want prom to go on, obviously.

It's supposed to be a celebration of all students...

Okay. No, thank you. It's fine, everyone.

Sweetheart, I'm so sorry, but this is not a student matter.

This is about government… tearing our community apart.

It's about big government taking away our freedom of choice.

Okay. Okay.

This is not about government intervention.

Emma, what is this about?

I just want to go to prom like any other kid.

Mmm-hmm. But you can't.

She can't, and that's why the courts are involved.

Ask yourself.

What exactly is it that you find so frightening about gay people?

Hold it! Stop! Stop!

Hold it!

What you are doing here is wrong.

I'm sorry. Who are you?

Where is our girl? Where's Emma? Emma!

I'm Emma.

Emma, my name is Barry, and I'm here to tell you that you are not alone.

Okay? I am as gay as a bucket of wigs.

A bucket of them!

And we are here from New York City and we are gonna save you.

Tomorrow, we will hold a rally.

There'll be banners and choreography. - Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Shame! Shame!

Excuse me!

What is going on? Who are you people?

We are liberals from Broadway.

Oh, shut up!

We are here to open your hearts and your minds.

The five of us are gonna teach you…

Where's Dee Dee? - You'll see.

All right.
