It's your fault.

For inspiring us, sir.

What are you thinking of doing

for your first production?

A modern day musical.

Indeed.

Tells the tale of poor, young artists

struggling to make it

in contemporary society.

I see.

And what is the title

of this inspiring opus?

- It's actually...

- Jesus Christ Superstar.

Oh, boy, it's a little rich

for our small town blood,

don't you think?

The good Lord singing rock n' roll,

lifting his skirts and hoofing.

Well, I did anticipate this problem,

which is why I sharing

in your enthusiasm

for the British theater, and making it

a condition that your

maiden production be.

Romeo and f***ing Juliet.

Romeo and goddamn motherfucking Juliet.

That tired ass, cock sucking...

Come on, Efrem. What did you expect?

Vampire lesbians of Sodom?

It's actually not bad,

it's kind of steamy.

I love the movie.

- Oh, my gosh, me too.

- It did kind of rock.

Yeah, it also had a budget

of like a zillion dollars.

So, we have Randy.

What am I going to do?

Be your genius self

and come up with stuff.

Imagination has no price.

Well what can we do

to make Romeo and Juliet

f***ed up enough to keep Effie happy?

Effie?

Black Romeo and white Juliet.

The school administration

should be fine with that.

Screw that, man.

What would freak those fuckheads out?

It's our last year, for Christ's sake.

These teachers must be shafted.

What about like a white trash version?

Tale of two trailer parks.

We ain't white, honey.

Yeah, but we're actors,

we can play anything.

How about a gay version?

What's with you today, are you high?

Oh, my God.

Romeo and Julian.

My girl, you totally rule.

It's brilliant.

Romeo and Julian,

I actually kind of dig that.

Who knew?

- Randy, you should play Romeo.

- What?

Why not, dude?

I'll be your Julian

if you'll be my Romeo.

Everybody thinks I'm gay anyway

for hanging out with y'all,

but I'm still the

fastest boy in the football field,

so f*** 'em.

Leslie, you'd be cool with that?

Are you kidding?

I think boys together are like

the hottest thing on Earth like ever.

Damn, the preacher's kid's a freak.

Oh, my God,

everybody's going to flip out.

Efrem!

Squares.

You know this Shakespeare guy

kind of really knew his stuff.

So, Randy, do you mind me directing?

Randy?

You learned it already?

Enough.

Doesn't sound as good

as your keyboard, but...

I think I just about got

all the chords down.

You suck but in the most distracting way

You're beautiful

And there ain't nothing more to say

I get excited by the thought of you

It brightens up my day

So you suck in the most distracting way

When we fight, I was not right

I'm feeling like a clown
