really shitty...

...but I'm sorry I can't be

your friend in school.

You know that, right?

What are you talking about?

Henry already gives me

enough sh*t. I...

I just can't let him

see us hanging out together.

So if I see you in the hallway,

I can't say hi? Is that it?

I can't talk to you?

Afterwards.

Or even before, just...

Just not in school, okay?

I'm sorry, Danny.

Look, I gotta go.

Hey, Danny, when you're done,

I want to see it, okay?

Sure.

Good luck at your swim meet.

That was quite some stunt

you pulled.

Very funny.

If you think you can get away

with this kind of behavior...

...you're quite mistaken.

You want to tell me

what's really going on?

- How are things at home, son?

- Fine.

Your folks are getting along okay?

No. They're broken up.

My mom lives in Texas.

Look can we skip the whole

"getting to know you" routine?

Let me put it this way:

Knock it off!

You just got here.

Give us a break

with the practical jokes.

All right, class. Settle in.

Find a seat.

Let's open to Act 2, Scene 2.

Remember, your essays

are due tomorrow.

No excuses. No excuses.

You've had more than enough time.

All right, let's get started.

Can anyone tell me.

what is Shakespeare

trying to tell us about love?

Even from the little bit

we've covered so far...

...does anyone want

to offer any ideas?

Come on, people.

You all know the story.

It's been told and re-told.

Even in Shakespeare's time,

it was an old story.

Does Shakespeare

believe in true love?

Yes, Danny.

I think he's trying to tell us...

Speak up, please.

I think he's trying to tell us

that a life without love.

...isn't worth living.

Love conquers death.

Very good.

And while many of us today might

consider that the romantic ideal...

Mr. Shakespeare illustrates

his viewpoint quite clearly.

...and in a very dramatic way.

Hey, hold up.

What, are we racing?

What happens

if I don't win anything.

...and you took all those pictures

for nothing?

So, what's a few rolls of film?

What's your problem?

Nothing.

So how's your friend doing?

You mean Danny?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

Did he say anything about me?

About this weekend?

He tells me everything.

I'm a certified fag hag.

What do you want to know?

Did he mention me?

He said you didn't want

to be seen with him.

Come on, you make me sound

like a total jerk.

Okay. Listen up.

You want to stay in the closet?

That's your business.

I could give a sh*t.

But you break Danny's heart

and I'll crack your head open.

Got it?

I'm just giving you fair warning.

And what makes you think

I'm a closet case?

You don't know me.

Mind your business.

Ooh, did I strike a nerve?
