Were The World Mine Page #4

Synopsis: If you had a love-potion, who would you make fall madly in love with you? Timothy, prone to escaping his dismal high school reality through dazzling musical daydreams, gets to answer that question in a very real way. After his eccentric teacher casts him as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, he stumbles upon a recipe hidden within the script to create the play's magical, purple love-pansy. Armed with the pansy, Timothy's fading spirit soars as he puckishly imposes a new reality by turning much of his narrow-minded town gay, beginning with the rugby-jock of his dreams. Ensnaring family, friends and enemies in this chaos, Timothy forces them to walk a mile in his musical shoes. The course of true love never did run smooth; it's a bumpy ride.

"Courage! They're about

to fight for love."

"My gentle Puck, come hither.

Thou rememberest

that very time I saw,

but thou couldst not,

Cupid all arm'd:

a certain aim he took at

a fair vestal throned by..."

"Vestal throned by the west.

And loosed his love-shaft

smartly from his bow,

As it should pierce

a hundred thousand hearts;"

Go on.

"Yet marked I where

the bolt of Cupid fell:

It fell upon a little

western flower,"

"Before milk-white,

now purple with love's wound."

Luscious. Continue.

"Fetch me that flower;

the herb I showed thee once:

The juice of it on

sleeping eye-lids laid

Will make or man

or woman madly dote

Upon the next

live creature that it sees."

"I'll put a girdle round about

the earth In forty minutes."

"Having once this juice -

"I'll watch Titania

when she is asleep

And drop the liquor

of it in her eyes."

"The next thing then

she waking looks upon...

She shall pursue it

with the soul of love."

We'd love to have you

stay for bible study.

- I have wings to make.

- It's a potluck!

No, for my son.

He's a fairy.

- A fairy?

- In a play.

Well, in real life, too.

He's gay.

My son is gay...

Or queer.

But the wings

are for the play.

A man shall not

lie with man...

Do you want the damn

eye cream or not?

Now, with the soul of love

I ask of you the memorization

of act three tonight.

Timothy.

How is your text coming?

I'm trying, but I don't

understand half of it.

Unite rhythm with words

and they will unlock

to empower you -

like A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S

DREAM come true.

"Take pains;

be perfect:
adieu."

Down... up... 9!

Down...

up... 10!

Who did it?

Look who just

flew in from Fairyland?

Did you?

Hey, bud, calm down.

- Who did it?

- Let's walk.

F*ggot!

Fight! Fight!

Look, guys!

I caught a fairy!

Leave the pansy alone.

Get out of here!

He's not worth it.

"I'll put a girdle round about

the earth In forty minutes."

A girdle?

"I'll put a girdle round about

the earth... In forty minutes."

"I'll put a girdle round about

the earth...

"I'll put a girdle

round about the earth...

Cupid's love juice...
