Out With Dad (2010) s02e12 Episode Script

Out of Mind

1 So why don't you two use e-mail or Facebook? I don't know.
We started off as pen pals, and then I guess we never really switched over.
Cool keeping it old school.
I basically learned how to write through pen palling.
And she lives in Wales, which is next to England, right? Right, it's part of the UK, but a different country.
When I was a kid, I used to think that the Princess of Wales Theatre meant there was a princess for the whales.
And that there must be like a Queen of the Ocean or something.
That's cute.
Have you ever been there before? No.
My mom was my pen pal's mom's maid of honour.
And her mom was supposed to be my mom's, but she couldn't because she was too pregnant with Penny.
But I think she's my godmother.
Cool.
Hey, Dad.
- Hi, Mr.
Miller.
- Hey.
Claire, we're very informal around here, you can just call me Nathan, alright? Okay - I'll try.
- Well, whatever you're comfortable with.
Okay, well, I'll just be downstairs.
My dad doesn't normally do that.
It's kind of cute.
I mean He's nervous about his daughter being alone in her bedroom with a lady friend.
Is it because.
.
? Because we're two gay girls hanging out in a bedroom.
This would not be happening if we were at my house.
Did, uhm you and Vanessa ever hang out in here alone? Yeah, all the time.
- But we never - Never? We were only ever just friends.
Were friends.
Past tense.
She's not my friend anymore.
That thing you talked about at PFLAG? You were in love with her, right? And she didn't love you back? Or couldn't love you back? - What? - Well It's just that, thinking about her clearly still bothers you, so why torture yourself? I You're right.
But I'm just not ready to do that, yet.
Well I never really had a best friend, so You're lucky.
But I can't love you.
I can't love you.
You sad, confused little girl.
Stay away from my daughter! Keep you fingers pressed against your lips.
Just pretend that we never kissed.
And take these pictures down from where they stand.
No one will notice our change of plans Side swept, I've fallen for you.
Fallen so hard, that I can't make do.
I hope we'll love some day soon But right now, I can't see this through I wanted this more than I could know.
Now I have it, I have to let it go.
And I don't know me but, it takes time, to know yourself, while not in this bind.
I hope, we'll love some day soon.
But right now I can't see this through.
