Be-Longing
ROSE
I’m sorry we didn’t look for you right away.
KENNY
It’s ok!
Kenny waves his arms in the air.
KENNY (CONT’D)
This place is so cool!
Claire and Sasha join Rose and Kenny. Slow music starts playing. Some people leave the dance floor. Rose, feeling more comfortable now, grabs Claire’s hand.
ROSE
Would you like to dance?
Claire nods eagerly. Rose leads Claire to the dance floor where pairs are slow dancing. Rose and Claire put their arms around each other and start slow dancing too. Rose slowly leans closer and closer to Claire. Just as it looks like Rose is about to kiss Claire on the lips, the music stops and a booming voice breaks the spell.
MC (VOICE)
Hey all you lovely queer slow dancers,
a reminder that tonight we’re raising funds
for a youth shelter for LGBTQ kids living on
the streets. The donation box is at the door!
Rose and Claire are suddenly reminded of Vanessa. Rose and Claire look at each other in silence for a moment. Claire puts her arm around Rose and whispers something in her ear. Rose nods, smiles to herself, and gives Claire a hug.
CUT TO:
EXT. PATIO (BAR). NIGHT
Rose and Claire stand very close to one another.
CLAIRE
This is so cool! I am sooooo happy
we did this! Are you?
ROSE
Yeah, I’m having a great time.
I feel so…free. And safe…and that scares me.
CLAIRE
Why would feeling safe scare you?
Rose has a conflicted look on her face.
ROSE
Well, what if I’m never able to feel
safe again in a place that’s not a gay
bar or a PFLAG meeting?
Claire reaches for Rose’s hand.
CLAIRE
Is it because of Brittany?
Rose seems uncomfortable at the mention of Brittany’s name.
CLAIRE (CONT’D)
I can’t believe she was only suspended
and not kicked out of school for what
she did to you.
Rose shudders like she’s trying to shake off the memory.
CLAIRE (CONT’D)
Stupid Catholic school. It’s like they
forget we live in Canada where gay
rights are recognized.
Rose seems comforted by Claire’s words. She looks at Claire and smiles.
ROSE
Do you always have to be so smart… and cute?
CLAIRE (IN A JOKING WAY)
