* FAMILY & FRIENDS *
Did father told you what he've said to me? - He told me. - Did he?
Did he told you that I'm a maniac, a sick person, who's not his son anymore?
- Did he tell you that? - Yes, mom...
- But, that was in the heat of the fight...
You know he didn't mean it! - Stop trying to defend him! He expelled me from home! - He lost his mind!
- I don't care! I won't go back!
- You will come back home! I won't allow you to move out from home due to such a thing!
You must be patient. Try to understand your father. He found out in the worst possible way. That's why he reacted like that.
- Even if I had told him the truth some other time, he'd always react like that! - You can't be sure!
- Yes, I can! He's a prejudiced! - No, son! He just comes from a traditional and conservative family. Your grandpa was about to be a priest.
- So what? - It's not easy! Give it time and you'll see that I'm right! Your father loves you!
But he'll need time to process all of this...
- Maybe you are a little bit right... But it wasn't easy to hear what dad said to me...
- I know, son. I know.... And you have all the reasons in the world to be upset and revolted...
But, never forget that dad loves you very much... And he didn't mean what he said to you...
Son... I'll be always here by your side!
And now let's go home, both of us, to talk to dad... Both of us!
- Ok, I'll go... But if dad continues to react the same way... I'll move out... And I won't come back ever again!
What are you doing here? - Ok, I'll go away! - No, No, No! You won't leave!
Can you stop it immediately? This is our son's place. I won't allow you to doubt about it. Otherwise, I'll be the one moving out!
- Ok. Very well...
But I want an apology... - An apology about what? Are you expecting me to apology for what I am? Forget it! I'm proud to be who I am!
- Xavier, go to your room! And don't you talk to me again! - Go to your room, son. Go. Let me talk to your father.
Alexandre, can you calm down when you're talking to Xavier, please?
- If you want him to stay, ok. He can stay...
But, after what happened, don't you ask me to talk to him again. - Don't say these things! A father loves unconditionally!
If you're his father, when he pleases you, you're also his father when he acts otherwise!
When Xavier told me what was happening I was in shock too!
If you ask me what do I prefer, of course I'd say that I rather have an heterosexual son: who could marry a girl and give me grandchildren.
- A NORMAL SON! - NO, A HAPPY SON!
And if this is the way he's happy, then we must respect him!
I won't allow you to treat him badly nor to expel him from this house!
- I won't expel him, if he doesn't talk to me again!
Since the moment that he made this choice... He stopped being my son!
- What's up, man? The dishes? Are they ready or not? - Oh, pal... I can't do anything right, today...
- What happened? Did you put all the salt in the pot? - I wish it was that!
I broke a dish, then I was about to slip down on the spaghetti... Then I burned 3 steaks. Pal, this is being a hard day!
It couldn't be worse!
- But, what's wrong with you? I've noticed that you've been a bit... Weird!
- It's some stuff at college, nothing special. - Oh, David! Are you joking in my face? Do you think I'm a fool?
You have been like this for some time now. It's not just today!
It smells me like... Chick! - No! It's no chick at all! Ok? Let it be! Just forget it! Forget it!
Oh, David: Wait, wait, wait!
You don't need to react like that! Calm down! You can trust me! You must get it out off your chest! Otherwise you'll let the rice burn!
Am I not a good friend? Am I not? - Yes, you're a good friend! - So?!?!
I've supported you when you had that issue with Susana. I'm here for you, right?
- Yeah, but I won't tell you. If I do that, you'll make fun of me and I wouldn't stand it! - Are you crazy? Hey! I'm not that kind of guy!
You can trust me! You can tell me whatever you want. I promise you I'll take you serious!
- It's a complicated thing... - That's exactly the reason why you have to speak about it!
Damn it! I'm your friend, man! You can trust me! That's what friends are for! To talk about anything...
- Yeah... - Then!
- Perhaps I should get this out of my chest... - Sure!
You're an open minded guy, right? - David, I caught my girlfriend kissing other guy...
...She came here, she apologized and I forgave her. Can you find a more open minded guy than me?
Damn it! Tell me! You can feel free with me!...
- It's that... - Yes...
- Eu... (I...)
I got involved with Xavier...
- You what?
You got involved with Xavier?... You & X... Oh, Pal! Seriously!... David, just tell me one thing:
Do you find this normal? I'm here wasting my precisous time talking to you. I'm telling you to open up your heart... And you're joking with me?!?
Seriously, man! - I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU! DAMN IT!
- What? Wait! David, wait! Come here... Come here...
Just tell me this... Are you talking serious?
You & Xav... ARE YOU GAY??? - Lower your voice, please!
- Excuse me, Excuse me... - I don't know what I am... I don't know... I'm confused. - I'm the one who's confused!
I'm the one who's confused, David!
You've dated Susana, you've dated my cousin... How is that possible? What happened to you?
Explain it to me! I thought you were... more of a man, I guess. - I'm a MAN, Ricardo!
I don't know how to explain what happened...
It just happened, I don't know! - Then, explain me, what happened, man...
- I began to...
Feel myself...
...Attracted to Xavier... And things just happened, pal! I don't know how to explain it better! That's it!
- You went "straight ahead" like that! You "jumped into there" [impossible to translate] BOOM!
- Of course not! Are you mad?
This is all new to me! I don't know how it happened. I just began to feel... I don't understand it!
It's hard to deal with this... - I believe you!
I tried to pretend that nothing was happening... But I couldn't!...
- Pal, I can't belie...
- What's up? - Nothing.
David was telling me about some crazy thing what happened to a colleague of him from college...
I was like... Do you have any requests? - Yes, to table 4 and 6.
- Ok, I'll take these in a little bit. Let it be here. To table 4 is 2 bifanas + 2 beers. To table 6 is bread, butters and...
- Thank you for not telling her! - Sure.
Do you think I would shout it out loud? I wouldn't!
- Be careful. Don't tell this to anybody? Ok? - Sure. Ok.
- Hi!
Can you tell me what's happening here?
Dad's on the living room in a bad mood... Mom asked me to come to have dinner at home...
- Me & dad had a pretty bad fight...
- You & dad? Why?
- Because... This afternoon... I was here with a person... And dad caught us.
- He got upset because of that?
I should have told you about this long ago... But I couldn't find the courage to do it.
- Tell me about... What?
About you bringing girls to this house? I know it already!
- You're not understanding...
The person... Father caught me with...
...Was David.
Did you hear?
I am gay...
...And dad caught me with David.
- Are you being serious?
Man... I can't believe it... You're gay?
You? The stallion hockey player? You're Gay???
- Don't laugh, kid. Stop joking! - Ok, I'm sorry.
- Man, I'd love to have seen dad's face when he caught you guys together!
What were you guys doing, ah?
- Stop being stupid, André!
- Ok, pardon me...
What did dad tell you?
- The worst things you can imagine...
- Que Cena! ("What a movie scene!")
- Is that all you have to say?... "Que Cena!" ???
- What do you want me to say?...
- I don't know... Are you disappointed or something?... - Disappointed???
Why would I be disappointed, man?
I have nothing to do with your life!
I find it a bit weird that you like men... But... If you like men... That's life!
- Are you serious? - Me? Yes!
Did you think I'd be upset like dad? And, is that why you didn't tell me?...
- Yes... - Well...
Then, you don't know you're little bro!...
You know what? Considering all things, I'm just upset 'cause you didn't tell me the truth sooner!
You didn't trust me...
- I was stupid...
I wasn't brave enough... I thought you wouldn't understand...
- You though in the worng way...
We're brothers!
We're supposed to trust each other, right?... And help one another...
Hey! Come on! Don't cry like a little girl! Come on!
- You're an asshole!
You're a cool kid :)
- I know, I know!
I could hug you, now... But...
Considering these last revelations... I better not take that risk!
- You won't hug me? Well, let's see it, then!
- Leave me! leave me! I'll tell dad that you're grabbing me!
- Hey, man! Are you... Are you alright?
- Well, at least I didn't burn anything else! - Wait, David. Excuse me, man...
I wanted to speak to you about... that thing you told me a little while ago...
- Pal, I've told you everything. I've told you what happened.
- I know, man... I know, David...
I'm feeling a bit "Coiso" ("Thing")... I'm sorry! But...
Pal, try to understand. I can't understand none of this. You've always liked girls. You've dated my cousin, then Susana...
How did it happened? Since when did you begin to get interested in guys?
- You won't tell this to anyone! - Of course not, man! But, helpe me!
I just wanted to understand! 'Cause I can't imagine myself liking a man! That's all!...
- I also thought so... But suddenly, things have changed...
This is a big mess on my mind yet. I don't know.
- I believe you. I can't imagine myself passing through a phase like that one.
- I don't know how to deal with all of this... I really don't know how...
I don't know who I am anymore. Suddenly, all my way of thinking has changed! Seriously!
I'm probably... Bisexual... I didn't stop liking girls, suddenly.
But the truth is...
I feel myself totally attracted by Xavier...
In a way that... I've never felt by anyone before!... It's different.
It's good to me, to be with him.
- Now I get... Why you have punched him.
- This is really complicated to me...
I told you because I couldn't keep it as a secret... And 'cause you're a good friend!
- Hey, come on! You know you can trust me!
- I wouldn't like it a bit, if suddenly everybody finds out about this!
I need to solve all of these things inside my mind.
- Of course... I understand... You know...
You can count on me for anything you need.
I mean... "Anything", except... You know, right?
- I know...
- Ok?
- Before you go to bed you must drink a glass of milk. You ate just a little at dinner... - I'm not hungry.
- Mom, did dad told you what time he'd be back? - He'll come back only when he's sure I'm already at sleep... Not to see me.
If it's necessary, I'll move out! I don't want him to stop having dinner with his family due to me. - "Dinner with his family"!
That means "All the family" with no exceptions!
He just went for a walk to clear his mind. I'm sure everything will be calmer, tomorrow.
- I'm not so sure...
He'll take a long time to accept the reality of the facts.
He has always freaked out with new things...
- André is right, mom...
Father is a prejudiced person! - But he's your father.
Give him time and you'll see that he'll end up accepting you.
Believe me, son...
- Have I told you that you're the best mother in the world? You really are!
- That's just because I've got the best children in the world!... - Well, that's actually true!
- Well, I'm going to my room. My head is "exploding". - Do you wanna take a pill?
- No, there's no need. I just need to rest. - Sleep tight, son.
What about you, my son?... My little boy... How are you handling all of this?
- Me?... I'm fine... I mean... I got a bit "dizzy" with this story.
I never thought Xavier could be gay. I've always seen him as a stallion, surrounded by girlfriends... And I was the shy one.
It's kind of ironic... - Don't say that, son. - But, it's true!
Dad always said that he had a son who was a real stallion and that was the most important thing to him...
But in the end of the day... Look: the end up with a sissy son! - André!
- Oh, mother... I'm saying this but I'm fine with it. Seriously.
I have no problems with Xavier being gay. Seriously.
As long as he's alright, I'm alright too.
- Oh, my dear...
When did you find out you were gay? It's for me to be able to recognize the symptoms.
- André, seriously! I've no patience for your jokes...
But, ok... I know you won't shut up. So, if you wanna know: No, you're not gay.
I found out a long time ago...
- But, how long?
I don't know... Around 13, 14 years old... maybe before that...
- Seriously? So long ago?
- Yes. Then, don't worry. You're not at risk.
- I know, man... I was fooling around with you.
Look, to your knowledge... Today, when I was saying goodbye to Daniela, I was brave enough to kiss her!
And I can tell you that I really liked it! Then, I'm not at that risk, I guess!
It seemed like my heart would come out from my mouth and I'd be lying on the floor. I was totally nervous.
- I believe you. - If mom didn't text me to come home for dinner, I'd stay there...
And perhaps, something else could have happened...
- Don't you forget that she's HIV positive. You must be careful. - I know, man. You don't have to say it all the time.
I know about her problem. - I'm just saying 'cause sometimes people forget it, in the heat of the moment.
- No! That won't happen. Don't worry.
I really like her...
I never felt for anyone what I feel for her!
- Well, that's not hard... You never liked any other girl... - That's not true!
- I've liked Mónica, from my class...
- Mónica? From your class when you were 5 years old? That Mónica? - Hey! She was in my class until high school!
I've also liked others... A little bit. - "A little bit"?
- Well, puto (kid)... I don't know if you'll make it (to be able to escape.)
Perhaps you'll find out that you play for my team! - No! Not that! Not at all!
