All language subtitles for According To Otto - Wayne Tunks - [AUS 2025] (VO) (EN)

- If you are waiting for me and
the shadows don't show time.

Time, because I'm like the

light and the darkness.

I gotta shine, shine, shine.

I'm not afraid a fighter.

I came

from the, I came like the world up.

So I'm,

I've been searching for so long.

- My name's Otto Brooks and
today's my 16th birthday.

Sweet. 16. And never been kissed.

Well, I, I have been kissed,
but I don't think it counts.

- Hi Otto.
- Hey Melody.

What you doing? Because
I'm ugly, isn't it?

What? No, we're friends.

Definitely not counted.

Mostly because I want my
first kiss to be with the boy.

Newsflash, I'm gay.

Wow, that feels good.
Saying it out loud. I'm gay.

I'm gay, I'm gay.

Of course it's easy saying it's you guys

because I don't know
you, I guess in some way

or another I've always known,

but I was scared to tell people

and I made a promise
that on my 16th birthday,

I tell my family and we
all know what today is

and I have to admit to
being a little nervous.

- Happy birthday matey. 16. So exciting.

Happy birthday, bro.

- A girl's

- Best friend.

I have a pretty normal family.

Slightly insane, but pretty normal.

My parents are really
involved in their kids' lives,

- Right?

Boys? We are nine goals down

and there is absolutely no
way we can win this game,

but we can still have fun.

So remember, let's play as a team.

But if you can kick the ball to Otto,

- He'd love that.

- And then there's mom.

- Love. Watch out Justin Bieber.

That song is amazing.

- We are so nauseatingly normal
sometimes that we find out.

Dad had some strange love child
when he was at high school,

but no, he's just a boring,

I don't actually know what that does.

Every time he mentions
it, I just tune out.

- Oh. So it's pretty exciting.
Every day I blah, blah, blah.

Oh, and here's the great part.
I and the blah blah, blah.

Oh yeah, blah,

- Blah, blah.

So good. Sorry dad.
It's just super boring.

Mom works part-time at the
library ci. I know that.

And she's a great library.
Yes. Very funny mom.

I deserve that sh Then there's my sister,

Ava Ava's 18 and started uni this year.

So of course she can be annoying as hell

- Because the thing is,
have you guys even woken up?

As Karl Marx once said, social
progress can be measured

by the social position of the female sex

- Picked out with a healthy
dose of legally being able

to drink and boys.

And my sister was in heaven.

- I'm not saying I wanna
kiss all the boys at uni,

but a good 20, 25% would
do and don't try and such.

Shame me for having a healthy libido kiss.

That would be sexist.

- Then there's nan dad's mom,
she can't walk, has dementia

and had a stroke, which
left her a shell of herself.

She talks, she just
doesn't always make sense.

Winter is coming

and how it's time to tell
these crazy lunatics the truth.

Wish me luck. Come blow
your candles, mate.

- Hey, yay. Cut the cake and make a wish.

- I don't need to cut the
cake for my wish to come true.

- Why is that? He can't say
his wisher. It won't come true.

- I can say it out loud and it comes true.

What are you talking about? Oh, stuff it

- Everyone.

I'm gay.

What? I'm,

- I'm, I'm gay.

- Are you sure? I don't think
he'd tell us if he wasn't

sure, but you're so young people
have sex before they're 16.

- Do they?
- I'm not saying I did kind of,

or that Otto has either.

- I, I haven't.
- Well, if you haven't been

with a woman, how do you No.

You don't wanna be with one.

Are you telling me to go out
and sleep with some girl? No.

Have you slept with a woman? Mom and dad?

Have you slept with
another man? No, I haven't.

Then how do you know you are not gay?

- Answer your question. I'm sure I'm gay.

- Well, I'm happy for you, bro.

- Thanks Ava. Well mate,

I'm glad that you told us.

- Yeah, Ellen

is, I'm asexual.

- She, she's mom. She is

- Now how to decide
what to do about school.

I go to an all boys school,
which sounds like it'd be fun.

It's not. But there is
one who is my best friend

and if I'm honest, and
what good is net monologue?

If I'm not, I like him. I like him a lot.

His name is Max,

which sounds really good when

said seriously.

Guys, thanks for putting
music to my emotions.

But it's getting old. Maybe
check in later. Sure. Whatever.

- Hey Max, I'm you in the wrong spot?

- No class hasn't

- Started yet.

No. Shouldn't you be,
shouldn't be down the road

of the girls school
with your skirt on you.

Big girl. Yeah. Good one.

Hey, how does it feel

to have everyone in the school hate

you except your boyfriend?

He's not my boyfriend.
As you fags make us sick.

- That's Brady Simmons.

And I'm sorry to say we were
once friends a long time ago.

- Hi Otter. Okay,

- Wait.

Brady, stop playing with
your girlfriend and hurry up.

We got footy trainer.
You're just gonna cry again.

What you did last time you
got tackled you big girl.

- I have to go.
- Yep. Hi, one of you.

Happy Chris. Bad. I passed
the girl here. Whoops.

She's gonna catch you better
than that of the game on

- Saturday.

- You okay? I don't even listen anymore.

Happy birthday by the way.
Let me get you present.

- You got me a present.

- Of course I did. You're
my best friend. Best friend.

Always and forever. Here you go.

If you don't like it, I can always

return it and get you something else.

I'm sure I'll love it.

It's that y know what you
said you wanted to read.

No one else got it for you, did they?

- No. This, this is
perfect. Thank you so much.

I can't believe it. I, I
mentioned it at home all the time

and no one picked up the hint.

I only said it around you once or twice.

- You talked about it five
times on Saturday alone.

- Still you knew I wanted
it and you, you bought it.

You are the best.

- Oh, well the fairies are
gonna make out of a playground.

- Don't make

- Well, well, I have modern history

- Max.

Wait, what I,

I just hope I wanted to say,

- What is it?

- I hope you're still coming
over to my house after school.

Of course. Are you okay?

- Yeah.
- I'll see you at recess.

- Yeah.

- So much for new y. You me.

- Good morning, blah blah,
blah. Kelly speaking.

Well, Kevin, how was Otto's birthday?

- Oh good. Great.

Actually, he opened up and
told us that he was gay. Oh

- Wow.

- Yeah, it was a bit of a shock at first,

but the more I think about
it, the better I feel.

I actually think I'm happy about it.

I have a gay son and I'm proud.

- I've often thought
that I'd be happier if my

Leo came out one day.

- Maybe they could even
end up as a couple.

- I would love that.

Your son seems amazing,
witty, talented and handsome.

- You got that right. He is
clearly my favourite child.

- Oh, did you finish that
report on the blah blah blah,

- Blah, blah, blah.

Okay, so I made this up. I
don't even know what he does.

I told you I'm a blah blah, blah.

As I said, no idea what he
does, but I hope he's proud

and is talking about me in
a good way with that woman.

Mom calls his work wife straight.

People are weird. I love saying that.

I wonder how mom told her
workmates or even if she did.

Geez mom. All right. Even in
my daydream. She's a hardass.

- Thank you. Enjoy. Now we can

finally talk.

- Yeah girl,
- We can talk Alti. No shade.

- I have no idea what that means.

Girl, you cra you lucky you
got a gay son now he can make

you look fabulous, give you
that much needed makeover.

So you think it's a good
thing that Otto has come out?

Look at me. I'm gagging
at the news. This is

- The
- Best thing ever to happen to you.

Maybe you're right.

Also didn't happen. Simon isn't even gay.

Asexual may be, but definitely boring.

Today's conversation
probably went more like this.

There you go. Thank you. Thank you. Enjoy.

- How was your night?
- Okay.

I was playing Fortnite

and then my cat got angry with me,

so we watched some TV
instead. How was your night?

- Fine
- And your morning.

- Fine.
- So we're both boring.

- Yeah.

- Thank God that's over for another day.

I'm glad you're here.
I'm here most afternoons.

I know and I like that.
Me too. Are you sure?

Turning 16 isn't fried your brain

- Positive homework.

Homework.

- Ms. Charmers is such a cow.

We're told that we have
all that mass Homo.

She still sets and essay to write.

They don't care about
ruining our afternoon plans.

And I did have plans.

There's this new Ariana clip
I wanna show you naturally.

- Knock, knock, not interrupting anything.

- Homework.
- Oh,

I thought you might be
doing something else.

- We wish.
- I bet.

- Can I help you?

- Why the look brother?
Something to confess.

- Yeah, I just found that you are adopted.

- I could only wish

- You two are so funny.

I wish my brother and I got on as well,

but he's only into footy beer and girls.

- But you don't like footy beer and girls.

- Well, I never like
sports. Beer tastes yuck.

And the girls my brother
likes we're really cheap.

Maybe you should date him. Ava

- Snap.

I wonder where all this newfound
wit has come from. Or sas.

- You two gonna argue all afternoon

or can we actually do some homework?

- SAS part two. Perfect for each other.

- Can you leave?
- Bye boys. Have fun.

- Fall
- Down the

- Stairs.

That was weird. Yeah. Are you okay?

- Yeah, of course.
Let's, let's do this mats

and then watch the YouTube.

I like the way you think.

- Do you Otto Brooks take Max
Lester to be your husband.

- I do.

- Sorry, blade.
- You boys doing anything exciting? Keep

- Your mouth shut.

Or I'll rip up those festival tickets

you're getting for your birthday.

- Glad you could join us Max.

- Thanks Mr. Brooks. You
guys always make a nice

dinner than my mom.

She hasn't met a can opener

or a frozen meal She didn't like.

Oh, well that's nice, isn't it Kareem?

- Yes.

What was a homosexual?

- Who's Peter Allen.
- Oh, someone before your time.

- A
- Gay icon.

- So how was school
boys? Same old, same old.

- They keep piling on the homework.

I can't believe we still have
a few more years of this.

- Then you have uni.
- Why do you do homework?

- Excuse me? I was doing
homework this afternoon.

- Is that when you were running around the

backyard taking photos of yourself?

- It's for an assessment.
It's worth a lot of marks

- Vanity
- Project.

- There are so many things
I could say right now.

If my festival tickets weren't at stake,

- Then it's best to stay quiet.

- So we're just not going
to utter it out loud ever.

- Not when we have company,
- But we all know those boys

- Eat dinner.

Mothers and daughters. Hey,

- I'd say something but
then I'd be yelled at.

- So who wants to hear about
my day? Oh, thanks. Funny.

Well, it was an exciting
one at the office.

My work wife and I had a big deadline.

We had the blah blah
blah, then blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah blah.

- Andy, you Max Lester. Take
Otto Brooks to be your husband.

- I do.
- And that's

how we say, do you count?

Oh wow. Sounds like a big day.

Also,

- Do a Hi mate.

- So tenner was fun when Max left.

He seemed really confused

because my insane family was
even more insane than usual.

- What is wrong with
you? What? You know what?

I was giving you time, but
you were rude at dinner.

God knows what Max would tell his mother.

- Well, maybe he'll come out too. Would

- It be such a bad thing
if they ended up together?

He's a good kid and
we've always liked him. I

- Liked him when they were just friends.

- So you'd rather he stay single forever?

- No, he's 16.
- Oh. And we were both so innocent at 16.

Good day. I'm Gavin.

When I grow up, I want
to be a blah, blah, blah.

Wanna make you

be,

- I don't want him to be anything like us.

- Well, I think he's a little

revelation on me that he never is

- Not funny.

- So is that your only problem his age?

You, I always thought that you were pretty

cool with gay people.

- I'm then what's the issue?

It's a little bit different
when it's your own child.

- He told us I had a moment

and then I realised
there was nothing I could

do to change him.

And why would I want to?

It's not that black and white for me.

He is who he is and
nothing will change that.

So maybe you need to come
to terms with that fast

- Parent on side.

The other undecided.

- It's cool. Sport or torture
as I like to call it though.

There are advantages to being out here.

Mr. Peters made me my first
crush and I'm not alone.

No sporting prowess and everything.

Why? Failure is somehow very endearing.

This one's for you fairy
boy. That's enough Brady.

Go see this one out. Our
knight in shining armour.

I, I didn't imagine this.

- Oh, that one was all me.

- Was your family all rat last night?

Everyone was being really weird.

- Yeah, I told my parents I was gay

and I figured out I'm madly,

deeply passionately in love with you.

Oh, cool. Good to know.

Okay, so I I didn't
really answer like that

- Was your family all right last night

everyone was being really weird.

- Yeah, mom

and dad are going through
something. It'll all be okay.

- Oh Otto, that sucks. My
parents' divorce was the worst.

- I probably should tell
'em my parents aren't

getting a divorce.

At least I hope they're not. But I can't.

I can barely breathe. He's
touching my hand. God.

I'm as sad as one of those
ladies. Ma Jane Austin novel.

Oh, Mr. Darcy. Hold my hands more.

- Thanks. You are the best

- Gross.

You are holding hands in class ladies.

I bet Max could cry now.
He loves a little cry.

Yeah. 'cause gay boy
Max is pretty pathetic.

He gets any more pathetic.

He's gonna have to enrol the
girl school down the road.

Actually, he'd be happy
there. He could wear a dress.

Tell all the other girls
about his special boyfriend,

Otto. Hey Brady.

- What? You may just be the missing link.

Exactly. I'd call you
when uneducated eight.

But that'd be an insult
to wipes everywhere.

But it's nice to see you've learn

to walk without your hands
scraping along the floor.

Just, what did you just
call me? Oh, Neanderthal.

I can spell it for you.

'cause God knows you won't be
able to. Ah, say that again.

You want me to say it slower?

This pays too fast for
your teeny tiny brain.

- I what? Your mouth. If all you,

- I've always wanted to ask you something.

What? For a straight guy you
seem really obsessed with.

Who's gay? They say
homophobes are secretly gay.

Is that the case for you,
Brady? Well, is it I am not gay?

I'm not Me thinks the lady
does protest too much.

Could I destroy you back away? Brady?

I will not kiss you

stuff it.

How bad could it be to say something?

I will be quiet. Oh,

- What are you doing?

What did you just say to me?

- I told you to be quiet.

I No, I would listening to a girlfriend.

So you call us both girls,

but we're supposed to be girlfriends.

So you're calling us lesbians.
It really makes no sense.

You can't let 'em get away with that.

I have killed for less. All right.

You've killed people, right?

Like I believe that you
should be scared of me.

But the thing is, I'm not anymore. Sorry.

- Brady Simmons. Get your
hands off Otto right now.

- Hey, we're just mucking
around. Isn't that right Otto?

No, he's trying to kill me.

- You little pissed. Go to Mr.
Mayfield's office right now.

- This isn't
- Oh yes it is. Now go.

- Are you okay Otto?
Yeah. Okay, well sit down.

- You know he's going to kill you.

- So today was not a good day.

I may need to change my
undies. Max should be happy.

I think I'll be getting
all the attention now.

Well that is if I make
it through the week.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

- Tell me
- I'm fine.

I was not fine.

- I promise I come in peace.

- Why do you think
there's something wrong?

- You only come out here
when you have a problem.

And then there's that face
that looks like a cat's behind.

- Okay, so maybe something's wrong.

- I knew it. So what's wrong?

You told Max you love
him and he rejected you?

- No. - Why haven't you told
him yet? You clearly love him.

- I never said that.

- I wouldn't have used the word
clearly if you had told me.

It's just obvious.

Like for years shut off.

But you do love him. This is
you coming in peace. Sorry.

Tell me what's happening.

- You remember that idiot Brady? Yeah.

He's just such a douche. He
picks on Max all the time.

So I stood up to him today,
paid a few jokes about him.

He got detention and now wants to kill

- Me.

Oh mate. His sister was in my year.

The whole family are clueless bullies.

- So I'm, I'm gonna die.

Before I've even had my first kiss

- With Matt.

Seriously? Sorry.

Do you want me to go up
there and sort him out?

- Lemme think about that
for exactly no seconds.

No, I'm never gonna let
her in the school gate.

But the thought does
make me laugh a little.

- Hey, beautiful. What are you doing here?

- Looking for a real man. You seen one?

- Yep. Right here.

- Oh, sleep. I said a real man.

Not a little boy who thinks he's funny,

but really he's the joke.

- Should you even be here?
- Who are you?

I'm Otto's sister.

- Oh, that girl. He's dead still
Now. Ready? Crush the gate.

- And you too. If you can't
have an original thought in your

shared brain, maybe you should shut up.

- Me. You should shut up.

- You are totally going
to regret saying that.

- What are you gonna do?

- And don't you forget it?

And you two are next.

- She would do that too.

- Where did you just go then?
- What do you mean?

- We were talking and then
you stop and start smiling.

You are suck your weirdo.

- Gee, thanks.
- Lovable. But still a weirdo.

- You maybe, right?

- So what are you gonna do
about the knuckle Jagger?

- I, I think avoidance is

key. There

- You go.

What did you get up to last night?

- The usual cooked dinner.

My cat didn't like it

and then started sulking
until I made something else.

- You and your cat eat the same meal?

- No, I had baked beans on toast.

She got fish and then chicken.

She's very fussy. She's a cat.

I know The best one in the world.

- Hey mom Otto, what are you doing here?

- I wanted to borrow some books

and man, look like she needed
to get outta the house.

- Rock had some water. I homosexual.

- Yes. He was very tragic life.

- Listen Simon, can you go

and do a check at the back
of the nonfiction area?

Make sure those teens
aren't making out again.

- I get all the glamorous jobs.

- Thanks. Is your grandmother
gonna say anything other than

running through the entire
list of gay celebrities?

- My Tina never wrote the homosexual.

- I guess not. So what
books did you wanna borrow?

These Holding the man, the life

of Elton John Raising a gay son.

- They were for
- You. I don't need any books then.

Maybe some pamphlets. I don't
need any pamphlets either.

- I just need time.

Okay. Elton John is

a homosexual.

- You did what? And then
there was quiet. And Nancy.

Elton John was a homosexual. Elton

- John is a homosexual.

- Oh ot. You should have just let us stew.

Your mother's always been like this.

She has a problem and she
needs time alone to process it.

I, I heard you fighting with her about it.

I've known your mother a very long time

and I know how far to push

and not have her come back at me

with the ferocity of a bear.

I, I'm sorry. It's okay.

I understand why you're
anxious. I'm anxious too.

But just let me deal
with your mother. Yeah,

- Yeah.

- And you stop pretending like you don't

know what you're saying.

- Adam Lamb, I'm a sexual,

- That's what I'm talking about.

Okay, we get it. You're fine with it.

But that does not mean that you need

to fly your rainbow flag every time.

There's an awkward pause.

- Freddy was a harm sexual.

- She has to run outta gay
celebrity sooner or later.

I don't know. There's a lot
of us out there, isn't there?

Na,

- I'm the

homosexual haven.

Had a family game night in such a long

time that I thought it was time.

Simon was telling me
about this great game.

He said he played it with his cat.

Not sure how that's possible,
but still it sounded great.

Otto, you read the rules
and we'll get started

after dinner. Have you
started anything yet? I

- Was just about to.

- Oh, don't worry. Let's order pizza.

And I bought snacks
stuff. The diet tonight.

Let's have a family night.
Otto. You read the rules.

Gavin, call for a pizza or
do it online or on the Apple.

Whatever you want. I'll
call Ava. Ava, come on up.

We're ordering pizza. We're
gonna have a game night.

- You may now kiss your husband. There are

- So many snacks now how do you decide?

So I bought a few different ones just

in case you wanted to try them.

Now I can't remember. Otto,

is your favourite chicken
or salt and vinegar?

Salt? It doesn't matter. I've got them

- Both games.

Night and junk food. Oh, it's bad.

- Whatcha talking about
silly? I just wanna spend

some family time together.

Is there anything wrong with that?

- Don't foster

- Now.

Call me if you need me to bust some heads.

- Sure. Here we

are at school again.

Well, the front line is,
may need to be called

because today could be a war zone

a's being strangely nice to me.

I think she likes having a gay brother.

I bet everyone at uni knows

she's probably being
really annoying about it.

- So I just got back from
dropping my brother at school.

Did I tell you he was gay?

- Yep. About 20 times yesterday.

- Well, I'm really proud of
him. You are a good sister.

Thanks cloud. I'm just really

happy to support my gay brother.

I think we should all
support the LGBT community

more and bye.

This isn't about you Reggie.

- Well, it's your brother actually. Cute.

- No, Reggie, not for
you. He has a boyfriend.

Well, he will if he
ever gets off his behind

and does something about it.

- Oh, this is my fantasy.
You can't go for me here.

- Sexuality is so boring. We are people.

- That's the only label we
should be burdened with.

- Shut up. Cloud. I
can't really fault over.

She's been great these last couple days.

Now last night. That was weird.

- I, okay, Gavin struck out.

So you and Ava are three points behind.

Looks like you and me. Otto.
The winning team, Troy.

But it doesn't matter. It's
all fun. We win this one.

You guys can win. The next one.

- We have to play again.

- Well, we've only played six times

and it's even through
all we need a result.

Do the Olympics finish on a
draw? No. No, they do not.

So now I need

to eat all this food because
I'm back on my diet tomorrow

and I'm not taking it to work.

Well, Simon will give it to his cat

or something silly like that.

- What the hell are you doing?
- Demonstrating.

I am really bad at self-defense.

- Really bad.
- How are you? It's clearly

- Better than you.

- Have you seen him yet today?
Not with my mad ninja skills.

Hey. Yeah.

There's a something I wanted
to tell you. What is it?

Wow. This is much harder
than I thought it would be.

What's wrong? And this was the moment,

the moment I would tell Max I was gay.

And who knows? Maybe we
confess my un undoing love.

Get the sweeping soundtrack ready.

'cause who knows, this
may be a love story.

There she is. Dead man walking. The

- The teachers are everywhere.

No, there aren't. They
never come near the lockers.

- I can run and get one.
- You'd probably be dead by then.

- Listen, I'm, I'm sorry for
what I said. Oh, bet he is.

That's are smart. Today.

Are you, if I'm going down, I may

as well go down spectacularly.

No, I, I am smart today.

Well, certainly smarter than
you every day of the week

and twice on Sundays.

What? There's one of those
we're torture famous for.

I've shut up listening of your boyfriend.

What are you gonna do? Hit me.

You, you'll get in so much trouble.

And look, I know you're
stupid. Could you really be

- That stupid?

So I'm about to get hit

- In a few moments before.

I honestly thought he wouldn't do that.

Maybe I'm not so smart after all. Okay?

I to prepare yourself.
This is going to hurt.

- Oh my God. Brady
Simmons. Get away from him.

You're in so much trouble.
I didn't do anything.

I saw you punch him. I felt
it. Are you all right? Or I

- Wouldn't say what's word I'd use.

- Why would you do this Brady?
He caught me dumb. Oh, what?

So hitting him to way to prove
him wrong. He started it.

You wanna be next? Whoa. Are
you seriously threatening

another student in front of me
after what you've done today

and what you did yesterday?

- He shouldn't call me dumb.

He has been teasing us for years.

He calls us both gay and it's not true.

- Well,
- What

- For me, it's, it's true.

- What are you
- Saying

homosexual?

I am a homosexual.

- Our final contestant is
16 likes internal monologues

and recently came out of the closet.

Please welcome Otto Brooks.

Question one. Should Otto
kiss max contestant one?

Yes. Correct. Otto should kiss Max.

- Ava

- Ready? Okay.

- K-I-S-S-M-A-S.

What does it spell? Kiss Max.

- Well, mom, what's going on?

What's going on is that the
library has received the

best book ever made.

It's called Kiss Back.

- A kiss is still kiss

I I don't understand Kiss Max.

Hey, I

- Know she kiss Max.

- Yeah,
- I

- Do it.

Kiss him,

kiss him,

- Kiss him, kiss him, kiss him,

- Kiss
- Him.

- So are you gonna kiss me

- Otto?

That's not really appropriate.

- Come in
- Mr. Mayfield. Otto's father is here.

- Tell him to come in,

- Mate.

Are you okay? Oh my God. I'm, I'm okay.

Mr. Brooks, take a seat. What happened?

Well, I was, no, no mate, don't I

want to hear from the principal.

I wanna find out why my son is sitting

here with a black eye.

Has he been seen by the school nurse?

- Of course she had a look. But he doesn't

seem to be concussed.

- Yeah, but she's not a doctor.

- No.
- So what happened?

- There was an altercation between Otto

and another student who? Brady Simmons.

- That little knuckle dragger.

I thought that your school had
a zero tolerance to bullies.

Or is that just an empty
catchphrase? Of course we do.

There's no proof that Brady is a bully.

I don't think he hides things from me.

But even I know who the school bully is.

And I'm sure if we got young
Max Lester's mom up here,

that she would back me up.

I don't think that's necessary.
He's been teasing Max.

And what now he's decided it's Otto's

turn. Has he been suspended?

- His parents have yet
to come to the school.

They're trying to get away from work.

- So that's a
- No. We have yet to get the whole story.

- Did Otto throw a punch?
- No.

- Then it seems pretty simple to me. Brady

- Says Otto was taunting him.

Who was standing up for
myself for once. Ms.

Jama says you were
taunting him yesterday in

class when he tried to choke him.

- Well, well he tried to
choke my son yesterday

and he was allowed back at class today.

Are you, and I wanna swear
here, but I won't kidding me,

- Brady was put on detention.

But he says he was defending
himself against Otta.

- Seriously, look at him.
No offence man. Untaken.

Does this look like a kid

who could physically harm some
big football playing thug?

And really? Isn't that
what this is all about?

We all know he is not at this school

for his academic achievements.

And I guess we're not
gonna suspend the captain

of the winning football team.

- Hang on. I resent that implication.

- Oh, struck a nerve. Did I,

- Brady will be dealt with.

There will be no consideration
for his football endeavours.

But there is another matter
that he's dealing with here.

Mr. Brooks. And what would that be?

Your son's sexuality?

- I beg your pardon?
- I break

- Homosexual actually Mum,
I think he was bisexual.

I was still take it.

So what does my son's sexuality
have to do with anything?

So, you know. Oh, so you
thought you'd just surprised me

with the news while my
son sits here injured

and his grandmother sits in a wheelchair.

You thought that would be okay?
I just wanted to make sure.

Well then yes, I know.

And just for the record, very supportive.

TA is a rockstar.

- Brady is a alleged that he punched Otto

because Otto came onto him. What

- Gross I I would never head
- On him.

Oh, he says you're dead and he

- Snapped.

That's, that's crap. Well it is crap.

I doubt for a single moment
that a boy that is just coming

to terms with his sexuality,

he's gonna walk into a very
heterosexual schoolyard

and just hit on the captain
of the football team.

It sounds ridiculous and
borderline in insane.

None of the things that my son
is actually, you know what?

Even if he did hit on him, so what

- Dad?

- No, no, no, no, no. At a co-ed school,

if a guy comes onto a girl

and she says no, is she
allowed to punch him?

Or vice versa. If a girl
comes onto a male student

and he's so offended, is he
allowed to just, you know,

soccer in the jaw?

It's slightly different.
No, it's not really.

And the gay panic defence
isn't legal in this state.

- We are a private Catholic

- School.

Do you know what my job
is? A blah blah blah.

I work with a lot of lawyers

and they say to me, Hey Gavin
mate, you ever need a lawyer?

Then I am here for you. Sure.
One come to that. No, not.

Have you stopped victim blaming

and suspend that thug like you should.

And let's just drop the notion

that my son could have any interest in

that neanderthal piece of garbage.

'cause let's face it, my son
is gay. He's not desperate.

Mom is a homosexual. Oh,
you've got that right Mom.

We're gonna take you to the hospital

and get you checked out by a doctor.

And if there is anything seriously wrong,

we will be calling my lawyer friends.

Oh, Mr. Mayfield.

- Yes.
- You better suspend that homophobe

because you do not want me
to come to this school again.

I have been polite this
time. Next time, not so much.

- She
- Wasn a homosexual.

You tell him, mom, let's go Otter,

- Let
- You.

Sure.

- Yeah.
- My mom's

here. She's parking the car.

- I sometimes find it hard
to believe you were once

my best friend.

- It was a very long time ago.

- Yeah. 'cause I could never imagine

that kid punching me in the face.

You called me dumb.

You have teased me and
my best friend for years.

And you play the victim
card. There were jokes.

No, a joke means we
would both find it funny.

It is small minded bigotry
from someone without any clue.

Here's the thing, you used to scare me.

You used to intimidate me.

But today you punched me and I feel fine.

I feel good because I survived.

And people saw you for the
violent bully. You really are.

I'm no longer scared of you.

And if you even come near me

and my best friend again,

I won't be running to the principal.

I'll be calling the cops. Let's go.

- Tony Soprano was a mobster.

- Yes, mom. He was.

- Oh, I think I need to vomit

- Now.

We're at the hospital. I
don't really need to be here.

Feel fine. But there's no telling dad.

- So I just spoke to the doctor

and he doesn't think
you have a concussion.

But after speaking to him again, he agrees

that you need an MRI and a CT scan.

Now I've just gotta chase
up that eye doctor. Oh, Dr.

Singh, can we talk about auto?

- Oh, Dan, did I just
make a massive mistake?

Should I have stayed in
the closet until uni?

My 30th, my deathbed life

- In my good box box of chocolates.

- Yeah. And I get stuck
with the horrible flavours.

Everyone at school's
gonna hate me now. Stupid

- Is a stupid does
- Stupid coming out.

- Jenny. I

- May not a smart man.

What am I gonna do? What I know what

- Love is.

That has always been the best.

- Okay, Otto. I think today we
should make a chocolate cake

and then we eat it.

Because if you make the
cake, you get to eat

as much as you like.

Yay. Yes. I used to go to
her house after school.

Let's go on an adventure

and over two hours to
your parents pick you up.

We could get into a lot of
trouble between now and then.

I sometimes wonder what she's thinking.

I remember so much about my life.

I just don't remember
when I moved in with Gavin

and his family and the kids.

They've got so big. When did that happen?

I think Ava's at uni now Uni

and Otto has become a

beautiful young man.

Did I know he would turn out to be gay?

The grandmother knows nose.

He was so gentle and sweet and kind.

I always suspected I'm a Christian

woman and I know God makes no mistakes.

He meant for Otto to be gay

and he meant for me to love him

with all my heart.

- Fells. Don't drink the coffee.

You'd never guess there's a fish

in the percolator.

She's dead.

- I miss the old man.

- Oh, Otto. Thank God. You're all right.

- You are hugging me.
- Yes idiot.

You are my brother and
I love you douche bag.

I can't believe that piece of garbage

touch you. I'm gonna kill him.

- Hey, if anyone gets to
kill that kid, it's me.

- Mom said knock you out.

Well, I'm glad he's all
right. He is all right.

- Yes, they did all the
tests, literally all

- The tests - I needed to
make sure that you were fine.

- Can I, can I please go to my room?

I've spent far too long with you people.

- Can I make you a drink?

One of those banana smoothies you like?

- Oh, I can, I can whip up some afternoon

tea, some sandwiches.

That chocolate cake your nan's
famous for. I'm fine. I I

- Just wanna lay down.

- They checked him for concussion.

- Yes. Several times. I'm, I'm fine.

- This is Matt. Don't leave a message.

Text like an normal person. Even you

- My
- God, Otto.

God, I so worried about you. Kill him.

That's what I'm gonna
do. We've got it covered.

Are you okay? Look what that loses done

to your beautiful face.

I'm okay mum, I'm your mother

and I'll be the judge of when you are

fine and when you're not.

- Well the 350 something
doctors, dad made me see.

All agreed. I was just fine.

- Well, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Yeah, that's what I've been
telling you all afternoon.

I, I kept thinking about

what would've happened if I'd lost you.

- Seriously. It was one
punch. I I barely felt it.

- No, but parents worry.

You'll understand when you have, if you

or want to, I don't know.

When you love a man

will understand you worry
about those you care most about

- Is she's saying what
I think she's saying.

- And today, when I
thought about losing you,

I couldn't believe how stupid I was being.

If something bad had happened to you,

I would never have forgiven myself

for not being a hundred
percent supportive.

And then I thought, why was I even worried

I was being stupid?

Completely stupid.

So auto, I'm sorry.

And I'm just gonna say what
I should have said when you

first told me, I love you.

I have always loved you and
I accept you as you are.

- Well Corinne, it warms my
heart. Dare you say that.

- I am so overwhelmed

and I'm gonna hate myself in the morning,

but, well this is just awesome.

- Okay, so is this everything
I wanted? Of course it is.

Is it also maybe wanna
vomit in my mouth a little?

You betcha. What is it about
parents being really lovely?

That just makes us feel a little yuck.

- I know Nan, I know

- In the,

- Do you Max Lester Take Otto
Brooks to be your husband.

- What? No, I'm not even gay. Cloud.

Let's go. Beautiful.

- Max. Wait.
- If you

somebody like your body, lemme know,

can promise this is the last
time when the cloud are sail.

I'll be gone. I'll be gone.

Just gimme two

more then I'll let you go.

I'll let you tired of talking about it

and don't No, if this

don't

fault.

- Hey. Hi. Are you okay?

You can, doctor said I'm fine.

- Good.
- You okay?

- Yeah, of course. Why?

It's just I didn't hear
from you yesterday. Sorry.

Class got crazy

and then everyone was
trying to get gossip off me

and then I had to go to my auntie's

after class and we had dinner there.

Just a busy day. Cool.

And you'd be okay? Yeah.

Listen about what you said the other day

or yesterday about being gay. Yeah.

- Not so how are you?
I'm fine. Good to hear.

We're all worried. Thanks.

You can tell your dad that
we've suspended Brady.

You could call him and tell him.

No, I think you can share
the good news with him.

- For how long, sorry? How long
has he been suspended for a

- Week.

Seriously? Yeah. Brady's very sorry.

He's missed a big game this week.

We thought it was a fair punishment.

Fair punishment for a hate crime.

- Dad's gonna love this.

- That a very harsh word with Brady.

His parents agreed and I
threatened him with expulsion.

If he touches you again. Threatened. Yes.

- Well I'll make sure to tell Dad.

- Okay. I better get back to
my office. I a good day boys.

- I think dad's gonna be making
another visit to the school.

I would love to see that.
He was hilarious. I bet.

Now were you gonna say?

- Yeah, I was surprised when you said it

and I wanted to say,

- Oh Otto.

So good to see you.

- Hi Miss Charmers.
- How are you feeling?

- The most honest question
right now. Probably should get.

I'm fine. Sign around my neck.

- Well you still have your humour.

That's a good sign apparently.

See Anyway, I'm so sorry
about what happened.

I felt so ill yesterday

and I was so angry with myself

for not stopping it and for not knowing.

He was picking on you for being
gay. So angry you did that.

Thanks. You know,

my best friend in high
school ended up being gay.

I have a number of gay friends.

I've even been to gay clubs
and of course I voted. Yes.

I'm very tolerant and
just know I'm here for you

for anything you need.

- Cheers.
- Because as far as I know,

you are the only gay
student here at this school.

Unless there are others I dunno about.

So if you're feeling isolated or alone

or just need a friend.

I am an ally.

Hey, I could even put a rainbow flag on

my desk if that helps.

- It really wouldn't. Oh,

- Okay.

Well just know I'm here
if you need to talk

or if you wanna gimme
fashion advice, whatever.

- Maybe we can listen
to some gaga together.

- I love that.

Well I'll leave you boys
to whatever you were doing.

See you in class friend.

- Oh my God. How tragic is she?

Everyone's gonna think
we're a couple. You are gay.

Congratulations. But I'm not. I'm not gay.

I have to get to modern history.

- Don't cry.

Don't cry,

don't cry.

- You okay?
- No.

- What happened? They did
suspend that knuckle dragger.

- Yes.
- Then what is it?

- You were wrong. Well you were right.

I you do like Max. But you
were wrong about telling him.

- You told Max you loved him.

- I didn't get a chance.

He was too busy telling
me how he wasn't gay.

Made that very clear.

- I'm so sorry mate.

- And then you barely talked
to me all day at recess.

He made sure we were
sitting with other people

and then at lunch told me
had to go to the library

and finish off an essay.

I think we just lost My best friend

should just kept my stupid mouth shut.

- Maybe he just doesn't know how he feels.

- He does me how he feels. He hates me.

- No he doesn't.

It was probably a shock for
him learning like that. But

- What if I lose him?

I can handle him not wanting to be my,

my boyfriend or whatever.

But I can't not have him as my friend.

- Give him time to
process how he's feeling.

- I should just get my stupid mouth shut.

- Hey, no, what you did was right.

There's a reason they call it the closet,

but it's a dark place
where you hide things

and no, there's no such thing as nanny.

Just secrets. Regrets and dark.

- You've been doing a creative
writing class, haven't you?

- Yeah. Any good?
- A little too dramatic maybe.

- Yeah. That's what my lecturer says.

But I'm an 18-year-old girl.
I'm all about the drama

- Apparently. So am I.

- Yours isn't drama. It's
love. And that's always hard.

- Seriously, why are
you being so nice to me?

Suddenly? Am I also dying?

- I'm your sister. When you
are down, I'm there for you.

And when you feel good,

I will always bag the hell out of you.

So if things change tomorrow

and Max tells you he loves
you too, I can promise you

that I'll be very happy in secret.

But we'll make 150 really
lame jokes at your expense

- And tomorrow hope you
calling me all kinds of names.

- Me too, brother. Me too.

- Do you like ham?
- What?

- Damn.
- Do you like it? I suppose?

What's your favourite? Sorry?
What's your favourite ham.

Do you like soccer ball? I
do. I love soccer ball ham.

- Hey, hey.

- Hey Max.

Well I better head to the
canteen and order some lunch. Ham

- Sandwich.

- Oh you know it.

You know about the ham.

- We had to do a modern
history assignment together.

- Lucky you.
- Yeah.

So you are replacing me with ham Harley.

No, but I was

- Alone and he
- Came and sat with me.

I'm sorry.

- No, I'm, I'm sorry.

I could have chosen a better
way to come out to you.

- No, you can come out however you like.

I, I'm glad you told me.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. I was just thinking about me.

People have called me gay for
so long and I'm not. I'm not.

And I was worried

that when heard you were gay
they'd just assume I was too.

- If anyone asks, I'll just
tell 'em you're not good.

Thanks.

- So we're still friends.
Of course we are.

Everyone else in the
school still sucks. Good.

- Because I gonna have another
conversation about ham.

- Yeah, I totally get that.
- And you are still

coming over this afternoon

- If you'll have me.

Of course.

- Good. Good.

- We're we're best to
stay down here today soon

as no one else is home

and we need to keep an eye on, on Nan.

Good idea.

- And - Then the hours flew
and it all felt normal again.

Enough homework. Some tv.

- That's so raven.

- Indeed it is. Nan. Indeed it is.

It was all perfect. Two.

- Perfect.

Really. Let's go guys.

Max, you're here.

- Yeah. Usually here a few
times a week. Of course you are.

I can watch Nan if you boys
wanna go to your room. I

- We're fine here. Thanks.

- Want me to take Nan for
a stroll around the block?

- No what Nan's happy here And
we're happy having you here.

Whatcha talking about will see.

So why you go up to your
room and leave us? Oh

- Yeah.

I do have an essay due tomorrow

so maybe I should start it.

- Good idea. Max.
- You're here.

- Yep.
- Oh, I'm seeing you in a few days.

I'm so glad you're here.
Bet you are. Happy Otto.

Now right this second. Yeah.
Right. Ada, grab your Nang.

We're gonna go for a
walk around the block.

- You're terrible Muriel.
I don't know if that's

what Otto wants. Well I think

- We all know what Otto wants.

- I should not have said that out loud.

What OT wants is for everyone
except Nan to get out.

Get outta my dreams. Get into my car.

Really? Nan you too.

- Okay. I'm making this
worse sir. I'll start dinner.

Pretend I was never here.

- You weren't ever here. Exactly.

- I know.
- Am I imagining this?

- God
- No.

- Your mother and I had our
first real talk at work.

- I feel like we're actually friends now.

- Definitely. Your mom came to me

and told me that you were gay.

She was so proud. Really.

- Of course. - And for the
first time I felt comfortable

telling her that I was too.

- We kind of all knew it.
- Well

- I - Didn't then I also felt
comfortable telling her that.

Yes, I do spend most
nights at home with my cat,

but I am also one of this
city's best drag queens.

- Really?
- Yes.

Named after my one and
only cat lady. Meow. Meow.

- I've seen
- You. You're fabulous.

- Of course I am.
- Work is gonna be so much more fun now.

- Yes it is. And look,

gays are bringing people together again.

- You did this Otto.

- And who's this? Is this your

- Best friend?

It's my best friend Max. We're friends.

- Oh, how about we all
continue this little

party in the front room.

I

- Party like
- Less

- Club
- Party.

Hello? Hey. Sorry to just bar in.

No one answered the door.
And I heard a party going on.

I came to throw that game Gavin,

for our family's games night.

- Oh, hey Eliza. No party.

- Well it kind of is a
coming out party for ot. Oh

- God no.

- Yes. Your dad told
me. Congrats on being so

- Young and so brave.

- This isn't another
really vivid daydream.

- Afraid not. And this must be your

boyfriend Max Dad.

- Okay. Maybe I said
more than I should have.

- I think I should go home.

- Max. I'm I'm sorry. I'm

- So We're not going to have a party.

- Shut up Lady. Mia

- Max, please just,
just stop a second, max.

I'm, I'm, I'm sorry. I
I didn't mean it. Okay.

Please just, just wait a sec. No,

- I wanna go home.

- I never told anyone
you were my boyfriend.

- No, I know. They just assumed
it like everyone always has.

- The only thing I want
from you is to be my friend.

- That's it. I just

- Dunno anymore.

Max, max

auto

- Mate.

Are you okay? Go away.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Leave me alone.

- Otto. Hi. Hi. Mrs. Lester. Is Max home?

- No. No. He and his
brother went out. I'm sorry.

I'll be sure to tell him you stop by.

- Thanks.

- That is the last time I lie for you.

- I know, I know. Max is here
and I know he's listening.

I, I am sorry. No, no I'm not.

I'm I'm not sorry.

'cause I've done nothing
but be your friend

and even when you're angry with
me, I am still your friend.

And that's all I want. Friendship.
I want to be your friend.

- Thank you. I think we all
really needed to hear that.

- Thank you. And tell Max
I'll be at school tomorrow

in our usual spot.

And I hope he is too.

- Max. What is going on?

Nothing.

- You

so wrong.

- I want chapter 10. Read by tomorrow.

- Recess. Time to get a hand sandwich.

- Hey Otto. Hey. Hey.

So Max, you guys a couple or right now?

I don't even think we're friends.

Told you you owe me 10 bucks.

So first day back you
get payback on the ferry.

- Yeah. Jam is gone.
You can get him. Good.

Do you two want me
suspended again? Idiots.

- Surprise.
- I didn't think you were coming today.

Sorry. I had to talk
to my mom this morning.

Are you still friends? Of course we are.

Good. I'm sorry for what
I said the other day.

- I didn't mean it. You had
every right to be angry with me

and my stupid family.

- Was everyone saying all those things

because you like me Max, please.

I, I need to know.

- I don't. You hate
- Me. I could never hate you.

- You might.
- So I guess that answers it. I guess.

Say it. Do you like me?

- Yes.
- Good.

- What?
- Because I like you too.

- You do.
- I have been so scared for

so long about how I felt and Brady

and everyone like him made
me feel like it was wrong.

Like I was wrong. You are not.

I know now.

I told my mom this morning that I was gay

and my meathead brother

- Mate, you have to tell us what's wrong.

We are worried about you. Why
are you fighting with Otto?

You guys have never had a fight.

- I'm gay. Okay, so you
can go ahead and hate me.

All you like

- Mate.

I am so proud of you.

- No one thought you were straight bro.

So are you and Otto doing the dirty boy.

- Seriously. You guys make the best couple

you have to make up.

- When I heard you say it, I
was so happy but so worried.

It was like everything I wanted

that everything I was afraid of.

And I was ready to tell
you I think at your house

then everything got insane.

- I'm sorry.
- No, I think I needed that.

The jolt to push me to make it. Okay.

And it is. Okay.

- So back up a little. You,
you said you liked me too?

Yeah. As in a boyfriend kind of

- Way.

As in a boyfriend kind of way.

Good.

You sure about that?
I don't care who sees.

I want them to see. I'm not afraid anymore

- What's going on.

We knew this was gonna happen
so we came to celebrate.

We're just so happy for you both. I

- Told you bro.

Proud of you both.

- Get dad man
- Bro,

- I love you always forever.

And you were born this way

- Simon.

That's lady meow. Meow to you boo.

- What do you want? I came to
apologise 'cause I was wrong

and guys deserve to love each other.

Oh, one more thing. I am a stupid idiot

who will know doubt be a loser
for the rest of his life.

And there's a big possibility

that my own hatred stems from unresolved

sexuality issues of my own.

Wow. Who knew?

I could say so many words
without many syllables.

- Let's dance.

- Okay, so clearly none of that happened.

But now you're wondering
did Max really kiss me?

Look at this smile. Of course he did

- Use me keeping us.

It's not your duty.

I'm is the CE

and the little things away.

But every element was telling

away,

if you wanna join me I

to

cloud and the

birds, they'll to

cloud the and

but Element was telling me I should stay.

I tell

you then I

it me time to realise

that the enemy is in mind.

So

still atmospheres shines and alive.

So thought I'd be here

high

if you.
