All language subtitles for Queer as Folk s03e14 The Election.eng

She thinks she's so hot.

Not as hot as you. Aw-W.

This used to be such a magical kingdom,

Full of sprites and fairies.

Now, it's like watching "the wizard of oz" in reverse.

Cops in the streets, cops in the bars,

Cops in the clubs.

It's fucking depressing.

Unless you're into cops.

What're you two doing?

What does it look like we're doing?

We're cop-Ulating.

This is no laughing matter. Come on.

This street's a shadow of its former self.

Stop stockwell.

I think he's hot.

I'd do him any day.

Jesus. What do you have to do
to get through to these guys?

Shove up a stick of dynamite up their collective ass?

Holler "bloody murder"?

That's what we've been trying to do.

Thanks.

Stop... stop stockwell.

You want to lend a hand? Stop stockwell.

It's going to take more than that.

Stop stockwell.

Not interested. Stop stockwell!

You got it? Yeah.

Oh-H, how do you stop this thing?

So listen, i've got classes till 5:00.

Coming home after school?

First i've got band practice,

Then suzy and i are studying for the chem final.

Who's suzy? Can't you tell he's bullshitting us?

Sure. So where are you going?

To hang with my friends,

If it's all right with you.

I told them i'm living with two old queens

Who pay me five cs a day to walk around naked.

Yeah, i'm... always bullshitting us.

Actually, that's the truth.

They're jealous as hell thinking i got this cushy gig,

While they're out trying to roll a stockbroker for lunch money.

Yeah, well...

try and remember, dinner's at 7:00.

Ben's making his tofu stir-Fry.

More fucking health food?

All righty.

Look, i'm showing.

And it's sexy as hell.

Oh, you think so?

Mm-Hmm.

You said i was sexy when i was carrying gus. Hmm.

Or was that to make me feel better

Because i looked like a whale?

There's something about a pregnant woman.

That glow.

For me, that glow was nausea.

Hmm, me too...

and yet i crave pizza with pepperoni and pineapple.

Well, that's what i call fast delivery.

Sorry. It's not a pizza.

It's a blanket for the baby.

I got it at this antique store near the gallery.

Yeah, get this out of here.

Huh? Please.

W-What's the matter?

Don't you know it's bad luck to buy something

For a baby before it's born?

Well, how was i to know it was a jewish custom?

I'm just a poor shiksa.

Look, i'm sorry, but you have to take it back.

All right, all right, i'll return it on my way to work.

Em, you're up early.

Hmm, couldn't sleep,

Thought i'd come downstairs, pick up a book.

"Psychology of the vagina"?

Yeah, it's always been on my must-Read list.

Oh, that's mine.

Vic, hi.

Yeah, i'm, um...

i'm feeling a little under the weather.

Do you think you could meet with the, uh, the hilliard-Forde's

To go over the plans for their wild west anniversary?

Thanks ever so.

They want to renew their wedding vows...

on horseback.

Emmett,

Sweetie, you can tell me

It's none of my business and to butt out...

but if ted wants to destroy himself,

That's his choice.

Don't let him destroy you too.

Lindsay, sweetie...

it's none of your business...

so butt out.

Sorry.

It's just... he's my partner.

You know, my pal.

If anyone can understand that, you two can.

Yeah, but still, you got to be tough.

Tough, hmm.

That's what my daddy used to say.

He even bought me boxing gloves

To teach me to be a man.

Hmm. I love boxing.

Of course you do.

I glued rhinestones on them.

Of course you did.

Well, wouldn't your daddy be surprised

To see the man you've become.

I got to hand it to you, brian.

Not many people who just got fired

Would go out and spend $5,000

On a new liquid television.

Well, what better use of my free time than to shop?

I'm jim stockwell, police chief

And coach of my son's basketball team...

what a coincidence.

The first fucking thing you see

On your brand ne.
99-Inch home entertainment system

Is stockwell...

in one of your fucking commercials.

It's not a coincidence.

They're running these spots on every local station.

I should know.

I bought the air-Time myself.

Now his highdefinition ghost

Has come back to haunt you.

It's very dickensian.

Hey.

Maybe this'll cheer you up.

What the fuck is that?

It's a new villain i'm working on for "rage".

His name's razorback.

He's actually a swine. Yeah, i noticed.

Yes, but thanks to a ruthless advertising executive,

He can appear in close-Tohuman form

And he's running for mayor of gayopolis.

Oh, i marvel at how you come up with these ideas.

Mm-Hmm.

He's already mesmerized almost everyone

Into voting for him,

But what they don't know is,

He going to send them to the slaughterhouse.

Holy pork chop.

Mm-Hmm.

So rage has to use his power of mind control

To expose razorback's villainy

And bring everyone to their senses

Before it's too late. Yeah.

That's some story. Mm-Hmm.

If only there were a real rage

To change everyone's mind.

...you can be sure, and as a crime fighter

And a parent is...

if you say it, mean it.

Right, boys?

Right, dad.

I've got exactly 43 minutes

Before i have to get back for class. Okay.

Are you sure we won't be disturbed?

Ah, i called hunter's school and...

mmm, mmm.

And he is in spanish lab as we speak.

Hola.

Bibles or beauty products?

Excuse me?

Time-Share in tampa?

Uh, no, uh, actually,

I'm looking for benjamin bruckner?

Hey, i'm ben. Hi.

Don't let her sell you something

For erectile dysfunction. You don't need it. Shh.

I hope i'm not interrupting anything.

Uh... no.

Um, the principal's office at the high school gave me your address.

Uh, is something wrong with hunter?

Hunter?

You... you mean jimmy?

Is that what he calls himself these days?

I'm rita montgomery. I'm his mom.

He told you that i was in prison?

For killing his father.

Oh my god...

i can't imagine why he would say something like that.

Uh, although i have to confess, i did think of it on several occasions.

You know, he cheated on me and...

he left me with a child and without a cent.

I could barely take care of myself.

I mean, that's why i had to let him go to a foster home.

Ah, i can imagine how difficult that must've been.

Yeah.

I called social services about a year ago

To try and find him, and they told me that he had run away...

and i've been looking for him ever since.

Now you've found him.

Yeah.

I mean, i don't know how he's survived all this time on his own.

He was in pretty bad shape.

Yeah, um...

so we took him in.

You two are angels.

No, that's what you are.

So do you intend to stay in touch?

No, i... i intend to do more than that. I...

now that i have a job and an apartment,

I want him to come and live with me.

And of course, i know it won't be easy and...

i'm sure he's very angry,

But i intend to make it up to him.

It's an interesting tape...

but what i would like to know

Is why you brought it to us,

Considering your former position in jim stockwell's campaign.

I've always had a deep and abiding regard for the truth,

Especially where politicians are concerned.

I realize if this were shown,

It could seriously damage my opponent's position.

It might even lead to a criminal investigation.

Or it might also look like lastminute desperation,

Not to mention damage my reputation if it isn't true.

Councilman... no, mr. Kinney,

I'm sorry. I've run a clean campaign.

Regardless of the outcome, i intend to keep it that way.

Well...

you know, stockwell may be a dick,

But at least he's not a pussy.

With only a few days to go before the election,

Police chief jim stockwell

Is maintaining a slight advantage in the polls.

However, the gap between the two candidates is starting to narrow.

Be sure and stay tuned to our...

hey! I thought you were taking a nap.

Who's got time to nap?

I've got clients to corral,

Concepts to conceive,

Celebrations to create. Huh.

Magic doesn't happen by magic, you know.

That's the spirit, em.

Yeah, well,

I can't let ted drag me down.

I got no choice but to go on.

Hmm.

Hey, mel.

Hello, ted.

Sorry if i came at a bad time. I guess i should've called.

When michael told me you were here, i couldn't believe it.

Yeah, mel and i kissed and made up.

Well, we didn't actually kiss.

Then life with the lesbians

Isn't as horrifying as one might expect?

Look...

why don't you pack your things and come home?

I don't think that's a very good idea.

I know. I behaved abysmally.

There's no excuse...

but you're still my friend...

my lover.

Humph. "Lover".

How i used to love that word.

Used to?

Huh.

Then i guess i better remind you.

You remember now?

You're still a great kisser, ted schmidt.

Time for gus's bath.

Look, i'll stop using, em. I promise.

You promised before. I mean it this time.

You meant it before. But i give you my word,

I swear... yeah, teddy, don't.

Don't what?

Don't say whatever it is you think i want to hear

To get me to come back,

Because i don't believe you.

I don't even think you believe yourself.

So you don't trust me?

Well, have you given me any reason to?

Y... uh... you're an addict.

I'm not an addict.

I'm sorry, sweetie, but it's true.

That's what you are.

And i-If that's what you want to be, fine,

I can't stop you,

But i sure as hell am not going to join you.

Well, someone's been talking to you.

Well... they turned you against me, didn't they?

No, teddy. No one turned me against you...

except you.

Look...

i hope you'll get some help.

I don't need any help, okay?

And i don't need you telling me what the fuck to do.

Don't forget to vote, okay, guys?

Don't forget to vote.

Don't forget...

sunshine, you're supposed to be out front, passing those around.

I found a better use for them.

What the fuck kind of attitude is that?

Realistic.

The kid's right.

If you're counting on this group of apathetic apes, count again.

Well as far as i'm concerned, it ain't over

Until the slightlyoverweight-Butstill-Working-Onit lady sings.

Don't forget to vote.

Don't forget to vote, guys.

Whatever. Take those.

Don't...

what the hell'd they do? Put a sign over the front door:

"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"?

Hunter's mom showed up today when he was at school.

She's planning to take him back.

Even though she knows nothing about him

Or how he's been supporting himself...

or that he's positive.

I understand, sweetheart,

And you've done a lot for that kid,

But she's still his mother.

As much as you and ben care about him,

Nothing can replace a mother's love.

Don't forget to vote.

Yo, turn it on.

Turn what on? The fucking television.

...to be the bestlooking, hardest-Working

Truck on the road today. What?

On april 11, 2002,

Jason kemp, age 19, was murdered,

His body left in a dumpster.

Less than a month after jason kemp's murder,

Police chief stockwell suspends the investigation,

Citing lack of evidence.

Five days later, chief stockwell's former partner

Sergeant kenneth rikert, unexpectedly resigns from the force.

One year later, dna testing links kenneth rikert

To jason kemp on the night he was murdered.

The next day, police sergeant kenneth rikert commits suicide.

Oh my god!

Before you elect jim stockwell mayor,

Aren't there some questions you'd like answered?

This political advertisement paid for

By "concerned citizens for the truth."

Oh my god! Oh, i...

jesus christ.

You know what i'd love?

No, what would you love?

To massage your belly with oil.

Mmm.

Essence of vanilla, mmm.

Orange... mmm.

And rosemary. Mmm.

I'm afraid the only oil we have is essence of olive.

That's where you're wrong.

I purchased the said delight this morning.

Oh, aren't you clever. Mm-Hmm.

Where is it?

In the bottom drawer.

Oh, i'll get it.

Oh, wait, no.

What is this?

I suppose there's no point in using the left-Over pizza excuse.

You told me you'd take it back.

Well, the antique store was closed.

You know the crazy hours those shops keep.

No, i don't want it here.

It's just a superstition.

No, it's not a superstition.

When i was about five or six,

My mom and dad told me

That i was going to have a new little brother or sister.

I remember them fixing up the nursery,

Buying little stuffed animals.

My mother miscarried in her 11th week,

Right before her second trimester.

You never told me.

Yeah, well, she was depressed for years.

Blamed herself, said it was pride,

Thinking that the creation of life

Was up to them, not god.

Well, now i'm in my 11th week.

In a few days, i'll reach my second trimester.

What if the same thing happens to me?

"Concerned citizens for truth"?

Who the fuck are they?

A bunch of lunatics.

A bunch of lunatics with money.

That commercial must have cost them a fortune.

Yeah, five thou every time they run it...

and they'll be running it every hour, up until the election.

If it isn't the widow schmidt.

Fire engine red must be the new black.

I'd appreciate it if you'd spare me the searing wit.

I've been burned enough already.

How about a cosmo?

Now that i... i would appreciate.

Come on.

You want to dance?

Unless your card's full.

As a matter of fact, it's empty.

Huh.

You know, we've never done this before.

It's a shame.

We make such a lovely couple.

We're both... tall.

So why now?

Thought you might enjoy being the centre of attention.

How do you figure that?

You're with me.

You're unbelievable.

I know.

And you also need to move on.

I have.

Then forget about him.

He's dead.

He's not dead.

Well, he will be soon enough.

But that's his problem...

keep dancing.

I don't know how you do it.

It's easy.

Just put one foot in front of the other.

I mean, be so heartless.

Well, it takes a little practice,

But eventually you get the knack.

Well, i could never be like that.

Sure you could.

Well, then go back to him,

Show him how much you care...

and let him kill you too.

I'm going to have babies and take care of them

And give them cod liver oil and watch their teeth grow and...

and if i ever see one of them look at a newspaper again...

i thought tonight instead of, uh, having dinner at home,

Maybe we could go to the shanghai palace

And gorge ourselves on the nine-Course feast,

And then afterwards maybe we could go see the new jackie chan movie.

Think hunter would enjoy that?

Michael.

What?

We have to tell him.

I know.

Hey, pal.

Where you been?

Picking up sunday brunch.

Want one?

Huh!

Yeah, i want all of them,

But i'll refrain.

Listen, we've got some news we've been meaning to tell you.

We've just been waiting for the right time.

Right, michael?

Yeah, well, i guess this is it.

What?

You had a visitor the other day.

What kind of visitor?

Someone who wants to see you very much.

Hunter, your mom was here.

Fuck! How did she find me?

Well, the school gave her our address,

She came to see us and...

shit!

Hey! Whoa, hey!

Hunter!

Hunter!

Christ, jesus christ, you run fast.

What the fuck are you doing?

What's it look like? Getting as far away from here and her as i can.

Listen to me. She said she feels terrible about giving you away.

She's a liar. Don't believe a fucking word.

What about you? You're the one who said she was in jail

For killing your father.

Excuse me, she only stabbed him.

She wants to make it up to you.

Why don't you just talk to her?

Give her a chance.

I'll never go with her.

Hey, take it easy, take it easy.

Don't! Get off me!

Hey.

I-I know why she wants me back.

To supplement her income.

"Come on, jimmy. You live here too.

Gotta pull your own weight.

We all need to work."

Doing what?

Hunter...

It's all right. You can tell us.

"You like young dick?

For 50, y-You can suck it.

For 100, i'll let you fuck me."

You think i'm bullshitting?

Fuck you too!

Hunter, wait, wait, wait.

We believe you.

There's no way...

we're going to let you go with her.

That's a promise, okay?

Okay?

Brian, why're you...

why're you getting rid of your naked guy painting?

And your italia moda sofa?

And your mies van der rohe table?

I thought i'd redecorate.

Something minimal.

Okay, guys.

Something to match my current net worth.

Well, i told you now wasn't the best time...

oh, the tv, too?

Mmm.

Good thing it was liquid.

Brian, if you're in trouble,

I'm sure i could loan you...

$100,000?

How much?

The cost of 20 30-Second prime-Time spots,

At five thou a pop.

You said that was paid for by the...

meet the "concerned citizens for the truth."

You.

Well, who the hell else was going to pay for it?

I maxed out five gold cards.

Those concerned citizens really are lunatics.

I think i'm experiencing possession withdrawal.

I need to lay down.

Good thing you didn't sell your bed.

Sure.

I'd rather sell a kidney.

I can't believe you did this.

It's so... noble?

Out of character.

What made you do it?

Some asshole told me

That if you believe in something strongly enough,

You have to be willing to sacrifice everything.

Hey, sleeping beauty.

I must've crashed.

I'll say.

You've been out for a couple of days.

Oh, shit.

There it is. There it is.

I love it. Oh god, i love it.

You've already fucked him. It's my turn.

Come on. Here i come.

Come on. Get in there. Get in there.

What's everybody watching?

It's a little indy feature.

Not much in the way of production values,

But the performances are fabulous.

Looks hot.

Is hot.

Here we go. Here we go.

There you are. Come on.

Ah.

Yeah.

Go for it.

Ah, very good. Yeah.

Ah, look at that. Look at his face. Ah!

Oh yeah.

You were hot, hot, hot, darling.

How does it feel to be a porn star?

Did you vote yet? Yes, ma'am.

Okay. Thanks.

Did you vote?

You bet, deb.

How about you?

I'm going to. Oh, gosh.

You'd better hurry...

before your food gets cold.

Did you two vote yet?

We're just on our way.

I'd keep your hands off those lemon bars.

Jeez, ma, you want us to starve?

"This establishment reserves the right to refuse service to anyone",

And that includes anyone

Who has not performed the single most important act

Expected of each and every american.

Anal sex?

It's working, deb.

With only a handful of districts reporting,

It's still too early to predict the outcome

Of today's mayoral election.

Meanwhile, in related news, a political advertisement

Airing on local stations is causing a reaction.

That's the fucking understatement of the year.

Chief stockwell, as you know,

There's an ad paid for by a group calling itself

"Concerned citizens for the truth,"

That implies you covered up the murder of a young gay man.

Kelly, i can assure you,

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Then you deny the accusations?

There are no accusations,

Merely insinuations made to discredit me

On the brink of the election.

However, i have every confidence that the voters of our city

Will see through this obvious smear tactic,

And not allow it to influence their decision-Making when they go to the polls.

And i have every confidence that the voters are smart enough

To realize that you are full of shit.

...tonight. On channel 5 we've got you covered.

You put yourself in debt to the tune of...

I can't even say it. I'll have a panic attack.

100,000. Yeah. That's it.

Hey, take it easy.

Breathe deep.

You're selling off your possessions?

The 'vette's next to go. No.

It's just a car.

The car of your dreams.

Jesus, brian. How could you do it?

What, risk everything?

Sometimes, a...

a gay man's gotta do what a gay man's gotta do.

What's the worst that could happen?

I end up with a pack of gum.

Last stick.

What's all this?

Hey, what's the line for?

To vote.

Oh, i thought they were handing out free poppers.

In case you haven't heard, there's an election.

No shit.

Who's running?

Uh, excuse me.

Yes? Hi. Um...

my name is, uh, ted schmidt

And, uh...

i need some help.

My mom was so freaked out about it but...

but there was a line of guys lined up around the block,

Waiting to vote. Same when i was there.

Could not believe it. Yeah.

Jimmy?

Oh my god. Baby?

I barely recognize you.

Look how much you've grown.

You're practically a man.

Come here and give your mom a hug.

Get away!

He's at that age. He's embarrassed by his mother.

That can happen at any age.

Did these two gentlemen tell you that i came looking for you?

I heard.

Did they also tell you that i want you to come live with me?

No fucking way. Mrs. Montgomery,

We've talked it over with hunter,

And we think he should stay with us.

Why should he stay with you?

Because he wants to...

and we want him to.

Well, i'm his mother, and i...

i don't see where you get a say.

Now i say, get your stuff together. We're leaving.

I'm sorry, but after what he told us,

He's not going anywhere.

What did he say? More of your stories?

How you made him work to pull his own weight.

You know, i really don't know what you're referring to, jimmy,

But i do have some idea why you want him here,

And when i tell the authorities that my teenage son

Is living with two fags...

All right, mrs. Montgomery, that is enough.

Now if you do not mind...

you know what? I mind plenty.

And i'm going to come back here with a court order and the police,

And you better get him ready.

Jimmy?

Baby, baby.

Mom'll see you later.

Ted?

Blake?

I, uh...

saw your name at the front desk.

I didn't know if it was the same ted schmidt.

In the flesh.

I, uh...

got myself in a little trouble.

It's... it's okay.

You don't need to explain.

Uh, listen, uh...

i'm going to group.

Did you want to come with me?

Yeah, well you know, i mean, i did...

sign up for the badminton tournament.

You're still funny.

Yeah.

Last time i saw you was...

when you brought me here.

I didn't stay long.

And now you're back.

You could say that.

I guess it isn't easy getting off this.

You'll do it.

This okay? Yeah.

Well, let's get started.

My name is blake

And i'm your counsellor.

Hey. Hi, blake.

We have some new people with us tonight.

I'd like to welcome you and tell you how much i admire...

how much we all admire your courage

In making this choice.

With most of the districts already reporting,

The race between police chief jim stockwell and councilman marvin deekins

Still remains too close to call.

We're going down to the wire on this one, aaron.

I'm fucking out of nails.

Anybody got some i can borrow?

Here, chew on these.

Finally, an act of selfless generosity.

You know what this reminds me of?

Homecoming queen.

There was a lot riding on that election as well.

Waiting all night for the votes to be counted.

Fortunately, i won.

You too?

Not to resort to trite musical theatre references

At the 11th hour, but i've been through nixon, reagan,

Two bushes...

and i'm still here...

and, kiddies, if i can survive all that and more,

We'll survive this, too.

The indomitable spirit of queers everywhere.

Yeah. Hear, hear.

Later on in this broadcast,

Our lifestyle editor, sheila goddard

Will show us what it takes to give a victory party

For a new mayor.

Okay, ma'am. -Shit!

She brought the fucking cops.

Holy christ.

I'm not going with her.

Let's try to stay calm.

Look, you may have to, whether we like it or not.

No way, you promised. Look, tomorrow,

We will get an attorney,

And we'll figure out the best way to handle this,

Right, michael?

No.

No?

Look, you know as well as i do

That if we let him go with her, that'll be that,

'Cause no matter what she did to him, she's still his mother,

And we're the two fags.

So what do you suggest we do?

Come on.

What are you doing?

Leaving.

Michael, you can't.

Look, he's not going with her and he's not going back

To the street. This is not the way to deal with this.

You realize how much trouble we could get in?

Yeah, i realize it, but right now,

I don't give a shit.

If you guys stop to fuck, i'm screwed.

Come on. Michael...

Mic... michael.

Back stairs.

Wait.

What, if you forgot something, just leave it,

There's no time.

Ms. Montgomery, stay behind me.

And, aaron, did you know that for the deekins party

32,000 chicken breasts will be stuffed.

Now that's a lot of breasts.

A few comments on that...

careful, we're on the air.

And we don't want to get off the air,

At least not until after the election.

That's right. Sheila's report is coming right up.

Remember, we're here all through election night

So you won't miss one moment.

This just in. Wit.
84% of the votes counted,

Shhh. Shh. It appears we can now declare

That the new mayor of pittsburgh is...

marvin deekins.

Yes! Yes!

And here's an interesting fact, aaron.

In an otherwise apathetic voter turnout,

Unexpectedly heavy returns from th.
8th district

May have tipped the outcome...

yes! We may be the last vote to be counted,

But we're the vote that counted most.

...must be due in part to the lastminute allegations

That police chief stockwell was involved

In the cover-Up of the murder of a young gay man.

Come on, let's dance.

Damn right we'll dance.

In the street!

Okay!

Let's party!

A word of advice, my sweet emmett?

Mourn the losses because they're many...

but celebrate the victories...

because they're few.

You know, i haven't danced since the last century.

Well, in addition to throwing fabulous parties

And being a world-Renowned master in the art of fellatio,

I'm also one hell of a dance instructor.
