Megan

I'm a homosexual! I'm a homosexual! I'm a homosexual! I'm a homosexual! Oh my god... they were right. I'm a homo. (cries)

Megan

I'm not perverted! I get good grades! I go to church! I'm a cheerleader! I'm not like all of you!

Megan

I refuse to accept a false solution to my problem. I resist temptation and seek to solve my problem.

Megan

Women have roles. After you learn that, you'll stop objectifying them.

Megan

I need you to teach me how to be a lesbian. What they wear, what they eat, where they live

There's no inappropriate behavior allowed.

Megan

Inappropriate... like swearing?

No, inappropriate like ****.

Megan

Cheers are supposed to be simple, make people feel good.

Cheers make girls do stupid cartwheels. Orgasms make people feel good.

You are who you are, the trick is not getting caught!

Megan

Then why are you here?

I got caught.

Megan

2, 4, 6, 8, God is good...

God is straight!

Megan

Hey, that's good.

Shit, Miss Mary, I ain't the only one who don't got no root.

Andre, we don't use profanity or double negatives here at True Directions.

Jan

Everyone thinks I'm this big **** because I wear baggy pants and play sports and I'm not pretty like other girls. But all I really want is a big, fat weiner up my...

Amen, sister.

Sinead

If that little twink would've narced on me, heads would have rolled.

What would have done? Tied her to your bed and zapped her to death? Or are you running low on batteries?

Megan

You didn't tell me you were taking me to a gay bar!

Where else would we go?

Joel

You're more than just a sissy. You're nice, and clean, and smart... and sexy and firm and luscious and...

Excuse me! The last thing I need right now is some fruit who's just proved himself straight tellin' my ass how sexy I am!

I myself was once a gay. Now I'm an ex-gay, Megan. I work for a place called True Directions who help people, like yourself, to learn to understand the reasons behind homosexual tendencies, and how to heal them.

Megan

What tendencies? Why would you think I'm a...
Megan's Mom: You've been trying to make us eat this tofu.

In diet, watch for a switch to vegetarianism.

Kimberly

You don't have any pictures of guys in your locker, just these. [shows a photo of a girl in bikini]

Mm-hmm.
Megan's Dad: And these. [her parents show a Melissa Etheridge poster and a Georgia O'Keeffe inspired painting]

Sexual, even vaginal motifs in artwork and decorating. Gay iconography.

Jared

You don't even like to kiss me.
Her friends [all together]: It's true.

Megan

I can't believe this.

Denial is a normal part of the healing process that we'll explore at True Directions.

Megan

Healing?
Megan's Mom: Like rehab, honey. Homosexuals Anonymous.

Looks like we got you just in time. What are you? About 17?
Megan's Dad: Yes!

Almost lost her to college. It’s so much harder once they’ve been through all that liberal arts brainwashing, but we’ve saved a few.

Megan, it's your turn to report out your root.

Megan

I think it might be my parents.

Okay, go with that.

Megan

You know we've kinda been like this greeting card family. And then there was that one year where... well Dad was unemployed and Mom had to support us.
Megan's Dad: Wait a minute, that was only for nine months. And then I was offered a much better job at the plant.

Megan

Maybe seeing Mom kind of being the Dad, maybe l maybe I got the wrong idea about the roles of men and women.

Absolutely. I can't believe that you didn't mention this earlier. Your father was emasculated, your mother was domineering.

Megan

Well not exactly.

You wanted to emulate your mother. You have no respect for men, because you don't respect your father.

Larry and Lloyd are ex, ex-gays.

Megan

From True Directions?

Lloyd

We were among Mary's ranks before we defected. We're just trying to provide you all with a balanced perspective, to see that there are options. In the end it's up to you whether choose to live a...

Larry

...lie.

Lloyd

Whether you want to be who you are or keep it hidden, is really more what we're about.

Megan

So you run like, the underground homo railroad?

Megan

1, 2, 3, 4 - I won't take no anymore! 5, 6, 7, 8 - I want you to be my mate! 1, 2, 3 ,4 - You're the one that I adore! 5, 6, 7, 8 - Don't run from me cause this is fate!

Megan, you stop it, this instant! Because you will wallow in the smut of your homosexual depravity for the rest of your life!
