KIMBERLY: You broke up with him
because he bit your lip?

LISA: I broke up with him
because his slobbering kisses

would leave saliva
all over my face.

Him biting my lip
was just the last straw.

Teach me to go out
with a sophomore.

Billy can kiss. That much I'll give him.
The boy can kiss.

The best kiss I ever
got was from Stevie Neill.

What?

Okay, he may look like a gerbil, I know.
But he has got unbelievable lips.

And the most talented tongue
I have ever felt.

Okay, are we done studying or should
we go over the chronology charts again?

Finished. I need sleep.

You know, sometimes I wish...

I could put Stevie Neill's mouth
on Jimmy Berlutti's face.

Have you kissed Jimmy?

No, he's too shy
because of his braces.

Oh, yeah.
One day in class he yawned,

and this elastic shot out

and hit Tracy Field
right in the eye.

Now he doesn't even
smile anymore.

You ever kiss a girl?

(LAUGHING) What?

Well, I was reading this article about
girls kissing girls.

Have you ever?
No. Have you?

No. But I do get curious.

They say it's very erotic.

You want to try it?

I don't know. It seems weird.

Look who I'm talking to.

I keep forgetting, not everyone's
as adventurous as me.

I'm adventurous,
but I like boys.

Well, so do I.

But don't you wonder
sometimes?

No.

Maybe.

I'm game, if you are.

We don't tell anybody?

Of course not.

Okay, okay, okay. Okay.

Did you feel anything?

I was trying too hard not to laugh.
Me, too.

Look, if we're going to do this,
we should do it for real.

Otherwise, what's the point?

Okay, let's just relax.

Okay. Relax.

I'm relaxed.

KIMBERLY: Pull down the shade.
Let's make it dark.

Okay.

Wow. That was interesting.

Yeah.

Interesting.

Maxine, Kenny, get in here.

Sit down.

Did we do something wrong?

No.

Mayor Pugen wants me to
appoint an undersheriff

in case something
happens to me.

What's an undersheriff?

Second in charge.

Assumes all duties, should the sheriff
become incapacitated.

Regulation 3C2 requires it.

I've been meaning
to say something.

Well, the mayor's already
said something.

He basically has ordered me
to bring somebody in,

but I thought, since you two
are my ranking deputies,

I would consider your interests
before I went outside.

I want it.
Me, too.

Well, I gotta tell you the truth,
I don't think either one of you are ready.

I'm ready.

I can do the job.
I'm very ready.

Why don't you
think it over, Max?

Mayor Pugen does not want to
go with either one of you.

He wants me to shop outside
for someone with more experience.

I can handle this job.
That won't be necessary.

Okay, put your résumés
on my desk.

The mayor and I will conduct interviews.
Maxine, you come back in half an hour.

Kenny, you come back
after lunch, okay? Fine.

I've got to say this up front.

Before I can consider
either of you,

I've got to be satisfied that each of you
can work under the other one,

because if politics undermines
your business relationship,

it's just not worth it.
I won't do it.

I can work for Kenny.
He's a fine officer.

I can work for Max.
She's a gifted leader.

BILLY: School lets out at noon,
we can be at The Quarry by 2:00.

I can't. I promised Lisa
that I'd have lunch with her at Dalt's.

Lisa again?
What is it with you two?

What's that supposed to mean?

You and I got some kind of problem
that I don't know about?

I don't have a problem.

I just don't want to
spend the day at The Quarry.

Fine. Your loss.

Hey. How did you do?

Oh, I think I aced
the multiple choice,

but I kind of zoned out
during the essays.

Yeah, me, too, a little.

I kept thinking about
last night.

Look, we're not
lesbians or anything, Kim. Sure.

We were just being curious.
It's natural.

I know.

It's no big deal.

I do have a confession
to make, though.

I liked kissing you.
I really did.

Your résumé is
beyond reproach, Maxine,

but to be undersheriff,
that's second in command.

I've been working very closely
with Jimmy for the last two years.

I've been assigned
every major case.

You've also drawn
your weapon on a federal officer,

you've lost your gun
to criminals on multiple occasions,

you've been insubordinate
too many times to count.

Am I here for a promotion
or an indictment?

Maxine, this job is
an enormous responsibility.

We have to ask hard questions.

Now, if you don't like it,
we can stop right now.

I know I'm prone
to insubordination.

I know I overstep my bounds.

But that's mainly because of your
laissez faire style, Jimmy.

You're not comfortable with authority,
you don't like giving orders,

and you make it more incumbent
on the deputies to assume initiative.

No excuses for losing my gun.

It's unacceptable.

But it offers no bearing
on my ability to command.

Okay, well, on to
another subject. Family?

I beg your pardon?

Do you plan to get married,
have a family?

We don't mean to pry
into your private business,

but we can't hand this
position to somebody

who plans to go out
and get pregnant right away.

First,

you can assume that if I'm given the job,
I will perform my duties.

Second,

Clinton's family leave bill
applies equally to men and women.

In the event that I do marry
and have children,

I will seek only the leave
and benefits afforded under the law,

the same benefits
available to Kenny.

(KNOCKING AT DOOR)

Lisa. Hi.

We were supposed to
meet at Dalt's, remember?

Half day at school,
we talked about meeting.

Oh, yeah.

Forgot. I'm sorry.

Kim, what's going on?

Nothing. What do you mean?

Could we talk in private?

Sure. Let's go up to my room.

Look, I understand, you could be a little
freaked out about last night.

But ducking me...

Did you kiss me
out of curiosity or

are you attracted to me?

Excuse me?

You know what I mean.
Are you physically attracted to me?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Don't look at me like I've got
everything figured out.

Kim, you and I
are a lot alike. A lot alike.

I mean, how many other kids
at school have read the Faludi book?

And intellectually
we have so much...

I'm not talking about
intellectual interests.

Will you just let me finish?

Look, there's no one
I trust more than you.

There's no one that I laugh with
like I do when I'm with you.

I feel, like,

giddy when we're together.

Maybe that's why...

They say it can happen
in your teens.

You think you're one way
and then suddenly...

I like boys, Lisa, okay?

I know. I know.

But can I ask you a question?

Part of kissing you,

well, I mean, the part
that made me, well, like it

was the feeling that you
sort of liked it, too.

Maybe...

I liked it for curiosity's sake,
that's all, okay?

Okay. So that's it. It doesn't have to go
any further than this.

Look, I'm sorry.

Look, it's not like I've been sexually
fantasizing about you or anything.

But

I really love being with you,

and when we kissed,
I felt something.

Didn't you?

I'm thrilled you came
to see me, Matthew,

but I have an office full
of patients, honey.

I didn't come just to visit.

We've got trouble.

What?

I didn't know if I should
come to you or Dad.

But since she's a girl...
Who?

Kimberly. She's sick.

What do you mean, she's sick?

(STAMMERING) I wiretapped
her and her friend Lisa...

Matthew, how is Kimberly sick?

She's a dyke.

That is an offensive term, young man.
That's totally inappropriate.

But when you...

When you use that term,
how exactly do you mean that?

I mean, she's a lesbo.

She and Lisa kissed.

And maybe they did
more than that.

Only I don't know
what lesbians can do.

I'm sure that you're mistaken, Matthew.

You misunderstood, and that serves
you right for eavesdropping.

They kissed.

They talked about being
attracted to each other.

How mistaken could I be?

They kissed on the lips?
I don't know. Nobody saw them.

Matthew heard them talking and I don't
know, with Matthew's imagination...

I mean, it could be nothing,
but suppose...

Well, then, we just ask her, that's all.
No, Jimmy, we can't.

No. They say it's better not to confront
a confused teenager over sexual identity.

Psychological studies show...
Hey! Hey!

I'm going to talk to Kimberly.

No, Jimmy, you're just going to
compound the anxiety.

We can't just walk in...

Well, I can't just sit back
and let her become a lesbian.

Keep your voice down.
Do you want everybody to find out?

Oh, God. Listen to us.
We're two liberal people.

We champion gay rights.
We refuse to vacation in Colorado.

But the thought that
our own daughter could...

She's not.

Oh, God.

(SIGHS)

We've been good parents.
Why would she choose to do that?

How did we fail?

Carter.
What?

Carter.
He knows all this stuff.

And he worked on
all those studies.

He has expertise
in neuroscience.

The anterior region
of the hypothalamus

is smaller for gay men
than it is for heterosexuals.

And the interstitial
nuclei are...

Would you speak
English, please?

Does a person become gay
because of the brain

or because of the way
they were brought up?

Who's gay?
Nobody.

Just answer me.
Is it Maxine?

No, no. It's just...

That could explain her
dominating tendencies.

Her compulsion to go
into law enforcement.

It's not Maxine.
Carter. No, Carter.

She could be, Jimmy.
That little affair with the midget.

That could represent
her rejection of the prototypical male.

Just listen to me.
It is not Maxine.

Jill and I are just curious.

Why?

Oh, just answer our question.

Is homosexuality biological
or psychological?

Probably both.

Genetics make you
more likely to be gay,

but upbringing can push you
over the edge.

So we're at fault?

She could become a lesbian
because of us?

Oh, Jimmy, first of all,
we don't know that she's gay,

and even if she is,
there's nothing wrong with her or us.

It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Even so, she'll be
perceived as deviant.

I can't begin to think of
the kind of cruelty she'll face.

I know.

If this is a sexual confusion
thing, is influence a factor?

Yeah.

So we can steer her
back to heterosexuality.

How do you propose to do that?

Well, for one thing,
we could keep her away from Lisa Fenn.

Oh, Jimmy, look, if it's genetics, there's
nothing we can do or change.

And even if we could
make a difference,

do we really want to brainwash
our daughter on sexual preference?

Shouldn't that be
repugnant to two people

who like to think of
themselves as enlightened?

As enlightened
as we pretend to be.

If we had a choice for her
to be homosexual or heterosexual,

how could we not want her
to be heterosexual?

Just let me talk
to her first, okay?

What are you going to say?

Have you ever been
attracted to girls before?

No.

You're the first one.

I should...

We should maybe stay away from
each other for a while.

Kim,

I'm interested in you.

(SIGHS)

I don't know if I can give back
those kind of feelings.

Look, I don't know
what the hell's going on with me.

But let's just not run away
from each other.

I mean, we can both admit
that we're scared.

But let's not run away.

I'm not running anywhere.

Thank you.

(SCREAMS)

Hi.

Everything's fine.

Hi. Everything's just fine.

The best man for undersheriff is me.
Why is that guy you, Kenny?

No offense against Max.
I think she's probably our best deputy.

Smarter than me, no question.

But the other officers here
think she's pushy,

ambitious, because she is.

But everybody in here
is more devoted to me.

Well, a lot of that admiration
comes from your field skills, Kenny.

You're the top marksman,
the best soldier.

You may not want to reduce
the job to guns and combat, Jimmy,

but a big part of the job
is that exactly.

There's a macho mentality
in law enforcement.

It's still a man thing.

That's your opinion.

Colin Powell's opinion.
Sam Nunn's.

There's a reason
that gays are banned in the military.

It's got nothing to do with their
competence or their ability to fight.

It's got nothing to do
with the gays at all.

It's got to do with the fact
that military branches

are redneck, male-dominated, macho
institutions which need to be functional.

They can't be functional

without their soldiers
trusting each other, and their leaders.

Deserved or undeserved,

I get more trust than Max.

You came home from work early
to watch videos?

I just had this urge
for popcorn.

So, I thought, well...

Mom, these are
Mel Gibson films, Mom.

I know. I love Mel Gibson.
Don't you think he's sexy?

He's okay. A little short.

This is Kevin Costner. The Bodyguard.
Don't you love Kevin Costner?

Mom, what's going on?

Nothing's going on.

A Few Good Men.
Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson.

Have you lost your mind?

Yes.

I don't know how to broach this.
I'm not prepared, I...

Matthew heard you and Lisa talking
about kissing and sexual attraction,

and I just saw you
hugging Lisa, and...

Is there anything that you
want to talk to me about?

You brought home
a bag full of hunk movies

because you're afraid
I'm a lesbian?

No.

Yes.

Oh, God.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

I'm not a lesbian.

Kimberly, if you're going
through something, we should talk.

Billy.

There's a rumor going around.

A rumor? What rumor?

Somebody in your mother's
reception area heard

your brother talking
to your mother

about you and Lisa Fenn.

Well, is it true?

Did you kiss her?

KIMBERLY: I don't believe this.
This is an inquisition.

It's not an inquisition. We...

I'm not gay. I'm not.

Did you kiss Lisa?

You know, before you answer
that I want you to know,

that your private life
is your own.

This is not about
whether we approve or disapprove.

Right.
Kimberly.

This is not easy,
not for us and not for you.

If you're heterosexual, that's fine.
If you're homosexual, that's fine.

But sometimes
your emotions can fool you

and you can start to doubt
what your orientation is.

Now, if you're in that
category, if you're confused,

we do want to get involved,
because we think we can help you.

Sweetheart,
we're your parents.

As hard as it is for you to trust us
sometimes, for God's sakes, trust us now.

I've never been
interested in girls before,

but

there is something emotional
I feel with Lisa.

For Lisa.

Okay.

And we kissed because
we were curious, that's all.

But

when we kissed, I got...

I felt aroused,

sexually.

And now I'm scared.

Oh, Kimmy.

Oh, that's okay, baby.

You know, the fact you got
aroused means nothing because

the sensation of kissing
can cause arousal,

even if you're not attracted
to the person that you're kissing,

especially with young people.

But what if I'm gay?

I read somewhere
that you can become gay

because of your genes
or your parents or...

There's nothing like that
in your history.

Yes, there is.

I don't mean to shock you, Daddy,

but someone I'm pretty close
to has had a lesbian affair.

Who?

Lydia.

My mother.

How dare you?

How you live your life is
your business. But for you...

But to unload on an
impressionable teenager.

Hey, two against one.
Not fair. I'll kill you.

This isn't funny, Lydia.

As a matter of fact,
it's frightening

if this hysteria is typical of how
you've handled the situation.

What did you say
to my daughter?

My daughter. Where is she?
In school.

I wanna know what sexual
behavior you've engaged in,

what you've told Kimberly, and I want to
know right this damn minute.

All right, come on. Please.

Not that I owe you
any explanation,

but Kimberly and I did have a conversation
once concerning sexuality,

and I shared with her a period of my life
during college when I was confused.

Now she's confused.

And one of the reasons she's confused
is because of your influence!

The fact that you're open
to a lesbian relationship

probably made her feel
more open, and now she's tried it.

I hope to hell you're happy!

Look, I could handle
cheating maybe, but this... This is sick.

You don't even know
what happened.

You admitted you kissed her.

Experimentation, I told you.

Experimentation?

How would you like it
if I told you I'd been running around

experimenting with guys?

Would you like that?

No.

Then talk to me, Kim.
What's going on?

You seem...

You talk to this girl
more than you talk to me.

I mean, you seem
a little more closer than...

What the hell
is going on, huh?

I don't know.

Well, here's one thing for sure, okay?
You and I, we're done.

Please, sit down.

Well, let me say,

though at first
the mayor and I had doubts

that either of you were ready
to be undersheriff,

we feel that both of you are
very strong candidates now.

Who got it?
Hold on.

First, let me talk about the factors
that went into our decision.

We can take it, Jimmy.
Just give us the news.

Oh, come on, Jimmy.
You can tell us who you picked.

Both Kenny and I fully support one
another, so there's no bad result here.

Either we're happy for selfish
or unselfish reasons.

So who gets the job?

Kenny.

Really?
What?

You've got to be kidding me.
Me?

I'm so much more qualified.

I've completed courses in criminology.
My education's better.

He didn't even know
what an undersheriff was.

Yes, I did.
This is ridiculous.

What's he going to do, give out candy
bars, dole out a couple of Fig Newtons?

PUGEN: Deputy Stewart.
Hey, Max.

No! You want insubordination?
You can stick it!

Maxine.

He didn't even know
what an undersheriff was!

She took it pretty well.

MAXINE:
It isn't fair.

I worked harder.
I wanted it more. It just isn't fair.

Can I be honest?

I think of you sometimes
as a daughter. You know that.

You'd get beaten up
as sheriff,

for no more reason than
you're a woman in your twenties.

I think the men in this department
would eventually chew you to shreds.

I don't want the responsibility
for that happening.

You're wrong. I'm tough.

I'm tough.

I know.

You're just not as tough
as you pretend to be.

You have a tremendous future
ahead of you, Deputy.

Don't let today's setback
convince you otherwise.

Don't tell me not to cry.
I don't want to be gay.

I don't want to be turned on
by women. I want to be normal.

Actually, sweetheart,

if anything, you've always
tried to be different.

Isn't that a little bit
why you kissed Lisa?

You're stuck in a small town with
these two giant role models for parents.

You're always trying
to break out of the mold.

Kim.

When you kissed Lisa,

the stimulation you felt could have
come from your own rebelliousness.

That's a whole different
kind of libido,

but it can be
just as overwhelming.

I don't know what
the psychology of it is.

All I know right now is that
I feel closer to Lisa than I do Billy.

And the thought
of kissing her again

doesn't disgust me.

And that's what
scares me the most.

So when it happened to you,
were you in love with her?

I think I thought I was.

But at the time I was very much into
the women's movement,

and I was so excited about,

well, all the changes in feminism,
and all the changes in me,

and I felt so
emotionally connected

to my friend that I thought,
why not?

Why not express myself
sexually with her?

I think the whole thing was
more about making a statement.

What kind of statement?

It's called
elective lesbianism.

It's distinguished
from primary lesbianism,

where a girl knows
at a very young age that she is gay.

Lisa's not gay.

Oh, we don't think she's gay.

I don't think
either one of them is gay.

I just think that they made an intellectual,
conscious choice to experiment

and things got complicated.

LYDIA: The reason
it got complicated?

In general, I've always felt

my relationships with women
were more meaningful, more autonomous.

Without the burden
or pressures of sex, I was less guarded.

It allowed me to get to a...

I don't know,
to a more intimate place

with my women friends
than with my men friends.

And then that one time,
I guess, I confused

the intimacy
with my sexuality.

That's just crap. Sex is sex.

You either like men
or you like women.

It has nothing to do
with intellect

or that ridiculous
emotional exfoliation garbage.

Don't talk to us like that.

I'll talk any way
I damn well please.

You call us down here
like we're criminals.

I did no such thing.

We didn't even know
what's going on.

And now you tell me
that your daughter is seducing mine,

trying to turn her
into a freak?

All right, Joe.

Your daughter made
the first move, not mine.

Jimmy.
You have a deviant family.

Your daughter ruined
the Christmas pageant.

Calm down, Joe.
She practically turned it into a tribute

to that teacher transsexual.
Joe. Calm down.

You watch your mouth!

And Matthew! How long
before he's in prison?

That's enough.
Hey, this is ridiculous! Both of you!

Men are more Neanderthal.

That's the reason I thought,
hey, women may be more right for me.

I found women to be
more sensitive,

and certainly more
emotionally accessible.

What brought me back to men,
and I might add very quickly,

was that men
are more Neanderthal.

What?

Oh, Kimberly,
when it comes to sex,

it's animal attraction.

Sweetie,
it's a very primal thing,

and there was no doubt, none,
I like men.

But how will I know?

Sometimes, I guess,
it's not easy.

What I would suggest,
next time you're with Lisa,

try to figure out where
your feelings are coming from.

Intellectual infatuation,
or hormones?

I wouldn't do anything
until you know which one it is.

But in the meantime,

it's okay if I see her?

Absolutely not.
They're not to see each other.

Joe, please. Will you just close your
mouth and sit down, please?

All right. All right.

I'm sorry. I mean...

Normally, we are
very rational people.

But I think this is
just so shocking, it...

Well, I think
we were all shocked.

I just think we need
to get control of our fears.

And we have to support
the girls.

Look, there's a line between
tolerance of a lifestyle and endorsing it.

We can't just sit back
and smile like proud parents.

Yeah, well, there's also
a line between tolerance and condemnation.

We trust Kimberly.
Do you trust Lisa?

Of course we do.

Well, then,
we've got to keep a distance.

One of the hardest things about parenting
is sometimes knowing when not to.

Are you suggesting that we,

what, approve
their sexual experimentation?

No.

No. Definitely not. No.
But I think what we should do is,

since they're confused, then we should
just tell them to do nothing, to abstain.

We can't forbid them
to see each other.

We can't forbid them
to be friends.

Douglas Wambaugh
for the oppressed. Doug.

Forgive me for interrupting
you, Jimmy, and your future in-laws.

MR. FENN:
Is this supposed to be a joke?

Don't believe in rumors,
even the good ones.

I'm here on another matter.

I swear, Doug...

Jimmy, this is important.

Otherwise, I wouldn't intrude.

Here.

What's this?
A summons.

You're being sued
by my client Max.

Sex discrimination.

You and the town
are in a lot of trouble.

These are exciting times.

It's nothing personal.
I take it personal.

I get made undersheriff,
you bring a lawsuit. I take it personal.

Look, my problem is
with Jimmy and the mayor.

I don't see...
I read your complaint.

It basically says
I'm unqualified.

No, it doesn't. It just says
I'm more qualified.

It disrespects me,
and you're doing it publicly.

I told you,
my problem is with them.

And mine is with you.

I gotta go.

CLERK: Case number 52575.

Douglas Wambaugh
for Deputy Maxine Stewart,

here to squash
sex discrimination.

Your Honor, this is the second Pearl
Harbor motion he's brought in two weeks,

not allowing us enough time
to hire a lawyer.

And this is the second time I'm telling
you this is an ex parte motion.

He's seeking a TRO.
He doesn't have to give you notice.

So I don't care
whether you have a lawyer.

You have the papers, Judge.

We're seeking to block
the promotion of Kenny Lacos,

whose promotion was denied
my client simply because she was a woman.

That's not true.

(GAVEL POUNDING)

In my chambers. Right now.

Sheriff Brock,
Mayor Pugen, let's go.

How long have they
been up there?

Thirteen minutes, 40 seconds.

About.

I don't even want Kimberly
in the same room with her.

I just want to
barge in on them,

and I want to order them
to never see each other again.

That's what I want to do.

Me, too.

I guess the only way
we'll really know is if we try.

You're at that point?

I mean, you honestly want to
have a romantic relationship?

I don't know.

I don't know
what I am right now,

or who...

I never had to confront it.

Because I was never
actually in love with anyone.

But now I am.

With me?

Did you ask her in the interview whether
she planned to run off and get pregnant?

Yes.

Did you tell her
she was qualified,

but the deputies wouldn't accept
a woman in her twenties?

Yes.

One of the deciding factors
was that Kenny is a man?

Yes, but...
Plaintiff's motion is granted.

The promotion of Deputy Lacos is vacated.
Court cost will be paid by the town.

Your Honor, come on.

It's blatant sex discrimination.
You didn't even disguise it.

I was being honest
and pragmatic.

Right or wrong,
I've got a chauvinist force to deal with.

And if Kenny's being a man
makes him more able to lead,

how do I ignore that?

It's like gays in the military. The ban
may be morally repugnant,

but the reality is we need
a functioning branch of law enforcement.

The military ban is illegal.

Your promotion
of Kenny is illegal,

and therefore null and void.

Would you, for once
in your life, be a realist?

You sit up there
high and mighty.

Just once, step down
into the real world with us.

You got something
to say to me, Bill?

You're damn right I do, Henry.

We're trying to survive.

And you sit up there taking delight
in your legal and ethical conundrums.

You put the transsexual
back into the schools,

you put the HIV dentist back in practice,
you refuse to prosecute the polygamy guy.

Let me tell you, the children of this town
are growing up aimless.

Now you're refusing
to let us choose our police leaders.

Your rulings
are anti-pragmatic,

and they are at the expense
of this community.

When pragmatism discriminates against
an entire class of people,

I will always strike it down.

You are an elected official,

and I'm gonna make it my
business to bring you down.

Plaintiff's motion granted.

Get out.

I'm sure they're just
talking about girl stuff, like Madonna.

Yeah, we're blowing
this thing way up. Way up.

You probably can't be
physically attracted to someone

unless you allow
yourself to be.

I don't want to allow that.

It's easier to like boys.

I like boys.

I should just leave it
at that.

Can you

leave it at that?

It isn't there, is it?

No.

Did you feel anything?

Relief.

So, this is good.

We're both discovering stuff.

This is good.

This is good.

Pursuant to Judge Bone's orders, Kenny,
you're no longer undersheriff.

The mayor and I have decided to wait
three months and then reconvene.

You both will be considered
at that time.

Maxine, I have no doubt about
the sincerity of your outrage.

But attacking Kenny
was extremely disappointing.

It was evidence
of immaturity and disloyalty.

Two attributes,
which in my mind

make you unworthy of command.

Is that all?

No, that is not all.

I have no doubt that one day
you will make an outstanding sheriff,

but between now and that time,
you have a lot of growing up to do.

That's all.

Dismissed.

May I speak, sir?

Go ahead.

I never, ever meant to
undermine Kenny.

I know I reacted emotionally
in the room when you made your decision,

but in the court papers I never suggested
even slightly that he was unqualified.

I know you'll make
a great leader.

I know it.

And nobody would be more proud
to serve under you than me.

I'd be very proud.

But I became no longer proud
to serve under you.

I don't doubt
the sincerity of your actions,

but you were guilty
of blatant sex discrimination.

I'll own my immaturity,

but you own your bigotry.

I never thought of it
as bigotry.

You know I think
of Kenny and Maxine as my kids in there.

I was just...

I was more protecting her from a job
I didn't think she was ready for, than...

A very wise man once said

that the hardest thing about
parenting is knowing when not to.

Look, all in all,
it's been a good day.

Your deputy will probably forgive you,
and our daughter, thank God, prefers men.

Chauvinism. Homophobia.

You find them
in the most unlikely places.

What's wrong?
Nothing.

We're just... Yeah.
We're just resting.

Okay. Well, good night then.

Good night.
Good night, baby.

I'll come up in a second
and say good-bye.

I wanted to thank all of you
for everything.

Most parents
would have freaked

if their daughters were thinking about
what I was thinking about.

But you three stayed
completely under control.

I can't wait
until I'm grown up.

Having stuff all figured out.

Must make life much easier.
