Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:09,004
This programme
contains some strong language.
2
00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:21,060
I've got a secret.
I've had to hide it my whole life.
3
00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:25,008
It started when I was very young.
4
00:00:25,008 --> 00:00:29,068
I remember doing it
when I was five years old even.
5
00:00:31,060 --> 00:00:33,084
And hardly anybody knows.
6
00:00:34,096 --> 00:00:37,044
Even my dad doesn't know.
7
00:00:41,044 --> 00:00:44,060
I only really do it
in the house now.
8
00:00:44,060 --> 00:00:46,088
It's not really accepted.
9
00:00:46,088 --> 00:00:50,064
People look upon it
as something seedy
10
00:00:50,064 --> 00:00:56,000
or something disgusting
because they don't understand,
but I'm sick of hiding.
11
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:05,036
In a few weeks' time,
I'm planning to tell everybody
at my end of school prom.
12
00:01:06,088 --> 00:01:11,048
Of course, I'm worried. Some people
might be really nasty about it.
13
00:01:11,048 --> 00:01:13,092
But I want everybody to know.
14
00:01:15,028 --> 00:01:21,028
At 16 years old,
I want to be a drag queen.
15
00:01:33,012 --> 00:01:37,088
Jamie lives in a small,
northern, ex-mining town.
16
00:01:37,088 --> 00:01:42,036
In four months' time, he will take
his GCSEs and leave school.
17
00:01:42,036 --> 00:01:45,000
He is openly gay,
18
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,076
but no-one at school knows
his secret plans
for the end of year prom.
19
00:01:53,008 --> 00:01:58,056
Everyone's got their prom dresses
now. There's only a few people
that don't.
20
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:06,044
He has told everyone he will be
going in a flamboyant suit.
21
00:02:06,044 --> 00:02:12,068
I want lights on the suit.
I want to see it with lights
and diamantes on. Yes.
22
00:02:14,088 --> 00:02:17,044
But Jamie is hiding the truth.
23
00:02:17,044 --> 00:02:21,008
I'm going to prom in a dress.
24
00:02:22,008 --> 00:02:24,048
That's a wrap. Whoo!
25
00:02:27,096 --> 00:02:30,024
Sit!
26
00:02:30,024 --> 00:02:33,028
Dougal, sit...
27
00:02:34,092 --> 00:02:36,096
Run, Forrest.
28
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,004
I really can't remember
a single day in my life
29
00:02:41,004 --> 00:02:46,008
that I have not been told that I'm
gay or I'm different or I'm a freak.
30
00:02:46,008 --> 00:02:51,076
In primary school, it was like,
"You're a girl," cos no-one knew
what "gay" was then.
31
00:02:51,076 --> 00:02:54,096
They were pushing me
in the girls' toilets.
32
00:02:54,096 --> 00:03:01,024
Then when you get older, it's more,
"Oh, God, Jamie, you're so gay.
Oh, God!"
33
00:03:01,024 --> 00:03:07,028
If I'm walking with my friends,
they'll be like, "He's just called
you gay." I'm like, "Oh, really?"
34
00:03:07,028 --> 00:03:09,076
It does bottle up inside you.
35
00:03:09,076 --> 00:03:12,040
Why not wait?
Why not go to the prom in a suit
36
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,088
and then go out the weekend later
when nobody knows you
and wear what you want to wear then?
37
00:03:17,088 --> 00:03:23,040
Why let them win?
Why let them have drilled me down
and put me in a suit?
38
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,048
I want them to see me
and know that they haven't won
39
00:03:27,048 --> 00:03:30,080
and that I will do
what I want anyway.
40
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:37,016
All of the pushing and putting down
they've done over the years will
just be a slap in the face for them.
41
00:03:37,016 --> 00:03:40,032
# Everything that happens... #
42
00:03:40,032 --> 00:03:45,036
I can only imagine what the Willies
are going to be like
when they see me.
43
00:03:45,036 --> 00:03:48,076
They'll probably just, like,
literally die, like...
44
00:03:48,076 --> 00:03:52,080
"My God, he is actually in a dress.
As if he couldn't get any worse!"
45
00:03:56,088 --> 00:04:04,012
How did I tell you?
You went, "Mam..." I said, "What?"
"I think I'm bisexual."Mam, don't!
46
00:04:04,012 --> 00:04:09,084
An only child, Jamie lives
with his mum Margaret...
Bisexual is just greedy.
47
00:04:09,084 --> 00:04:13,032
..dogs Charlie and Dougal
48
00:04:13,032 --> 00:04:15,092
and Dita Von Teese, the rabbit.
49
00:04:15,092 --> 00:04:21,000
Have you heard anything from your dad
lately? No, not really, like...
50
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,088
Jamie's parents broke up when
he was seven. His dad lives nearby
with his new partner.
51
00:04:26,088 --> 00:04:29,092
We are almost opposite people,
like...
52
00:04:29,092 --> 00:04:34,044
I like wearing heels.
He likes looking at women in heels.
53
00:04:35,044 --> 00:04:40,016
He hasn't told his dad
about his passion for drag.
54
00:04:40,016 --> 00:04:43,056
His mum Margaret didn't need
to be told.
55
00:04:45,088 --> 00:04:49,080
There's one that we remember,
trying my shoes on.
56
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:55,020
The first time I think I realised
was I'd gone up stairs
to put some washing away
57
00:04:55,020 --> 00:04:58,000
and he sort of ran in his bedroom.
58
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,040
And when I asked him to come out,
59
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:06,024
he was making a lot of racket
and then came out quite sheepish.
60
00:05:07,024 --> 00:05:09,068
He just said he was playing.
61
00:05:09,068 --> 00:05:15,020
But when I went in his bedroom,
he had one of my dresses
and he hid it under the bed.
62
00:05:15,020 --> 00:05:18,092
I saw it sticking out
and I thought, "Oh..."
63
00:05:18,092 --> 00:05:23,080
Lights sort of switched on and things
started to make a bit more sense.
64
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,008
When Mam was downstairs,
I'd sneak upstairs.
65
00:05:28,008 --> 00:05:30,064
She obviously knew I was doing it.
66
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:37,056
Then I'd put her dresses on and,
of course, they'd be a lot bigger
than me,
67
00:05:37,056 --> 00:05:44,012
so I'd tie them in at the waist
with, like, dressing gown cords
and stuff, and parade around.
68
00:05:44,012 --> 00:05:50,084
He never really went out to play
as in boys running around
and climbing trees.
69
00:05:50,084 --> 00:05:53,088
If I put make-up on,
he wanted to copy
70
00:05:53,088 --> 00:05:59,004
and a few times, we had to scrub it
off his face and hide it
in case his dad saw it.
71
00:05:59,004 --> 00:06:03,020
It's such a slutty wedding dress.
It's my type of style.
72
00:06:03,020 --> 00:06:08,076
Are you the only person
that sees the real Jamie?
I would say so, yes. Definitely.
73
00:06:10,060 --> 00:06:13,064
My whole life has been hiding
74
00:06:13,064 --> 00:06:17,020
and leading up to this one moment
which is prom.
75
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:20,080
I'm eventually coming
out of the closet again,
76
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,064
but instead of coming out
as a gay person,
it's coming out as a drag queen.
77
00:06:28,012 --> 00:06:31,088
At the moment,
Jamie's drag queen alter ego
78
00:06:31,088 --> 00:06:36,024
only dares to venture outside
under the cover of darkness.
79
00:06:36,024 --> 00:06:39,008
# I go out walking
80
00:06:39,008 --> 00:06:41,036
# After midnight... #
81
00:06:41,036 --> 00:06:45,044
When I put those heels on,
I just totally transform.
82
00:06:45,044 --> 00:06:47,048
# Like we used to do
83
00:06:47,048 --> 00:06:51,040
# I'm always walking after midnight
84
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,032
# Searching for you... #
85
00:06:54,032 --> 00:06:59,056
I feel sexy and beautiful
and fierce.
86
00:06:59,056 --> 00:07:02,068
# I walk for miles
along the highway... #
87
00:07:02,068 --> 00:07:05,000
It's the sound as well...
88
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,036
..that you associate
with women in heels.
89
00:07:09,036 --> 00:07:12,096
It's so amazing
when it's, like, coming from you.
90
00:07:12,096 --> 00:07:15,092
# ..after midnight
searching for you... #
91
00:07:15,092 --> 00:07:21,008
Just in the confines of your house,
you're free and there's, like,
no boundaries.
92
00:07:21,008 --> 00:07:24,068
You look up at the sky
and there's stars and everything.
93
00:07:26,016 --> 00:07:30,072
I keep losing my balance.
You don't smile. You just...
94
00:07:30,072 --> 00:07:33,096
It's such a thrill
and so exhilarating.
95
00:07:33,096 --> 00:07:37,096
# ..out in the starlight
just hoping... #
96
00:07:37,096 --> 00:07:40,092
I just love it.
97
00:07:40,092 --> 00:07:44,076
# ..somewhere walking after midnight
98
00:07:44,076 --> 00:07:47,008
# Searching for me... #
99
00:07:53,016 --> 00:07:58,028
With three months to go
till prom night, Jamie still has
a huge amount to do.
100
00:07:58,028 --> 00:08:01,016
What do you say
when you go into a wig shop?
101
00:08:01,016 --> 00:08:06,000
He has enlisted
the help of a trusted few
to help him realise his ambition.
102
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,060
I'm wanting a wig, but...
103
00:08:08,060 --> 00:08:10,064
His friend Sam.
104
00:08:10,064 --> 00:08:15,012
I think it makes me look like a man
from the '80s or something.
105
00:08:15,012 --> 00:08:18,068
'I told her because
she's a very trustworthy person.
106
00:08:19,036 --> 00:08:22,020
'So I know my secret's safe.'
107
00:08:23,008 --> 00:08:26,032
His grandma May.
Hallo, ich heisse Jamie.
108
00:08:26,032 --> 00:08:29,004
CONTINUES IN GERMAN
109
00:08:30,016 --> 00:08:33,040
Hello!Hiya.
110
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,080
Close family friend Leigh.
111
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:43,012
You're amongst people
who are very accepting and loyal.
The world isn't like that, pet.
112
00:08:43,012 --> 00:08:45,048
And his mum Margaret.
113
00:08:45,048 --> 00:08:49,052
We're just trying to prepare you
for what's going to happen.
114
00:08:49,052 --> 00:08:52,068
We have to go, Jamie.
Yeah, I like that.
115
00:08:53,076 --> 00:08:57,036
Is it realistic?
You need to start somewhere.
116
00:08:57,036 --> 00:09:02,080
I wouldn't take the money off Mam
cos she doesn't have it
to start off with.
117
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,072
'With the boobs that I got
some time last year,
it was like an investment.
118
00:09:07,072 --> 00:09:12,020
'Like me, Mam, Leigh all chipped in
together to get them.'
119
00:09:12,020 --> 00:09:16,048
There's someone walking past. So
what?And I've got boobs in my hand.
120
00:09:18,004 --> 00:09:21,056
Stop playing with them.
That's every man's dream!
121
00:09:22,060 --> 00:09:26,016
Margaret has also agreed
to pay for Jamie's wig...
122
00:09:27,088 --> 00:09:30,008
I'll be back another time with Mam.
123
00:09:30,008 --> 00:09:32,004
..shoes and make-up.
124
00:09:32,004 --> 00:09:36,056
Can you mix pink and orange? I love
pink and orange together.Oh, no.
125
00:09:38,056 --> 00:09:42,020
But the next big investment
is the dress.
126
00:09:42,020 --> 00:09:46,084
I've put some dresses aside if
you want to have a look. Thank you.
127
00:09:46,084 --> 00:09:49,000
Three, two, one, oh, God.
128
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,024
SINGS TO HIMSELF
129
00:09:54,024 --> 00:09:56,080
I actually do like that one, yeah.
130
00:09:58,004 --> 00:10:03,056
Is this the first time you've been
in front of strangers in a dress?
Yeah. How lucky do you feel?
131
00:10:03,056 --> 00:10:06,040
You look good.
Especially with no boobs.
132
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,068
Do you want to see the boobs in
with that dress?
133
00:10:09,068 --> 00:10:11,020
Aagh!
134
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:13,024
Stop screaming.
135
00:10:13,024 --> 00:10:16,028
That's more kind of glam,
isn't it?Yeah.
136
00:10:16,028 --> 00:10:19,048
We'll have to do something
about those nipples!
137
00:10:22,012 --> 00:10:25,080
Everyone will be wowed by it
if you wear that one. Yeah.
138
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,048
It makes your boobs look
really good as well.
139
00:10:29,048 --> 00:10:33,004
I think it's very brave.
That's what I was going to say.
140
00:10:33,004 --> 00:10:37,004
You've got to do it while you're
young and make yourself happy.
141
00:10:37,004 --> 00:10:41,052
If you can't be true to yourself now,
where will you be in ten years' time?
142
00:10:41,052 --> 00:10:45,028
Aagh! Oh, my God,
that was like waxing!
143
00:10:45,028 --> 00:10:47,032
Can I feel those?Yeah.
144
00:10:47,032 --> 00:10:49,068
They're realistic, aren't they?
145
00:10:49,068 --> 00:10:53,040
Do you want a go?
LAUGHTER
146
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,008
There are so many nice dresses.
147
00:10:56,008 --> 00:10:59,052
Has anyone ever seen you in drag
before? No. Mam has...
148
00:10:59,052 --> 00:11:04,072
Not even a single one
of your friends at school
will know about it. God!
149
00:11:04,072 --> 00:11:08,044
Bye.See you later.
See you later.Bye.
150
00:11:12,056 --> 00:11:16,080
Jamie also needs to work
on his make-up technique.
151
00:11:17,024 --> 00:11:22,028
He has been learning
from professional drag queens
on the internet.
152
00:11:22,028 --> 00:11:28,016
He's just so talented. Some people
are born to put make-up on and he's
obviously one of those people.
153
00:11:28,016 --> 00:11:32,024
But while they effortlessly achieve
that polished look,
154
00:11:32,024 --> 00:11:36,040
Jamie is far from happy
with what he sees in the mirror.
155
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:43,092
You cover your eyebrows,
so you can draw them on
a lot more higher and defined.
156
00:11:44,092 --> 00:11:50,028
I wouldn't go out to prom
with my make-up like this.
Oh, no, no, this is wrong.
157
00:11:50,028 --> 00:11:55,004
I need someone to show me
how to do it properly,
so it doesn't go like this.
158
00:11:55,004 --> 00:11:57,076
Yeah, even this side
I'm not happy with.
159
00:11:57,076 --> 00:11:59,012
Mam!
160
00:11:59,012 --> 00:12:02,076
I literally want to cry.
Why? What's wrong with you?
161
00:12:02,076 --> 00:12:05,088
Look! It looks disgusting.
I'm just...
162
00:12:06,088 --> 00:12:09,044
Look up straight. I can't see.
163
00:12:09,044 --> 00:12:14,088
Even the side with my natural brows
is horrible.
That is, but it's too dark.
164
00:12:14,088 --> 00:12:18,044
If you don't like it, take it off.
I am taking it off.
165
00:12:18,044 --> 00:12:20,044
Get on with it.
166
00:12:20,044 --> 00:12:26,060
I'll have to be shown how to do this
properly. I'm not doing it any
more until I know what I'm doing.
167
00:12:26,060 --> 00:12:31,064
I do not feel ready for prom
right now. I don't want to look
like a man in drag.
168
00:12:31,064 --> 00:12:34,000
I want to look like a pretty woman.
169
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,056
I want the girls to be jealous.
170
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:38,092
Do you want to sit forward?
171
00:12:38,092 --> 00:12:41,036
'So do you want to be a girl?'
172
00:12:41,036 --> 00:12:43,076
No, I don't want to be a girl, like.
173
00:12:43,076 --> 00:12:50,064
I want to be a boy when I'm out
of drag and look like a gorgeous
hot girl when I'm in drag.
174
00:12:50,064 --> 00:12:53,068
I don't want an operation
to be a woman.
175
00:12:53,068 --> 00:12:58,064
I just want to perform as a girl,
like, for a cover, yeah.
176
00:13:14,024 --> 00:13:18,080
Jamie has come to
a drag cabaret show in Newcastle.

189
00:14:05,064 --> 00:14:09,068
Jamie is going backstage
to meet the star of the show,
190
00:14:09,068 --> 00:14:13,044
Betty Legs Diamond,
also known as Simon.
191
00:14:13,044 --> 00:14:17,036
Hello, Sam. Nice eyelashes.
Thank you.Take a seat.
192
00:14:17,036 --> 00:14:22,024
Did you enjoy the show?Fabulous.
Yeah.Absolutely fabulous.
Oh, super.
193
00:14:22,024 --> 00:14:28,000
So how did you start?
Probably like you, I used
to dress up in Mum's clothes.
194
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,088
I went to theatre school
and I ended up
in the West End of London.
195
00:14:32,088 --> 00:14:38,072
I worked with a brilliant make-up
artist and he taught me how
to pluck your eyebrows out.
196
00:14:38,072 --> 00:14:44,060
I can do everything but that.
With the back of your nail,
you apply it to the brow of there
197
00:14:44,060 --> 00:14:50,072
and draw in the brow, but always
incorporate your brow line.
Any other questions for me?
198
00:14:50,072 --> 00:14:52,072
How do you tuck properly?
199
00:14:52,072 --> 00:14:55,044
I hope they're clean.
200
00:14:55,044 --> 00:15:00,008
One of these pushes you all in and
back. It feels very uncomfortable.
201
00:15:00,008 --> 00:15:03,072
Yeah.But you can pee backwards!
LAUGHTER
202
00:15:05,036 --> 00:15:13,028
So, basically, the plan is in
about a month's time or something,
high school prom.
203
00:15:13,028 --> 00:15:18,032
Instead of going in a suit,
I'm going in full drag.
Is that a bad idea?
204
00:15:18,032 --> 00:15:22,000
To your school? Yeah.
There are two sides to this.
205
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,084
It's either a good thing cos
you're saying, "This is who I am,"
and you've got to be strong,
206
00:15:27,084 --> 00:15:33,052
but you've got to be able to have
a comeback and an escape route
cos it could get very ugly.
207
00:15:33,052 --> 00:15:39,044
Inside, I want to wear a dress
and be fabulous.I'm sure you will,
but life isn't always a film.
208
00:15:39,044 --> 00:15:41,080
My dad doesn't know.
209
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,084
Should I tell him before?
210
00:15:43,084 --> 00:15:45,088
I never told my dad.
211
00:15:45,088 --> 00:15:52,028
He always... He probably always
knew I was gay. Then I said,
"I'm in a show in Blackpool."
212
00:15:52,028 --> 00:15:58,004
At the end of the show, I said,
"There are two people who are
very special to me in the audience.
213
00:15:58,004 --> 00:16:03,044
"It's my mum and dad.
Give my mum and my fabulous dad
a great round of applause."
214
00:16:03,044 --> 00:16:10,000
He was as pleased as Punch. Sit him
down, tell him man to man, "I love
you. This is what I want to do."
215
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:16,000
I've always said honesty is the best
policy, Jamie. Absolutely. That is
a great way to live - honesty.
216
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,004
Why not put a show on here, get
some friends to come and see you?
217
00:16:20,004 --> 00:16:23,000
That would be so good, like, oh...
218
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,048
Yeah. Could I, like...?
219
00:16:25,048 --> 00:16:29,036
Yeah. You could put a little
ten-minute thing together.Yeah.
220
00:16:29,036 --> 00:16:34,004
If you need any help
putting it together,
I'll help you as much as I can.
221
00:16:34,004 --> 00:16:37,028
Thank you.All right,
look after yourself.
222
00:16:37,028 --> 00:16:40,092
Bye.Ta-ra. Bye.
223
00:16:40,092 --> 00:16:43,064
# Man wanted... #
224
00:16:43,064 --> 00:16:47,088
Within a few weeks, that could be
Jamie up there on the stage.
225
00:16:47,088 --> 00:16:50,020
# Who'll kiss me till I cry... #
226
00:16:50,020 --> 00:16:55,068
And there is one person more
than any other who he would love
to see in the audience.
227
00:16:55,068 --> 00:17:00,052
# About this much across
and just about ye high... #
228
00:17:00,052 --> 00:17:03,036
'It's a massive moment,
telling my dad.
229
00:17:03,036 --> 00:17:07,060
'I think if you ask any drag queen
out there, they'll agree.'
230
00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:11,044
In your dream scenario,
what's your dad going to tell you?
231
00:17:11,044 --> 00:17:15,028
The dream scenario would be
if I told him and he was like,
232
00:17:15,028 --> 00:17:20,056
"Oh, wow, when can I go
and see the first show?"
That would be the perfect scenario.
233
00:17:20,056 --> 00:17:26,052
It would just be like such a relief
if he was happy
and supportive of it.
234
00:17:26,052 --> 00:17:32,076
Because that's sort of like
what I've been wanting
my whole life, like,
235
00:17:32,076 --> 00:17:36,048
to make him well and truly proud.
236
00:17:37,048 --> 00:17:42,036
There are eight weeks till prom,
but only six till Jamie's drag show.
237
00:17:42,036 --> 00:17:46,020
Rehearsals begin in secret
at the village hall.
238
00:17:46,020 --> 00:17:51,016
Jamie has asked his 19-year-old
friend Sam to be his backing dancer.
239
00:17:51,016 --> 00:17:54,072
Today, she will see him in heels
for the first time.
240
00:17:54,072 --> 00:17:57,020
Yeah, size women's eight. Boo-yah!
241
00:17:57,020 --> 00:18:03,024
Can you walk in them
absolutely fine? Yes.
Can you dance in them though? Yes.
242
00:18:04,096 --> 00:18:07,072
It just makes it a bit more real.
243
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,068
Are you shocked as well?

about for him?His safety, I think.

Although a lot of people will think
he's really good, a lot of people
will totally disagree with it
266
00:19:33,060 --> 00:19:37,016
and I am worried
about what could happen about that,
267
00:19:37,016 --> 00:19:41,092
but...I've just got to hope
everything goes OK for him, really.

Good morning, Margaret.
286
00:20:46,032 --> 00:20:50,056
Why are you hiding?
There's a man at the door.
287

What would he think? You don't
just turn up to someone's house

in his drag performance.

00:21:06,024 --> 00:21:11,004
Have you been up on one before?
I've been on a stage, but not mine.
290
00:21:11,004 --> 00:21:14,084
Have you tried heels on a stage?
Put 'em on. Snowman socks.
291
00:21:18,028 --> 00:21:20,032
Show me your bevel.What?
292
00:21:20,032 --> 00:21:27,000
That's called a bevel. Drop
your foot in, drop your knee over,
then give the attitude.
293
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,024
Anything else you want to use?
Your little entrance.
I never do a little entrance.
294
00:21:32,024 --> 00:21:36,056
If it gets too high, shout "stop"
and we'll bring you back down.

00:21:36,056 --> 00:21:38,052

I feel like Kylie Minogue.
298
00:21:44,068 --> 00:21:51,020
Jamie can't rely on a flashy
entrance alone. It's what he does
next that will really count.

00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,012
You want to finish it - bang,
and then go on.
320
00:23:09,012 --> 00:23:12,016
Give it a bit of attitude
with that shoulder.
321
00:23:12,016 --> 00:23:16,008
'He tells me the real things
and not just what I want to hear
322
00:23:16,008 --> 00:23:19,020
'which a lot of people
like Mam and Sam do.
323
00:23:19,020 --> 00:23:24,088
'I need someone like that
to hit home that I do need
to make myself a better act.'
324
00:23:24,088 --> 00:23:28,012
Whoa, and go! There you are.
325
00:23:28,012 --> 00:23:33,092
Are you going to watch me get ready
tonight? Yeah.Ask questions,
give you a few tips on make-up?
326
00:23:34,084 --> 00:23:38,040
So this is the stuff you use?Yeah.
327
00:23:49,068 --> 00:23:53,044
How's it all been going?
It's all right, yeah.
328
00:23:55,020 --> 00:23:58,076
We went back to watch him
getting ready for the show.
329
00:24:00,024 --> 00:24:05,000
Rub it in. 'The whole atmosphere
in the changing room...
330
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:11,092
'You know how you imagine with the
light bulbs and mirrors? It was so
good.You felt completely at ease?'
331
00:24:11,092 --> 00:24:19,040
Yeah. I could just imagine me being
there and getting ready and getting
involved in the bitchiness.Mm-hm.
332
00:24:22,012 --> 00:24:24,056
See you later. Bye.Bye.
333
00:24:24,056 --> 00:24:29,080
Good luck. I want to see you
rehearsed and polished next time.
Oh, God!
334
00:24:35,008 --> 00:24:37,028
Pass me that pen and pad.
335
00:24:37,028 --> 00:24:43,016
He is visiting
his mum's best friend Leigh
with whom he shares a close bond.
336
00:24:43,016 --> 00:24:49,036
She has agreed to help him
formulate his drag queen persona,
starting with the name.
337
00:24:49,036 --> 00:24:52,032
What about Shaquille?
338
00:24:52,032 --> 00:24:55,028
Lil-Lil, as in Lil...Lil?
339
00:24:55,028 --> 00:24:56,088
Charisse?
340
00:24:56,088 --> 00:24:59,020
Lady Laura...
341
00:25:01,020 --> 00:25:04,008
Linguine. Linguine?
342
00:25:04,008 --> 00:25:07,008
Charlotte...Shallot.
343
00:25:07,008 --> 00:25:09,032
Charlotte Shallot.
344
00:25:09,032 --> 00:25:12,076
Charlotte Shallot?
Likes it a lot.
345
00:25:14,028 --> 00:25:16,032
Think about it.
346
00:25:16,032 --> 00:25:22,012
And now appearing here
for the first time tonight,
347
00:25:22,012 --> 00:25:26,012
it's Lady Charlotte Shallot!
348
00:25:26,012 --> 00:25:27,024
No.
349
00:25:27,024 --> 00:25:31,012
Lady Leigh...Feelfree.
350
00:25:31,012 --> 00:25:33,032
LAUGHTER
351
00:25:35,076 --> 00:25:37,068
Delphine Del Rio.
352
00:25:37,068 --> 00:25:39,084
Dappy Delphine.
353
00:25:39,084 --> 00:25:41,084
She's a bitch,
354
00:25:41,084 --> 00:25:45,092
like in a corset and her big,
massive heels and big hair.
355
00:25:45,092 --> 00:25:48,048
She's a bit violent at times.
356
00:25:48,048 --> 00:25:52,032
She's not afraid...not to use
her face, to use her claws.
357
00:25:52,032 --> 00:25:55,048
Like nails and stuff. Her talons.
Yeah, her talons.
358
00:25:55,048 --> 00:25:57,052
This is the start.
359
00:25:57,052 --> 00:26:00,052
But there is a long road ahead.
360
00:26:06,044 --> 00:26:12,016
The next step on that road
will involve telling his dad
all about his plans
361
00:26:12,016 --> 00:26:14,036
for the drag show and prom.
362
00:26:14,036 --> 00:26:20,020
Jamie is calling to arrange
a meeting where he hopes
to tell his dad face to face.
363
00:26:21,096 --> 00:26:24,076
'I do feel like I have let him down
364
00:26:24,076 --> 00:26:30,052
'because it's sort of like my fault
for, like, our relationship
not being as good
365
00:26:30,052 --> 00:26:34,056
'as a proper son and father's
relationship would have been.'
366
00:26:34,056 --> 00:26:35,060
Hi!
367
00:26:35,060 --> 00:26:40,064
'I just want to be successful
and that's so I can make up
for not being the son
368
00:26:40,064 --> 00:26:42,092
'that he wanted or imagined.
369
00:26:43,092 --> 00:26:46,040
'If I could step out on to a stage'
370
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,072
and just have Dad there...
371
00:26:49,072 --> 00:26:53,072
..all happy and clapping
and proud of what I've been doing,
372
00:26:53,072 --> 00:26:56,052
that would just be so amazing.
373
00:26:57,052 --> 00:27:01,052
Do you want to, like,
do something tomorrow,
374
00:27:01,052 --> 00:27:05,024
like take the dog out or something?
375
00:27:05,024 --> 00:27:08,096
Would you swap that for an audience
full of strangers?
376
00:27:08,096 --> 00:27:11,016
I think I would, yeah.
377
00:27:11,016 --> 00:27:15,000
I've just got something
I need to talk to you about.
378
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,076
He doesn't see a lot of his dad
or hear from him now
379
00:27:18,076 --> 00:27:22,080
and I think it might be a case of...
He might never see his dad again.
380
00:27:28,048 --> 00:27:31,004
What am I going to say?
381
00:27:43,060 --> 00:27:49,072
But the next day, before he has
a chance to meet his dad,
there is another problem.
382
00:27:49,072 --> 00:27:51,092
Mam...Uh-huh?
383
00:27:51,092 --> 00:27:57,032
I am absolutely, actually furious.
Why? What's happened?
384
00:27:57,032 --> 00:28:00,088
His secret plans for prom
seem to have leaked out.
385
00:28:00,088 --> 00:28:04,080
He was called in for a meeting
at school with his head of year.
386
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,084
She was just all normal
and then she was like,
387
00:28:07,084 --> 00:28:10,088
"The reason I've come in...
I've got you here
388
00:28:10,088 --> 00:28:17,052
"is we've had parents on the phone
that have heard rumours that
you're going to prom in a dress
389
00:28:17,052 --> 00:28:21,052
"and they think it's disgusting,"
and stuff like that.
390
00:28:21,052 --> 00:28:25,004
It's the word "disgusting",
ever since she's told me,
391
00:28:25,004 --> 00:28:30,008
the word "disgusting"
has been running in my head
and it's making me boil.
392
00:28:30,008 --> 00:28:32,012
I can... I don't know...
393
00:28:32,012 --> 00:28:37,052
I think "disgusting" is the worst
word you could call somebody.
394
00:28:37,052 --> 00:28:42,096
Am I saying, "You can't do this
because I think it's disgusting?"
No, I'm not.
395
00:28:42,096 --> 00:28:47,000
They're discriminating against me.
Why should they be allowed to?
396
00:28:48,016 --> 00:28:51,016
Hello! Just me!
397
00:28:51,016 --> 00:28:54,016
Are you all right? Not really.
398
00:28:54,016 --> 00:29:01,040
How's it OK for people
to discriminate
against gays and crossdressers?
399
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,064
What's going on?
400
00:29:03,064 --> 00:29:09,068
One of the teachers has said
some of the parents have heard that
he's going to the prom in a dress.
401
00:29:09,068 --> 00:29:15,012
And it disgusts them.
They want reassurance
it's not going to happen.
402
00:29:15,012 --> 00:29:17,036
Oh, for fuck's sake!
403
00:29:18,064 --> 00:29:25,036
Honest to god, it boils my piss!
They don't even understand and
they're not getting the chance to.
404
00:29:25,036 --> 00:29:32,012
What are they actually referring to
as disgusting? I mean,
what planet do they live on?
405
00:29:33,008 --> 00:29:35,068
Don't cry, Dappy Delphine.
406
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,004
All right, I'm going, then.
Bye for now. Bye for now.
407
00:29:41,084 --> 00:29:48,096
If this has come out now, you have
to have this conversation with
your dad sooner rather than later.
408
00:29:48,096 --> 00:29:53,024
I really do need to come
and speak to you tonight.
409
00:29:53,024 --> 00:29:54,068
Mm-hm.
410
00:29:54,068 --> 00:29:59,024
Hello?The school have
returned a call from Margaret
411
00:29:59,024 --> 00:30:03,028
and confirmed they have received
an anonymous complaint from someone
412
00:30:03,028 --> 00:30:10,032
saying they would be disgusted
if the school allowed a boy to go to
prom in a dress. It's a bad word.
413
00:30:10,032 --> 00:30:16,036
This has hurt him more than anything
and that's why I'd like to come in
and have a discussion tomorrow.
414
00:30:16,036 --> 00:30:21,000
With Jamie present as well.
..Thanks very much. Bye now.
415
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,044
She said she'd asked you
and you had said no.
416
00:30:27,044 --> 00:30:32,028
Should I have said that,
that it wasn't true? Well, no.
417
00:30:32,028 --> 00:30:36,072
But it was spur of the moment.
I was scared.I know, I know.
418
00:30:36,072 --> 00:30:42,044
She'll understand that tomorrow,
but I think you need to tell her
the truth.
419
00:30:42,044 --> 00:30:44,048
Give us a love.
420
00:30:47,012 --> 00:30:49,056
You all right, sweetheart?
421
00:30:51,068 --> 00:30:58,052
Jamie's dad is on his way
to pick him up, giving him
just enough time to change.
422
00:30:58,052 --> 00:31:02,012
I've tried to be all casual
and boyish.
423
00:31:02,012 --> 00:31:06,080
Jamie, you don't have to be boyish,
darling. You are who you are.
424
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:12,072
Track suit bottoms,
creased top and white plimsolls
I haven't worn in about two years.
425
00:31:12,072 --> 00:31:17,016
Are you happy?That's what you wear
walking, isn't it?
426
00:31:17,016 --> 00:31:21,088
I just want his acceptance.
That's all I want.
427
00:31:21,088 --> 00:31:26,084
'This moment's been building
for years and years, coming, like.'
428
00:31:26,084 --> 00:31:32,088
Pretty much as much as I can
remember, like, from when
I started doing it,
429
00:31:33,084 --> 00:31:39,072
I knew this day would come
eventually and it's going to happen
in a matter of minutes.
430
00:31:48,036 --> 00:31:50,040
Here he is.
431
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,040
Oh, my God!
432
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,088
Help!
433
00:31:54,088 --> 00:31:57,036
Be honest. Tell him everything.
434
00:31:57,036 --> 00:32:01,032
Deep breath,
don't let him walk away. OK?
435
00:32:01,032 --> 00:32:03,016
Bye!
436
00:32:04,012 --> 00:32:06,016
Be brave.
437
00:32:09,096 --> 00:32:12,048
How do you feel? Sick.
438
00:32:14,052 --> 00:32:17,052
Come on, you two.
Let's go for a walk.
439
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,024
How long's he been gone?
440
00:32:33,024 --> 00:32:35,028
About 20 minutes.
441
00:32:35,028 --> 00:32:38,016
Nineteen and a half!
442
00:32:38,016 --> 00:32:43,052
At least he hasn't turned the car
round and brought him immediately
back! So that's a bonus.
443
00:32:48,060 --> 00:32:50,072
Mam!How's it gone?
444
00:32:50,072 --> 00:32:53,036
It was quite good, actually,
445
00:32:53,036 --> 00:32:57,020
but can I go to the toilet
before I fill you in?
446
00:32:57,020 --> 00:33:00,012
I'm desperate.Right, hurry up.
447
00:33:05,008 --> 00:33:07,032
SHE EXHALES NERVOUSLY
448
00:33:08,028 --> 00:33:14,052
It was more positive than negative.
Basically, I got in the car
and he was like,
449
00:33:14,052 --> 00:33:20,096
"What's this about?"
Then, basically, after a while
I just came out and said, "Yeah,
450
00:33:20,096 --> 00:33:26,076
"I want to be a drag queen."
And he sort of, like,
looked a bit taken aback for a bit.
451
00:33:26,076 --> 00:33:33,020
Then he was like,
"To be honest, it would be a lie
to say that I didn't see it coming."
452
00:33:33,020 --> 00:33:39,056
Did you think he supported you? Did
you tell him how he made you feel?
I told him about the performance.
453
00:33:39,056 --> 00:33:42,020
I don't think he wants to come.
454
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:44,020
SHE SIGHS
455
00:33:44,020 --> 00:33:46,012
And then...
456
00:33:46,012 --> 00:33:53,072
I went on to prom
and that's where he was like,
"I don't think you should do that.
457
00:33:53,072 --> 00:33:59,092
"That's like slapping people
in the face, like." I sort of
do understand what he's saying.
458
00:33:59,092 --> 00:34:02,076
Well, are you going to prom?
459
00:34:02,076 --> 00:34:04,076
I don't think so.
460
00:34:05,072 --> 00:34:10,088
I just feel as if
you're giving in too easy.
You've had this planned for months
461
00:34:10,088 --> 00:34:16,096
and now you've had 10 minutes
of your dad and you're like,
"Oh, I don't want to do it."
462
00:34:16,096 --> 00:34:19,060
I'm not going to be able to get in!
463
00:34:19,060 --> 00:34:23,064
Well, can't say any more
than that, can I?
464
00:34:23,064 --> 00:34:28,028
You're just always going to find
an excuse to say he's in the wrong.
465
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,052
I just think you should be as honest
with him as you are with me.
466
00:34:38,048 --> 00:34:44,068
The next day, Jamie and his mum
have had their meeting
with the Head of Year.
467
00:34:44,068 --> 00:34:50,092
The school said they want to ensure
that all students are able to enjoy
equal attention at prom
468
00:34:50,092 --> 00:34:54,044
so they have discouraged Jamie
from wearing a dress.
469
00:34:54,044 --> 00:34:56,008
Hi.
470
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,004
What now?No...
471
00:35:04,008 --> 00:35:11,020
The people who I'm listening to now
are telling me, like,
reasons why I shouldn't do it
472
00:35:11,020 --> 00:35:15,064
and not many people
have really said it's a good idea.
473
00:35:15,064 --> 00:35:21,048
I think you need to seriously decide
what you want to do now.
Well, I am. That's what I'm doing.
474
00:35:21,048 --> 00:35:27,012
I can't talk to you when you're in
this mood.Well, you're talking
to me like I'm an idiot.
475
00:35:27,012 --> 00:35:30,012
Well, stop acting like one.I'm not!
476
00:35:32,060 --> 00:35:35,024
For God's sake.
477
00:35:35,024 --> 00:35:41,088
You always say things like that
and make me sound stupid, then you
go off storming like I'm wrong.
478
00:35:41,088 --> 00:35:47,052
Because, Jamie,
it's things you knew.
I just don't understand now why...
479
00:35:47,052 --> 00:35:53,004
Because I'm not going to get in!
It's not as if it's the first time
it's been mentioned.
480
00:35:53,004 --> 00:35:57,040
Are you the person running prom?
The person that lets people in?
481
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:02,004
No, just there to pick the bits up
as usual.I'm just being sensible!
482
00:36:02,004 --> 00:36:06,056
You should have thought about
this...Well, I'm sorry! I didn't!
483
00:36:06,056 --> 00:36:11,020
And that's my fault.Cos I was
blinded by what I wanted to do.
484
00:36:12,016 --> 00:36:18,068
Now I've thought about it,
now I know what'll happen,
now I know the consequences.
485
00:36:18,068 --> 00:36:21,044
Now I've thought differently.

488
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,052
Today, at this moment in time,
I'm thinking of not going through
with it,
489
00:36:48,052 --> 00:36:55,056
but I think I really do need
to clear my head and think about it
cos it is a really big decision.
490
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:03,004
Like, I knew there was going to be
people against it, but until
I was called into that office
491
00:37:03,004 --> 00:37:08,088
to say they'd had a complaint
about it, it hasn't really sunk in
until now.
492
00:37:08,088 --> 00:37:14,072
It's easy saying it's going to be
a challenge and it'll be hard
and I'll fight it,
493
00:37:14,072 --> 00:37:21,008
but when it does come
it's hard to, like, fight it.
It's harder than just saying it.
494
00:37:21,008 --> 00:37:23,072
How long do you leave it on for?
495
00:37:25,052 --> 00:37:27,052
It stinks!
496
00:37:28,072 --> 00:37:30,096

Jamie is still committed to going

502
00:37:57,088 --> 00:38:04,076
Quite a lot of it's not working.
It's cos I'm nervous. You don't know
how nervous I am.It's all right.

None of these, right?
509
00:38:27,076 --> 00:38:33,080
Now that his drag plans
have leaked out at school,
he's taking another big step.
510
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:39,080
After years of secrecy, he has
decided to tell his school friends
exactly what he's doing
511
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:44,004
and invite them to the show.How did
you feel when you pressed "send"?

00:38:44,004 --> 00:38:49,088
Like, it took me a while.
It took me about five minutes.
I was sat like...

00:38:49,088 --> 00:38:51,092
My God. Oh, my God.
514
00:38:51,092 --> 00:38:57,080
And then I sent it and went, "Ohh!"
Like, it was so...dramatic,
obviously, cos it's me,
515
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:02,012
but that's basically
the first time people finding out.
516
00:39:02,012 --> 00:39:06,068
Dad rang me. He was like,
"So you've put it out in public."
517
00:39:06,068 --> 00:39:11,020
I was like, "Are you going to come
to the show?" He was like, "No."
518
00:39:11,020 --> 00:39:13,024
So I was like, "OK."
519
00:39:14,052 --> 00:39:16,080
I'd say about that.

00:47:50,028 --> 00:47:52,032
Hello!
638
00:47:52,032 --> 00:47:53,052
Whoo!
639
00:48:03,060 --> 00:48:07,004
He looked really natural.
We're very proud.
640
00:48:07,004 --> 00:48:10,080
Don't feel anything.
Jamie, you look beautiful.
641
00:48:11,088 --> 00:48:15,076
What is that digging in my back?
My hand.
642
00:48:34,036 --> 00:48:39,044
I know if I don't go to prom now
I'll look back in even a week's time
643
00:48:39,044 --> 00:48:41,092
and go, "I wish I'd done that!"
644
00:48:41,092 --> 00:48:44,060
So I'm gonna do it.
645
00:48:51,076 --> 00:48:56,096
Two weeks later, the day
of the prom has finally arrived.
646
00:48:56,096 --> 00:49:01,008
Still unsure whether the school will
let him through the door,
647
00:49:01,008 --> 00:49:05,012
Jamie is preparing for
the biggest night of his life.
648
00:49:05,012 --> 00:49:12,068
I've wanted this day for so long.
Now I'm doing this for me even
before I get to face the critics.
649
00:49:12,068 --> 00:49:16,068
I'm not gonna let those people think
they've changed me.
650
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:23,048
You've tried to make me weak and you
haven't. You've made me stronger.
651
00:49:23,048 --> 00:49:26,028
That's what this is about.
652
00:49:26,028 --> 00:49:33,032
Jamie, I've got this for you.
Aww...It's not a present. It's
just a little letter. Thank you.
653
00:49:35,036 --> 00:49:40,048
I wanted you to have it before prom.
Oh, you're so cute.
654
00:49:40,048 --> 00:49:47,024
'Dear Jamie, writing letters isn't
something I do very often,
so count yourself lucky.
655
00:49:48,024 --> 00:49:54,084
'Looking back over the years,
I can't believe how much
you've developed as a person,
656
00:49:54,084 --> 00:50:00,064
'but the real change started
only a few months ago.'
Don't cry! Your makeup!
657
00:50:01,060 --> 00:50:04,024
I don't know what to say!
658
00:50:05,060 --> 00:50:10,044
'I can't forget the first time I saw
you dancing around in your heels.
659
00:50:11,068 --> 00:50:18,056
'There are no words to express
just how proud I am of you
and how much you mean to me.'
660
00:50:19,076 --> 00:50:22,080
Oh, it's not a good idea any more!
Help!
661
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:27,068
'You're like my best friend and
the brother I never had, all in one.'
662
00:50:27,068 --> 00:50:35,032
I'm going to pass out.'You're
brave, strong and more courageous
than any other boy I've ever known.'
663
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:44,036
Jamie's meeting friends
to have photos taken in the park
before going on to prom.
664
00:50:45,032 --> 00:50:46,044
Jamie!
665
00:50:46,044 --> 00:50:50,096
You're gorgeous. I am so dying
right now!Here we are.
666
00:50:50,096 --> 00:50:55,084
No, Jamie, you look gorgeous.
They're lush.
667
00:50:55,084 --> 00:50:57,068
Are you ready? Yeah.
668
00:51:00,008 --> 00:51:03,028
It's not Jamie! It's Fifi, everyone!
669
00:51:03,028 --> 00:51:05,092
No haters, please, no haters.
670
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:18,080
You look gorgeous, Jamie.
Hi!I can't believe I'm doing this.
671
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,036
Hi, Jamie.
672
00:51:22,096 --> 00:51:26,000
Do you think he'll get in?Yes.
673
00:51:27,016 --> 00:51:30,048
I'll give him a dance.
674
00:51:30,048 --> 00:51:34,064
At least I'm the only one in black.
We just all accepted him.
675
00:51:34,064 --> 00:51:37,068
# Where are we? #
676
00:51:37,068 --> 00:51:40,024
But these are Jamie's friends.
677
00:51:40,024 --> 00:51:43,024
# What the hell
678
00:51:43,024 --> 00:51:46,076
# Is going on? #
679
00:51:46,076 --> 00:51:51,088
What will his teachers
and the rest of the year think?
680
00:51:51,088 --> 00:51:57,072
# The dust has only just
begun to form
681
00:51:58,068 --> 00:52:01,072
# Crop circles in the carpet... #
682
00:52:01,072 --> 00:52:06,004
From this point on, the crew
do not have permission to film.
683
00:52:08,020 --> 00:52:12,020
But one of his friends has
a small home video camera.
684
00:52:12,020 --> 00:52:14,064
SHRIEKS AND CHEERING
685
00:52:15,060 --> 00:52:17,060
Hi, guys!
686
00:52:23,092 --> 00:52:25,096
Everyone's getting a hug.
687
00:52:25,096 --> 00:52:30,000
Jamie has told his teachers
that he would come in a suit.
688
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:35,064
He's turned up and all the kids
are dead excited.
They've all come to see him.
689
00:52:35,064 --> 00:52:40,092
One of the teachers spoke to Jamie
and said he was told not to come.
690
00:52:46,032 --> 00:52:52,052
Before the teachers can deliver
their verdict, parents and students
jump to defend Jamie's actions.
691
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,084
The kids are saying that if he
doesn't go in, they're not going in.
692
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,032
At last, Jamie has his answer.
693
00:53:16,096 --> 00:53:19,040
Fifi will go to the ball.
694
00:53:20,036 --> 00:53:22,020
Oh! Wig!
695
00:53:22,020 --> 00:53:26,024
All the kids kicked off
and they wanted him in.
696
00:53:26,024 --> 00:53:32,012
She was a bit adamant about it,
but she's come back and she said,
yes, he can go in.
697
00:53:32,012 --> 00:53:36,016
Oh, excellent, excellent.
So that was it. Great.
698
00:53:36,016 --> 00:53:40,080
Oh, good, good. His mam
will be dead pleased, then. Yeah.
699
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,044
Hello?
700
00:53:53,076 --> 00:53:56,084
I've got so much more than I wanted.
701
00:53:58,020 --> 00:54:03,052
People are more accepting
than I thought they were gonna be.
702
00:54:03,052 --> 00:54:10,044
Everybody, the parents, all of
the students outside, stood up
for me. "You have to let him in."
703
00:54:10,044 --> 00:54:13,008
I'm not alone, like.
704
00:54:13,008 --> 00:54:18,096
I had these people fighting for me
and it just felt great
that I have got support.
705
00:54:35,028 --> 00:54:39,032
'Well, this morning I just woke up
and I had two messages.'
706
00:54:39,032 --> 00:54:45,004
One was off Orange
and, em, one was off Dad.
707
00:54:45,004 --> 00:54:50,020
Basically saying that
he's not happy at my decision
708
00:54:50,020 --> 00:54:53,064
to go to prom the way I did
709
00:54:53,064 --> 00:54:56,008
and, apparently,
710
00:54:56,008 --> 00:54:59,032
I've ruined everybody's night
711
00:54:59,032 --> 00:55:02,096
for my own...self gain.
712
00:55:02,096 --> 00:55:06,020
And, at the end...
713
00:55:06,020 --> 00:55:11,064
it sounds like he doesn't really
want to see me again.
714
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:21,068
I told him this big thing
about me wanting to be a drag queen,
715
00:55:21,068 --> 00:55:28,048
face to face with him,
and he's done this over text.
How childish is that, eh?
716
00:55:28,048 --> 00:55:35,060
I'm not bothered. I'm not gonna cry
in my room that I haven't got his
support. I'm not gonna fight for it.
717
00:55:35,060 --> 00:55:38,060
He'll come round when he's ready.
718
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,000
MUSIC: "Hey, Big Spender"
719
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,084
# Wouldn't you like to have fun... #
720
00:55:50,084 --> 00:55:58,048
'Doing this the whole way through,
I thought people would stereotype me
as this seedy drag queen.'
721
00:55:58,048 --> 00:56:00,040
# ..good time
722
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,024
# Let me show you a... #
723
00:56:03,024 --> 00:56:07,028
'But it's been me
that's been stereotyping people.'
724
00:56:07,028 --> 00:56:14,032
# The minute you walked in... #
'I was the wrong one,
thinking the worst of people.'
725
00:56:14,032 --> 00:56:18,048
# A real big spender... #
'I looked at prom as the end.
726
00:56:18,048 --> 00:56:21,068
'It's not really.
It's just the beginning.'
727
00:56:21,068 --> 00:56:23,092
# ..going on in my mind?
728
00:56:23,092 --> 00:56:26,092
# So let me get right to the point
729
00:56:26,092 --> 00:56:32,008
# I don't pop my cork
For every guy I see
730
00:56:33,004 --> 00:56:36,020
# Hey, big spender
731
00:56:37,016 --> 00:56:40,008
# Hey, big spender

00:56:41,004 --> 00:56:44,048
# Hey, big spender
733
00:56:45,092 --> 00:56:48,032
# Spend
734
00:56:48,032 --> 00:56:52,036
# A little time with me! #
