NOT TO FEEL DISTRAUGHT

EVEN ANGRY AT THIS SEEMINGLY

SENSELESS LOSS

GOD HAS ALSO GIVEN A HEALING GIFT TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE BELIEVERS

THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WHAT OTHERS CALL DEATH

IS NOT ACTUALLY

AN ENDING

BUT A NEW BEGINNING

THIS YOUNG MAN

WHO WE ALL LOVED SO MUCH

WHOM WE WILL ALL MISS SO TERRIBLY

CHAZ HAS BEGUN THE NEXT STAGE

IN HIS AMAZING JOURNEY

WITH A NEW LIFE

AND A NEW FLESH

MORE PERFECT THAN ANYTHING

WE CAN EVEN IMAGINE

LET US BE INSPIRED

BY THE LIFE OF CHAZ YOUNG

TO MAKE OUR OWN LIVES

A TESTAMENT TO YOUR GLORY

HE WAS WITH US

WE ENJOYED HIS COMPANY

BASKED IN HIS SPIRIT

AND NOW HE'S GONE FROM US

IN THE FLESH

BUT HIS MEMORY WILL REMAIN

WITH US FOREVER

LET US ALL STRIVE

TO LIVE UP TO THAT MEMORY

TO LIVE UP TO THE GIFT

WHICH YOU HAVE GIVEN US

BY LETTING US KNOW

THIS REMARKABLE YOUNG MAN

IN JESUS' NAME, WE PRAY

AMEN

WELL, I KNOW CHAZ WOULD NEVER WANT US

TO SIT AROUND AND BE BORING

YOU KNOW, HE'D WANT US

TO HAVE FUN

LIKE OLD TIMES, MAN

I FIGURE I GET TWO CARDS FOR FREE

SO I AIN'T PAYING UNTIL I SEE A PAIR

WHAT'S SO FUNNY ?

THAT'S WHAT YOU DO

NO, I DON'T

BUT SERIOUSLY

HOW COME YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE ?

I COULDN'T AFFORD TO LOSE

AND NOW ?

I STILL GOT SOME OF THE MONEY CHAZ PAID ME

NICK LOOKS LIKE HE'S HAVING FUN

BUT IF YOU GUYS DON'T LET ME WIN

MY DAD WILL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF ME

AND THEN I'LL HAVE TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU

TWO AND A HALF.

NO WAY

THAT'S 201

HE'S BLUFFING

WHY DON'T YOU PAY UP AND FIND OUT ?

NAH, FORGET IT

KID'S GOT THE PERFECT

POKER FACE

WHAT'D YOU HAVE ?

SEVENS ? REALLY ? I PUT DOWN MY KING FOR THAT ?

WELL PLAYED

BLUFFING IS INTENSE

THIS KID'S LIKE A WHIZ

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT ?

I MEMORIZED ALL THE ODDS

NICK, DON'T TELL EVERYONE

WHAT YOU'RE THINKING

THAT'S STUPID

PLAY THE MAN

NOT THE CARDS

WELL, TELL ME ABOUT CHAZ

YOUR BROTHER WAS

ALWAYS JEALOUS OF ME

NO, GO AHEAD, LAUGH

LAUGH, GUYS

BECAUSE SERIOUSLY

I REALLY DO FEEL LIKE

CHAZ FELT SMOTHERED

SOMETIMES I EVEN THINK

THAT HE WISHES HE WAS

BORN INTO A DIFFERENT FAMILY

ARE YOU JOKING ?

I'M SORRY. I WASN'T THINKING

CHAZ SAID THAT FRIDAY NIGHTS WERE VIDEO GAME NIGHTS

WHY WOULD HE LIE TO ME ?

MAYBE HE DIDN'T WANT TO CORRUPT YOU

LOSE YOUR RESPECT

IF HE ALWAYS WON

WHERE DID HIS MONEY GO ?

NICK, WHERE WAIT UP, DUDE !

SEE YOU GUYS LATER

LATER

AM I THE ONLY ONE

WHO THINKS THIS KID IS AN ABSOLUTE WEIRDO ?

HE'S GOT ASPERGER SYNDROME

LIKE RAIN MAN

NO, NO, MORE LIKE MONK

CHAZ THOUGHT THE KID

COULD BE - MORE NORMAL

HE WAS WORKING WITH HIM ROING BEMOD

WHAT THE HELL IS BEMOD ?

B-E-M-O-D. SHORT FOR

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION

ENCOURAGES HIM TO OPEN UP

DISCOURAGES HIM

FROM SHUTTING DOWN

NICK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?

I LOOKED EVERYWHERE WHERE WOULD YOU

HIDE YOUR STUFF ?

SCHOOL LOCKER.

MY DAD CLEANED IT OUT.

WELL, REMEMBER THAT TIME

WHEN HE SCREWED UP

AND HE HAD TO DO COMMUNITY SERVICE ?

HE NEVER STOPPED GOING,

EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN'T

HAVE TO ANYMORE.

MAYBE HE HAS A LOCKER THERE.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE THAT PLACE IS ?

RANDY WOULD.

HE'S DRIVEN HIM THERE.

I'LL CALL HIM.

HAPPY NOW? LET'S GO.

NO. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT

HAPPENED TO CHAZ'S MONEY.

ALL RIGHT, SO GO.

I GOT THINGS TO DO.

WHAT?

IF YOU GO, HOW AM I

GONNA GET HOME?

Girl: RANDY?

IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE.

I HAVEN'T SET EYES ON YOU SINCE

THIS IS MISS LEE.

SHE WAS CHAZ'S DRAMA TEACHER.

FRESHMAN YEAR.

AND THIS IS NICK...YOUNG.

NICK, I'VE HEARD

HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT YOU.

WELL, WELCOME

TO THE FIREHOUSE.

YOU KNOW, YOUR BROTHER

SUGGESTED THE NAME.

BEFORE THAT

I CALLED IT THE DIVERSITY

CONNECTION CENTER.

LAME, HUH?

WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT HAT ?

YOU'VE NEVER DREAMED OF BEING A FLYING NUN ?

OF BEING A FLYING NUN?

MISS LEE,

I'M OUT OF GLUE.

I LIKE THE TRUCKS.

NICE TOUCH.

YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE FEATHERS?

THEY KEPT MAKING ME SNEEZE.

WE'VE GOT OUR

BIG SHOW COMING UP.

THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE

A REAL COMMUNITY CENTER PLACE.

WELL, YOU KNOW ABOUT

THE LIBRARY INCIDENT, RIGHT?

CHAZ WAS GAMBLING ONLINE.

IT WAS EITHER SUSPENSION

OR 50 HOURS COMMUNITY SERVICE.

EVEN AFTER HE FINISHED

HIS SERVICE, CHAZ KEPT COMING BACK HERE

DID YOU TAKE HIS MONEY?

WHAT HE DONATED.

HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU TAKE ?

HE GAVE OVER $20,000.

HE JUST KEPT GIVING AND GIVING

SAID THAT HE HAD TO.

IT WAS HIS DREAM.

I'M GLAD YOU MADE IT HERE

BY YOURSELF.

WHY DON'T YOU STICK AROUND? I'LL SHOW YOU...

NO, I'M...I'M SORRY.

NICK'S

NICK'S GOTTA GET HOME.

CHAZ CALLED THE COMMUNITY SERVICE PLACE, "THE FIREHOUSE".

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

RANDY TOOK ME THERE.

IF YOU WANT TO DO COMMUNITY SERVICE

I'LL TALK TO THE PASTOR,

BUT I DON'T THINK YOU

SHOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING YOUR BROTHER DID

TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS.

NICK.

THE BEACH. HONEY, I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO

WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE BOYS,

WE WOULD TAKE YOU TO

THE BEACH ON SUNDAYS.

AT DUSK, HOMELESS PEOPLE

WOULD GET READY FOR SLEEP

NEXT TO THEIR SHOPPING CARTS,

AND CHAZ WOULD ALWAYS ASK,

"WHY CAN'T WE TAKE THEM HOME, MOMMY ?"

DO YOU REMEMBER, B.B.?

YEARS LATER, WE WERE DRIVING

THROUGH SKID ROW,

AND CHAZ SPOTTED

AN ABANDONED FIREHOUSE,

OLD AND CHARMING,

SQUISHED BETWEEN TENEMENTS.

AND HE SAID HE'D

BUY IT ONE DAY

AND HE'D KEEP IT OPEN FOR EVERYONE

HE SAID EVERYBODY

SHOULD HAVE A PLACE

WHERE THEY FEEL

SAFE AND

PROTECTED

WHAT'S YOUR PASSWORD ?

"I".

"O".

"E"?

I DIDN'T REALIZE WE LOST SO MUCH.

BUT NOBODY COULD READ PEOPLE

THE WAY CHAZ COULD.

$25,000 ?

THAT'S GOTTA BE MORE

THAN MY ENTIRE FAMILY HAS.

MY MOM CLEANS TWO,

THREE HOUSES EVERY DAY

AND THE CHURCH ONCE A WEEK.

YOU GONNA VOLUNTEER UP THERE ?

I'M NOT SURE.

I'LL GO WITH YOU

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND.

ANY FRIEND OF YOUR BROTHER'S

IS A FRIEND OF MINE.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

Doug: HEY, DUDE

WHERE ARE YOU ?

UH, SOMETHING'S COME UP

YEAH, RIGHT.

I TOOK CARE OF HIM YESTERDAY IT'S YOUR TURN.

TRY AND REMEMBER

HOW YOU FELT WHEN YOU TURNED 15

WHAT DO I HAVE TO OFFER

SOME 15-YEAR-OLD KID ?

JUST LOOK FURTHER AHEAD AND RELAX

BEMOD, DUDE. COME ON.

COME ON, SHAKE IT OFF

COME ON, SHAKE IT OFF

NICK, STOP !

GOOD JOB ALMOST HIT A LAMPPOST

BUT GOOD JOB

DO YOU WANT TO

VOLUNTEER AT THE FIREHOUSE ?

NO. BUT DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU, BUDDY

DID CHAZ HAVE SEX WITH THAT MISS LEE

OR WAS HE IN LOVE ?

WAIT, WHAT? DID HE HAVE SEX WITH WHO ?

DIDN'T YOU SEE THE PICTURES

OF THEM DANCING ?

AND ?

YOU CAN TELL ME

WERE THEY IN LOVE ?

WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING ?

'CAUSE MISS LEE'S A LESBIAN

A LESBIAN ?

YEAH. SHE CAME OUT

IN THE SCHOOL NEWSPAPER

BEFORE SHE LEFT

I...I CAN'T CRACK CHAZ'S PASSWORD

HUH ?

CHAZ SAID I COULD READ HIS EMAILS

IF HE WAS ABDUCTED BY ALIENS

NICK, CHAZ WAS JOKING

NOBODY WANTS OTHER PEOPLE

TO READ THEIR STUFF

BUT I'M HIS BROTHER

COME ON, LET'S GO AGAIN CONCENTRATE THIS TIME

PLEASE DON'T HIT A LAMPPOST

IT'S EXPENSIVE

OKAY. RIGHT. REVERSE

GLAD YOU MADE IT HEY, DO EITHER OF YOU DANCE ?

NICK CAN PLAY THE PIANO

HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT ?

HOW DO YOU THINK ?

HE SAID, "I'M YOUR DAD

LOOK, I BROUGHT YOU A BARBIE

I HOPE YOU'LL BE AS PRETTY

AND FAMOUS AS A BARBIE

WHEN YOU GROW UP"

THEN HE WENT TO TALK WITH MY UNCLES

I NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN

LUCY, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU LET ME KNOW IF YOU

WANT THIS TO BE IN OUR SHOW

OTHERWISE, NO ONE WILL SEE IT

WHAT'S IN THERE ? VIDEO DIARIES

CHAZ WAS COLLECTING

TO SHOW AT OUR FUNDRAISING EVENT

CHAZ THOUGHT THIS

WOULD BE A GOOD WAY FOR

THE FIREHOUSE KIDS TO

GET STUFF OFF THEIR CHEST

MOST OF THEM HAVE MADE MORE THAN ONE

DID CHAZ MAKE ONE ?

I WANT TO SEE IT SORRY, NICK, I DON'T HAVE IT

I WAS GONNA ASK YOU TO CHECK HIS COMPUTER

HIS LAPTOP'S GONE

THEN IT'S PROBABLY GONE

HE SAID HE NEEDED TO EDIT IT

WHAT WOULD HE TALK ABOUT ?

SORRY, NICK

I NEVER SAW IT

NICK, WAIT... YOU SHOULD MAKE ONE

WHEN DID CHAZ LOSE HIS VIRGINITY ?

GOD, YOU'RE ONE-TRACK-MINDED

"IF I HAVE EVER MADE

ANY VALUABLE DISCOVERIES"

STOP

WHAT ARE THOSE ? PUFFINS

CHAZ'S FAVORITE CEREAL

IT WAS ?

PRETTY GOOD YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE

WHO KNOWS STUFF ABOUT HIM

I'LL TAKE THOSE

DAMN...

NICK DOES IT AGAIN

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF JAMIE GOLD ?

NO

JAMIE GOLD WAS

A HOLLYWOOD PRODUCER

WHO WON $12 MILLION

IN THE WORLD POKER CHAMPIONSHIP

AND... I DON'T KNOW, MAN

YOUR BROTHER WAS GOOD

CHAZ WAS REALLY GOOD

BUT YOU'RE...BETTER

YOU KNOW ?

GET THESE CARDS MIXED GOOD HOW DO YOU DO IT ?

I MEAN, I'LL SAY THIS

YOU'RE NOT STUPID

SO WHAT ARE YOU ?

WILLFULLY OBNOXIOUS OR JUST MEAN ?

YOU THREW THE GAME ON PURPOSE

WHAT, AND YOU WERE GONNA TELL EVERYONE ?

SERIOUSLY ? HOW WOULD THAT

HAVE MADE DOUG FEEL ?

ANSWER ME

YOU BROKE THE RULES DOUG'S BEEN NOTHING

BUT NICE TO YOU

SINCE WHEN ARE THE RULES

IN A STUPID GAME

MORE IMPORTANT THAN

YOUR FRIEND'S FEELINGS ?

IT'S NEVER JUST ABOUT

THE CARDS OR THE MONEY

TELL ME YOU GET IT

TELL ME YOU CAN

UNDERSTAND IF YOU TRY

CHAZ ?

ARE YOU HUNGRY ? B.B.?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ? GOOD DENTAL HYGIENE

IS VERY IMPORTANT

YOU CAN'T DO THAT

THAT'S GROSS

GOOD POINT

CHAZ WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE ME FEEL NORMAL

NOW YOU HAVE TO DO THAT YOURSELF

HOW CAN I DO THAT ?

BY PRACTICING THE THINGS

THAT CHAZ MADE YOU DO

WITHOUT HIM ?

I...I CAN'T

IT'S NOT EASY

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN OVERNIGHT

BUT THAT'S WHAT

BEMOD IS ALL ABOUT

YOU GOTTA KEEP TRYING UNTIL YOU START

TO FEEL NORMAL

THAT WAS A REALLY NICE THING YOU DID FOR DOUG

I SHOULDN'T HAVE JUMPED ALL OVER YOU

I'M SORRY

NICK ?

LUKE WANTS TO PLAY CHESS WITH YOU

NO

NICK, WHAT DID WE AGREE ON ?

NO ?

WE'LL ALL HAVE BRUNCH

AND THEN YOU'LL PLAY CHESS

I GAVE HIM

THE BIGGEST HANDICAP

QUEEN ODDS

AND I STILL BEAT HIM

THEN GIVE HIM QUEEN AND TWO ROOKS

TRY TO ACT NORMAL ?

I AM TIRED OF YOU

MAKING ME FEEL

LIKE YOU'RE

A TICKING TIME BOMB ?

TRY TO ACT NORMAL

OR ELSE !

OLIVER !

OH, THAT'S IT !

OLIVER, STOP IT !

YOU'RE MAKING SUCH A SCENE

I STARTED TO WONDER IF MAYBE THE HOSPITAL

HAD MADE A MISTAKE AND

GIVEN US SOMEONE ELSE'S SON

REALLY ?

I READ ABOUT A LOT OF

CASES JUST LIKE THAT ON THE INTERNET

BUT WHAT MADE

YOU THINK IT HAD HAPPENED TO YOU ?

NO ONE IN MY FAMILY

OR IRENE'S FAMILY

HAS NICK'S PROBLEMS

AND AS HE GREW OLDER

HE STARTED TO LOOK LESS LIKE US

LESS CHINESE, EVEN

TO ME, HE LOOKS A LOT LIKE CHAZ

IT WAS STUPID

I HAD A D.N.A. TEST DONE

AND IRENE

IS LIKE MY MOTHER

SHE HAS A BAD HABIT

OF OPENING OTHER

PEOPLE'S MAIL

MUST'VE MADE HER VERY UPSET

UPSET

I KNOW HE'S MY SON BUT STILL, I CAN'T

HELP THINKING OF NICK

AS CHAZ'S SHADOW

AND NOW IT'S LIKE

SOME CRUEL JOKE

CHAZ IS GONE

THAT'S MY PUNISHMENT FOR WHAT ?

OH, ISN'T IT OBVIOUS ?

WHAT WAS THERE ?

B.B., YOU'RE BACK DID YOU GO SHOPPING

WITH RANDY ?

CAN I SEE ?

HE'S SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME WITH RANDY

JUST STOP IT

IT'S STRANGE

DON'T YOU THINK ?

DID YOU SEE ?

HE GOT ORANGE

CAN YOU GET HIM TO BUY ORANGE ?

I THOUGHT

YOU WANTED HIM TO HAVE FRIENDS

I'M THE ONE WHO'S

TRYING TO HELP HIM FIND FRIENDS

AT CHURCH, EVERY WEEK

Chaz: IT'S OKAY, KEN DON'T WORRY ABOUT

THE CAMERAS

THEY'RE JUST THERE

THEY'RE JUST IN THE CORNER

JUST TALK TO ME LIKE WE'RE FRIENDS

'CAUSE WE ARE FRIENDS

NO ONE ELSE WILL SEE THIS

UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO

COME ON, TALK TO ME

Ken: WHEN MY MOM

SIGNED ME UP FOR CAMP IN MALIBU

I WAS REAL EXCITED

I'VE NEVER SEEN THE OCEAN BEFORE

BUT HOW COULD WE AFFORD IT ?

SHE SAID IT WAS

A SPECIAL CAMP

FREE FOR KIDS AFFECTED BY AIDS

SO I WAS, LIKE, "OH

SHE SAID, "NO, BABY

HE KEPT PROCRASTINATING

CHAZ WANTED TO COME OUT

BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO

HURT YOUR FEELINGS

HYPOCRITICAL...LYING... DISCUSTING FREAK !

CHAZ WENT OUT OF HIS WAY

TO LOVE AND PROTECT YOU

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT NORMAL, EITHER

WELL, SCREW NORMAL

AND SCREW YOU !

IF YOU HADN'T BEEN

SO DAMN NEEDY

CHAZ WOULD'VE RIDDEN

AND HE WOULD'VE STILL BEEN ALIVE TODAY

I'M GAY

SO WHAT ?

THAT'S A CRIME ?

AND YOU KNOW WHAT ?

WE NEVER EVEN HELD HANDS IN PUBLIC

WHY ?

BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU

WE'RE GOING TO YOUR FAVOURITE DIM SUM PLACE

NICK, OPEN THE DOOR!

NICK, I'M JUST GONNA GET THE KEY

YOU'RE NOT DRESSED ?

ARE YOU SICK, B.B.? STOP CALLING ME THAT.

THERE IS NO REASON

TO GET UPSET, B.B.

I'M NOT YOUR B.B.,

AND I'M NOT YOUR BABY.

PLEASE, WE'VE GOT

TO STOP FIGHTING.

SOONER OR LATER, WE'VE GOT

TO GET BACK TO NORMAL?

NORMAL ?

YOU MEAN LIKE HAVING A BROTHER

WHO'S GAY ?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?

YOUR PERFECT CHAZ WAS GAY, AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW

BE QUIET!

STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU!

YOU DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT HE WAS GAY

SO YOU SLAP ME ?!

YOU'RE THE ONE

WHO NEEDS BEATING

YOU ARE GROUNDED

IF YOU HADN'T GROUNDED CHAZ

HE WOULD'VE BEEN DRIVING THAT DAY

AND NOT BIKING

HE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT !

THAT IS ENOUGH !

YOU KNOW HE'S A GAMBLER ? AND THE FIREHOUSE

THE PLACE HE VOLUNTEERS AT

IS FILLED WITH ILLEGALS

AND IT'S RUN BY A LESBIAN

HE MADE VIDEO DIARIES THERE THERE PROBABLY TELLING

EVERYONE ABOUT RANDY

HIS BOYFRIEND

NICK !

Irene: NICK ? LET'S GET SOME LUNCH, HUH ?

WE CAN TALK ABOUT

WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING

I'M SURE IT'S ALL

A HORRIBLE MISUNDERSTANDING

NICK, OPEN THE DOOR, PLEASE

I'LL GO GET THE KEY

THESE PERMITS ARE EXPIRED

Irene: MISS LEE ?

MR. AND MRS. YOUNG HI. WHAT A SURPRISE

THE SHOW DOESN'T START

MISS LEE, WHERE'S NICK ?

HE'S NOT HERE YET

WHERE IS HE ?

DOUG, DO YOU KNOW WHERE NICK IS ?

NO

HEY, MR. AND MRS. YOUNG

WHY ? WHAT'S WRONG ?

I THINK NICK'S RUN AWAY FROM HOME

WHAT ?

SHOULD WE CALL THE POLICE ?

NO, CALL THE OTHER GUYS

AND SEE IF THEY KNOW WHERE HE IS

AND IF NOT, ASK THEM

TO GO LOOK FOR HIM

ALL RIGHT

YOU SHOULD WAIT IN MY OFFICE

YOU MENTIONED A SHOW

YES, I AM SURE

NICK WILL BE HERE FOR THIS

YOU SHOULD STAY

AND, IN FACT

WE'RE PLAYING VIDEO DIARIES

YOU'LL HEAR CHAZ ON ONE OF THEM

VIDEO DIARIES ?

I REALLY THINK

YOU'LL BE PROUD OF WHAT

YOUR SON ACCOMPLISHED

NICK HEARD IT, AND HE

WHAT'S ON THE DIARY ?

OH, IT'S REALLY ABOUT KEN

WHO IS KEN ?

KEN AND CHAZ MADE SOME TAPE TOGETHER ?

A DVD, YEAH

SAYING WHAT ? DOING WHAT ?

KEN TALKED ABOUT AIDS

AND A FIRST KISS, I THINK

I'M SORRY

I'M HEARD SO MANY OF THE TAPES THAT

MISS LEE ?

EXCUSE ME

THAT MUST BE WHAT NICK SAW THAT MADE

HIM THINK CHAZ WAS

BUT THEY'RE SHOWING IT IN PUBLIC

THIS IS NOT THEIR PROPERTY

THIS IS PRIVATE

WHO ARE YOU CALLING ?

HI. MAY ? YEAH, IT'S ME

WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY

CAN YOU BE OUR ATTORNEY ?

I DOUBT NICK'S AT SCHOOL

BUT YOU NEVER KNOW

DOES CAMERON KNOW

THE WAY TO THE CEMETERY ?

NO. UM, AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS

BUT CHAZ'S PARENTS ARE

TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE FIREHOUSE

TELL MISS LEE I THINK I KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP

MAY HI, HOW ARE YOU ?

GOD, THANK YOU FOR COMING

OF COURSE

THAT'S WHAT FAMILY IS FOR, RIGHT ?

DON'T WORRY. THIS IS GONNA BE EASY

DAD YEAH, HI

I NEED YOU TO COME WITH ME

CAN'T RIGHT NOW

IT'S IMPORTANT

I NEED YOUR HELP

YOU, UH, IN A HURRY ?

DAD, I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING

I'M GAY

IS THAT IT ? WAIT, YOU KNEW ?

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ?

I'M SUPPOSED TO

TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE GAY ?

I THINK YOU'RE SUPPOSED

TO TELL ME THAT.

WELL, YOU COULD'VE

SAVED ME SO MUCH AGONY.

AGONY?

DISCOMFORT.

SO, UH, WHAT PROMPTED THIS CONFESSION ?

NICK SAW PICTURES OF ME AND CHAZ

TAKEN IN A PHOTO BOOTH.

NUDE?

DAD!

IS THAT IT ? HMM ? 'CAUSE IF SO,

I REALLY SHOULD GET BACK TO MY WORK

NO, NO, IT'S ABOUT THIS

COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER.

CHAZ'S PARENTS WANT TO CLOSE THE PLACE DOWN TODAY

JUST BECAUSE OF A SHOW

THAT THEY THINK IS GONNA OUT CHAZ

WE NEED YOUR LEGAL HELP.

OH, FRIENDS IN NEED.

WIND IN MY HAIR.

I'M FEELING YOUNG AGAIN.

MAYBE I'LL EVEN CRASH

YOUR POKER PARTY.

NO, THIS IS NOT

ABOUT BEING... HOMOPHOBIC.

YOU ARE SLANDERING

THE MEMORY OF OUR SON,

WHO IS NOT HERE TO DEFEND HIMSELF

I THINK YOU'VE MISUNDERSTOOD.

THERE IS NOTHING ON THAT VIDEO DIARY

ABOUT CHAZ BEING GAY.

BUT YOU THINK HE WAS,

DON'T YOU?

I KNOW HE WAS.

ACKNOWLEDGING THE TRUTH IS NOT SLANDER

YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT

BECAUSE YOU ARE GAY.

ALL GAY PEOPLE THINK

EVERYONE IS GAY.

COME ON.

I DON'T KNOW WHY

YOU'RE LAUGHING, MISS LEE.

YOU'VE BROKEN

SO MANY LAWS, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

EXPIRED PERMITS,

UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY,

RAMPANT ZONING VIOLATIONS,

CONTRIBUTING TO THE

DELINQUENCY OF A MINOR,

CREATING A PUBLIC NUISANCE,

COUNTLESS FAILURES

TO OBTAIN LICENSES OR PERMITS.

AND I'M GONNA GUESS

YOU NEVER GOT ANY

CONSENT FORMS SIGNED

BY ANY OF THE PARENTS, DID YOU?

EITHER WE SHUT THIS

PLACE DOWN COMPLETELY,

OR YOU HAND OVER

ANYTHING CREATED BY

OR PERTAINING TO CHAZ YOUNG

TO HIS PARENTS.

SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

MISS LEE, YOUR ATTORNEY, MR. IRA GOLDMAN IS HERE

DAD, YOU REMEMBER MR. AND MRS. YOUNG. RIGHT ?

I'M SORRY WE'RE NOT MEETING

UNDER HAPPIER CIRCUMSTANCES.

PLEASE, MR. GOLDMAN,

DON'T INTERFERE.

ALL WE'RE DOING

IS TRYING TO PROTECT

THE MEMORY OF OUR SON.

HOW DO YOU THINK

CHAZ WOULD FEEL IF HE KNEW

YOU WERE TRYING TO

SHUT DOWN THE FIREHOUSE

THE ONLY PLACE

IN THE WORLD WHERE

HE COULD BE HIMSELF ?

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ?

A LOT MORE THAN YOU THINK.

YOU ALL WANT THE WHOLE WORLD

TO THINK CHAZ WAS ABNORMAL.

YOU MEAN GAY?

LIKE MY SON?

YOUR FAMILY IS YOUR BUSINESS.

OUR FAMILY IS OURS.

SPEAKING OF FAMILY,

HAVE YOU LOCATED NICK ?

I CAN HELP YOU.

HEY, EDIE ! EDIE ! YOU WANT TO PLAY ANGEL CARDS ?

BOY, YOU PAY IN FOR THE STORY ?

EDIE, GO GET US SOME BURGERS!

EAT YOUR BURGER FIRST. WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT

IN THAT COMPUTER?

CHAZ SAID IF HE WAS

ABDUCTED BY ALIENS,

I COULD READ

EVERYTHING HE WROTE.

MAYBE I FORCED HIM TO LIE... BY THE WAY I AM.

NO. LYING TO OTHERS

IS OKAY.

BUT LYING TO YOURSELF

IS NOT OKAY.

I USED TO HAVE AN

ANGEL CARD FOR LIES,

AND IF I DIDN'T WANT

TO TELL SOMEBODY SOMETHING,

I WOULD JUST KIND OF

I WISH I HAD SOMEBODY

THAT LOVED ME LIKE THAT.

WILL YOU CRY FOR ME

WHEN I'M GONE, NICK?

MOTHER OF GOD "I LOVE NICK".

WHAT ?

"I LOVE NICK"!

THAT'S THE CODE!

YOU'RE...YOU'RE CRAZY.

NO !

"I...LOVE...NICK".

"I...LOVE...NICK".

THAT WAS THE STUPIDEST PASSWORD

I MEAN, THE ONLY PERSON

WHO REALLY LOVED HIM

CHAZ!

INBOX, 48. DRAFTS, 11. DEAR NICK...

I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO DO IT IN PERSON

SO I'M GONNA TRY IT THE FIREHOUSE WAY

I ENCOURAGE THE KIDS THAT I MENTOR THERE

TO TELL STORIES IN VIDEO DIARY

THE KIDS, LIKE YOU, LOOK UP TO ME

BUT...

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS

IS THAT I'M A FRAUD AND A COWARD.

BY DEFINITION,

I'M A DIFFERENT BREED FROM OUR PARENTS

AND SO ARE YOU, NICK.

YOU LIVE IN THIS BUBBLE,

BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS THE REAL YOU.

AND

BUT YOU DON'T PRETEND.

AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN JEALOUS OF THAT

THEY SAY THAT ASPIES CAN'T COMMUNICATE

OH, THEY ARE WRONG.

YOU...YOU LAUGH, YOU SULK,

YOU ROLL ON THE FLOOR.

YOU COMMUNICATE, IF NOT ONLY IN WORDS,

IF NOT ONLY IN WORDS,

IN MOODS.

SOON I'M GONNA TELL THE WORLD I'M GAY.

AND WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN,

I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO WATCH MY BACK

I LOVE YOU, BRO.

CHAZ NEEDS ME.

WOW ! I SHOULD TAKE YOU TO 'NAM, MAN!

THEY LOVE ORANGE THERE.

THE SUN, THE MONKS' ROBES,

ROW HOUSES PAINTED ORANGE.

OH, THOSE GUYS REALLY CELEBRATED LIFE

TOO BAD WE HAD TO KILL DO MANY OF 'EM

THANKS, JIM.

GRANDMA SAID A LONG TIME AGO THAT VIETNAMESE PEOPLE

USED TO EAT COCONUT FROGS.

OH, YEAH.

COCONUT AND FROGS.

THEY'D TAKE A COCONUT

AND MAKE A SMALL CUT

AND INSERT A TADPOLE.

THEN, A FEW WEEKS LATER,

THEY'D OPEN UP THE COCONUT

TO FIND A BLIND FROG

WITH WHITE SKIN.

IT HAD THE SMOOTHEST SKIN

AND THE SOFTEST

COCONUT-FLAVORED MEAT.

FOR MOST OF MY LIFE,

I'VE BEEN ONE OF THOSE TADPOLES

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE CHARGING US ?

BY THE HOUR?

WHAT HAPPENED TO

"THAT'S WHAT FAMILY'S FOR"?

I'M GIVING YOU THE NOT-FOR-FROFIT RATE !

NICK!

WE'RE SO SORRY FOR FIGHTING WITH YOU.

WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY,

WE WANT TO HEAR IT, OKAY?

I FOUND IT

CHAZ'S VIDEO DIARY.

THAT'S GREAT, NICK.

WE'LL WATCH IT TOGETHER AT HOME

THE LAWYERS CAN SETTLE THIS THEMSELVES

NICK, YOUR PARENTS AND THEIR ATTORNEY

ARE GONNA SUE MISS LEE

IF SHE DOESN'T CLOSE DOWN THE FIREHOUSE

YOU'RE ALL ACTING LIKE WE'RE HEARTLESS

WE'RE DOING THIS BECAUSE WE LOVE CHAZ

WE'RE STARTING A SCHOLARSHIP IN HIS NAME

HE WAS SO SMART.

EVERYONE LIKED HIM.

HE HAD HIS HEAD ON STRAIGHT.

WE'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM AS AN IDEAL SON

BUT I KNEW.

IRENE, NO, NO.

I KNEW.

I TRIED NOT TO TELL MYSELF.

I THOUGHT IF I DIDN'T SAY IT

IT WOULDN'T BE TRUE,

OR IT WOULD JUST BE A PHASE

YOU KNOW ?

THIS IS NOT ABOUT OUTING THE DEAD

THIS IS PURE SPECULATION

ON ALL OF YOUR PARTS.

CHAZ ISN'T HERE

TO SPEAK FOR HIMSELF.

BUT I AM.

I KNOW.

HEY, GUYS, I'M SORRY, I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT.

BUT, UM...PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO ARRIVE

SEND THEM HOME.

THERE'S NOT GONNA BE A SHOW.

MAY, YOU GO HOME.

HOW CAN YOU

YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE UP

SHE IS BILLING BY THE HOUR.

I'M GLAD CHAZ DIDN'T DIE A VIRGIN.

NICK, LOVE THE ORANGE. THAT'S A NICE SHIRT.

AJIT... I DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY THOSE

IT'S ALL GOOD, MAN.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET THIS SHOW GOING

GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. AS YOU KNOW, WE RECENTLY

LOST ONE OF OUR VERY OWN

CHAZ YOUNG.

AND I'M HAPPY TO INTRODUCE

NICK YOUNG,

WHO HAS SOMETHING

VERY SPECIAL TO SHARE.

GRANDMA SAID A LONG TIME AGO

THAT VIETNAMESE PEOPLE

USED TO EAT COCONUT FROGS.

OH, YEAH.

COCONUT AND FROGS

THEY'D TAKE A COCONUT

AND MAKE A SMALL CUT

AND INSERT A TADPOLE.

THEN, A FEW WEEKS LATER

THEY'D OPEN UP THE COCONUT

TO FIND A BLIND FROG

WITH WHITE SKIN

GO

GO ON

AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS

YOU OPEN THE COCONUT

AND YOU'LL SEE

A BLIND FROG WITH

WITH WHITE SKIN

AND IT'LL HAVE THE SMOOTHEST SKIN

AND THE SOFTEST

COCONUT-FLAVORED MEAT

FOR MOST OF MY LIFE...

I'VE...I'VE BEEN LIKE... ONE OF THOSE TADPOLES

GROWING UP IN THIS STRANGE WORLD

THAT NEVER SEEMED RIGHT

BUT TRYING MY BEST

TO FIT IN

TO GROW...

INTO A FROG.

AFTER SPENDING TIME AT THE FIREHOUSE

IT HIT ME.

OUR PARENTS WANTED US TO BE PERFECT

THEY HAD AN IMAGE

OF WHAT PERFECT SHOULD BE

BUT IN THE END

I DON'T DESERVE

TO LIVE IN A COCONUT

NO ONE DOES

CHAZ WAS GAY AND I HAVE ASPERGER'S

BUT I AGREE WITH CHAZ

I AM NOT A WHITE FROG

AND I WILL NOT BE A WHITE FROG

EVEN IF I'M WEIRD

OR DIFFERENT OR STRANGE

'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT ?

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT

WHOO !

NICK, DUDE THAT WAS SO AWESOME !

OH, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU BUDDY !

YOU KNOW WHAT CHAZ'S PASSWORD WAS ?

NO IDEA

"RANDY"

CHAZ WOULD'VE LOVED THAT

YOU HATE PUBLIC SPEAKING THIS WAS IMPORTANT

I COULD SEE THAT
