Nathan and Ben - Their Story I Wish You All the Best
Transcript
00:01Nathan. Perfect. Just the man I wanted to see.
00:04Hey, Mr. Wallace.
00:08I was looking for you at lunch today. Where were you?
00:11Hey, this is my wife's brother, Ben.
00:14He's actually the newest addition to the Northway Crusaders.
00:17Hey, welcome, welcome, welcome.
00:19That open area behind Building 3.
00:22Happy first day.
00:25Would you mind taking him on a tour of the campus? I gotta get to class.
00:29Yeah, yeah, yeah. No problem.
00:32Welcome.
00:36Let me take your stuff.
00:37You're good at math, right?
00:39Cause somehow I'm like, bombing trick.
00:42I really don't know anything about you.
00:45Like, what do you want to be when you grow up?
00:47I don't know. Alive.
00:54Maybe you can summarize Homer for me and I can do it with Hagrid and Theo.
00:58That'd be dope, yes.
01:04How long have you been in love with Batman?
01:06My kryptonite. Forever.
01:09Hey, that's some.
01:11These are dope.
01:12It's not bad.
01:14I just moved a few paragraphs around.
01:16Fine, okay? It's my family tree.
01:20Or what was my family tree.
01:22Yeah, getting through this play was like literary warfare.
01:25Next time, read it out loud.
01:27It's a long story.
01:28You know, Shakespeare was all just like cross-dressing and drag queens.
01:31So, I just channel my inner Sasha Velour.
01:35Tell me about your family.
01:38Tell me about the tree.
01:41My parents kicked me out of the house because I'm not, not, not straight.
01:46What are you doing?
01:48Releasing your crown chakra.
01:51Not straight.
01:54Sorry, I don't know why I laughed.
01:56My mom is a Reiki practitioner.
01:58It's probably bullshit, but like, you need to chill.
02:00That's trash.
02:02Vomush suck.
02:03You have your book.
02:04Hey, um, I lied to you.
02:08I said that I was not straight.
02:10What I meant to say was like, I'm not cis.
02:13I just want to confirm that is the bat signal on your cheek, right?
02:17Now that you say it, I am feeling a vibe.
02:20What the fuck does that mean?
02:22Promise you won't make fun of me, but...
02:24Are you being vuln?
02:25You have a soft aura and...
02:27You're really, like, graceful and ethereal, almost.
02:32Wait, can I film this from my records?
02:33It's such a rare sight to behold.
02:35I've never been to a party before.
02:36So is it giving they them?
02:39Yeah, it's giving they them.
02:40I was a loser at my old school and I grew up in a dry town.
02:43You're cute when you blush.
02:46Shit, now I'm blushing.
02:49Wow!
02:51Babe, I'm honored!
02:53Hey!
02:54On this fine eve, I thought I'd try my famous lunchable pizza recipe.
02:59Are we not supposed to be here?
02:59Oh, let's not get caught up in the details.
03:01Don't worry about it, don't worry about it.
03:03Soph, why don't you run in and grab us a table?
03:05I don't think we two have time to blow each other.
03:07The night, like a bald sapling, is still young, with much growth on the horizon.
03:12Hey, look at me.
03:14You know, I thought being drunk would make you funnier, but...
03:18I don't think it does.
03:19No matter what happens tonight, Benjamin DeBacker, I...
03:23I wish you all the best.
03:26Because you deserve it.
03:27Oh, what the fuck?
03:33Oh my god, you've lost it.
03:45I come here when I feel nuts, and clearly you're spiraling.
03:50So...
03:55My mom called me.
03:58What'd she say?
03:59I told them I was filing for emancipation.
04:02You getting emancipated?
04:04Yeah, parents don't know what to do, and their kids don't turn out just like them.
04:09I'm fucking scared they could come back at any moment and take me away.
04:13My mom's sister won't even look me in the eyes just cause I'm bi.
04:18Really?
04:19I'm not gonna let that up.
04:22Benjamin, sweetie, it's your mom calling.
04:25Wishing you a happy birthday.
04:29Wait...
04:32Wait, it's your birthday?
04:35I feel like we're what Simon could never be there.
04:42Happy fucking birthday, Benderbacker!
04:45I actually watched it.
04:47Tell me your deepest, darkest secret.
04:57Thanks.
04:59I'm...
05:00a virgin.
05:01Duh.
05:03Me too.
05:05So...
05:06what do you wanna do?
05:08Really?
05:09For realsies.
05:13Sleep on it.
05:15Your room is spinning.
05:22Aww.
05:23Baby's first drunk.
05:26Mmm.
05:32Let's go to bed.
05:35Hey, have I told you yet?
05:37How much I love you?
05:43Now it's like...
05:44Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love you!
05:48Mm-hmm.
05:50Oh.
05:52Cause I do.
05:57Is this how it's gonna be, though?
05:59What?
06:00Just...
06:01Like...
06:01One long, never-ending life of coming out.
06:06Okay, you're scaring me.
06:10But also, you don't really owe all of that to everybody.
06:14Babe, I am struck...
06:17silent.
06:18Speechless.
06:19Well, fuck what people think.
06:21You're you.
06:22I didn't know you could paint like this.
06:25Yeah.
06:26Perfect.
06:28Beautiful.
06:29This piece right here landed me a spot in Cooper Union in the hall.
06:33Oh my god, that's amazing.
06:35Visible, are you?
