Don’t
Ask
Jinny: Where the hell is the car?
Magda: They must have assigned it out to somebody else.
Jinny: Those stupid sons of bitches.
Magda: Jinny, what the hell is with you today?
Jinny: *sigh* I went over to my dad’s house last night...and John was beatin’ the crap out
of Casey.
Magda: Are you serious? Why?
Jinny: Casey’s gay.
Magda: Wow. You never told me.
Jinny: I didn’t know. I mean, I guess I thought there were, you know, times...I dunno.
Anyway, I had to take him to the hospital, 18 stitches. What was he trying to do..beat it
out of him, like he could beat him into being straight?! You know what? I’m sorry, I’m
sorry I put this all on you.
Magda: Come on Jin, don’t apologize. I’m glad you told me.
John Sr.: After all these years, huh?
Jinny: He couldn’t tell you John, he knew how you’d react.
John Jr.: Damn liar. I told you-
Jinny: Hey!
John Jr: I don’t wanna see him anymore.
Jinny: We’re a family, not much of a family-
John Jr: Jinny-
Jinny: No John, this is the hand we’ve been delt. Casey, come in here and sit down.
Casey: I never lied to you John. I just didn’t tell the truth. ‘Cause I knew how you’d
react.
John Jr: Yeah, no crap.
Casey: Yeah, I know that when you don’t like something, you hit.
John Jr: Keep you mouth shut!
Jinny: Guys, please!
John Jr: You’re so proud of the fact that you’re queer?
John Sr: John-
John Jr: Huh? Wanna go march in the parade? Go on, march in the parade!
Jinny: You know what? Just stop! Stop it!!
John Jr: What?!
Jinny: *throws case folder at John Jr* I just finished a case where two gay guys are dead
because they were afraid people would find out the truth about them. You want that to
happen to Casey, huh? He’s your brother!
John Jr: Not anymore.
Jinny: *talking to John Sr* Are you going to say anything?
Casey: No, he’s not going to say anything Jinny. Oh, come on, when’s the last time we
actually had a conversation in this house?
John Jr: You shutup alright?
Casey: We can’t even talk about Mom after all these-
John Sr: Hey! You leave her out of this!
John Jr: Shut your mouth!
Jinny: You know what, none of us in this room is perfect.
John Sr: Jinny, I wouldn’t-
Jinny: No Dad. You still smoke half a pack a day and drink yourself to sleep at
night.
John Jr: Like you don’t.
Jinny: You’ve been divorced three times and I don’t think you current marriage is a bed
of roses either, why is that John?
John Jr: You are such a bitch!
Jinny: Aww, you still the class bully, is that it?
John Jr: Yeah, and you’re still the town slut! You know how many guys I had to beat up
because they were talking about how easy my sister was?
Jinny: At least Casey knows who he is! At least he’s man enough to say this is who I am,
accept me!
Jinny: It’s alright. It’s ok, it’s all gonna work out, you need to give them a little time,
that’s all
