What are you doing?
-
Nothing! I wasn't! No!
-
Why were you watching that?
-
Ummmmm....A.J. sent me this.
-
Why would A.J. send that to you?
-
I don't know.
-
You don't like that sort of stuff do you?
-
No.
-
You're lying to me.
-
No.
-
Omg. Omg! You're one of those.
-
A brony? No a lot of guys are doing it. Everyone's doing it there's a lot of guys-
-
Wait. Just so I can be absolutely clear. For enjoyment you like to watch
cartoons made for little girls about colorful magical ponies?
-
Is that weird? Is that weird? Is it weird? No...
-
Please stop freaking out.
-
What do you expect? I'm sleeping with a pervert.
-
I'm not a pervert! How does watching a cartoon make me a pervert?
-
Because...because...because, well you're so supposed to be a man
and men just don't like watching little girls cartoons it's--it's just weird.
-
Reilly wait!
-
You're not going to tell anyone, are you?
-
See you already know it's wrong.
-
No, it's...it's private.
-
No sweetheart. It was private.
-
Awww...no...don't...

*somber music*
-
Hello?
-
Hi Mr. Priscell. This is Shane. I don't think I'm going to make it into work today.
-
Everything OK?
-
Omg everyone listen up! Shane watches little girls' cartoons. He's a brony!
-
*Shane's co-workers laughing*
-
I just don't feel good. Thanks, bye.
-
*email alert sound*
-
Hey, welcome to life outside the closet buddy.
-
So she told everyone. Reilly told everyone about the brony thing.
-
Yeah. It was awesome. Nobody gives a shit though. I mean-
I told you they wouldn't. I've never hidden it. Why would you?
-
Yeah but, you're you.
-
Woah woah! No you didn't. What is that supposed to mean?
-
You're just...unique and you're proud of it and I totally respect that.
But I'm a supervisor, I can't--I have to be taken seriously ok.
-
You don't understand. It's more than a title. I have responsibilities you couldn't fathom A.J.
-
Hiding it inside it's not going to help. It's kind of bromophobic.
-
Don't--stop saying that no-one--that will never catch on. Quit it.
-
Of course it's going to catch on. You're just being a bromo.
-
OK, now that's offensive. I...I think?
-
Look on the bright side, OK? You are finally free from the clutches of that judgemental bitch.
-
Hey, come on.
-
I mean it.
-
Seriously.
-
You changed you were because of her man.
-
It's not because of her. I'm not a kid anymore. Clearly.
-
But you did just get busted for your love of a cartoon and I know for a fact that you're
hiding comics and toys in
-
your closet and they're not out on display were they belong. So you're a grown ass man. You need to start acting like it. Bust those toys out man.
-
I just don't want to be weird! Sorry I yelled at you but--
-
Then stop being weird. It's easy.
-
I'm never coming to work again.
-
Well, I see the lights on. Shane?
-
Hello? Hello? Are you there?
-
Hey mom. Hey dad. Did...did Reilly talk to you guys?
-
Yes. Yes, Reilly called. Why didn't you tell us? I mean, we are your parents we could help.
-
I don't want to...I'm not talking about it.
-
Well, we are whether you like it or not. And we've contacted a psychologist who's agreed to help.
-
A psychologist?
-
Yes.
-
Oh, that's a bit much!
-
No, no, we contacted them. There's a team of them. They work together at a clinic.
They specialize...they specialize in pedophilia.
-
Jesus, what?! No! Why do you think I'm a pedophile?!
-
Well, Reilly said there was these cartoons...
-
And it seems like you're watching these cartoons to lure children.
-
No! How does that make any sense? Like I just put on the cartoons and then
just droves of children just amble into my apartment. That is stupid. Why?
-
Well, isn't that how it happens?
-
No! God.
-
You're not a pedophile?
-
No, I'm not a pedophile.
-
Oh, thank god.
-
Reilly and I are just going through a rough patch. I don't know.
-
A rough patch.
-
And she made it all up, right? You're not actually watching these children's cartoons either?
-
Would that be weird though if I was just watching cartoons?
-
Well pedophilia is a disease. And watching these cartoons is kind of bizarre behaviour, right?
-
Yes.
-
Yeah, I guess.
-
*dark music*
-
Ok, ok. You know you're not supposed to put a suit in the dryer, right?
-
I have to grow up. It's time to purge my life.
-
Ok, um, you haven't slept in a very long time, have you?
You have this weird insane derp thing going on.
-
Ok, A.J. it's not funny. Reilly left me. My parents think I'm a pedophile
and I have my job to worry about.
-
Oh yeah? You think Mr. Priscell gives a shit?
-
Yes, I have to be taken seriously in my role.
-
What are you doing?
-
Hello?
-
Hi, Mr. Priscell. It's A.J. from work. Quick question for you. Do you care if
Shane and I like to watch a show about magical ponies?
-
Is this a joke?
-
No sir, infact Shane seems to think this is very serious.
-
I don't care if you dress up like magic ponies and ride each other.
As long as it's on your own time.
-
Is Shane coming into work tomorrow?
-
Oh, he'll be there.
-
I can't believe you just did that.
-
Yeah, your parents are going to get over it too. Because it's not like your
smoking meth, cooking meth or running with the wrong crowd.
-
It's a show.
-
Who you calling now. Stop!
-
I don't want to watch a pony show--
-
Shhhhhhhhh
-
*cartoon theme music*
-
You're right.
-
People can laugh. The truth is these ponies know what's really important in life.
-
And it's not about trying to look cool in a tiny suit.
-
Ah, dude. I'm being an idiot.
-
I have waited so long for you to say that.
-
Shane?
-
If she can't practice love and tolerance. You cut her loose.
Ok, she is the reason you denied your bronyism.
-
I can hear you.
-
I'm not whispering.
-
Brohoof.
-
If you hurt him again and I have to sit through one more tear soaked phonecall--
-
I'm fine A.J....I didn't cry.
-
I swear to god. I swear to god.
-
You look all grown up.
-
So, I've been doing some thinking and I really don't want it to end this way.
So, if you're willing to ditch the whole pony thing I'll take you back.
-
No.
-
What do you mean "no"? Are you seriously choosing a cartoon over me?
-
No, I'm choosing me over you. Wait that sounds really cheesy.
Yes, I'm choosing the cartoon over you so.
-
And here I thought you were a real man.
-
I am a man. I'm a man who likes comic books, I like video games.
Oh, I love a cartoon about magical colorful ponies
-
who just grasp what's important in life more than
you ever will. I don't know why. But I do. And that's me.
-
If I walk out that door I am not coming back.
-
Ok, I'll see you at work tomorrow.
-
Fine. But everyone is going to know what a pony loving freak Shane Foster is.
-
You can tell every pony all about it. I don't care.
-
Neigh.
-
This is too small.
