The Lawyer:
How old are you?
The Lesbian:
What, me? 35. But I have a kid.
The Lawyer:
Just one child.
The Lesbian:
Yeah, a daughter.
The Lawyer:
You married.
The Lesbian:
Yes.
The Lawyer:
What does your husband do?
The Lesbian:
I don't?
The Lawyer:
You don't what?
The Lesbian:
Why the sudden interest in me?
The Lawyer:
We're all just being honest. I just thought I'd ask you a question.
The Lesbian:
Well, I'm not on trial, so how about you tell us about your life?
The Lawyer:
Easy. 41. I've got two boys, an 18 month old baby daughter. Been married to the same amazing woman for 12 years. Erm.. That's it. Your turn.

The Lawyer:
still waiting.
The Lesbian:
I raised my four younger siblings during my father's heroin addiction and my mother's clinical depression, then attended Vassar under a work/study scholarship before serving in the Peace Corps for 3 years in Nepal and then returned to the US where I've worked for a non-profit ever since.
The Lawyer:
Okay, but you still haven't answered my question. What does your husband do.
The Lesbian:
I have a wife.
The Lawyer:
Oh. So you're a lesbian.
The Lesbian:
Yeah. So what? Doesn't make any difference.
The Lawyer:
That's not necessarily true.
The One-Armed Man:
Ok. So she's gay. Big deal. What's the matter?
The Lawyer:
You think it's okay for a child to be raised with two gay mom's?
The Asian Kid:
It's not fucking 1950, dude.
The Translator:
Yeah, seriously, mind your own business.
The Lawyer:
What, you think it's okay to raise a baby girl in that environment. Two gay mom's having sex all over the place? It's not as bad as two men, but it's still wrong. Maybe it's a good thing that you're here. You're going to give that little girl a chance to have a normal life.
The Soldier:
Whoa, come on man, where are you going with this?
The Lawyer:
I'm not homophobic or anything...
The Translator:
Yeah, right.
The Lawyer:
Do you think that this is someone worth dying for? I know a lot of you are religious. This country was based on family values. This is a woman who has sinned. Doesn't that mean something?
The One-Armed Man:
We've all sinned.
The Lawyer:
Yes, but some more than others. I mean, maybe that's the whole point of this thing. Maybe if we figure out who the sinner is amongst us then maybe this whole thing will end. I mean we have no idea what these aliens want. I mean, maybe that's the answer.
The Lesbian:
So aliens want me to die because I'm gay?
The Lawyer:
Look, nothing personal. I'm just trying to get this to stop.
The Lesbian:
You think I'm the only one?
[Everyone is silent]
The Lesbian:
Cowards.

Bruce:
My son's gay. And there's not a damn thing wrong with him.
