This is a Safe Space | SPIES ARE FOREVER Act 2 Part 2

CURT'S MOM'S SAFE HOUSE, GUADELOUPE - One Day Later - After the disaster in Geneva, Curt and Tatiana take a much needed respite. Aided by motherly love and Tatiana's vulnerability, Curt is finally able to come to terms with the ghosts of his past.
SPIES ARE FOREVER is a new musical that follows the suave, yet arrogant, Agent Curt Mega after a tragedy forces him to reconsider the unstable world of espionage. But before long, Mega finds himself thrust into the shadows of Cold War politics, entangled with a Russian femme fatale, and uncovering a super villain’s plot to rebuild the Nazi empire. With a license to kill and the voice of an angel, Mega must stay alive, complete the mission, and prove to his enemies that the deadliest weapon of all is a little song and dance.

Emma Blackburn yes, Curt is gay in this, but it couldn't be said back then. Cold War-era, it was taboo.

[@katrinahughes5855]

No, he likes girls. and boys!

[@bookishbrook2038]

@@katrinahughes5855 What are you basing this on? Agent Curt only has one love interest and he is male so idk how you would come to the conclusion that he likes girls as well? This scene especially would suggest that ALL girls aren't really his "type". Did I miss something? I'm just curious?

[@homeiswonderland]

@@bookishbrook2038 There's a few songs and lines that mention "getting the girl," perhaps hinting at him being bi. But I think Curt saying she's not his type ultimately means he's gay as you said. The mentions of "getting the girl" have more to do with spy stereotypes and seducing women for information rather than real romantic relationships with them.

I spat out my tea when Lauren started singing :'D

[@maecimusic4840]

"let's start t the very beginning." "A very good place to start-" "Don't interrupt." such an underrated moment

[@weesalikesmilktea4829]

Not sure why but Tat wiping her face after they kissed was the funniest thing to me

[@miahanson9267]

lauren steals every scene she's in

[@redacted5078]

Even the credits

[@galactic7458]

Mom: *I’VE BEEN WAITING SO DAMN LONG FOR THIS!!* Curt and Tatiana: *IT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO GO LIKE THIS!*

[@asinglecoughdrop3462]

and THIS is what a nicely established perfectly platonic relationship should be like. No forcing any romantic feelings on one cause it's a male and female. Just friends. Curt seems like the best gay friend and Tatiana is kinda the mom friend

[@burhanuddinmaskawala187]

6:40 I was expecting Mama Mega to come in saying "dID sOmEonE SAy dRAco maLFoY?!?!"

[@404kasha]

Who else thinks that Lauren is totally doing her Bugette voice?

[@jillianunrau2387]

I'm honestly so glad they're just friends, so it's not so cliche

[@raxid5950]

"doing this" is just gay panic

[@catbanana110]

i can't stop rewatching 10:27 like LOOK AT HOW FLAWLESS THAT TRANSITION FROM BELT TO HEADVOICE TO BELT IS MMMM YES

[@jadynbeech338]

My favorite thing is the end of the song when Curt relaxes cause Tatiana is quote unquote "cool" with him but still kinda tense because all that other stuff just happened But he has a friend and that's a big deal to him Him just a baby A baby spy boy who misses his "partner" that he accidentally killed with a banana peel

[@elisabethn3913]

Wait, that song was scarily accurate. The way both of them kept singing “I guess we’re doing this” and started flirting and kissing, not because they genuinely wanted to, but because they felt like they were supposed to. And the reference to heteronormativity with the “I’m a girl” “I’m a guy” and therefore they felt that they ought to like each other. And the use of clichée movie-like pick-up lines helped in showing that they didn’t want this, but they were just doing what they thought they had to/what they had seen in society and the media. Tatiana was raised to follow orders mindlessly, so it’s probably hard for her to let go of that mindset and stop doing stuff that she doesn’t want to do just because she thinks that other people want her to do it. And Curt seems to be very closeted (btw have not watched to the end of the musical yet, so I’m not sure if they’re going to expand on the obvious gayness), and he clearly has a lot of internalised homophobia, probably partly from his mother so desperately wanting him to find a girl. Maybe that’s why he rarely visits her, cause she’s always expressing how much she wants him to live that straight life, and it’s hard for him to always have to listen to that. But yeah, this song is way too uncomfortably realistic, especially as a queer person😅 Kids, don’t hook up with someone whom you don’t want to hook up with. Just because you think they want it, doesn’t mean that you somehow owe it to them. This goes for everyone, no matter sexual orientation.

[@justarose]

Hey what do you think now

[@acatindisguise]

femme fatale and gay spy bromance is not something i knew i needed so much until i got it XD

[@prestonarce2007]

Mega really is just the perfect last name for a spy or any action hero isn’t it? Curt got lucky with that.

[@jessieleo7224]

I watched the beginning of this scene like "alright. here it is. the moment in every story where all my perfectly constructed queer headcanons die horribly and all the details my gay little brain obsessed over become invalid. Man, I can't believe I thought this one might be different." Needless to say, I started freaking out as the song went on and then happy-cried at the end.

[@raegante7353]

Video: plays Me: *gets dating ad* Also me: WFT KZbin WHAT YOU TRYING TO SAY BRO?

[@wrenclark4907]

Tatiana: Let’s start at the very beginning Me: A very good place t- Curt: A very good place to start Me: :0

[@he.said.teenjiejer]

I love that they both know how forced this romance is.

[@taylormonk4222]

That moment when there was foreshadowing all over this musical that Curt was actually in love with Owen....

[@ronjasignaler]

That sound of music reference tho

[@VyTran-lo5uy]

Notice how Lauren plays two different mother figures for Curt.

[@nerco8194]

I was just waiting for one of them yell *”I’M GAY”* the whole time

[@mary-pi8gc]

There are so many shows I've watched where it's obvious one of the main characters isn't straight but they just don't talk about it and it makes me so mad and I love that they just casually say he gay I love thissss

[@Enchantedfairy818]

Mama Mega is iconic in this scene and Curt is ESPECIALLY hot in this outfit

[@darcyhess3666]

“She reminds me of my mom.” You mean your mom also complains about you never taking any guys home 👀

[@alixmcknight]

Oh, I really like the way this song is written, especially with the back and forth inner monologue. It's a clever way of filling in all the holes of their relationship in a heartwarming manner. Also....it's now stuck in my head. To the next scene! :)
