Signaling Miss Sheila

Sheila: “Phee, I know you’re right; we really should have a talk about this, but I don’t know if Nickey is ready for it.”
Ophelia: “Is it a question of maturity, or phase of the relationship, or what?” Sheila: “Well, it’s not the sort of thing that you can bring up out of the blue. I need to know if she’s receptive, or I’ll just scare her.”
Ophelia: “You’re probably right. You just need to wait for the right signal. So… what are you two thinking about viewing tonight?”
Sheila: “Nickey’s suggested that we watch ‘Tipping the Velvet’ or ‘But I’m a Cheerleader’.” Ophelia: “That’s about as green a light as you’re going to get, Shee.”

Tipping the Velvet is a BBC miniseries from 2002 with the rather daring depiction of two ladies in love. But I'm a Cheerleader (trailer) is a satirical 1999 comedy about parents sending their daughter to a facility for ex-gay treatment. Yes, I think this is about the clearest signals that Sheila is going to get from Nickey.
