Mum : I suppose we don't get to decide when it ends.

Mum : [to Adam] You promise me that you are going to try with this Harry boy. I hope you make each other a bit happier.

Mum : [to Adam] You were always scared of something. Always running away. Do you remember?

Mum : They say it's a very lonely kind of life.
Adam : They don't say that anymore.
Mum : So you're not lonely?
Adam : If I am it's not because I'm gay. Not really.
Mum : Not really?
Mum : And what about this awful ghastly disease? I've seen the gravestones on the adverts. Should I be worried about it?
Adam : Mum! Jesus. Please. It's very different now. It's all very different.
Mum : Well, I guess I wouldn't know about that.
-
Mum : Your dad told me not to ask, and I'm guessing you're not married because I don't see a ring, but have you got a girlfriend?
Mum : I'm picturing her with brown hair, maybe curly, not too skinny. Smart obviously.
Adam : You mean like you?
Mum : That's nice you think I'm smart.
Mum : Well?
Adam : What?
Mum : Do you?
Adam : I don't have a girlfriend.
Mum : That's a shame.
Adam : I don't have a girlfriend because I'm not into girls, into women.
Mum : What do you mean?
Adam : I mean I'm gay.
Mum : As in homosexual?
Adam : Yes, as in - that. Yeah.
Mum : Really?
Adam : Uh huh.
Mum : Since when?
Adam : Since a long time ago.
Mum : How long ago?
Adam : Forever.
Mum : But, you don't look gay.
Adam : I don't know what that means.
Mum : It means what it means. You know what it means.

Dad : [to Adam] She's going to be over the moon to see you.
Dad : [as the front door opens] Guess who I found loitering in the park?
Mum : Is it him?
Dad : Oh, yeah. Definitely him. Look in his eyes.
Mum : [looks at Adam] Yes, it is you!
Adam : Hi.
Mum : Hi. Don't just stand there. Get yourself inside!
-
Dad : I want to ask something.
Mum : Oh god. Don't ask him.
Dad : I have to.
Dad : [to Adam] Was it quick?
Mum : Jesus! I told you not to.
Dad : How can you not want to know?
Mum : What if it was slow and horribly painful?
Dad : What difference does it make?
Mum : It makes a big difference!
Adam : It was quick.
Mum : It was?
Adam : Yes.
Mum : For both of us?
Adam : Yes.
Mum : You don't look like you're sure. Don't be fibbing. No secrets now.
Adam : It was quick.
Mum : [Exhales] Ok. That's a relief of sorts. It's been playing on my mind.
