• 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 : [singing to Adam]  Maybe I didn't hold you / All those lonely, lonely times. And I guess I never told you / I am so happy that you're mine. If I made you feel second best / I'm so sorry I was blind.

  Mum : You were always on my mind / You were always on my mind.

• Mum : Christ, you know who you remind me of?

  Adam : Who?

  Mum : You look just like my dad.

  Adam : Really?

  Mum : How I remember him anyway from when I was a little girl. God, isn't that mad? It's like seeing you both exactly the same time.

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

• 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.

• Adam : Mum?

  Mum : Yes, sweetheart?

  Adam : Is this real?

  Mum : I don't know. Does it feel real?

  Adam : Yes.

  Mum : Then there you go.

• Mum : [as Adam removes his wet clothes]  God, look at you.

  Adam : What?

  Mum : You were just a boy, and now you're not.

  Adam : No.

  Mum : You look totally different, but it's still you. And I thought you'd be hairier like your dad.

  Adam : Okay. Sorry.

  Mum : I like a hairy chest myself.

• 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 : [Taking her husband's hand]  I love you, darling.

  Dad : You sure? Sometimes I was never so sure.

  Mum : Whatever problems we had, I'm glad I get to be with you at the end.

  Dad : Me too. You always did feel a little bit like my lifeboat.

• 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.

• Dad : Our boy's back home.

  Mum : Our son.
