Summary: Mark comes out to his mother


[Mark and his mother in restaurant]

1.
MOM: So what's your big news, dear?

MARK: Mom, I've been meaning to tell you something for months...


2.
MARK: I know this will be painful for you to hear, but you've got to
know. Last summer, after a lifetime of denial, I finally figured out I
was gay.

[Silence, the two of them facing each other in silhouette]


4.
MOM (picking up her wineglass): Don't be silly, dear. You're just
artistic.

MARK (grinning): Not really. A little amateur photography, that's it.
