A bum. What's he do?

I don't know.

She doesn't talk about him.

I don't even know his name.

Anyway she does say she's got

something important to tell us.

Well it sounds like this

is it. He popped the question.

Maybe.

It could be okay, Eddie.

Jenny's a good girl.

You know, you gotta

lose some weight.

Why? I don't

climb ladders anymore.

They'll bust you.

Yeah, well.

You coming over

for a drink later?

Ellen and I wouldn't

miss your anniversary party.

Little taste.

More onions.

Okay. I'll see ya later.

Alright.

No, I'm not okay.

I'm still... carsick.

Once it starts

it just doesn't stop.

You're not carsick, you're

just afraid to go in there.

So what if I am?

So you won't be able to do this

if you're going

in ashamed of who you are.

I'm not, I'm not

ashamed of who I am.

You always say that,

but I'm still kind of confused

as to why you've told

everybody except your family.

Because they live in a small

world and they like it in there

and I've just never

found the right time to...

drop the bomb.

You've been lying

for a long time.

That's what you're

really afraid of.

When you tell them it's gonna

change the way they see you.

You need to do this on your own.

- What?

- It's between you and your parents.

I'll just be in the way.

Just call me when it's done.

Jenny?

- Yeah. It's me.

- Yeah I know.

Ah, where's Kitty?

Oh, she... she had

to go cause there was, um...

an emergency

at the school. Yeah, I think.

- What kind of emergency?

- A flood.

A flood? What's she

gonna do about a flood?

I don't know.

Happy anniversary.

Oh, thank you.

- Alright, come on.

- Okay.

Jenny's here everybody.

- Jenny's here.

- Oh! Finally Jenny's here.

- Ta-da!

- Jenny.

Where's Kitty?

Ah, she had to take care

of a flood at the school.

What does Kitty

know about floods?

Can I talk to you upstairs?

There's something

I need to tell you.

Please say something, Jenny.

We thought you were going to

tell us you're getting married.

But it doesn't

look like that now.

What happened, honey,

did you break up?

No.

Then what is it?

What do you want to tell me?

This isn't gonna

be easy for you.

- Are you sick?

- No.

Then what is it, honey?

What could possibly

be so hard for me?

I'm gay.

What?

I'm gay, Mom.

You're...

What?

I'm a lesbian.

I'm gay.

But...

But what about the guy?

There is no guy.

There's never been a guy.

All these years... you

made them up and I...

I just went along with it.

But...

But I don't... I don't...

I don't understand.

Um.

How long have you known this?

- Always.

- And I missed it?

How did... how could I

miss something like this?

You wanted to. You didn't

want to know and I knew that.
