After spending almost a week at his family’s, Mark stops by to pick Jamie up for a film. With his mom and sisters and nephew all busying themselves elsewhere, Mark finds Jamie alone in the computer room.
We join the two in mid-conversation…
Jamie: Why would they think we were gay?
Mark: Well, for one, you seem to be smoking nothing but Virginia Slims Lights now.
Jamie: You KNOW I got those from my sister.
Mark: You’re wearing your mother’s shirt.
Jamie: It’s hot, I change often.
Mark: The shirt says STONEWALL 40.
Jamie: C’mon.
Mark: You had to use your shirt to open that Snapple.
Jamie: (silence)
Mark: You’re sitting in front of a computer playing something called ‘FarmTown.’
Jamie: (stares)
Mark: When I walked in, you were listening to ‘Pretty in Pink.’
Jamie: (turns off comp, stands) Let’s go, we’re going to be late for 'The Ugly Truth.'
