MOMMA Oh, Trent -- do you think we’ll have time tomorrow to see Grant’s Tomb? ‘Member how Daddy used to ask us who’s buried there...
TRENT Momma, wait. I just need to --
MOMMA Oh, and the Brooklyn Bridge, and Central Park...
TRENT YOU CUT ME OFF, YOU CLOSE YOUR EARS YOU TURN ASIDE JUST LIKE YOU’VE DONE FOR YEARS YOU’RE HAPPY WITH THE STATUS QUO WHY ARE YOU CHOOSING NOT TO KNOW?
Momma, you know I’ve lived with Steven, My roommate, for 3 years now...
MOMMA It says here that the Cloisters is a division of the Metropolitan.
TRENT So, about Steven --
MOMMA Trent, dear. I am reading my guidebook.
TRENT IT’S TAKEN TIME
CHURCHGOERS WE BELIEVE...

TRENT I THINK THE TRUTH IS WHAT WE BOTH DESERVE

CHURCHGOERS THE WORD IS TRUE.
TRENT Momma, listen to me. There’s something I have to tell you.
MOMMA Oh, now hush, honey.
TRENT Momma, --
MOMMA Shhh!
TRENT You already know. You know –-
MOMMA Trent-Michael, please don’t!
All I’ve got is the Word of God. It’s the one thing I can hold onto while the world keeps changing around me. I wish your father were here.
TRENT OH IT SAYS IN YOUR BIBLE MY LIFE IS A SIN AND A FIGHT AGAINST GOD IS A FIGHT I CAN’T WIN ONCE I SAY IT OUT LOUD, THEN IT CAN’T BE UNDONE YOU ALREADY LOST DADDY, YOU CAN’T LOSE YOUR SON YOU NEED TO FACE
CHURCHGOERS WE BELIEVE...

TRENT BUT JUST FOR NOW I’LL LET YOU HAVE YOUR WAY
CHURCHGOERS WE BELIEVE...
TRENT I KNOW YOU LOVE ME, BUT EVEN SO -- IT’S CLEAR YOU’D HAVE TO LET ME GO
TRENT CHURCHGOERS THAT’S WHY YOU’RE CHOOSING NOT TO KNOW THE WORD IS TRUE THAT’S WHY YOU’RE CHOOSING NOT TO KNOW THE WORD IS TRUE YOU’RE CHOOSING NOT TO KNOW THE WORD IS TRUE
MOMMA You said you needed a winter coat. How ‘bout we go to Macy’s and find a nice warm one?
TRENT Sure, Momma. That’d be nice.
