Oh there it is.

What?

- Now it's coming out.

- What's coming out?

I'm a happy guy in a happy relationship!

What else can I ask for?

What?

It's Valentine's Day, let's not do this.

Exactly!

It's Valentine's Day,

there's no reason to be angry

or frustrated or sad or unhappy.

Is there a reason?

Is there something you want to tell me?

Huh? Is there something you want to tell me?

Is there something you're not telling me?

Huh? For me to be frustrated?

There's nothing to say, right?

I want to tell you Happy Valentine's Day

Oh well Happy Valentine's Day to you too!

Hmm.

No, really.

How about you? What is your problem?

Huh?

What is your problem?

Why don't we skip this and jump

to what you really want to say.

What I want to say? Now you

want to hear what I want to say?

My mom was in the room,

I didn't come out

I never said that.

- No I never told you that Derek

- You really really wanted

- I never said that Derek

- Yeah you do

I never demand you to

come out to your mother

right in front of her face...

I never said that

Then why are you angry?

I am not angry!

I am not angry!

I kind of think you are.

[laughs]

You kind of think I am.

Is there a reason for me

to be angry? Tell me!

Is there a reason for me to be angry?

No, there isn't.

Because I'm eventually

going to in my own time.

Okay your own time.

Okay then let's follow that!

One year down, how

many more years to go, huh?

How many more years to go?

I'm not ready.

[laughs]

I'm not ready!

Oh my!

Oh my Derek!

It's always about you isn't it?

It's always about your time.

It's always about your happiness.

- It's always about you.

- That's not fair.

The world revolves around you, right?

Am I correct?

What about my happiness?

What about my perspective?

What about what I'm feeling?

Did it ever cross your mind?

Did you ever considered it?

Don't touch me, okay?

For once did it ever

cross your mind, how I feel?

Huh? It's been one year Derek!

It's been one year!

Has anything happened? Nothing happened!

Because we are following your pace.

Your time.

That's what it's about right?

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with just

a little bit more time?

Derek every time,

we have to be in this room.

We can only be like this here.

Once we leave that door

we are nothing.

Everything we have just stays in this room!

That doesn't I like you

or love you any less.

But still! What do you want

me to think, it's been a year!

And then your mom comes in,

and she's right here in front of us

and you don't introduce me or anything!

This is the first time that happened

that a person comes in this room

the only place where we can be

together and be happy and be ourselves.

But not a thing changes.

So what do you want me to think? Huh?

What do you want me to think?

Don't touch me!

What do you want me to feel, huh?

Do you want me to think that you love me?

Even though we've been together

for a year and that...

You've never told anyone,

not even your best friend?

Not even your best friend?

You are my best friend.

Oh now I'm your best friend!

You're not only my best friend.

But your the first person in my life

is what I was trying to say.

Okay the, why don't you show

that to the other people huh?

Why can't you do that if front of other

people if I really am your best friend?

What's wrong with that?

I don't see anything wrong with that.

This isn't fair.

What isn't fair, Derek?

This isn't fair! What you're

doing to me isn't fair!

What I'm feeling right now isn't fair!

And how okay you are with this

and how not okay I am with this

- Calm down.

- Calm down?!

You're telling me to calm down?

Oh my - what's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

Oh my God!

One year!

One year!

And you haven't told anyone!

And your mom was just hear a while

ago, you didn't do anything!

What am I supposed to feel, huh?

Do you still want me

to feel happy about this?

Really?

- Calm down.

- Are you that cold-hearted?

No don't tell me to calm down!

Don't you ever tell me to calm down!

Huh?

When are you going to be ready?

Cause I'm ready! I'm ready!

I've always been ready!

You're the one who's not ready!

And that's so unfair!

When are you going to be ready?

When I'm not ready anymore?

When I'm done? When I'm tired? Huh?

Don't touch me!

Are you ashamed of me?

Of course- of course not!

Then show it!

If you really are not ashamed of me

then let our relationship

be freed from that door

Huh?

When would that be Derek?

That's not fair.

You know what's fair?

Me giving UP-

I'm tired.

- Don't say that.

- I'm tired.

- Don't say that.

- Just...

Just go have dinner with your mom, okay?

- I'm tired.

- Don't leave.

Don't leave.

Don't touch me, don't come after me!

Okay? Don't talk to me.

Just stay here, wait for your mom,

and go out with her okay?

I'm tired, Derek.

Hold on. Just, hold on.

Let's go to the room. Let's just

talk about this like we normally do.

In the room. Okay?

Derek if you want to say something

why don't you just say it here.

Like we normally do.

In the room.

I don't wanna... Why would

I wanna do this in front of-

This is what I'm saying

You're just proving me that you can't.

You are embarrassed of me,

is that it?

It's not that I'm embarrassed

What do you mean you're not?

Why can't you do it right here?

Eventually, you know.

I've told you before.

It's been a year

It's so tiring

It's been a year, Derek

and you haven't even told

your best friend about us,

or even your friends

This is why -

you haven't told anyone even

to a single person from your group

how come?

Do you even know how painful that is?

everyday

Okay so you wanna go and explode

in the library where tons of other people

Is that so?

Yeah because you are ashamed of me

Until somebody escorts us -

Let's just go to the room

You can't even mention it to your friends.

You can't say it to your family

Let's just finish this in the room, please!

And now you're the one who's furious.

After all the things you did

I've been holding back

for so long,

but still you're the one who

has the right to be furious

You didn't tell your family,

you didn't tell your mother

She was just right there,

and you lied in front of me.

You lied to her just like that.

- That's my mom

- Exactly she's your mother

Your mother, your friends,

you said nothing to anyone

It's been a year and I'm tired.

I am going to do it. I am going to-

Listen to me!

When would that be?

I don't know yet

Exactly

I have no idea when would

that I don't know be

I'm tired

I'm just asking for more time.

That's all I'm asking for, more time.

If you want to fix something, fix it here.

We're making enough of an

embarrassment of ourselves.

Look around.

Let's go to

If you want to fix it, fix it now.

Are you going to do it?

F***!

Mark!

[stomps]

[quiet chatter]

' Get up!

' Hey! What? No!

What are we going

to talk about?
