INT - A LIVING ROOM - DAY
NEIL IS THERE TALKING TO HIS PARENTS.
MUM:
Come on son, whatever it is it can't be so bad that you can't tell your dad and me.
NEIL SOBS UNCONTROLABLY:
NEIL:
It-it-it's worse. I can hardly bring myself to tell you. I-I-I...I'm a...It's no good...I can't say it.
DAD:
Come on Neil son. Tell your old dad. We'll stand by you whatever it is.
NEIL DABS HIS EYES WITH A TISSUE:
NEIL:
Promise?
DAD:
Promise! Now come on son what is it? You'll feel better once it's out in the open.
NEIL:
I-I-I...I play keyboards in a Yes tribute band!
THERE'S AN UNEARTHLY SILENCE FOR A MOMENT FOLLOWED BY A DULL THUD AS MUM COLLAPSES ON THE FLOOR.
DAD:
Leave this house and never darken this door again. You're no son of mine!
