Quote from David in Meet the Parents
Marcy: So what do we do now? Not go to the party? I don't want to make him uncomfortable. David: No, no, no, we are all going to the party. Patrick is planning on telling you tonight. So I think the best birthday gift we could give him at this point is to just keep him in the closet until then. I know that came out wrong, but we all understand what I'm saying, right?
