Adam Visits His Parents' Old House, Explained：over the moon
It looks like an ordinary homecoming — a son brought back to his childhood house, his parents fussing over him. But every proud line and old memory ('you were really beside yourself') carries the weight of years apart. Under the small talk, the scene is about how much these parents missed him.
あらすじ
Adam is brought back to his childhood home by his father, who found him hanging around the park. His mother greets him as if he's been away forever. They ask where he lives now and what he does, beam when they hear he's a writer, and trade memories — the car that hit him, the Bonfire Night he cried through — before he has to leave again.

What's really going on
To anyone watching, this is a man coming home. The truth is stranger: Adam is visiting the parents he lost, and they behave as if no time has passed. The scene works by small talk and old stories. His mother is sure she'll be 'over the moon' to see him; his father repeats 'I told you he'd be doing well for himself, didn't I' with the pride of a man who never got to watch his son grow up. They tease him about being 'a sensitive boy', recall the Ford Granada that knocked him into the air and the fireworks he screamed at. What makes it ache is the tenderness of people filling in years they never had.
Theme

このシーンについての質問
Why does Adam go back to his old house?
He returns to the childhood home where he grew up. The visit lets him speak with his parents again, so what looks like an ordinary homecoming is really a reunion with people he has lost.
What does 'over the moon' mean?
'Over the moon' means extremely happy. When Adam's father says his mother will be 'over the moon to see ya,' he means she will be delighted beyond words.
What do Adam's parents ask him about?
Ordinary things — where he lives now, whether he owns his own place, and what he does for a living. Their pride in his writing is the emotional center of the visit.

They are reaching for shared memories of Adam's childhood. The stories show how much the parents missed and how naturally they slip back into old roles.
