Billy Brings Layla Home, Explained：That's really great
Layla just met Billy's parents, but the small talk is really about Billy. His mother keeps offering every drink except the one he asks for, then insists he always ate chocolate. "I don't eat chocolate. I'm allergic to it, remember?" He isn't homesick. He's proving she never knew him.
あらすじ
Billy brings Layla home to Buffalo to meet his parents, Jan and Jimmy, pretending she is his wife. His mother barely looks at him until she notices how tired and swollen he is. She fetches drinks and doughnuts, and turns his simple request for water into an argument about whether ginger ale counts as pop.

What's really going on
The drink fight looks like a mother fussing, but every line lands somewhere else. Billy keeps asking for "a glass of water" and Jan answers with pop, ginger ale, and frozen juice, because she hears her own guilt, not her son. When he says, "I don't eat chocolate. I'm allergic to it, remember?" she insists he always ate chocolate, then says she has no idea what he's talking about. The swollen face he came home with becomes one more thing she won't recognize, even after he reminds her she once took him to the Emergency Room. Billy's flat "You don't remember your own son. That's really great" is the scene's real subject: a home where he is fed, offered everything, and still unseen.
Theme
MemoryJan can't recall her son's allergy or his trip to the Emergency Room, and rejects the memory when he offers it.
Family conflictBilly's quiet demand for water becomes a standoff with a mother who offers everything but recognition.

Just a glass of water. That's all I want.Billy states the simplest possible request because his mother keeps answering with drinks he never asked for.
I don't eat chocolate. I'm allergic to it, remember?He corrects a false memory with a fact. The line is almost a test: does his own mother know what he can't eat?
You don't remember your own son. That's really great...Said flatly and sarcastically, it means the opposite of praise. Mother and son both know she has forgotten him.
Ginger ale is pop, Ma.A deadpan correction: ginger ale has bubbles and counts as pop, however soothing it sounds. Billy won't let his mother move the goalposts.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Billy refuse the pop and keep asking for water?
He says the bubbles bother his stomach, but the refusal also forces his mother to notice one small, specific thing about him. Water is the only request she can't replace with something she prefers.
Does Jan really forget her son's allergy?
She insists he always ate chocolate and says she doesn't know what he's talking about. The scene leaves it open whether it is denial or genuine forgetting, but Billy treats it as proof she never paid attention.
Why does Billy say "That's really great" when he is clearly angry?
It's sarcasm. The flat delivery turns a compliment into an accusation, and it lets him show his disappointment without starting a full fight in front of Layla.
What is wrong with Billy's face?
It is swollen and itchy, and he reminds his mother that she once had to take him to the Emergency Room. He was beaten up earlier in the film, which is why he looks this way.
Is Layla actually Billy's wife?
No. Billy brings her home as a stand-in after they have just met, and his parents never question it. She plays along even as the family visit turns painful.
