In the scene where Withnail and Marwood chase after the famer on the tractor, he's says that Monty wasn't there for a few years, and last time he was there, he had his son with him, then Marwood says 'Yeah, that's him'
I never understood the scene, Monty's son? And why does Marwood agree with the farmer when he says this?

Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

The original response to this appears to have been deleted, but I'm pretty sure that the "son" was a young lover.

It's definitely the farmer's misunderstanding of what was an obvious reference to month's appetite for younger male lovers. The joke is actually furthered when the farmer again, misunderstanding the truer realities of what he saw and heard, suggests Monty is a Frenchman, and says he thinks his name is Adrian de Lecrox. We later get the long awaited, subtlety planted, punchline to the farmer's misassociation when Monty tells of his time when he use to walk around reciting Baudelaire.
shareGood catch! Love that!
