Emily : Are you... are... are you really gay?
Howard : Mmm-hmm.
Emily : Was there, oh, ANY OTHER TIME YOU MIGHT HAVE TOLD ME THIS? I'm wearing a wedding dress, which you picked out! I highlighted my hair because you said I needed shimmer, I loved you and I believed you and pretended not to notice the Streisand thing.

I thought you could make me feel like a beautiful woman... instead of the girl nobody wanted.
