Quotes 

• Aunty : What are you drinking?

  Sean : Bourbon and Coke.

  Aunty : Bourbon and Coke. The very drink Tallulah was crying out for on her deathbed.

• Aunty : They didn't have gay bars where I grew up. It's a lot more fun without 'em!

  Sean : [raising glass, toasting]  The closet!

  Aunty : [clinking glasses]  The closet!

• Sean : Silver, what do you think happens with people in porn?

  Silver : What do you mean?

  Sean : Just seems to mess people up.

  Silver : Working at K-Mart messes people up. Working in Hollywood messes people up.

  Sean : That's true.

  Silver : It's an adult industry. Gotta be an adult to deal with it.

• Silver : You know, when I was with Sondra, when everything was great at first.

  [pause] 

  Silver : but I kept on getting this feeling like she was so into herself. Even when we were having sex, I couldn't get any closer.

  Sean : Well, some people are born distant.

  Silver : It's the *distance* that gets you *hooked.* After a while, it takes its *toll.*

• Silver : I've been watching you with him.

  Sean : And?

  Silver : There's nothing to tell you that you don't already know. A: he's a porn star, B: he's straight.

  Sean : No he isn't.

  Silver : Sean, just because someone does gay sex doesn't mean they're gay.

  Sean : What does it mean then?

  Silver : Absolutely nothing. You just go through with it. Women understand that from the get-go.

  Sean : Well, he's different with me.

  Silver : What, because of this fluffing thing?

  Sean : Well, if he's so straight, then why does he need a boy to get him hard?

  Silver : Who knows? All that matters is that, in his mind, he's a straight boy. You ain't never gonna change that.

  Sean : And in my mind, I'll always be on my knees in front of him.

  Silver : [sarcastically]  Yeah, well, the two of you should be very happy together.

• Sean : It's like I got this knotted piece of string running down the middle of me, and I try to untie it, I try, but I can't.

  Silver : There's no such thing as a knot you can't untie.

• Sean : Silver, isn't it weird for you working here? I mean, you like girls, right?

  Silver : I'm into gay porn.

  Sean : You are?

  Silver : [affirmatively]  Mmm.

  Sean : How come?

  Silver : I like watching penises. Besides, lesbian porn sucks! With all those long red fingernails? *Please.*
