• [first lines] 

  Brian Kinney : Hey, see that guy?

  [points to an old man] 

  Brian Kinney : He just turned thirty. That's what you're gonna look like in a couple of days, Mikey.

  Emmett Honeycutt : Oh, don't listen to him. You look like you're ten.

  Brian Kinney : Yeah, but this strange thing happens on your thirtieth. You look great the night before, but then you wake up the next morning and your ass is down to there, and your dick disappears.

  Ted : Well, I'm thirty three, what does that make me!

  Brian Kinney : Did you guys just hear something, like a voice from the dead?

• Vic Grassi : Listen, why are you so interested in me all of a sudden?

  Emmett Honeycutt : Oh, I was just wondering.

  Vic Grassi : Bullshit. You boys never talk to anyone over forty unless you have to.

  Emmett Honeycutt : I think I have it.

  Vic Grassi : 'It' doesn't mean what it used to, you know?

  Emmett Honeycutt : That's what they say. People still

  Vic Grassi : die. All the time. But they die from other things, too. You can't think about that.

  Emmett Honeycutt : I just can't believe this is happening to me. I mean I'm not promiscuous.

  Vic Grassi : Let me tell you about promiscuous. Promiscuous is anyone having more sex than you.

  Emmett Honeycutt : I thought I was been safe, careful

  Vic Grassi : Sex isn't careful. And if it is, you're doing it wrong. It's messy. And it's human. And it's mixed up with other things. It's a genie that won't stay in the bottle. Listen, Emmett, if you think you made a mistake, move on. And accept it like a man.

• Emmett Honeycutt : Why did I eat those god damn pancakes?

  [burps] 

  Emmett Honeycutt : They're repeating more than "I Love Lucy".

• Emmett Honeycutt : [to Ted]  I need to go into a phone booth and jerk off.

• Emmett Honeycutt : [to Ted]  I am so scared.

• [last lines] 

  Ted : He's cute. If you don't want him, I'll take him.

  Emmett Honeycutt : You can have him. I made a promise to God.

  Ted : A promise to God? What promise to God?

  Emmett Honeycutt : I prayed, and I told God that if I were negative, I would never have sex with another man. And I'm negative. So I can never touch a man again.

• Emmett : This is about what a certain someone's going to say, isn't it? Well, I say that you deserve to be loved. And don't let any man, queen, or Brian tell you otherwise.
