Marnie Alton: Sam

Quotes 

• Sam : Mom, I'm very happy being a bartender.

  Sam's Mother : Well, at one time you were very happy being straight.

  [beat] 

  Sam's Mother : and then Jennifer came along.

• Jennifer : You parents didn't like the house?

  Sam : They didn't like you.

  Jennifer : What? They loved me!

  Sam : I think they think you turned me gay.

  Jennifer : Turned you gay? You were sleeping with girls, before I was even kissing boys.

  Sam : Yeah, but you're the first girl I ever introduced them to.

• Sam : [about Jennifer's questions if she should start a relationship with her boss]  People mix business and pleasure all the time. Take the girl AND the money... Of course if you hadn't turned me gay, I wouldn't be telling you to take the girl at all.

• Charles, Sam's Father : We do love Jennifer. We didn't mean anything by it.

  [beat] 

  Charles, Sam's Father : Come on, Sam. Don't be so sensitive.

  Sam : I'm not being sensitive, Dad. People don't just turn gay.

  Charles, Sam's Father : You weren't gay until college. In high school you had one boyfriend after the other.

  Sam : I also had girlfriends, that I never told you about.

  Charles, Sam's Father : Well, I've always been supportive of your lifestyle choices.

  Sam : It's not a lifestyle. And it's not a choice. Being single is a choice. Being gay isn't. It's who I am.

  [beat] 

  Sam : Maybe someday I'll settle down, but I'm never gonna be straight, and I'm fine with that. I love who I am. I am happy for me... I just wish that you were, too.

  Charles, Sam's Father : I am.

  Sam : No, I don't think you are.
