- Sam: Mom, I'm very happy being a bartender.
- Sam's Mother: Well, at one time you were very happy being straight.

- Sam's Mother: and then Jennifer came along.
- 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.

- 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.
