• Nick : Your parents know you're gay?

  Peter : Sure. Told 'em when I was 16.

  Nick : 16?

  Peter : Yep, had a boyfriend in high school. They *freaked*. You know the usual bullshit: "How could you choose this kind of lifestyle Peter?" I said, "Hey, guys, it chose me." I mean, your dick knows what it likes. You reach puberty, you don't fucking decide what sex you like. You ask your dick. You say, "Hey, Dick, what do you like?" Okay. Alright. And you go for it.

  Nick : And you said that to your parents?

  Peter : In so many words.

  Nick : Bullshit. You're a ditzball twinkie.

• Nick : What do I get tonite?

  Michael : [pretending to read menu]  Hmmm... boiled nettles... hogweed... assorted thistles...

• Michael : [mixing green colored drink]  MMMmmm...

  Nick : This macro psychotic diet is bullshit. You know it, and I know it.

  Michael : Humor me.

  Nick : [takes a sip]  Yeah, straight from the cat.

• Nick : [recording on videotape]  Michael, I'll never understand how you fell for that... geek. I mean, the guy looks like a fucking Ken doll.
