A scene from “Pilot”

Ann Woodward: I don't know why you started this. I mean, we ... We were close. Just tell me why. No, l-let me go, Slim. No, he's ... He's... I mean, it's, it's torture. I hear it everywhere! I don't even know how you can be sitting here with him. Just tell me why, Truman.

Truman Capote: Well, you know, I liked you once. I liked you quite a bit. But then I heard behind my back you called me fag. So, I thought I'd be a fag and show you what a fag can do when he's angry. When he's very angry. And when he's been betrayed by someone he actually liked, even though I knew what you were.

C. Z. Guest: Truman, sit down. Ann, you sit down, too. Even if you are a killer as he says, he has a typewriter and you don't.

Ann Woodward: I never ... I never called you a fag, Truman. What I called you was a venomous little faggot. Now get your quotes right. Isn't that what you're supposed to be good at?
