Emmett quotes from Queer as Folk (US)

Emmett

I am just a silly faggot.

Melanie

No. You stood beside your partner no matter what anyone said. And that makes you a very loyal, very brave faggot.

Lindsay

Emmett, sweetie, you can tell me it's none of my business and to butt out, but if Ted wants to destroy himself that's his choice. Don't let him destroy you, too.

Emmett

Lindsay, sweetie, it's none of your business. So butt out.

Emmett

Tough... that's what my daddy used to say. He even bought me boxing gloves to teach me how to be a man.

Melanie

I love boxing.

Emmett

Of course you do. I glued rhinestones on them.

Melanie

Of course you did.

Emmett

You're an addict.

Ted

I'm not an addict!

Emmett

I'm sorry, sweetie, but it's true. That's what you are. And if that's what you wanna be, fine I can't stop you, but I sure as hell am not gonna join you.

Emmett

You know, we've never done this before.

Brian

It's a shame. We'd make such a lovely couple. We're both... tall.

Brian

You also need to move on.

Emmett

I have.

Brian

And forget about him. He's dead.

Emmett

He's not dead.

Brian

Well, he will be, soon enough. But that's his problem... keep dancing.

Emmett

I don't know how you do it.

Brian

It's easy. Just put one foot in front of the other.

Emmett

I mean be so heartless.

Brian

Well, it takes a little practice but eventually you get the knack.

Emmett

Well, I could never be like that.

Brian

Sure you could... [Emmett starts walking away] Then go back to him, show him how much you care... and let him kill you, too.

Lindsay

You know what this reminds me of? Homecoming queen.

Brian

There was a lot riding on that election as well.

Lindsay

Waiting all night for the votes to be counted. Fortunately, I won.

Emmett

You too?

Emmett

I'd rather stay here, get shit-faced.

Brian

You've passed shit-faced about 10 miles back.

Vic

We met at a fairy gathering.

Emmett

The Tony Awards?

Emmett

You're not gonna get better sitting on the sofa. So why don't you take your sardonic wit, and your superior 'I'm not like all those other losers' attitude and get your ass back there.

Ted

So they can fix me? It's too late. I'm beyond repair. I have nothing. No future, no friends, no job, no lover. What's the point? Might as well be dead.

Emmett

Then do it. Go on. Kill yourself. You'd be doing us all a favor. Only don't be a man about it. Be a Queen.

Debbie

Are you ready to find your inner fairy?

Emmett

When I do I just hope he looks more like Tinkerbell than Captain Hook.

Emmett

So I've been going to the gym religiously.

Brian

Is that why you've been kneeling in the steam room?

Emmett

Careful Brian, you're dripping. I don't want any stains on the sofa.

Brian

Oh! Not yet anyway.

Michael

I told Ben a lie. A big fat lie.

Brian

Okay... who'd you fuck?

Michael

No one.

Brian

Oh. Then make it quick.

Michael

I finished his book three days ago... but I told him I'm still reading it.

Brian

That's it? That's the big fat... no. A big fat lie is I won't cum in your mouth.

Emmett

Just don't cum on the sofa!

Emmett

There's only so much fucking your brains out one can do.

Debbie

… you have a temperature, honey?
