Ben quotes from Queer as Folk (US)

Ben

It's more than just a comic book. There's nothing more sexual than the act of creation... it's the fucking greatest orgasm there is.

Ben

[as Michael goes to throw his shoe at something making noise outside his window] Mikey, save your shoes. That only works on cartoon cats.

Ben

[on Hunter's HIV status] There are no words to take away the illusion that every kid is entitled to: his invincibility.

Ben

Excuse me, I'm looking for Wonder Woman.

Debbie

You found her!

Ben

I teach Gay Studies at Carnegie Mellon.

Michael

I knew it!

Ben

You knew what?

Michael

Well with all that talk about cultural references, I knew you had to be.... a professor.

Ben

wait... Michael...

Michael

What for?

Ben

I just want you to know that... I'm HIV positive.

Michael

I knew how to put a condom on a cucumber before I knew how to drive!

Ben

Yeah, well, I was gonna ask you out tonight, but now I'm not so sure.

Michael

Why not?

Ben

A cucumber is a lot to live up to.

Michael

I should warn you, my friends can be a little...

Ben

Judgemental? Bitches? Condescending?

Michael

You've met them.

Michael

Okay, I don't know anything about basketball. In case you haven't noticed, I'm queer.

Ben

Yeah I love basketball and in case you haven't noticed, I'm queer too.

Michael

Oh, I've noticed.

Ben

Are you out of your mind?

Michael

You've met my mother, do you really need to ask that?

Ben

Were they lovers?

Ted

Would have been better if they had been. Then Brian could have broken his heart and Michael could have gotten over him.

Emmett

Instead of always wondering what it would have been like.

Ted

I want to go to Berlin, Amsterdam, Prague...

Ben

Great art, great history...

Ted

Great men.

Ben

No luck in the bedroom.

Michael

That's a first.

Michael

Since when do you smoke?

Ben

Since I'm nervous, Michael.

Michael

Ma, would you stop overfeeding him?

Debbie

He's one of the family now!

Ben

Yeah, I'm one of the family now!

Michael

My sincere condolences.
