Ben quotes from Queer as Folk (US)

Michael

(about Ben and his apartment) It's not that bad!

Ben

Not if you're 24 and want to fuck everything that moves... or Brian.

Ben

A casserole I made to take along. Millet, leeks and soy cheese.

Emmett

Are you sure you're not a lesbian?

Debbie

What's up his ass?

Ben

Why don't you find out?

Debbie

I'll leave that up to you.

Brian

You know, I thought one of the benefits of marriage - besides getting to have sex with the same person for the rest of your natural born life - was being able to let yourself go.

Ben

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know Michael and I still enjoy looking good for each other.

Brian

You still look?

Ben

Not everyone regards marriage and monogamy as a death sentence. For some of us, they're simply a part of growing up.

Brian

You mean giving up. Surrendering to the straight world's conception of what it means to be a man.

Ben

Can't be Peter Pan forever.

Brian

You can try.

Brian

Well I may not have stopped Michael from becoming one of the step ford fags, but at least I saved Justin from a fate worse than being a heterosexual.

Ben

And what is that?

Brian

An imitation heterosexual.

Ben

Aren't you going after your prey?

Brian

I'd love to professor. But, still got another 24 hours until the Syphilis clears up.

Ben

Your children lead privileged lives. And you dare to laugh at my son's misfortune.

Hunter

It's okay, Ben. I'm glad I came here tonight. Because I learned something to. Now I know how your kid's got to be the way they are.

Ben

Great party, huh? Everybody seemed to have a good time.

Hunter

Yeah, if you call Melanie and Lindsay declaring a cease-fire, Brian leaving to go to a sex party, and you and Michael sticking that fucking camera in my face pretending we're this happy family having a good time.

Ben

We're not pretending, we are.

Ben

You're gonna get through this, I promise.

Hunter

Fuck your false hope. The world's a stinking shit hole.
