Jennifer quotes from Queer as Folk (US)

Jennifer

Christ! Doesn't anyone introduce themselves before the fuck?! … Sorry.

Jennifer

He's seeing someone.

Craig

So who is this kid? I'll call his parents.

Jennifer

He's not a kid, he's a man. His name is Brian Kinney.

Craig

I am not gonna be humiliated by a bunch of...

Jennifer

Fags? I got news for you, big man. You already have been.

Brian

He's not my responsibility!

Jennifer

Oh, yes he is! You seduced him, you... fucked him! So now he's yours!

Mrs. Taylor, there are more important lessons to be taught here.

Jennifer

Than tolerance?

Jennifer

The day the doctor sent him home from the hospital he'd said that he'd never seen such a determined patient and he asked me what it was that made him work so hard. I knew but I didn't tell him... it was you. Every day that you didn't come to see him was more incentive for him to get better and get out so that he could come see you. Of course, what Justin didn't know and I didn't tell him was that you were there... every night. The nurse on duty told me. I want to thank you for that. But he's home now, safe and sound and there isn't any reason anymore for you to watch over him and so... so I would like you to leave. And never see him again.

Brian

I care about him.

Jennifer

It was because of you he was almost killed. Forgive me for being so blunt. I've tried to accept him for who he is. To accept your world and that he's a part of it. I've even tried to accept you. And as a result, I nearly lost him. And I don't intend to lose him again. So if you care about him and I believe you-- I believe you do, you'll do what I ask and return my son to me.

Jennifer

I came at the wrong time.

Brian

You two have a lot in common.

Brian

What would you like me to do?

Jennifer

Touch him. Help him be touched.

Brian

You want me to fuck him?

Jennifer

Well-- uh-- you're the one he trusts. If that's what it takes.

Jennifer

I'm proud of you Justin.

Justin

Proud of you too, mom.

Jennifer

He [Justin's Dad] says he won't pay for your school anymore.

Justin

That lame-ass shit! What's his feeble excuse?

Jennifer

The stock market and supporting 2 households... basically 'cos he's a lame-ass shit.

Jennifer

Have you registered?

Emmett

Yeah, I signed up yesterday.

Ted

You did?

Emmett

I asked you if you wanted to take strip-aerobics.

Ted

I believe Jennifer means to vote.

Justin

Margarita Lopez.

Excuse me?

Daphne

Margarita Lopez. Was a transsexual. She was murdered five years ago. Her killers have never been found.

The Pittsburgh PD does it's best to solve every crime; however, there is always the occasional-

Justin

Jefferson Proctor.

Lindsay

Jefferson Proctor. Was a gay African-American. Shot to death half a block from Woody's. Crime unsolved.

Justin

Natasha Ginsberg.

Melanie

Natasha Ginsberg. Age 61. A lesbian out walking her dog. Stabbed to death. Killers still at large.

Justin

Justin Taylor.

Jennifer

Justin Taylor. My beautiful gay son. Attacked at his prom, left for dead, police reported it as a simple assault, instead of a hate crime, which it was. His attacker got off with community service.

Ladies and gentleman, I want to thank these concerned citizens for reminding me of the violence that threatens and sometimes claims the lives of members of this community; however, the vast majority of violence crimes are solved and the criminals apprehended.

I remember that boy. His murder was tragic, someone so young.

Debbie

Then what was his name?

I may not recall his name but I do know-

Justin

Jason Kemp.

Debbie

His name was Jason Kemp. And the reason you don't remember it is because no one on your police force was ever able to find out what it was. But I did! The waitress who found his body in a dumpster behind the diner where I work. Jason Kemp AKA Dumpster Boy! Murder unsolved.

Justin

Mom.

Jennifer

Hi honey.

Brian

Hi honey.

Jennifer

Neither of you is willing to change?

Justin

That's not love. That's sacrifice.
