Daphne quotes from Queer as Folk (US)

Daphne

That's Brian? God, he's so old! And skinny! You could do way better than that!

Daphne

I'm not a lesbian but I'm a big fan.

Daphne

Where have you been? Your mom called. I didn't know what to tell her. I said you were still asleep.

Justin

I just saw the face of God.

Daphne

Huh?

Justin

His name is Brian Kinney.

Justin

Guess what I was doing last night.

Daphne

Sleeping? Same as me.

Justin

Having sex. All night. With that guy I met, Brian Kinney. We did it 'til six in the morning... Well, aren't you shocked?

Daphne

Not really.

Justin

Oh.

Justin

What are you doing? She thinks you're a lesbian.

Daphne

Well, can't I be one of the cool people, too?

Daphne

Please, I'm never getting married. I mean, why be tied down?

Brian

I love this girl.

Daphne

[holds up a block of cheese] Smell this.

Justin

[smells] Smells like some guys I've gone down on.

Daphne

That is the grossest most disgusting thing I've ever heard! Eww!

Justin

I can't stop thinking about him. Last night I dream about him again. He somehow learned how to levitate and we were fucking mid-air.

Daphne

Wonder what that means.

Justin

Probably that I should see a shrink.

Daphne

It's only natural that these things take time. You know, you gotta somehow get over it. Move on. Tell yourself 'Ethan's history.'

Justin

Who's talking about Ethan? I'm talking about Brian.

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.

Daphne

Can I join?

Cody

It's only for queers.

Daphne

I thought keeping the streets safe was everyone's concern... well, I guess I'll grab a straight soda and head to my straight room and study my straight studies.
