• Harry : [touching Adam's chest]  Don't let this get tangled up again.

• Harry : [holding a bottle of whiskey]  A drink? It's Japanese. It's meant to be the best in the world, but I couldn't tell you why.

  Adam : No, thanks.

  Harry : Okay. Okay. How about I come in anyway? If not for a drink, then for whatever else you might want.

  Adam : I don't think that's a good idea.

  Harry : Do I scare you?

  Adam : No.

  Harry : We don't have to do anything if I'm not your type. There's vampires at my door.

• Harry : How come no one found me? Where are my friends? My brother and sister. Where are my mum and dad?

  Adam : I found you.

  Harry : But I don't want you to see me like that. Not like that. In there.

  Adam : You are not in there. This is you, here. With me.

• Harry : [looking at a photo]  This your mum and dad?

  Adam : Yeah. They died just before I was twelve.

  Harry : I'm really sorry.

  Adam : Oh, thanks. It was a long time ago.

  Harry : I don't think that matters. I can't even begin to imagine how lonely you must have been.

• Harry : [to Adam]  Been thinking about you all week today. I was thinking about watching crappy TV with you on a Friday night. Watching old episodes of Top of the Pops from before I was born. Eating takeaway on the sofa.

• Harry : I dont go home much.

  Adam : Does that make you sad?

  Harry : I've always felt like a stranger in my own family.

• Harry : I didn't want you to see me this way.

• Harry : [to Adam]  I know how easy it can be to stop caring about yourself.

• Adam : [referring to his parents]  I'm trying to write about them at the moment.

  Harry : How's it going?

  Adam : Strangely.

• Harry : You are queer, right?

  Adam : Yeah.

  Harry : [smiling]  That's good.

  Adam : Well, 'gay'. I can't get used to calling myself 'queer'. It was always such an insult.

  Harry : It's probably why we hate 'gay' so much now. 'Gay' meant lame and shit. Those trainers are gay. That haircut's gay. This sofa is gay. Your school bag's gay.

  [Adam smiles] 

  Harry : 'Queer' does feel polite somehow though. Like all the dick sucking's been taken out.

• Harry : I'm assuming you're not with anyone. You're often single.

  Adam : I suppose so, yeah. Are you?

  Harry : Yeah. But not for want of trying.

• Harry : There's no need to be shy around me.

  Adam : Yeah, that's easier said than done.
