Noah Mayer : I know this is hard for you to deal with. It's hard for me, too. I spent so many years of my life trying to push these feelings down, deny them, change them. And so have you. So I don't think you should pretend to be so surprised.
Winston Mayer : Well, I sure as hell was surprised to see what I saw today! You led me to believe that you and Maddie were a couple! When did you turn into such a... good liar?
Noah Mayer : I've been lying to myself forever. Trying to convince myself- trying to convince you! It took over my life.
Winston Mayer : So what else in our life was a lie?
Noah Mayer : The idea that there was something wrong with me. That's why you wanted me to join the army, that's why you were so happy that me and Maddie were moving in together.
Winston Mayer : That was not my idea, Noah! And how could you do this to her?
Noah Mayer : That was a mistake. Haven't you ever made a mistake? Dad?
Winston Mayer : Obviously I made a hell of a lot of them with you.
Noah Mayer : It's not your fault I'm gay! It's nobody's fault. And guess what? I'm happy with who I am. Finally! For the first time in my life.

Luke Snyder : [Sitting after walking in on an awkward moment between Zack and Noah] ... Okay. What was that about?
Noah Mayer : Zac kissed me.
Luke Snyder : ...What?
Noah Mayer : Zac kissed me, don't worry, it was harmless.
Luke Snyder : [Exasperated] Are you serious?
Noah Mayer : It came out of the blue. It's not going to happen again, he got no encouragement. None!
Luke Snyder : [sighing] Oh, man, I knew he had a thing for you.
Noah Mayer : It was no big deal!
Luke Snyder : No big deal? The last time you saw someone kiss me you punched him in the face!

[Luke is wheelchair bound]
Noah Mayer : Let's just... let's do something physical.
Luke Snyder : [Playfully] Like what?
Noah Mayer : Like your physical therapy.
[Luke looks defeated]
-
Noah Mayer : I didn't do that for you, I just couldn't stand to see that psycho slut with her hands all over my boyfriend.
Luke Snyder : I love you.
-
Noah Mayer : ...That's weird. I could have sworn I left this closed. You didn't go into it for anything, did you?
Luke Snyder : Uh, I was the guy mucking out the stall next to you? When would I have done that?

Luke Snyder : [Sits across from Noah] Hey!
[Notices his large sandwich]
Luke Snyder : Well, I guess your film editing class gives you a pretty big appetite, huh? What, the banana split I made for you wasn't big enough?
Noah Mayer : No, it was great, I just had to miss lunch because I was studying. And that sugar fix was good but no substitute for four different kinds of meat.
Luke Snyder : Well, if I didn't know better I'd say you were sublimating something.
Noah Mayer : Oh, get out, that psych class is going to your head.
Luke Snyder : My professor, Dr. Freudenheim, would say that your increased appetite was due to an acute oral fixation.
Noah Mayer : So, what, are you saying this is... all about sex?
Luke Snyder : [laughs] Oh, no, I didn't say that. *You* said that. Must be on your mind.
Noah Mayer : It is... all the time, actually. How about you?
Luke Snyder : [Later] Okay, well then, what's your fantasy first time? You know, would it be, lit by candlelight with rose petals strewn about the duvet?
Noah Mayer : I don't even know how to *spell* duvet. And as far as rose petals go, you can cut that out of my movie.
Luke Snyder : Okay, okay, so I guess the bearskin rug B&B is out of the picture. Well, what about, um... oh! What about, like, all sweaty and hot in the locker room after like a really rough game of handball?
Noah Mayer : ...Have you been watching porn?
Luke Snyder : At my grandma's house? No!
Noah Mayer : Well, you certainly have an active imagination!
Luke Snyder : That's because I'm a writer! I have to, it's my job!

[Luke is attempting to keep an injured Noah conscious]
Luke Snyder : Noah. Noah, y-you have to wake up, I have a question for you. Do you remember that film we watched a couple nights ago, you know, the one from your-from your film class? The uh, the four hours of Light on the Seer's Tower. You told me that it was a masterpiece, but I didn't get it so, so you have to explain to me what-what I missed.
Noah Mayer : [Slurring] Uh... the film is light, it's uh... it's the emotional palette of the artist and it's used to, um...
[coughs]
Luke Snyder : To what? To what? It's the emotional palette of the artist, it's used to what?
Noah Mayer : Uh... to express... his vision. And the broader the spectrum, the broader...
[Begins to lose consciousness]
Luke Snyder : [Tittering] Come on! Hey, hey! Hey, I'm about to fall asleep, too! Come on! I just insulted existential film making! You gonna let me get away with it? Noah? Noah, come on!

Girl : Do you wanna dance?
Noah Mayer : Uh, I'm gay.
Girl : I'm Stacy, and you didn't really answer my question.
