Quotes
-
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : We've been thinking of names. Mel wants to call him Abraham after her grandfather, but I like Gus.
[Brian looks at his son, then over to Justin.]
Brian : What do you think?
Justin : You wouldn't survive a day in school being named Abraham, but I guess Gus is okay.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Thank you very much, and who the hell are you?
Brian : His name's... Juh...
Michael Novotny : Justin.
Brian : You were on the phone when he shot his load all over me.
Lesbians In The Room : Ugh...
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Oh, Brian!
Brian : He can't help it. He's only seventeen.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : So you and Lindsay each had an infant tonight.
Brian : But mine doesn't suck on my tits, unless I want him to.
[looking back at Gus]
Brian : Gus! It's a good butch name. Come on Gus; give your daddy a smile.
-
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Want to hold him?
[Brian approaches the baby, holding him.]
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Ca... Careful! Don't drop him.
Brian : That is just what I was planning on doing.
-
Brian : Well, here we are. Ma and Pa.
[Lindsay starts to cry.]
Brian : Hey...
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Don't mind me. I'm just feeling a little... vulnerable.
Brian : I promise not to tell.
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Who would have thought? You and me, parents?
Brian : It's pretty scary, boys and girls. Think it's too late to return it?
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : [whispering] We could try...
[laughing]
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : I guess this means we're finally grown-ups.
Brian : Don't say that Wendy! We'll never grow up!
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Don't be scared. Hell, if our parents could fuck up, so could we.
-
Brian Kinney : A million dollars?
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : That's the general idea.
Brian Kinney : A million fucking dollars?
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Brian, please? You'll wake the baby.
Brian Kinney : Well the answer is no. Definitely not.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : I don't understand the problem. I mean, Lindsay told me you offered to help support him.
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : It was very generous.
Brian Kinney : Well that's different than a life insurance policy.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : It's simply in case something happens to you.
Brian Kinney : Like I'm decapitated on a railroad crossing? Or burned beyond recognition in some gas explosion? You know, I can just imagine the grisly deaths you've conjured up for me.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Like in case you get sick.
Brian Kinney : [pausing] ...Ah. Even better.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Considering your life. When's the last time you're tested.
Brian Kinney : Six months ago! I was negative.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : That's twenty-six weeks and a hundred and eighty-two one-night stands.
Brian Kinney : You know I've always admired people who can multiply in their heads. And I'm always careful.
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Look, this isn't for us. It's for our son. We need to make sure he'll be provided for.
Brian Kinney : And all I have to do is die.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Hopefully, not before you sign these papers.
[smug-smiling at Brian]

Brian : [Lindsey has just given birth to Brian's son, Gus] Alone at last!
[jumps on the hospital bed]
Lindsay : Careful!
Brian : Well here we are, maw and paw.
[Lindsay starts crying]
Brian : Hey!
[strokes her cheek]
Lindsay : Don't mind me, just feeling a little vulnerable.
Brian : I promise not to tell.
Lindsay : Who woulda thought, you and me, parents!
Brian : It's pretty scary, boys and girls. You think it's too late to return it?
Lindsay : We could try!
[they laugh]
Lindsay : I guess this means we're finally grownups.
Brian : Don't say that, Wendy, we'll never grow up!
Lindsay : Don't be scared. Hell, if our parents could fuck up, so can we!
Brian : I don't want you to worry. About money, I mean. If you need anything...
Lindsay : No, we'll be alright. But thanks.
[kisses his cheek]
Brian : I would have fucked you, ya know. If I wasn't afraid your lover'd beat the shit out of me.
Lindsay : Stop!
Brian : I mean it. She could take on Oscar de la Renta!
Lindsay : You mean La Hoya.
[she mock-punches his jaw]
Brian : Whatever.
Lindsay : Well, you had plenty of chances.
Brian : I took advantage of a few, if I recall.
Lindsay : It wasn't half bad!
Brian : Now you tell me? You mean I could have been straight this whole time?
Lindsay : I wouldn't say that!
Brian : I guess it's just as well.
[they kiss]
