Queer as Folk (TV Series)

Smells Like Codependence (2001)

Randy Harrison: Justin Taylor

Quotes 

• Craig Taylor : [to Jennifer]  We're sending him away to school.

  [to Justin] 

  Craig Taylor : It's time you learn some discipline, how to be a man.

  Justin : I know all about discipline. And you should see me take it like a man.

  [Craig slaps him on the face.] 

  Jennifer Taylor : Craig!

  Justin : [after being slapped by his father]  It's all right, Mom! It didn't hurt.

  [to his father] 

  Justin : If you wanna hit me, go right ahead. Only I'm not gonna cry like some little faggot. And if you wanna send me away to school that's all right too. Because I bet more butt-fucking goes on in boarding school than in the backroom of Babylon. But whatever you do, it's not gonna matter. Because I'll still be your queer son.

• [first lines] 

  Daphne Chanders : [as a heavily tattooed man walks past]  Did you see that?

  Justin : Kind of hard to miss.

  Daphne Chanders : It's so gross.

  Justin : I think it's cool.

• Justin : Guess what I got today.

  Brian Kinney : A new bell for your bicycle?

  Justin : A nipple ring...

  [showing Brian the ring] 

  Brian Kinney : Every piece of trash has something stuck through their ear, and their nose, or their belly button, their cock. What makes you think I'm even remotely interested that you have a ring through your tit?

• Brian Kinney : [to Michael]  Don't forget about this Friday.

  Justin : What's this Friday?

  Brian Kinney : You're too young to know.

  Justin : Tell me!

  Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : It's just some heathen ritual called "Studs and Suds".

  Justin : "Studs and Suds"? What's that?

  [Brian looks over to Michael, and Michael shakes his head.] 

  Emmett Honeycutt : Well,

  [clears throat] 

  Emmett Honeycutt : first, they flood the dance floor of Babylon with soap suds...

  Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : ...then everyone strips down to their undies...

  Emmett Honeycutt : ...Or less. And dances. Cheek to cheek...

  [bumps Ted with his butt] 

  Justin : Sounds awesome!

  Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : It's disgusting!

  Emmett Honeycutt : See you there?

  Theodore 'Ted' Schmidt : Can't wait!

• Justin : You said you wouldn't tell! You promised!

  Jennifer Taylor : Justin, I had no choice. I had to tell Daddy.

  Justin : You lied to me. You said you wouldn't.

  Jennifer Taylor : It was for your own good. When I saw you with this... Brian...

  Justin : You keep calling him "this Brian", like that's his name. It's just "Brian".

  Jennifer Taylor : [pausing]  When I saw you with... Brian..., his arms around you, kissing you, I couldn't believe it! Not for the reason you think. It's not right for a man his age to be touching you! To be having sex with you. And..., even though you may think you... love him..., I'm sure he doesn't love you.

  Justin : That's not true.

  Craig Taylor : He's an adult! It's illegal for an adult to have sex with a minor.

  Jennifer Taylor : Honey, it's not your fault. We don't blame you. We understand this man... enticed you...

  Justin : He didn't entice me; I wanted him!

  Craig Taylor : Justin... God! You're... you're too young to know what you want...

  Jennifer Taylor : Craig, please. You promised you'd stay calm.

  Craig Taylor : I... I am calm. And what about A.I.D.S.?

  Justin : He wore a condom. I put it onto him myself.

  Craig Taylor : Oh! God! I'm calling the police.

  Jennifer Taylor : You're not calling anybody. That's all we need, for everybody to know.

  Craig Taylor : Wait, you want this monster, this... child molester to go free?

  Justin : He didn't molest me and I'm not a child.

  [looking at Jennifer] 

  Justin : I love him... more than anything else in my life. It's all I want - is to be with him.

  Craig Taylor : I... don't ever want to hear you say that again. And you are not to see him.

  Justin : I'm going to see him. I don't care what you say.

  Craig Taylor : I don't think so.

  [Justin just walks away from his parents.] 

  Craig Taylor : No, you're not, Justin. Hey, Justin!

• Justin : [talking about Brian getting in an accident]  Oh my god. It was my dad. I know it. When I saw his car, it was totally smashed!

  Melanie : Now why would your father want to do something like that?

  Justin : Because my Mom told him everything. He wants to have you arrested and send me away.

  Brian Kinney : Don't be a drama princess.
