Quotes 

• Faye Lapinsky : Who are you?

  Bernstein : I'm Bernstein.

  Faye Lapinsky : [surprised by his name due to his being black]  You're Jewish?

  Bernstein : No, darling; I'm gay.

  Faye Lapinsky : I don't care how you feel; you're a great dancer.

• Bernstein Chandler : My real name is Floyd Lewis. I was born in Macon, Georgia. My mother died when I was three years old. I don't know who my father is. My life is a fiction... all made up, my dears. No cleaning woman. No family named Bernstein. All fiction. Only the "gay" is real. My trade is real. My tricks are real. I've been brutalized physically and mentally. I really am out of my mind. So, please, let me stay under the covers. I just want to stay under the covers.
