Beverly:
So, Alan tells me you're a homosexual.
Tommy Ballenger:
Only because there was nothing good on television.
Beverly:
Well, I just find it so intriguing.
Tommy Ballenger:
Not always, Liberace for example.
Beverly:
Liberace is a homosexual?
Tommy Ballenger:
Sadly, yes.
Tommy Ballenger:
So what do you two have planned on the menu, a menage-a-trois?
Beverly:
Oh, no. Alan hates French food.
Peter Baxter:
Could you be any more of an alcoholic?
Mary Oakley:
Well I'll try, but no guarantees.
Peter Baxter:
I respect all of Alan's interests, I just don't like having them shoved down my throat.
Tommy Ballenger:
Did you take the little bus to school?
Tommy Ballenger:
So what made you want to become a writer?
Alan Oakley:
It's always been my dream since a child. When did you first realize you were gay?
Tommy Ballenger:
It's always been my dream since a child.
Mary Oakley:
That's the first time I've heard you complain about my son shoving anything down your throat.
Peter Baxter:
I'm not quite sure how to take that.
Mary Oakley:
Said the altar boy to the bishop.
Tommy Ballenger:
[to a reporter] I'd like to make a deal with the Anita Bryant people. You stop telling lies about us and we'll stop telling the truth about you.
Tommy Ballenger:
What part of fuck off, drop dead, go to Hell, you're not getting a Christmas card did you not understand, hmm?
Michael:
He opened his mouth, and Judy Garland's purse fell out.
Tommy Ballenger:
What do you want?
Alan Oakley:
I want to say I'm sorry.
Tommy Ballenger:
Absolution granted, go with God. We're done.
