Quotes
-
Justin Taylor : Does your Mom know you're out, buying jewelry?
Daphne Chanders : No. She's totally cool with everything, only she's pretending to be because she's scared I'll run away and become a hairdresser.
Justin Taylor : I hate you. My Mom's such a bitch and I haven't even given her a reason yet.

Justin Taylor : [Justin sees Melanie and Lindsay from across the street. To Daphne] Look! That's them. Brian's lesbians.
[crossing the street]
Justin Taylor : Hey. Hey! How's it going?
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : I'm sorry, do we know you?
Justin Taylor : I'm Justin. Brian's friend. I was there the night Gus was born. I named him.
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Yeah...
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Oh, right! So when Gus ends up pumping gas, we'll have you to thank.
[Lindsay laughs.]
Justin Taylor : This is Daphne.
Daphne Chanders : Hi. I'm not lesbian, but I, I... I'm a big fan.
[Lindsay and Melanie don't know what to say.]
Justin Taylor : He's gotten so big already.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Oh, well, you would too if all you did was sleep and eat all day.
Daphne Chanders : He does.
Justin Taylor : He's like the cutest baby I've ever seen. If you ever need a babysitter...
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Don't say that unless you mean it.
Justin Taylor : And if you need any help carrying stuff to the car, I'll be glad to be of...
[Lindsay immediately hands the bags over to Justin.]
Justin Taylor : [slowly] ...assistance.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Wow, you're good for a thousand and one uses.
Daphne Chanders : I'll see you later.
Justin Taylor : I don't know.

Brian : [Brian knocks on the door. Melanie opens it, and a doll greets her.] I got something for Gus.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : [laughing] That's so sweet. We'll call Michael later to thank him.
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : How long have you been drawing?
Justin Taylor : My Mom brought me crayons when I was still in the crib. I never stopped.
Brian : What's he doing here?
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : We ran into each other on the street.
Justin Taylor : It was like this weird coincidence.
Brian : I bet.
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : [looking at Justin's drawings] You know, these are good!
Justin Taylor : That's what my Mother says.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Lindsay's an art teacher.
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : For someone your age, you have an amazing feel for the human form.
Brian : I've noticed that myself.
[throws a teddy bear at Justin]
-
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : You know, there's going to be an art show at G.L.C.
Justin Taylor : What's that?
Brian : The Gay and Lesbian Center.
[Justin frowns.]
Brian : Safe haven for fags who can't get laid.
-
Brian : Good. Give him some activity so he'll stop stalking me.
[throws the bear at him again]
Justin Taylor : Don't flatter yourself.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : [laughs] Oh, we like Justin. Justin can stay.
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : We'll make sure everyone comes.
[to Brian]
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : including you.
Brian : Bitch.
-
Justin Taylor : [Justin and Daphne are at the Gay and Lesbian center. Girl hanging artwork starts talking to them] You can tell I'm gay?
Jan : Well, you're here, aren't you?
[to Daphne]
Jan : I'm heading on down to the diner to get a soda. You wanna come?
Daphne Chanders : [looks at Justin] Sure.
Justin Taylor : W-w-what are you doing? She thinks you're a lesbian.
Daphne Chanders : Well, can't I be one of the cool people too?
Justin Taylor : You're a freak.
-
Justin Taylor : Do you think Brian's gonna come?
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : [pausing] Don't expect too much from him, okay?
Justin Taylor : What's too much?
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Anything at all. You'll have lots of relationships, Justin, with lots of interesting people. I know you don't believe that right now, but you will.
Justin Taylor : I just want him to see his picture framed, that's all.
-
Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson : Everyone loves your drawings!
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Yeah, check out the food?
Justin Taylor : I'm not hungry.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : Okay, how about the cute guys? There are some right over there just about your age.
[Justin looks over to the entrance, and he sees the love of his life.]
Justin Taylor : [smiles] He's here.
Melanie 'Mel' Marcus : [sarcastically] Hmmm... Yippee.
-
Brian : [to Justin and Daphne] Oh, look, it's the cast of "Zoom".
Daphne Chanders : We're celebrating. Justin sold some of his art today.
Justin Taylor : The one of you... naked.
Michael : Who'd buy that?
Emmett Honeycutt : Probably some desperate queen who's always pined for you.
Brian : Oh, Ted, how thoughtful.
