Quotes |
Simon:
I don't know how this usually works. Adam: What? Simon: With the anonymity. Uhm... with gays. You know, I'm not gay. I mean, I wasn't gay, until now. Adam: And now you think you are? Simon: No idea. No. Yes. I don't know. Adam: Don't worry too much. Simon: It's not that easy. Adam: It is. You just have to say goodbye. Simon: To what? Adam: To your deterministic understanding of biology.
