"He should've had his hair cut a week ago it would have time to set, that's Hair 101."" "Yeah, but we had a dilemma" "You see, his body was in worse shape than his hair so we had to send him to a fat farm" "He thought he was going to a spa Isn't that great?" "Why is everyone talking to me today?" "Um..." "Anyway, this is how we want his hair cut, okay?" "Chunky, but not too chunky" "PC, but not too PC" "And gay, but not too gay" "Yeah, we want him to be cruised in Chelsea but not beat up in Brooklyn" "Oh, crap, here she comes!"

"Well, it was a dicey experimental surgery" "But those Dominican doctors said if she wanted to look 70 again she'd just have to try it" "And yet, she lived through it" "You must have been devastated" "Oh, I'll survive" "But poor you..." "Your husband, Stanley Walker dumps you for a younger hootchie mama who serves soft potatoes" "He went from smashed to mashed" "I have to laugh to keep from crying" "Ow!"

"What am I wearing to this party tonight?" "Okay, dressing for these things it's always a fine line" "How do I turn on the gay guys without arousing the lesbians?" "Heh" "Barry's got a new tux" "He didn't want me to see it until tonight..." "Wanted to surprise me" "Isn't that adorable?" "Yeah, cute as a box of babies" "Okay, this one's slitty" "This one's slutty" "This one's titty" "This one's butty" "Okay, here's some accessories and lingerie" "Mix and match, enjoy" "Oh..." "What?" "This is gonna kill you" "I doubt it" "Barry went to Barney's to pick out his first gym bag" "Can you imagine what that was like?" "I can..."

"Somewhere, Rip Taylor is saying" ""Now, that's faggy."" "So whatcha doin'?" " Waitin' for your date?" " Barry is not my date" "Yet, you admit you love him" "If I care for him it is only in the way that a mentor cares for his student" "You know, the way-- the way, in My Fair Lady" "Henry Higgins cared for Eliza Doolittle" "Henry Higgins loved Eliza" "He grew accustomed to her face" "That's love" "Oh, please, if there was any love in that story it was between Higgins and Pickering" "You're nuts" "Two confirmed bachelors in their late fifties whose idea of a good time is dressing" "Audrey Hepburn in fabulous Edith Head outfits?"

"Par example:" "Though two rights might make a wrong a rolling butt gathers no moss" "I see..." "But that wasn't really a joke, was it?" "It was pretty much just a random selection of words" "Exactly..." "My four-fingered friend" "Hey, some party, huh?" "I just saw two guys meet, marry, split up and then get back together again for the sake of the Eames furniture" "It's amazing" "I've never seen so many good-looking guys in one room" "Hey!" "You can include yourself in that, mister" "Doesn't he look good, Will?"

"but non-toxic 'cause you know it's just gonna end up in his mouth" "You don't buy things" "It's a silent auction" "You write down your bid" "We'll announce the winners at the end of the night and the money goes to help enact hate-crime laws and battle prejudice" "Oh..." "And they say lesbians aren't funny" "Here's an exciting item, uh... a gourmet chef comes to your house and prepares a romantic dinner for two" "Yeah, I hear ya loud and clear, coach" "But, uh, I just got out of a relationship and I think it's a little early, okay?" "But I think Jackie might like it Yeah" "Mm-hmm" "Not so fast" "I want that dinner too" "Well, what are you doing here you frosted mini-wheat?"

" How could you do this to me?" "Why would you tell me that I like Barry?" " Because you do like him" " That's not the point" "I was perfectly happy not knowing how I felt" "Now I feel all--all raw and self-conscious like--like a stewardess without makeup" " Thanks a lot, Grace" " Stop it" "You always do this" "Instead of allowing yourself to feel" "Oh, I don't know, excited or happy or vulnerable" " you just go straight to anger" " No, I don't" "Oh, really?" "How do you feel about the ending of Titanic?" "Oh, that was just stupid!" "Of course they hit an iceberg!" "Two guys in the crow's nest a ship that big?" "!"

"Okay, you listen to me" "You are a gorgeous man who is smart, sexy, and kind" "Wow..." "How many deviled eggs did you have?" "Okay, just go up to him and talk to him and say what you feel" "He'd be so lucky to have you" "I will." "I will" "I-I-I gotta go to the men's room" "My eyebrows are too bushy" "Thanks, sweetie" "Yeah, that's okay" "That dinner is mine you sad, pickled woman!" "It's mine, Baby Gap!" "All right!" "Top that..." "Mrs. Walker" "I can't" "Since Stan left me" "I can't throw around money with the same ease that I can throw around you" "I'm out, you happy now?" "Oh!" "What kind of human being would I be if I couldn't ring joy from a dear friend's misery?" "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" "Well...enjoy your dinner" "You're short" "Will" "Will, look at our boy" "Isn't he doing great?" "I'm so proud of us" "We should win an award" "I don't think they give out awards for helping people be gay" "Well... unless you count the Tonys" "Look, I gotta go to the little boys room" "My hose is riding up" "You're wearing pantyhose?" "No" "Come on You go" "Go keep an eye on Barry" "He doesn't understand how predatory some of these guys can be" "Ooh, excuse me" "I see a defenseless queerling who's wandered away from the flock" "Why haven't you talked to him yet?" "I'm intimidated, okay?" "It's like I've" "I've created a guy that's too hot for me to date" "It's the same reason Dr. Frankenstein didn't date his monster" "What?" "Dr. Frankenstein wasn't a homo" "Oh, really?" "He sewed together a bunch of guys to create the perfect man?" "Wrapped him in linen" "Give him a flat head so you can set a drink on it" "Dr. Frank was a 'mo, my friend" "He was a 'mo" " Go" " No" "Oh!" "Oh, hey" "Barry, I-I..." "Will, you've gotta help keep me away from that auction table" "I'm bidding on things I don't even want" "I know" "I'm up to $300 on lunch and a steam with Jerry Orbach" "Hey" "Wow, that guy's been checking me out all night" "He's not right for you!" "Why?" "Oh, right Jack's rule:" "Never date someone white after labor day" "I'm gonna go over there Yeah, you know, but" "But Barry, don't, um..." "Don't listen to his rules, okay" "They're stupid" "Except for that one about waiting half an hour after eating before dating a lifeguard" "But, you know... wh-when the right guy is there you'll know it" "I don't know" "Sometimes I feel like I'm never gonna find him" "You will" "He may even be closer than you think" "In fact, um..." "Barry, there's something that I've been meaning to" "Okay, everybody, listen up" "The silent auction is now officially closed" "Congratulations, we've raised more money here tonight than we ever have before" "We'll start by announcing our first item:" "A romantic dinner for two cooked in your very own home" "And the winner is..." "Karen Walker" "Wait, wait Ho, whoa, what?" "No!" "No, no, that's impossible!" "I was the highest bidder" "You're not the highest anything!"

"And to show my appreciation" "I would like to give my romantic dinner to my best gal pal" "Jack McFarland to share with whoever he wants" "What?" "!" "What?" "I won!" "I won!" "I won!" "Thank you, Karen!" "Now, I know the question that's on everybody's lips" "Who will I be sharing this dinner with?" "Who?" "Who, you?" "No Who?" "Who?" "Who..." "Anyway, wh-where was I?" "I-I--you know what" "I'm just gonna come right out and say it" " Barry..." " Barry!" " Would you go out" " Would you go out with me?" " Me?" " You?" "Him?" "I can't believe you're asking me" "Yeah, of course I would go out with you" "Wow, it's just like you said maybe the right guy was closer than I thought" "And then, we got married" "It was like a fairy tale" "And on the first night of our honeymoon he said something to me that I have never told anyone" "You're gonna love this" "was Jewish"
