QUOTES:

• Oh, how does it feel to have a dream come true?
• Hey, you don't know me well enough to assume anything about me. Or how rough it's been for me, or what my life is like or what it's cost me to get where I am.
• It's moments like these where I'm convinced I’m straight.
• Then why me? Why do I have to have every moment in my life that should be easy and fun, be judged and scrutinized? I didn’t ask for this role, y’know? I didn’t ask or want to be this different. I didn’t ask to be gay!
• Today. Today was a day. The world got smaller, darker. I grew more afraid. Not of what I am but of what... I grew more afraid. Not of what I am but of what I could be. I loosen my collar to take a breath. My eyes fade. And I see... Him. The image of perfection. His frame strong. His lips smooth. And I keep thinking. What am I so scared of... I wish I could escape the pain, but these thoughts invade my head. Bound to my memory, they're like shackles of guilt. Oh God, please set me free...
• Yes, I am! You know it. I see how you look at me -- and I know you know. Think about how you treated me and the way you treated Tim. Because he was the real son, and I was different. And as hard as you've tried to stamp it out or to ignore it, I've tried harder. I've tried harder than you, to be quiet, and to forget, and to not bother my family with my problem. But I can't try anymore, because it hurts. I'm sorry, Dad. Andie, I'm sorry. I don't want to be going through this. But I am.
• Did it ever occur to you that you're so caught up in trying to make the right choice that you've never stopped to consider the possibility that there may not be a right choice, or a wrong choice, just a bunch of choices?
• On gay bowling night? Of course I’m embarrassed. But it’s not the gay part that’s embarrassing. It’s the bowling.
• Not for nothing, Jen. But it's only since you've been seeing a psychologist that I'm starting to think you may be in fact crazy.
• I don't think that's a good idea, Dawson. Pieces of the last boat you borrowed are still floating around the creek.
• I don't think you're angry at me for kissing you. I think you're angry at yourself for kissing me back.
• Maybe. Fact of the matter is, Joey and I have something and you aren't going to like it. But if you have any respect for Joey, you better respect me.
• Oh, that's always the excuse, isn't it? You work too hard. Well, I could care less how hard you work. What's the sense in trying to support a family you don't even care about?
• No! This is one conversation that you can't run away from! You don't want to talk about Tim's death. Or Mom being sick or even why she's sick. You trust the reality of why your daughter's been on and off prescription drugs for the last two years. That's fine, too.
• Is there an animosity of a point here, Dawson, or is this just another chance for you to harass me over a decaying issue?
• Yeah, no, I'm serious. Let me pose for you. No big deal.
• You know, it's not just that it was scary. I mean, that was part of it, but...I don't know, it's...it's hard to describe. You know, I'm not really that good at expressing myself. You know, I...I guess you found my...social flaw
• No. I'm just a guy who...finds it really hard not to want to hold you, and touch you, and I didn't really realize that until tonight when it was completely forbidden.
• All the really exciting things in life require more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap. See Joey, the kind of fear you’re talking about... sometimes it's how you know what's worthwhile.
• That's the point. You don't need help. There's nothing to figure out here. There's only what you feel.
• Oh God. If I hear the word 'gay' one more time I'm gonna scream.
• I'm scared that I'm gonna end up alone. I'm scared that I'm always gonna be someone's friend, or brother, or confidant but never quite... someone's everything. Mostly I'm scared I'm never gonna meet a guy that I love as much as I love you.
• I don't think you're angry at me for kissing you. I think you're Yeah, I did. I'm not going to apoligize for it, man, cause truth is, I'd do it again so let's not make this into a high school romp alright?
• Well, maybe I have no chance, but I've always been sort of a sucker for lost causes so...
