Quotes 

• Brian : I'm not ready.

  Billy : You're not ready? You're in your 40s.

  Brian : I know straight men in their 40s who aren't ready.

  Billy : Yeah, but that's different.

  Brian : How is it different?

  Billy : Well, it's not down to them.

  Brian : It's not down to them?

  Billy : No, it's the woman's choice. A straight man can remove any sense of responsibility. We don't have that luxury.

• Brian : If there's one good thing about being gay, it's that we are, by definition, environmentally friendly.

  Billy : And that's it, is it?

  Brian : Well, no, we can also dress well without fear of ridicule.

• Brian : I love children as much as everyone else. I have seven godchildren, for fuck's sake.

  Billy : You have seven godchildren, because you can't have any of your own and people feel sorry for you.

  Brian : Do they bollocks. they think it's cool to have a gay influence. It's North London.

• Brian : Two fathers. What a nightmare.

  Billy : No, it's better than two mothers.

  Brian : That is sexist.

  Billy : You have met my mother.

  Brian : Fair enough.

• Brian : Without my income, we would be out of nappies within a fortnight.

  Billy : Without my job, I would be out of my mind in a week.

• Billy : We are all here because two people needed something more in their life than what they had.

• Billy : My parents didn't speak to one another for a year before I was born, and then I came along and everything got better. And they don't regret me coming along, and I certainly don't. I mean, admittedly, they haven't spoken to me in over ten years, but they didn't know they were creating a sexual deviant.

  Brian : Your parents are cave dwellers. They are a bad example.

  Billy : Yeah, but my point is that I am the result of truly selfish behaviour and I'm fuckin' made up about it.
