Quotes 

• [after Michael informs Hunter that Brian already has a boyfriend] 

  Hunter : You do?

  Brian Kinney : In a non-defined, non-conventional way, yeah.

• [Michael and Hunter argue about Hunter's 'job' as a hustler] 

  Michael Charles Novotny : This guy could have killed you.

  Hunter : They all could.

  Michael Charles Novotny : Well, if you know that why do you do it?

  Hunter : I have low self-esteem. I was sexualized at too early an age. It's exciting, fun, and a great way to make non-reportable income.

  Michael Charles Novotny : I would like an honest answer, smart-ass.

  Brian Kinney : He just gave you one.

• Michael Charles Novotny : You fucked a murderer?

  Hunter : What's the big deal? I used a condom.

  Brian Kinney : [to Michael]  Well, your safe sex lecture paid off.

• Ben : Instead of being our foster son, we'd like you to be our real son. That is, if you'd like us to be your fathers.

  Hunter : You mean, you wanna adopt me?

  Michael : As soon as possible, in case Prop 14 passes.

  [Hunter begins writing in his journal, talking aloud] 

  Hunter : Today Michael and Ben asked me to be their son... I said yes.

• [having just come home from the hospital after hitting his head during a swim meet] 

  Hunter : Two hours for a fuckin' Band-Aid. Good thing I wasn't decapitated or I'd be sitting in that goddamn Emergency Room holding my head all night.

• Michael : You can't open someone else's mail. It's a federal offense.

  Hunter : I can see it now: I'm on Death Row awaiting a lethal injection. This mass murderer who killed 48 babies and ate them asks me what I'm being executed for. I say, "Opening Ben's letter."
