Dana: Anything.

Lara: You have to start taking at least some steps towards being out.

Dana: I will.

Lara: Because you’re really going to be miserable being in the closet.

Dana: I know.

Lara: And you are really really gay.

Dana: I know that.

Lara: It’s one of the things I like so much about you when you hide that you’re hiding the best part

Melvin’s hotel room

Melvin: What is it?

Kit: Dad it’s me Katie

Melvin: If you want to see me we could arrange a meeting at a more appropriate hour

Kit: I figured you were up doing your 5:00am sit-ups.

Melvin: So I was.

Kit: That’s a lot of years without changing.

Melvin: It appears to be mutual

Kit: It has been a long time hasn’t it?

Melvin: Well yes. This is what happens, isn’t it? These are the consequences of your actions

Kit: I’m not here to talk about me Dad. I’m here for Bette.

Melvin: She sent you here?

Kit: No … I came on my own. She showed up at my apartment, upset over what happened between the two of you.

Melvin: Do you know the situation? I’m supposed to call a child not even related to me a grandchild.

Kit: And would that be the end of the world?

Melvin: ”No. It would be a lie.”

Kit: Oh, and you don’t ever do that, do you? I don’t know what she expected from you, and I don’t understand who she thinks you are.

Melvin: If what you have in mind is to exploit the situation with your sister so that you can come up here and insult me I will not allow it and if you had lived some kind of life of decency and respectability then, possibly I would be your audience, but not now.

Kit: You should be careful not to take your anger and bitterness over what happened between you and me out on Bette. She’s been hurt enough by that. All she wants is your blessing. Why would you deny her that? For biology? Don’t turn Bette away from you because you can’t find it in yourself to accept her situation. She thinks the world of you. You reject her and Tina’s child and that’s just what you’ll be doing. Do you really want to do that? Open your door 13 years later, and see your daughter’s face, older and a stranger’s?
