  Danny Russo : Cool.

• Stephen Torcelli : You think we have internalized homophobia? I don't know. Sometimes I wonder if, maybe, I need to do this kind of work. Well, maybe not THIS kind of work, but somethn' really tough, you know, really manly to almost, uh, make up for being gay. How 'bout you?

  Danny Russo : It was something we did together. I saw how much you liked it, how happy you were.

  Stephen Torcelli : I'm so sorry, Danny.
