Lee Rumohr: Troy

Quotes 

• Troy : You're right. You're totally right. I'm not gay! I mean, I'm not - I don't visualize guys... Not anymore. Just you, Merrick. I'm alone.

  Merrick : No you're not. Now we're real best friends.

• Merrick : I'm sorry that I hurt you.

  Troy : You destroyed me.

  Merrick : I'm sorry.

  Troy : No, I'm the idiot. I stuck around.

  Merrick : You're a beautiful idiot. You're a beautiful idiot.

• Troy : You're a liar.

  Merrick : Dude, it's okay...

  Troy : Don't touch me! Don't hurt me. I mean, I'm trying to be honest here, and you're...

  Merrick : Yeah, this is good...

  Troy : Shut up, Merrick! And I'm not in denial. You know, high school's over, Merrick, these girls, this jock bullshit...

  Merrick : This is very...

  Troy : Shut up. Shut up. You're like some - you twist things! I don't understand you. I don't. Are you bisexual?

  Merrick : I'm like everyone.

  Troy : You're like everyone.

  Merrick : I'm like everyone, man. I'm a blip on the Kinsey scale. You're just human man. Okay, you can't be one hundred percent any one thing, alright? Including gay.

  Troy : No, I'm pretty gay.

• Merrick : I'm sorry that I hurt you.

  Troy : You destroyed me.

• Troy : I care about you. More than friends. More than just friends, Merrick.

  Merrick : I know.

  Troy : Why can't we kiss? Huh? I mean, why is it that we can do everything else but we can't kiss? I mean, do you know how many times we've had these late night sexual things? Cause I don't. Merrick, this is major. I've lost count.

  Merrick : Yeah, I have too man, but, maybe I don't care as much as you do. You're in denial, Troy, you're in denial.

  Troy : You sucked my dick, you're in denial.

• Troy : You're fucked. You're fucked up. I mean, do you think - why do you think that you moved in here with me? Hm? Stacey - you broke up with Stacey, she's the root of all your problems, come on Merrick. I mean, you honestly believe that we've fooled around this much, and you moving in here, and you're not gay?

• Troy : Merrick, you've known what's been going on in my head.

  Merrick : Yeah, I'm a jerk.

• Troy : Do you know how pathetic I am now? I mean, why - why do you think I try to kiss you? Hm? Why? Because I can't take what we are or what we aren't anymore. Because everytime we do stuff, I mean, we don't talk about it. I mean, we're like two statues.

• Troy : I'm not going to listen to you. You aren't a blip, Merrick, you put it in my mouth and you want it.

  Merrick : You put it in those cheerleaders, Troy! Those bouncy cheerleaders.

  Troy : That's different. That's totally different. I mean, I kept that going because I was visualizing locker rooms, and guys.

  Troy : Yeah, and I kept it going because I was visualizing girls. Okay, girls, and tits, and ass, and cunts. And a hole is a hole, Troy. It's just a hole.

• Merrick : I wish we were drunk.

  Troy : Yeah, but we're not.

• Troy : That first night, why did it happen?

  Merrick : Maybe it was meant to happen. I need you. I - I love you.

  Troy : You don't need me.

  Merrick : Maybe I do.

  Troy : No, you're just desperate for something.

  Merrick : Yeah, I am desperate. My whole world's imploding. Like it's backwards, and sucking me up.

• Merrick : I told her everything. Every detail about you and me.

  Troy : There is no you and me.

  Merrick : Thanks.

  Troy : I'm sick of these head games. I'm sick of them. I mean, are you or are you not gay? Is she or is she not pregnant? Are you a DJ or are you an artist? Haha! You're immature, Merrick. You know what, I have to take a rational road that suits me, that is healthy, and mature.

  Merrick : Have you been watching Oprah?

  Troy : No, reading.

  Merrick : I don't like you reading.

• Troy : I'm leaving. I'm leaving this crummy place. I'm exhausted. I lose.

  Merrick : No.

  Troy : To her, I guess. To you. I mean, you could blow me here, right now, but I'm crossing a bridge, tomorrow, and I'll disappear.

  Merrick : Maybe I'll jump from this bridge.

  Troy : I'd like to stay, but you're not suddenly the Merrick in my head. You're the bad Merrick. The real one. Tomorrow, even if it sucks, I'll be some place where denial is a crime, and you'd be locked up.

  Merrick : Why am I scared?

  Troy : Your control's slipping away.

  Merrick : That's what I am?

  Troy : Out of control.

  Merrick : What if you're supposed to control me?

  Troy : I can't.

• Merrick : I'm not bad Merrick.

  Troy : No, you are.

  Merrick : I'm sorry that I hurt you.

  Troy : You destroyed me.

• Stacey : Troy?

  Troy : Yeah?

  Stacey : What kind of faggot are you?

• Merrick : You hate me. I know. Do you?

  Troy : Yeah.

  Merrick : Oh, come on. But I'm just a clerk in a video store. I know nothing of love.

• Troy : Say something.

  Merrick : Something.

  Troy : Something else.

  Merrick : I'm hard. You too.

• Donna : Troy, you gotta get out of here.

  Troy : Well, I'm moving to Toronto.

  Donna : Oh. You know you take yourself with you.

  Troy : Yeah, I don't wanna take myself.

• Troy : Why'd you stay with me?

  Donna : Troy, I dug you. You know, I remember the exact date, time, and TV show when I discovered that you weren't into me... I caught you. I watched you in your rec room stroking yourself to a male undergear catalog. A crusty, stuck together male undergear catalog. And I was your girlfriend.

• Troy : So, what? You're - you're suddenly gay for me, and... you know what, this fucks me up Merrick. Fuck! You don't even know.

• Merrick : Don't be afraid.

  Troy : Well I am.

• Merrick : That's the first time we kissed.

  Troy : I know. Still feeling human?

  Merrick : Yeah. So what happens next?

  Troy : Goodbye.

• Troy : I hate Merrick.

  Stacey : Oh?

  Troy : Yep.
