- T.C.: Paulie, I'm gay.
- Paulie: Ey, you know I uh... if I'm honest with myself, I probably, you know it probably crossed my mind a couple of times, but just...
- T.C.: You never allowed yourself to really believe it, right?
- Paulie: Yeah. Yeah, I guess.
- T.C.: Yeah, well, welcome to the first 25 years of my life.
- Mike Sullivan: T.C. is gay.
- Jimbo: Bullshit.
- T.C.: I've got the boyfriend to prove it.

- Jimbo: Good for you.
- Paulie: ...why do you do the whole kids thing?
- Dez Howard: ...if you have one kid, you lose a little bit of your life, a little free time, a little bit of your freedom. But you have two kids, your life is over, Jo-Jo.
- Paulie: So why do it? I mean... why did you and Tina have another kid?
- Dez Howard: What do you do with your free time? Honestly, what do you do? You watch TV. You go hang out with these knuckleheads. You jerk off, right? Listen to me. Free time, it's not all it's cracked up to be. But at the end of the night, if I couldn't, you know... if I couldn't go upstairs and check in on my little boys, you know, if I couldn't look at 'em and make sure they're okay, you know, my life... my life would be empty, is what it'd be... Look, there are people that know, and there are people that don't know, and you, my man, are about to be a man that knows.
- Paulie: Look, I-I love Sue and I want the baby, I'm just...
- [trails off]
- Dez Howard: Then there's no problem. Alright listen, there's no problem. Go home.
- Paulie: [thinks for a while] Thank you, Desmond.
