Barney:note You know what would kick ass?
Ted: Being gay?
Barney: Being gay would kick ass!
Ted: Guys understand each other!
Barney: Imagine a relationship where instead of talking about feelings all the time, you just play some madden, eat a pizza, give each other a happy, roll over and have some cuddle-free shut-eye.
Ted: For what it's worth, if we were both gay, you'd be my first call.
Barney: Would you mind calling Marshall and telling him that? Because—
Ted: This is only in a scenario where you and I are gay, not Marshall.
Barney: But if all three of us were gay, you'd pick me over Marshall, right?
Ted: If all three of us were gay, we all three of us would have some fun.

Peridot: [on a Show Within a Show] Somehow the rejects at Camp Clod fail to recognize the superior pair that is Pierre and Percy.
Steven: Well, that's 'cause Paulette likes Percy.
Peridot: Paulette? Ha! Paulette has no place in the camp's hierarchy. Now Pierre, Pierre is a brute! Pierre laid waste to the three-legged races. Pierre and Percy present the strongest battle formation. They'd destroy the camp!
Steven: You got all that from one episode?
Peridot: It's subtext, Steven.
Steven: Well, that's 'cause Paulette likes Percy.
Peridot: Paulette? Ha! Paulette has no place in the camp's hierarchy. Now Pierre, Pierre is a brute! Pierre laid waste to the three-legged races. Pierre and Percy present the strongest battle formation. They'd destroy the camp!

Judy: Hi, I'm Judy, your new neighbor!
Antelope #1: Yeah? Well we're loud.

Antelope #1: Yeah? Well we're loud.
Antelope #2: Don't expect us to apologize for it.

"If there's a rifle hanging on the wall in the first chapter of a story, according to Anton Chekhov's oft-quoted dramatic principle, then that thing had better go off by chapters two or three. A rifle that never gets fired shouldn't be hanging there in the first place. But Westworld, for all of its painstakingly elaborate plotting, did something many other shows have done before it: dangled a few big gay guns in front of its queer viewers in early episodes, only to have them remain strangely silent as the show erupted in a hail of gunfire."
Pat: Okay, okay, okay, okay... Like, JoJo has always had this amazing undercurrent of latent homoeroticism...
Woolie: That's correct.
Pat: But, having your character be this lithe, pretty, beautiful sailor boy feels like... I'm not saying it's too much, I'm worried that there's nowhere to go. [laughs]
Woolie: Araki's fetishes are evolving. We're watching a man discover himself sexually.
Pat: [starts laughing again] Over the course of THIRTY YEARS?!
[both start laughing hysterically]
Woolie: That's what the whole thing is about!
Woolie: That's correct.

Bashir: I mean, if anything, by spending your free time in the bedroom, a place you intimately associate with Keiko, you are actually expressing a desire to be closer to her during her absence. It's quite touching, really.
O'Brien: Exactly, exactly! See, you understand! Now, why can't she see that?! Why can't she be more like— [realizes he's about to say "like you" and suddenly cuts himself off]
Bashir: ..."more like"?
O'Brien: ...a man. More like a man.
Bashir: ...So, you wish Keiko was more like a man?
[Beat]
O'Brien: I wish I was on this trip with someone else, that's what I wish.
O'Brien: Exactly, exactly! See, you understand! Now, why can't she see that?! Why can't she be more like— [realizes he's about to say "like you" and suddenly cuts himself off]

"When I walked on set to do the very first scene with Sid, I saw Sid — and he was one of the most beautiful young men I have ever seen in my life. And I thought, wait a second. Wait a second. I wanna fuck this guy. This is what this is about! Forget about the spy shit."
