Alex Hughes
- Linda Freeman: B-A-A-N-G.
- Alex Hughes: You can't have two A's in bang.
- Linda Freeman: In Comic Book Word Scrabble, you can. You can have three A's if you want.
- Alex Hughes: So someone said you can drink this water.
- Maggie: Yeah, it's supposed to have healing properties. Why don't you take a sip?
- Alex Hughes: I don't think so.
- Maggie: What, you don't want to be healed? Set free of your demons?
- Alex Hughes: They keep me company.
- Linda Freeman: Do people like you Alex?
- Alex Hughes: Not much, no.
- Linda Freeman: I'm not surprised. It's because those glasses don't look right on your face, you have a long face and those glasses make you look shifty.
- Alex Hughes: Really?
- Linda Freeman: Yes.
- Alex Hughes: [of the autistic Linda] She's not *mad*.
- Maggie: Oh, I know. Vivienne explained it all to me. High-functioning; can talk a glass eye to sleep; but can't tie her shoelaces.
- Alex Hughes: I know how you must be feeling. I had a son...
- Linda Freeman: You don't know how I'm feeling because you're not me.
- Alex Hughes: Mrs Summer said you can drink this water.
- Maggie: Yeah, it's supposed to have healing properties. Why don't you take a sip?
- Alex Hughes: [stammers briefly] Don't think so.
- Maggie: What? You don't wanna be healed? Set free of your demons?
- Alex Hughes: They keep me company.
- Alex Hughes: Being with you. Being with Linda. Being with myself again. Hey, and I'm having sex and these muffins are great. That sort of thing.
- Vivienne Freeman: Behind every successful man is a truly astonished woman.
- Alex Hughes: He's gay.
- Vivienne Freeman: My point exactly.
- Linda Freeman: Have you ever had an orgasm, Alex?
- Alex Hughes: It has been known.
- Linda Freeman: It sounds like an inferior version of what I feel when I have a mouthful of snow.
- [Shoves some into her mouth]
- Maggie: [offering to the tea-deprived Alex] Assam. Darjeeling.
- Alex Hughes: [gratefully, choosing] There is a God!
- Maggie: Nope, there is FedEx! An English friend of mine sent it over. Don't go inventing a deity to thank for the small miracles. They just happen.
