- [as Mark Leaves to Go to The March]
- Mark's Crotchety Old Neighbour: I've spoken to the council about your deviant parties.

- Mark's Crotchety Old Neighbour: They're sending a policeman!
- Mark: Oh, I do hope so.
- [Talking to the receptionist of a Record Company]
- Receptionist: There are no gay artists on this label. I'm sorry.

- Mark: You take it and own it.
- Reggie: Nobody said anything about hiding who we are.
- Mark: Yes, they did. You.
- Reggie: I just think if everybody takes it easy on the...
- Ray: Flamboyance.
- Reggie: We're more likely to fit in.
- Jonathan: I'm sorry, just to be clear, when you say "flamboyance", you mean gay. And when you say "everyone", you mean me.
- Mark: Jonathan.
- Jonathan: Good. It's just I haven't spoken 1950s in quite a while.
- Mark: [on the phone trying to find a band for the Pits & Perverts ball] It's a fund-raising concert, and we're lookin' for bands to... no! No! No, no, no, I am in no way suggesting that Sting, or indeed any other member of The Police, is a pervert.
