Roy Cohn: "AIDS." "Homosexual." "Gay." "Lesbian." You think these are names that tell you who a person sleeps with, but they don't tell you that. 
Henry: No? 
Roy Cohn: No. Like all labels, they tell you one thing, and one thing only: Where does an individual so identified fit into the food chain, the pecking order? Not ideology or sexual taste, but something much simpler: clout. Not who I fuck or who fucks me, but who will come to the phone when I call, who owes me favors. This is what a label refers to. Now, to someone who does not understand this, a homosexual is what I am because I have sex with men, but really, this is wrong. A homosexual is somebody who, in fifteen years of trying, cannot get a pissant anti-discrimination bill through the city council. A homosexual is somebody who knows nobody and who nobody knows. Who has zero clout. Does this sound like me, Henry? — Angels in America 
 
Belize: [seeing that Roy appears dead] Is he...? 
Ethel Rosenberg: Mm-hm. 
Roy Cohn: [rising from his bed] No, I'm not! I fooled you, Ethel! I knew it was you the whole time! I can't believe you actually fell for that "Ma" stuff! I just wanted to see if I could finally, finally make Ethel Rosenberg sing! I win! 
[starts to flatline again] 
Roy Cohn: Oh...fuck. — Angels in America 
 
Dr. Peter Venkman: Alice, I'm going to ask you a couple of standard questions, okay? Have you or any member of your family ever been diagnosed schizophrenic? Mentally incompetent? 
Alice: My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome. 
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'd call that a big "yes." Are you habitually using drugs, stimulants, alcohol? 
Alice: No! 
Dr. Peter Venkman: Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now? 
Roger Delacourte: [concerned] What does that got to do with it? 
Dr. Peter Venkman: [slowly turns his head to Roger] Back off, man. I'm a scientist. — Ghostbusters 
 
Red: Where you think you're goin', Mr. Wiggles? Get back here! Feisty!  
Dale Denton: Saul, help me! Help me! He's punching my bum! I'm done with this! 
Red: No, you're not. No, you're not! 
Dale Denton: Let's try words! Use words! — Pineapple Express
