Quotes

Denny: Can you imagine all the times I've beaten the rap, to be convicted of public gayness? I'll be forced to unregister as a Republican.
Alan: Republicans would have no problem with you being gay Denny, so long as you continue to prosecute homosexuals.
Denny: I hope you're right. (edit)
(In court)
Alan: So you didn't go into the bathroom looking for sex?
Denny: Oh God no! Oh, I've had sex in bathroom stalls before, sometimes for money. But always, always, with a woman. I'm a heterosexual. And I think being gay is a sin. It's against God, against the President. And it's bad for the troops.
Alan: How could the police officer misinterpret it?
Denny: 'Cause he's an idiot! (edit)
Officer Whistler: He did all the known signals for solicitation. In fact, he was quite methodical about it.
Denny: He's full of crap.
Alan: Denny...
Denny: Well so was I, but I was constipated. (edit)
Alan: ...then I remember what Mark Twain said, You go to heaven for the climate but to hell for the company so (chuckles) no matter what, in the end...
Denny: We'll be together.
Alan: Indeed
Denny: Soul mates in hell, I love it. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Saffron Burrows (Lorraine) speaks in a British accent in a couple of scenes. This is in fact her real accent as the actress is from London. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Before Denny gets arrested he tries to call, Alan on his cellphone when he flips it open like a Star Trek Communicator and it makes the sound of the Communicator. Denny yells Alan's name as he gets wrestled to the floor. (edit)
