Michael is growing tired of David's paying for everything. It reaches a breaking point when he learns that David is not cashing the checks for his share of the monthly expenses. When his homeroom teacher ignores the bullying and name-calling that Chris and his friends are directing at Justin and another student they think is gay, he curses out the teacher and draws a suspension. Melanie goes to the house to try reconciling with Lindsay, only to find a strange Frenchman living there who won't even let her in to see Gus. Debbie counsels Justin on dealing with homophobia at school. David agrees they will only do things both he and Michael can afford, even if that means canceling the surprise trip to Paris he'd planned for them. Both Melanie and Brian want an explanation from Lindsay, who tells them that Guillaume is a friend and colleague who has moved in to help with expenses and to help take care of Gus. She announces that she and Guillaume are getting married, an arrangement that will keep him in the country and with her and Gus. Ted and Emmett convince Michael he's being selfish for letting his pride get in the way of letting David do the things that make him happy, like the trip to Paris. Mr. Dixon puts a stop to Daphne and Justin's first meeting of the gay-straight student alliance. Michael agrees to go to Paris. Justin is so incensed to see Chris and his friends on Liberty Street that he announces to everyone within earshot that Chris is a homophobe and bully, and then outs him over the hand job he gave him in the equipment room. Brian congratulates Justin on making a real enemy. Add a recap »

- Brian: Okay! So you have this concept. The "Gay-Straight Student Alliance". Let's all live together. Power to the people. Peace. That's boring as shit.
Justin: I could take out an uzi and shoot everyone. That would be exciting.
Brian: Well, at least you'd get their attention. Now, we have to figure out a way to sell it.
Justin: Right. How?
Brian: Same way you sell everything else. Sex.
Justin: Sex?
Brian: You wanna get 'em in the tent, hand out these.
Justin: Condoms?
Brian: You said it was an alliance. What better way for everyone to come together? edit » - Justin: You drink too much coffee.
Brian: This isn't coffee, it's latte.
Justin: Just coffee that costs five bucks. And it still causes high blood pressure, heart attack, poor sexual performance.
Brian: Haven't had any complaints.
Justin: Not to mention insomnia.
Brian: Well, usually when I'm in my bed I'm not asleep anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
Justin: See, fortunately I have youth on my side. I can stay up all night fucking and still score fifteen hundred on my SATs.
Brian: Fifteen hundred?
Justin: Yep.
Brian: Wow, you could get into any school you wanted with a score like that.
Justin: I applied to Dartmouth, Brown...
Brian: You're going out of state?
Justin: Why? Do you give a sh*t?
Brian: It's just the first I've heard of it, that's all.
Justin: You do. You give a sh*t! You give a sh*t! You so care about me! You love me so much!
Brian: Get out!
Justin: Brian Kinney gives a sh*t!
Brian: F*** you. edit » - Ted: Well, everybody knows the French are famous for eclairs, oral sex and rudeness.
Emmett: I once had a date that involved all three. edit » - Debbie: You know, there were people, when they found out that Michael was gay, who said, and did, the cruelest things. Friends, neighbors, family. My own goddamn sister wouldn't even let her kids come over here. She was afraid Michael was going to molest them or something. Because that's the way people are. They're ignorant and they're scared. And there's nothing you can do, except educate 'em or shoot 'em. Me, I joined P-FLAG, cause I figured it was more practical than shooting 'em. edit »
- Emmett: Hey...she's cute.
Melanie: She reminds me of Lindsay with red hair.
Ted: What about her?
Melanie: She reminds me of Lindsay with black hair.
Ted: Don't tell me. He reminds you of Lindsay in drag. edit »
