Teddy : There's a... scale I know you're all rating me on, and now you've got me rating myself on it too. A scale for belonging. I'm... living based on where I stand on this fake fucking scale because I'm obsessed with the lot of ya. I'm terrified of each of ya. I'm in agony that I don't size up to any of ya because you're all the standard of the kind of man I got to appear to be.

Teddy : Caught ya.
Arthur : I, um, I caught you. Following me.
Teddy : Following her. That bunny lives to hop.
Arthur : [chuckles nervously] Yeah. She thinks she's the bug dick solving some kind of great whatsit.
Teddy : Yeah, white hot thrills. Well, I don't got her keys, though I do have her man.
[grabs Arthur by his shirt, pulls him closer to him]
Arthur : Um, what y'all did to that girl was deranged.
Teddy : What's "dee-ranged"?
Arthur : It's, it's like whacko.
Teddy : Like unzipped. Say, wanna lose control?
[he unbuckles Arthur's belt]
Arthur : I'm, I'm, um, I'm, I'm not in control.
Teddy : You know, there's playing it cool
[slips his hand into Arthur's pants]
Teddy : and then there's just... being... cool.
Arthur : Yeah. Um, I, I play the clarinet.
Teddy : Play me. Play with me. See how I wail.
Arthur : Who made you? Angel... or devil?
Teddy : You gotta draw a line.
[strokes Arthur's face]
Teddy : So you know where the line is... when you cross it. You ever crossed it Bean? Maybe with one of those boys in your band?
Arthur : [eyes closed] No, um... I never gave them a second thought.
Teddy : [whispering] You ever given them a first thought?
Arthur : [eyes widening] Teddy, angel, you don't have to be a killer.
Teddy : At least I'm not an artist stiff.
Arthur : I am stiff.
Teddy : [smiling] You could be my favorite.
Arthur : 'Favorite,' favorite?
[takes Teddy's hat off of his head, put it on himself as they embrace]
