Henry Coleman: Not.

Maddie Coleman: But I do think she has the hots for you.

Luke Snyder: What is wrong with you?
Dr. Reid Oliver: Nothing, I'm just being friendly.
Luke Snyder: Why? You don't do friendly.
Dr. Reid Oliver: There's no reason why we can't get along.
Luke Snyder: Seriously? The world's greatest doctor and "Richie-Rich"?
Dr. Reid Oliver: Yeah. Sorry about that, don't lis-I was just being...
Luke Snyder: What, friendly?
Dr. Reid Oliver: Yeah, right.

Noah Mayer: Zac kissed me.
Luke Snyder: ...What?
Noah Mayer: Zac kissed me, don't worry, it was harmless.
Luke Snyder: [Exasperated] Are you serious?
Noah Mayer: It came out of the blue. It's not going to happen again, he got no encouragement. None!
Luke Snyder: [sighing] Oh, man, I knew he had a thing for you.
Noah Mayer: It was no big deal!
Luke Snyder: No big deal? The last time you saw someone kiss me you punched him in the face!

Luke Snyder: And of course, it's so like you to go about this without even acknowledging what happened the other day.

Dr. Reid Oliver: ...Oh. That.

Luke Snyder: Do you have any idea how childish that sounds?

Dr. Reid Oliver: Hey! Hey, can anybody hear us? There are two people stuck in this elevator! Is anybody out there? I knew this town was cursed. Hey, security!
Luke Snyder: You're really freaking out.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Leave me alone! A little help would be nice, you know?
Luke Snyder: [Amused] Do you have a phobia of elevators?
Dr. Reid Oliver: Oh, don't be ridiculous. I-I just don't want us to be late for that appointment.
Luke Snyder: Well, like you said. The architect works for us, he'll wait.
Dr. Reid Oliver: [Loosening his tie and dabbing at his face] We'd be there by now if you hadn't been going into all your Kumbaya suggestions.
Luke Snyder: Dr. Oliver...?
Dr. Reid Oliver: Just leave me alone.
Luke Snyder: Wow... you are seriously claustrophobic!
Dr. Reid Oliver: No, I-I-I don't, uh, like tight spaces...
Dr. Reid Oliver: And here I thought you were invincible! Are you scared of spiders, too? [laughs]
Dr. Reid Oliver: Okay, wow, wow. Don't worry. I wouldn't dare bug you out I mean... imagine if this entire elevator started shaking... and then, we crashed to the bottom...
Dr. Reid Oliver: Okay, don't. Don't. Don't-!
Luke Snyder: [Talking over Reid] And then, we were crushed by these four walls closing in on us!
Dr. Reid Oliver: Stop! It's not funny!
Luke Snyder: Oh, I think it's hilarious! [Jumps up and down]

Dr. Reid Oliver: [walking out of the bathroom] Oi, Goldilocks. Did you use my toothbrush?
Katie Peretti: No.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Somebody used it, I don't think it was Jacob.
Katie Peretti: What makes you think someone used it?
Dr. Reid Oliver: Because it was in the right slot facing to the right. I always keep it in the left slot facing to the left.
Katie Peretti: ...Why would you do that?
Dr. Reid Oliver: Because I'm a rigid, methodical person and it comforts me?

Dr. Reid Oliver: Hey, listen, I... look, I know the guy did a lot of bad things and probably hurt a lot of people, but Damien... he's still your father.
Luke Snyder: That's nice of you to say.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Yeah. It happens sometimes, as much as I try to prevent it.
Luke Snyder: Well... the truth is I gave him so many chances. When he first found out I was gay he tried to fix me. I forgave him for that!
Dr. Reid Oliver: It must have been tough having your father wanna change you.
Luke Snyder: Well, he finally accepted me, so... I gave him another chance.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Makes you wonder if the first change was real.
Luke Snyder: Yeah... it does. I don't know why I'm talking to you about this.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Well, like I said. Sometimes I'm a good guy in spite of myself.

Luke Snyder: [Damian and Lily have run downstairs half dressed] I really don't know what to say right now.
Damian Grimaldi: Luke, I f-... I found your mother outside, and I brought her home. She was so upset, I couldn't leave her on her own.
Luke Snyder: So you decided to take her clothes off? Mom?
Damian Grimaldi: Go easy on your mother, Luciano.
Luke Snyder: Faith walked in on the two of you in bed, didn't she? That's why she ran out of here! UGH! What is *wrong* with you? With both of you?
Lily Snyder: I should have locked the door...
Luke Snyder: You should have locked the door? Is that what you have to say for yourself?
Lily Snyder: I need to find Faith before something happens.
Luke Snyder: It's too late.
Lily Snyder: No, I can explain! I-I need to make her understand...
Luke Snyder: No, mom, you need to make *me* understand, because right now I don't, and I don't think I ever will! [Lily tries to go past him]
Luke Snyder: Mom! Are you crazy? Faith doesn't want to talk to you right now!
Lily Snyder: No, Luke! I need to make her understand-!
Luke Snyder: No, you need to go and get some clothes on! *I* will handle Faith.
Damian Grimaldi: Luke, I'll go with you.
Luke Snyder: No, Damian, you've done enough.
Damian Grimaldi: Luciano...
Luke Snyder: Damian, get away from me. I need to find my little sister.

Luke Snyder: [Sits across from Noah] Hey! [Notices his large sandwich]
Luke Snyder: Well, I guess your film editing class gives you a pretty big appetite, huh? What, the banana split I made for you wasn't big enough?
Noah Mayer: No, it was great, I just had to miss lunch because I was studying. And that sugar fix was good but no substitute for four different kinds of meat.
Luke Snyder: Well, if I didn't know better I'd say you were sublimating something.
Noah Mayer: Oh, get out, that psych class is going to your head.
Luke Snyder: My professor, Dr. Freudenheim, would say that your increased appetite was due to an acute oral fixation.
Noah Mayer: So, what, are you saying this is... all about sex?
Luke Snyder: [laughs] Oh, no, I didn't say that. *You* said that. Must be on your mind.
Noah Mayer: It is... all the time, actually. How about you?
Luke Snyder: [Later] Okay, well then, what's your fantasy first time? You know, would it be, lit by candlelight with rose petals strewn about the duvet?
Noah Mayer: I don't even know how to *spell* duvet. And as far as rose petals go, you can cut that out of my movie.
Luke Snyder: Okay, okay, so I guess the bearskin rug B&B is out of the picture. Well, what about, um... oh! What about, like, all sweaty and hot in the locker room after like a really rough game of handball?
Noah Mayer: ...Have you been watching porn?
Luke Snyder: At my grandma's house? No!
Noah Mayer: Well, you certainly have an active imagination!
Luke Snyder: That's because I'm a writer! I have to, it's my job!

Luke Snyder: Dr. Oliver, this is Dusty's fiancée, Janet Snyder.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Who?
Luke Snyder: The shooting victim.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Oh, hello.
Janet Ciccone: Please, Dr. Oliver, you have to save Dusty! He's a great man, and he has a lot to live for.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Yeah, okay. I don't care who he is. He could be a concert pianist or a serial killer, I'd still do my job. Excuse me. [Rushes off]
Dr. Reid Oliver: [Janet and Carly are in shock]
Carly Snyder: Uh, some bedside manner!
Luke Snyder: He's like that with everyone. But Dusty is in good hands, I promise. If anyone can save Dusty, it's Dr. Oliver.

Luke Snyder: Finally! I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out that way, it's just that, we didn't know where you were, and...
Dr. Reid Oliver: Even hostages have to eat, Mr. Snyder. I was down in the cafeteria consuming something that called itself 'lunch', but there's nothing like those orange plastic trays to remind you of botulism. [Short, awkward pause. Noah clears his throat]
Luke Snyder: ...Have you gotten a chance to look over Noah's file?
TV Show: As the World Turns
Luke Snyder: When I first came out, it was fine, but I was lonely. I looked at Will and Gwen, and Casey and Maddie, and I thought, "That is something that I'm never gonna have." And not just the attraction, but... I don't know, just... just the feeling of... of walking into a room, and having someone there who's happy to see you. You know? Not having to say everything, spell everything out. But still having someone who knows what you mean. And I think... I think these feelings have a word. And you don't have to say this back, you-you don't have to say this back... but... I love you, Noah. I'm so... in love with you.

Luke Snyder: You forgot, didn't you? We have a meeting with the architect of the new wing today. We have to sign off on the preliminary plans?
Dr. Reid Oliver: Yeah, well, let the architect wear the tie. He's the one who has to impress me.
Luke Snyder: You can't go to a meeting in scrubs.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Okay, fine! I'll change my clothes, I'll head over to the Lakeview and I'll meet the guy.
Luke Snyder: I'm going with you.
Dr. Reid Oliver: [Sarcastic] Oh, of course. I know how concerned you are about the placement of the stereotaxis system. Tell me, do you prefer the gamma knife or the cyber knife?
Luke Snyder: Mmm... I'll let you know?
Dr. Reid Oliver: I can't wait.

Luke Snyder: You may not know who you are, but he doesn't know one thing about you. And what he thinks about you, that doesn't matter. So, you wanna know what you can do for me? You can prove to me that the man who put me in this chair didn't win. That you, and me, are stronger than he ever was. That's what you can do for me.

Luke Snyder: You're messing with me, you're not gay!
Dr. Reid Oliver: You're requiring proof? How would that work exactly?
Luke Snyder: Well, you never mentioned anything. Are you really that deep in the closet?
Dr. Reid Oliver: Mr. Snyder, I've known that I was gay since I was nine years old. I can assure you that in all that time I've never once hidden, apologized for, or been ashamed of who I am.
Luke Snyder: Well that I can believe, but... you never said anything to Noah or me.
Dr. Reid Oliver: Why would I?
Luke Snyder: Because it could have helped!
Dr. Reid Oliver: What, so we could share the secret handshake?
Luke Snyder: It's called relating, Dr. Oliver. You meet someone, you learn things about them. You find what you have in common, and then you get along better.
Dr. Reid Oliver: So you're telling me that if I had told you that I'm a Pisces, yet, ironically, allergic to fish, you and I would have bonded?
Luke Snyder: Maybe.

Noah Mayer: I know this is hard for you to deal with. It's hard for me, too. I spent so many years of my life trying to push these feelings down, deny them, change them. And so have you. So I don't think you should pretend to be so surprised.
Winston Mayer: Well, I sure as hell was surprised to see what I saw today! You led me to believe that you and Maddie were a couple! When did you turn into such a... good liar?
Noah Mayer: I've been lying to myself forever. Trying to convince myself- trying to convince you! It took over my life.
Winston Mayer: So what else in our life was a lie?
Noah Mayer: The idea that there was something wrong with me. That's why you wanted me to join the army, that's why you were so happy that me and Maddie were moving in together.
Winston Mayer: That was not my idea, Noah! And how could you do this to her?
Noah Mayer: That was a mistake. Haven't you ever made a mistake? Dad?
Winston Mayer: Obviously I made a hell of a lot of them with you.
Noah Mayer: It's not your fault I'm gay! It's nobody's fault. And guess what? I'm happy with who I am. Finally! For the first time in my life.
