SUMMARY
We meet Michael, Emmett, Ted and Brian in Bablyon for the first time. As the group prepare to leave, Brian spots a young lad outside and decides not to give his friends a lift home but make a move on the lad. A nervous Justin acompanies Brian back to his apartment, where Brian finds out Justins real age, but they are interupted when they get a phone call from the hospital informing Brian that Lindsay is about to give birth to his baby and when he turns up Lindsays partner Melanie is not pleased. But is Brian ready for fatherhood?
QUOTES
Brian: So what do you like to do?
Justin: Do? I don’t know. Watch TV, play Tomb Raider.
Brian: I meant in bed.
Justin: Oh. This is fine.
Brian: Are you a top or a bottom?
Justin: …Top. And bottom.
Brian: Oh you’re versatile then.
Justin: And ambidextrous, which was really confusing at first cause I can never figure out which hand to throw with.
Brian: Do you like to rim?
Justin: Sure. I love it.
Brian: Great. Go to it.
Justin pauses…confused…
Brian: Well?
Justin: Um… What exactly do you mean?
After learning from Melanie’s message that Lindsay gave birth…
Brian: Fuck! I have a baby.
Justin: (in the bathroom) Ouch!
Brian: Two babies.
Brian: Well, here we are. Muh and Puh.
Lindsay starts to get weepy
Brian: Hey…
Lindsay: Don’t mind me. Just feeling a little… vulnerable.
Brian: I promise not to tell.
Lindsay: Who would have thought? You and me, parents?
Brian: It’s pretty scary, boys and girls. Think it’s too late to return it?
Lindsay: We could try… I guess this means we’re finally grown-ups.
Brian: Don’t say that Wendy. We’ll never grow up.
Lindsay: Don’t be scared. Hell if our parents could fuck up so could we.
Brian: I want you to always remember this, so that no matter who you’re ever with, I’ll always be there.
Michael walks into Brian and Justin, kissing…
Michael: Christ! Didn’t you get enough last night?
Brian: There’s no such thing as enough. Besides, couldn’t send him off without a nourishing high-protein breakfast.
Brian sees the offensive graffiti on his Jeep…
Brian: Oh that’s beautiful Mikey. Just beautiful.
Michael: It’s not my fault! I’ve told you about those two psychopaths down the street.
Brian: What? A couple of 12-year-olds?
Michael: They start early these days! (looking at Justin) What are you laughing at?
Justin: Nothing… You. Sound like my parents fighting.
TRIVIA
- Randy Harrison (Justin) would run in place and jump up and down to constantly maintain the exhausted/hyperventilating feeling he needed to perform in his sex scenes.
- Set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this series is actually filmed in Toronto, Canada.
- The Logo channel removed the sex scene (rimming and anal intercourse) between Brian and Justin when showing the pilot episode (9/24/2006 @ 00:30 CDT). This version cuts from Michael watching Schindler’s Fist (a gay POW movie) to Brian and Justin waking up in the morning together and Justin holding Brian.
- In the Queer as Folk UK version, during the first anal intercourse scene, Stuart (US: Brian) relaxes Nathan (US: Justin) by telling him about the footballers entering the field each time he goes in deeper. The US version does not have a similar scene; instead Justin asks Brian if it always hurts. Brian says it’ll hurt a little bit but that’s part of sex, and asks him to relax.
