Quotes 

• 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.

• Winston Mayer : Noah, he has you under some kind of spell but it's not too late! You don't have to end up like this! I won't let him destroy you-!

  Luke Snyder : [Getting up from his wheelchair]  That is the opposite of what I'm doing! I love your son! And we're together! And we are not afraid to let the world see that! You talk about what's right? This is right! Me and Noah, together, and you locked up in a prison where you belong!
