- Gerard brings a guy from the church choir.
Gerard: You remember Philip from church?
Philip: Heeeeeeeey!
Gerard: But, did you know he was gay?
Ronny: I had a hunch.
Philip: I'm actually not a practicing homosexual. The church says I can have gay thoughts so long as I don't act on them.
Ronny: How's that going for ya?
Philip (smiling): It's a struggle.- Marjorie's guest is actually straight, but she thought he was gay because he's a nurse.
