Best Quotes


 

Michael Ausiello: This isn’t how our story was supposed to end. But meeting you in the first place was the plot twist I never expected.


 

Michael Ausiello: I remember watching daytime soap operas with my mom. All those sad people in hospitals. I was determined that my story was going to be a happy one. And for a while, it was. I fancied myself as the star of my very own workplace comedy. A little Liz Lemon, and a lot of Will Truman.


 

Michael Ausiello: [referring to the club] I don’t belong here.
Nick: Sure, you do. It’s Jock Night, and you’re a runner.
Michael Ausiello: I’m a jogger. I’m not a runner. Jogging’s not a sport.


 

Michael Ausiello: [referring to Kit] And there you were, like some sweatband-wearing matinee idol.


 

Nick: [referring to Kit] Oh. That guy is definitely into you.
Michael Ausiello: He was with a woman.
Nick: No man in this club has been with a woman in years, if ever.


 

Nina: You are so his type.
Kit Cowan: Okay, she’s had a few too many.
Nina: No, I haven’t. Yes, I have. Yes, I have. But you are still his type. Well, because you’re like a dweeb.
Michael Ausiello: I’m what?
Kit Cowan: Tall. She means tall. You mean tall.
Nina: Yes. A tall dweeb. That is what I meant.


 

Nina: Everybody has a type. My type is very handsome gay men. Which is why I am hopelessly single.
Kit Cowan: It’s truly a tragedy.
Michael Ausiello: Well, for me.
Kit Cowan: I think for maybe both of us.


 

Kit Cowan: You’re a great dancer.
Michael Ausiello: You’re a terrible liar.

Michael Ausiello: [as they’re kissing] I don’t even know your name.
Kit Cowan: It’s Kit.
Michael Ausiello: Wait. Really? You’re Kit? Oh, God. I’m Michael. It’s like Michael and KITT from Knight Rider. It’s that David Hasselhoff show from the ’80s. Ran ninety episodes.
Kit Cowan: So this is kismet, then?
Michael Ausiello: Sure. Except that KITT was a talking car, and the show wasn’t very good.


 

Michael Ausiello: You do own a TV set, right?

Michael Ausiello: Both then.


 

Kit Cowan: [referring to marriage] I mean, it started as the literal selling of chattel. I don’t know if I want to be a part of that ritual.
Michael Ausiello: I think some rituals are kind of sweet. And some rituals are actually very important. What’s chattel?
Kit Cowan: I don’t know. I think it’s like cattle that chats.
Michael Ausiello: Talking cows?

Michael Ausiello: Can I just say that this Diet Coke is the perfect syrup-to-carbonation ratio? This is like Chipotle-level perfect. No one does Diet Coke like Chipotle.


 

Mrs. Ausiello: [to young Michael] What have I always told you? It’s what’s on the inside that counts.


 

Michael Ausiello: You are so confident. I mean, you just ripped off your clothes like you’re a stripper at a bachelorette party, and you look incredible. And I’m an FFK. You don’t know what that is, do you?
Kit Cowan: No. No.
Michael Ausiello: I’m a former fat kid. So I have some body issues. Like I basically shower with clothes on.

Nina: “Basically.” Oh, I like that. That is fascinating.

Michael Ausiello: I’m worried that I’m going to fall in love with you, and you’re going to break my heart. That scares me.
Kit Cowan: I guess we scare each other.
Michael Ausiello: I guess we do.

Kit Cowan: [after coming out to his parents] I didn’t know how to tell you. I didn’t know how you’d react. It’s not an easy thing to talk about.
Bob: I think it’s great, Kit. I think it’s great that you gays, that you guys have each other. And we may not look like it, but we are actually kind of hip, your mother and I. And we were going to go to Woodstock, you know.

Kit Cowan: I’m scared.
Michael Ausiello: I’m scared too.


 

Michael Ausiello: [referring to Kit’s diagnosis] It was beginning to seem like we might dodge a worst-case cancer diagnosis. And as if to seal the deal, our final doctor looked like she stepped straight out of hair and makeup and onto the set of a TV show. A good one. I was in love with her. Until she opened her mouth.

Michael Ausiello: Are you afraid to die?
Kit Cowan: I’m afraid of what the end looks like. But am I afraid of dying? No. I’ve had a great life, Mike. And I want you to be happy too. That includes meeting someone.


 

Michael Ausiello: [to Kit] I’m sorry that I made you carry so much of my baggage for so many years, and making you feel like the bad guy so many times when you didn’t deserve to. I’m sorry I never told you how good your a** looks in your khaki pants. Because it does. And I couldn’t do it because I was afraid if you understood how beautiful you are that you’d leave me. And I’m sorry you’re going through this.


 

Kit Cowan: Welcome to the Stoners Club, Michael Ausiello. We’ve been waiting for you for a long time. And now you know how Cherry Garcia feels.

Michael Ausiello: What if this didn’t have to happen? What if this were just a scene from our story? A scene from the TV show of our life. How amazing would that be? If none of this was real. If I could just go back to being a TV journalist, and you could be an actor on a show.


 

Michael Ausiello: Your character on the show has been very popular, and everyone hates to see you go, so what is next for you?
Kit Cowan: I don’t know. There are a lot of possibilities out there, so. I don’t know what’s next for me, honestly. You know, it’s strange. Everyone will still be here, and I’ll be gone.
Michael Ausiello: And how do you feel right now?
Kit Cowan: Ooh. Great question. I guess I feel like I’ll miss this. I’ll miss this a lot.


 

Michael Ausiello: What about me, Kit? What should I do next?
Kit Cowan: You’ll know.


 

Kit Cowan: You’re going to be okay.
Michael Ausiello: Yeah. I’m going to be okay. It’s going to be incredibly hard, but I’m going to be okay. Thank you for the past thirteen years. Thank you for giving me a family. Thank you for loving me. You can go now.


 

Michael Ausiello: I was always afraid Kit would break my heart. And eventually, he did. But not in the way I feared he would. He broke it open in a way that somehow made room for even more love, both to receive and to give. And so, I hope that you’ll understand me when I say that this ride with Kit was, to me, a gift. It was the greatest honor I believe I will ever have to have been by his side for it all.


 

Marilyn: I think he would’ve liked your eulogy.
Michael Ausiello: I think he would’ve thought it was too long.
Marilyn: Well, probably.


 

Michael Ausiello: The hardest thing about a story ending is that you have to say goodbye to your favorite characters. To your favorite people. A good TV show can make real life seem like it makes sense. And a good ending can feel like the end of one thing and the beginning of another. Sometimes the hero dies. Sometimes we only get fourteen Christmas trees when we thought we’d have forty. And then an old friend reminded me that sometimes the main character has to take a leap of faith that involves packing a suitcase and traveling across the country. I don’t know. Maybe that’s too on the nose.


 

Michael Ausiello: I wanted our story to be a picture-perfect, happy-ending love story. But what we got was a real love story. I’m ready. I’ll just shut up now.
