Quotes
-
Camille : She answered a kind of wordless question in me.
-
Reverend DeBoer : Yes, I think we have been guilty of homophobic cruelty, and, excluded people like you, in the past.
Camille : People like me.
-
Board President : So, we've covered abortion, church and state, predestination, drug abuse, prostitution - ah, yes, homosexuality. How do you approach the homosexuality problem, Camille?
Camille : Well, um, I'm not really sure I'd consider it a problem.
Martin : I like what you said over at Tom's, Camille said that it's important to love the sinner but hate the sin, so that you're allowed to feel the desire but not act on that desire.
Camille : Well, in hetero - in retro-spect, sorry - I've come to think that there's a lot of room for multiciplicity in God's creation.
Reverend DeBoer : You are aware that that is contrary to doctrine in this matter.
Camille : God... God cannot be so cruel as to decree that people like... like that can never, ever be contented. I mean, one's devotions are not entirely chosen.

Petra : Are you ashamed of me? Am I your dirty little secret?
Camille : Petra, I just don't like being laughed at.
Petra : Oh, really? Well, aren't you cute? Hey, good luck sweetheart, because here are some of the kindest people in the world, Camille. If you can't handle a little fun here, what are you going to do when the real mean fuckers of the world start laughing at you? 'Cause they will, you know. They'll be using it against you and they'll be laughing up a storm, Camille.
Camille : Not if you show it with a little dignity.
Petra : Dignity? What could be more dignified than dancing with the person I adore?
-
Camille : Well, don't people like you just have friends, sometimes?
Petra : Yes, 'people like me' do.
Camille : And, why couldn't I be one?
Petra : I'm attracted to you, Camille.
Camille : It's ok, it's ok. We're not animals, we don't always have to act on our attractions.
Petra : What would we do, as friends?
Camille : Have fun.
Petra : Fun - sounds like a buddy movie.
Camille : Yes, exactly. Like Thelma and Louise. But... without the guns.
Petra : Oh, well, no guns, I don't know...
