A scene from Philadelphia 1993
Lisa Miller

You have a problem with gays, Joe.

Joe Miller

Not especially.

Lisa Miller

Yes, you do. How many gays do you know?

Joe Miller

How many do you know?

Lisa Miller

Lots.

Joe Miller

Like who?

Lisa Miller

Karen Berman, my Aunt Theresa, cousin Tommy who lives in Rochester, Eddie Meyers from the office, Stanley - the guy who's putting in our kitchen cabinets.

Joe Miller

Aunt Theresa's gay? That beautiful, sensuous, voluptuous woman is a lesbian? Since when?

Lisa Miller

Probably since she was born.

Joe Miller

All right. Well, hey, I admit it, okay? I'm prejudiced. I don't like homosexuals. There. You got me.

Lisa Miller

All right.

Joe Miller

I mean, the way these guys do that - thing, don't they get confused? "Oh, I don't know. Is that yours? Is that mine?" You know, I don't want to be in bed with anybody who's stronger than me or who has more hair on their chest than I do. Now, you can call me old-fashioned, you can call me conservative. Just call me a man. Besides, I think you have to be a man to understand how really disgusting that whole idea is anyway.
