[Ted's trying to get Brian to talk about losing both Michael and Justin]

Ted:
You can't fool me. You gotta free yourself of this burden. Release it. Let it all hang out.

Brian:
My mother was a frigid b*tch. My father was an abusive drunk. They had a hateful marriage, which is probably why I am unwilling or unable to form a committed long-term relationship of my own. The fact that I drink like a fish, abuse drugs, and have more or less redefined promiscuity doesn't help, much. As a result, I've lost the two people in my life that mean most to me.
