Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson:
I just want you to know that Melanie feels terrible about what she said.

Brian Kinney:
Do you think I care?

Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson:
Look, it's upsetting for all of us. But at a time like this, we could try showing a little compassion. Especially for Ted. Is there any word?

Brian Kinney:
The machines say he's still alive.

Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson:
Poor guy.

Brian Kinney:
What about us? [Lindsay looks at Brian.] We don't have any beeps, or wires, or little white dots telling us we're alive, so how do we know? I guess we just take each other's word.

Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson:
Maybe we know from what people expect from us. I mean, take Gus. He needs me to feed him, to... change him. Knowing that tells me I'm alive. So for me, right now, it's him.

Brian Kinney:
What about me?

Lindsay 'Linz' Peterson:
Ted needs you now. So maybe that's what tells you you're alive. You'll do the right thing. Whatever it is.

Brian Kinney:
You don't know that.
