Queer as Folk, Season 3

[Michael is threatening to stab himself with one of Ben's needles]

Ben:
Michael, please!

Michael:
Please what? All it would take is a quick jab in the vein and it'd be over in a flash. Hardly feel a thing and then I'd be just like you.

Ben:
I don't want you to be like me!

Michael:
You said you want someone who knows what you're going through. Who wakes up every morning and suddenly remembers 'hey that's right, I've got this thing,' who thinks every time he gets a cold or the flu, 'this is it, this is the end,' who's filled with the resentment and anger 'cause he can never have kids, and who has to shoot himself up with steroids because his lover died, and he's scared shitless he's next and who has to drive away the person he loves and who loves him! Because he doesn't understand! Well, now I will!

Ben:
No, please don't! For gods sake, stop!

Michael:
No, you stop! Stop using this shit! Stop hurting yourself. And stop hurting us.
