Evander: The Bible let you know that it’s wrong and (mumbles mumbles).
Luisa: That’s just the way some people are born.
Evander: Nooooo. It don’t make no difference. If you were born and your leg were turned this way. What do you do? You go to the doctor and get it fixed right, right?
Luisa: It’s not about being fixed. That’s just the way that you are.
Evander: No, no, no… You mean to tell me-
Luisa: I really don’t think we should have this conversation. You don’t understand. I don’t think this is an appropriate conversation to have in this house.

Luisa: You can’t compare. It’s not a choice.
Evander: Yes, it is a choice. Come on. You ain’t gay unless you sleeping with the opposite sex (Ed. note: Yeah, he obviously meant “same sex.”). That’s no way anybody is made. I know what I’m getting ready to say. The only choice you have-
Luisa: People don’t have a choice in their sexuality or they’ll be unhappy.
