Duncan [Phoebe's Husband]: Oh God, I don't know how to tell you this. I'm
straight.
Phoebe: Huuh.
Duncan: Yeah, I know, I.
Phoebe: I, I don't, I don't understand, how can you be straight? I mean,
you're, you're so smart and funny and you throw such great Academy Award
parties.
Duncan: I know, that's what I kept telling myself but you just reach a point
where you can't live a lie anymore.
Phoebe: So how long have you known?
Duncan: Well I guess on some level I always knew I was straight. I though I
was supposed to be something else, you know, I'm an ice dancer, all my
friends are gay, I was just tryin' to fit in.
Phoebe: And um, and there's actually a, a woman?
Duncan: Her name's Debra.
Phoebe: Oh. Well is she, is she the first that you've been with?
Duncan: Well, I've never told you this but, there were one or two times,
back in college, when I'd get really drunk, go to a straight bar and wake up
with a woman next to me. But I, I, I told myself it was the liquor and
e-everyone experiments in college.
Phoebe: Sure.
Duncan: But now I know I don't have a choice about this, I was born
this way.
Phoebe: I, I don't know what to say. I mean, you know, you're married to
someone for six years and you think you know him and then one day says,
'Oh, I'm not gay.'
