This is from the screenplay (which can be found online):
76 INT. XAVIER’S HOUSE -- NIGHT 76
Xavier, with Lily that evening, puts the brochure down, his
tone exasperated.
LILY
So, a fellow was passing these out
on the street and invited us to a
meeting on Tuesday.
XAVIER
The “A.L.A.” -- oh my God.
LILY
I thought it was something related.
XAVIER
You’re kidding.
Lily, small voice, intimidated:
LILY
No.
XAVIER
“The A.L.A.?” “The Anal Love
Association?” What do we have to
do with that?
Lily looks down at the brochure again.
79.XAVIER (CONT’D)
You haven’t understood any of what
we’ve talked about?
LILY
Talked about?...
XAVIER
The A.L.A. has nothing to do with
us. Can’t you see that?
Xavier sighs heavily and walks away, then returns.
XAVIER (CONT’D)
The way we express love has
meaning, it’s in the context of
something beautiful. We’re
following our Creator’s teaching,
aspiring to an ideal -- a beautiful
one that brings an inexpressible
closeness, not just to each other,
but to--
He grabs the brochure.
XAVIER (CONT’D)
For the A.L.A. and those like them,
the love-act is just hedonistic
pleasure-seeking, of a perverted
nature -- there are words for
people like that...! I can’t
believe you’d think we had anything
in common with them. We don’t,
nothing, not an iota.
Lily stares back at him.
