Quotes 

• [after Henry was caught hugging a female student]

  Steven Harper : And you felt the appropriate response was to put your arms around her?

  Henry Preston : Yeah.

  Ronnie Cooke : You do realize how this could look, don't you?

  Henry Preston : What, that I hugged a girl who was crying? Um...like I'm a nice guy?

  Ronnie Cooke : You had your arms around a 17-year-old girl, the door was closed, and she was wearing a mini-skirt.

  Henry Preston : Well, I didn't pick out her clothes this morning.

• Ronnie Cooke : I do wonder if you're built to be a teacher.

  Henry Preston : Why?

  Ronnie Cooke : In a nutshell, you're not very good with boundaries, and boundaries are essential in a high school.

  Henry Preston : Why?

  Ronnie Cooke : Because these kids are at such a vulnerable age. I mean, they look like adults, but they're really just children in many ways.

  Henry Preston : Hmm. So, by those standards, I'm being suspended for hugging a child that got hurt and was crying?
