• Howard : I want to know if by putting me down it makes you all feel like "men". I want to know if writing on my locker is your standard for real guts. I call it cheap and gutless. And if that's the best you have to make yourselves look good then you're welcome to it. Did you really think I'd play the girl's part in a play if I were really trying to hide what you say I am? Why don't you think on that one. And even if you could make something of it, what about you? I notice you guys out on the football field when you win a game, all over each other, hugging and kissing. Suppose people picked up on that and made something of it. What would you say? Oh, that's different. That's sport. Well it's no good. It's what anyone wants to make of it. I'm not so sure what a man is, but I do know what he isn't. And that's you.
