Quote from Chris in Everybody Hates the Buddy System
Principal Edwards: Have you ever considered the possibility this is your fault? Adult Chris: [v.o.] That's what they said to Rodney King. Chris: My fault? Principal Edwards: He's threatened by you, Chris. Your very presence makes him doubt his ability to succeed. Chris: He always succeeds in punching in the face. Principal Edwards: [chuckles] He's using you as a manifestation of his angst. Subsequently, he's trying to quell his anxiety by conquering you, thereby conquering his fear. Chris: By punching me in the face? Principal Edwards: Exactly. Chris: So you want me to just let him do it? Principal Edwards: Have you thought about trying to see things from his point of view? Chris: So you want me to punch him in the face? Principal Edwards: No.
