Quote from Niles in The Crucible

Niles: Remember that day in junior high school when somebody took all my clothes while I was in the shower right after gym class? They hung them from the goalpost on the football field. I had no choice but to get a ladder and climb up there wearing nothing but a towel, wet and shivering. Then the towel fell off. There I was, your little brother, hanging naked from a goalpost, and everyone was standing around laughing. And all Coach Medwick would do was stand there going [raises arms]. Whatever that means.
Frasier: Niles, why are you telling me this?
Niles: Because I was so humiliated. I went home, I cried my eyes out. I swore I would get even. I was just about to put sugar into Coach Medwick's gas tank, and you stopped me. Remember what you said? You said, "If you act like a barbarian, you will become a barbarian."
Frasier: I said that?
Niles: Actually, you were more verbose at the time. I had to listen, you were sitting on my chest.
