Quote from Brick in The Test
Mike: Hey, listen, Brick, I wanted to talk to you about this whole getting-put-in-the-trash thing. Brick: Oh, don't worry, Dad. It didn't bother me. Mike: Well, that's the thing, is it should bother you, 'cause Heck men aren't fine with getting put in the trash. Brick: Oh, the bully might be winning right now, but my time will come. [whispers] Time will come. Mike: No, your time is now, Brick. You got to stand up to this guy, and let him know that he can't mess with you. Brick: Actually, I find that most bullies just want to feel heard. They want to feel like they're in control. And eventually, once they think they've won, they'll just walk away.
