Quote from Mike in Hecking Order
Brick: Well, I took your guys' advice and talked to Mr. Wilkerson, and he said I don't have to take gym anymore. When everyone else goes, I get to sit in the classroom and read. Mike: What?! What kind of a male teacher lets a kid skip gym? Seriously, does this guy wear sandals? I'm telling you, Frankie, any money, this guy wears sandals. Brick: He was surprisingly receptive. Mike: Yeah, but, Brick, they're all going to gym, you're not... What are the other kids gonna say? Brick: I don't know. But I'll tell you what they won't be saying "Hey, there goes Brick. Let's get him."
