Quote from Mike in True Grit
Brick: I don't get it. One second, I'm walking down the hall with my best friend, and the next second, he's swallowed up by the football team. Mike: Troy's on the football team? Brick: Really? That's your takeaway from this conversation? Mike: Well, I'm just saying... football... a lot of people think that's a big deal. Aren't you happy for him? Brick: No, not at all. Not even a little. Mike: That sounds a little selfish, don't you think? Brick: It's not just about him being popular. I mean, he didn't even show up for Font Club. Mike: That could be for a lot of reasons. Maybe you just got to put in a little more effort, Brick, that's all. And, hey, find out what position they got him playing, 'cause they really need a nose tackle. Although, they could put him somewhere on the O-line. Brick: [sighs] Fine. Write down the sports words, and I'll try and ask.
