"well then you know how hairy he is, right? well, when they pulled the tape off, most of his hair came off, and some skin too. and the bizarre thing is, i did it for my old man. i tortured this poor kid, because i wanted him to think that i was cool. he's always going off about, when he was in school... and all the wild things he used to do. i got the feeling that he was disappointed that i never cut loose
on anyone." andrew explains."so, i'm sitting in the locker room, and i'm taping up my knee. and larry's undressing a couple lockers down from me. yeah...he's kinda skinny, weak you could say. and i started thinking about my father, and his attitude about weakness. and the next thing i knew, i jumped on top of him and started wailing on him. my friends..., they just laughed and cheered me on."
"and afterwards, when i was sittin' in vernon's office, all i could think about was larry's father. and larry havin' to go home and explain what happened to him, and the humiliation—the fucking humiliation—he must of felt. it must of been unreal." andrew starts to cry.
"i mean, how do you apologize for something like that? there's no way. it's all because of me and my old man. i FUCKING hate him! he's like this mindless machine that i can't even relate to anymore."
"andrew, you've got to be number one! i won't tolerate any losers in this family...your intensity is for shit! win. win! WIN!!!"
"you son of a bitch!" the boy yells to his father, still crying. "you know, sometimes, i wish my knee would give out, then i wouldn't have to wrestle anymore. and he could forget all about me."
"i think your old man, and my old man should get together and go bowling." bender speaks, and andrew laughs briefly.
