The answer, do you have to?

Everyone has this or that fault more or less, and as far as I am concerned, I really don't want to let others see these different things about me. Especially as a child.

For example, a fat child is very reluctant to be called fat, and if others say too much, he will feel inferior, although in fact it is nothing for a child to be fat. Adults are obviously more mature in this regard.

We all want to be a normal person, but what is a normal person? If everyone is the same, are we still ourselves?

Hehe, in fact, the place where we are different from others should be the place where we deserve to be praised and make us cute :)

Thumbsucker quotes

  • [Justin calls Mr. Geary in the next room so that Geary can buy him and the female debaters beer while staying in a hotel room]

    Mr. Geary: [Mr. Geary on the phone] Are you trying to put me in a position to buy alcohol for minors?

    Justin Cobb: People do it all the time.

    Mr. Geary: Yes, I can understand you guys wanna unwind a little. You've worked hard, and you'd like to enjoy yourselves, but, uh, I am a teacher.

    Justin Cobb: We think of you more as a peer. A friend.

    Mr. Geary: That's the line you're gonna use? Well, I hope your head's better tomorrow. Don't keep me on the phone. You're gonna talk yourself out of a six-pack.

    Mr. Geary: [Mr. Geary minutes later shows up to the students hotel room with alcohol] I thought about it. I don't think it's a good idea. You guys should be doing your impromptus and getting ready for the meet.

    Justin Cobb: What?

    Mr. Geary: [Geary hands him over a bag of beer] Here's your six-pack.

    Justin Cobb: [laughs] That's really messed up.

    Mr. Geary: One of these is going to go a long way with the pills you're on, so go slow. Okay?

    Justin Cobb: I understand.

    Mr. Geary: Have fun and stay here. All right.

    Justin Cobb: Thank you.

    [closing the door]

    Justin Cobb: [All of the debaters cheer their beers screaming their debate salute, line'em up and knock'em down!]

  • [Justin and Mr. Geary driving home from a debate]

    Mr. Geary: How do you feel?

    Justin Cobb: Tired. But good.

    Mr. Geary: Why do you feel good?

    Justin Cobb: 'Cause I'm winning.

    Mr. Geary: How about learning.

    Justin Cobb: I'm learning how to win.

    Justin Cobb: You're so hungry, Justin. I never really took that into account.
