[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.
