Cole Sear
I walk this way to school with Tommy Tammisimo.
Malcolm Crowe
He your best buddy?
Cole Sear
He hates me.
Malcolm Crowe
Do you hate him?
Cole Sear
No.
Malcolm Crowe
Did your mom set that up?
Cole Sear
Yes.
Malcolm Crowe
Do you ever talk to your mom about how things are with Tommy?
Cole Sear
I don't tell her things.
Malcolm Crowe
Why not?
Cole Sear
Because she doesn't look at me like everybody else, and I don't want her to. I don't want her to know.
Malcolm Crowe
Know what?
Cole Sear
That I'm a freak.
Malcolm Crowe
Hey... you are not a freak. Okay? Don't you believe anybody that tries to convince you of that. That's bullshit! You don't have to go through your life believing that. Okay?
Cole Sear
You said the "s" word.
Malcolm Crowe
Yeah... I know. Sorry.
