“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.”
