- [after Henry was caught hugging a female student]
- Henry Preston: What's the big deal? The kid was crying. Some boy named Tristan or Clayton or whatever, he blew her off and dumped her.
- Steven Harper: And you felt the appropriate response was to put your arms around her?
- Henry Preston: Yeah.
- Ronnie Cooke: You do realize how this could look, don't you?
- Henry Preston: What, that I hugged a girl who was crying? Um...like I'm a nice guy?
- Ronnie Cooke: You had your arms around a 17-year-old girl, the door was closed, and she was wearing a mini-skirt.
- Henry Preston: Well, I didn't pick out her clothes this morning.
- Ronnie Cooke: I do wonder if you're built to be a teacher.
- Henry Preston: Why?
- Ronnie Cooke: In a nutshell, you're not very good with boundaries, and boundaries are essential in a high school.
- Henry Preston: Why?
- Ronnie Cooke: Because these kids are at such a vulnerable age. I mean, they look like adults, but they're really just children in many ways.
- Henry Preston: Hmm. So, by those standards, I'm being suspended for hugging a child that got hurt and was crying?
