A History of Violence Quote
[after having caught the baseball that won the game for his side, Jack is undressing and re-dressing in the locker room. Bobby and his henchmen come up behind him. Jack remains facing his locker booth for the first several exchanges of dialogue]
Bobby Jordan: Guess you think you're hot shit, hunh, Stall?
Jack Stall: What? Uh, no, I don't.
Bobby Jordan: A little hero here, hunh? A little superstar here. The little hero saves the day at the last minute.
Jack Stall: What? Bobby, it's just a game, okay? It's just stupid gym class.
Bobby Jordan: Who're you calling stupid?
Jack Stall: [clears his throat] No, I said gym class was stupid.
Bobby Jordan: [in mocking falsetto] "No, I said gym class was -" Listen to this little faggot! [Jack finally turns to face him and speaks nervously because of the gathering crowd. Whether he is actually scared is up to debate, considering the following lines]
Jack Stall: Yeah, you're right. I'm both little and a faggot. You got me dead to rights.
Bobby Jordan: Come on, chickenshit, let's do this! [He pushes Jack back against the locker booth]
Jack Stall: What would be the point? I mean, you win. You win, you win. You've established your, uh, alpha male standing; uh, you've established my unworthiness; but doing violence to me just seems [clears throat]
Jack Stall: pointless and cruel.
Bobby Jordan: Don't you think! Let's do this, you punk bitch!
Jack Stall: Shouldn't that be "little, punkass, chickenshit, faggot bitch"? [Bobby's friends begin laughing in appreciation of Jack's wit and courage, and Bobby glares at them]
