      [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.
