Kevin Gilmartin Jr.:
They took the water out of the pool because I'm not a good swimmer. I'm bad at sports and, at school, nobody wants me on their team.

Ned Merrill:
Well, it's a lot better that way, you take it from me. At first you think it's the end of the world because you're not on the team. Till you realize...

Kevin Gilmartin Jr.:
Realize what?

Ned Merrill:
You realize that you're free. You're your own man. You don't have to worry about getting to be captain and all that status stuff.

Kevin Gilmartin Jr.:
They'd never elect me captain in a million years.

Ned Merrill:
You're the captain of your soul. That's what counts. Know what I mean?
