Coach Pooter:
You're gonna run away, is that it?

Nick:
I'm not running away!

Coach Pooter:
Yes, you are. It's all very well. Seeing an injustice, Nick, that's the easy part. What you do next is the hard part. It defines a man.

Nick:
I can't be happy in that house, coach!

Coach Pooter:
You wanna be happy? That it, ja?

Nick:
Yeah!

Coach Pooter:
[picking up a picture of Nelson Mandela] Do you know who this is?

Nick:
Yeah, of course, but...

Coach Pooter:
He's a happy man. Yeah? Respected. Everybody loves Madiba. He's fair, and peaceful, and friendly. But when he was your age, he was a right angry f***er. Furious, ja? He blew things up, fought and fought and fought against the shit he came up against. He never ran away. They had to lock the bastard away, to try to stop him. And even then, he fought.

Nick:
I don't know what you're saying.

Coach Pooter:
I'm saying I thought you were stronger than someone who runs, Nick.
