FM: Tom, what "criminal" things have you done?

Tom: The most criminal thing that ever happened to me was that I was once almost the victim of a murder.

[Looks of dismay from the others]

I broke this kid's table at a party and he took me outside and threw me against a fence and it cut up my arm pretty badly. And then he pulled out a knife and he said, "Fuck this! I'm going inside to get my gun." That was when I soiled myself and I got my friends and ran home. My dad caught me in the sink trying to put a Band-Aid on my arm. And he said, "Son, are you all right?" and I said, "Yea, I just had a bloody nose and a bad dream," except I had urine on my pants and blood coming down my arm. I'm really not that much of a criminal though, but I do know Scott Farber.

FM: Neil, you're injured now. In the movie, the athlete sometimes wishes he were hurt so he wouldn't be under so much pressure to win. Are you enjoying the stress relief or are you anxious to be playing again?

Neil: I'm definitely anxious to be playing again. I'm pretty sick of sitting on the sidelines. I think the game is boring if you aren't playing.

Gautam: What do you play?

Neil: Baseball.

FM: Did you ever feel a lot of pressure from your parents or your teammates?

Neil: More from my teammates than from my parents. And from myself. But I'm pretty laid back.

FM: Emy, can you put your lipstick on like Claire?

Emy: I've never tried. Not that I'd admit to be printed in the paper, anyway.

FM: Neil, did you ever beat up other kids in high school?

Neil: No, I stuck up for kids and got in the way of fights.

FM: Did you have siblings to beat up on?
