　　reputation at stake--
　　
　　SEAN
　　Hold on!
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　--Ready to falsify documents because
　　you’’ve given him license to walk away
　　from this.
　　
　　SEAN
　　I know what I’’m doing and I know why
　　I’’m here!
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Look Sean， I don’’t care if you have a
　　rapport with the boy-- I don’’t care
　　if you have a few laughs-- even at my
　　expense! But don’’t you dare undermine
　　what I’’m trying to do here.
　　
　　SEAN
　　"Undermine？"
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　He has a gift and with that gift comes
　　responsibility. And you don’’t
　　understand that he’’s at a fragile point--
　　
　　SEAN
　　He is at a fragile point. He’’s got
　　problems--
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　What problems does he have， Sean，
　　that he is better off as a janitor or
　　in jail or hanging around with--
　　
　　SEAN
　　Why do you think he does that， Gerry？
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　He can handle the work， he can handle
　　the pressure and he’’s obviously handled
　　you.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Why is he hiding？ Why is he a janitor？
　　Why doesn’’t he trust anybody？ Because
　　the first thing that happened to him
　　was that he was abandoned by the people
　　who were supposed to love him the most!
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Oh， come on， Sean--
　　
　　SEAN
　　--And why does he hang out with his
　　friends？ Because any one of those
　　kids would come in here and take a bat
　　to your head if he asked them to.
　　It’’s called loyalty!
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Oh， that’’s nice--
　　
　　SEAN
　　--And who do you think he’’s handling？
　　He pushes people away before they have
　　a chance to leave him. And for 20
　　years he’’s been alone because of that.
　　And if you try to push him into this，
　　it’’s going to be the same thing all
　　over again. And I’’m not going to let
　　that happen to him!
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Now don’’t do that. Don’’t you do that!
　　Don’’t infect him with the idea that
　　it’’s okay to quit. That it’’s okay to
　　be a failure， because it’’s not okay!
　　If you’’re angry at me for being
　　successful， for being what you could
　　have been--
　　
　　SEAN
　　--I’’m not angry at you--
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　--Yes you are， Sean. You resent me.
　　And I’’m not going to apologize for any
　　success that I’’ve had.
　　
　　SEAN
　　--I don’’t have any anger at you--
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　Yes you do. You’’re angry at me for
　　doing what you could have done. Ask
　　yourself if you want Will to feel that
　　way for the rest of his life， to feel
　　like a failure.
　　
　　SEAN
　　That’’s it. That’’s why I don’’t come to
　　the goddamn reunions! Becaue I can’’t
　　stand the look in your eye when you
　　see me! You think I’’m a failure! I
　　know who I am. I’’m proud of who I am.
　　And all of you， you think I’’m some
　　kind of pity case!
　　You with your sycophant students
　　following you around. And you Goddamn
　　Medal!
　　
　　LAMBEAU
　　--Is that what this is about， Sean？
　　The Field’’s Medal？ Do you want me to
　　go home and get it for you？ Then will
　　you let the boy--
