McGuirk: All right, everybody, quiet down. Who was talking? Melissa?
Melissa: Sorry.
McGuirk: This new kid here is Eddie.
Everybody: Hi, Eddie.
McGuirk: All right, Eddie, take a hike while I explain to everybody what's wrong with you.
Melissa: Coach, is Eddie sick?
McGuirk: Who told you?
Melissa: Nobody, I was-
McGuirk: Don't do my job for me, Melissa, okay?
Melissa: Okay.
McGuirk: All right, now, everybody, Eddie's sick. But he's a good kid. He's like the son I never had. Or I don't know about. Anyway, anyone messing with Eddie messes with me, you got that, Melissa?
Melissa: I'm not gonna mess with Eddie.
McGuirk: Good. Now this is complicated, so just bear with me. Eddie was born with some kind of problem, and he takes medication for it. Any questions?
[a few kids rise their hand]
McGuirk: Good. Look at him out there, so small, so defenseless. He's like a chipmunk, with a disease. Who didn't love that analogy? All right, everybody, here are some of the warning signs that tell you something's wrong with Eddie. What I like to call this part of the speech is, "You know Eddie's sick if, dot dot dot". If he stops breathing, if he vomits blood, and if he ever says, "help". Or if it looks like he's saying "help" but he can't say "help". He's like, mouthing it.
Brendon: Hey, Coach McGuirk, Eddie just fell.
McGuirk: Oh, god. Is he up yet?
Brendon: No.
McGuirk: How about now?
Brendon: I...nope.
McGuirk: Give him a few minutes, Brendon!
Brendon: Hey, don't yell at me, he fell.
McGuirk: This can't happen the first day, Brendon. What's he doing?
Brendon: He's moving.
McGuirk: Is he? All right. Melissa.
