I’ve made up my mind,” he said. “Don’t try to talk me out of this decision by telling me stuff like I’m basically the heart and soul of this school, and things would completely fall apart around here without me.” “Uh. But Coach, you’re the heart and soul of this school and things would completely fall apart around here without you,” I said.”
