Larry: Harris. Sheesh. Next time wear a bell.

XANDER: Why so jumpy, Larry?

Larry: Geeks make me nervous.

XANDER: Is that really it or is there something you're hiding?

Larry: I could hide my fist in your face.

XANDER: I know your secret, big guy. I know what you've been doing at night.

Larry: You know, Harris, that nosey little nose of yours is going to get you into trouble someday... Like today.

XANDER: Hurting me isn't gonna make this go away. People are still gonna find out.

Larry: Alright. What do you want? Hush money? Is that what you're after?

XANDER: I don't *want* anything! I just wanna help!

Larry: What, you think you have a cure?

XANDER: No, it's just... I know what you're going through because I've been there. That's why I know you should talk about it.

Larry: Yeah, that's easy for *you* to say. I mean, you're nobody. I've got a reputation here.

XANDER: Larry, please, before someone else gets hurt.

Larry: Look, if this gets out, it's over for me. I mean, forget about playing football. They'll run me outta this town. I mean, come on! How are people going to look at me after they find out I'm gay. Oh, wow. I said it. And it felt... okay. (whispers) I'm gay. I am gay.

XANDER: I heard you the first time.

Larry: I can't believe it. It was almost easy. I never felt I could tell anyone. And then you, you of all people, you bring it outta me.

XANDER: It probably would have slipped out even if I wasn't here.

Larry: No, no, because knowing you went through the same thing, made it easier for me to admit it.

XANDER: The same thing...

Larry: It's ironic. I mean, all those times I beat the crap out of you, it musta been because I recognized something in you that I didn't want to believe about myself.

XANDER: Larry, no, I am not...

Larry: Of course, of course not. Don't worry. I wouldn't do that to you. Your secret's safe with me.
