Nick Amaro : Hey, Eddie. The coach took a plea. You're spared a trial.
Eddie Thorpe : Yeah.
Nick Amaro : I know you risked a lot, telling us what happened to you. With an NFL draft in your future, it's not something you want getting out there. Now, it's not going to.
Eddie Thorpe : I appreciate that, I do. But, uh, I'm done with football. If they ever found out the truth about me...
Nick Amaro : No one's going to find out, Eddie. No one.
Eddie Thorpe : It's just not about me being assaulted. Man, uh, I am gay. You think college was bad, imagine a pro locker room? I just can't spend another 10 years in the closet. I just can't do it.
Nick Amaro : Okay. I mean, after all you've been through. That's a big sacrifice.
Eddie Thorpe : No, I'm taking the coward's way out. The big sacrifice would've been to go pro and come out. I'm just not ready for that. Neither is the NFL.
