most perfect scene in all television

One time when I was in 7th grade, I told everybody at school that I had appendicitis. I wanted someone to worry about me. But, when Beth Brennan asked to see the scar, I didn’t want to get found out so I took mom’s scissors and I made one. It hurt like hell. But, it was worth it because I got seventeen cards and I still keep them in a box underneath my bed twenty-two years later because it proves that someone at some point cared about me. Wanna see the scar?

it's amazing how the writers understand the psyche like this
