“Maybe it’s because deep inside me I’m still that scrawny kid no one looked at. Now the attention I get it’s overwhelming. Sometimes I don’t know what to do just than standing there trying to figure out something to say that doesn’t make me sound like a dork”

There’s a reason that my father put so much faith in you, you’re the guy he didn’t shut up about, after all. It’s because it doesn’t matter how much braun you get, how strong you are or how muscular you are - you’re still the same guy. You’re not a dork, Cap. You’re the guy from the magazines with a heart of gold. Yes, it’s taken me a small eternity to figure that out, but it’s best if I say it out loud. Speak my mind a little, now that the initial fear and manliness barrier can be broken down a fraction, per say."
