Unnecessary Anime face. ---> ^_^ <--- Highly unnecessary.

From 'Boys Beware', an educational movie: "What Jimmy didn't know was that Ralph was sick - a sickness that was not visible like smallpox, but no less dangerous and contagious - a sickness of the mind. You see, Ralph was a homosexual, a person who demands an intimate relationship with members of their own sex."
