Remember in Mask when Rocky Dennis walks through high school on his first day and that guy goes “Why don’t you take off your mask?” and Rocky slams him up against the lockers and goes, “I’LL TAKE OFF MY MASK WHEN YOU TAKE OFF YOUR MASK!” That scene had a profound effect on all of us and it lodged itself so deep in our brains few of us even know it’s there. Case in point, when this reporter is told to take off his mask (at about 1:23) he instinctually replies, “I’ll take off my mask when you take off your mask.” If only Rocky and his misshapen face knew how much he’s still shaping the way we think.
