"Listen, pal, if i can't play sports, you're going to play them for me,"and i lost part of myself to him then, and a soaring sense of freedom revealed that this must have been my purpose from the first:to become a part of Phineas.
through out the book so far we have seen Gene trying to fulfill this idea of becoming Phineas. at this point Finny basically says to Gene, "you have to play sports for me." this is significant because it resembles Finny's dedication to being the top leader in athletics, and Gene's wanting to be like Finny, and to escape himself.
As we have seen Gene "go to far" before, how do you think he will play out the role of Phineas in the remaining chapters?
