Principal Jenkins:
You're next, Charles Wallace! [closes the door] Principal Jenkins:
Veronica Kiley's parents are on their way here. They're worried for Their daughter's safety. Meg:
Their daughter is mean! Principal Jenkins:
You hit her in the face! [sits at his desk and pauses] Principal Jenkins:
You - you we're a top student. Top attitude. But, look at you now. You - you're aggressive, you're hostile, you shut everybody out, and then wonder why they don't like you. Meg:
I don't wonder and I don't care! Principal Jenkins:
Hmm. Well, maybe that's your problem! Meg:
I don't have a problem! Principal Jenkins:
You can't keep using your father's disappearance as an excuse to act out. What do you he think he'd say about all this? Seriously? If he walked through that door today, what would happen? Meg:
The world would make sense again! Principal Jenkins:
Listen, all I'm saying is... it's been four years. Odds are, he's not coming back. [Meg gets up from her chair and leaves the office] Principal Jenkins:
I did not excuse you, young lady. Meg! [cut to the Murry house] Mrs. Murry:
I want you to write an apology to Principal Jenkins. [Meg nods her head in fear] Mrs. Murry:
And one to Veronica. Meg:
Mom! She called Charles Wallace crazy! Mrs. Murry:
That's no excuse! [walks away] Meg:
Well, Dad always told me to stand up for what I believe in! Mrs. Murry:
Don't use Dad like that. It's not fair! Meg:
He's not coming back! Is he? Mrs. Murry:
Don't give up hope, Meg-lin!
