Mr. Snoddy:
Captain Lancaster, I thought I made it crystal clear when I appointed you that I will not tolerate any form of corporal punishment in my school! Captain Lancaster:
I was perfectly within my rights. The boys were cheating. Mr. Snoddy:
Oh, were they indeed? [goes from his office to the classroom] Mr. Snoddy:
Danny, Sid... [they come to him] Mr. Snoddy:
The rest of you, sit down, sit down. Try to be good. [shuts the door] Mr. Snoddy:
Now, on your word of honor, were either of you two cheating just now? [Captain Lancaster looks on derisively] Danny:
No sir. Mr. Snoddy:
And you? Sidney:
No sir. Mr. Snoddy:
Good. Back to class. [the boys leave] Mr. Snoddy:
Captain Lancaster, if I catch you using the cane ever again in my school, you'll be out on your ear. Is that understood? [Lancaster refuses to answer] Mr. Snoddy:
Is that understood, sir? Captain Lancaster:
[through his teeth]
Yes, sir. Mr. Snoddy:
Good, sir!
