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!

Mr. Snoddy : Oh, were they indeed?

Mr. Snoddy : Danny, Sid...

Mr. Snoddy : The rest of you, sit down, sit down. Try to be good.

Mr. Snoddy : Now, on your word of honor, were either of you two cheating just now?

Sidney : No sir.
Mr. Snoddy : Good. Back to class.

Mr. Snoddy : Good, sir!
