Unh!

Aah!

Hah...

No way.

Excuse me. Gotta go.

Out of the way.

- Unh!

- Watch it!

He broke my nose! It hurts!

Hey, slow down!

# Everybody get on your feet #

# You make me nervous

when you're in your seat #

# Take of your shoes

and pat your feet #

# Doin' a dance that can't be beat #

# Barefootin' #

Wait up!

# We're barefootin' #

Where are you going?

# Barefootin' #

# Yeah, we're barefootin' #

- Hey, there's a kid.

- Fore!

- Fore!

- Fore!

- Fore!

- Fore!

Oh, you hit him.

What club'd you use?

Eight iron.

You all right?

Honey, it's only your second day.

This isn't like you.

Why'd you punch this kid?

He was choking me to death,

and I was just trying to get free.

Well, you broke his nose.

Well, they're not gonna let you

ride the bus for three days.

I'll ride my bike.

That's not the point.

I discussed this with your principal...

and we decided you're going

to write this kid a letter of apology.

You gotta be kidding me.

Who's gonna help him read it?

Heh, heh...

You nearly knocked me over yesterday.

Why were you running?

Look, I think it's because

I just broke the nose...

of the meanest kid in school.

Oh, I heard all about it, cowgirl,

but that's not why you ran off, was it?

- Just... let go.

- Tell the truth.

Ow.

You were chasing somebody, weren't you?

You saw him, too?

The kid with no shoes?

Oh, I didn't see anything.

And if you know what's good for you,

neither did you. Got it?

Mornin'. How you doin'?

Now this time,

I got some actual vandalism to report.

All right.

This time they messed

with private property.

There you go.

Each one of them tires is worth 150 bucks.

They slashed my sidewalls.

Yeah, uh...

I don't think these tires were slashed.

I think they were just, uh...

- De-inflated.

- De-inflated?

Yeah, I'll write up a report on it.

Write a report?

- Yes, sir.

- Why don't y'all...

just put on some extra patrols out here.

Now look... l... I'll talk to my captain.

Did they mess with anything else?

There ain't nothin' else out here

to mess with.

You, uh, you check out these toilets yet?

Well, sure,

but they ain't near as comfortable...

as the ones we got in the trailer.

Yeah, l... I meant for vandalism.

You wanna go pokin' your head

in the potty, be my guest.

What are you doin' up there?

Listenin'.

Listenin' to what?

Just step away from the potty, please, sir.

Step away.

Aah!

Ohh! Oof!

Unh...

Oh, come on now,

it don't smell that bad.

Ehh..."Dear Dana...

"I promise not to hit you ever again as long

as you don't bother me on the school bus.

"I think that's a fair arrangement.

"Most sincerely, Roy A. Eberhardt."

So what'd you guys think?

Sincere enough?
