- You guys ever seen the Freak?

- McLeod? He won't let you see him.

- I saw him.

- Oh, screw you!

I saw him on the ferry!

Why would Hamburger-Head go on the boat?

He travelled below. The Hound from Hell was with him.

His wolf?

The Freak was this close to me.

Why would the Freak go to Boston?

Mafia meeting, probably.

Porno. He writes porno books.

Get outta here!

He gets parcels from porn publishers.

How's a freak gonna write porno?

What would he write about?

I don't know. Maybe his dog!

Wait. Did you hear that?

What?

Listen... What was that?

I'm scared.

Shut up, don't let him see you.

Ow, my finger!

Shut up, man!

- Wait up, guys!

- Come on!

Start the motor! Come on!

Boy, was that close! Jeez! Was that a wolf?

Did you see the Freak up there, man?

He was scared of the wolf. He was pissin' in his pants!

We gotta go back!

I left my books there! Come on! I left my books!

We gotta go back!

Tell the school the dog ate 'em.

What subject was it, Latin? Screw-us you-us!

See ya later, pizza-head!

If he's a cannibal, I'll just tell him I have bone cancer.

'I don't know what to do when he gets that stupid look on his face.'

'What do you see in the ink blot, Charles?'

'What do you think I mean by "passive aggressive"?'

'He's his father's son all right.'

'Eric was my third husband and my one real mistake.'

'That's very funny, Charles. What do you really see?'

'You don't care about anybody but yourself.'

'What do you see in the ink blot, Charles?'

John Wayne.

What are you doing here?

What's wrong with you? You got any idea how long you been here?

S...sorry.

It just went off. It's a funny clock.

Funny "ha-ha", funny strange?

Not sure.

Says you taught at, erm, Barrett Academy.

Is that a good school?

What do you teach?

- What's your name?

- Erm, Chuck. Chuck Norstadt.

Well, Chuck Chuck Norstadt, where do you live?

Just the other side of the harbour.

Then you'd better drink this and go.

Oh, great. Thanks.

Come on, Mickey. Heel.

Mickey really doesn't seem the right name for your dog.

It's like naming Godzilla "Bambi".

You name him after Mickey Metal or Mickey Mouse?

How's your mother's front tyre?

Fine.

It's a bright night. You should be able to find your way home.

Yeah.

You found your way here, didn't you?

Mm-hm.

It's my bike.

Hey, you still do any teaching?

Reason I ask is...

This may sound crazy, but I could really use some help on an exam.

- Why does that sound crazy?

- I don't know,

I just never thought of you as a teacher.

Nobody does. Not that I know anything about you or anything.

It won't take long. It's just to get into this second-rate boarding school

Misunderstood, are we?

I'm just sick of living with three females, all brilliant, and being the family retard.
