Catch Me If You Can Page #4

Mr. And Mrs. Abagnale

this is not a question

of your son's attendance.

I regret to inform you that,

for the past week

Frank has been teaching

Mrs. Glasser's French class.

He what?

Your son has been pretending

to be a substitute teacher

lecturing the students,

uh, giving out homework.

Mrs. Glasser has been ill

and there was

some confusion

with the real sub.

Your son held a teacher-parent

conference yesterday

and was planning

a class field trip

to a French bread factory

in Trenton.

Do you see the problem we have?

- Mrs. Davenport?

- Yeah.

Uh, I have a note to miss fifth

and sixth period today.

Doctor's appointment.

- One moment.

I'll be right with you.

Hey...

Yes?

You should fold it.

What?

That note. It's a fake, right?

You should fold it.

It's... It's a note from my mom.

I have a doctor's appointment.

Yeah, but there's no crease

in the paper.

When your mom hands you a note

to miss school

the first thing you do is,

you fold it

and you put it in your pocket.

I mean, if it's real,

where's the crease?

Frankie.

Ma, I'm home.

Oh, you remember

that girl Joanna

I was telling you about?

I asked her out today.

Think we're going to go

to the Junior Prom.

Ma, is this

my driver's license?

That's all there is,

two bedrooms.

Oh, Frankie.

You remember Dad's friend?

Jack Barnes?

From the club.

Hello.

He came by looking

for your father.

I was giving him

a tour of the apartment.

It's very, uh, uh,

spacious, Paula.

Dad's at the store.

so, Frank...

you're getting to look

more like your old man

every day.

Thanks for the sandwich, Paula.

I'll see you later, eh?

Wait.

Is this yours?

Oh.

Well, thanks, Frank.

Uh, that's the President's pin.

I'd be in deep trouble

if I lost that.

I'll see you all later, eh?

Are you hungry, Frankie?

I'll make you a sandwich.

Jack wanted to talk business

with your father.

He thinks we should get a lawyer

and sue the government.

That is not legal,

what they're doing to us.

Why aren't you saying anything?

You're not going to tell him...

are you?

No.

That's right.

There's nothing to tell.

I'm going out for a few hours

to visit some old friends

from the tennis club and...

when I get home,

we'll all have dinner together.

Right?

But you won't say anything

because it's...

it's just silly, isn't it?

How could we sue anybody?

Oh... do you need

some money, Frankie?

A few dollars to buy

some record albums?

Here, take five dollars.

Or-Or ten.

You promised you were going

to quit.

Ma, I'm home!

Hey, hey!

You... You stay away from me,

hear me?

You stay away from me...

I don't know who you are

but if you ever

come back here again...
