Hey, that's pretty serious.

You three, sit up!

Come on inside.

It's ok, I didn't

call your parents...Yet.

Uh, no, I think you're

making a real mistake.

Oh, and taking a blowtorch

to the couch

in the teacher's lounge?

Was that also, perhaps,

a real mistake?

But, i--

and now you're what, sorry,

maybe depressed a little?

Hey, I am not the enemy.

So why don't you just

I'm new here.

Have you been

of the hall, take a left,

then up the stairs

and turn left.

Thank you.

Man on P.A.:

Warning--get to class!

There's a seat for you.

You just make yourself

And who would like

Alternative
