Wishin' and Hopin' Page #5

I knew I was in for it now.

To absolve yourself

of these sins,

You must say

one complete rosary.

The entire thing?

The entire...

thing.

I have a very exciting

announcement to make.

Today we welcome

a nouvel etudiant,

A new student.

She has come all the way

from the soviet union...

Evenija Vladimirovna Kabokova,

Or as she prefers to be called

for short,

Zhenya.

Come in, mademoiselle.

Thank you, sister.

Hello, classmates.

I am very, very, very happy

To meet your acquaintance.

Hello.

Things had most definitely

Gotten more interesting.

Come in.

Does anyone have a question

for our new student?

Yes, Rosalie?

Are you a communist?

To the girl

with a bow in her hair

ooh

Zhenya Kabokova

Had the kind of frenzied smile

usually reserved

For game show hosts

And was the strangest girl

we'd ever met.

Each day before school,

Her father would walk her to the

entrance singing the same song.

And before he'd leave,

He'd finish the ritual by giving

her a kick to the rear end,

Which she'd pretend to be

surprised by

Every single time.

She also had this bizarre,

tangy odor to her,

Which we later found out

Was because she would condition

her hair with mayonnaise,

As apparently did...

Many, many girls

in soviet union.

Then there was the fish.

Day after day,

She'd eat the exact same thing

for lunch.

And I wished in my heart

she could care

Along with

the mayonnaise hair,

She returned to class smelling

like a tuna sandwich.

Given my ring

to the girl with a bow

in her hair

Hey, guys.

Too easy.

Drop it.

Detention, Mr. Flood.

Yes, sister.

Felix Funicello.

Yes, sister?

Mother Filomena wants

to see you in her office.

Come along.

Sit there.

Felix?

Felix.

You may have a seat.

Monsignor Muldoon

has brought you a gift.

Wasn't that nice of him?

How much do you know about the

life of this school's namesake?

Not a lot, monsignor.

Well...

I want you to have this.

And you might find it

very inspirational...

After what

we talked about earlier.

And you might find

that this boy...

could be the perfect...

example...

for you

To emulate.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yes, monsignor.

Oh, yes, monsignor?

Isn't there something else

that you'd like to say, Felix?

Nothing?

Felix.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you, monsignor.

You're welcome, son.

Can I go now?

May I go now,

and yes.

You may.

Read the book.

He's really a very sweet boy.

I thought you handled that well.

You don't know

what he's been doing.

Psst.

Felix.

What do you want?

What'd you have to go

to the office for?

I quickly thought,

"What would make her go

completely ape?"

I'm getting a top secret

big award.

For what?

You writing a book?
