:20:10
Now, I know that some of you
put Flick up to this.
:20:17
But, he has refused to say who.
:20:22
But those who did it know their blame.
:20:27
And I'm sure the guilt you feel...
:20:30
is far worse than any punishment
you might receive.
:20:38
Now, don't you feel terrible?
:20:42
Don't you feel remorse
for what you have done?
:20:47
That's all I'm going to say
about poor Flick.
:20:53
Adults love to say things like that.
But kids know better.
:20:56
We knew darn well
it was always better not to get caught.
:21:00
Now, boys and girls,
I'm going to give you an assignment.
:21:05
I want you to write...
:21:07
a theme.
:21:12
''What I want for Christmas.''
:21:16
The clouds lifted.
:21:18
And I want it handed in
tomorrow morning...
:21:20
I saw a faint gleam of light
at the other end of...
:21:23
the black cave of doom.
:21:25
I knew that when Miss Shields
read my magnificent, eloquent theme...
:21:30
that she would sympathize
with my plight...
:21:32
and everything would work out, somehow.
:21:51
Boy, did you see how it stuck?
:21:54
- Did it hurt, Flick?
- No. I never felt a thing.
:21:57
It just caught me off-guard.
:21:59
- You sure were bawling.
- I never bawled!
