:03:02
I couldn't.
:03:04
And it's because I spent all last night
in the Greenbury General emergency room.
:03:11
See, my mom made
Swedish meatballs for dinner.
It's my dad's favorite.
:03:16
He was so excited, he accidentally
swallowed one whole.
:03:20
It was awful! He started choking.
His faced turned purple.
:03:23
The meatball was bulging out
ofhis neck. We rushed him to the E.R.
:03:27
I kept trying to write my paper
in the waiting room,
but it was too hard.
:03:30
I needed to be by my father's side.
After all, he's the only dad I got.
:03:37
You're lying through your
teeth, you little demon.
:03:39
I wish I were, Phyllis.
Call my dad if you want.
:03:42
His number's 555-0147.
:03:45
I think I will.
:03:48
Are you crazy?.
You're totally gonna get busted.
:03:51
Say "Harry Shepherd's office."
No way. Don't drag me into this.
:03:54
- Come on. Help me out. What am I supposed to do?
- How about write the paper?.
:03:57
- Do it. Do it!
- No. No!
:04:00
Harry Shepherd's office.
One moment please.
:04:03
[ Tired, SickVoice ]
Hello?. Oh, hello. Miss Caldwell.
:04:08
Yes, it's true.
It was terrifying!
:04:12
I started to see the white light.
:04:16
I was just about to cross over
to the other side,
:04:19
when I heard the voice of an angel calling out,
and when I opened my eyes,
:04:24
I saw my sweet, sweet Jason
standing over me.
:04:27
And I said,
"Back off, Grim Reaper.
:04:30
I ain't done living yet."
:04:33
And with every ounce of gas
I had left in my body,
:04:37
I burped that meatball
right across the room.
:04:41
And I owe it all to my son.
:04:43
I'm sorry, Miss Caldwell.
I should stop talking now.
:04:47
My throat is still very sore.
:04:50
Thank you.
:04:52
- [Door Opens ]
-Jason!
:04:56
I am so sorry!.
:04:59
You just take your time
handing in that assignment.
