1:03:01
He got three blue stars
in deportment...
1:03:03
and three gold stars
in penmanship.
1:03:05
How else would
you describe him?
1:03:07
He was painfully thin
and very keyed up.
1:03:09
Would you elaborate on that
phrase, "keyed up"?
1:03:13
Well, let's see.
1:03:16
Well, for one thing, he never ate
the crusts on his sandwiches at lunch.
1:03:19
I object. I move that that statement
be stricken from the record.
1:03:23
A lot of people trim
the crust on their bread.
1:03:26
Young man,
he didn't trim them.
1:03:28
He ate the inside out
and left the crust.
1:03:33
Overruled.
1:03:35
And more specifically,
Miss Tremaine,
1:03:38
how else did he behave,
being keyed up, I mean?
1:03:41
His shoes
fell off a lot.
1:03:43
But I suppose that could be because
he was so thin and ran so much.
1:03:47
- Was he a talkative boy?
- Well, when he had a good story to tell.
1:03:51
And Luther made up
some beauties.
1:03:54
What kind of stories, Miss
Tremaine? Oh, wild things.
1:03:57
Can you recall any
of them specifically?
1:04:00
Well, I remember
he told all the boys...
1:04:02
that he found a real skeleton
in MacQueen's barn.
1:04:05
Of a squirrel! A squirrel!
I never said a person skeleton!
1:04:10
Now you just quiet down, Luther, or
I'm gonna have to cite you for contempt.
1:04:14
They were my brother's shoes. That's
why they fell off. Atta boy, Luther.!
1:04:22
Quiet down now, folks.
1:04:24
Do you recall any other of Mr. Heggs'
imaginative ramblings, Miss Tremaine?
1:04:29
Oh, lots of things.
He told MaryJane Panucci...
1:04:32
that the filling
in his eyetooth...
1:04:34
was a shortwave radio...
1:04:36
and he used to get messages
from Admiral Byrd.
1:04:44
I only wanted her to like me.
Go on, Miss Tremaine.
1:04:47
Well,
I remember...
1:04:49
I once asked my students to
write a theme called, "My father."
1:04:52
And Luther wrote that his father
was really the Prince of Wales,
1:04:56
but that there was
a mix-up at the hospital.
