Hello, Mrs. Schwartz? Yes, I'm fine.
:43:12
Mrs. Schwartz,
do you know what Ralph just said?
:43:17
No.
:43:18
He said...
:43:22
Not that!
:43:24
Yes, that.
:43:25
- Do you know where he heard it?
- Probably from his father.
:43:28
No! He heard it from your son!
:43:31
What?
:43:40
What'd I do, Mom?
:43:42
Why? I didn't do nothing!
:43:49
Another shot of mysterious,
inexorable, official justice.
:43:53
Rinse out and go to bed.
Am I glad you finished your homework!
:43:58
Get right into bed,
and I don't want to see any lights on.
:44:01
You are being punished,
so no comic book reading!
:44:04
I'll come in, and if any lights are on...
:44:06
Don't you give me that look!
You're gonna get it!
:44:31
Three blocks away,
Schwartz was getting his.
:44:35
There has never been a kid
who didn't believe...
:44:38
vaguely but insistently,
that he would be stricken blind...
:44:42
before he reached 21.
And then they'd be sorry.
:44:56
Why, it's Ralph!
:44:59
Well, come on in, Ralph.
Where've you been?
