:54:03
With as much dignity as he could muster...
:54:06
the old man gathered up the sad remains...
:54:08
of his shattered major award.
:54:12
Later that night, alone in the backyard...
:54:15
he buried it next to the garage.
:54:17
Now I could never be sure...
:54:19
but I thought that I heard
the sound of taps being played...
:54:23
gently.
:54:25
Know what I'm getting my old man
for Christmas?
:54:27
- What?
- A rose that squirts.
:54:29
People come to smell it, it squirts them.
:54:31
- I'm getting my old man a Flit gun.
- A Flit gun?
:54:38
Stop right there!
:54:39
Ordinarily, if Dill so much as
said "hi" to you, you felt great...
:54:44
warm inside.
But mostly he just hit you in the mouth.
:54:47
I can't now, Grover.
I've gotta go see Miss Shields.
:54:50
Hey, come here! Get over here!
:54:54
Come on, you! Hey, come here!
:54:57
You! Come here!
:54:58
Who, me?
:54:59
- No, your Aunt Tilly.
- Yeah, you. Get over here!
:55:02
I left Flick to certain annihilation.
:55:06
But BB gun mania knows no loyalties.
:55:09
Uncle! Uncle!
:55:16
All right, class.
:55:18
I have your Christmas themes for you.
:55:21
I'm pleased.
:55:23
In general, you did very well.
:55:29
However, I was disappointed
in the margins.
:55:35
This is it.
:55:38
"C+"? No, it can't be.
:55:41
C+?
:55:42
C+!
:55:52
Oh, no!
:55:54
"You'll shoot your eye out"?
:55:58
My mother
must have gotten to Miss Shields.
