" Pond Bottom", " my father will pick me up on Saturday".
:03:09
Pepinot
:03:12
But of course.
:03:14
Pepinot! How long has it been?
:03:18
Only 50 years.
:03:23
"Pond Bottom".
:03:27
There you are, the short one in the first row.
:03:30
And this is you.
:03:33
And the prefect, what was his name?
:03:35
Clement Mathieu
:03:37
Clement Mathieu
:03:40
What became of him?
:03:45
Open it.
:03:51
"Pond Bottom" -- year 1949
:03:55
This is the diary kept by Mathieu,
about his days at "Pond Bottom".
:03:59
About his story, and ours too.
:04:03
He wanted you to have it.
:04:05
I'd prefer to give it to you
under happier circumstances but...
:04:13
1949, Jan. 15th.
:04:16
After a few years of failure,
:04:19
I was certain the worst was yet to come.
:04:24
It was a boarding school for difficult children.
:04:28
At least that's what the ad said.
:04:31
"Pond Bottom"
:04:33
The school seemed to be named just for me.
:04:36
Good morning.
:04:40
You are alone?
:04:43
What are you doing here?
:04:45
I'm waiting for Saturday.
:04:48
Why?
:04:50
Because my father will come and fetch me.
:04:52
But today is not Saturday.
:04:56
Pepinot!
:04:58
I'm Clement Mathieu, the new prefect.
