Quotes 

• Mr. Snoddy : Captain Lancaster, I thought I made it crystal clear when I appointed you that I will not tolerate any form of corporal punishment in my school!

  Captain Lancaster : I was perfectly within my rights. The boys were cheating.

  Mr. Snoddy : Oh, were they indeed?

  [goes from his office to the classroom] 

  Mr. Snoddy : Danny, Sid...

  [they come to him] 

  Mr. Snoddy : The rest of you, sit down, sit down. Try to be good.

  [shuts the door] 

  Mr. Snoddy : Now, on your word of honor, were either of you two cheating just now?

  [Captain Lancaster looks on derisively] 

  Danny : No sir.

  Mr. Snoddy : And you?

  Sidney : No sir.

  Mr. Snoddy : Good. Back to class.

  [the boys leave] 

  Mr. Snoddy : Captain Lancaster, if I catch you using the cane ever again in my school, you'll be out on your ear. Is that understood?

  [Lancaster refuses to answer] 

  Mr. Snoddy : Is that understood, sir?

  Captain Lancaster : [through his teeth]  Yes, sir.

  Mr. Snoddy : Good, sir!
