      Gregory W. Miller: Me? Miller. Gregory Miller. You want me to spell it out for you so you won't forget it?

      Richard Dadier: You don't have to do that. I'll remember, Miller.

      Gregory W. Miller: Sure, chief. You do that.

      Richard Dadier: Or maybe you would like to take a walk down to the principal's office with me right now. Is that what you want?

      Gregory W. Miller: Already told you. Came in to wash up, chief.

      Richard Dadier: All right, then wash up. Just cut out that "chief" routine, understand?

      Gregory W. Miller: Sure, "chief". That's what I been doing all the time. Okay for us to drift now, "chief"?

      Artie West: Yeah, sure.

      Richard Dadier: Say it. And take your hat off in this classroom.

      Artie West: You ever try to fight 35 guys at one time, teach?

      Richard Dadier: [approaches West and West stands up to challenge him] Take your hat off, boy, before I knock it off.
