听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 Back 2 School - 6

Look, Harley, I will make this short and sweet. Everyone knows you are a tough guy, a vicious guy, but that's all they know, if, if you made friends with a 7th grader, and just, you know, looked out for him all year, everyone would like you even more.

What's your name, kitten?

Cory Matthews.

Nah, that's a poofy name. If you are gonna hang with me, you've gotta have a name that inspires fear and respect. Let me look at you. I got it. From now on, you are Johnny Baboon¹.

Cool.

The bell rang, gentlemen, several minutes ago. What are you doing in the hall? Shouldn't be in the hall. What's your name?

Johnny Baboon.

You are making fun of me? Nobody makes fun of Marion Stimplemon.

Marion.

To the principal's office, both of you.

What did I do, Marion?

You're with him, Keiner, you should learn to pick your friends better.

Ok, we will see the principal in alphabetical² order. Ok, you first, Baboon.

I only wanted this to be light. I'm Johnny Baboon, unless my life can get any worse.

Wrong again. Mr. Baboon.

Mr. Feeny?!

The legend continues.

Wait, you're the principal here?

Acting³ principal.

Oh, so that, so that means you are only temporary, right? I mean, you don't have the full authority to authorize⁴, let's say, detention⁵ or caning⁶?

Oh, the school board in its infinite wisdom has seen fit to give me full authority. Now, then Mr. Stimplemon, what exactly did Mr. Mathews do?

Got on my nerves.

I can't imagine. Well, Mr. Matthews, why don't we treat this little rendezvous⁷ as a dress rehearsal⁸ for the many visits we undoubtedly⁹ have this year?

Huh?

Get out of my face.

Oh sure... sure, my next class is American History with Mr. Fee, Mr. Fee... Fee...

You're late.
