BELL RINGS
Settle down, children!
- Bertie? - Here!
- Walter? - Here!
- Rubidium? - Here!
- Dennis? - Here!
- Jemima? - Here.
- Peter? - Here.
Take as long as you like, Paul, I'm still going to beat you.
Oh! You know what, Bertie?
I've had just about all I can take of Mrs Creecher's lax standards!
If we had a competent teacher,
this riffraff would have a one-way ticket to the headmaster's office!
- HE GASPS - A ticket to doom!
Ah, I suppose I'll have to take matters into my own hands.
Mrs Creecher?
I have reason to believe several of your students are breaking rules.
Rubi is using unauthorised hardware,
JJ and Pieface are involved in what I can only describe as games...
- DENNIS PUFFS - Ow!
..whilst Dennis has a concealed canine!
Walter, I hope you're aware you've just broken school rule number 408 -
interrupting the register?
- Catherine? - Yah!
- Henry? - Here!
Mistress Creecher, Dennis is causing much mischief in yon schoolyard.
Odds bodkins! You made me breaketh my quill!
New school rule - no interrupting the register.
See me after class for detention!
My father, the Mayor, will hear about this - in detail!
Stop with the mind games, Paul.
Where's Mrs Creecher?
Yeah. She's never late.
What if something's happened to her?
I'm more worried about THAT.
Hm-hm-hm!
GNASHER SIGHS
Huh?
POUNDING FOOTSTEPS
OMINOUS WHIRRING
THEY ALL GASP
I am Edubot 4000, designed by Wilbur Corp.
Wilbur Corp? That's Walter's dad's company!
No wonder he was looking so smug!
Smug! Smug!
I have also been programmed to identify
all known variances of misbehaviour
and am fitted with sensors able to detect whispering and chewing.
- But I was only... - Questioning authority!
Please proceed to the headmaster's office!
- But...but... - Disruptive pupil protocol! - Whoa!
Oi! ALARM SOUNDS
WALTER SNIGGERS
My brother said the headmaster has a scorpion in a tank
that he uses for punishments.
I never want to go back there!
Well, you'd better get used to it. Edubot is ultra-advanced.
The second you put one tiny toe out of line,
it'll be on you like that mingy mutt on a sausage!
GNASHER MUTTERS
Pah! That metalhead's no match for me!
We'll see, Dennis.
We'll see.
As you can see, the square root of the int...
WALTER CHUCKLES
Threat detected!
Threat detected!
Seriously, my brother says the headmaster has special
mind-control devices for making you behave.
Your brother says a lot.
I don't want to talk about it.
So how's that metalhead shaping up?
- WALTER LAUGHS - That metalhead can...
- We can handle Edubot. - Oh, really?
Because if you think things are bad now, just wait until next lesson.
There's a special surprise for you.
Five minutes remaining to complete your extremely difficult test.
Failure will result in detention for a month.
Huh?
Pieface, wake up!
PIEFACE SNORES
Unauthorised sleeping in class! Detention!
Allotted test period has elapsed.
Pass me your test papers.
That's the only passing Dennis will be doing today. Ha-ha!
Fail! Month's detention!
But I've got training after school! I can't miss that for a month!
Fail! Month's detention!
No! I've got rehearsals for the school play!
HE SOBS
100% correct!
What can I say? I'm a born genius!
Unauthorised use of the test answer sheet!
