personal lives, Ashley Q
The royals have such style.
Keep em comin !
Lets go !
Ms. Finster, the kids are practically
mad with last-day-of-school fever !
Ofcourse they are, Randall.
Theyre animals living by pure instinct.
Ive got a list
ofinfractions a mile long:
The Diggers
hit a water main,
- the kindergarteners
are feasting on paste,
- Never mind, Randall.
Hustler Kid is, uh--
Did you say never mind ?
Thats right, Randall. What Ive
got here is bigger, much bigger.
All this year Ive been holding
back on the ice cream, hiding it
from all those little savages.
Just look at it, Randall.
Im counting 1 00, maybe 200 cases ofit.
What areyou going to do
with all those ice creams ?
Sell em back to the district,
ofcourse.
Think ofall the chalk
and erasers we can get.
But, Ms. Finster,
Ive got dirt on everybody.
Well, everybody except
Detweiler and his pals.
Come to think ofit,
I havent seen those guys anywhere.
Ah, forget about em, Randall.
Theres nothing T.J. Detweiler and his
hooligan friends can do to stop me now.
Well, that should do it.
Theres enough here for everyone.
Good. Then its party time.
Kids ofthe playground !
I giveyou ice cream !
Pull !
[ Cheering ]
- Ice cream !
- Choco-pops !
- Fudge bars !
Fudgsicle !

Stop it, I say !
You little monsters

-Just waitll Principal Prickly
finds out about this !
-Attention, students !
- This is Principal Prickly talking.
- Ooh, that was fast.
Some ofyou may have noticed
ice cream on the playground.
I willnotstandforthis. This
ice creamshouldbe eatenimmediately.
Huh ?
[ Cheering ]
In addition, I wantyou all to ignore
Ms. Finster, no matterwhat she says...
about ice cream
or anything else.
- [ Cheering Continues ]
- [ Muttering ] This cant be happening.
Furthermore, I want to inform you
all that I have a fat, saggy butt...
which I like to scratch
every hour on the hour.
Also, I want to apologize
to all ofyou...
for being such a mean principal,
taking away hall passes,
giving guys recess detention,
refusing toacceptsicKnotes
just causeitdoesntlooK
liKeaguysmomssignature,
maKingKidsstandat the wall

Man, I feel ashamed ofmyselffor all
the terrible, rotten things Ive done.
And nextyear,
I promise to--
Why, Principal Prickly, sir,
what a surprise.
Why doyou do this to me, Detweiler ?
Doyou enjoy tormenting me ?
- Doyou hate me ?
- On the contrary, sir, I have
the utmost respect foryou.
Dont be smart with me, boy. All year
long youve been pushing me, testing me.
- I dont know whatyou mean, sir.
- Oh, really ?
How about the timeyou convinced
the F.B.I. I was a Chinese agent
and got me arrested ?
You were giving us a speech on
personal hygiene. You had to be stopped.
How about the time
you forged my signature
and ordered a motorboat for the school ?
It was for the kindergarteners.
Owning a boats always been
kind ofa dream oftheirs.
Ive had enough ofyour pranks.
This time Im really gonna
throw the book atyou.
With all due respect, sir, youd better
get throwing, causeyoure out oftime.
- Huh ?
- Its the last day ofschool, sir.
Ive only got 20 more seconds
offourth grade left. Look.
In some ways, people,
this day is a bummer for me.
But in otherways
its the ultimate high,
because every milestone thatyou kids
pass is another step towards--
- Uh, Miss Grotke ?
- Yes, Spinelli ?
I dont mean
to interrupt, but--
Oh, yes !
Be my guest.
