Linda HuntQuotes

Miss Schlowski: I want you to answer one more question, and don't lie. What did it feel like to hit that son of a bitch?

Kimble: It felt great.

Assistant to Miss Schlowski: Aren't you gonna break it up?

Miss Schlowski: No, two more days of this, then he'll quit.

Kimble: [furiously; all the kids turn around, clearly startled] SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!! SHUT UP!! Shut up!! Shut up!

Kimble: [desperately] No, don't start this.

Kimble: [overwhelmed] Oh, no...

Kimble: [everyone pauses as Kimble re-enters] ATTENTION! This is your new class mascot.

Boy: What happened to your dog?

Kimble: This is not a dog. This is a ferret.

Girl: What's a ferret?

Kimble: [showing them his ferret in a way] That's a ferret.

Kids: Oh.

Lowell: If he bites you, you get rabies and you die.

Kimble: No, that's not true. He never bites.

Girl: Can I pet him?

Kimble: [one by one, the kids pet Kimble's ferret] Sure, but one at a time, okay?

Miss Schlowski: Good morning, everyone.

Kids: Good morning, Miss Schlowski.

Miss Schlowski: Your teacher, Mrs. Hagley, had to go on an important trip for a few days.

Lisa: Where'd she go?

Miss Schlowski: That doesn't matter.

Lowell: Did she die?

Miss Schlowski: No, Lowell, she went to see someone.

Lowell: Did they die?

Miss Schlowski: No, Lowell.

Lowell: Everyone dies, you know.

Miss Schlowski: [Kimble enters the classroom as all the kids look up at his enormous size while some of the kids are slack-jawed] I know, but not for a long, long time. Now, until Mrs. Hagley comes back, we have someone special to help. This is Mr. Kimble, your new kindergarten teacher. Now, let's everybody say, "Good morning, Mr. Kimble".

Kids: Good morning, Mr. Kimble.

Kimble: Good morning.

Miss Schlowski: [leaves the classroom as Kimble scans the children] They're all yours. I'll be watching you.
