• Mickey Daniels : Have you ever heard anything about a reform school?

  Dickie : Yeah, I've heard about it. What's it like?

  Mickey Daniels : Oh, it's terrible. A great big heavy iron ball around each ankle, and all stoop-shouldered from carrying a great big heavy sledgehammer.

  Stymie : What's the sludgehammer for?

  Mickey Daniels : They use it on the rockpile. They break great big rocks into little bitsy ones.

  Dickie : Well, why don't they run away?

  Mickey Daniels : Oh, they can't. Too many guards. And there's a big river runs all the way around it. And it's just chuck full of crocodiles.

  [he mimes a crocodile's jaws opening and closing] 

  Wheezer : How 'bout Sunday?

  Mickey Daniels : Well, they give 'em a treat on Sunday. They feed 'em spinach instead of bread and water.

  Spanky : How 'bout Christmas?

  Mickey Daniels : Oh, they're swell to 'em on Christmas. Everybody gets a brand new sledgehammer.
