- Jim Newton: What's the matter with a couple boys becoming friends and having a little fun after school?
- Louis Baxter Sr.: Well, Louis hasn't time for fun these days. He lost half a term last year through illness. He's got to make that up and I'm counting on him to get to head of his class by vacation.
- Jim Newton: A boy needs some recreation, Mr. Baxter. It's a part of staying healthy and happy.
- Louis Baxter Sr.: Look, Newton, you bring up your boy and I'll bring up mine.
- Jim Newton: Sure, but I think you're making a mighty tough job out of what should be a pleasure.
