Quotes
-
Betty Miller : Mr. Lewis? I'm Benji's mother. An apple pie for the teacher.
Mr. Lewis : Mrs. Miller, if you're here about his grades...
Betty Miller : We've tried everything to help him. Spanking, sending him to bed without dinner, locking him in the closet, nothing seems to work.
Mr. Lewis : Well, perhaps repeating the third grade would be the best thing for him.
Betty Miller : Oh, no. That would be awful. You know how cruel children can be. They'll tease him and call him a retard.
Mr. Lewis : Mrs. Miller, I'm not so sure Benji isn't a retard.

Mr. Lewis : Look, all he had to do is work a little harder but he didn't. I'm afraid my mind is made up.
Betty Miller : But...
Mr. Lewis : Good day, Mrs. Miller.
Betty Miller : You know what? You're the retard!
