PRINCIPAL: You three were there.

SILAS: I don't recall--

PRINCIPAL: Don't try and worm out of this, Miss Beauregard. I have ears all over.

PRINCIPAL: You were there, and you saw everything happen. And you're going to fill me in on all the details.

PRINCIPAL: I have to calm down the news ships and Crockercorp representatives first, so wait for me in my office. I'll be right there after I clean up this P.R. nightmare and we can all work out the correct version of the story, do I make myself clear?

PRINCIPAL: Everybody else stay put until I say so.
