A LADDER THAT ENDS IN A VAST NEON SIGN THAT STRETCHES ACROSS THE NIGHT SKY. Mrs. Rangoon: PRINCIPAL JINDRAIKE? THESE CAME FROM YOUR REAL-ESTATE AGENT. THE SIGN, MRS. RANGOON. WHAT DOES IT SAY? "SUPERINTENDEN JINDRAIKE." THE SIGN ON MY OFFICE DOOR. THAT'S WHA IT SHOULD SAY. SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER THAN "SUPERINTENDEN KNEBWORTH." IT'S CLASSIER, TOO. WHEN KNEBWORTH SEES WHAT I'VE DONE HERE IN HIS HONOR, THE OLD DINOSAUR IS SURE TO MAKE ME HIS SUCCESSOR. BUT, FIRST THINGS FIRST, MRS. RANGOON. SET UP THE VIDEO BROADCAST MACHINE DEVICE. [SPRAYS] I WANT TO ADDRESS THE ACNE-STRAFED MASSES. OOH--AAH! [CLATTER] OW! CURTIS JUNIOR HIGH HAS A LONG AND FASCINATING HISTORY OF COLORFUL BULLIES. YOU'RE LYING. AM I?
