School Principal
Is Dexter ill today?
Francine Fishpaw
Why, no, Mr. Kirk. Dexter's in school.
School Principal
I'm afraid he's not, Mrs. Fishpaw. Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand, and the Baltimore County School Board have decided to expel Dexter from the entire public school system.
Francine Fishpaw
Why Mr. Kirk - I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy - but surely expulsion is not the answer?
School Principal
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer. It is the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane...
