Brown, House Master: Just describe the action to me in your own words, put me in the picture.
Colin Smith: Got over the wall of this baker's yard, broke into his office.
Brown, House Master: Hmm, I think you can do a bit better than this, Smith, um, surely your nerves were on edge weren't they, you felt afraid?
Colin Smith: If I felt afraid I wouldn't have broken in, would I?

Brown, House Master: Now when you broke into this, um, what was it...
Colin Smith: Bakery
Brown, House Master: Bakery, yup... what were you thinking about at the time?
Colin Smith: I wasn't thinking about anything, I was too busy breaking in.

Brown, House Master: So, uh, how do you come to be here?
Colin Smith: [puzzled] I got sent, didn't I?
Brown, House Master: [chuckles] Yes, I know you got sent, but why?
Colin Smith: I got caught. Didn't run fast enough!

Brown, House Master: They certainly drive themselves hard on the playing fields.
Ruxton Towers Reformatory governor: They're high-spirited Mr Brown.
Brown, House Master: If they weren't, they wouldn't be here.
