Before 🎶Revolting Children 🎶 Flashcards
MISS HONEY: Yes.😞
This class is going to have a very special spelling test. Any child who gets one single answer wrong, shall… go… to… chokey!
What are you looking at?
ERICA: Newt. N-E-W-T. Newt.
What?
ERICA: Miss Honey’s taught us. She’s very good at teaching.
Nonsense!
You! Stand up, turn around, and spell the one thing that you all are… revolting!
HORTENSIA: Revolting. R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G. Revolting.
You’re cheating!
MISS HONEY: I’ve taught them, that’s all. With kindness and patience and respect.
How dare you bring those words into my classroom, madam? You know nothing of teaching, and I shall prove it.
You! Spell Amchellakamanialseptricolistimosis.
MISS HONEY: But that’s not a word, you just made it up!
Spell. Or go to chokey. And I should warn you; it has silent letters…
LAVENDER: A-M-C-H-E-L-L-A…
Oh dear. Oh, deary, deary, dear-
LAVENDER: K?
I’m so sorry. It was a silent Z. You’re. Going. To. Chokey!
NIGEL: … You have to put me in chokey too.
WHAT!
AMANDA: Table; X-A-B-F-Y. And me.
What are you doing? What’s going on? Stop this!
ALL: Revolting! P-X-Q-Q-Q-A-S-T-1-2-3-4-8-9-X! Revolting!
“You have to put me in chokey, too.” “You can’t put us all in chokey, Miss” Come now maggots. Did you think I hadn’t thought of that? I’ve got chokeys for each and every one of you!
AMANDA: Agatha, this is magnus.
No! It can’t be!
ALL KIDS:… Like you got me!
No!!
MISS HONEY: You.
You! Stand up and spell, let’s see, spell newt
