dad impressed by son classroom scene
I love the dad in this one. He tells his son that he was not even mad and that it was seriously impressive. The fact that the boy managed to do it for over a week, gave out homework, held a conference, and convinced them to go on a field trip was beyond phenomenal. The part about folding the paper makes a whole lot of sense, and I never realized it before.

Don't be more! You sell encyclopedias? Yeah, it looks like a substitute teacher. No, no, no, it's mine now. It's mine. Take it, take it, take it. I don't want you to just play it. Oh, come on. Here you go. No! No! Oh, you're too slow. You're just too slow. Here, here. Quiet down, people! My name is Mr. Abagnale. That's Abagnale, not Abagnale. Not Abagnale, not Abagnale, but Abagnale. Now, somebody please tell me where you left off in your textbooks. Excuse me, people, if I need to ask again, I'm going to write up the entire class. Take your seats! Chapter 7. Will you please open your textbooks to Chapter 8 and we'll get started? Excuse me, what's your name? Brad.

You tell them not to call me What do they think it easy for a woman my age and all the money that it costs to travel I tell you they don give a damn Mr and Mrs Abagnale this is not a question of your son's attendance. I regret to inform you that for the past week, Frank has been teaching Mrs. Glasser's French class. He what? Your son has been pretending to be a substitute teacher, lecturing the students, giving out homework. Mrs. Glasser has been ill, and there was some confusion with the real sub. Your son held a teacher-parent conference yesterday and was planning a class field trip to a French bread factory in Trenton. Do you see the problem we have? Mrs. Davenport, I have a note to miss fifth and sixth period today. Doctor's appointment. One moment, I'll be right with you. Hey. Yes? You should fold it. What? That note it did's a fake, right? You should fold it. It's a note from my mom. I have a doctor's appointment. Yeah, but there's no crease in the paper. When your mom hands you a note to Miss Skull, the first thing you do is you fold it and you put it in your pocket. If it's real, where's the crease? See you. Thank you.
