Ms. Snart and Joe in “Unfinished Business”

Ms. Snart

(enters the classroom) Good afternoon, everyone. (starts to walk towards the front of the classroom) Let's start with silent reading-- chapters one through eleven. (Joe and the other students open the books but Joe hits politely Kevin) (Kevin gives Joe a whole roll of bubble wrap and Joe starts popping it but Abby is flipping pages from her book then she and the other students turn their head around to the back of classroom to see Joe popping bubble wrap)

Ms. Snart

Who's doing that?

Joe

(raises his hand) It's me, Ms. Snart. (chuckles) (he gets up from his desk while holding the bubble wrap and starts to leave) I'll just send myself to detention.

Ms. Snart

Actually, I was gonna send this to my grandma for for her birthday. (walks to Joe and takes the bubble wrap from him) You just save me a trip from the post office! You may skip homework for the next three days! (pats Joe's chin then walks away) (students murmuring) (Abby gasps and Ms. Snart walks back to the front of the classroom then Joe is sitting at his desk and he looks at Abby but she turns her head to the front of the classroom)

Ms. Snart

You know what, everyone? (tells the students) Joe has made me so happy. I'm gonna give a pop quiz. (students groan) (hands out pop quizzes to students) That sound is the sweet nectar that I thrive on. (Joe is feeling down) (Ms. Snart is rolling the present with bubble wrap)

Joe

(shouts) (Ms. Snart looks at the back of the classroom) Hey, Kevin, what did you get on question number three? (Abby turns around to the back of the classroom) I'd really like you to tell me the answer to that.

Ms. Snart

(walks to the back of the classroom) Eyes on your own paper! (whispers) It's "mitosis." (walks away) (Kevin writes down the answer then Abby shakes her head and rolls her eyes) (Joe is still disappointed because he is unable to get detention)
