Claude and Mrs. Jenkins in “Unfinished Business”

[off-screen] Mrs. Jenkins?

Yes, Claude?

Since I'm the dentist, I should have a dentist drill. I'm going to bring in my dad's electric drill to use in the play. It goes, "(insert drill imitation noises here)!".

[Claude mimics a dentist drill buzzing. Mrs. Jenkins reminds Claude the first time about the safety/prohibition of power tools. That is, as she --Mrs. Jenkins-- says...!]

We can't have (nor allow) power tools in school. (They are not safe.) But it sounds like you can make drill noises all by yourself (if you are going to do that).

[As a result, power tools --real or toy-- are not allowed in school. So Claude isn't allowed to bring his father's power drill/electric drill or a toy drill if he has any toy tools. This is the first time he is told --by Mrs. Jenkins-- that the answer is "No" to power drills. The answer is "No", even if tools --brought to school-- are toys.]
