Beta. Can we think about looking at paintings as well?

Delta. About theater?

Gamma. Music?

Kappa. Movies!

Alpha. Fashion shows, heh-heh.

Teacher. Actually...

Delta. I don't think it matters!

Alpha. How is that? A book clearly teaches you. You understand it. However, when you listen to music, you can imagine whatever you want!

Beta. Alpha, what have you learned from Tom Sawyer?

Kappa. How to tease and beat boys in clean clothes, hah-hah.

Delta. How to court girls.

Gamma. To paint fences.

Beta. To take a friend's punishment.

Alpha. See? You guys only look at the dark side of what Tom was doing!

Kappa. Come on, Alpha, we do not.

Alpha. Why do you stress the bad things, then?

Delta. To make you think, Alpha.

Alpha. Make yourself!

Beta. We are trying. Seriously though, I feel like we're not quite on track yet.

Kappa. Interesting. I have always liked Tom Sawyer, from the very moment I got to know him. And I knew, of course, about all these bad things he did, and I've never even thought of criticizing him!

Alpha. You fell in love with him, didn't you?

Kappa. Something like that.

Delta. Yeah, girls love him.

Alpha. I was teasin' Kappa.

Kappa. But I'm serious.

Delta. You're always serious.

Kappa. Stop it, Delta. This is different.

Beta. You know what? I'm kinda surprised. I feel like Tom Sawyer is becoming alive in my mind right now.

Alpha. What is he doing? Knocking at your skull?

Delta. Yeah, Alpha, so that you can learn that from him and repeat after him.

Kappa. Guys, what's came over you today?
