CONSTABLE

Thank you, Professor.

TOMMY

Jeazle Petes, lemme go.

MAYOR SHINN

You watch your frazalogy. And stay away from my oldest girl. Hill, I’ll talk to you Monday morning about this band thing.

(aside to CONSTABLE)

I want that spellbinder’s credentials.

(MAYOR SHINN exits.)

HAROLD

Constable. I’ll be responsible for the boy.

Oh, young lady. What’s your name?

ZANEETA

Zaneeta. I don’t have any idea you was beckoning me. Ye Gads.

HAROLD

Tommy, this is Zaneeta. Escort the young lady home – by way of the candy kitchen.

(HAROLD slyly passes TOMMY a few coins.)

TOMMY
