Stretch Snodgrass

Oct 9, 2026

5:52
Remember, Stretch? I told you it was urgent.
5:55
Urgent? Oh.
5:56
Oh, yeah.
5:57
Wasn't that the phone bill Mr. Conklin gave Miss Brooks to pay in a hurry?
speaker_9UNKNOWN
10:04
[laughing]
10:05
Well, I just want to tell you I checked up on that phone bill for you.
10:08
You see, I don't want anybody to go around incinerating that I'm undependable.

17:03
What about Peanuts, Miss Brooks? I'll keep him right here in the supply room.
17:07
Oh, look, Miss Brooks, he's scratching his own back.
17:10
Isn't it cute? He smiles while he does it.
speaker_15UNKNOWN
20:33
[laughs]
20:34
Yeah.
20:35
I didn't wanna admit it in front of old man Conk- uh, Mr. Conklin, but I left the supply room for about 10 minutes, and when I got back, the dog had taken a powder.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
11:05
But
11:08
ever since the first test you give me, I knew that I was going to improve and get the kind of marks in English that I've always stroven for.
11:17
Oh, I know I got a lot to learn yet, but since I met you, I feel that you're more than just a teacher, that you understand kids, and that's why I come to you now.
11:27
I ain't much at speeches, so I'll just say it right out, Miss Brooks.
11:32
I'm in love.
11:33
In love? With what? A who? My best friend's girl, Walter Denton.
11:41
People don't talk like this in any language.
12:18
Honest, Miss Brooks? May I swallow a border racer? Now, will you attend the ceremonies tonight and then leave with the rest of the team for Martinsville?
9:39
Tell me, where did you learn to kick like that?
9:42
Oh, it's just natural with me, I guess.
9:44
But if you don't mind, I'd rather not discuss football no more this morning.
9:48
I just got some bad news about my pal Walter Denton.
9:50
He's been cut off the football squad.

15 MINS LATER

24:25
And after all that iodine I used at the border.
24:27
border.But I won't need no transfer now, Mr. Conklin.
24:32
That's what I come over to tell Miss Brooks.
9:17
What's that you're carrying?
9:19
Oh, this is a giant firecracker, Miss Brooks.
9:21
I was going to use it for the rally tonight, but I just got it all wet when I took a drink.
9:25
Got a match, Waller?
9:27
Here.
9:30
Stretch, you're not going to light that monster in school.
9:32
Oh, of course not, Miss Brooks.
9:34
I'm just trying to dry the fuse.
9:29
Didn't Mr. Conklin tell you what to do?
9:31
No, ma'am, not exactly.
9:32
When I got to school this morning, his daughter Harriet handed me a memo from him which just said, go to the supply room and take inventory.
9:44
Well, I'm on a spot, Miss Brooks.
9:45
Why? I can't find no inventory, no
10:41
But Stretch, if you're not too busy at the moment, would you please run down to Mr. Conklin's office and help Walter Denton clean out some old files?
10:48
I'd be glad to help Walter out, Miss Brooks.
10:49
But Mr. Conklin told me to go from here to the biology lab and tell Mr. Boynton to wash all the cages.
5:07
You just used four of them.
5:10
Oh.
5:11
Then what I said was okay, huh? See, I'm sure glad I didn't forget none of my English like I forgot about my animals in biology.
5:20
Gosh, I used to know my animals like I know my A, B...
5:25
My A, B...
5:26
Cs.

14:50
But whatever you do, get that speech pasted together fast.
14:53
Okay, pal.
8:32
Well, what did Mr. Conklin say to you?
8:34
He said, "What's the idea, standing there like a stick?" So I said, "I ain't standing here like no stick." So then he said, "Who's your English teacher, boy?" So right away I said, "Ms.
8:42
Brooks is my English teacher, that's who."
9:11
But Stretch, if you're not too busy at the moment, would you please run down to Mr. Conklin's office and help Walter Denton clean out some old files?
9:17
Oh, I'd be glad to help Walter out, Ms. Brooks, but Mr. Conklin told me to go from here to the biology lab and, and tell Mr. Boynton to wash all the cages in preparatory to painting them.
11:01
Stretch, this is Mr. Brill, principal of Clay City High.
11:05
Hi, sir.
11:06
Hello, son.
11:10
Tell me, where did you learn to kick like that? Oh, it's just natural with me, I guess.
11:14
But if you don't mind, I'd rather not discuss football no more this morning.
11:18
I just got some bad news about my pal Walter Denton.
11:21
He's been cut off the football squad.
12:10
From the picture you were meant for me? Now,
14:29
What subjects did you pass last term?
14:31
All of them, but English.
14:33
Just barely, but I passed them.
14:35
And I can't understand why I didn't pass English.
14:38
I always done my homework very good.

12 MINS LATER

26:55
What plays did Shakespeare write between the two entitled Pericles, Prince of Tyre and Coriolanus?
27:03
Where did everybody go? Would you repeat the question, please? Certainly.
10:32
Striven for?
10:34
Oh, I know I got a lot to learn yet, but since I met you, I feel that you're more than just a teacher, that you understand kids, and that's why I come to you now.
10:43
I ain't much at speeches, so I'll just say it right out, Ms. Brooks.
10:47
I'm in love.

12:41

12:42
What'll I do, Miss Brooks? I just bumped into Harriet accidentally, and she insisted that we sit together.
12:48
I can't fight Walter.
12:49
I'm almost a foot taller than him.
12:51
And besides, I ain't mad.

All right, Stretch, but what's this about the pawn shop? I thought you worked in your father's pet store.
11:47
Oh, Dad and I had a little run-in.
11:49
He said I wasn't worth the money he was giving me, and I said I was.
11:53
What was he giving you? Eighty cents a week.
11:58
Anyway, he said until I could prove I could earn some money someplace else, I was on prohibition.
12:35
Rusty? Stretch, how did you clean these instruments?
12:38
Well, the same way I clean the windows, Miss Brooks.
12:40
Soap and water.
24:39
Let's start again, shall we?
24:41
Mater is short for mater de hotel.
24:44
You know, the head waiter who runs the whole restaurant, usually.
24:47
Boy, to be one of them, you sure got to be elegant.
24:49
Yes, I know.
24:50
You only talk to the cream of society.
24:53
The most cultured, well-bred, best-mannered people in the whole world, boy.

Conklin just arbitrarily dismiss Bronco?
5:57
Exactly.
5:58
He just artabellary canned them.
6:04
Some of the guys in the team are so sore, they're talking about not showing up for practice after school.
6:08
But
10:02
When he doesn't bite you on sight.
10:04
Don't worry about his being too rough on anybody today, Walter.
10:07
I think I softened him up for a while when I done what I done this morning.
10:02
this is Mr. Brill, principal of Clay City High.

24:45
Here,
12:38
they're smarter than some people of whom I'm acquainted with.
12:41
Before I take the catch, Mr. Boynton, I'd like to talk to you about a swap.
12:46
You got a bullfrog in here I'd like to show my dad.
12:48
Oh, you don't mean my pet McDougal? Oh, no, sir.
12:51
I know you wouldn't let Mac out of your sight.
12:53
I mean this big fella over here.
12:55
Hiya, boy.
14:23
You mean the chandelier's loose?
5:05
Please, Stretch, Mr. Conklin isn't interested in what your father puts on his corns.
5:14
I don't mean Blue Jay corn plasters, Miss Brooks.
5:16
I mean real ones.
5:17
They're awful pretty and they could...
5:19
Nope.
5:20
If they ever flew away, my dad would lambaste the living...
5:23
He'd be peeved.
9:24
Now be sure she gets that message immediately.
17:27
Oh,
17:28
I've done that already.
17:29
Stretch, I did that.
17:32
No wonder it looked so neat when I got there.
17:37
I'm just minding this place till Marty gets back.
17:40
Where's Marty? He's out to lunch.
17:43
But I'll take your order, folks.
18:06
Gallopini?
14:59
Judy who?
15:00
Gosh, I didn't even want that part of her name to get out, but it just slipped.
15:04
Look, Miss Brooks, you wouldn't want me to break a promise, would you? Fervently.
15:08
Listen, Stretch, even if you enjoy all this rumbering...
15:11
Don't

23:33
Well, what brings you to this part of town, Stretch?
23:36
I was just walking home when Mr. Boynton drove up alongside the curb in his car and stuck his head out of the window and said, Hi, Stretch, that's the fellow I've been looking for.
23:42
How about hopping in and going for a little ride over to Miss Brooks' place and having a glass of milk or something, if you haven't got anything better to do? I didn't have anything better to do, so I said, Okay, Mr.
9:35
Let's see
9:36
it.
9:36
It's right in this basket.
9:38
See? A rabbit.
9:39
But it's a real one.
9:41
Is he alive? Oh, of course not.
9:43
I brought him over from my father's pet shop.
10:46
See you later.
10:12
All right, Stretch, but what's this about the pawn shop? I thought you worked in your father's pet store.

Well, I'd better get those instruments now.

same way
17:47
Come in.
17:48
It's me, Stretch Snodgrass.
17:50
You've got to help me, Miss Brooks.
17:51
I've got a problem.
17:52
A problem, Stretch? Yeah.
17:53
It's about Harriet Conklin.
17:55
No names, please.
20:53
Well, if it isn't Stretch Snodgrass.
