Hector:
Now... who goes home? [all the boys gather their things ignoring him] Well, surely I can give somebody a lift. Who's on pillion duty? Dakin?

Dakin:
Not me, sir. I'm going into town.

Hector:
Crowther?

Crowther:
No, I'm off for a run, sir.

Hector:
Akhtar?

Akhtar:
Computer club, sir.

Posner:
I'll come, sir.

Hector:
Oh, no, never mind.

Scripps:
[reluctantly] I'll come, sir.

Hector:
Ah, Scripps.

Scripps:
[to the boys as he grabs a helmet] The things I do for Jesus. [he follows Hector]

Posner:
It's never me.

Lockwood:
You're too young still.

Dakin:
It'll happen. Now that you've achieved puberty.

Lockwood:
If rather late in the day.

Dakin:
Mr. Hector is likely, at some point, to try to put his hand on your knee. This is because Mr. Hector is a homosexual and a sad f***. The drill is to look at the hand and go, "And what does Mr. Hector want?" He has no answer for this, and so, will desist.
