Sergeant Lunk reporting to headquarters. Cell number one - the boy's not in it!

Dr. Terwilliker:
The boy's not in it? Well search for him, find him!

Your son! And you said he could be trusted! Tonight of all nights, Mrs. Collins, the very night before my institute opens, and your son dares to flaunt my authority! So, he doesn't like the neat, clean comfortable cell which I've given him, eh? Very well! From now on, he doesn't have to sleep there! From now on, Mrs. Collins, your boy sleeps in the DUNGEONS!
