Saved by the Bell, Season Two

Kelly:
Zack, we have all our luggage accounted for and the buses are here. Where is Rod?

Zack:
Yeah, that is weird. I will go to Mr. Belding's office. I am sure he will know.

[Zack proceeds to Mr. Belding's office but stops himself when it looks as if the Belding Brothers are arguing]

Mr. Belding:
No, you are not going to leave the students hanging! You talked them into whitewater rafting, and by God, you are going to captain their rafts!

Rod:
Oh come on Richard, you have to agree. This girl Inga, she is a stewardess in town only for this week. You have to see her, she is a 10!

Mr. Belding:
What am I supposed to say to the students? They cannot go on their long-awaited school trip because you are blowing them off to have a fling?

Rod:
Life is short, man.

Mr. Belding:
Get out of my office, and never set foot in Bayside High School again!

[Rod departs headmaster's office; Zack ducks by a row of lockers to avoid his line of sight; Mr. Belding proceeds to the entrance area]

Mr. Belding:
May I have your attention, please? I have some bad news. My brother Rod cannot join you, because he has the flu. [class groans] Hold on, everybody. I do not wanna spoil it for you, and you require a chaperone, so here I am. [class is now cheerful]

Kelly:
But Mr. Belding, you said you are scared to go rafting.

Mr. Belding:
Now is good a time as any for me to overcome it. Let us get going!

[the class proceeds to board buses, as does Mr. Belding, but Zack motions to speak with him in private]

Zack:
Mr. Belding, I saw what really happened in your office. How come you covered up what Rod did?

Mr. Belding:
I am sorry you had to see that. I did not think it was appropriate for me to tell the class of that, besides I know how much you kids looked up to him. Heck, Rod always was the cooler of the Beldings.

Zack:
Maybe so, but we got the better Belding.
