Miss Shields: Now I know that some of you put Flick up to this, but he has refused to say who. But those who did it know their blame, and I'm sure that the guilt you must feel would be far worse than any punishment you might receive. Now, don't you feel terrible? Don't you feel remorse for what you have done? Well, that's all I'm going to say about poor Flick.
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] Adults loved to say things like that but kids knew better. We knew darn well it was always better not to get caught.
Having gone to school in Northern Indiana, I am partial to this particular movie. I have seen eyes lost to BBs, but never one while shooting a BB gun. A more accurate statement should be "you'll shoot other kids' eyes out."

Yes, who can ever forget the "major award" and the Chinese "turkey".
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
I love that scene! Especially when all the boys are sitting there acting like they had nothing to do with it. He he!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
One of our favorites!

ReplyDeleteI never shot my eye out and I really enjoyed my BB gun! I also loved that move, but we didn't see it this year. Joseph Durnal's Blog
