Lazy-Eye: What's your real job, sir?
Scout Master Ward: I'm a math teacher.
Lazy-Eye: What grade?
Scout Master Ward: Eighth.
Lazy-Eye: Do you need a PhD for that?
Scout Master Ward: Lazy-Eye, no, but you know what? We're actually in the middle of something here,

in case you didn't notice. One of our scouts is missing and that's a crisis. Anybody else? Redford.
Redford: What if he resists?
Scout Master Ward: Who?
Redford: Shakusky, are we allowed to use force on him?
Scout Master Ward: No, you're not. This is a non-violent rescue operation. Your mission is to

find him, not to hurt him, under any circumstances. Am I making myself understood?
Scout Master Ward: I'm gonna change my answer, in fact. This is real my job. Scout master, Troop 55. I'm a math teacher on the side.
