Love letter is being read

Love letter:
Tracy, I really, really, need you now. Your "teacher", Dave.

Camera pans out to show hand holding the love letter belongs to Mr. Hendrix, the headmaster. Dave Novotny and Jim McAllister are in the headmaster's office

Walt Hendrix:
I had my share of parents, but Mrs. Flick was the Conniption Queen when she found this while cleaning her daughter's room! Now, I know what Tracy told her mother and I know what Mrs. Flick told me. I have an ethical, moral and legal obligation to hear it from you Dave, so I will ask you this one time: Did you cross the line with this girl?

Dave looks at Jim, who gives a nervous look back to him

Dave Novotny{crying}:
I...uh...she...We are in love!

Novotny residence. Dave is on his knees with his wife, who is rapidly packing a suitcase

Linda Novotny{enraged}:
Your novel? Are you f***ing kidding me? You did it with a child?! In our home!

Dave Novotny:
Linda, please!

Jim McAllister{as narrator}:
After Dave got fired, Linda threw him out of the house. I do not blame Tracy for this one. Dave was more than twice her age. After Dave was unemployed and divorced, he went to live with his family in Kansas City and I lost touch with him. He is actually pretty lucky he is not in prison for what he did.
