250 minutes (5 minutes for each year of age) later..,
Hammond: Now Jack, can you tell me what you did wrong?
Jack: [resignedly and ruefully] I poked Jonas.
Hammond: And what do you need to do about it?
Jack: [reluctantly] Apologize... [hotly] But he poked me back! Twice! And I'm the Colonel!
Hammond: Jaack!...
Jack: Yes, sir. Apologize. I get it. Can I go now?
Hammond: Y- [Jack is gone] -es.
[from around the corner]
Jack: Sorry, Jonas, 'cause Hammond said I should. But you shouldn't 'a poked back! Don't do it again!
Hammond: Jonathan J. O'Neill you come back here!... [two sets of scampering footsteps and two sets of giggles are heard]...Ten, nine, eight... [Hammond peers around the corner, and sees nothing
Utter silence.
Hammond sighs, and returns to his office, muttering: Right. That's it. I'm confiscating the yo-yo for another two weeks!
