The Fugitive (2015)
“Mount’s homeroom, staring at the clock, watching the second hand slowly sweep through its rotation, waiting for the bell that would begin the day. He had arrived early and had tried unsuccessfully to convince Mr. Mount that he should march into Mrs. Gladwell’s office and demand that Theodore Boone be allowed to skip homeroom and hustle on over to the courthouse where the courtroom was undoubtedly already packed. Mr. Mount was of the opinion that they had bothered Mrs. Gladwell enough already. Just cool it, Theo.
The bell finally rang and the class came to order. Aaron raised a hand and said, “I don’t think it’s fair that Theo gets to go watch the trial today and we don’t. What’s the deal?”
Mr. Mount was in no mood to quarrel. “There’s no deal, Aaron,” he said. “Theo will watch the trial today and give us a recap tomorrow in Government. If you don’t like that, then you can write a three-page paper tonight on the presumption of innocence and deliver it tomorrow.”
