"[after his parents have left, thinking he is ill] They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. Its getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, Im probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so Id better make this one count. The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. Its a good non-specific symptom. Im a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh, you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctors office. Thats worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when youre bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. Its a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school."
