4. His Ability To Ruin Your Most Hated Teacher
One of the most memorable scenes from this movie is a meeting between Buck, and Maizy's Assistant Principle, Miss Hoargarth, to talk about his six-year-old niece's lack of attention and dedication to her schoolwork. One thing that stands out immediately about Miss Hoargarth is the mole on her chin, which leads to Buck inadvertently introducing himself as, "Buck Melanoma, Moley Russell's Wart." Good start. Once Buck has stumbled his way through trying not to mention her wart, Miss Hoargarth explains why she is unhappy with Maizy, much to Buck's disgust, leaving him with no alternative but to unleash a devastating verbal attack on her. His final dig at the Assistant Principle before leaving is by far his worst, and most entertaining, flicking a quarter in her direction before ending his tirade of abuse with the line, "Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face!" How many of us have had a teacher that we never had the guts to say this to? Well, Buck's your uncle.
