Minutes later, Caesar arrives, sits on the desk and falls to the floor. The teacher, Brother Constance Jay Patterson orders all the boys on their knees until the joker comes forward. Dunn then whispers to Caesar that he tried to warn him, but his whisper is caught by Constance. Convinced that Dunn knows the perpetrator, he tries to get the pranksters name out of him by striking Dunns open palms with a wooden paddle. Fed up with Dunns refusal to rat out Rooney, Constance shoves him to the floor and orders him to point the guilty party out. Dunn looks up at Rooney from the floor, who delivers a sly grin at him. Dunn lunges towards Rooney, taking him to the floor and the pair are separated by Constance and the novice friar, Brother Timothy John Heard, who has been observing Constances classroom teaching and discipline methods that day.Both are sent to headmaster Brother Thadeus Donald Sutherland office. During a moment alone, Rooney, impressed by Dunns refusal to snitch on him, attempts to patch things up between them, but Dunn wants nothing to do with him.
