If a third party would help, it could work. a)someone teaches Alfie all the words Nick can’t say. b)whenever Nick wants a curse word thrown in he blinks a light and d)Alfie shouts a curse word. Nick would get his vocabulary back and Alfie could ride around in a cool helicopter all day shouting obscenities at everyone.
2. Nick, at the hearing, simply ask if anyone there had not thought about clocking the Knight in the face. After the (non) show of hands, things should come to swifter conclusion.
And no one has pointed out that Nick’s filter has actually selected a totally appropriate word. “Oh crumb” is a UK expression which might be used in place of “oh crap” or “oh $#!7”.
So true in so many ways in life, Alfie. So true.
Alfie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
I am shocked, SHOCKED! to hear that movie being quoted!
so close to a moment, so close…
They barely met, and Hitty dislikes the knight already. Wow.
I’m enjoying Hitty more and more in the cast of characters.
Not necessarily. With Hitty, hitting is a neutral reaction.
Hitty is best character introduced in last year. All other characters are number 2 or lower.
Dislike at first sight.
Nick offering himself as a mentor. Who wuoulda thunk it?

WHY DIDN’T THIS BECOME CANON
Last panel makes me think of the Blackadder version of Pitt the Younger. “Why do nice girls hate me? Why do…”
1. Alfie can be surprisingly wise at times.
2. Nick, at the hearing, simply ask if anyone there had not thought about clocking the Knight in the face. After the (non) show of hands, things should come to swifter conclusion.
“Let he among you who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.”
Mother! Put down that rock!
“Cast that Mutha’!” (Portnoy, from Bloom county)
“Always look on the bright side of life…(whistles)…”

Oh, Hitty. Your simplicity is matched only by your self-awareness.
So RK’s real name is Marvin then?
Which marks the second most amicable exchange Nick has ever had with a teenager.
