[Before re-boarding the train back home, Know-It-All gets his ticket back from the Conductor. It reads "Lean", but Know-It-All has his hand covering up a part of the ticket]
Know-It-All : "Lean"? Whatever that means.
The Conductor : "Lean" is spelled with four letters. I believe I punched five.
Know-It-All : Hey, are you saying I don't know how to...?
[Know-It-All looks again and sees the ticket does indeed have five letters - now reading "Learn"]
Know-It-All : [more polite] I'm sorry. It says "learn. " My mistake.
[He boards the train]
The Conductor : Lesson learned.
