Back at school, the boys are talking about Cyril, who has won a scholarship and is a popular student at the school. Cyril asks if they can invite him to dinner, and the boys agree. The boys decide to buy ice cream for Cyril and his friends, and Cyril says he'll buy it for them once he gets back from the train station. He says he wants to make friends with Cyril because Cyril reminds him of a man he knows, and he doesn't want to owe Cyril any money for saving his life.
