History[]

A Christmas Story: Tongue-Tied[]

In the seventh scene in the film, "Tongue-Tied", Schwartz dared Flick to stick his tongue to a frozen pole. Flick did not agree to do such a ridiculous thing initially. He even said that doing that would be dumb. Schwartz threw out different dares like a 'double dare', then a 'double dog dare', and finally a 'triple dog dare'. Flick, under peer pressure, had to agree and stepped up to the pole. Flick hesitated but finally licked the frozen pole. Flick cried because his tongue was now stuck. Schwartz, Ralphie Parker, and the other students ran back inside when the bell rang. Everyone left Flick outside who soon was taken off the pole by the fire department and the police.

A Christmas Story: The Soap Connoisseur[]

In the fifteenth scene of the film, "The Soap Connoisseur", Schwartz got into trouble because Ralphie said he heard a swear word from Schwartz (even though Ralphie knew that he heard it ten times a day from his father). When Mrs. Parker called Schwartz's mother, Schwartz's mother stomped and screamed so loudly that it could be heard from the telephone. Schwartz was then presumably beat by his mother, which could be heard over the phone.

Trivia[]

  • Schwartz lives three blocks away from Ralphie.
  • Since his mother is referred to as "Mrs. Schwartz", Schwartz may be his last name, leaving his given name unknown.
