Before/during/after 🎶Bruce🎶 Flashcards
MATILDA: Just then, the acrobats sister stepped forward and produced … a contract
( offstage )
I have paid for the posters, publicity, the catering, the toilet facilities. Where is my profit? A contract is a contract. You will perform on this day or off to prison you both shall go!
MISS HONEY: … You’re going to hug all the air out of me!
Matilda Wormwood! Where is –
MATILDA: Yes, Miss Trunchbull.
Aha! So you admit it do you?
MATILDA: Admit what Miss Trunchbull?
This morning, this foul carbuncle sneaked like a serpent into the kitchen and stole a slice of my private chocolate cake from my tea tray.
MISS HONEY: Miss Trunchbull, Matilda’s been here all morning.
Standing up for the little spitball, are you? Well, this crime took place before school started. Therefore, she is… guilty
MATILDA: I didn’t do anything!
You are a crook and a thief, and I shall crush you!
BRUCE: A huge cloud of chocolatly gas wafted from my mouth and wafted and drifted full into the face of the Trunchbull.
Bruce Bogtrotter…
BRUCE: Yes, Miss
You liked my cake, didn’t you, Bruce?
BRUCE: Yes, Miss Trunchbull, and I’m very sorry, but –
Oh, as long as you enjoyed the cake, that’s the main thing.
BRUCE: It is?
Yes, Bogtrotter, it is,
BRUCE: Oh. Well… I did.
Thank you.
Wonderful. Marvelous. That makes me so happy. It gives me a warm glow in my lower intestine. Oh, Coo–ook!
🎶Bruce begins🎶
What’s the matter, Bogtrotter lost your appetite?
BRUCE: Well, yes. I’m full.
I will tell you when you are full, and I say criminals like you are not full until you have eaten the entire cake!
BRUCE: But –
No buts. Eat!
MISS HONEY: Headmistress, he’ll be sick –
He should have thought about that before he decided to steal my cake!
