Matilda Jr Lines Flashcards
It’s our destiny (1)
(Gasp) Well? What happened?
…I’ll see you tomorrow (1)
After your first day of school
…Has been cancelled (2)
No!
Cancelled because my wife is… pregnant (2)
So it has a happy ending?
…Or off to prison you both shall go! (2)
No, no! w-what happens next?
Mrs. Phelps, where’s the revenge section? (3)
What? Is there a child at school who’s behaving like a bully?
Not exactly. Do you want to here the next part of the story? (3)
What are we waiting for?
…Before they reach the dynamite and blow your head off! (3)
(Screams, beat)
Sorry, go on
…The escapologist reached out to catch his wife and child– (3)
(Interrupt)
Oh, I can’t look!
No (3)
No?
He grabs her hand and suddenly the flames are covered in foam before they can both be blown to peaces (3)
Hooray! So the story does have a happy ending
The escapologist used just a touch too much foam and suddenly their hands became slippy… And she fell (3)
Did she survive?
And then she died (3)
(Blow nose)
And then… Things got worse (3)
Worse? Oh no, Matilda, they can’t get worse!
…So that the escapologist never suspected a thing (3)
(Jumping up and down)
Let’s call the police!
Mrs. Phelps, It’s… It’s just a story (3)
What?
(Remembers)
Oh, yes, of course
(Beat)
I better go.
…and a new headmistress took over (Final)
And her name was… Mrs. Honey! and it was often said that it was the best school in all the land
Starting line? (1)
Matilda! What a pleasure to see you here in the library again
…I think it’s good for grown-ups to have their own space (1)
Your parents must be proud to have a girl as clever as you. And do you tell them stories like you tell me? Oh, I love your stories, Matilda
(Beat)
Thats a hint, by the way
Starting line? (3)
Matilda, thank god your here. I’m dying for the next part of the story! I haven’t slept a wink
