Mr Wormwood: Yes, sir. That’s right, sir. One hundred and fifty-five brand new luxury cars, sir. (screams noticing Matilda reading a book)
Aaaaaa! Harry!
SCENE 1
Mr Wormwood: Hang on-
Look at this, she’s reading a book. That’s not normal for a five year old. I think she might be an idiot.
SCENE 1
Matilda: I’m a girl.
And she keeps trying to tell me stories, Harry. I mean it’s not normal for a girl to be all thinking…
SCENE 1
Mr Wormwood: I’m going to have to call you straight back. I’m trying to pull off the biggest business deal of my life and I have to listen to this?
What about me? I’ve got a whole house to look after, dinners don’t microwave themselves you know! I am off to bleach my roots and I shan’t be talking to you for the rest of the evening.
SCENE 1
Mr Wormwood: But i’m going to make us rich!
How rich?
SCENE 1
Michael: Mi-chel
Well, I shall take the money when you earn it. ANd I shall spend it. But I shan’t enjoy it because of the dispicable way in which you have spoken to me tonight.
SCENE 2 (after Naughty)
Mr Wormwood: In business, son, a man’s har is his greatest asset. Good hair means a good brain. (Matilda and Mrs Wormwood enter)
Your… hair! It’s… It’s… green!
SCENE 2 (after Naughty)
Mr Wormwood: My hair’s green!
Why on earth did you do that?
SCENE 2 (after Naughty)
Matilda: Maybe you used some of mummy’s peroxide by mistake?
That’s exactly what you’ve done, you stupid man!
SCENE 2 (after Naughty)
Matilda: Mum, would you like to hear a story?
Don’t be disgusting! The sooner you’re locked up in school the better.
Scene 5
Mr Wormwood: Stupid, nasty, question-asking Russians!
Oh, don’t tell me we’re not rich…
Scene 5
Matilda: No! Its a library book!
You showed the little brat. Oh! I’m late for my dance lesson with Rudolpho!
Scene 8
(Miss Honey is at the Wormwood’s door)
Who is it?
Scene 8
Miss Honey: Oh, yes, um, hello, my name is Miss Honey. Matilda’s teacher?
Bit busy right now…
Scene 8
Miss Honey: It will only take a moment.
Oh, well, come in if you must. This is Rudolpho, he’s my dance partner. We’re rehearsing.
Scene 8
Rudolpho: What? Who is this babe? You know what interruptions do to my energy flow.
What do you want Miss Chutney?
Scene 8
Miss Honey: It’s Miss Honey. Well, as you know Matilda is in the bottom class and children in the bottom class aren’t really expected to read-
Well stop her reading then. Lord knows we’ve tried.
Scene 8
Rudolpho: I’m in the zone, doll. I can feel it in my hips. Don’t waste this.
I’m not in favour of girls getting all clever pants, Miss Hussey. Looks are more important than books. Now, look at you, look at me. You chose books, I chose looks. Good day.
Scene 13
Mr Wormwood: Ten minutes later the Russians show up. Expensive suits, dark glasses-
Russians are nocturnal; I saw it on a program last night.
Scene 13
Matilda: But they trusted you and you’ve cheated them!
What have we done to deserve a child like you?
Scene 13
Matilda: I’m a girl!
Now go to your room you nasty… little… creep!
Epilogue
Matilda: Spain? But… Why?
Because this twit brain sold a hundred and fifty-five year old bangers to the Russian Mafia.
Epilogue
Sergei: Your father is very, very, lucky to have you as his daughter. (he claps twice, the Russians exit)
Quick, lets get out of here before the Russians change their minds.
