[After Merida's actions at the clan gathering, Elinor drags and throws Merida into the tapestry room]

Queen Elinor:
Michty me! I've just about had enough of you, lass!

Princess Merida:
You're the one that wants me to...!

Queen Elinor:
You embarrassed them! You embarrassed me!

Princess Merida:
I followed the rules!

Queen Elinor:
You don't know what you've done!

Princess Merida:
I just don't care how...

Queen Elinor:
There'll be fire and sword if it's not set right.

Princess Merida:
Just listen!

Queen Elinor:
I AM THE QUEEN! You listen to me!

Princess Merida:
OCH! This is so unfair!

Queen Elinor:
Huh! Unfair?!

Princess Merida:
[grabs a sword and swings it around angrily] You were never there for me! This whole marriage is what you want! Do you ever bother to ask what I want? No! You walk around telling me what to do, what not to do! Trying to make me be like you! Well, I'm not going to be like you!

Queen Elinor:
Och! You're acting like a child!

Princess Merida:
And you're a beast! [points her sword at the family tapestry that Elinor had been working on] That's what you are!

Queen Elinor:
[gasps] Merida!

Princess Merida:
[sticks the tip of her sword into the tapestry] I'll never be like you!

Queen Elinor:
No! Stop that!

Princess Merida:
I'd rather DIE than be like you!

[Suddenly, Merida slashes the tapestry, a line between the images of Elinor and herself. Elinor gasps in shock; Merida just stares at her angrily. Furious at what Merida has just done, Elinor marches up to her, whose angry face now gives a frightened pout]

Queen Elinor:
Merida, you are a princess! [takes the sword from Merida and tosses it aside; grabs Merida's bow] I expect you to act like one! [She throws Merida's bow into the fire. Shocked at her mother, Merida runs out of the room in tears] Merida! Merida! [immediately realizes what she's done and pulls the bow out of the fire; however, it is already ruined] Oh, no! What have I done? [weeps]
