[At Helen's 'Welcome Home' dinner, Helen throws her napkin on the floor. Annie replaces it]

Kate Keller:
Pickles, Aunt Ev?

Aunt Ev:
I should say so. You know my opinion of your pickles.

Kate Keller:
[smiling] Well, this is the last of them, I'm afraid. I didn't put up nearly enough last summer, but this year I intend to.

[Kate doles some food out onto Helen's plate; Helen drops her napkin again. While the others talk, Helen repeatedly drops and Annie repeatedly replaces Helen's napkin. Annie takes Helen's plate away]

Kate Keller:

Anne Sullivan:

Aunt Ev:

Aunt Ev:

Anne Sullivan:
Either give Helen to me, or you keep her from kicking.
