Kate Keller:
Take her, Miss Annie.

Anne Sullivan:
Thank you.

Captain Keller:
No. No, I won't have it. I don't see that we need to send her from the table.

Anne Sullivan:
Let me hold Helen to what's she's learned, and she will go on learning. Take her out of my hands, and it all comes apart!

Captain Keller:
She is the Guest of Honor. Bring her plate back.

Anne Sullivan:
If she was a seeing child, you would not stand for this!

Captain Keller:
Well, she is not! I think some allowances are called for. Bring her plate back.

[Helen has never stopped moaning. The Captain puts Helen into her chair, replaces her napkin, and gives her a fork]

Captain Keller:
Thank you. There. Now, let's start all over.

[Helen throws her fork and napkin to the ground, then starts to stuff food into her mouth with the palm of her hand. She gets up to wander around the table, in her old habit. Annie pauses her]

Anne Sullivan:
No. No. No. [She takes Helen's hand and puts it to her own cheek, so that Helen will feel her shaking her head negatively] No. No.

[Helen reaches for the pitcher of water and sloshes Annie]

Anne Sullivan:

[She grabs Helen and lifts her. Kate and Arthur start to rise from the table]

Anne Sullivan:
Don't get up!

Captain Keller:
What are you doing?

Anne Sullivan:
I treat her like a seeing child because I ask her to see. I expect her to see!

Captain Keller:
Where are you taking her?

Anne Sullivan:
To make her re-fill this pitcher!
