Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events2004

[after Count Olaf slaps Klaus]

Violet:
Are you okay?

Klaus:
No. [walks away]

Violet:
Where are you going?

Klaus:
Home.

Violet:
This is our home now.

Klaus:
This is not home. Home is where your parents put you to bed at night. Where they teach you to ride a bike, or when they get all choked up on your first day of school. This is not home! How could they do this to us?

Violet:
They're just bad people.

Klaus:
Not them. Mom and Dad.

Violet:
Klaus!

Klaus:
Well, you're thinking it too, Violet! How could they?

Violet:
Do you remember when Mom and Dad went to Europe and we thought they'd abandoned us because they didn't even write? And then we found out they'd written a long letter and it had just gotten lost in the mail. Do you remember how guilty we felt for thinking bad thoughts about them? This is just like that.

Klaus:
[sadly] No, it's not.

Violet:
Why?

Klaus:
Because they're not in Europe... and they're not coming back.
