Miss Honey:
[sees a painting of her father, Magnus Honey] That's my dad.

Matilda:
: What's his name?

Miss Honey:
Magnus. I used to call him King Magnus. He called me Bumblebee.

Matilda:
I don't think Magnus killed himself.

Miss Honey:
Neither do I.

Matilda:
[notices Miss Honey's doll on the bed] Is that Lissy Doll?

[They both walk over to Lissy Doll. Just as Miss Honey is about to touch the doll...]

The Trunchbull:
[on telephone] WORMWOOD!!! You useless used car salesman scum! I want you around here NOW with another car!!! [pause for a second] Yes, I know what caveat emptor means, you lowlife liar! I'm gonna sue you, I'm gonna burn down your showroom, I'm gonna take that no-good jalopy you sold me and SHOVE IT UP YOUR BAZOOGA!!!! When I'm finished with you, you're gonna look like roadkill! [silent pause] You what? Oh... [the Trunchbull sees the chocolate box open; she hangs up, walks over to the living room, and sniffs the lid to the box, realizing that someone is in her house]

Miss Honey:
Come on. Come on. [the Trunchbull looks around the area]

Matilda:
Shouldn't we hide or something?

Miss Honey:
Yeah. Go. Go to the end of the hall, down the stairs, and out the kitchen door. I'll distract her. [the Trunchbull walks upstairs while Matilda and Miss Honey split up]

The Trunchbull:
Who's in my HOUSE?! [shouting into an empty room] COME OUT AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!!!!

[Miss Honey gasps and she sees that the Trunchbull is in the wrong room]
