[Matilda catches Agents Bob and Bill in the garage without a search warrant]
FBI Agent Bill:
Shouldn't we have a search warrant to do this?
FBI Agent Bob:
Nah, this guy's dirty. Once we show this tape in court, Wormwood's goose is cooked. [spots a box on a shelf] I'm sure that box is full of stolen car parts. [gets a ladder]
FBI Agent Bill:
You've been taping all week. How about letting me handle that camera for a while?
[Matilda uses her powers to move the box on the shelf out of the agents' reach]
FBI Agent Bob:
You know how to use it? You know about the zoom? You know how to adjust the eyepiece? [climbs up the ladder and notices the box on a different part of the shelf]
FBI Agent Bill:
I can handle it. Besides, it's my turn.
[As the agents move the ladder, Matilda again uses her powers to move the box back to it's original spot]
FBI Agent Bob:
Yeah, your turn to drop it.
FBI Agent Bill:
I won't drop it. [notices the box is out of reach again] Come on...
Matilda:
[approaches the agents] You two men are gonna be in a lot of trouble very soon.
FBI Agent Bill:
[to Agent Bob] It's the female minor.
FBI Agent Bob:
Aren't you supposed to be in school, young lady?
Matilda:
I really hope you have a search warrant. According to a constitutional law book that I read in the library, if you don't have one, you could lose your job or even go to federal prison.
FBI Agent Bob:
It's your father who's going to federal prison. And you know where you'll end up?
FBI Agent Bill:
In a federal orphanage.
FBI Agent Bob:
If you cooperate, we'll make sure it's a nice orphanage.
FBI Agent Bill:
The kind with food... and teeny-weeny cockroaches.
FBI Agent Bob:
What do you say?
Matilda:
There's another crime in the making: your car is about to run a stop sign.
[The handbrake has been taken off the agents' car, which is now rolling towards a four-way stop intersection. The agents run after the car and as they do, Matilda uses her powers to open the tape recorder one of them is carrying and removes the tape.]
