The Parent Trap1961

[Grandmother rattles off the day's schedule at the breakfast table]

Susan Evers:
[as Sharon] I don't think I'll be able to do any of those today.

Grandmother:
[surprised] What did you say?

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
Sharon! You interrupted your grandmother.

Susan Evers:
Well I have something important to tell you. [emphatically] Mother, I think what you and Daddy did to us children is lousy! In fact, I think it stinks!

Grandmother:
Sharon!

Susan Evers:
[approaching Grandmother] And let's get this straight, I'm not Sharon, I'm Susan. [facing her mother] Sharon, your Sharon, is out in California with Daddy.

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
But it's impossible!

Grandmother:
You can't be Susan.

Susan Evers:
But I AM Susan. Sharon and I met at camp, so we decided to switch places. She bit off her fingernails and I cut her hair, and now she's out in California with Dad, swimming and riding my horse and having a KEEN time and I'm stuck here with these lousy music lessons and I HATE them!

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
[staring as if too good to be true] Susan!

Susan Evers:
Oh I'm sorry, Mother. But I wanted to see you, and I missed not having a mother. I love you very much, and I wondered, if you could love me as me and not as Sharon. Please?

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
Oh Susan! [she hugs Susan] Oh my darling. Why didn't you let me know? Why didn't you tell me?

Susan Evers:
I couldn't help it. I mean, I wanted to be near you and to know what it was like to have a mother and everything.

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
Oh, Baby. [they hug again]

Grandmother:
[getting up and hugging Susan] Susan, darling! Let me look at you. [to Maggie] She's EXACTLY ...

Margaret 'Maggie' McKendrick:
I know, I can't believe it.
