Hi, Dad.
Harry:
[very stern] Are you in this family? [Matilda does not answer] Hello? Are you in this family? [switches lamp off] Dinnertime is family time! What is this trash you're reading?
Matilda:
It's not trash, Dad, it's lovely. It's called "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville.
Harry:
[confused] Moby what? [angrily grabs the book and rips its pages out] This is filth! Trash!
Matilda:
It's not mine, it's a library book!
Harry:
Trash! [throws the book on the floor] I'm fed up with all this reading! You're a Wormwood, and it's time you started acting like one! Sit up and look at the TV! [grabs Matilda's head, forcing her to watch TV]
