[Hortensia and Lavender explain to Matilda about how the Trunchbull punishes the students] Matilda: She doesn't really hit children with that riding crop, does she? Hortensia: No, it's mostly for scare. What she does is worse. Like yesterday, in the second grade, the Trunchbull makes a weekly visit to every classroom to show the teachers a thing or two about handling kids. [cut to flashback] And Julius Rottwinkle ate 2 M&Ms during her lesson. Matilda: And she caught him? Hortensia: Of course. [The Trunchbull makes Julius spit out the M&Ms, then she throws him out the window; cut back to present] Matilda: Was Julius okay? Hortensia: After being thrown out the window? Of course he wasn't okay. He lived, if that's what you mean. Lavender: The Trunchbull used to be in the Olympics; shot put, javelin, hammer throw. Hortensia: The hammer throw's her specialty. Matilda: So she does this all the time? Hortensia: It's better than being put in the chokey. Matilda: The chokey? Hortensia: Yeah, the chokey. [cut to flashback] It's a tall narrow hole in the wall behind a door. You have to stand in a drippy pipe with jagged edges, and the walls have broken glass and nails sticking out. The Trunchbull: [as she puts Hortensia in the chokey] Get inside, you festering ball of pus! Matilda: She puts kids in there? Hortensia: I've been in twice. Sometimes she leaves you in there all day. Matilda: Didn't you tell your parents? Hortensia: They didn't believe me. I mean, would your parents believe it? The Trunchbull: Sixty lines after school: "I must obey Ms. Trunchbull." Matilda: No.
