[00:00.707] | MATILDA: |
[00:01.009] | And so the great day arrived! |
[00:07.387] | It was like the entire world had gathered to see, |
[00:10.874] | The burning woman, |
[00:12.912] | hurling through the air, |
[00:14.460] | with dynamite in her hair, |
[00:16.453] | over sharks and spiky objects, |
[00:19.346] | caught by the man locked in the cage'! |
[00:24.291] | Everything was arranged by... |
[00:28.436] | the Acrobat's sister - a frightening woman who used to be an Olympic-class hammer thrower, |
[00:34.953] | and who loved nothing better than to SCARE the children of the town! |
[00:40.170] | People whispered, |
[00:41.290] | that in her dark and brooding heart, |
[00:43.318] | she resented her sister, |
[00:44.890] | both her success, |
[00:46.255] | and her love. |
[00:50.696] | Suddenly, out came the Escapologist, |
[00:53.935] | Dressed as usual in his tights and spangly costume, |
[00:57.871] | but there was no sign of the Acrobat, |
[01:00.470] | and no glimpse at all of her shiny white scarf. |
[01:03.662] | And instead of the usual fanfare, |
[01:05.914] | there was silence, |
[01:07.146] | as he solemnly strode into the ring. |
[01:09.134] | MATILDA + ESCAPOLOGIST: |
[01:10.632] | "Ladies and gentlemen, |
[01:13.410] | boys and girls! |
[01:16.489] | The burning woman, |
[01:18.493] | hurling through the air, |
[01:21.045] | with dynamite in her hair, |
[01:23.448] | over sharks and spiky objects, |
[01:26.932] | caught by the man locked in the cage, |
[01:29.515] | has been...cancelled!" |
[01:32.313] | MRS PHELPS: |
[01:32.634] | No! |
[01:33.376] | MATILDA: |
[01:33.711] | Yes. The audience gasped so loud, |
[01:36.330] | that a passing aeroplane caught it on its instrumentation, |
[01:41.510] | and reported it as an atmospheric phenomenon! |
[01:42.275] | MATILDA + ESCAPOLOGIST: |
[01:42.566] | "Cancelled, because my wife is...pregnant!" “ |
[01:49.165] | MRS PHELPS: |
[01:49.406] | Oh! Matilda! |
[01:51.825] | MATILDA: |
[01:52.196] | Absolute silence. |
[01:54.543] | You could have heard a fly burp. |
[01:57.299] | Then suddenly, the audience jumped to its feet, |
[01:59.822] | and roared in appreciation! |
[02:18.944] | The great feat was instantly forgotten, |
[02:21.356] | and the applause went on for nearly an hour. |
[02:24.063] | MRS PHELPS: |
[02:24.432] | Oh, so it has a happy ending after all! |
[02:27.488] | MATILDA: |
[02:27.787] | Forgotten by everyone, |
[02:29.640] | except that is...the Acrobat's sister. |
[02:31.351] | When all had quietened down, |
[02:36.017] | she stepped forward and produced a contract. |
[02:39.436] | MRS PHELPS: |
[02:39.852] | A, a contract? |
[02:42.031] | MATILDA + THE ACROBAT'S SISTER: |
[02:42.395] | "A contract you have signed to perform this feat, |
[02:44.619] | and perform this feat you shall!" |
[02:46.527] | MRS PHELPS: |
[02:46.848] | No! |
[02:47.818] | MATILDA + THE ACROBAT'S SISTER: |
[02:48.017] | I have paid for the posters, |
[02:49.092] | the publicity, the catering, |
[02:50.951] | the toilet facilities! |
[02:52.818] | If I give the crowd their money back, |
[02:55.399] | where is my profit? |
[02:56.715] | A contract, is a contract, is a contract! |
[03:00.481] | My hands are tied! |
[03:03.539] | The burning woman, |
[03:03.960] | hurling through the air, |
[03:05.617] | with dynamite in her hair, |
[03:07.788] | over sharks and spiky objects, |
[03:10.557] | caught by the man locked in the cage, |
[03:13.656] | will be performed and performed this day or... |
[03:16.945] | off to prison you both shall go!" |
[03:20.616] | MRS PHELPS: |
[03:21.695] | No, no! |
[00:00.707] | MATILDA: |
