Trunchbull - 6

pg 79-84

TermDefinition
Miss Honey, your aunt's a murderer! She killed Magnus, who it she? 'a contract is a contract is a contract!'
Miss Trunchbull! In this world, children, there are two types of human beings. The winners and the losers. I am a winner. I play by the rules and I win. But if I play by the rules, and I... don't win, then something is wrong, something is not working.
(cont.) And when something is wrong, you have to put it right. Even if it screams. What are you looking at?
You This class is going to have a very special spelling test. Any child who gets one single answer wrong, shall... go... to chokey. You! Spell, of now, let me see... Spell newt.
Newt. N-E-W-T. Newt. What?
Miss honey's taught us. She's very good at teaching. Nonsense! Miss Honey is too soft and peachy to be anything, any moron can see that! You! Stand up, turn around and spell the one thing that you all are... revolting!
Revolting. R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G. Revolting. You're cheating!
Of course she's not cheating, she's simply spelling the word! These little specks of dust can't be this cleaver, they are worms!
I've taught them, that's all. With kindness and patience and respect. How dare you bring those words into my classroom, Madam? You know nothing of teaching and I shall prove it. You! Filthbog! Snotnose! Spell... Amchellakamanialseptricolistimosis.
What? But that's not a word, you just made that up! Spell. Or go to chokey. And I should warn you; it has silent letters...
A-M-CH-E... L-L-A Oh dear. Oh deary, deary, dear--
K? I'm so sorry. It was a silent Z. You're. Going. To chokey?
Cat. C-A... F! Cat! I... I got it wrong, Miss. You have to put me in chokey too. Whaaaaat...?
Dog. D-Y-P. Dog. And me.
You can't put us all in chokey, Banana; G-T-A-A-B-L! No, no, what are you doing, stop this, do you hear?
Maggots T-S-P-A-D-Y-F Snotnose U-T-O-O-O-O-O Stop, stop, this is--
...Revolting! P-X-Q-Q-Q-AST-1-2-3-4-89-X 'You have to put me in chokey too.' 'You can't put us all in chokey, Miss.' Come now maggots. Did you think I hadn't thought of that?
(cont.) A whole array of chokeys! One for each and every one of you! And now that our spelling test is over I can tell you that each and every one of you has failed!
(cont. 2) You see children, in this world there are two types of human beings, winners and losers and I am a...
The chalk! Look, the chalk! What...?
It's moving! It's moving! Look, it's writing something. What the devil is this? Who, who...?
No-one! No-one's doing anything! 'Agatha' 'Agatha, this is... Magnus!' No! It... it can't be! It can't be!
'Give my Jenny back her house... Stop this! Stop this, do you hear?
...Then LEAVE' It can't be... It can't be Magnus!
'Or I will get you... No, no...
...like YOU GOT ME!' NO!
