Matilda

Movie script.

Karla: Matilda y Amanda.

Darlyn: Harry Wormwood Y T-Bull

Paty: Zinnia Wormwood y Hortencia

Andrea: Michael y Miss Honey.


1.
Narrator: Everyone is born, but not everyone is born the same. Some will grow to be butchers, or
bakers, or candlestick makers. Some will only be really good at making Jell-O salad. One way or
another, though, every human being is unique, for better or for worse.
[Harry takes his first look at Matilda, grunts, and leaves]
Narrator: Most parents believe their children are the most beautiful creatures ever to grace the
planet. Others take a less emotional approach.
[Harry and Zinnia are leaving the hospital with the baby]
Harry Wormwood: What a waste of time!
Zinnia Wormwood: And painful!
Harry Wormwood: And expensive, $9.25 for a bar of soap?
Zinnia Wormwood: Well I had to take a shower, Harry!
Harry Wormwood: $5,000? I'm not paying it. What're they going to do, repossess the kid?

Escena 2.

Amanda:Yes. Ms. Trunchbull?


T-Bull: What are those?!
Amanda: What's what, Miss Trunchbull?
T-Bull: Hanging down by your ears.
Amanda: You mean my pigtails?
T-Bull: Are you a pig, Amanda!?
Amanda: No, Miss Trunchbull.
T-Bull: Do I allow pigs in my school?
Amanda: My mommy thinks they're sweet.
T-Bull: Your mommy is a TWIT. You'll chop those off before school tomorrow or I'll….
Amanda: But, but I don't ..….
T-Bull: Did you say, "But"?
Hortensia: Hammerthrow….

Adoption
Narrator: Miss Honey moved back into her father's house. Of course, Matilda was a frequent
visitor.

Honey: Tea time.


Matilda: Did you know that the heart of a mouse beats at the rate of 650 times a minute?
Honey: My….. Where did you learn that?
Matilda: …. in a book. It beats so fast that it doesn't sound like it's beating a all. It sounds like it's
humming. A porcupine's heart beats 300 times a minute.
Zinnia: Hey, you. Hey. We're leaving. Let's go. Get in the car. Hurry up. …. Let's wrap up these
cookies. Come on. We're leaving. Now!
Honey: I'd be happy to walk her home.
Zinnia: Well, nobody'll be there. We're moving to Guam. Come on. Let's go.
Honey: Guam?!?

Zinnia: Yeah. Daddy's not going to be in the auto business anymore.

Matilda: I don't want to leave!

Zinnia: We're going on a permanent vacation.

Harry: Yeah. And we've got to beat the speedboat salesmen to the airport.

Matilda: I love it here! I love my school... it isn't fair! Miss Honey, please don't let them.….

Harry: Get in the car, Melinda!

Matilda: Matilda!

Harry: Whatever.

Matilda: I want to stay with Miss Honey.

Zinnia: Miss Honey doesn't want you. Why would she want some snotty, disobedient kid?

Honey: Because she's a spectacularly wonderful child, and I love her.

Matilda: Adopt me, Miss Honey! You can adopt me.

Harry: Look, I don't have time for all these legalities!

Matilda: One second, Dad. I have the adoption papers.

Zinnia: What? Where did you get those?

Matilda: From a book in the library. I've had them since I was big enough to Xerox.

Zinnia: Are you hearing this, Harry?!?

Matilda: All you have to do is sign them.

Michael: I'll be an only child, again.

Harry: Shut up! I can't think with all these sirens! What do you think, pumpkin?

[Zinnia looked for a moment and in dismay, she turned to Matilda.]


Zinnia: You're the only daughter I ever had, Matilda. I never understood you. Not one little bit. …
Who's got a pen?

Narrator: And doing perhaps the first decent thing they ever did for their daughter, the
Wormwoods signed the adoption papers.

Matilda: And here…. And here……


Harry: All right. Come on. Turn around. You're not going to be calling us for support payments, or
something, are you?!?
Honey: Oh, no. We'll have everything we need. Don't worry.
Harry: All right. Here. Let's roll.

Narrator: So Harry and Zinnia got away. And as bad as things were before, that's how good they
became. Miss Honey was made principal of Crunchem Hall which had to add an upper school
because children never wanted to leave. and Matilda found to her great surprise, that life could be
fun, and she decided to have as much of it as possible. After all, she was a very smart kid. But the
happiest part of the story was that Matilda and Miss Honey had each gotten what they'd always
wanted …. A loving family. And Matilda never had to use her powers again. Well, I mean, almost
never.
