Close your mouth, Swinburne!
Mrs. Hobday
Another package from Professor Emelius Browne in London. He sent you a cat last time, did he not?
Charlie Knock his block off!
Supper is at six. You will wash, thoroughly—
Charlie Wash?!
You will wash yourselves, otherwise there will be no supper.
Charlie [Miss Price leaves the room.]
A house of horrors, that's what this is.
Charlie [Charlie notices an odd bottle on a shelf in Miss Price's office.]
Poisoned dragon's liver?!
Poisoned dragon's liver.
Charlie Why d'you keep the curtains closed?
So we can enjoy our cheese and wine in the gentle glow of candlelight.
Charlie I bet it's so the coppers won't catch you hiding out here.
What is this—a toyshop?
No, it's a nursery. Ain't you ever seen a nursery before?
Charlie [to Carrie]
No, and neither have you.
Charlie Who else lives here?
I live alone — it suits my purposes.
Sorry Miss! The cat scared us!
It’s not exactly! It was you who scared him.
What is your cat's name?
I don't like giving cats ridiculous names, I call it a cosmic thrill because that's the name it came with.
The lunch is at six. You will wash, thoroughly—
Charlie Wash?!
You will wash yourself thoroughly, otherwise do without lunch, is that clear? [leaves the room]
Charlie A house of horror, that's what we've come to.
Charlie Hurt your foot, Miss Price?
Oh, just twisted my ankle.
Charlie Sorry to hear that.
Thank you. It's nothing serious.
Charlie Lovely weather for flying last night.
Charlie [bringing out her broken broomstick]
Game's up, Miss Price. We know what you are.
I see.
Charlie [she looks worriedly at Charles]
Don't worry, Miss Price. No one's gonna peach on you.
Charlie [Charlie notices an odd bottle on a shelf in Miss Price's office]
Poisoned dragon's liver?!
Poisoned dragon's liver.
Do you poison the dragon or just the liver?
It comes prepared. It's part of the school equipment.
I liked you better as a rabbit, Charlie
Charlie Shut up, you!
Charlie Don't they have no rules?
Of course they do. The king makes them up as they go.
Colonel Heller [Miss Price and the children are taken hostage in her house by German soldiers.]
No, fraulein, this is not the invasion, just a little exercise, a minor raid to induce panic and to spread a little mischief. When you English get it through your head that the German forces can land at will whenever and wherever we please, perhaps you will consider a reasonable peace.
Charlie Not bloody likely!
Go on, Miss Price. Do it to him.
I must say, it's very tempting. Colonel, how would you feel about being turned into a nice white rabbit? [The colonel and a soldier read a map, ignoring Miss Price] I said, how would you feel about being turned into a nice white rabbit?!
Colonel Heller [Paul smiles]
Be quiet, please!
[Miss Price stands up, points at the Colonel, but cannot remember the correct words to the rabbit spell]
Filigree, apogee, epigee...!
Charlie Not again.
Your memory, Miss Price.
Charles, would you kindly fetch me my notebook from the workroom, please?
Charlie Right-o.
Colonel Heller [He walks to the workroom, but a soldier restrains Charlie. Miss Price and Paul attempt to retrieve Charlie in much commotion. The colonel, annoyed, turns to them]
SILENCE!!! [The commotion stops] Fraulein, we have work to do. I am sorry, but I must send all of you someplace where you will no longer be a nuisance. [Gives an order in German and continues working]
Charlie I suppose that's it. We ain't gonna have no fun no more.
Well, I still got this, don't I? [holds up the bedknob, which sparkles bright red]
