Entire confection.
My mommy thinks they're sweet.
In that room right over there. Would you like me to pick you out one with lots of pictures in it?
You squirts better skedaddle. I'm not kidding. The Trunchbull likes to snap a whip in there to see who's trying to hide.
I've got 9:18.
9:17 is correct.
Are you ready to get sticky with Mickey?
Give me those things! Give me that! Where are you going with those? Give me those. Get in the car! [Harry grabs the car parts] Go on. [Michael and Matilda hop in the car] Get in.
Dirty dealings, like buying stolen car parts, never stay secret for long. Especially when the FBI gets involved.
9:17, suspect exits domicile.
I've got 9:18.
9:17 is correct.
So, he came home with 2,000 dollars cash, and he threw it up in the air, and we both swam in it like we were both on the "Million Dollar Sticky". Do you like that show?
I love that show.
That was the old days. Now we've got money in banks all over this planet, and does he give me a dime?
They're cops.
They're not cops, they're Ace powerboat salesmen.
Hi, Harry.
Who are you? What is this, a hot tub party? Get the hell out of here! I slave all day, I come home, you're entertaining a couple of surfer dude bodybuilders!
They're cops, dad.
You interested in timeshare?
Get out of here.
You don't let me talk to people! I live in a cage, Harry! I need to talk to somebody besides those stupid kids!
Oh, yeah?! Well, a man is entitled to come home and find dinner on the table, without having to wade through a convention of male strippers!
Dad!
What do you want?
Yell at me, okay?
Shut up and leave us alone!
Yell at me again!
Yell at you? I'll come in there and pound your miserable hide! What do I have to do to gain respect around here?! I'm gonna give you a tanning like you've never had in your life! My word is my law! You understand?! Law! [Matilda magically closes the door]
No kid likes being yelled at, but it was precisely Harry's ranting and raving that gave Matilda the key to her power. To unlock that power, all she had to do was practice.
You're a little cheat. (…You're a Wormwood. It's time you started acting like one! …) What are you, stupid?!? I'm smart, you're dumb. I'm big, you're little.
The apple never rots far from the tree.
I think there's something wrong with that girl.
I'm right, you're wrong. And there's nothing you can do about it.
Hey, dip face, here's your book. [Throws book at Matilda]
You're a Wormwood! It's time you started acting like one! (Time you started acting like one!)
That was my personal favorite played especially for all you little bitty pretty ones moving and grooving on this sunny afternoon. Playing music to make you smile, so you'd better not touch that!
Shouldn't we have a search warrant to do this?
Nah! This guy's dirty. Once we show this tape in court, Wormwood's goose is cooked. I'm sure that box is full of stolen car parts. [Matilda is using her powers to move the box as Bob moves the ladder to try and get the box]
You've been taping all week. How about letting me handle that camera for awhile?
Do you know how to use it? Do you know about the zoom and the white balance? Do you know how to adjust the eyepiece?
I can handle it. Besides, it's my turn.
Yeah. Your turn to drop it.
I won't drop it. Come on.
You two men are going to be in a lot of trouble very soon.
It's the female minor.
Aren't you supposed to be in school, young lady?
I really hope you have a search warrant. According to a constitutional law book I read in the library, if you don't have one, you could lose your job or go to federal prison.
It's your father who's going to federal prison. And you know where you'll end up? In a federal orphanage. If you cooperate, we'll make sure it's a nice orphanage, the kind with food, teeny-weeny cockroaches. What do you say? [car starts rolling down the hill]
There's another crime in the making. Your car is about to run a stop sign. [She uses her powers to make the car roll down the hill. The agents run after the car as she removes the tape from the camera and throws it in the kitchen garbage]
So she bought a little time for her dad to come to his senses. But now, Matilda had bigger fish to fry, much bigger.
Hey, dip-face, where you are going?
Out.
Hey, dip-face, have a carrot.
Chew your food! You're an animal!
