Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical - A Family's Unconventional Conversation About School
Matilda Wormwood:
Do you want to hear about my first day at school?
Mrs. Wormwood:
Yuck. I'd rather eat vegetables.
Mr. Wormwood:
It's official, I'm a genius! My losing streak is over. This fella comes into the lot. Huge he was. Great big bear of a man. And this bear of a man wants a luxury car.
Mrs. Wormwood:
Oh, lovely. But do bears drive?
Mr. Wormwood:
No. He's not a real bear.
Matilda Wormwood:
Do you have a luxury car?
Mr. Wormwood:
I've got two, boy.
Matilda Wormwood:
I'm a girl.
Mr. Wormwood:
One with a smashed-in front, and one with a smashed-in back. All I gotta do is cut them in half, glue them together and Bob's your chipmunk. Daddy's back.
Matilda Wormwood: [Mrs. Wormwood gasps]
But isn't that illegal? And sort of, well, wrong?
Mr. Wormwood: [snatches the library book out of Matilda's hand]
What'd he say? Wrong? Wrong? Give me that. The Grapes of...Idiot! How can grapes be angry? Hey? What utter junk!
Matilda Wormwood:
It's not about grapes.
Mrs. Wormwood:
Back-yakking! The little madam!
Matilda Wormwood:
I'm not back-yakking!
Mr. Wormwood:
Don't you back-yak me! I'll rip this book up in front of you.
Matilda Wormwood:
No, it's a library book!
Mrs. Wormwood:
Go on, do it. Go on.
Mr. Wormwood: [tears the pages of the library book]
There! There! Now get to bed, you little bookworm.

Abigail - Names and Relationships Across Time
Abigail: [''Her father appears behind Joey'']
Father?
Ana: [''Falls to the ground'']
Lazar?
Father: [''Growls at her and laughs'']
I've gone by many names over the countless years.
Abigail:
Father, don't!
Father:
I can smell your blood, I can taste it!
Abigail: [''Gets in front of them'']
You don't understand. Please stop. She saved my life!
Father: [''Shouts'']
ABIGAIL!
Abigail:
She was here, when you weren't.
Father: [''Kneeling down''; ''He kisses Ana on the hand'']
I came when you needed me. I'm here now. I think you should leave. It's getting awfully close to dinner time.
Abigail:
See you around, Joey.

Abigail - Consequences of Choices in a Dangerous Situation
Terrence:
Getting shot hurts, Sammy.
Abigail:
The offer still stands, Frank. Open the door, and I'll let you keep all your blood.
Adam:
Oh.
Abigail:
Organs, too.
Adam:
Sure.
Abigail:
I'm serious. You could be useful to us.
Adam:
Why don't you... tell me... how to get the fuck out of here, and I'll consider it.
Abigail:
If I told you, you'd just leave me here. You first.
Adam: [''Gets up'']
You know what, my offer just expired. Have fun spending eternity in a fucking elevator.
Abigail:
Wait, I'll tell you. But you have to let me out immediately after I do.
Adam:
All right. Fine. It's a deal.
Abigail: [[w:And Then There Were None|And Then There Were None]
There's a secret door in the library. The bookshelf on the right wall. ].
Adam: [''Walks away'']
Hmm. Very good. Thanks.
Abigail:
Wait. A deal's a deal.
Adam: [''Chuckles dryly and walks over''; ''Pretends to undo latch''; ''Chuckles cruelly with Abigail also laughing''; ''Abigail breaks elevator cage sending Frank flying with her doing ballet moves over him with Ana rushing over to break open planks on window sending sunlight searing off Abigail's right hand'']
Oh, right. The deal. Ain't I a silly billy? Still gullible at your age, you fucking freak? What's so fucking funny?

Abigail - A Tense Confrontation in a Cage
Joey: [''To Abigail trapped in elevator'']
We want to talk.
Abigail:
Please, please let me out. I'm scared.
Joey:
Cut the shit. You're really good at pretending to be a little girl. Quick question, who's inside the cage right now?
Abigail: [''Does [[w:curtsy|a curtsy]
Thank you. I've had a few centuries of experience.
Joey:
Tell us how to get out of here, and we'll let you go.
Abigail:
No.
Sammy: [''Lunges forward with Joey thwarting her'']
Hey, what's gonna happen to me?! Am I gonna turn into a vampire?!
Abigail:
Maybe.
Sammy:
Oh, my God! She said "maybe"!
Peter: [''Consoling Sammy'']
It's okay.
Frank:
Listen little lady, or ma'am, whatever. We're very sorry, okay? We didn't know who you were. We thought you were a regular 12-year old-girl.
Abigail:
You were gonna beat me and torture me when you thought I was just a regular 12-year old-girl.
Frank:
Yeah, well... like I say, we're very sorry. We would never have taken you if we knew who your father was.
Abigail: [''All crew look at Frank in dismay'']
You did work for him, didn't you? Haven't you wondered why I brought you here?
Peter:
You brought us here?
Abigail: [''Brings hand to forehead'']
Jesus Christ. There was never any money. I planned all of this. Lambert works for me.
Sammy:
What are you talking about?
Abigail:
Don't you know, Jessie?
Sammy:
What did you just call me?
Abigail: [[w:Hedge fund|Hedge funds; [w:Offshore bank|private offshore accounts]
Jessica Hurney. You started your career siphoning money from your affluent parents bank accounts. ] came next, then ], and eventually much bigger fish. One in particular.
Sammy:
I can give it back.
Abigail: [''Peter looks guilty''; [w:Morphine#Addiction|Uncle Sam's morphine]
Terrence Lacroix. Muscle for the Montreal Broussard family. Did it bore you snapping necks for pay? Enduring endless taunts from your colleagues about your stunted intellect? Is that why you stole from your whole crew who just happened to be a tiny subsidiary of our whole empire? How long did the money last, you weak, disloyal inebriate? Former Detective Adam Barrett. You thought you could infiltrate our New York arm under deep cover. But you liked the life a little too much, didn't you? The power you had when you were free of rules and regulations. It became an addiction. How empty did you feel when you finally arrested our three lieutenants you'd worked so hard to get close to? And how empty did you feel after I ripped up their bodies in the hotel penthouse because of you? You changed your name, you left town, and you never saw your family again. But it wasn't for their safety, was it, Detective Barrett? Finally, we have the tragic Ana Lucia Cruz. Former army medic drummed out of service for shooting up ].
Ana:
I was injured in the field.
Abigail:
You tried to take care of your son, before abandoning him to his fuckup of a father
Ana:
Shut up.
Abigail:
You became an underground doctor for some very shady people. But one day, you were just too high to do your job, and instead of removing a bullet, you nicked an artery, and someone very important to my father's business bled out. But you and Detective Barrett have something in common. You never went back for your son.
Ana:
Shut the fuck up! And what do you tell yourself, huh? That you want to be your daddy's little errand girl? No, he did lose interest in you. That wasn't a lie. How many of your father's enemies you're gonna have to kill until he loves you again?
Adam:
If this is about revenge, why didn't you just kill us? Why'd you bring us here?
Ana:
Because it isn't. This is just a game to her.
Adam:
Bullshit. She was screaming at the house and Dad triggered the alarm.
Ana:
That wasn't even her father. That wasn't Lazaar. And for what, because you're fucking bored?! For your fucking entertainment?!
Abigail:
What can I say? I like playing with my food. You're the same as all the other meat sacks I've brought here over the years. Nothing different about any of you. Nothing special. Just something to help me pass the time.
Ana:
Quick question. Who's inside a cage right now?
Abigail:
If you let me out, I'll let two of you live.
Terrence: [''Jessica slaps him'']
Oh. Which two? What?!
Abigail:
It's a surprise.
Adam:
Fuck this. Let's just kill her now.
Abigail: [''Ana and Terrence both draw pistols at each other'']
You tried that, Frank. If you would like to open this door and try again, please do. My offer just expired. Now I'll only let one of you live, whoever lets me out.
Adam:
She's fucking lying, you moron. You touch that door, you're as dead as the rest of us.
Terrence:
Maybe it's worth a try.
Ana:
We have her Peter. That's why we did this, so we can trade her for our lives.
Abigail:
That will never happen. Joey was right. No matter how many of you I kill, my father doesn't love me, and he's not gonna trade me for anything. So go on, Peter, let me out. Go on.
Ana:
Peter, if you touch that door, I will shoot you.
Terrence: [''Reaches for latch with Ana shooting him in the torso''; ''Repeatedly'']
I'm sorry, guys. Ah! You shot me!
Ana:
I barely grazed you. Now give me your gun so I can patch you up.
Terrence:
You're sure crazy.
Ana:
I prefer "impatient". Frank, help me out. Sammy, watch her.
Jessica:
Fuck that shit. Hm-mm.
Ana:
Sammy.
Jessica:
I'm not staying down here... with that. Fuck that shit, Joey.
Adam: [''Ana, Terrence and Jessica walk away'']
I got this.

Abigail - A Hostage Situation Unfolds with Hidden Identities
Abigail: [''Joey enters her room'']
What's going on?
Joey:
We're keeping you here until your father gives us some money.
Abigail:
Do you know who my father is?
Joey:
No. And we don't want to know, so don't tell me.
Abigail:
Are you gonna hurt me?
Joey:
No. If you behave yourself and do as we say, and if your dad gives us money, you'll be fine. In the meantime, I'm here to keep you safe and comfortable.
Abigail:
Can you promise me you're not gonna let anybody hurt me?
Joey: [''Holds up pinkie finger''; ''Abigail locks pinkies'']
I'll do you one better. I pinkie-promise you that I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you.
Abigail:
What's your name?
Joey:
Um... oh, you can call me Joey.
Abigail:
Do you have any kids?
Joey:
I have a little boy. About your age.
Abigail:
What's his name? My name's Abigail.
Joey:
I can't tell you his name.
Abigail:
Can I make one up?
Joey:
I'd rather you didn't.
Abigail:
I'm just gonna call him Justin. What's Justin like?
Joey:
He's... just a... normal kid.
Abigail:
What does he like?
Joey:
Just normal kid stuff.
Abigail:
I don't really know about kid stuff. My dad, well, like, he thought he wanted a child but then he just lost interest. You've made a mistake; he doesn't care about me.
Joey:
I'm going to leave you alone now. I'll be back soon.
Abigail:
As soon as you say?
Joey:
Okay.
Abigail:
Joey?
Joey:
Yeah?
Abigail:
I'm sorry about what's going to happen to you.
