Bobbie Medman: You said she tried to kill you.
Joey Fane: That's right, just like she killed Susie.
Bobbie Medman: She killed your sister?
Joey Fane: Sort of... yes she did.
|
Aunt Pen: Nanny, what are you doing?
The nanny: I'm taking Master Joey an extra pillow... what are you doing up so late?
Aunt Pen: I couldn't sleep, I'm going to make a cup of tea.
The nanny: It's bad for you this late at night... you go back to bed and I'll bring you a glass of milk.
Aunt Pen: I don't want a glass of milk, I want a cup of tea.
The nanny: Allright.
Aunt Pen: Nanny, don't take Joey that pillow... he'll never go back to sleep.
[leaves the room and reenters a few seconds later]
Aunt Pen: You don't approve of pillows, I remember you saying when we were small 'children shouldn't have pillows'. What was that word you used? Overlay, they might overlay themselves. Suffocate.
The nanny: Master Joey is not a baby.
Aunt Pen: What happened in the bathroom?
The nanny: I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about.
Aunt Pen: What happened?
The nanny: Miss Pen.
Aunt Pen: WHAT HAPPENED?
The nanny: You're not well, let Nanny...
Aunt Pen: Don't you come near me.
The nanny: Miss Pen!
Aunt Pen: You went into the bathroom, even after Joey made you swear you wouldn't.
The nanny: Nor did I.
Aunt Pen: You lie, it's all been lies, hasn't it? You poisoned Virgie, it wasn't Joey at all.
|
Joey Fane: What's that?
Bobbie Medman: It's an X-ray machine, don't touch it, it's dangerous.
Joey Fane: What's so dangerous about it?
Bobbie Medman: I don't know, but Daddy says if you get overexposed you can die.
Joey Fane: I'd like to overexpose her.
Bobbie Medman: That would be great, bring her up here, put her on the couch...
Joey Fane: Tie her on the couch!
Bobbie Medman: And overexpose her would serve her right.
|
Joey Fane: I can make a hangman's knot.
Virginia 'Virgie' Fane: That's enough, Joey.
|
Joey Fane: Is Aunt Pen ill?
Virginia 'Virgie' Fane: Yes, she had traumatic fever as a baby. Left her with a weak heart.
Joey Fane: You mean if she got scared or something, she could just fall down dead?
Virginia 'Virgie' Fane: Yes.
Joey Fane: Has *she* got a weak heart?
Virginia 'Virgie' Fane: Who? If you mean Nanny, say so, is that who you mean?
Joey Fane: Yes.
Virginia 'Virgie' Fane: No, she's as healthy as a horse.
|
Joey Fane: I don't want to be moved out of this room.
Virginia 'Virgie' Fane: I'll have to talk to your father about that.
Joey Fane: Don't tell him, please...
Virginia 'Virgie' Fane: I must.
Joey Fane: If you tell him, I'll do something!
Virginia 'Virgie' Fane: [startled] What will you do?
|
Joey Fane: Can I sleep with you tonight?
Aunt Pen: You most certainly can not.
Joey Fane: What happens if you die in the night? You told Mommy you could drop down dead at any time.
Aunt Pen: Only if I excite or exert myself, and I don't plan to do either.
|
[repeated line]
Joey Fane: She tried to kill me.
|
Bobbie Medman: Who's that?
Joey Fane: Nanny.
Bobbie Medman: Nanny? What are you, some sort of baby?
Joey Fane: She takes care of my mom, she used to take care of me and my sister Susie, until Susie was killed.
Bobbie Medman: Killed?
Joey Fane: They blamed me and they sent me away to that place.
Bobbie Medman: Prison?
Joey Fane: Sort of.
Bobbie Medman: And did you kill her?
Joey Fane: Of course not.
