:13:02
What else
is there to say?
:13:04
Two little girls at the age
of budding sexual fantasy...
:13:08
have concocted a romance
for themselves.
:13:10
They've chosen me as a romantic symbol.
Is that so surprising?
:13:15
Do you deny that you encourage these fantasies,
as you call them?
:13:19
Do you deny that by consorting openly
with Mr. Lowther of Cramond...
:13:22
you lead these poor children
into the most fevered conclusions?
:13:26
Not only Mr. Lowther, but Mr. Lloyd
is brought into the circle of fire.
:13:30
Mr. Lloyd, who has
a wife and... six children.
:13:34
It is diabolic that infants should
be knowledgeable...
:13:37
12-year-old girls
are not infants, Miss Mackay.
:13:41
- How do you know they're 12 years old?
- From the handwriting...
:13:44
the vocabulary,
the rudimentary knowledge of the facts of life.
:13:49
Oh, surely you cannot believe that that is
the work of 9-year-olds?
:13:53
I could believe it was the work
of your 9-year-olds, Miss Brodie.
:13:56
There's very little
for me to say, Miss Mackay...
:13:59
in the face of your
extraordinary prejudice and hostility.
:14:01
Miss Brodie, I am not
asking you to say anything.
:14:03
I am asking... demanding...
:14:05
that you put your signature,
your own signature...
:14:09
on a letter of resignation
which I have prepared for you.
:14:27
I will not resign.
:14:29
If you will not resign,
you will force me to dismiss you.
:14:33
I will not resign...
:14:35
and you will not dismiss me,
Miss Mackay.
:14:39
You will not use
the excuse of that pathetic...
:14:41
that humorous document
to blackmail me!
:14:47
Mr. Lowther,
you are a witness to this.
:14:51
Miss Mackay has made totally unsupported
accusations against my name and yours.
:14:56
If she has one
authentic shred of evidence...
:14:58
just one,
let her bring it forth!
