What's going on here?
1:07:05
lt's not their fault.
l asked them to come.

1:07:07
You five go downstairs.
1:07:09
l'll deal with you later.
1:07:12
Becky. . .
1:07:13
. . .you'll remain locked in your room
tomorrow without meals.

1:07:17
Go!
1:07:21
And you will perform her chores
in addition to your own. . .

1:07:25
. . .without breakfast, lunch or dinner.
1:07:27
lt's time you learned. . .
1:07:29
. . .that real life has nothing to do
with your fantasy games.

1:07:33
lt's a cruel,
nasty world out there. . .

1:07:36
. . .and it's our duty
to make the best of it.

1:07:38
Not to indulge in ridiculous dreams,
but to be productive and useful.

1:07:47
Do you understand what l'm saying?
1:07:52
Yes, ma'am.
1:07:56
Good.
1:07:59
But l don't believe in it.
1:08:05
Don't tell me you still
fancy yourself a princess.

1:08:09
Good God, child, look around you!
1:08:12
Or better yet, look in the mirror.
1:08:21
l am a princess.
1:08:23
All girls are.
1:08:25
Even if they live
in tiny old attics.

1:08:28
Even if they dress in rags.
1:08:31
Even if they aren't pretty
or smart or young.

1:08:35
They're still princesses.
All of us.

1:08:40
Didn't your father ever tell you that?
1:08:43
Didn't he?
1:08:48
lf l find you up here
with the girls again. . .

1:08:51
. . .l'll throw you out
into the street!
