lt's not their fault.
l asked them to come.

:21:03
You five go downstairs.
:21:05
l'll deal with you later.
:21:08
Becky. . .
:21:09
. . .you'll remain locked in your room
tomorrow without meals.

:21:13
Go!
:21:17
And you will perform her chores
in addition to your own. . .

:21:21
. . .without breakfast, lunch or dinner.
:21:24
lt's time you learned. . .
:21:26
. . .that real life has nothing to do
with your fantasy games.

:21:30
lt's a cruel,
nasty world out there. . .

:21:32
. . .and it's our duty
to make the best of it.

:21:35
Not to indulge in ridiculous dreams,
but to be productive and useful.

:21:44
Do you understand what l'm saying?
:21:49
Yes, ma'am.
:21:53
Good.
:21:57
But l don't believe in it.
:22:03
Don't tell me you still
fancy yourself a princess.

:22:07
Good God, child, look around you!
:22:10
Or better yet, look in the mirror.
:22:20
l am a princess.
:22:22
All girls are.
:22:24
Even if they live
in tiny old attics.

:22:27
Even if they dress in rags.
:22:30
Even if they aren't pretty
or smart or young.

:22:34
They're still princesses.
All of us.

:22:39
Didn't your father ever tell you that?
:22:42
Didn't he?
:22:48
lf l find you up here
with the girls again. . .

:22:51
. . .l'll throw you out
into the street!
