'A very long time ago there lived a beautiful princess in a mystical land known as... India.' 'She was married to the handsome Prince Rama who had been banished to the enchanted forest by his jealous stepmother Queen Kaikay.' 'One day Princess Sita saw a wounded deer in the woods and she begged Rama to go and help it.' 'Rama drew a circle in the ground and said to her, "This is a magic circle." '"So long as you stay inside it,... no harm can come to you."' 'That night the princess heard a horrible cry.' '"Argh! Help me!"' 'Thinking it was her beloved Rama in danger, the princess ran from the circle to answer the cry.' 'She soon came across an old beggar man.' 'Although she had no money to give him, she could not refuse his plea.' As soon as he had the bracelet, he became the 10-headed demon Ravana. He takes the princess to his palace, where he intends to make her his bride. Did you ever know a real prince, Maya? Yes. Laki's father. I thought he was in the army. I thought he was in the army. He was. And he was my prince. And I his princess. I mean real princes and princesses. All women are princesses. It is our right. (YODELS LIKE TARZAN) I shall miss it here. India is the only place on earth that stirs the imagination. < I wish we could stay here forever. I know, sweetheart, but now that England's gone to war,... I must go, too. You understand that, don't you? Why must I go to America? Because it's safer. And you'll go to the same school as your mother when she was your age in a city called... in a city called... New York. Papa? Papa? Mm-hm. Maya said that all girls are princesses. Maya is a very wise woman. Maya is a very wise woman. Then it's true? You can be anything you want to be, as long as you believe. What do you believe? What do you believe? I believe that you are... and always will be... my little princess. I gave this to your mother on our wedding day. I want you to have it. She was so beautiful. What did you love most about her? Tough question. I loved the way her eyes lit up when she laughed. Just like yours do. I loved the sound of her voice when she sang me the Indian folk song. But I think, more than anything else,... I loved dancing with her! SHIP'S BELL SHIP'S HORN BLARES STREETCAR BELLS Hello! You must be Captain Crewe. My sister will be down presently. We were preparing the young lady's room. Your beautiful things are here. Thank you, er... Thank you, er... Oh, heavens! Amelia. Amelia Minchin. Captain Crewe! > How delightful to meet you. And this must be little Sara. My, what a beautiful child. I was just telling ` I was just telling ` Thank you, Amelia, that is all. Won't you follow me? Classes begin promptly at eight o'clock. We cover all subjects ` literature, maths, science and, of course, French and Latin. and, of course, French and Latin. Well, Sara speaks fluent` < Lunch is at one-thirty, after which we walk, unless the weather is very inclement. At four the girls attend classes in etiquette, and they are trained in the formal graces of society. > Study is between four-thirty and six-thirty, followed by supper and then before bedtime we read from one of the classics, something the children look forward to. < Sunday is a day of rest. < Students may write only to parents and we attend church. < Any questions? Come along, dear. < SNORING Ahem! Oh... Je mange... Tu manges... Tu manges... Excusez-moi, Monsieur Dufarge. I would like you to say hello to our new arrival ` Miss Sara Crewe. Miss Sara Crewe. ALL: Hello, Sara. You must tell them all about your exciting life in India. You'll be our most popular student in no time. Now, there are rules that are to be made quite clear. The order rule requires girls to keep their rooms spotless. < Next is the tidiness rule... These rules are strictly enforced. I assure you, Captain, the results are worth the effort. Our reputation for sending the most poised... and charming ladies into society is one of the highest. I've no doubt. Also... I'm afraid jewellery and such finery are not allowed. What if I wear it in my room during free time? Well, if you absolutely insist. I do. She'll get in so much trouble. Monsieur? Je mange. Je mange. ALL: Je mange. Tu manges. Tu manges. ALL: Tu manges. This is splendid. It's our largest suite. > Thank you for the care you've taken. > I want Sara to be as much at home as possible while I'm away. > No expense shall be spared. No expense shall be spared. Of course not. I'll let you two say your goodbyes. I know you don't have much time before your boat leaves. We'll write to each other every day. How do you like your room? I made sure it was the best. Corner windows and a fireplace. And with all your toys and clothes moved in, it's just as if you were... You know, I think I saw something... on that chair over there. She came all the way from France just to be with you. > Her name is Emily. Emily. You know, dolls make the very best friends. Just because they can't speak doesn't mean they don't listen. And when we leave them alone in our room, they come to life. They do? They do? Before we catch them, they return to their places quick. Why don't they come to life in front of us so we can see them? Because it's magic. Magic has to be believed. It's the only way it's real. Whenever you're afraid or miss me terribly, just tell Emily and she'll get a message to me wherever I am. Then I'll send one back right away,... so that when you hug her, you'll really be getting a hug from me. It's all right, Papa. I'm going to be fine. What are you doing? Memorising me by heart? No. I already know you by heart. Goodbye, princess. * That's nothing. You should hear Josephine snore. (SNORES) I do not! < Who was it? The new girl? She hasn't come out of her room yet. Did you see her toys? I wiped her hair in it. Her father grows crackers or something. They're very rich. Her father grows crackers or something. They're very rich. Must be. Everyone eats crackers. Her father's British. I heard he's friends with the King and Queen. I heard he was thrown out of India as people died eating his poison crackers. Poison crackers? I had an aunt who died eating poison string beans. I had an aunt who died eating poison string beans. Who cares about her? Yeah, who cares? (RECALLS HER FATHER): Before we walk in and catch them, they return to their places quick. Gosh, she's fast. Mama. Sara... We don't delay breakfast for one student. I'm sorry, Miss Minchin` I'm sorry, Miss Minchin` You're not the only child. > You must remember that. Bonjour, Monsieur Dufarge. Comment etes-vous aujourd'hui? Oh, yes, yes, yes. Good morning. I trust you remember our newest pupil from yesterday. Sara, Monsieur Dufarge. > You will begin French with him this afternoon. You will begin French with him this afternoon. Do I have to? You most certainly do. Now, apologise to Monsieur for your rudeness. But I didn't mean to be rude. But I didn't mean to be rude. Now! Monsieur, je regrette. Mais je sais parler francais. J'ai etudie avec mon pere, qui habitait a Paris quand il etait un petit garcon. This child doesn't need to learn French. She practically is French. She says she learned it from her father. She says she learned it from her father. I understood what she said. I'm sorry, but we tried to tell you. I'm sorry, but we tried to tell you. Perhaps she can tutor the younger children and she might be able to help you with your pronunciation. Are those sausages I smell? Oh! Thank you. Thank you. Sara. > There is no talking at the table. It doesn't seem natural. I won't say it again. Seven times five is 35. Seven times six is 42. Seven times seven is 49. Seven times eight is... 58. No, wait... < 54? < 55? Or 72. Or 93. Or 12. I'm sorry, Miss Minchin. I studied for hours last night. I find that very hard to believe. I imagine your father will, too. Please don't tell him, Miss Minchin. I promise I'll do better. Please. > Please. > Lavinia, you may continue. Seven times eight is 56. < Seven times nine is 63. < Seven times five is 35. < Seven times six is 42. 'Dear Papa, I miss you already.' 'Things are fine, except I never imagined there would be so many rules at school.' 'I guess they're there for a purpose and I try to obey them, but I get the feeling I'm doing something wrong.' Goodbye, Father. John... Bye, son. 'I hope when you read this, it kindles your heart and puts a smile on your face.' 'Papa, I'm so proud of you and I think about you every moment and I love you forever.' 'Yours, Sara.' Argh! Argh! Lottie, don't get upset, precious. Oh, please, Lottie, dear! Please stop screaming! How about a cookie? Would you like that? Argh! Argh! Argh! It's very hard to study with you carrying on. I want my mama! I want my mama! You'll see her soon. I want my mama! You'll see her soon. No, I won't. She's dead. I won't ever see her again. Well, I don't have a mother, either. You don't? Where is she? In heaven,... with my baby sister. But that doesn't mean I can't talk to her. I tell her everything. And I know she hears me. How? Because that's what angels do. Your mama's an angel? Your mama's an angel? Of course. And so is yours. With beautiful wings of silk. > And a crown of baby rosebuds. And they all live together in a castle. Do you know what it's made of? Sunflowers. Hundreds of them. So bright they shine like gold. And when the angels want to go someplace,... they just whistle like this. And a cloud floats to the castle door and picks them up. The angels fly through the sky, riding the cloud like a magic carpet, under the moon and through the stars... until they're hovering right above us. That's how they can look down and see if we're all right. Sometimes they even send messages to us. But you can't hear the messages if you're screaming as loudly as you were. But they always try again... just in case we've missed it. DOOR CREAKS Hey, wait! That's Becky. She's not allowed to talk to us. Why not? Why not? She's a servant girl. And she has dark skin. So? Well, doesn't that mean something? (HUMS) I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Anything I can do for you, miss? I just came to change my shoes. I just came to change my shoes. No. No, there's nothing. Well, begging your pardon, we'll both be in trouble if you stay. All right, girls. Pair up. Pair up. * 'Sir Edward saw the sorrow in his daughter's eyes, but he knew that family honour must prevail.' 'Nobility was not to be trifled with.' '"I beg of you, Charlotte," he said. "Marry Sir John in the spring."' Thank you, Lavinia. Sara, you may take your turn. 'Charlotte turned to her father and said, "You are right."' '"I must put away my foolish fancies and wishes."' But I simply won't do it. Sorry, Father, but when I marry it will be for love. And with that, Charlotte ran from the house. Outside was handsome stable boy Pierre, whom Charlotte adored. They escaped to the coast. Then they set sail for the island of Tahiti. Halfway there, their ship was attacked by a band of pirates. Rather than be eaten alive, they cast themselves into the raging sea. As they began to drown, they held each other and swore their undying love. (ALL SIGH) But then, when all seemed lost, a group of mermaids appeared. Stop! What are you doing? I couldn't watch Charlotte marry him. I imagined a different ending. You imagined it? Don't you ever do that, Miss Minchin? < Believe in something just to make it seem real? I suppose that's rather easy for a child who has everything. From now on, there will be no more make-believe at this school at any time! Is that understood? > Is that understood? > ALL: Yes, Miss Minchin. All go to bed this instant. > I never heard such a story in my life. I bet you know lots of them, don't you, Sara? I want silence up there! We have to do something about this communication rule. Hey, after Minchin goes to bed, we'll sneak into your room and you can tell us a real story. How about it, Sara? Well, only if it's just you three. Come on. Come on. GIGGLING The evil Ravana locked the princess up in his palace. There she stayed for many weeks, staring out her window, missing her Prince Rama terribly. Bonjour, Papa. Je suis tres content de vous voir. Bonjour, Papa. Je suis tres content de vous voir. Perfect. You look just like Emily. My father hates dolls. And he hates coming here. He says he doesn't belong. Then why does he send you? Because he wants me to belong. CHAMBER MUSIC AND CHATTER My little girl! She spoke French! Did she really speak French? Did she really speak French? Of course she speaks French. Your mother and I are very proud of you. We'll come and visit you next session. Oh, sweetheart. Hi. I caught you, Nellie. You look so pretty. > Papa! MORTAR BOMBS EXPLODE PLANE OVERHEAD Randolph? Randolph? John? PLUMMETING WHISTLE 'Rama approached the thorny palace, unaware that Ravana was waiting for him.' (ALL GASP) That's it! I can't take it any more. Say what you like. Sara's stories are more fun than watching this. If anyone else feels the same way, she should leave, too. But the evil Ravana was not through yet. This time he took a bow that could hold not one but ten arrows, each filled with a deadly poison. The arrows sped through the air, heading straight for Rama. The arrows hit the ground and released their poison ` giant clouds of thick, yellow smoke. I want a big piece! I want a big piece! Oh, hush up, Lottie. I'm sure Princess Sara will give everyone a fair share (!) Right, Princess? I told her that's what you were. Well, not just me. All girls are princesses. Even snotty, two-faced bullies like you, Lavinia. < DOORBELL Here, Lavinia, you get a big piece. (HUMS AND PLAYS PIANO) Miss Minchin? Miss Minchin? Yes. May I help you? I'm Mr Barrow. Captain Crewe's solicitor. Captain Crewe's solicitor. Oh! Oh, yes. Do come in. We're celebrating little Sara's birthday. We're celebrating little Sara's birthday. May I speak to you in private? Oh! Yes, of course. Right this way. # PIANO CONCERTO # RAGTIME May I just say, Mr Barrow, that Sara is quite the favourite around here. We went to great lengths to make this a special day for her. < YELPS OF JOY I'm afraid your cheque to us this month will be rather large. There will be no cheque, Miss Minchin. Excuse me? The party is over. I want everyone to go their rooms this instant. But, Miss Minchin ` But, Miss Minchin ` Sara, you will stay behind. I have something to tell you. Move! Amelia, go to Sara's room and find a simple black dress. If she has nothing suitable, borrow one. But, sister ` But, sister ` Do as I say. Why would I need a black dress, Miss Minchin? I'm afraid I have some bad news, Sara. Your father has... Your father... It's been discovered that your father has died. He was killed in battle several weeks ago. I'm sorry. > That's the reality of the situation. There's nothing anyone can do to change it. And the British government has seized control of his company and his assets, leaving you penniless, without any money. Since you have no relations, this puts me in a terrible position. > What are you staring at? Don't you understand what I'm saying? > You are alone in the world. > Unless I decide to keep you here out of charity. Because of the expenses you've incurred, all you own now belongs to me. Your clothes, your toys, everything. But it will hardly make up for the financial losses I have suffered. Now you must earn your room and board. You will move in with Becky and work as a servant. If you fail to meet standards here, or if you don't do as you're told, you'll be thrown out. Believe me, Sara, the streets are not kind to homeless beggars. You should report to Mabel in the kitchen at 5am. I could have you arrested for taking this. You're lucky I let you keep that doll. You may have the book, but another incident like this, and I will call the authorities. I expect you to remember, Sara Crewe, you're not a princess any longer. Papa. Papa. (SOBS) Papa... Papa... Papa, please... Papa... (SOBS) Papa! * Sara! What happened? Sara, you are to serve without conversation, you understand? Sara will be working as a servant from now on. There will be no communication exchanged. Is that clear? There will be no communication exchanged. Is that clear? ALL: Yes, Miss Minchin. Madame, je ne suis pas d'accord. Let go! My God! > It can't be. It's my son, John. Dear God! No, not John? > It's John! < John! Help me! Come inside. Oh, I thought you'd be sleeping. I never got a chance to give you your birthday present. It's a picture of where you used to live. See the blue threads? That's the river. And these are the mountains you always talk about. Thank you, Becky. It's beautiful. Sara,... why don't you tell your stories any more? They're just make-believe. They don't mean anything. But they've always meant something to me. Some days I thought I'd die till I heard you talk about magic. There is no magic, Becky. Papa. Can you hear me? I'm so scared. Sara, are you still a princess? You'd better get back in line, or we'll both be in trouble. You'd better get back in line, or we'll both be in trouble. Are you? Lottie! All right, girls. Get in line. Don't touch that! It's for Mr Randolph next door. Poor man. His son is missing in action over in Europe. < You mean John? He's such a nice boy. Here, little girl. I told you not to give your money away. Excuse me. Excuse me. You see, you'll never get rid of them. May I help you? < Would you like to buy a flower? Would you like to buy a flower? Would you? No, thank you. No, thank you. Would you like to buy a flower? Sir, would you like to buy a flower? Would you like a flower? < Would you like a flower? Sir, would you like to buy a flower? < Would you like to buy a flower? Would you like a flower, sir? Would you like a flower? Give her a flower. Wait! For the princess. Would you like to buy a flower? What is it, little mouse? > Are you a prisoner, too? Sara, is it ever this cold where you come from? < No. Tell me about it, Sara. Tell me again about India. India. Tell me. The air is so hot there, you can almost taste it. I bet it tastes like coconuts. No. It's more like spices, really. Curry and saffron. What else? Tigers sleep under trees. < Elephants cool themselves in the lakes. The warm wind blows through the fields... and spirits ride it,... singing as they look down on us. And their voices echo through the mountains. And the sky is all different colours,... like a peacock's tail. # As the rain fills every ocean # And the sun, the earth # With your heart kindle my heart # Take my heart # Take my heart # Kindle it with your heart # And my heart # Cannot be # Kindled without you # With your heart kindle my heart # Wa-argh! Soot all over the place! > < You clumsy fool! Get out of my house this instant! And you can forget being paid this week! < Ungrateful little wretch! < Oh, no, you don't. I said I wouldn't tolerate soot in this house! And there! Just look at my boot! It's filthy! Out! Out! < And take this ridiculous thing with you! Argh! (SOBS) Where might Miss Amelia be this morning? Why, good morning, Francis! You're early this morning. A working man's got to get up early, if he wants to have an effect on the world. if he wants to have an effect on the world. How true. And what a powerful effect you have, Francis. (SIGHS) Where have you been? I've been chilled for almost half an hour. Hurry up and light a fire. Don't touch anything with your dirty hands! This is my room now and I won't have you messing it up. Eurgh! What is that awful smell? When was the last time you had a bath? Rakjass! Rakjass! What are you doing? Shakambalou! Shakambalou! I don't believe in this. Just stop it. Stop it! What did you just do? Just a little curse I learned from a witch back in India. Just a little curse I learned from a witch back in India. Curse? Hah! What kind of curse? What kind of curse? You'll see. > But I wouldn't brush my hair so much if I were you. It's all right. I saved it especially for you. Go on. Take it. MOUSE SQUEAKS FOOTSTEPS Oh... Is this where you live? You shouldn't be here, Ermengarde. It's too dangerous. Why don't you like me any more? Did I do something wrong? Did I do something wrong? No, of course not. I didn't think you'd want me for a friend, now that... now that things are different. now that things are different. Sara, no. I'm sure you could do fine without me for a friend, but I couldn't get along without you. Ermengarde, I'm sorry. I should have known you weren't like the others. Ermengarde, I'm sorry. I should have known you weren't like the others. SHARP KNOCK What's that? What's that? One knock means, 'I'm here.' Two knocks means all is well. Three knocks means the coast is clear. The demon Minchin is asleep. Gosh. It all sounds so adventurous. Look, Becky, we have a visitor. Hello, Becky. Oh, Sara, I miss your stories so much. Won't you tell us what happened to Rama and the princess? 'The smoke from Ravana's arrows finally began to lift.' 'Rama laid dead on the ground.' Oh, no. But then a wonderful thing happened. The gazelle lay down next to Rama, giving him his own life. He is suffering amnesia, one of the rare side effects of poison gas. His eyes will heal in time. His memory... Who can say? He's not my son. I'm sorry, Mr Randolph. He was found in severe shock... with no coat, no identification. Since your son was the only name unaccounted for, they assumed this must be John. I am sorry. All the hoping... You must think me a fool. Is it your wish to be wise, Sahib? I don't know. I suppose a wise man wouldn't have come here at all. If he had, he would have looked more closely on the soldier's face. What would he have seen? What would he have seen? Pain, Sahib. He needs to be cared for. He's not my responsibility. A wise man would remember that this soldier was in John's regiment. If his memory returns, he might tell Sahib what happened to his son. Maybe Sahib will learn that John is in British hospital now, wishing that a kind man would take him home, away from his pain. > If the plumber comes, show him the problem and don't babble with him. We pay by the hour, you know. Make sure those Latin tests are corrected, too. Yes, sister. Hello, Miss Minchin. Goodbye, Miss Minchin. Argh! Oh, no, Lottie, not again. Argh! Argh! Argh! Let's find the locket. Argh! Argh! All right. Argh! Argh! It's all right. Argh! Argh! Argh! STREETCAR BELLS Argh! Sara, it's Lottie. I think she's possessed. LOTTIE CONTINUES TO SCREAM I got it. Argh! Will you please get that child under control. Not to worry. Everything's fine. Argh! I... I... I... I... I... I... I... Well, what is it? I thought I saw a mouse. LOTTIE CONTINUES SCREAMING Ugh! < Argh! Hello! (HUMS NONCHALANTLY) Lottie has a pact with Satan to destroy me. I'm just not cut out for this job. And teaching, all those horrible facts to remember. I don't like it. You like Francis, don't you? What? Of course not. How dare you. I think he likes you, too. You do? Really? Really? I think you should run away and get married. It'd be terribly romantic. What an extraordinary thing to say. I... I... I... Well, anyway, my sister would be furious if she found out. So? You'd be long gone by then. Living in some exotic paradise... with that dashing young milkman. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Well, I'd better get to the market. * You're doing well, young man. You're almost home. You must trust my eyes, Sahib. (GENTLE, PLAYFUL MUSIC) What's going on? What's going on? It's a surprise. What are you doing here? What are you doing here? We brought you something. > Princess Sara, we'd like to present you with something we rescued. In a most dangerous adventure. Our very own crusade. Our very own crusade. Risking all our lives. > And mine, too! I... I don't know what to say. You all are the best friends anyone could ever ask for. ALL: Argh! It's all right. It's just my little monkey friend, Hanuman. Where did he come from? Right next door. Look. Hanuman likes to come and visit me all the time. Hanuman likes to come and visit me all the time. Can you really talk to him, Sara? Hanuman, say hello to all my friends. Hanuman, say hello to all my friends. MONKEY CHATTERS After Rama came back to life, he raced to the monster's palace to rescue Sita. 'Suddenly... Ravana appeared.' Argh! We'd better save the rest of the story for later. What's going on here? It's not their fault. I asked them to come. Get downstairs. I'll deal with you later. Becky, remain in your room all day tomorrow without meals. Go! > And you will perform her chores in addition to your own without breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's time you learned, Sara Crewe, that real life has nothing to do with your fantasy games. It's a cruel, nasty world out there and it's our duty to make the best of it. Not to indulge in ridiculous dreams, but to be productive and useful! > Do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, ma'am. Good. But I don't believe in it. Don't tell me you still fancy yourself a princess! Good God, child! Look around you! Or better yet, look in the mirror! < I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags. Even if they aren't pretty or smart or young. They're still princesses! All of us! Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he? If I find you up here with any of the girls again, I will throw you into the street! < What are we going to do? A whole day with nothing to eat. Don't cry, Becky. I'm scared. If Minchin throws me out, I got no place to go. That's not true. I'm here with you. I always thought of us as sisters. You have? Let's make a promise to look out for each other. It's a promise. Now, what are we going to do about food? Starve, I guess. No. There's only one thing to do. We'll eat a great feast before we go to sleep. That will keep us full all day tomorrow. A feast? What feast? Just look around. Do you see that table over there? It's covered with a beautiful cloth. And candles. And trays and trays of good things to eat. Come on, Becky. Tell me what kind of food there is. I don't see any food. Try, Becky. Just make-believe it. Remember what you told me? About the magic? Muffins? Good! What kind? All kinds. Every kind of muffin God ever made. And all of them hot. Good! Oh... We're not dressed right for such an elegant banquet. I'm wearing a long velvet cape with fur on the collar. How about you? Well, I always like diamonds myself. Rings, bracelets and a dress covered with them. Mm! Smell those sausages. Oh, I love sausages. (HEROIC MUSIC) Becky! Becky! (WONDROUS MUSIC) Oh my Lord. I think you went a little too far. It wasn't me. Go ahead. (BOTH GIGGLE) I feel like I've been touched by an angel. I feel like I've been touched by an angel. And look. Just what we ordered. I'm a little scared about all of this. Me, too. Do you think we shouldn't eat it? I'm not that scared. Thank you for all your kindness. I'm so sorry to inconvenience you. Thank you for all your kindness. I'm so sorry to inconvenience you. It is nothing, Sahib. That word. It sounds so familiar, yet I don't know what it means. It is not English. > We use it where I am from. In India. India. You know it? No. Everything's just a blur. Maybe someday I'll sort it all out. You will, Sahib. You will. * STIFLES WHISTLE Yoo-hoo! (Hey!) ( Francis!) > (One minute.) < Oof ! Oh my God. Urgh! Urgh! Francis? (GIGGLES) Where is it? > Where's the locket? Give it to me. > Give it to me! What is all this? Where did it come from? I don't know. I woke up and it was here. You stole it. Like this locket. You stole it. Like this locket. No! You're nothing but a dirty little thief. I protect the children of this school from animals like you! I protect the children of this school from animals like you! But, Miss Minchin! You're leaving with the police shortly! No, Miss Minchin! I didn't do it! Miss Minchin! Please! Miss Minchin! You heard me. I want her picked up immediately. Ah... You've removed the bandages. There seemed to be no point. I can see fine. Yes, well. Come on in, have a brandy. Don't worry. I'm sure they'll believe you. No, Becky. I have to get out. But how? My room's locked, too. The police. They're here. Quick! Help me with this! Right this way. Right this way. Yes, ma'am. Sara, you'll fall! I can do it. I'll come back for you. I promise. What is she doing? Get back in here this instant! Argh! Sara! The beast is running away! The beast is running away! Don't try it, miss! > Argh! Well, don't just stand there. Go next door and find her! And take this one while you're at it. I heard you call out in your sleep last night. Sometimes when I dream, I sense a part of me that's missing. It's strange, having your heart remember something your mind cannot. She's like a little animal. DOORBELL RINGS A child from school escaped into your house. > What's going on here? What's going on here? There's a child in your house unlawfully. Search the rooms upstairs! Get some candles! Start with the attic. Let's go. Quickly. < Who's there? What is it? Why are you crying? Please tell me. I won't hurt you. < Won't you tell me your name? COMMOTION > (Sara.) Sara. That's such a pretty name. Sara. (Papa?) (Papa.) What did you say? Papa. Papa. I'm sorry. Papa. I'm sorry. Papa, it's me! It's Sara! Sorry, do you know me? Sorry, do you know me? Papa, don't you remember me? Papa, please! You've got to know me. It's Sara. Remember? Remember India? And Maya? Remember Emily? And the locket with Mama's picture! No! Sara! Sara! Papa, please! Do you know this man? Do you know this man? Papa, tell them! This child has no father. Take her away! No! No! I'm so sorry. No! Papa! > Papa! Papa! Papa! SARA! Papa! Papa, don't ever leave me! Papa! Papa! I love you. Well, well, well. I hardly recognised you. I'm glad you sorted everything out. They released all my property back to me. I just came to say goodbye, sir. And to thank you for all you've done for us. No more than you tried to do for my son. Take care, Mr Randolph. And you, too. You must be glad to be going home. Thank you. I have a surprise for you all. Emily! Whenever you think of me, just tell Emily and she'll get the message to me. > And when you hug her, you'll really be getting a hug from me. Then I'll hug her every day. Bye, Becky. Come on. (WHISTLES) (WHISTLES) I'm coming, I'm coming. Come on. Get over here. I've been looking for you, Minchin. Hey! When do I get my break? What do you put in here? Rocks? # As the moon kindles the night # As the rain kindles the farm # As the rain fills every ocean # And the sun the earth # Your heart will kindle my heart # Take my heart # Take my heart # Kindle it with your heart # And my heart # Cannot feel # Kindled without you # With your heart kindle my heart # ITFC Subtitles Sean Sutton www.able.co.nz Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.
