MISS TRUNCHBULL has discovered that someone ate her snack and summons the entire school to the assembly room for an interrogation.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
The entire school will go to the assembly room immediately! Sit!
MATILDA:
(Quietly walking to the assembly room) What's up?
LAVENDER:
Beats me.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
Bruce Bogtrotter. Would little Brucey come up here?
LAVENDER:
He lives on my block.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
(Pointing at BRUCE with her horse whip) This boy, Bruce Bogtrotter, is a vicious sneak thief. You're a disgusting criminal.
BRUCE BOGTROTTER:
What are you talking about?
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
Chocolate cake. You slithered like a serpent into the kitchen and ate my snack! Do you deny it? Confess!
BRUCE BOGTROTTER:
I can't remember a specific cake.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
This one was mine. It was the best cake in the world.
BRUCE BOGTROTTER:
My mom's is better.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
How can you be sure unless you have another piece?
Sit down, Bog.
Sit down, Bog.
MATILDA:
Here we go.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
(Puts a small chocolate cake under his nose) Smells chocolaty, eh? Now. eat it!
BRUCE BOGTROTTER:
I don't want any. Thank you.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
Eat it!
MATILDA:
Don't eat it.
LAVENDER:
She wouldn't give him cake. It's poison.
BRUCE BOGTROTTER:
(BRUCE eats the small cake) You look like you enjoyed that.
Yes. ma'am.
Yes. ma'am.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
You must have some more.
BRUCE BOGTROTTER:
No thanks.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
But you'll hurt the cook's feelings. She made this cake just for you. (MISS TRUNCHBULL takes an enormous chocolate cake from the cook and puts it in front of BRUCE) Her sweat and blood went into this cake. You will not leave this platform until you have eaten the whole cake!
BRUCE BOGTROTTER:
The whole cake? See you at lunch.
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
Thank you, Cookie. You wanted cake, you got cake. Now eat it! (BRUCE delves into the enormous cake and starts to eat it)
LAVENDER:
Poor Brucey.
MATILDA:
He's going to puke.
LAVENDER:
I can't look. Is he going to puke?
MATILDA:
Without a doubt.
LAVENDER:
Bruce looks real bad.
MATILDA:
Give up?
LAVENDER:
You can do it, Brucey! MATILDA & LAVENDER: Yeah, you can do it! Go. Bruce! (BRUCE is encouraged by the cheering and finishes the cake and stands and raises his arms triumphantly) MATILDA & LAVENDER: Hoorrrayyy!!! Well done!!! Go Bucey!!! Yeaahhh!!!
MISS TRUNCHBULL:
Silence! Stop! Silence! The entire assembly will stay five hours after school! Any children who object will go straight into the Chokey. Together!
