[NEVILLE, spoken]
Mary Lennox, it is my task to find you a suitable school to go to

[MARY, spoken]
But I can't leave now
Colin needs me

[NEVILLE, spoken]
The last thing the boy needs is you
You have no idea how ill he is
Do you want him to die?

[MARY, spoken]
To die?
I didn't do anything
You locked him up in his room

[NEVILLE, spoken]
You may go

[MARY, spoken]
You don't want Colin to get well at all
You want him to die so you can have this house!

[NEVILLE slaps MARY.]
[NEVILLE, spoken]
You will leave Saturday week

[MARY, spoken]
Martha, Colin's going to die and it's all my fault

[MARTHA, spoken]
And what have you done for Colin except get him goin' outside every day
And get him eatin' his food
And gettin' him believin' he can get strong again?
