[MATILDA]
At night, the escapologist's daughter cried herself to sleep, alone in her room. She never said a single word about the evil aunt's bullying, as she didn't want to cause a fuss, and so she suffered in silence. This only encouraged the woman to greater cruelties, until one day, she exploded!
[MATILDA and ACROBAT'S SISTER]
"You are a useless! Filthy! Nasty little creep!"
[MATILDA]
And she beat her, threw her into a dank, dark, dusty cellar, locked the door, and went out
But that day, the escapologist happened to come home early. And when he heard the sound of his daughter's tears . . . he smashed the door open!
[ESCAPOLOGIST]
Don't cry
I am here, little girl
Please don't cry
Dry your eyes
Wipe away your tears, little girl
Forgive me
I didn't mean to desert you
Don't cry, little girl
Nothing can hurt you
You've nothing to fear
I'm here
[MATILDA and ESCAPOLOGIST]
"Have I been so wrapped up in my grief for my wife that I have forgotten the one thing that matters to us most? I love you so much, my daughter. I shall spend the rest of my life making it up to you. We shall be together, forever."
