The Secret Garden
By Frances Hodgson Burnett
Mary Lennox: I'm a sourpuss. Spit. Hiss.
(She goes off to live in her uncle's MANSION on a DESOLATE MOOR, and then discovers the SECRET GARDEN thanks to a friendly ROBIN.)
Mary Lennox: Wow! Now I'm no longer a sourpuss.
Colin Craven: I'm a sourpuss as well. Not to mention an annoying hypochondriac. I'm a sick cripple because I think I'm a sick cripple!
Mary Lennox: Oh YEAH? Well, I'll set you straight, ya PUNK!
(She is very MEAN and SCARY to Colin, further proving that she has some serious ISSUES. She and her friend Dickon then take him to the SECRET GARDEN)
Colin: Wow! I'm no longer a sourpuss. Let's skip and frolic in the garden.
(They do)
Archibald Craven (Mary's uncle and Colin's father): I too am a sourpuss, with very many personal issues, all related to the death of my wife (which took place in the SECRET GARDEN).
(He discovers the children in the SECRET GARDEN.)
Archibald Craven: Wow! Having entered the garden that caused so many of my emotional problems, I am cured of them. Let us frolic and be merry.
All: OK!
Dickon: 'Tis the magic of the garden.
