WARDEN:

...Caffeine, cocaine or opium? Arm length: 31 inches... The matrons are on the way. So don't get too cozy. Put off that cigarette!

GWEN:

Ever had McGonagall before? She's fine... as long as you keep her happy.

LEE JORDAN:

And now, ladies and gentlemen. The keeper of the keys, the countess of the clink, the mistress of murderers' row. Matron Mama McGonagall!

MAMA MCGONAGALL:

Ask any of the chickies in my pen

They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen

I love 'em all and all of them love me

Because the system works

The system called reciprocity...

WARDEN:

On your feet.

MAMA MCGONAGALL:

Welcome, ladies.

Got a little motto

Always sees me through

"When you're good to Mama

Mama's good to you".

You might think l'd make your life a living hell, which is not true.

There's a lot of favors

I'm prepared to do

You do one for Mama

She'll do one for you.

l'd be your friend if you let me. So if something upsets you or makes you unhappy in any way, don't shoot your fat-ass mouth on me 'cause l won't give a shit. Now move it out.

They say that life is tit for tat

And that's the way I live

So, I deserve a lot of tat

For what I've got to give

Don't you know that this hand

Washes that one too

When you're good to Mama

Mama's good to you!

WARDEN:

Let's go!

MAMA MCGONAGALL:

You must be Krum. You're a pretty one.

HERMIONE:

Thank you, ma'am.

MAMA MCGONAGALL:

Why don't you call me Mama? We can take care of you. You'd be happy taken down in this block. Murderers' Row, we called it.

HERMIONE:

Oh, is that nicer? I don't think I'm really belonging here. I didn't actually

do anything wrong.

MAMA MCGONAGALL:

Don't need to tell me, honey. I've never heard of a man getting killed. When I get used to - just come to talk

GINNY:

Hey, mama. Come here.

HERMIONE:

Ginny Weasley? You're the Ginny Weasley? You know I was there that night? I was there that night that you got arrested.

GINNY:

Yeah, you're & half of Hogsmeade. Look at this, Mama. Another story of

denouncing me in Witch Weekly magazine. "Not in memory do we recall so horrible a double homicide."

MAMA MCGONAGALL:

Maybe you couldn't buy that kind of publicity.

GINNY:

Couldn't buy it? I guess I can keep these then.

MAMA MCGONAGALL:

Let's try.

If you want my gravy

Pepper my ragout

Spice it up for Mama

She'll get hot for you

When they pass that basket

Folk contribute to

You put in for Mama

She'll put out for you

The folks atop the ladder

Are the ones the world adores

So boost me up my ladder, Kid

And I'll boost you up yours

Let's all stroke together

Like the Princeton crew

When you're strokin' Mama

Mama's strokin' you

So what's the one conclusion

I can bring this number to?

When you're good to Mama

Mama's good to you!

HERMIONE:

Mama? It's... kinda freezing in here. You don't think maybe there's something wrong with the heat? Not that I'm complaining, mind you but... you know... if you can bring some blankets on the way...

MAMA MCGONAGALL:

Lights out, ladies.
