People use the color yellow
To symbolize hope.
Yellow...
Like the sun
we rarely saw.
When I was very young,
Like one long and perfect
summer day.
After all,
it started out that way.
We were
four beautiful children
With blond hair
and porcelain skin.
We looked like
That grace shelves
and mantels.
Only we weren't just admired.
We were really loved.
But that was before.
"life is full of surprises,"
my mother used to say.
And greed and fear and shame,
as I soon learned.
And hopelessness.
We never colored
even one of our paper flowers
Yellow.
Give them back, Christopher.
Not until you quit
pounding on my wall, you freak.
Hey. What do you kids
think you're doing?
I don't even get a hug?
Dad!
Daddy!
Oh! I missed you all so much!
What did you bring us?
For you, son.
Thank you.
Mm!
I could never forget about you.
It's so beautiful.
Oh! I got you!
Oh!
I wish you never had to go away
For work again.
Promise me you won't.
I hate to break up the party,
But dinner's almost ready,
and I made your favorite--
Homemade apple pie.
Corrine, you shouldn't have.
She didn't.
You forgot to take off the bakery label.
Ugh. Cathy! Could never
get anything past you, huh?
Yeah, mom.
What's going on?
I mean, you're wearing
a new dress and perfume.
Well, the wife of a vice-president
Can't wear just any old thing.
I was gonna wait
until it was 100% official,
But I got promoted,
And I'm now the head of sales
of the entire east coast.
That's great!
Thank you.
He got promoted!
He's so smart, that's why.
Nobody's here.
Cathy...
Hey.
This is a big opportunity for me.
For all of us.
I know what's gonna happen.
You'll be away all the time.
Mom will be busy with the twins.
Christopher will act like
he's the man of the house.
I'll be totally forgotten.
Can I tell you a secret?
I bought this...
On my last trip,
And it's more money
than I should've spent,
But the moment I saw it,
I knew you had to have it.
So, when I'm traveling,
I need you to be strong.
Can you do that for me?
Mommy! Cathy's hurting me!
It wouldn't hurt so much
If you'd sit still for five seconds.
Girls, please.
Your dad's gonna be home
in less than two hours,
I need to ice the cake,
chill the champagne--
Where are your brothers?
Why do I have to wear a tie?
'Cause we're the "dresden dolls."
I don't wanna be a doll.
It's just a saying, darling.
Because the neighbors
think we look so perfect.
We are perfect.
Why isn't he here yet?
He's probably just stuck in traffic.
When are we gonna eat the cake?
I want it now!
Can I take off my tie, please?
Just be patient, darlings, okay?
I'm going to go freshen the ice.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I hear someone in the driveway.
Mrs. Dollanganger?
I'm sorry, but, um...
There's been an accident.
Mama?
Mom?
Alright, guys, five more minutes.
No.
Remember? We told you.
He died.
Sometimes, when I really miss him,
I just pretend he's on a business trip
And that he'll be back any day.
You guys wash up for dinner.
Mom, um, the twins want you
to read them a story.
Is that the mail?
Madame pomfrey says
I can't stay in ballet class,
Unless we pay for last month.
Are we gonna be okay without dad?
I'm doing the best I can.
It's not easy for a woman to get a job
And to support four kids on her own.
Look at me, I'm an ornament.
The only thing I was ever good at
Was being pretty.
You know...
You're lucky.
You had a dad that
