Why are you dancing?

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

You're laughing at me.

Well, I'm laughing at me, too,

but it's not funny, Kenneth.

"To the surface and dissolve

"into the consciousness

of the human race

to fertilize the seed

of evolutionary growth."

The fullness of your bliss,

I feel it.

I feel it all.

Crazy witches! Ha ha!

Don't look at me.

Stand.

You are not to fraternize

with any of these girls.

But, Miss Mantel... No buts.

We'd like you

to observe silence

in the corridors and

the communal areas.

You will not attend assemblies,

and you'll be

taking games alone.

On now.

They stink.

May I have absolute silence?

I want to hear a pin drop.

We're very fortunate

to have Mrs. Maud Leese

from the Stockshire

Women's Circle joining us today

to give a talk entitled

"Accidents in the Home."

Good morning.

I wonder how many girls

are aware of the work

of the Women's Circle.

I see.

Well, I have brought leaflets

that can be given out

afterwards.

As Miss Alvaro has informed you,

I'm here today to talk

about accidents in the home.

Unfortunately, your home

is the place where...

I'm sorry.

Accidents are most

likely to occur.

Girls.

They are frequently

either burns or...

Girls. For crying out loud.

I'm so sorry.

Oh...

"Everything that lives

"serves the purposes

of the earth.

"Everything that dies

serves the moon.

"Everything that lives serves

the purposes of the earth.

Everything that dies..."

Now, girls...

"Everything that dies

serves to moon."

Now today

I'm going to talk to you

about the devil.

The devil can enter you

in many ways.

So please cross you legs.

I feel so crummy.

"Accidents in the..."

"Accidents in the Home."

I have brought leaflets

which can be given out.

Shows the test results.

I haven't got a decent coat.

Go on, mum.

Do it for me,

for me.

Take anything she might need.

Good idea.

Why can't you care?

That what you were doing?

Mm...

The school has been shut down.

Shh!

Kenneth Nevercan.

You're the brother. Yep.

You must believe

something's wrong now.

I suppose all this

can't be from nothing.

It's them and us, Titch.

Don't look at me like that.

You make me feel

I'm making this up.

If it's how you feel,

it's how you feel.

Right.

I don't know.

It's like Ouspensky said...

"To be free,

one must be conscious."

Seems simple,

but it's not simple.

It's all about...

perception.

Sometimes I wonder who you see

when you look at me.

I see my friend Lydia,

and I see a powerful

personality.

"Powerful."

Nobody knows

who I am anymore...

Yeah? Yeah.

Yeah.

What I'm really like...

what I think about doing.

I wanted you to know

I've been discharged,

most of the other girls, too.
