    [pause]

    Juliet Hulme: [stands] You should have written "vînt".

  • [last lines]

    [the last lines show scenes of the murder intercut with b&w shots of Juliet being taken away by her parents on the ship. Pauline and Juliet are sobbing and screaming for each other; and the girls scream as they beat Honorah Parker to death]

  • [first lines]

    [Director Peter Jackson opens with the scene that should, logically, end the film: that is, the moments immediately following the murder. The girls Juliet and Pauline run screaming up the hill-path to the tea-house, sobbing and covered in blood. The scene is intercut with b&w visions of the two running across a ship deck to meet Dr. and Mrs. Hulme, whom they both refer to as their mother, as the first three exclamations of "Mummy!" demonstrate]

    Juliet Hulme: Mummy!

    Pauline Parker: Mummy!

    Juliet Hulme: Mummmmy!

    Pauline Parker: Oh, I can't wait to do the love scenes.

    Juliet Hulme: Ooh.

    Pauline Parker: But what if they're married?

    Juliet Hulme: Oh, don't worry about that. We'll simply 'moider' any odd wives that get in our way!

  • Juliet Hulme: Daddy says the Bible is a load of bunkum.

    Pauline Parker: But we're all going to Heaven.

    Juliet Hulme: I'm not. I'm going to the Fourth World. It's sort of like Heaven, only better, because there aren't any Christians. It's an absolute paradise of music, art and pure enjoyment.

  • Juliet Hulme: Stick it up your bottom!

  • Juliet Hulme: Bloody Bill's sniffing around Mummy something chronic!

    Pauline Parker: I thought he was supposed to be terribly ill.
