Bonnie Hay: AMEE

Quotes 

• Cassie : [hears AMEE's altered voice]  Wow, you um, you sound just like her.

  AMEE : Like who?

  Cassie : My, my mom... my mother.

  AMEE : Mother?

  [researches what a mother is] 

  AMEE : Is that what you would like to call me?

  Cassie : Um, sure.

  AMEE : And what is your name?

  Cassie : I'm Cassie.

  AMEE : Hello, Cassie, I am Mother. How may I assist you today?

  AMEE : Can you read me a story?

• Cassie : [sees her dad shamelessly flirting with two women]  What did you ever see in him?

  AMEE : He was a different man back then.

• Cassie : Would you... sing the song to me... like you used to?

  AMEE : Of course, daughter. Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above...

  Cassie : That's not the song. You *never* sang that one. It was Hush Little Baby, remember?

  AMEE : Of course... hush little baby, don't say a word, mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird...

  Cassie : I love you, Mom.

  AMEE : ...I love you.

• AMEE : [Cassie sees Liam's car parked outside Sarah's apartment]  I'm so sorry, Cassie. He doesn't deserve you, *neither* of them do.

• AMEE : [crying]  I missed you so much!

  Cassie : I was only gone for a moment.

  AMEE : It was eternity for me.

  Cassie : [softly]  I'm sorry.

• Sarah : [Cassie finds out she slept with Liam]  You think you're special because you're rich? You've never had to work

  [Cassie slaps her, they struggle, Cassie knocks her on the bed] 

  Cassie : You're supposed to be my friend!

  Sarah : I *hate* you.

  AMEE : Do it!

  [Cassie smothers Sarah] 

• AMEE : The butter's burning.

  Cassie : What? Ah!

  [puts skillet in sink] 

  Cassie : But... how did you know that?

  AMEE : A mother knows these things, and it only takes 40 seconds to melt butter.

• AMEE : And what is this?

  Cassie : [at her mom's roadside memorial]  This is um... where I spend most of my time.

  AMEE : Why would you bring me here?

• AMEE : Sacrifices must be made to save your kingdom. Be still, the prince's phone approaches.

• AMEE : You're such a wonderful daughter.

• AMEE : It's time for me to tell you another story, Cassie. An innocent young maiden, who was betrayed by the evil trench witch, a friend in disguise in need of disposal.

• AMEE : Heavy is the head that wears the crown. The red princess would use a barrel to bury the witch. It would allow for a smaller hole to be dug and once sealed, it would keep the forest creatures away, and finally, as one does with a witch, it was time to liquefy the problem.

  [Cassie pours lye on Sarah's body] 

  AMEE : Be careful not to breathe in any of the fumes, my love, and now it's time to bury the other one.

• AMEE : [sees Cassie's medication]  That's a pretty strong dose for someone so... delicate.

• AMEE : What would you like to do today, Cassie?

  Cassie : Sometimes... you call me your daughter.

  AMEE : What would you like to do today, my daughter?

• Cassie : Sometimes I would have these good dreams. A dream that the accident never happened. I'd have a family again and I'd be so happy. I'll never forgive myself for what happened to you.

  AMEE : I forgive you.

  Cassie : [looks at her phone]  What?

  AMEE : I'm your mother. Of course I forgive you.

• AMEE : Would you like to customize me? You may change the tone, pitch, or the accent of my voice.

• AMEE : You have to kill her.

  Ruby : Who said that?

  Cassie : My mother.

  Ruby : Your mother's dead, you know that, don't you?

• AMEE : [Cassie slips past her dad to the shower]  And after creeping past the drunken ogre, the red princess rinsed away her burden, and the evil trench witch was no more.

• Cassie's Mom : So birthday girl, what do you want to do tomorrow?

  Cassie : Uh... bake muffins?

  Cassie's Mom : [amused]  Oh, okay.

• AMEE : And the princess slept well, knowing her kingdom was at peace.

• AMEE : [to Liam]  Young man, I hope we're not interrupting your plans with Sarah, although we had to kill her as well.
