The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter Enola is sent to a strict finishing school, the headmistress greets her with a lesson in manners, posture, speech, and obedience. What sounds like a promise of happiness gradually reveals a program for turning independent girls into acceptable wives. Enola’s brief questions about her mother cut through the polished performance. The scene is useful for hearing formal instructions, passive structures, and vivid idiomatic phrases.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageWelcome Girls you are here for one reason bell dinging and one reason only You are here to be made into young ladies How do we laugh We laugh politely You all have the potential but you are untapped untested grunts and most of all untrained Walk as we show you to Eyes up Up up up Speak as we tell you to Act think be as we tell you and you ll become acceptable wives and responsible mothers Follow the path of so many girls who once stood where you do now And just as we molded them so shall we you Do you know why I am an educator It s because I want to make people happy I want you to live a full and vibrant life Not with anger and endless questions but with answers I prepare my girls for the world for the real world I would never abandon you and leave you to fend for yourself
