“Smells Chocolatey, Eh?”

Mara Wilson: People sometimes tell me Bruce Bogtrotter eating the cake in Matilda was one of the most stressful things they’d experienced as a kid. I always want to say “In that case, I’m really glad you had a happy childhood.”

Selma G.: And I was just sitting there all jealous wanting some cake. 😐

Will O.: I think all the little girls being physically brutalized was a bit worse

Selma G.: Roald Dahl that stinker!
