Franc Ashman: Christine

Quotes 

• [interior, parlor, night, looking at Amelia's painting of the night sky] 

  Christine : It's a lovely painting, Amelia. And what are all these?

  [psychiatrist Christine indicates the colorful pentagrams] 

  Amelia : Stars.

  Aunt Sharon : Oh, Amelia!

  Christine : Tell you what, shall we go outside?

  [outside, at night] 

  Christine : What do you see, Amelia?

  Amelia : The Moon.

  Christine : And what else?

  Amelia : Just the dark.

  Christine : But no stars. If there were stars up there, we'd be able to see them, wouldn't we? Amelia, look at me. You know this is all just a story, don't you? You know there's no such thing as stars.

  [Amelia says nothing but looks up at the sky. Later, she is lying in bed and hears her aunt and the psychiatrist talking. She walks slowly to the top of the stairs where the voices are much clearer, and watches as they cross from the kitchen to the parlor] 

  Christine : It's quite common, actually. Throughout history, people have talked about stars in the sky. God knows where it comes from.

  Aunt Sharon : I just don't want her growing up and joining one of those Star Cults. I don't trust that Richard Dawkins.
