[From the Trailer]

Madeline: Hello, Lord Cucuface!

Lord Covington: What did you call me?

[Helene and Miss Clavel are playing cards late at night, unbeknownst to them the girls are sneaking in the kitchen]

Helene: Give me a Jack!

Miss Clavel: [unfazingly] Go fish.

[Helene takes a card from the pile while eyeing Miss Clavel suspiciously.]

Lady Covington: When I was 9, on the baseboard in the dortoir, I carved my name.

Madeline: You carved "Lady Covington"?

Lady Covington: [chuckles] No. No, my name was Marie Gilbert. [Whispers] Marie Gilbert. See if it's still there.

Madeline: Marie Gilbert.

Lord Covington: Who gave you permission to be in here?

Madeline: Nobody, Lord, um, Covington.

Lord Covington: [to Madeline] This is a hospital. It's not a playroom. You're not allowed to just wander around.

Madeline: Yes, sir.

Miss Clavel: Something is not right. What? What is it?
