Queen Elinor:
[
after Merida's actions at the clan gathering, Elinor drags and throws Merida into the tapestry room]
I don't believe you! I've just about had enough of you, lass!
Princess Merida:
YOU'RE the one that wants me to...!
Queen Elinor:
You embarrassed them! You embarrassed me!
Princess Merida: I followed the rules!
Queen Elinor:
You don't know what you've done!
Princess Merida:
I just don't care how...
Queen Elinor:
There'll be fire and sword if it's not set right.
Princess Merida:
Just listen!
Queen Elinor:
I AM THE QUEEN! YOU listen to ME!
Princess Merida:
OH! This is so unfair!
Queen Elinor:
Huh! Unfair?
Princess Merida:
[
grabs a sword and swings it around angrily]
You were never there for me! This whole marriage is what YOU want! Do
you ever bother to ask what I want? No! You walk around telling me
what to do, what not to do! Trying to make me be like you! Well, I'm not
going to be like you!
Queen Elinor:
Ach! You're acting like a child!
Princess Merida:
And YOU'RE a beast!
[
points her sword at the family tapestry that Elinor had been working on]
Princess Merida:
That's what you are!
Queen Elinor:
[
gasps]
Merida!
Princess Merida:
[
sticks the tip of her sword into the tapestry]
I'll never be like you!
Queen Elinor:
No! Stop that!
Princess Merida:
I'd rather DIE than be like you!
[
Suddenly, Merida slashes the tapestry, a line
between the images of Elinor and herself. Elinor gasps in shock; Merida
just stares at her angrily. Furious at what Merida said and did, Elinor
marches up to her]
Queen Elinor:
Merida, you are a princess!
[
She takes the sword from Merida and tosses it aside. She then grabs Merida's bow]
Queen Elinor:
I expect you to act like one!
[
She throws Merida's bow into the fire. Shocked at her mother, Merida runs out of the room in tears]
Queen Elinor:
Merida! Merida!
[
immediately regrets her actions and pulls the bow out of the fire; however it's already ruined]
Queen Elinor:
Oh, no! What have I done?
