People use the color yellow
To symbolize hope.
Yellow...
Like the sun
we rarely saw.
When I was very young,
Like one long and perfect
summer day.
After all,
it started out that way.
We were
four beautiful children
With blond hair
and porcelain skin.
We looked like
That grace shelves
and mantels.
Only we weren't just admired.
We were really loved.
But that was before.
"life is full of surprises,"
my mother used to say.
And greed and fear and shame,
as I soon learned.
And hopelessness.
We never colored
even one of our paper flowers
Yellow.
Give them back, Christopher.
Not until you quit
pounding on my wall, you freak.
Hey. What do you kids
think you're doing?
I don't even get a hug?
Dad!
Daddy!
Oh! I missed you all so much!
What did you bring us?
For you, son.
Thank you.
Mm!
I could never forget about you.
It's so beautiful.
Oh! I got you!
Oh!
I wish you never had to go away
For work again.
Promise me you won't.
I hate to break up the party,
But dinner's almost ready,
and I made your favorite--
Homemade apple pie.
Corrine, you shouldn't have.
She didn't.
You forgot to take off the bakery label.
Ugh. Cathy! Could never
get anything past you, huh?
Yeah, mom.
What's going on?
I mean, you're wearing
a new dress and perfume.
Well, the wife of a vice-president
Can't wear just any old thing.
I was gonna wait
until it was 100% official,
But I got promoted,
And I'm now the head of sales
of the entire east coast.
That's great!
Thank you.
He got promoted!
He's so smart, that's why.
Nobody's here.
Cathy...
Hey.
This is a big opportunity for me.
For all of us.
I know what's gonna happen.
You'll be away all the time.
Mom will be busy with the twins.
Christopher will act like
he's the man of the house.
I'll be totally forgotten.
Can I tell you a secret?
I bought this...
On my last trip,
And it's more money
than I should've spent,
But the moment I saw it,
I knew you had to have it.
So, when I'm traveling,
I need you to be strong.
Can you do that for me?
Mommy! Cathy's hurting me!
It wouldn't hurt so much
If you'd sit still for five seconds.
Girls, please.
Your dad's gonna be home
in less than two hours,
I need to ice the cake,
chill the champagne--
Where are your brothers?
Why do I have to wear a tie?
'Cause we're the "dresden dolls."
I don't wanna be a doll.
It's just a saying, darling.
Because the neighbors
think we look so perfect.
We are perfect.
Why isn't he here yet?
He's probably just stuck in traffic.
When are we gonna eat the cake?
I want it now!
Can I take off my tie, please?
Just be patient, darlings, okay?
I'm going to go freshen the ice.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I hear someone in the driveway.
Mrs. Dollanganger?
I'm sorry, but, um...
There's been an accident.
Mama?
Mom?
Alright, guys, five more minutes.
No.
Remember? We told you.
He died.
Sometimes, when I really miss him,
I just pretend he's on a business trip
And that he'll be back any day.
You guys wash up for dinner.
Mom, um, the twins want you
to read them a story.
Is that the mail?
Madame pomfrey says
I can't stay in ballet class,
Unless we pay for last month.
Are we gonna be okay without dad?
I'm doing the best I can.
It's not easy for a woman to get a job
And to support four kids on her own.
Look at me, I'm an ornament.
The only thing I was ever good at
Was being pretty.
You know...
You're lucky.
You had a dad that
thought you were special.
Because I'm just like you.
Well, in looks, maybe,
But you're more aggressive
and determined.
You're just like his mother,
And he loved his mother.
Doesn't everyone love their mother?
Some mothers are impossible to love.
They don't act like mothers at all.
Have christopher read
the twins a story,
And put this in the mailbox for tomorrow.
Another one? But you already sent--
It's late.
You should finish your homework.
Cathy, christopher!
Come inside, now.
You know all those letters I sent?
Well, I finally got a response.
It's all working out as I'd hoped.
We can go live with your grandmother,
In virginia.
What grandmother?
You and dad said
That we never had any family.
Well...
It's complicated.
My parents and I,
we didn't see eye-to-eye,
So we thought it was best
to keep our distance,
But with your father gone,
This is our best hope for now.
What about school?
And all of our friends?
My ballet classes?
You two are old enough
to understand,
To help your mother
out of a desperate situation.
But we still have the house,
And I can get a part-time job,
Cathy can help out more
with the twins.
People have a way of believing
That nothing bad can ever happen.
And your father was doing so well
At his job, so...
We charged against our future.
What do you mean?
Nothing here is really ours.
Not the furniture,
the cars, your toys...
N-not even this necklace.
It's been four months,
And I've been holding them at bay,
But the bank is gonna
come and take it all away.
Look, I know it sounds scary,
But I've saved the best news
for last.
My family is rich.
Not middle-class rich,
but unbelievably wealthy,
And they have one of the finest
homes in all of virginia,
With servants,
And acres of land,
and their very own lake.
Wait till we tell
everyone at school.
We leave tonight.
Tonight?
It's our only choice.
I know it's hard,
But I promise you,
Whatever you leave behind,
I'll buy you a thousand more
in virginia.
You won't miss a thing.
Don't worry, mom.
We're dollangangers.
We'll be happy wherever.
I knew I could count
on you, christopher.
And one more thing...
Our name isn't really dollanganger.
It's foxworth.
I bet the house is huge.
I mean, you could have
your own dance studio
With costumes and a grand piano.
I wouldn't even hear you.
You'll be out exploring
the woods and the lake.
Way better than any boring biology class.
Ma'am?
We'll reach your depot
in a few minutes.
Thank you.
You're sure you wouldn't rather
Get off in charlottesville?
It's 3:
00 a.M.,In the middle of nowhere.
Oh, thank you.
Just the children's bag.
Someone will pick up mine tomorrow.
Thank you.
Have a good night.
Godspeed, Mrs. Patterson.
I thought you said
We should be there
before the sun breaks.
It's a long walk.
How long?
I can't carry the twins.
Well, let them walk.
The country air
will do them good.
Where are we going?
I wanna go back home now!
Just a little further,
and everything will be alright.
Yes. If that's what mom said.
This is foxworth hall.
Okay, cory, blow your nose, okay?
Okay. Good. Good.
Okay, cathy, button this button.
Hello, mother.
Well...
Look what the cat dragged in.
Shh.
Shh.
Thank you for taking us in, mother.
I don't know
