Monologue From The Crucible

They're lying! Why would I poison them?
Where would I even...

That's not mine.

That's not mine. Hazel put it there.

Admit it, you witch, you did this!

We all saw the results in the WhatsApp group.

Your child failed the last maths test.

Hey, dummy...

stop talking rubbish.
The results are not out yet.

Who's this?

Close your mouth before a fly goes in.

Look here, next time you and your daughter have tea...

remember who the real dummy is. Dummy!

Half a million rand and I'll keep all your secrets.

Who do you think you're dealing with, Rachel?

A very rich man with dirty secrets that I could reveal.

- So you're the one who hacked into my computer?
- Do we have a deal or not?

The only deal you're striking...

is with the cops.

Hello? …show more content…
when those things fell out of Candice's bag.

Koko, we were all disappointed.

Hating someone is one thing, but...

putting Epsom salts in their food?

Candice has lost it.

Kat, are you sure she really did it?

Mma, the Epsom salts fell out of her bag.

What if someone planted them in her bag?

I wish I could say she didn't do it, but the Candice I used to know is gone.

- She's changed.
- People don't just change.

Something must've happened to change her.

Well, I don't know. She even had the nerve to blame everything on Hazel.

Hazel? Why?

That's what we were asking ourselves. Because
Hazel and Esmeralda ate her food and fell sick.

Why would Hazel poison herself?

Are they alright?

Yes, they're alright. When the Epsom salts fell out of Candice's bag...

Chef Marlene was so furious she took her to the dean's office.

I can't believe it.
Why would she put Epsom salts?

Apparently, she was so upset...

she couldn't talk.
So they gave her some time to think...

and come up with a convincing story to explain her actions.

Maphosa, how are you?

- Can we have a word?
- Not now, Cindy.

The month's almost done.

I just want to talk about the books.
It'll be …show more content…
So I think I should go to him myself...

to find out what's going on.

No, Mama. For what?

Just give him some time.

They said they'd post them.
Now we don't know what's going on.

They asked us to be involved.

So I, Pretty's mom, want to be involved.

You don't have to go.

I'll ask him for you.
Let me go fetch my blazer.

Bye-bye.

- Enjoy your day.
- Bye.

Bye.

Katlego, wait a minute.

- Mma's waiting outside.
- It won't take long.

Sit down.

Tell me, have you spoken to Candice yet?

For what, Koko?

Just because she made a mistake...

doesn't mean you must abandon her...

when the whole school is judging her. No.

I have nothing to say to her.

You two used to love each other.

She used to brighten up your days.

But that's over.

Katlego Petersen, I didn't raise you to be so heartless.

You should console her.

But...

No buts. I'm serious.

Now...

she needs your support more than ever.

Okay? Yes.

So do that.

Relax, Rachel. Maybe he's been too busy to respond to your messages.

No, Emkay. Something's up.

He can't be that busy.

He's been avoiding my messages since Friday.

- So what do you think is going on?
- I don't know.

Maybe I should've asked for less money.
Or maybe...

Relax. Relax,
