COSTUME APPRECIATION Agnes van Rhijn, The Gilded Age

[holly-mckenzie]

You've come to cut through this heart of mine. Death by your hands is peace to me. Kill me. Kill me. Kill me.

[holly-mckenzie]

You mean to oppose the emperor, destroy the kingdom? You want to divide the Chola kingdom? You’ll divide it? Dividing the kingdom is like dividing a mother’s heart.

[holly-mckenzie]

I leave for Thanjavur today. The King has ordered that I shall accompany him to war. To war? At your age? I may not return for a year or two.

To forget her, I must first cut my heart out. She was mine since childhood.

This sword was meant for me. A Pandyan sword? Good. Then it must covet my head. Tell me. Why did you... Why did you invite me here? Do not say it was to reach a compromise. I would not believe you.

I thought you would've forgotten the past. And you? Have you forgotten it?

PONNIYIN SELVAN: II dir. by Mani Ratnmam

[holly-mckenzie]

Someone might see us. Let them. I'm not supposed to talk to you. On whose orders? The Princess. Kundavai? Why? I am an orphan. No one known my family background.

PONNIYIN SELVAN: II dir. by Mani Ratnmam

[holly-mckenzie]

This is my mother and that's my father. You were wrong. They wanted me. No. That's not-. It's what I found out. You were not taken care of. This is what they told, "Save these children. They need good homes. It's a mitzvah." You're not listening. That's my mother and father and they loved me. No. I was removed because the Government was taking Indian kids. We had a paper saying "unfit mother". You don't think Governments have lied before? [...] You can't just stick a new name on a person and pretend that nothing's happened. And you can't just take a five year old child away from their family and think that they're just gonna forget.

After you left, I looked and I found reports from the provincial courts about mothers losing children. Yeah. This thing that happened to you and to your family... This is disgusting. When I first met you, you were all dressed up in a nice dress, but you didn't smile. And I thought, "She has lost everyone... I have lost everyone, this is a good match." It wasn't true. You had a family. So, now you need to make decisions for yourself. You need to choose what you want. What do you mean? I mean, this is your life. You choose.

Excuse me. Are you Dora Mueller? What do you want? I've been looking for you. Well, who the fuck are you? I'm your sister. I went to child protective services and they gave me your name. They said you were looking for family. Yeah, yeah. I'm Bezhig.
