Life and death are not so far apart.

From where we...

Something has changed.

Something has stayed the same.

Life and death are not so far apart.

It's a pretty nice break, wasn't it?

Stain. Blake, grab him.

Hi, David.

Christine.

What's up? The basketball trials. I was thinking as team captains we should talk

tactics. Sure.

Cool.

Are my conversational skills that lacking?

Well, it's not you, just you're not a basketball, I guess.

Of course.

David is a jock, therefore he is required to want to sport above all

things. You make it sound so dorky. I love it.

You are so funny.

Hello again, ladies and David.

I believe you are discussing the game of basketball.

This is team talk.

Players only.

Oh, well, then how do I become a player?

She's actually serious.

The thing is that the girls' team's kind of full right now, so... Hold up. No,

no. You said you were doing trials.

Did I?

No.

Oh,

yeah. Maybe I did.

But as it happens, we're looking for people who can actually play.

Yeah, so give Rebecca a chance. For all you know, she could be the greatest

player since Michael Jordan.

Yeah, what he said.

Fine.

Since she's so desperate to humiliate herself, might as well try her.

David, fetch.

Oh, Hazel, I need your help with something.

Yes, Rebecca, what is it you want?

Well, I need your help with my... Not you.

But you just asked if I... Oh.

That's Rebecca, and this is Sophie.

We raised them from frog spawn.

You named them after us.

Well, Rebecca's the prettiest.

So I see.

In any case, I did not venture here to bicker about amphibians.

Hazel, I need your help with basketball.

I'm sorry, Rebecca, but we have but one day to hand in our biology assignment.

These guys are due in to Miss Pemberton tomorrow, complete with growth charts

and feeding plans.

By the way, what's for breakfast?

Oh, well, crunchy bug surprise!

Do you want to stay now?

Oh, you do?

Bia Constance, Etheldred Ainsworth.

What is this?

It is merely a sampler. Oh, I can see that.

Why are you not busting sick moves on your singing wonder dance mat?

Because I greatly prefer embroidery.

What matters not what you prefer.

All that matters is keeping up appearances.

Oh, I had entirely forgotten.

Mother's secret drawer.

Mother's locket.

The one she gave to me.

This used to belong to Grandmama.

And then it was mine.

And now it is yours.

But Rebecca is the elder.

Should it not be hers by right?

My dear, honourable Sophie, Rebecca has scores of trinkets.

And besides, she does not care for old things.

But you will treasure this.

I know.

I must have put it here after, you know.

We die.

What is past is past.

We must concentrate on the future.

Indeed.

Right, well, you will help me to learn basketball.

Basketball? Yes.

Oh, Sophie, chill out.

This is standard basketball get -up. I think it is rather becoming.

But breeches, Rebecca!

Like a boy!

And ending so very high above the ankle.

I cannot believe this sport is fitting for young ladies.

Well, you played croquet, did you not?

Father said I was the finest player on the entire stage.

Right, well, think of it as air croquet, just with a different ball and a hoop.

Just follow me.

David!

Nice kid.

For a nun.

Hey, catch.

Shoot. Come on, shoot it. Shoot, shoot. Rebecca!

Shoot, shoot, shoot.

Your sister's good. So it would seem.

Are you going to try it for the girls' team too? I could teach you a few moves.

I do not know. I have so little experience.

Oh, we would be delighted to accept your kind offer. Would we not, Sophie?

Cool. I'll see you at lunch.

Well, this is the nearest you'll ever get to dating David, so I'd make the

of it.

Oh, thank you, Christine. I intend to.

Two, three.

David, what do you think?

I think you'd better wash your face before we get going.

David. Trust me, you wear mascara on court and you're blinded as soon as you

start to sweat.

But I do not perspire.

I can't coach you looking like this. I won't be responsible for the

consequences.

Come on, Sophie, let's get started.

Ah,

you're the reason the room smells like the bottom of a... pond my frogs do not

smell they're clean and intelligent and the most fascinating creatures yeah i

know so have you done the dissection class yet what did you say dissection

dissection class yeah you know when you look inside the frog it's awesome

You're not even breaking a sweat. What's your secret?

Nothing. I don't have a secret.

You Brits really are cold -blooded. Anyone else would be sweating like a

armpit in there.

Actually, it is a cry for warmth.

Rebecca,

what happened to you?

I thought David was to coach both of us.

So did I. But now I think he should not coach either of us.

Rebecca, this is most unwelcome news.

For I truly believe that I was getting into it.

Oh, I noticed.

Indeed, I never witnessed such an unladylike display.

Rebecca? How dare you criticize my morals? When you were all over David

case of scarlet feet. Oh, you are just jealous. What do you possess that I have

to be jealous that I'm a pro at it?

Your simpering, swooning ways are outmoded. Decency will never be

where is the decency in stealing your sister's bow? David, it's not your bow.

Oh, so then you are interested in him then? No.

Rebecca, Sophie, what is happening? I could hear you from the common room. Oh,

Hazel, do not exaggerate.

But I could.

You were squabbling over a boy. It is unseemly and old -fashioned. And what

Sophie's locket got to do with any of this?

I said nothing of your locket. Be quiet!

What have you been saying to her? Nothing.

It was as if she'd read my mind.

Oh, no.

She could hear what I was saying.

Do you think she can?

If that is the case, it is a shame she has departed, for I would love you to

hear what I am thinking right now.

Where are you going?

I'm returning to my basketball coaching.

No, you are not. I forbid it. First you force me to play, then you forbid me.

Well, I am not your lady's maid.

I've definitely got these cats a pain.

Is that good? An important philosophy.

I don't really know what I'm doing, but I must protect the lolly.

And I think I'm hearing people's thoughts.

Well, it sounds like you have a case of psychic empathy.

Ah, empathy is a great gift.

I learn plans are enemy, then crush him like a beetle.

I don't wish to crush anyone.

Then use your power for good. As it teaches you the feelings of others, it

show you what is right. Look, all I... What I want to do is to stop my sisters

from arguing. How do I do that?

You wish me to crush them for you.

Call the credible. The chick needs a more mellow solution.

You dig?

Right. Could I crush maybe just one of them?

I don't think so, but thank you anyway.

The truth is, you can't live their lives for them. No, your sisters must find

their own paths, as must you. Their happiness will bring it into your agony,

know?

I know you can. Just breathe.

Focus. Up the end of the thigh.

Good shot.

It's like a ball in a hoop, right?

Like, what's the biggie?

Like... Okay, let's go again.

Whoa!

Ease up. Whenever you're ready.

Oh!

David!

Your nose!

Allow me!

Look, it's OK.

I'll see you at the trial.

Now look what you've done!

There we go. A lovely cup of tea.

Mrs Heathfield, don't... Do you think the grounds are looking particularly

magnificent this time of year? Darling, yes.

Would you like it, darling? I want to be anywhere else but here.

The local governor's meetings are always so tired. Who would like a sandwich?

I have wonderfully fresh sandwiches.

If this old woman doesn't stop talking soon, she'll spontaneously come back.

Hazel, can we help you?

I finished colouring in all the pie charts.

What are we supposed to do? What do you want me to do?

Here, take these to the lab.

I'm late for advance maths.

Matthew, what happens to the frogs after we hand them in?

We get an A.

It's all that matters.

See ya.

actually going to do anything to them, did you?

Oh,

you did.

Well, where do you think they could be going?

Oh, no.

It is not

my fault David wanted to teach me.

to appeal to the ghost council in the first place. Me!

Seriously, who would ever choose you over me?

Mother did.

She gave the locket to me, not to you.

Rebecca, I really wouldn't worry about Sophie right now.

Why not?

I'd worry about Hazel.

Hazel?

Mr Griffith, do not punish Hazel. It was all my fault.

Yes.

Really? Sophie here has been saying exactly the same thing.

How like Sophie to take the blame for me.

Well, it was not them, it was me.

I was trying to save Sophie and Rebecca.

I'm confused.

I'm also impressed.

The way you girls stick together, I have never seen such loyal sisters.

You know, the school governors were actually able to see the funny side of

all. You did certainly liven up their lunch.

And as a bit of a nature lover myself, what say we forget about the whole

Well, what say?

How did you... You go first.

When I left our dorm, I ran into Matty.

She told me Hazel was in trouble, so I went straight to Griffith.

Right after you picked up the locket? No.

There was not time.

But I went and looked, and the locket was gone.

Oh, hi, girls.

Where did you get that? Doesn't matter.

Find it, Keith.

It's not yours.

No way she'll get this in.

What is she doing?

Right, time's up, Sophie.

Let's see what you've really got.

Okay, everyone gather round for team selection.

Right.

Danny, Chantel, and Alice, you're all in.

So that means there's only one spot left, which means it's Piper.

Okay, Piper, go for it.

Yes! Never mind, it's just nerves. Try again.

Wait!

I believe it is Sophie's turn.

All right.

Sophie?

Shoot.

Do not be nervous.

You can do this.

Just throw it in the hoop.

Here.

Rosie better have this.

No, thank you.

No.

Give it to Piper.

It is more her sort of thing.

Friendship is more important than basketball.

And I'm already in the best team in school.

Hey, Sophie.

I think this is yours.

My locket.

Did Christine give it to you?

What?

You gave Christine your identity bracelet.

We'll see then.

Thank you.

It was nothing.

Looks beautiful.

So, what did you have to give David in return?

Free maths tuition for a month.

And why would you do that?

No reason. No reason at all.

Ah, I see.

What? Say what?

Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.

You do realise you were going to fail biology now?

I know. But you must understand, she says, some things are just more

than science projects.

Thank you for saving me today, although there was really no need.

I beg your pardon.

If not for us, you would have been stuck in detention for the rest of your life.

At least the voices in my head have stopped.

Life and death are not so far apart.

Oh, I'm walking through the walls and I wouldn't have it any other way.
