Captain Reginald Crewe: Let's pretend we're back in India, and I'm going away with the troops for a few days. We've fought this kind of battle before, haven't we? And you never cried once when I went away, remember?
Sara Crewe: Yes, Daddy.
Captain Reginald Crewe: Well, this is going to be our hardest battle. We'll be good soldiers, won't we?
Sara Crewe: Yes, Daddy.
Captain Reginald Crewe: Shall we say goodbye like we used to at home?
Sara Crewe: Yes, Daddy.

Captain Reginald Crewe: Sara has no mother, and we've never been separated for more than a few days.
Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: How touching.
Captain Reginald Crewe: This is going to be very hard on her.
Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: Have no fear, Captain Crewe. I'm a mother to all my little girls.

Captain Reginald Crewe: You learning me by heart little Sara?
Sara Crewe: No daddy, I know you by heart. You're inside my heart.

Queen Victoria: What is it, child?
Sara Crewe: My father, they said he died at Mafeking. But I don't believe it! He may be here with the new wounded men, but they won't let me look! If they don't, I may never have another chance. Can you make them let me look?
Queen Victoria: Colonel, will you please see that this child is escorted through the wards?
Colonel Gordon: With permission, I shall accompany her personally, Your Majesty.
Sara Crewe: What... what's your name?
Queen Victoria: Victoria. What's yours?
Sara Crewe: Sara... oh Your Majesty!
[kneels and kisses the Queen's hand]

Ram Dass, Lord Wickham's Indian Servant: Missy Sahib speaks Hindustani?
Sara Crewe: I've lived in India all my life.
Ram Dass, Lord Wickham's Indian Servant: Missy Sahib is going to live in England now?
Sara Crewe: Only until my father gets through making those Boers behave.
Ram Dass, Lord Wickham's Indian Servant: Missy Sahib has been a soldier?
Sara Crewe: Yes, my father's a captain. Captain Crewe.

Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: Sara, I shall expect an explanation of this.
Sara Crewe: Yes, Miss Minchin. As soon as I can think of one.

Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: Sara, where have you been? You've been out, haven't you?
Sara Crewe: Yes, Miss Minchin.
Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: What do you mean by disobeying my orders?
Sara Crewe: I had to. I had to look for my father.
Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: This ridiculous search for your father! All this making believe and refusing to face facts, it's indecent. I've had enough of it. You must realize once and for all that your father is dead.
Sara Crewe: Don't you say that! He's not dead, he's not! And you can't stop me from looking for him, either.

Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: What happened to this room?
Sara Crewe: That's what we would like to know. I woke up this morning, and here everything was, even to the food and the fire.
Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: Where did you get these things?
Sara Crewe: I don't know. It must be because I dreamed such a beautiful dream last night that it came true.
Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: These things are rare and costly. You stole them!
Sara Crewe: No, Miss Minchin, I didn't steal these things!
Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: I'll give you one more chance to tell me the truth!
Sara Crewe: But I am telling you the truth! They just - came!
Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: This is a matter for the police!

Sara Crewe: Daddy?
Captain Reginald Crewe: Sara...
Sara Crewe: Daddy! Oh, Daddy! It is you! I found you! I found you! They said you were dead, but I knew you weren't! I knew you'd come back! Oh, Daddy, hold me, hold me close. You won't ever go away again, will you? Will you, Daddy? What's the matter, Daddy? Why don't you talk to me?
Captain Reginald Crewe: Sara...
Sara Crewe: Don't you know me, Daddy? I'm Sara! I'm Sara!
Captain Reginald Crewe: Sara... Where is my daughter...
Sara Crewe: Oh, Daddy! Something's happened to you! Mr. Bertie! Mr. Bertie! Oh, Daddy, you've got to know me! Look at me! Look at me! Oh, Daddy...
[sobs]
Captain Reginald Crewe: You musn't cry. You musn't cry. We must be good soldiers, you know.
Sara Crewe: But, I have been a good soldier, Daddy! And you don't know me!
Captain Reginald Crewe: My little Sara never cries...
Sara Crewe: But, I'm Sara! I'm Sara!
Captain Reginald Crewe: Sara... Sara! My little... My darling...
Sara Crewe: Oh, Daddy! You know me! You know me!
Captain Reginald Crewe: Sara, my darling! My baby Sara! Sara! Poor Sara, darling!

Sara Crewe: I thought you said you didn't have any more rooms.
Amanda Minchin of Minchin Seminary for Girls: I didn't know then what a dear little girl was coming.
Sara Crewe: Why does that make more rooms, Daddy?
