The Doctor

29th Dec 2004

Matilda (1996)

Corrected entry: When Matilda pulls the adoption papers out of her bag, they have her parents' names typed on them below the signature lines. Now if she got the papers out of a book at the library, like she says, how would they have her parents' names typed on them? She hasn't written the names herself, so how did they get there?

The Doctor

Correction: Because she photocopied the papers and typed the names in herself. She never says that the papers were still exactly as they were in the book. She has had them for a long time. She has had plenty of time to prepare them for this eventuality.
