Captain Tallia Reports On Her Tree
“Why have you not healed your wounds?” The Queen asked dispassionately.
Captain Tallia's lip trembled, but she stood proud. “I am sorry my Queen. My mala...my maila...ugh! I can't say it. What is it?”
“Ma'iltri’ia,” the script supervisor corrected.
“ma'iltri...that is wicked hard to say,” Tallia complained.
“It's okay, just keep going,” the director urged.
Tallia shook her hands and became serious again. “I am sorry my Queen. My malaitra...Ugh! My mala-shala-dala-ding-dong!”
Queen Hazel bent her head forward and started laughing.
“Curse whoever wrote that line,” Tallia whined, stamping her foot.
“That would be me,” the director clarified.
“WELL THEN YOU SAY IT!”
