> [@Bayaker](#): > > Tootie (about one of her dolls): “I suspect she won’t live through the night, she has four fatal diseases. …But she’s going to have a beautiful funeral, in a cigar box my Papa gave me, all wrapped up in silver paper.” > Neely, humoring her: “That’s the way to go, if you have to go.” > Tootie: “Oh, she has to go.” I just watched this scene. I was disappointed in how Tootie delivered her line, “Oh, she has to go.” I was hoping she would deliver it with some snark or malice, a la Wednesday Addams. But no, she delivered it earnestly. I guess they didn’t write snarky children in 1941. ---
