Sybil
1976 (TV)
Sybil Dorsett: Who dat? Richard J. Loomis: Who dat who say who dat? Sybil Dorsett: Who dat who say who dat who say who dat?
Dr Cornelia Wilbur: (seeing Sybil crouched on the kitchen floor) What did that monster do to you?
Sybil Dorsett: (singing) In your easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it. I'll be the grandest fellow in the easter parade. Fifth avenue... uh-ah, uh-ah. Fifth avenue... uh-ah, uh-ah... (slumps down and begins crying like a child) Dr Cornelia Wilbur: Vanessa, what's the matter? Sybil Dorsett: (in a child's voice) I'm NOT Vanessa! Dr Cornelia Wilbur: I'm sorry Peggy but you popped out so fast...
Richard J. Loomis: (singing) Do a little jig, kiss a little pig, follow the band. Follow the band, follow the band... Do a little jig, kiss a little pig, follow the band. Just join in and follow the band.
Dr Cornelia Wilbur: Sybil has disassociated into a baby... I can't get her back!
(last lines) Dr Cornelia Wilbur: In accepting Peggy into her arms, Sybil began the deepest healing of her selves. In embracing Peggy, she embraced herself. In calming her, she was calming her own heart. As I watched her becoming mother to herself, I felt my own long motherhood ending. I released what I had held so long. I celebrated the beginning of her emancipation. I let go. Our work together lasted eleven years. Today, Sybil lives peacefully in a small college town where she's a professor of art. There's not enough time in the day for her to do everything she wants, but that time in every sense, is her own. She tells me she's happy. I know she's free.
Dr Cornelia Wilbur: Is it fun talking like a little girl, Ms Dorsett?
