Sybil Trelawney : 16 years I've lived and taught here! Hogwarts is my home! You can't do this!
Dolores Umbridge : Actually, I can.
[McGonagall arrives and tries to comfort Trelawney]
Dolores Umbridge : Something you'd like to say, dear?
Minerva McGonagall : Oh, there are several things I would like to say!
[Dumbledore arrives]
Albus Dumbledore : Professor McGonagall, might I ask you to escort Sybil back inside?
Minerva McGonagall : Sybil, dear, this way.
Sybil Trelawney : [shakes Dumbledore's hand] Oh, thank you! Thank you!
Dolores Umbridge : Dumbledore, may I remind you that under the terms of Educational Decree #23, as enacted by the Minister...
Albus Dumbledore : You have the right to dismiss my teachers. You do not, however, have the authority to banish them from the grounds. That power remains with the headmaster.
Dolores Umbridge : For now.

Dolores Umbridge : Pardon me, Professor, but what exactly are you insinuating?
Minerva McGonagall : I am merely requesting that when it comes to my students you conform to the prescribed disciplinary practices.
Dolores Umbridge : So silly of me, but it sounds as if you're questioning my authority in my own classroom, Minerva.
Minerva McGonagall : Not at all, Dolores, merely your medieval methods.
Dolores Umbridge : I am sorry, dear, but to question my practices is to question the Ministry, and by extension, the Minister himself. I am a tolerant woman, but the one thing I will not stand for is disloyalty.
Minerva McGonagall : Disloyalty?
Dolores Umbridge : Things at Hogwarts are far worse than I feared. Cornelius will want to take immediate action.
