Quotes


Sarah: Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great. You have no power over me.

Jareth: I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.

Jareth: It's a crystal, nothing more. But if you turn it this way, and look into it, it will show you your dreams. But this is not a gift for an ordinary girl, who takes care of a screaming baby. Do you want it? Then forget the baby!

Sarah: Ow! It bit me!
Hoggle: What'd you EXPECT fairies to do?
Sarah: I thought they did nice things, like granting wishes!
Hoggle: Shows what YOU know, don't it?

Sarah: What exactly have you sworn to?
Sir Didymus: That I am to guard this bridge with my life, and that no one may cross without my permission.
Sarah: Well... May we have your permission to cross?
Sir Didymus: Well I, uh... I... that is, uh... hm... Yes?

The Worm: 'Ello.
Sarah: Did you say...hello?
The Worm: No, I said "'ello," but that's close enough.
Sarah: Oh... you're a worm, aren't you?
The Worm: Yeah, that's right.
Sarah: You don't by any chance know the way through this labyrinth, do you?
The Worm: Who, me? No, I'm just a worm. Say, come inside, and meet the Mrs.

Jareth: Sarah, go back to your room. Play with your toys and your costumes. Forget about the baby.

Hoggle: This is an oubliette, labyrinth's full of 'em.
Sarah: Oh, I didn't know that.
Hoggle: Oh don't act so smart. You don't even know what an oubliette is.
Sarah: Do you?
Hoggle: Yes. It's a place you put people... to forget about 'em!

Sarah: That's not fair!
Jareth: You keep saying that. I wonder what your basis for comparison is?

Sarah: Give me the child.
Jareth: Sarah i have been generous till now and i can be cruel.
Sarah: Generous? What have you done that is generous?
Jareth: EVERYTHING! Everything that you wanted I have done. You asked that child be taken. I took him. You cowered before me and I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down. And I ahve done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations. Isn't that generous?
