Navigating Independence and Parental Expectations
Eleanor Abbott
I just do things. I let other people figure them out. That's what parents are for; they're really good at doing all the thinking, so why should I? I think this is what they called the silent treatment. I get enough of it from my father, I don't need it from you. So good luck at Penn.

Labyrinth - Dialogue 20
Sarah
Give me the child.
Jareth
Sarah, beware. I have been generous, up until now. But I can be cruel.
Sarah
Generous? What have you done that's generous?
[disbelieving]
Jareth
Everything! Everything that you wanted, I have done! You asked that the child be taken - I took him. You cowered before me - I was frightening. I have reordered time, I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?
Sarah
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered ... I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the goblin city ... for my will is as strong as yours... and my kin-
[dreamily]
Jareth
Stop! Wait. Look, Sarah, look what I'm offering. Your dreams!
[he holds out the crystal]
Sarah
And my kingdom as great...
[undeterred]
Jareth
I ask for so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want.
Sarah
Kingdom as great ... damn! I can never remember that line...
Jareth
Just fear me - love me - do as I say, and I will be your slave!
Sarah
My kingdom as great ... my kingdom as great ... You have no power over me!

Sarah
What a horrible place this is! It's not fair!
Tim
That's right. It's not fair!
Tim
But that's only half of it!
Sarah
This was a dead end a minute ago.
Jim
No, that's the dead end behind you!
Sarah
It keeps changing! What am I supposed to do?
Tim
The only way out of here is to try one of these doors.
Jim
One of them leads to the castle at the centre of the Labyrinth, and the other one leads to...
Ralph
B-b-b-BOOM!
Jim
Certain death!
All Guards
Ooooooooh!

Which one is which?

Er, we can't tell you.
Sarah

Tim

Jim
But they do.
[looks up at top guards]
Sarah
Oh. Then I'll ask them.

Seeking Adventure Beyond Boundaries
Josie McClellan
Would you go with me somewhere?
Jim Dodge
Where?
Josie McClellan
Florida. Wyoming, Spain. It doesn't really matter, just away somewhere.

Unlikely Confessions of Two Unique Characters
Josie McClellan
I don't think you see what I'm getting at.
Jim Dodge
I see what you're getting at. I'm a lying monk with an Oedipus complex and an appetite for home cooking. Don't forget, you are the indecisive shoplifter.
Josie McClellan
Yes! Exactly! I would do anything to be in your shoes.
[elated jump]
Jim Dodge
These are Darnell's shoes.
Josie McClellan
You know, you have freedom, and you're not using it. It makes me sad.
Jim Dodge
Well, you have the collective wealth of the entire town, and you're trying to get yourself arrested, now that makes me sad.
Josie McClellan
It makes me sad too.
Jim Dodge
It's pretty stupid.
Josie McClellan
It's very stupid.
Jim Dodge
Are you serious? I mean, you haven't been drinking? This isn't the bottle talking?
Josie McClellan
No.
Jim Dodge
Then why don't you just talk to the guy?
Josie McClellan
For the same reason you can't leave home. I can't tell my father to go to hell.
Jim Dodge
Why not?
Josie McClellan
Because I don't want to be alone.

Nothing? Nothing?! Nothing?! Nothing, tra-la-la?!

Jareth
Hello, Hedgewart.
Sarah
Hogwart.
Hoggle
HOG-GLE!
Jareth
Hoggle... can it be that you're helping this girl?
Hoggle
Helping? In what sense?
Jareth
In the sense that you're leading her towards the castle?
Hoggle
No! No! I was taking her back to the beginning your Majesty.
Sarah
What?!
Hoggle
I told her I was gonna help her solve the Labyrinth, a little trickery on my part. But actually--
Jareth
What IS that plastic thing round your wrist?
[the bracelet Sarah has just given Hoggle in exchange for being led through the Labyrinth]
Hoggle
Oh...Oh this? Oh, my goodness, where did THIS come from?

Jareth
Higgle...
Hoggle
Hoggle!
Jareth
Yes... If I thought for one second that you were betraying me, I'd be forced to suspend you head-first in the Bog of Eternal Stench.
Hoggle
AH NO, YOUR MAJESTY! NOT THE ETERNAL STENCH!
[grabs Jareth's knees]
Jareth
Oh YES, Hoggle! And you, Sarah - how are you enjoying my Labyrinth?

Sarah
It's a piece of cake!
Jareth
Really? Then how about upping the stakes hmm?
[turns the clock forward to only 8 hours left]
Sarah
That's not fair!
Jareth
You say that so often! I wonder what your basis for comparison is. So the Labyrinth's a piece of cake, is it? Well let's see how you deal with this little slice...

Misunderstanding in a Conversation with a Worm
Worm
Ello.
Sarah
Did you say... hello?
Worm
No, I said "Ello," but that's close enough.
Sarah
You're a worm aren't you?
Worm
Yeah, s'right.
Sarah
You dont by any chance know the way through this Labyrinth do you?
Worm
Who me? Naahh, I'm just a worm, heh.
Sarah
Oh.
Worm
Come inside and meet the missus.
Sarah
No, thank you, but I have to solve this Labyrinth. But there aren't any turns or any openings or anything, it just goes on and on!
Worm
Well, you ain't lookin right! It's FULL of openings, it's just you ain't seen em !
Sarah
Well, where are they?
Worm
There's one just across there its right in-front of ya.
Sarah
No there isn't.
Worm
Come inside and have a nice cuppa tea.
Sarah
But... there isn't an opening!
Worm
Course there is! You try walking through it, you'll see what I mean!
[laughs]
Sarah
What?
Worm
Go on, go on then!
Sarah
That's just wall! There's no way through.
Worm
Things are not always what they seem in this place. So, you can't take anything for granted.
Sarah
Hey!
[walks through the 'wall']
Worm
Hey, ang on!
Sarah
Thank you! That was incredibly helpful!
[starts to turn left]
Worm
Don't go that way!
Sarah
What was that?
Worm
I said, don't go that way! Never go that way!
Sarah

Worm
If she had kept going down that way, she would've gone straight to that castle!

Secord
Oh I got it straight from the Feds, Eddie. Nazi spy ring, flying commandos, the works.

Valentine
Shut up!

Taking Things for Granted in the Labyrinth
Hoggle
You know your problem? You take too many things for granted. Take this Labyrinth: even if you get to the centre, you'll never get out again.

That's your opinion.

Well, it's a lot better than yours!
Sarah
Thanks for nothing, Hogwart.
Hoggle
It's HOGGLE, and don't say I didn't warn you!

Understanding Fear and Cowardice in Adversity
Hoggle
You need to understand my position: I'm a coward. And Jareth scares me.
Sarah
What kind of position is that?
Hoggle
NO position! That's my point! And you wouldn't be so brave if you'd ever smelled the Bog of Eternal Stench. It's, it's...
Sarah
Is that all it does, it smells?
Hoggle
Oh, believe me, that's enough. But the worst thing is, if you so much as put a foot in the Bog of Stench, you'll smell bad for the rest of your life. It'll never wash off.

A Reunion with Unspoken Tensions
David Banner
My dear Miss Ross. Welcome back.
Betty Ross
There are two guards right outside.
David Banner
You don't have to worry. I'm not angry with you. Not anymore.
Betty Ross
What do you want?
David Banner
It's over for me now. I know that. And soon, it'll be over for Bruce. That's why I've come to you. To ask you if you could persuade your father, as a man, as a father himself, that if I turn myself in now, peacefully and before he puts me away forever, that he would let me see my son for one last time. Could you do that for me?
Betty Ross
It's out of my father's hands now.
David Banner
I understand. He's a puppet now. I don't blame him.
Betty Ross
You shouldn't. You should blame yourself for what you've done to your son.
David Banner
And what have I done to my son, Miss Ross? Nothing. I tried to improve on the limits in myself. Myself, not him! Can you understand? To improve on nature, my nature, knowledge of oneself! It's the only path to the truth, that give men the power to go beyond God's boundaries!
Betty Ross
You know what's beyond your boundaries? Other people. All you've given Bruce is fear. Fear of life.

Our lives have taken us so far apart now. It seems wrong to think we belong together.

Sarah Williams

Sarah Williams
Because it's what we want. But... so few people get what they want. And the ones they do aren't really the lucky ones anyway.
Fielding Pierce
They're not? Who are?

A Girl's Dilemma with Goblin Power
Sarah
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl whose stepmother always made her stay home with the baby. And the baby was a spoiled child, and wanted everything for himself, and the young girl was practically a slave. But what no one knew is that the king of the goblins had fallen in love with the girl, and he had given her certain powers. So one night, when the baby had been particularly cruel to her, she called on the goblins for help! "Say your right words," the goblins said, "and we'll take the baby to the Goblin City. And you will be free." But the girl knew that the king would keep the baby in his castle for ever and ever and ever, and turn it into a goblin.

Trust and Control in Uncertain Circumstances
Betty Ross
We're buried out here in the middle of nowhere. How long are you going to keep him sedated?
General Ross
For the rest of his natural life, if I have to.
Betty Ross
You said I could trust you.
General Ross
I'm your father. You can trust me to do what I think is right, not what you think you want.
Betty Ross
He is a human being.
General Ross
Well, he is also something else. Suppose he gets out, has one of his little mood swings in a populated area.
Betty Ross
Yes, I'm aware of the potential danger. I'm also aware that he saved my life.
General Ross
Yeah, from a mutant French poodle. I'm indebted to him for that. He also put three men in a hospital and Talbot's barely walking! I mean, what do you want me to do?!
Betty Ross
I want you to help him! Why is he such a threat to you?
General Ross
Because I know what he comes from! He is his father's son, every last molecule of him! He says he doesn't know his father, but he's working in the same exact goddamn field his father did! So, either he's lying or it's something worse, that he's-
Betty Ross
What? Predestined to follow on his father's footsteps?
General Ross
I was going to say "damned".
Betty Ross
Of course you were, but I'm a scientist. As a scientist, I believe we can figure this out and he can be helped.
General Ross
I know you do. Whether you know or care, I've got a lot of pride in what you've done, but this is too big for you.
Betty Ross
Look, I know the government thinks they have a weapon on their hands, otherwise he'd be dead by now. They can probe and prod all they want. In the meanwhile, just let me try to help him. Nobody knows him better than I do. What did David Banner do to him?

A Request to the Goblin King
Sarah
You're him, aren't you? You're the Goblin King! I want my brother back, please, if it's all the same.
Jareth
What's said is said.
Sarah
But... I didn't mean it.
Jareth
Oh, you didn't?
Sarah
Please, where is he?
Jareth
You know very well where he is.
Sarah
Please bring him back. Please!
Jareth
Sarah... go back to your room. Play with your toys and your costumes. Forget about the baby.
Sarah
I can't.
Jareth
I've brought you... a gift.
Sarah
What is it?
Jareth
It's a crystal, nothing more. But if you turn it this way, and look into it, it'll show you your dreams. But this is no gift for an ordinary girl who takes care of a screaming baby. Do you want it? Then forget the baby!
[silence]
Sarah
I can't. It isn't that I don't appreciate what you're trying to do for me, but I want my brother back. He must be so scared--
Jareth
Sarah... don't defy me! You're no match for me, Sarah!
Sarah
But I have to have my brother back!
Jareth
He's there — in my castle. Do you still want to look for him?
[points]
Sarah
Is that... the castle beyond the Goblin City?
Jareth
Turn back, Sarah. Turn back before it's too late.
Sarah
I can't. Don't you understand that I can't?
Jareth
What a pity.
Sarah
It doesn't look that far.
Jareth
It's further than you think... and time is short. You have thirteen hours in which to solve the Labyrinth, before your baby brother becomes one of us... forever. Such a pity...

[after eating dinner]

I've got plenty of time.
[puffing cigar]
Josie McClellan
It's a big store.
Jim Dodge
Huge.
Josie McClellan
Always smoke cigars?
Jim Dodge
I enjoy a good one after a fine meal. It settles the stomach.
Josie McClellan
You're the town liar, right?
Jim Dodge
What?
Josie McClellan
I'm sorry, that... ah, that really came out wrong.
Jim Dodge
As if something like that could come out right.

A Warning About Earth's Deteriorating Condition
Helen Benson
I need to know what is happening.
Klaatu
This planet is dying. The human race is killing it.
Helen Benson
So you have come here to help us.
Klaatu
No, I didn't.
Helen Benson
You said you came to save us.
Klaatu
I said I came to save the Earth.
Helen Benson
You came to save the Earth from us.
Klaatu
We can't risk the survival of this planet for the sake of one species.
Helen Benson
What are you saying?
Klaatu
If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives. There are only a handful of planets in the cosmos that are capable of supporting complex life.
Helen Benson
You can't do this.
Klaatu
This one can't be allowed to perish.
Helen Benson
We can change. We can still turn things around.
Klaatu:
We have watched. We have waited and hoped that you would change.
Helen Benson
Please.
Klaatu
It has reached the tipping point. We have to act.
Helen Benson
Please.
Klaatu
We will undo the damage you have done and give the Earth a chance to begin again.
Helen Benson
Don't do this. Please, we can change. We can change.
Klaatu
The decision is made. The process has begun.

Reflections on Memory and Haunting Places
Mr. Hand
We're very lucky, when you think about it.
Emma Murdoch
I'm sorry?
Mr. Hand
To be able to revisit those places which have meant so very much to us.
Emma Murdoch
I thought it was more that we were haunted by them.
Mr. Hand
Perhaps. But imagine a life alien to yours, in which your memories were not your own but those shared by every other of your kind. Imagine the torment of such an existence: no experiences to call your own. If it was all you knew, maybe it would be a comfort.

Confrontation Amidst a Murder Investigation
Jenny Blake
Are you out of your mind? What are you doing here?
Cliff Secord
Listen to me.
Blake
You're jealous.
Secord
I'm not jealous! Jenny, Bigelow's been murdered.
Blake
Murdered?
Secord
Remember the rocket we found? The people that are looking for it murdered Bigelow to get to me. Now they're after you. They have your picture, the one from the Gee Bee. Jenny, prepare yourself for a shock. I'm the Rocketeer.

Nadi
Don't!
[Following them]
Behrani
In my country, you're not worthy to raise your eyes to me. You're nothing! And you can tell your deputy friend his superior officers know everything!
Behrani
You tell him that! This is our home!
Kathy
Please...
Behrani
OUR HOME!
Nadi
Leave her alone! That's enough! Please, stop! Please, to stop, Behrani!

I don't want to watch you turn into a cog in their machine.

Reflections on High School Experiences
Jim Dodge
I look at my high school yearbook, and I don't see four fabulous years. Actually, what I'm reminded of, is what it feels like to have my underwear yanked up my ass by some big football player with arms like telephone poles.
Josie McClellan
Okay, and where are those guys now?
Jim Dodge
I know they're not working nights at Target, I can tell you that.
[self-effacing; aiming a playful slap at her shoulder]
Josie McClellan
Yeah, you know, I look at my yearbook, and I see four fabulous years... that are gonna be the highlight of my life.
[laughs]
Jim Dodge
Here's what it's like. First, you feel a hand going down the back of your pants, and tighten around the elastic waistband, and then...
Josie McClellan
Highlight.
Jim Dodge
Sometimes I'd actually see stars.
Josie McClellan
It's not gonna get any better.
[muttering to herself]
Jim Dodge
And if I was particularly unlucky, my shorts would, like, rip completely free, and I would get this really drastic fabric...
Josie McClellan
Do you hear me?
[bothered]
Jim Dodge
Yeah.
Josie McClellan
I don't really care about a graphic description of a childhood prank.
Jim Dodge
Hey, that prank was a motif in my life.
Josie McClellan
You know, I'm... locked... in this store here... because I didn't have the guts to steal a skirt so that I could get arrested and embarrass my father in this... this stupid, desperate, childish, pathetic attempt to leave home. You have your underwear yanked up your ass. I have my entire life yanked up my ass!
[scoffs]
