Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium Quotes

Eric Applebaum All stories, even the ones we love, must eventually come to an end and when they do, it's only an opportunity for another story to begin.

Henry Apparently.

Mahoney But not actually?

Henry What's a just guy?

Mr. Magorium When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? He's written "He dies." That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is "He dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He dies." And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words "He dies." But because of the life we saw prior to the words. I've lived all five of my acts, Mahoney, and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go. I'm only asking that you turn the page, continue reading... and let the next story begin. And if anyone asks what became of me, you relate my life in all its wonder, and end it with a simple and modest "He died.

Mahoney I love you.

Mr. Magorium I love you, too. Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.

Mahoney Uh-oh. That's a good way to lose a train.

Mr. Magorium Oh, I like squares. Good. Now, the hot dog, the hot dog/bun ratio, why for the love of mustard are there never enough buns?

Henry Extra hot dogs.

Mr. Magorium Yes, but why?

Henry In case you drop a couple.

Mr. Magorium What kind of insufferable fool drops a hot dog?

Henry Anything can happen, sir.

Mr. Magorium Anything can happen. How absolutely true. You're exactly the mutant I'm looking for! You're hired.

Mr Magorium Some are important documents, others maybe doodles I never framed. I can't tell the difference.

Taglines If you don't believe . . . You will.
