James and the Giant Peach quotes

View Quote [James bumps into Earthworm]
Earthworm: Whoever you are, keep away from me! KEEP AWAY!
James: Earthworm, it's me!
Earthworm: Oh, James. Oh, thank goodness.
James: You mustn't frighten yourself like this all the time.
Earthworm: Why not?
James: You'll make yourself sick. When I had a problem, my mom and dad would tell me to look at it another way.
Earthworm: How? First I was bird-bait, then I was shark-bait!

Earthworm: No-handedly!
James: Exactly! You're a hero!
Earthworm: I am! I'm... Wonder-Worm!
James: You are!
