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.
Sarah Give me the child. 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... For my will is as strong as yours. My kingdom is great... Damn. Oh, I can never remember that line.
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!
Sarah I can bear it no longer! Goblin King! Goblin King! Wherever you may be take this child of mine far away from me!
Sarah You really wanted to talk to me, didn't you? Practically broke down the door.
Sarah Someone has been in my room again. I hate that. I hate it!
Sarah Someone save me, someone take me away from this awful place!
Sarah I wish the goblins would come and take you away, right now.
Sarah I have to face him alone... because that's the way it's done.
Turn back, Sarah. Turn back before it's too late.
Sarah I can't. Don't you understand that I can't?
What a pity.
Sarah Ow! It bit me!
What'd you expect fairies to do?
Sarah I thought they did nice things, like granting wishes!
Huh. Shows what you know, don't it?
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.
Sarah That's your opinion.
Well, it's a lot better than yours!
Sarah Thanks for nothing, Hogwart.
'Ello.
Sarah Did you say... hello?
No, I said "'ello," but that's close enough.
No! Don't go that way! Never go that way!
Sarah Oh... thank you!
(Sarah goes in opposite direction) :
If she had kept going down that way, she would've gone straight to that castle!
Sarah What a horrible place this is! It's not fair!
That's right. It's not fair!
But that's only half of it!
Sarah This was a dead end a minute ago.
No, that's the dead end behind you!
Sarah It keeps changing! What am I supposed to do?
The only way out of here is to try one of these doors.
One of them leads to the castle at the centre of the Labyrinth, and the other one leads to...
B-b-b-BOOM!
Certain death!
Ooooooooh!
Sarah Which one is which?
Er, we can't tell you.
Sarah Why not?
We don't know!
But they do.
Sarah Oh. Then I'll ask them.
No. You can't ask us. You can only ask one of us.
It's the rules, and I should warn you that one of us always tells the truth, and one of us always lies. That's the rules too. He always lies.
I do not! I tell the truth!
Oooh, what a lie!
Sarah Help!
What do you mean help? We are Helping.
We're Helping Hands.
This is an oubliette. Labyrinth's full of 'em.
Sarah Really... how did you know that?
Oh, don't sound so smart! You don't even know what an oubliette is.
Sarah Do you?
Yes. It's a place where you put people... to forget about 'em!
Hello, Hedgewart.
Sarah Hogwart.
HOG-GLE!
Sarah That's not fair!
You say that so often. I wonder what your basis for comparison is.
You need to understand my position: I'm a coward. And Jareth scares me.
Sarah What kind of position is that?
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?
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.
IT'S VERY RUDE TO STARE!
Sarah I'm sorry, I was just wondering which door to choose.
What?
It'th no good athking him, he'th deaf ath a...
Don't talk with your mouth full!
Sarah I'm sorry, I can't understand a word you're saying.
What were you saying?
Aaaah. Oooh. Um, mum. Oh, it is so good to get that thing out.
Sarah What did you say?
I said, "It's no good asking him. He's deaf as a..."
Mumble, mumble, mumble. You're a wonderful conversational companion.
YOU CAN TALK! ALL YOU DO IS MOAN!
No good. Can't hear you.
Hey! Hey! Her head don't come off!
Sarah Of course it doesn't!
Hey! Whatchoo going 'round with a head like that for?
What did you have to go and do a thing like that for?!
Sarah You mean rescue you?
No! You kissed me!
I have sworn with my lifeblood no one shall pass this way without my permission.
Sarah Well... May we have your permission?
Well I, uh... I... that is, uh... hm... yes.
Sarah Help! Stop it! Help!
What do you mean 'help?' We are helping!
We're Helping Hands.
Sarah You're hurting!
Would you like us to let go? [laughs]
Sarah No!
Well then, come on, which way?
Sarah Which way?
Up or down?
Sarah Oh...
Come on, come on!
We havn't got all day!
Well, it's a big decision for her.
Which way do you want to go? Hmm?
Yes, which way?
Sarah Well... since I'm pointed that way, I guess I'll go down.
She chose down!
She chose down? HEEEHHH!
Sarah Wait... was that wrong?
Too late now! HAHAHAHAHA!
Sarah Sssh! Sir, Didymus, we must go quietly.
Sarah Sir Didymus, you'll wake the guard!
Well, let them all wake up! [hammers on the sleeping guard's helmet, almost waking him] I shall fight you all to the death!
Sarah Sir Didymus, for my sake, hush!
But of course, for thee, anything! But... I'm not a coward?
Sarah No.
And my sense of smell is keen?
Sarah Of course--
Sarah We all know! Now hush!
I don't see why we're being so quiet. It's only a Goblin City!
Sarah No! I have to face him alone.
But why?
Sarah Because... that's the way it's done.
Well, if that is the way it is done, then that is the way you must do it. But, should you need us...
Yes, should you need us...
Sarah I'll call. Thank you.
