A line from Jareth the Goblin King

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 have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?

Jareth the Goblin King

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

Jareth the Goblin King

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.

Jareth the Goblin King

You have thirteen hours in which to solve the labyrinth, before your baby brother becomes one of us... forever. Such a pity.

Jareth the Goblin King

In nine hours and twenty-three minutes, you'll be mine!

Jareth the Goblin King

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

Jareth the Goblin King

What is that plastic thing 'round your wrist?

Jareth the Goblin King

So, the Labyrinth's a piece of cake, is it? Well, let's see how you deal with this little slice!

Jareth the Goblin King

I think I'll call him Jareth. He's got my eyes.

Jareth the Goblin King

I ask for so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want.

Jareth the Goblin King

Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave.

Jareth

Turn back, Sarah. Turn back before it's too late.

I can't. Don't you understand that I can't?

Jareth

What a pity.

Jareth

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

OH NO, YOUR MAJESTY! NOT THE ETERNAL STENCH!

Jareth

Oh, YES, Hoggle!

That's not fair!

Jareth

You say that so often. I wonder what your basis for comparison is.

Jareth

Oh dear, poor Hoghead.

Hoggle

Hoggle.

Jareth

I've just noticed that your lovely jewels are missing.

Hoggle

Uh, oh, yes! So they are. My lovely jewels. Missing. I'd better find 'em, but first, I'll take that young lady back to the beginning, just like we planned!

Jareth

Wait! I've got a much better plan, Hoggle. Give her this.

Hoggle
[Jareth tosses him a peach.]

What is it?

Jareth

It's a present.

Hoggle

Ain't gonna hurt the little lady, is it?

Jareth

Now, why the concern?

Hoggle

I won't do nothin' to harm her.

Jareth

Oh, come, come, come, Hogbrain! I'm suprised at you, losing your head over a girl.

Hoggle

I ain't lost my head!

Jareth

You don't think a young girl could like a repulsive little scab like you, do you?

Hoggle

Well, she did say we was...

Jareth

What? Bosom companions? [dangerously] Friends?

Hoggle

It don't matter.

Jareth

You'll give her that peach, Hoggle, or I'll dip you straight into the Bog of Eternal Stench before you can blink! And Hoggle, if she ever kisses you, I'll turn you into a prince.

Hoggle

Y-you will?

Jareth

Prince of the Land of Stench! [laughs]
