Ow! It bit me!
Hoggle
What'd you expect fairies to do?
I thought they did nice things, like granting wishes!
Hoggle
Huh. Shows what you know, don't it?
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.
Hoggle
Well, it's a lot better than yours!
Thanks for nothing, Hogwart.
Hoggle
[growls]
It's HOGGLE, and don't say I didn't warn you!
Hoggle
This is an oubliette. Labyrinth's full of 'em.
Really... how did you know that?
Hoggle
Oh, don't sound so smart! You don't even know what an oubliette is.
Do you?
Hoggle
Yes. It's a place where you put people... to forget about 'em!
False Alarm 1
Don't go on.
False Alarm 2
Go back while you still can.
False Alarm 3
This is not the way.
False Alarm 4
Take heed, and go no further.
False Alarm 5
Beware, beware.
False Alarm 6
Soon it will be too late.
Hoggle
(to Sarah)
Don't pay any attention to them. They're just False Alarms. You get a lot of them in the Labyrinth, especially when you're on the right track...
False Alarm 7
Oh, no you're not.
Hoggle
Oh, shut up!
False Alarm 7
Sorry, just doing my job.
Hoggle
Well you don't have to do it to us!
False Alarm 8
Beware, for the...
Hoggle
Just forget it!
False Alarm 8
Oh please, I haven't said it for such a long time!
Hoggle
Oh, all right, but don't expect a big reaction!
False Alarm 8
No no no, of course not! (Clears throat) "For the path you will take will lead to certain destruction." Thank you very much...
Hello, Hedgewart.
Hogwart.
Hoggle
HOG-GLE!
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!
Oh, YES, Hoggle!
Hoggle
You need to understand my position: I'm a coward. And Jareth scares me.
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...
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.
Oh dear, poor Hoghead.
Hoggle
Hoggle.
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!
Wait! I've got a much better plan, Hoggle. Give her this.
Hoggle
[Jareth tosses him a peach.]
What is it?
It's a present.
Hoggle
Ain't gonna hurt the little lady, is it?
Now, why the concern?
Hoggle
I won't do nothin' to harm her.
Oh, come, come, come, Hogbrain! I'm suprised at you, losing your head over a girl.
Hoggle
I ain't lost my head!
You don't think a young girl could like a repulsive little scab like you, do you?
Hoggle
Well, she did say we was...
What? Bosom companions? [dangerously] Friends?
Hoggle
It don't matter.
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?
Prince of the Land of Stench! [laughs]
Hoggle
What did you have to go and do a thing like that for?!
You mean rescue you?
Hoggle
No! You kissed me!
Hoggle
Let's get that rat who calls himself Jareth!
No! I have to face him alone.
But why?
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...
Hoggle
Yes, should you need us...
I'll call. Thank you.
