Labyrinth quotes

Page 2 of 5
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!

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

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.

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!

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]

Help! Stop it! Help!

Hands 1
[The Hands start forming faces and speaking to her]

What do you mean 'help?' We are helping!

Hands 2

We're Helping Hands.

You're hurting!

Hands 3

Would you like us to let go? [laughs]

No!

Hands 4

Well then, come on, which way?

Which way?

Hands 5

Up or down?

Oh...

Hands 6

Come on, come on!

Hands 7

We havn't got all day!

Hands 8

Well, it's a big decision for her.

Hands 9

Which way do you want to go? Hmm?

Hands 10

Yes, which way?

Well... since I'm pointed that way, I guess I'll go down.

Hands 11

She chose down!

Hands 12

She chose down? HEEEHHH!

Wait... was that wrong?

Hands 13

Too late now! HAHAHAHAHA!

Help!

Hands 1

What do you mean help? We are Helping.

Hands 2

We're Helping Hands.

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?

What a horrible place this is! It's not fair!

Bottom Red Guard

That's right. It's not fair!

Bottom Red Guard
[All the guards laugh.]

But that's only half of it!

This was a dead end a minute ago.

Bottom Blue Guard

No, that's the dead end behind you!

[All the guards laugh, and Sarah sees that they are right.]

It keeps changing! What am I supposed to do?

Bottom Red Guard

The only way out of here is to try one of these doors.

Bottom Blue Guard

One of them leads to the castle at the centre of the Labyrinth, and the other one leads to...

Top Blue Guard

B-b-b-BOOM!

Bottom Blue Guard

Certain death!

All Guards

Ooooooooh!

Which one is which?

Bottom Red Guard

Er, we can't tell you.

Why not?

Bottom Red Guard
[The bottom guards think and mutter to each other.]

We don't know!

Bottom Blue Guard
[looks up at top guards]

But they do.

Oh. Then I'll ask them.

Top Red Guard

No. You can't ask us. You can only ask one of us.

Top Blue Guard

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.

Top Red Guard

I do not! I tell the truth!

Top Blue Guard

Oooh, what a lie!
