Return to the Blue Lagoon 1991 quotes

Keep them in your sights. They may not be civilized.

Richard Lestrange

Civilized. C-I-V-I-L-I-Z-I-D.

Lilli Hargrave

Remember what mother said about a good, firm handshake.

Richard Lestrange

My name is Richard. We've been waiting for you for a long time.

Lilli Hargrave

I'm Lilli, and I'm ready for you to take us back to civilization.

I'm Captain Jacob Hilliard, master of the Tradewind, and... Is this your land?

Richard Lestrange

Yes, my house is there.

Well, we're in need of fresh water. Our casks are fouled. [slowly] Will you grant us permission to come ashore?

Richard Lestrange

Yes, you are welcome here.

We appreciate your hospitality and hope that you'll offer us the opportunity to repay you.

Richard Lestrange

You can. You can take us with you back to civilization.

I should think it must be ever so boring here.

Richard Lestrange

What is the meaning of boring?

Well boring's when... You have nothing whatever to do. So you're bored, like you must be here.

Richard Lestrange

No. We're never bored!
[Richard and Lilli grin at each other]

Lilli Hargrave

I always weather a storm well. I get that from mother.

Richard Lestrange

Yes, you do. Captain Hilliard says he wants to set sail at dawn.

Lilli Hargrave

I guess that means Captain Hilliard's daughter wants to set sail at dawn.

Richard Lestrange

I don't care what she wants. I don't care about her at all, I know that now, Lilli. Do you understand? You're the most important thing in the whole world to me.

Lilli Hargrave

Well you can set sail at dawn... But we're not going.

Lilli Hargrave

I'm gonna keep this forever.

Richard Lestrange

What's that?

Lilli Hargrave

My prize. The white bead. I think... It looks nice in my hair. Do you?

Richard Lestrange

I don't care what you do with it, or how you wear it. You can hang it from you nose for all I care.

Lilli Hargrave

Look over there!

Richard Lestrange

Lilli, hurry! The signal fire!

Lilli Hargrave

Richard, what if they're heathens? I'm frightened!

Richard Lestrange

Well maybe we shouldn't light the signal fire! Let's see who they are first! There's eight people. The one in the light covering may be a woman.

Lilli Hargrave

There's a woman?

Lilli Hargrave

Mother died six years ago.

How do you follow the years?

Richard Lestrange

She taught us. We count the moons, we know that twelve full moons are one year.

Lilli Hargrave

We have Christmas and Thanksgiving, and Easter, although we're not exactly sure we celebrate them on the right days.

It's utterly amazing, the two of you all these years on this remote, Godforsaken place.

Lilli Hargrave

Not Godforsaken, Captain Hilliard. Not Godforsaken at all.

Lilli Hargrave

There's a baby growing inside me.

Richard Lestrange

Lilli!... How do you know?

Lilli Hargrave

A woman knows these things, that's how.

Lilli Hargrave

I won't let it be born in civilization. I want it to be born right here. Where there's no evil, and no lies, and no guns.

Richard Lestrange

You're right. We'll stay here. Just the three of us. I love you, Lilli.
[Lilli smiles breezily at him]

Lilli Hargrave

You lied to me.

Richard Lestrange

When did I lie to you?

Lilli Hargrave

You promised me, that you'd never hurt me.

Richard Lestrange

And when did I hurt you?

Lilli Hargrave

Everytime you look at her, you hurt me.

Richard Lestrange

Well, I'm sorry. It's just that she's so different.

Lilli Hargrave

In what way?

Richard Lestrange

Well, look at her. The way she's all covered up.

Lilli Hargrave

But you said you found all those clothes stupid and unnecessary!

Richard Lestrange

I do. It's just that... I wonder what she looks like underneath all of them.

Lilli Hargrave

You mean, you want to look at her, because you can't see her?

Richard Lestrange

Yes. You remember when I wanted to go to the north side of the island, just because I couldn't?

Lilli Hargrave

Yes I do. [harshly] And I also remember what almost happened to you when you did go!

Richard Lestrange

I feel like crying.

Lilli Hargrave

So do I.

Richard Lestrange

I want us to be husband and wife.

Lilli Hargrave

Yes. Always.
[They kiss passionately]

Richard Lestrange

The first time, he almost got me. But I was too fast for him. This time, he was lying in wait, so I dive in! And I can see down his mouth, there's about five hundred teeth with stripy little fish all around his gills, and he comes at me! He misses me, stupid sea slug!

Lilli Hargrave

Seems silly to me.

Richard Lestrange

Silly?! It's not silly, it's dangerous.

Lilli Hargrave

Exactly, that's why it's silly. I don't understand why you have to do it.

Richard Lestrange

I like the way it makes me feel.

Lilli Hargrave

What do you mean?

Richard Lestrange

Inside here. It feels all alive, when I'm know I'm the master of the reef!

Lilli Hargrave

The master of the reef. The master of the reef!

Richard Lestrange

Hey, don't you ever make fun of me!

Lilli Hargrave

I'm sorry.

Richard Lestrange

With this ring, I thee wed, Lilli.

Lilli Hargrave

With this ring, I thee wed, Richard.

Lilli Hargrave

And now we're...

Richard Lestrange

One. Forever.
[They kiss passionately]

It's no time to be thinking about Lilli!

Richard Lestrange

I told her I'd never hurt her.

Don't feel sorry for her, Richard. She's had you all to herself. But she doesn't own you. You're not married.

Richard Lestrange

We are married!

But not really. A lot of made up words in the middle of the jungle doesn't count.

Richard Lestrange

It does to me.

Why don't you just... Follow your heart?

Richard Lestrange

Lilli is my heart.
[Sylvia glares at Richard and slaps him]

Sarah Hargrave

I may be young, captain, but I have spent the last three years in a climate of fearsome heat, with insects as big as rats and rats as big as cats! I can certainly deal with deck hands down with fever!

Sarah Hargrave

Someday soon after the ship comes, you'll find yourself seated at a well-appointed table in San Francisco, and you'll be expected to show proper table manners.

The film's closing theme song "A World of Our Own" is performed by Surface featuring Bernard Jackson.
Music written by Barry Mann. Lyrics written by Cynthia Weil.
Somewhere, a dream away
There is a better place, a brighter day
Somewhere that's safe
Somewhere that's free
Where we can be together
So just close your eyes
And let me take you there
To somewhere only dreamers ever go
It won't be just a fantasy (oh, no)
If you believe with me
The two of us all alone
In a world of our own
A world of our own
Where we know we belong
A world of our own
Where love is sure and strong
Can never die
And lovers will never say goodbye
Someday, a light will shine
And let me take you there
To somewhere only dreamers ever go
It won't be just a fantasy (oh, no)
If you believe with me
The two of us all alone
In a world of our own
A world of our own
Where we know we belong
A world of our own
Where love is sure and strong
Can never die
And you and I won't ever say goodbye
