Quotes5

  • Dickon: And Ben said he loved her, and I said, what of that? Is loving someone a reason to kill? And Ben said, how old are thee?
  • Colin Craven: My father must've loved my mother very much.
  • Mary Lennox: I suppose we're not old enough. There must be an awful lot we don't know. I don't want to grow up.
  • Dickon: I've watched thee go about the garden. There's no way in.
  • Mary Lennox: In where?
  • Dickon: The secret garden. He locked the gate long years ago.
  • Mary Lennox: Who locked the gate?
  • Dickon: The master. Lord Craven, thy uncle.
  • Mary Lennox: What do you know about it?
  • Dickon: I know what's said. He locked the gate and buried the key, and nary's a soul been in there since.
  • Mary Lennox: I don't believe you. Do you know why I don't believe you? Because there isn't any gate. I've looked.
  • Dickon: Eh, so've I.
  • Mary Lennox: What were you doing watching me?
  • Dickon: I came to play with thee. My mother thought thou might be lonely.
  • Mary Lennox: Well, I'm not, and I don't play with any servant's brother. I never heard of anything so ridiculous. Thou can just go home.
  • [Dickon laughs]
  • Mary Lennox: I mean, you can just go home.
  • Mary Lennox: What's that?
  • Dickon: A fox cub. His name's Captain.
  • Mary Lennox: Dickon, are you still angry with me?
  • Dickon: When was I ever angry with thee?
  • Mary Lennox: Oh, good. Dickon, I've got so many secrets I'm just dying.
  • Dickon: Thou seems most healthy.
  • Mary Lennox: Dickon, I need you. All you have to do is listen. What good is a secret if there's no one to tell it to?
  • Dickon: Thou's not such a bad-looking lass, at that.
  • [pause]
  • Dickon: Why, thou's blushing like a beet.
