Quotes

The BFG

Edit
  • Sophie: Why did you take me?
  • The BFG: Because I hears your lonely heart, in all the secret whisperings of the world.
  • [from trailer]
  • Sophie: Never get out of the bed. Never go to the window. Never look behind the curtain.
  • [Sophie does so, and spots a giant. She rushes back to bed, but the giant comes for her...]
  • Sophie: And that is where our story begins...
  • [from trailer]
  • Sophie: It was the Witching Hour, when the Boogeyman comes out... when people go missing. The girls say the Witching Hour arrives at midnight. I think it comes at three in the morning, when I'm the only one awake. Like always. Like now.
  • [hears a noise]
  • The BFG: [to the Queen of England; awkwardly yet politely] Your madjester, I am your most humbug servant.
  • [Sophie puts her hands to her face, embarrassed]
  • Sophie: Dreams are so quick!
  • The BFG: Yeah, on the outside. They's long on the inside.
  • The BFG: [from the trailer] Run, Sophie! Hide!
  • [Sophie gets out of sight just in time, as the Man-Eating Giants surround the BFG]
  • Fleshlumpeater: Does you have a little pet?
  • Sophie: What's in those jars?
  • The BFG: Dreams.
  • Sophie: Dreams aren't things!
  • The BFG: Is that right?
  • Sophie: Why are you giving me a dream?
  • Fleshlumpeater: I has a boo boo
  • Sophie: Where am I?
  • The BFG: Giant Country!
  • Butcher Boy: [after Gizzardgulper tosses BFG toward him] Why you not hunt with us Runt?
  • The BFG: [to the man-eating giants who are destroying his workshop, as the dreams he caught are flying out of their shattered glass jars] This be my work! THIS BE MY WORK, BOYS!
  • Bloodbottler: [the man-eating giants are ramsacking the BFG's workshop to find Sofie] I has found the last one.
  • Fleshlumpeater: I is finding *this* one!
