Quotes24

  • Sarah: You're horrible!
  • Hoggle: No, I ain't. I'm Hoggle.
  • Jareth: Hello, Hedgewart.
  • Sarah: Hogwart.
  • Hoggle: Hog-gle!
  • First Statue: Don't go on...
  • Second Statue: Go back, while you still can...
  • Third Statue: This is not the way...
  • Fourth Statue: Take heed, and go no further...
  • Fifth Statue: Beware, beware...
  • Sixth Statue: Soon it will be too late...
  • Hoggle: Ah, 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.
  • Seventh Statue: Oh, no you're not!
  • Hoggle: Oh, shut up.
  • Seventh Statue: I'm sorry, I'm just doing my job.
  • Hoggle: Well, you don't have to do it to us.
  • Eighth Statue: [deep, booming voice] Beware, for...
  • Hoggle: Just forget it.
  • Eighth Statue: [normal voice] Oh, please. I haven't said it in such a long time.
  • Hoggle: Oh, all right. But don't expect a big reaction.
  • Eighth Statue: No, no, no, of course not.
  • Eighth Statue: [clears throat, deep, booming voice] For the path you will take will lead you to certain destruction!
  • [normal voice]
  • Eighth Statue: Thank you very much.
  • Jareth: And Hoggle, if she ever kisses you, I'll turn you into a prince.
  • Hoggle: Y-you will?
  • Jareth: Prince of the Land of Stench!
  • [laughs]
  • Hoggle: This is an oubliette, labyrinth's full of 'em.
  • Sarah: Really. I didn't know that.
  • Hoggle: Oh don't act so smart. You don't even know what an oubliette is.
  • Sarah: Do you?
  • Hoggle: Yes. It's a place you put people... to forget about 'em!
  • Jareth: Ah, what have we here?
  • Hoggle: Oh, uh, nothin'.
  • Jareth: [removing his disguise at the last second] Nothing? Nothing? NOTHING? Nothing, tra la la?
  • Ludo: [in the mirror] Goodbye, Sarah.
  • Didymus: And remember, fair maiden, should you need us...
  • Hoggle: Yes, should you need us, for any reason at all...
  • Sarah: I need you, Hoggle.
  • Hoggle: You do?
  • Sarah: [nods] I don't know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need you. All of you.
  • Hoggle: You do? Well... WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?
  • [she spins around and sees them all in her room, including the goblins. She hugs them all, and a huge party begins]
  • Hoggle: What did you have to go and do a thing like that for?
  • Sarah: Do what? You mean rescue you?
  • Hoggle: No! You kissed me!
  • Sarah: Ow! It bit me!
  • Hoggle: What'd you expect fairies to do?
  • Sarah: I thought they did nice things, like... like granting wishes.
  • Hoggle: Shows what *you* know, don't it?
  • Jareth: Higgle...
  • Hoggle: Hoggle!
  • Jareth: Yes, If I thought that for one second that you would betray me, I would be forced to suspend you, head first, in the Bog of Eternal Stench.
  • Hoggle: [falls to his knees] Oh no! Your Majesty, not the eternal stench!
  • Jareth: Oh, yes!
  • Didymus: [finally entering the castle] Well, come on then!
  • Sarah: No! I have to face him alone.
  • Didymus: But why?
  • Sarah: Because that's the way it's done!
  • Didymus: 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...
  • Sarah: I'll call.
  • Hoggle: You have to understand my position. I'm a coward. And Jareth scares me.
  • Sarah: What kind of a position is that?
  • Hoggle: No position! That's my point.
  • Hoggle: Them's my rightful property. It's not fair.
  • Sarah: No, it isn't. But that's the way it is.
  • Hoggle: And you wouldn't be so brave if you'd ever smelled the Bog of Eternal Stench. It's, it's...
  • Sarah: Is that all it does, is smell?
  • Hoggle: Oh, believe me, that's enough! But the worst thing is, if you so much as set a foot in the Bog of Stench, you'll smell bad for the rest of your life. It'll never wash off.
  • Sarah: [seeing a Goblin aiming his cannon at her] Whoa, Nellie, duck!
  • [the Goblin fires]
  • Hoggle: [laughs] Missed!
  • Hoggle: [they need to get out of the dungeon] Ah, this is what we need. A ladder. Follow me.
  • Sarah: How can I trust you now that you know you were taking me back to the beginning of the labyrinth?
  • Hoggle: [starts climbing, grunts] I wasn't. I told him I was taking you back to the beginning just to throw him off the scent.
  • Sarah: [looking up at him as he climbs] Hoggle, how can I believe anything you say?
  • Hoggle: Well,
  • [grunts]
  • Hoggle: let me put it this way. What choice have you got?
  • [grunts]
  • Sarah: You're right.
  • [follows him up the ladder]
  • Hoggle: Ooh. Plastic!
  • Hoggle: Hoggle ain't no one's friend. He looks after himself, like everyone. Hoggle is Hoggle's friend.
  • Hoggle: Oh, no... Not the CLEANERS!
  • Hoggle: Now, don't try to embarrass me. I've got no pride.
