Aunt Sponge • Glowworm
- [James has discovered he has changed]
- James: It's like he said: Marvelous things will happen.
- Glowworm: Did he say, "Marvelous pigs in satin"?
- Grasshopper: No, dear lady.
- [He takes out a megaphone and speaks through it]
- Grasshopper: Marvelous things will happen.
- [to James]
- Grasshopper: Poor Glowworm, she's a little deaf.
- Earthworm: I, on the other hand, have exquisite hearing.
- Centipede: Oh, yeah? Well, listen to this...
- [He spits into his many hands and grabs the megaphone and yells into it]
- Centipede: LET'S GET OUTTA HERE!
- Aunt Sponge: I look and smell, I do declare, as lovely as a rose. Just feast your eyes upon my face, observe my shapely nose. Behold my heavenly silky locks, and if I take off both my socks, you'll see my dainty toes.
- Aunt Spiker: But don't forget, my dearest Sponge, how much your tummy shows!
- [Gazing at the giant peach]
- Aunt Sponge: Can you smell that, Spikey? It smells delicious!
- Aunt Spiker: No! It smells like... money!
- Aunt Sponge: Here he is. Get up, you little worm! We sent you out here to kill a spider!
- Aunt Spiker: Not to laze about.
- James: I wasn't lazing about, I tripped.
- Aunt Sponge: How dare you disagree with us.
- Aunt Spiker: Beat him, Sponge!
- [comes to him, grabs him]
- Aunt Sponge: [sighs] It's too early.
- Aunt Spiker: Well, that makes you the luckiest boy alive. Now, come inside and get dressed!
- Aunt Sponge: You lazy bug! Who told you to stop working?
- James: I finished the wood.
- [Aunt Spiker snatches his travel book and sees it]
- Aunt Spiker: A travel book? How dare you even dream of leaving.
- [Spiker and Sponge grabs his arms to get him up]
- Aunt Sponge: This is the only home you'll ever had.
- Aunt Spiker: No one else would tolerate a worthless little nothing like you.
- [She gives to Sponge]
- Aunt Sponge: [sees his travel book] Where did you get this? Where?
- James: Father gave it to me. He said we were go there one day.
- Aunt Spiker: Stupid foolish man.
- Aunt Sponge: Foolish man, always dreaming. That's what got him killed.
- Aunt Spiker: And your mother.
- Aunt Sponge: Had his head in the clouds instead of looking where he was going!
- Aunt Spiker: He never even saw that rhino coming.
- Aunt Sponge: That rhino!
- Aunt Spiker: And the beast will get you too, if you don't behave.
- Aunt Sponge: [ripping his travel book] Now, get these stupid dreams out of your head!
- Aunt Spiker, Aunt Sponge: And get back to work!
- Aunt Spiker: [In New York, as James is about to reveal the aunts' cruelty] Come along. You're going home with us.
- James: No, I'm not.
- [Spiker cracks her neck and her smile turns into a scowl]
- Aunt Spiker: What did you say?
- James: I said... no... I'm... not! I hate that house and that cold room and how I was always hungry.
- Aunt Spiker: All right, that's enough!
- James: And how you beat me!
- Aunt Sponge: [gasps] He's lying!
- [the crowd gasp and utter in disbelieve]
- James: And told me I was nothing!
- Aunt Spiker: Shut up!
- Aunt Sponge: Shut up! Shut up!
- James: No, not this time! I flew the giant peach across the ocean. I landed on top of the tallest building in the world. I made it! I'm not the one who's nothing. You are! And I'm never going back with you! Not me and not the peach.
- Aunt Spiker: How dare you speak to us this way!
- [the aunts-turned-enemies grab fire axes, yell angrily and attack James, who scoots onto the truck's roof]
- Innocent Girl: Can we touch it?
- Aunt Spiker: Touch it? You want to touch it?
- Aunt Sponge: She'll be wanting to taste it next.
- Aunt Spiker: [Tears up ticket] Admission refused. This child has too many cheeky ideas. Go away!
- Aunt Sponge: Quite right.
- Grasshopper: [he heard in the distance] James! Up here!
- Glowworm: Hello! We're here!
- Centipede: Hey, buddy!
- Aunt Sponge: [stutters] What are they?
- Glowworm: [they grab one of their strings with seagulls on top] Young James.
- Centipede: Hey, Jimmy!
- Aunt Spiker: [looks up in fright] BUGS!
- Centipede: [the people looked at them] Need a little help down there?
- Aunt Sponge: [screams] GIANT BUGS!
- [Spiker and Sponge gasp in fright]
- Centipede: HEY, YOU OLD BIDDIES!
- [blows a raspberry on them]
- Aunt Sponge: [Spiker grabs Sponge's hand] Help us!
- Ladybug: Whoo-ee! Here we are, dear.
- Earthworm: Hello, James!
- James: [looks up at them] I TOLD you they were real.
- Grasshopper: Hello, old boy.
- Miss Spider: Requesting clearance to land.
- [the bugs land on the giant peach and Spiker and Sponge recoil in fright as the crowd gazes at the bugs]
- James: Miss Spider, throw me a string.
- [she tosses down a strand of thread to James, who lassoes Spiker and Sponge with it]
- James: Okay. Pull them up.
- [the bugs pull Spiker and Sponge up off the ground]
- Aunt Sponge: HELP!
- [Spiker and Sponge scream as they're pulled up and dangle from the crane hook]
- Aunt Sponge: Where are we going?
- James: Spin them around.
- Aunt Sponge: YOU LITTLE...
- [Grasshopper kicks Spiker and Sponge, causing them to spin around]
- James: Wrap them tightly!
- [Miss Spider throws a length of thread around Spiker and Sponge's legs as they spin, and their wigs fly off]
- James: Tighter! Tighter!
- [Spiker and Sponge spin even faster and faster as the thread wraps around them]
- Beat Cop: [watching everything with the crowd] Well, I'll be a... The kid was tellin' the truth.
- [Spiker and Sponge are now cocooned in thread]
- Beat Cop: [to crane operator] Get those two creeps OUTTA here!
- [the crane operator moves the crane away, taking Spiker and Sponge with it]
