Quotes3

  • [last lines]
  • Professor Kirke: What were you all doing in the wardrobe?
  • Peter Pevensie: You wouldn't believe us if we told you, sir.
  • Professor Kirke: [tosses the cricket ball that had been hit through the window, to Peter]
  • Professor Kirke: Try me.
  • [later, alone with Lucy, who is trying to use the wardrobe to enter Narnia]
  • Professor Kirke: I don't think you'll get back in that way. You see... I've already tried.
  • Lucy Pevensie: Will we ever go back?
  • Professor Kirke: Oh, I expect so. But it'll probably happen when you're not looking for it. All the same... best to keep your eyes open.
  • [Aslan roars]
  • Susan Pevensie: [about Lucy] She thinks she's found a magical land... In the upstairs wardrobe.
  • Professor Kirke: [eyes widening, he rushes to the children] What did you say?
  • Peter Pevensie: Um, the wardrobe. Upstairs. Lucy thinks she's found a forest inside.
  • Susan Pevensie: She won't stop going on about it.
  • Professor Kirke: What was it like?
  • Susan Pevensie: Like talking to a lunatic.
  • Professor Kirke: No, no, no. Not her, the forest!
  • Susan Pevensie: [stares] You're not saying you believe her?
  • Professor Kirke: You don't?
  • Susan Pevensie: But, of course not. I mean, logically it's impossible.
  • Professor Kirke: What do they teach in schools these days?
  • Professor Kirke: You seem to have upset the delicate internal balance of my housekeeper.
  • Peter Pevensie: We're very sorry, sir, it won't happen again.
  • Susan Pevensie: It's our sister, sir. Lucy.
  • Professor Kirke: The weeping girl?
  • Susan Pevensie: Yes, sir. She's upset.
  • Professor Kirke: Hence the weeping.
