Quotes10

  • Mr. Tumnus: [of Aslan] He's not a tame lion.
  • Lucy Pevensie: No... but he is good.
  • Mr. Tumnus, the Faun: And what about you? You must be some kind of beardless dwarf?
  • Lucy Pevensie: I'm not a dwarf! I'm a girl. And actually, I'm tallest in my class.
  • Mr. Tumnus, the Faun: You mean to say that you're a daughter of Eve?
  • Lucy Pevensie: [confused] Well, my mum's name is Helen...
  • Mr. Tumnus, the Faun: Y-Yes, but, you are in fact... human?
  • Lucy Pevensie: [holds out her hand] Pleased to meet you Mr. Tumnus, I'm Lucy Pevensie.
  • [Mr. Tumnus looks at her hand curiously]
  • Lucy Pevensie: Oh, you shake it.
  • Mr. Tumnus: Why?
  • Lucy Pevensie: I... I don't know.
  • Mr. Tumnus, the Faun: [to Lucy, speaking of Aslan] After all, he is not a tame lion.
  • Mr. Tumnus: [sees Lucy looking at picture] Now, that... that is my father.
  • Lucy Pevensie: He has a nice face. He looks a lot like you!
  • Mr. Tumnus: No. No, I'm not very much like him at all, really.
  • Lucy Pevensie: My father's fighting in the war.
  • Mr. Tumnus: My father went away to war too. But that was a long, long time ago.
  • Jadis The White Witch: Do you know why you're here, Faun?
  • Mr. Tumnus: Because, I believe in a free Narnia.
  • Jadis The White Witch: You're here because *he* turned you in... for sweeties.
  • Lucy Pevensie: Oh, I should go.
  • Mr. Tumnus: It's too late for that, now. I'm such a terrible faun.
  • Lucy Pevensie: Oh, no. You're the nicest faun I've ever met.
  • Mr. Tumnus: Then I'm afraid you've had a very poor sampling.
  • Lucy Pevensie: You can't have done anything that bad.
  • Mr. Tumnus: It's not something I have done, Lucy Pevensie. It's something I am doing.
  • Lucy Pevensie: [suspiciously] What are you doing?
  • Mr. Tumnus: [whispers and in tears] I'm kidnapping you. It was the White Witch. She's the one who makes it always winter, always cold. She gave orders. If any of us ever find a human wondering in the woods, we-we-we-we're supposed to turn it over to her!
  • Lucy Pevensie: But, Mr. Tumnus, you wouldn't. I thought you were my friend.
  • Mr. Tumnus: Now, are you familiar with any Narnian lullabies?
  • Lucy Pevensie: Sorry, no.
  • Mr. Tumnus: Well that's good, because this probably won't sound anything like one.
  • Mr. Tumnus: How would it be if you came and had tea with me?
  • Mr. Tumnus: Always winter, never Christmas.
