Quotes
-
Princess Irene : Are you a ghost?
Great Great Grandmother Irene : No, but I'm not real, either.
Princess Irene : Are you some sort of... magic, then?
-
Princess Irene : She's here somewhere. She... she's just invisible at the moment.
Curdie : Your grandmother is invisible?
Princess Irene : Yes. But she is here, I know she is.
Curdie : Look, I'm glad you rescued me, but I dont' have time to play games.
Princess Irene : This isn't a game!
Curdie : No, it's dead serious. The goblins have a plan and you're a part of it. We can't waste our time with invisible grandmothers.
Princess Irene : You don't believe me, do you.
Curdie : Well... I...
Princess Irene : But I thought we were friends.
-
Great Great Grandmother Irene : My name is Irene, and I'm your great-great grandmother.
Princess Irene : I haven't got a great-great-great-great-grate-great grandmother.
Princess Irene : [laughs] I'm not as great as all that.
-
Princess Irene : You mustn't do that, you know what Looti's like. She's always worrying about straaaange stings.
Looti, the Princess's Nanny : [somewhere else] Straaaaange things. You never know when they might happen.
-
Princess Irene : Let me give you a kiss to thank you.
Curdie : [surprised] A kiss!
[they lean in]
Looti, the Princess's Nanny : Princess Irene what are you doing?
Curdie : Princess! You never told me you where a princess!
Princess Irene : You didn't ask.
-
Princess Irene : Goblins? Pets?
Curdie : Sure, everyone knows about the goblins and their pets... except people from the castle.
Princess Irene : Oh.
Curdie : You're from the castle right?
Princess Irene : Yes.
Curdie : And you don't know the way back.
Princess Irene : No.
Curdie : Typical. Alright follow me.
-
Curdie : Those goblins aren't so bad if you know how to deal with 'em.
Princess Irene : But they were horrible!
Curdie : I guess they are a little creepy, but you shouldn't run away; you have to face 'em and sing! Of course, singing doesn't always work down there...
Princess Irene : Down where?
Curdie : Underground, in the mines.
Princess Irene : The mines?
Curdie : Yeah, where they live: where my father works. Don't they teach you anything in that castle of yours?
Princess Irene : Of course they do; reading, writing, arithmetic...
Curdie : Arithmetic? Great; that'll work against the goblins. At least you'll be able to count them.
