Where the Wild Things Are (2009)

Lenora Crichlow: Annie Sawyer

Quotes 

• Seth : What the cock is that?

  Annie : I'm a ghost, actually.

  Seth : Get out. Can you like, move things about and, y'know, walk from one room to another?

  George : [pause]  Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone can do that.

• Annie : [about to walk through a door to the other side]  Oh, it's cold.

  George : [There's a knock on the door. George and Annie scream]  There's someone behind the door!

  Mitchell : No, no, no, it's all right. It's the other door.

  Annie : What?

  Mitchell : It's the front door.

  Annie : Oh my bloody God.

  George : I actually let out a little bit of wee there.

• Annie : I want to scare him, to make him... cry and beg and scream. It's not just about justice. It's more jagged than that. Is that wrong?

  George : It's human. Not everything about being human is nice.

• Annie : There's a question you haven't asked yourself yet. If I exist, what else does? You think you're the big bad wolf? You should see George on a full moon. You think you're a cold-blooded murderer? Mitchell was killing eighty years before you were even born. Don't you get it yet? I'm just the tip of the iceberg. I'm good cop. Look at you, so pleased with your grubby little murder. Fact is, when it comes to pure, naked evil, you're an amateur. I want you to know you've wandered off the path. This is where the wild things are, and we've got your scent now. We can find you at the edge of the earth and create unimaginable tortures, and now I'm going to tell you the very worst thing in the world, something only the dead know.

  [Whispers to him] 

  Owen : [horrified]  That's not true!

  Annie : I've seen it. My advice to you? Find a safe place with locks and bad dogs, and never, *ever* turn out the light.

• Mitchell : [as Annie stands before the portal to the afterlife]  You're lucky. Most people don't get a chance to say goodbye.

  Annie : I know, but... fucking Hell!

  George : No, you might want to have different last words.

• George Sands : [Hits a vampire over the head]  Who wants some of my chair?

  Annie : [pause]  Totally should have prepared something.

• George : All right, well, could I just, um, state for the record that, uh, I understand why you're doing this, but I don't want you to go?

  Annie : [a little taken aback]  Noted.

• George : Annie? Annie? Annie! We've got to rescue Mitchell. The thing with the vampires? Oh my god! It's a lot worse than we thought. So this woman, at the hospital, she's fr- No, I'll tell you on the way. They're based at an undertakers. Stereotypes clearly hold no fear for these people.

  [Rummaging through drawers] 

  George : I have no idea what, what I'm looking for. Something to, something to defend myself with, but you know, so far I have a whisk and my- and my... mobile phone recharger.

  [Tries them out] 

  George : I mean what do we take? Do we take crosses and garlic? I know, we should have watched more films! We should, you should grab something... Um, any, any time you want to chip in, say something constructive, do feel free.

  Annie : I can't

  George : I'm sorry? What did you say?

  Annie : It's beaten me. I can't... move. I can't... Owen's won. I can't touch him. He just keeps on killing me.

  George : Okay. First off, you need to stop talking. Then you need to stand up and *help*.

  Annie : You don't understand.

  George : No! Mitchell, our friend, needs you. Your friend. So if you can't do this then you have done to yourself the one thing Owen could never do. Because then you have finally died.

• George : More jam?

  Annie : How many is that now?

  George : That's eleven jars. I wonder what it is about us that says we need jam.

  Annie : It's a gesture. They feel guilty.

  George : Yeah. So is writing "pedo" on the front door.

• Annie : I went ahead to check the coast was clear!

  Mitchell : Is it?

  Annie : Very much not.

  Mitchell : Well did anyone see you?

  [There's banging at the door] 

  Annie : Possibly.

• George : [about Owen discovering Annie]  He didn't freak out? At all?

  Annie : It makes sense really when you think about it. We were expecting him to react like a sane person, even though this is someone who killed his fiancé, concealed it, and then rented out the crime scene.

• [Mitchell, Annie, and George are trying to escape from the vampires' lair] 

  Mitchell : Annie! Get away from here!

  Annie : No! I'm not going to leave you!

  George : Annie, just go!

  [Flashes his Star of David at Seth] 

  Seth : That's not going to work this time, Digby. There's too many of us.

  Mitchell : Let them go, Seth. If you let them go, I swear I won't run.

  Seth : [ripping sound is heard]  Ow...

  [Seth looks down to see a wooden stake protruding from his chest. He then collapses and dies] 

  Lauren : Well, he won't be staring at my tits when he speaks to me anymore.

• Annie : Look, if I wanted to keep you here I would have chopped your feet off.

  Janey : [Later]  I'm seeing things! It's Annie, she's here. Owen, she was going to chop my feet off!

  Annie : Okay, that is totally out of context.

• Owen : Hey Annie? That the best you got? I knew it. I fucking knew it. All that stuff happening at my house. I thought it was just... guilt.

  [He laughs] 

  Owen : See I should have known that even death wouldn't be a match for one of your sulks. I mean that's what this is, isn't it? It's the Isle of Wight all over again.

  Annie : A sulk? You killed me.
