John Glenarvan : When we first met, I had a different impression. Most girls can be rather silly. Do you know what I mean?
Mary Grant : No, I don't.
John Glenarvan : Well... you're different.
Mary Grant : How different?
John Glenarvan : I don't know how to say it. I had it all worked out last night. Sounds rather silly now, though.
Mary Grant : What does?
John Glenarvan : Well, you don't expect things of a girl, certain things like climbing mountains, going through floods, making the most of it. You know what I mean?
Mary Grant : Don't think I do.
John Glenarvan : Well, I want to say that... I think you've been just *fine*... for a girl. Well, what I really mean is that - if we get out of here alive, and when we're old enough...
Mary Grant : John?
John Glenarvan : Mary.
Mary Grant : There's the log you've needed for your raft.

John Glenarvan : Now just a minute! Don't forget that it was me who arranged -
[Mary's kiss instantly silences him]
Mary Grant : Thank you!

Mary Grant : Just think: If he hadn't put the note in the bottle, and if Monsieur Paganel hadn't caught that shark...
John Glenarvan : And if you hadn't tried to slapped my face that morning on the way to Plymouth, I wouldn't have talked my father into making this trip.
Mary Grant : Funny how things work out, isn't it?
-
Mary Grant : Here we are, all of us together.
John Glenarvan : All of us. Did you ever see so many stars?
Mary Grant : Once, on top of a mountain.
John Glenarvan : Did you know that down there out of the light, you can see the Southern Cross?
Mary Grant : Southern Cross?
[they stroll off, alone]

John Glenarvan : By Jove, that was a narrow squeak!
[ledge collapses underneath them]

Lord Glenarvan : My dear boy, if that's the way you feel about it, let's have a look at the blasted note. Where is it?
John Glenarvan : In the bottle.
Lord Glenarvan : Well, where's the bottle?
John Glenarvan : The Frenchman has it.
Lord Glenarvan : Confounded, where's the Frenchman?
John Glenarvan : You had him thrown off the ship in Glasgow.
-
John Glenarvan : Wait! I want to make a wish on that star.
Mary Grant : What could *you* wish for that you haven't got?
John Glenarvan : That my father would go somewhere and get lost. Just for a little while, you understand.
-
Lord Glenarvan : [as John starts to put his hand on Mary's shoulder] Ah, there you are, my boy. Better get some sleep, you know. Got an early start.
John Glenarvan : We're too excited to sleep.
Lord Glenarvan : Hmm. So I see! You'd better come along with me, just the same.

Jacques Paganel : Merci merci merci beaucoup, merci milord Glenarvan!
[the group starts to dance around Glenarvan]
Jacques Paganel , Mary Grant , Robert Grant , John Glenarvan : Merci merci merci beaucoup, merci milord Glenarvan!
Jacques Paganel : Hooray!

Lord Glenarvan : That's a fine thing. When I really want something, no one takes the slightest notice. If I happen to drop a casual remark...
John Glenarvan : Casual remark? "Throw him off the ship before I call the police! We ought to hang him from the yardarm!"
-
Lord Glenarvan : My dear children, ever since I posted the reward for news of your father's ship, people have been turning up with notes they claimed to have found in bottles. How many is this, John?
John Glenarvan : Uh, twenty-two, father.
Lord Glenarvan : If I had my way, every last one of the culprits would be hanged from the yardarm. Exploiting human misery, that's what it is. Nothing more vicious, more... treacherous.
