The Lord of Darkness:
Every wolf suffers fleas. 'Tis easy enough to scratch!
Princess Lily:
I hear a throat begging to be cut!
The Lord of Darkness:
Are you so eager to see blood flow?
Princess Lily:
As eager as you are to drink it!
Princess Lily:
Are you afraid to kiss me, Jack?
Jack:
I'm afraid you'll break my heart.
Princess Lily:
Then still your heart, for you are dear to me.
The Lord of Darkness:
The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity.
The Lord of Darkness:
What is light without dark?

Blix:
Higher, higher, burning fire, making music like a choir!
Princess Lily:
This place holds more magic for me than any palace in the world.
Blix:
Black as midnight, black as pitch, blacker than the foulest witch.
Pox:
[
to Blix] You only got the shot in 'cause the Princess was there! Wrong! 'Twas Beauty led the Beast to bay!
Blunder:
She was so sweet, I could eat her brains like jam!
Pox:
I could suck her bones...
Blix:
Enough! Better hurry. Dark Lord, he don't like to wait.
Blix:
This shot be just as sweet as pie.
Blix:
May be innocent, may be sweet... ain't half as nice as rotting meat.
Honeythorn Gump:
Love you say? Well love is another matter.

the goblins spy on the unicorns]
Blunder:
[
pointing] Look! Ugly one-horned mule!
Oona:
What care I for human hearts? Soft and spiritless as porridge! A faerie's heart beats fierce and free!
Blix:
Mortal world turned to ice... Here be goblin paradise!
Princess Lily:
You are nothing but an animal!
The Lord of Darkness:
[
laughs] We are all animals m'lady.
Screwball:
I vote we run like hell.
Brown Tom:
I second the motion.
Jack:
How do you know my name?
[
cranes head away in annoyance from Oona, who is buzzing around his head]
Jack:
Stop it! Go away!
Honeythorn Gump:
I know everything, Jack. Yet I do not understand what has happened today. Suppose you tell me, Jack? You know these woods as well as any elf. Did you not see something odd today, any strange spirits? Did nothing untoward happen?
Jack:
I took Lily to see the unicorn...
Honeythorn Gump:
[
In outrage] You did WHAT?
[
the other elves chatter noisily]
Honeythorn Gump:
SILENCE!
[
They hush]
[
repeated line]
Jack:
I trust you, Lily.
Meg Mucklebones:
What a fine fat boy you are, Jack!
Jack:
You don't really mean to eat me, do you, ma'am?
Meg Mucklebones:
Oh, indeed I do!
[
cackles]
Jack:
That would be a shame because someone as fair and lovely as yourself, Miss Meg, deserves far better than scrawny me. Don't you think?
Meg Mucklebones:
Think me fair, do you, Jack?
Jack:
All the heavenly angels must envy your beauty.
Meg Mucklebones:
[
cackles] What a fine meal you'll make, be the rest of you as sweet as your tongue!
[
cackles]
The Lord of Darkness:
Oh, Mother Night! Fold your dark arms about me. Protect me in your black embrace. I sit alone, an impotent exile, whilst this form, this presence, returns to torment me!
The Lord of Darkness:
Father, protect me!
The Lord of Darkness:
I require the solace of the shadows and the dark of the night. Sunshine is my destroyer.
Screwball:
There's only one thing I want to know.
Brown Tom:
What?
Screwball:
WHY ME?
Princess Lily:
Neither country proverb nor King's command could keep me from the woods, today.
Blix:
Magic horn is mine, mine, mine! Now all creatures will love the night, and worship goblins as divine.
Blunder:
You shouldn't talk like that, Blix.
Blix:
Why not? I've got the power now.
Blunder:
[
spits] Plenty big talk!
