Quotes 

• Jacob Grimm : It's this way, Will!

  Will Grimm : No, no, it's not, it's not. It's that way! Grandmother Toad told me!

  Jacob Grimm : What?

  Will Grimm : [dead serious]  Trust the toad!

• [while Angelika is skinning and gutting a rabbit] 

  Jacob Grimm : Miss, we believe your village may be under some kind of curse...

  Angelika : You think I care about the village?

  [Finished, she tosses her knife onto a table. It lands with a clatter. Cavaldi yells, spins around, and throws a knife, impaling a dead rabbit on the wall. Will and Jake give girly shrieks, but Angelika just glares] 

  Cavaldi : Scusi... but he was trying to run away.

• Jacob Grimm : [about the Mirror Queen]  She's still there, Will! She's still alive! Sh-she's up in the tower.

  Will Grimm : What, for five hundred years?

  Jacob Grimm : Yeah, but they haven't been kind, I can tell you that, Will!

• Hidlick : How comes he gets to do the monsters, I end up playin' the girlie ghosts?

  Will Grimm : Because you, my friend, have talent. You've got range.

  Bunst : And what do I have, Will?

  Will Grimm : You, my handsome friend, you have heart.

  Jacob Grimm : And you, Will, have enough bullshit to fill the Palace of Versailles.

• Will Grimm : Ignore him. He wishes his whole life was something out of a book. And now he thinks he's in love.

  Jacob Grimm : Shut up, Will!

  Will Grimm : Angelika, do what your father wanted: leave the village now.

  Angelika : No, Will. I'm gonna find my sisters.

  Jacob Grimm : Will doesn't care about them. Will doesn't care about anything but himself!

  Will Grimm : This isn't a fairy tale. They are not coming back!

  Jacob Grimm : This is not your world, Will!

  [to Angelika] 

  Jacob Grimm : Angelika, you know, don't you? The story, it's happening to us now. We're living it. It's-it's alive, it's real, it's breathing. And we can give it a happy ending.

  Angelika : Jake...

  Jacob Grimm : Angelika, we'll find your sisters. All right? We'll bring them back.

  Will Grimm : [getting angry]  Bring back her sisters?

  [kicks Jacob] 

  Will Grimm : Bring them back? Bring them back with what? Magic beans?

  Jacob Grimm : Why do you say that?

  Will Grimm : Magic beans don't work! They don't bring people back to life! They did not then and they will not now! You go wait by the horses! Jacob, wait by the horses!

• [last lines] 

  Will Grimm : I've been thinking of an alternative career path.

  Jacob Grimm : Will.

  Will Grimm : One that uses all of our new expertise.

  Jacob Grimm : Will.

  Will Grimm : Now, I haven't really sorted it yet...

  Jacob Grimm : Will, Will, Will, listen. This is the real world. We're-we're men without a country, we're enemies of the state, and worst of all we haven't a single bean to our name.

  Will Grimm : It's a good name, though, isn't it?

  Jacob Grimm : It's a damn good name. Let's dance. Come on!

• Will Grimm : [after escaping from a French guard, screaming like a girl]  RUN!

  Jacob Grimm : [pinned to the floor by another French guard]  Will! Will, wait!

  Will Grimm : [running out of the inn]  Never fear, Jake!

  Jacob Grimm : [screaming]  Will! WILL!

  Will Grimm : I shall return for you...!

  [a bola trips Will up] 

  Cavaldi : Nice try.

• Will Grimm : He can't hold his ale!

  Jacob Grimm : I can't hold me ale!

• Will Grimm : [Jacob goes into kiss to wake him up]  Not you.

  Jacob Grimm : [Snaps his head away and looks around]  uh... perhaps you should give it a try Angelika.

• Will Grimm : Jake, you're wearing a bonnet!

  Jacob Grimm : Well, so are you!

• Will Grimm : All right, Jake. What do you want me to do?

  Jacob Grimm : Honestly? You're my brother. I want you to believe in me.

• Mirror Queen : He's dying Jacob.

  Jacob Grimm : Leave him alone!

  Mirror Queen : Because of you. Can you save him? Do you have your magic beans? Because I do.

• Cavaldi : Ik, ik, ak, ek, ek!

  Jacob Grimm : [sleepily]  What's going on?

  Cavaldi : How can you speak-a this language? Every word is like an execution.

• Jacob Grimm : It's not beans! It's real.

• Will Grimm : [about taking women upstairs]  What do you say, Jake? A little chit, a little chat?

  Jacob Grimm : A little huff, a little puff? Thank you very much, Will.

• Cavaldi : Your horses are ready.

  [out the window] 

  Cavaldi : Avanti!

  [Outside, two soliders set fire to the tails of the brothers' horses. They run away, trailing two ropes] 

  Jacob Grimm : [looks down; sleepily]  You've got rope tied around your foot.

  Cavaldi : Ciao!

  [the ropes snap taught and the Brothers Grimm are yanked off their feet and dragged out the door]
