• Colin : Are you making this magic?

  Colin : It's like the whole universe is in here.

  Mary : I'm certain it is.

  Colin : I wish I could marry you.

  Mary : What? But we're cousins!

  Colin : I don't care. I want us always to be together.

  Mary : We *are* together.

• Colin : Hair is dead.

  Mary : If hair is dead, why does it keep growing all the time, even after you're dead? Well, maybe not your hair. You'll probably be bald.

  Colin : Don't be daft. I'll die before I'm ever old enough to go bald.

  Mary : I hate the way you talk about dying.

  Colin : Everyone thinks I'll die.

  Mary : If everyone thought that about me, I wouldn't do it.

• Colin : What do you say in India when you want people to go?

  Mary : You say, I have spoken, all depart.

• Colin : I'm not sour!

• Colin : [after Mary pulls a pair of curtain open to reveal a picture of Colin's mother, her aunt]  That's my mother. My father never wants to see me. Because--I don't look *anything* like her. But *you*, you look like her.

  Mary : Why do you keep a curtain over her?

  Colin : She smiles too much.

  Mary : Smiles too much? How can anybody smile too much?

  Colin : Sometimes I hate her. She died when I was born.

  Mary : But I thought she died in her garden.

  Colin : Her garden? What garden?

  Mary : Oh, just a garden. There are so many of them here.

• Mary : [shouting for Colin to stop throwing a tantrum over possible spores in the air]  Stop it you, stop! I hate you! Everybody hates you! You're so selfish. You the most selfish boy there ever was!

  Colin : I'm not as selfish as you are! Just because I'm always ill!

  Mary : Nobody ill could scream like that!

  Colin : I'm going to die!

  Mary : What would you know about dying?

  Colin : My mother died!

  Mary : Both my parents died!

  Colin : I'll get a lump on a back; I'll get a lump like my father!

• Colin : I'm master of this house while my father is away.

  Mary : Your father? He's my uncle. Nobody told me he had a son.

  Colin : Come here. What's your name?

  Mary : Mary Lennox.

  Colin : I'm Colin Craven.

  Mary : Our mothers were sisters. Twins.

  Colin : Twins? Nobody told me she had a twin. Fluff the pillows for me, Cousin Mary.

  Mary : What?

  Colin : The covers on this bed are all twisted.

  Mary : Well, I don't know what to do about it. I'll call Mrs. Medlock.

  Colin : No! She'll be mad if she finds you in here.

• Ben Weatherstaff : But aren't your legs all crooked?

  Colin : Who says my legs are crooked?

  Mary : Nobody says that.

• Colin : I'm going to die.

  Mary : From what?

  Colin : [Shrugs]  Everything. I've spent my whole life in this bed.

• Mrs. Medlock : [to Colin]  Your father returns today.

  Colin : He won't want to see me.

  Mrs. Medlock : Perhaps he will.

• Colin : How old are you?

  Mary : Ten.

  Mary : [with an excited gasp]  We're the same age!
