James and the Giant Peach (film)

"[As he sees Spider crawling on his bedroom window] Hello there. Where did you come from? [holds out his hand for Spider to land on] You know, you probably shouldn't build your web up here in the window. Spiker and Sponge might see you, and they hate spiders. [places Spider on his chair] I will be your friend, though."

"[to the other bugs, while riding on Miss Spider's back] Stay by the line. And when you feel two tugs, pull us up."

"When I had a problem, my mom and dad would tell me to look at it another way."

"It's the Rhino."

"[yelling at the Rhinoceros] YOU ARE NOT EVEN A REAL RHINO. YOU ARE JUST A LOT OF SMOKE AND NOISE. [The Rhinoceros roars] I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU. [The Rhinoceros charges at James] I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU."

"[after seeing Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge emerge from the car, completely drenched] No."

"[standing up to Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge] No, not this time. I flew the peach across the ocean. I landed on top of the tallest building in the world. I made it! I am not the one who's nothing, you are. And I am never going back with you. Not me, and not the peach."

"And the beast will get you, too...if you don't behave."

"Careful, Spongy. Wouldn't want to ruin that girlish figure."

"What's going on out here."

"Shut up, you little grub. This has nothing to do with you, so just keep away from it."

"No. [stopping Sponge from eating the peach] It smells like money."

"Start, start, you piece of junk."

"Look. That little maggot's stuffing his face with our peach. Get him, Sponge."

"How dare you speak to us this way."

"How dare you disagree with us?!"

"You can't crawl away from us!"

"Can you smell that, Spikey? It smells delicious."

"Roll up, roll up! SEE THE GIANT PEACH! The eighth wonder of the World!"

"No peeking at the peach. Have your money ready, ladies and gentlemen."

"Listen to me, kid. I know a place that will refresh your memory."

"Time to go make a pest of myself."

"[after the robotic shark is defeated] Teach you to mess with me, you overgrown sardine. I'm from Brooklyn."

"[screams as he sees that Captain Jack is holding his suspenders] I should have worn a belt."

"[as he, Spider, and James escape Captain Jack, his pet Parrot Skeleton, and his crew of Pirate Skeletons (Viking, Eskimo, The Flying Dutchman, and Pegleg)] Hey, I got a good one for you. What don't you have skeletons play music in church. Because they got no ORGANS."

"[as he tries to steer the peach; Yawns] Oh, boy, what I would have to do for a cup of coffee. [grunts and groans] Cup of joe."

"[as Mr. Grasshopper relieves him of his post] I said I steer the peach...have steer the peach. Can't quit...now. [sleepily; after Grasshopper puts him in a chair and covers him with a blanket] Thanks...Mr. Grasshopper..."

"Kid, you are stuck with us for life."

"No, it couldn't be."

"[after Miss Spider tells James that no one will be eating him] Naw, she will just puncture your head and suck out the brains."

"[when New Yorkers ask to eat the peach; to James] It won't keep forever."

"[repeated line] Fascinating, isn't it."

"[to Mr. Centipede] You incompetent, blithering nitwit!"

"Mr. Centipede, would you please do us the honor of navigating us out of this icebox."

"[to Mr. Centipede, warmly] I say, old sport. Came to relieve you of your duties."

"I dunno what it is! Just get us the biggest crane in New York!"

"[as Spiker and Sponge are being tied up] Well, I will be...The kid was telling the truth. [determined] Get those two creeps OUT OF HERE."
