Quotes
-
Princess Irene : She's here somewhere. She... she's just invisible at the moment.
Curdie : Your grandmother is invisible?
Princess Irene : Yes. But she is here, I know she is.
Curdie : Look, I'm glad you rescued me, but I dont' have time to play games.
Princess Irene : This isn't a game!
Curdie : No, it's dead serious. The goblins have a plan and you're a part of it. We can't waste our time with invisible grandmothers.
Princess Irene : You don't believe me, do you.
Curdie : Well... I...
Princess Irene : But I thought we were friends.

Curdie : Those goblins aren't so bad if you know how to deal with 'em.
Princess Irene : But they were horrible!
Curdie : I guess they are a little creepy, but you shouldn't run away; you have to face 'em and sing! Of course, singing doesn't always work down there...
Princess Irene : Down where?
Curdie : Underground, in the mines.
Princess Irene : The mines?
Curdie : Yeah, where they live: where my father works. Don't they teach you anything in that castle of yours?
Princess Irene : Of course they do; reading, writing, arithmetic...
Curdie : Arithmetic? Great; that'll work against the goblins. At least you'll be able to count them.

Curdie : It's a village - a goblin village! That must be where the goblins live.
