• [upon meeting Captain Ahab] 

  Fantasy : He's possessed!

  Horror : He's insane!

  Adventure : He's my kinda guy!

• Richard Tyler : Hey! How'd you get here?

  Fantasy : Quit it! We are in the presence of the Pagemaster.

  Richard Tyler : I *know* who he is. He's the guy who did all THIS to me! Do you have any idea what I've been through?

  The Pagemaster : Tell me.

  Richard Tyler : I was nearly torn to shreds by a crazy doctor, I was made a slave to a bunch of mangy pirates, and eaten. Got that? Eaten by a fire-breathing dragon!

  Horror : He don't mean it, my Pagemaster. He don't mean it.

  Richard Tyler : Not to mention being tossed, squashed, and scared practically to death!

  The Pagemaster : Yet you stand before me.

  Richard Tyler : Well, yeah.

  The Pagemaster : Think, boy. What kind of an adventure would you have had if I brought you here with the turn of a page?

• Horror : Horror always has sad endings.

  Fantasy : I come from a world of happy endings, why don't you come with us?

• Fantasy : What is this?

  Richard Tyler : It's a library card.

  Fantasy : I'm a book, honey, I can read.

• Fantasy : You know this short story?

  Richard Tyler : He's Adventure.

  Fantasy : Honey, that's what they all say.

• Richard Tyler : Fantasy!

  Fantasy : Naturally. Who were you expecting, honey? The Tooth Fairy?

• Horror : Sixteen men on a dead man's stomach...

  Fantasy : No, no! Chest! Chest!

• Adventure : How would you like to curl up with a good book?

  [Fantasy wallops him] 

  Adventure : Ow, me binding!

  Fantasy : In your dreams!

• Horror : [to Adventure]  I know I'm not your favorite kind of book, but I could be just like you.

  Adventure : You'll *never* be Adventure! You ain't got the spine for it!

  Fantasy : Come on, honey, even books have spines!

• Fantasy : Dr. Jekyll? Dr. J?

  Mr. Hyde : My name... is MR HYDE!

• Fantasy : [reading the names on a house]  Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde...

  [shrugs] 

  Fantasy : must be a duplex.

• Richard Tyler : Do I click my heels or something?

  Fantasy : You're in the wrong story, honey.

• Fantasy : What do you mean grabbing a person by the pantyhose like that? Now I've got to straighten out my Little Mermaid underwear.

• Horror : [meeting Richard and the gang for the first time, after falling off the top of Dr. Jekyll's house]  I scared you, I'm sorry.

  Fantasy : You mustn't judge a book by it cover.

  [to Richard] 

  Fantasy : Look, he's smiling.

  [Horror shows a homely, toothless, ghoulish grin] 

  Richard Tyler : That's a smile?

• Horror : [final lines; the three of them are in the dark treehouse]  It's dark out here. I wish there was a night-light.

  Fantasy : Honey, wish granted.

  [turns the lantern light on making Horror to shout 'hooray'] 

  Adventure : Breathe it in, mateys. This be the land of adventure. You can lay to that.

  [Horror is heard crying; Fantasy comforts him affectionately] 

  Fantasy : Come here, handsome. Why you cryin'?

  Horror : [sniffles]  Because I have friends.

  Adventure : [chuckles]  That you do, matey. Aye, that you do. Ahem. You know what would make this a happy ending? A kiss.

  Horror : [misinterpreting]  Okay.

  [kisses Adventure] 

  Adventure : I meant from her!
