Edward Duke of Castlebury : What is this?
Ashton Prince of Castlebury : It's a Christmas tree, Father.

Jules Daly : I bought it.
Edward Duke of Castlebury : I expressly told you I do not want...
Maddie Huntington : [giving an ornament to him] Here, Grandfather. We saved the prettiest one for you. Ashton said it's your favorite.
Edward Duke of Castlebury : Oh, he did, did he?
Maddie Huntington : Do you remember it?
Edward Duke of Castlebury : Yes, I remember it. My elder brother and I were... were each given one at Christmas, and... I broke mine. Oh, how I cried. He gave me his. I thought it was lost forever.
Jules Daly : Well, there's a special place for it right over here.
Edward Duke of Castlebury : Thank you, Jules. It is a... lovely tree.
Jules Daly : You're welcome. But it really was a team effort. Come on, Edward. There's still plenty of tree left to decorate.
Edward Duke of Castlebury : Oh, the staff can take care of that.
Jules Daly : Oh, no. It's one of the best parts about Christmas, the family all decorating the tree together.
Ashton Prince of Castlebury : Come and join us, Father.
Edward Duke of Castlebury : You're right, my dear.

Edward Duke of Castlebury : Children, I have been thinking that, as you're both Huntingtons, it's my duty to expand your cultural education.

Edward Duke of Castlebury : Now, you have the choice of language, literature, music, dance, or art.

Jules Daly : [breaking up a fight between the kids] Are you gonna tell me which one of you two started this?
Maddie Huntington : He did it!

Ashton Prince of Castlebury : Well, now we're all friends here, why don't you two help Paisley with his chores?
Milo Huntington , Paisley Winterbottom : Chores?
Ashton Prince of Castlebury : Yes. Feeding the Shetland ponies.
Maddie Huntington : [excited] Ponies?
Paisley Winterbottom : Well, I say, sir, what a splendid idea. Come along, children. Let's go find some carrots.

Maddie Huntington : Aunt Jules, do you think Santa will be able to find us even if there is no Christmas tree or twinkle lights?
Jules Daly : Don't you worry. Santa knows who all the good little boys and girls are.

Jules Daly : [out Christmas shopping] Kids, look. A choir.
Maddie Huntington : They're orphans, like us.
Jules Daly : Well, yeah. But you have me. Both of you do.

Jules Daly : You all ready for bed, sweetheart?
Maddie Huntington : Uh-huh.
Jules Daly : Have you said your prayers yet?
Maddie Huntington : Not yet.
[putting her hands together]
Maddie Huntington : God bless Mommy and Daddy in heaven, Aunt Jules, and Milo, too. And if it's not too much to ask, could you please tell Grandpa not to be so grumpy so we can all have a merry Christmas? Amen.
Jules Daly : Oh, honey. I know he's not the warm, fuzzy grandpa you wished for, but, you know, it's important not to give up on people.
Maddie Huntington : He wasn't nice to Mommy and Daddy, was he?
Jules Daly : No, he wasn't. But, you know, they loved him anyway. So maybe it's time for us to open our hearts and forgive him, too.
Maddie Huntington : So you don't think they'd be mad we're here?
Jules Daly : No. I think they'd be glad. It's a big step for your grandpa to invite you and Milo to Castlebury.

Milo Huntington : Who's he?
Maddie Huntington : Paisley Winterbottom.
Paisley Winterbottom : And I'm here to invite all three of you to spend Christmas at Castlebury Hall.
Milo Huntington : Where's that?
Paisley Winterbottom : Stone's throw from Liechtenstein.
Jules Daly : It doesn't matter. We're not going.
Maddie Huntington : Why not?
Jules Daly : Well, for one, I have a job.
Paisley Winterbottom : Uh, but your former employer relieved you of that responsibility.
Milo Huntington : No way. You got fired?
Paisley Winterbottom : The airline tickets will be arriving this evening, and I, uh, I have a check to cover your traveling expenses.
Milo Huntington : [seeing the amount] Whoa!
Jules Daly : We don't accept handouts from gutless, guilty family members.
Paisley Winterbottom : But I was told not to return to Castlebury without you.
Jules Daly : Well, then you're just gonna have to move to Buffalo.

Maddie Huntington : Milo, open up! We have an emergency!
[he opens his bedroom door, panting]
Maddie Huntington : You left the house. I'm telling.
Milo Huntington : One word, and Dolly Dinkle loses her head. Got it?
[she nods]
Milo Huntington : Good.
-
Jules Daly : Don't cry.
Maddie Huntington : But Milo said there wasn't a Santa.
Jules Daly : Honey, he didn't mean it. Just because it's only the three of us now doesn't mean there's no Santa Claus. You just have to believe, is all.
Maddie Huntington : I... I believe.
Jules Daly : [kissing the top of her head] Me, sweetie. Me, too.
-
Edward Duke of Castlebury : Milo, what is that you're wearing?
Milo Huntington : It's a Swashbucklers jersey.
Edward Duke of Castlebury : Oh, you're a swordsman?
Maddie Huntington : [giggling] No, silly.
Jules Daly : It's a hockey team.
Edward Duke of Castlebury : I detest hockey. Bunch of thugs skating around with missing teeth. Now, cricket, that is a man's game. That is a sport.

Paisley Winterbottom : This is the Great Hall. It was originally Baroque, was remodeled in the Empire style in 1852.
Milo Huntington : [awed] Wow.
Maddie Huntington : Whoa.
Jules Daly : We're not in Buffalo anymore.
Paisley Winterbottom : The servants will show you to your quarters. I shall go and inform His Grace that you've arrived. This way, please.
Jules Daly : [slipping on the floor] Whoa, that's slick.
Mrs. Birch : Yes. We keep it waxed.
-
Milo Huntington : [seeing the house servants awaiting their arrival] Who are they?
Jules Daly : I think this is the staff.
Paisley Winterbottom : Let me introduce you to everyone. They're all terribly excited to meet you. This is Mrs. Birch, the head housekeeper, who will give you any assistance required, Miss Daly.
Jules Daly : Hi, there. Just Jules is fine. What should I call you?
Mrs. Birch : [stiffly] Mrs. Birch.
Jules Daly : Okay.
Paisley Winterbottom : And this is Abigail, who'll be looking after Miss Maddie.
Maddie Huntington : You're pretty.
Paisley Winterbottom : And this is Floyd, the under-butler, who'll be looking after Master Milo.
Milo Huntington : I have a butler? That's insane.
[attracted to her]
Milo Huntington : Actually, can I have Abigail instead?
-
Paisley Winterbottom : Welcome to Castlebury Hall.
Maddie Huntington : Wow! It's a castle.
Milo Huntington : It's a mega mansion.
Jules Daly : It's... it's a nightmare. Kids, you can't break anything here.

Mrs. Kelly : I can't take this anymore!
Maddie Huntington : [showing Jules her headless doll] He's a murderer!
Milo Huntington : You asked for it.
Jules Daly : Okay, okay. What happened?
Maddie Huntington : Aunt Jules, Milo killed Dolly Dinkle.
Mrs. Kelly : And he snuck out again.
Jules Daly : You snuck out?
Mrs. Kelly : Yeah. Wait 'til you see the laundry room.
Jules Daly : Mrs. Kelly, I am so sorry.
Mrs. Kelly : Ha!
[as she turns around, Jules sees washing machine soap all over her back; collecting her things, her purse stays where it is]
Jules Daly : Milo, did you glue her purse?
Mrs. Kelly : [wrenching it free] That's it. I quit!
Jules Daly : Oh, no, no, no, Mrs. Kelly. You can't quit. I need you.
Mrs. Kelly : What you need is a SWAT team.
[glancing at her purse in agony]
Mrs. Kelly : Oh!
Jules Daly : [following her to the door] W-Wait! Wait, wait, wait!
Mrs. Kelly : And one more thing: your check bounced. Again.
