Mary Lennox
I didn't cry because I do not know how to cry.
My mother didn't have time to tell me stories.
What? You thought I was a what? You...You...You daughter of a pig!
May I have a bit of earth?
I've stolen a garden. But it may already be dead, I don't know.
If you scream another scream, I will scream too. And I can scream louder than you, and for longer.
Be quiet! You're the most selfish boy that ever was! I hate you!
No one who's ill can scream like that!
[last line] The spell was broken. My uncle learned to laugh, and I learned to cry. The secret garden is always open now. Open, and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.
Colin
I'm master when my father's away.
Spores are the little things in the wind that get stuck to your lungs.
I'm coming back tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that.
I don't care.
I'm not sour!
Martha
When they said you were coming from India I thought you were going to be a native.
I thought all little girls liked to be tickled.
Begging your pardon, Miss.
Dialogue
Colin: Mary! Mary! What about the spores?! Can you see them?! Mary! Mary! Mary! Oh, no! [falls out of his wheelchair and onto the floor screaming and crying]
Martha: Lem, come here and help me please! [Colin continues screaming and crying] Put him on the bed! [to Colin] Calm yourself, Master Colin. Just calm down, calm down. [to Lem] Go and see if Mrs. Medlock's back! [to Colin] Shh, calm down! Calm down, please! God.
[Lord Craven finds Mary sitting alone crying on the moor, after having been led there by Colin]
Lord Craven: Are you out here all by yourself?
Mary: It-It wasn’t wanted.
Lord Craven: What wasn’t wanted?
Mary: The-The garden.
Lord Craven: You’re right, I never wanted to see it again.
Mary: You never wanted to see Colin.
Lord Craven: You brought us back to life, Mary, you did something I thought no one could do, I won't shut it up again, I promise, forgive me.
[Relieved, Mary hugs her uncle]
