• Sarah : You're horrible!

  Hoggle : No, I ain't. I'm Hoggle.

• Jareth : Hello, Hedgewart.

  Sarah : Hogwart.

  Hoggle : Hog-gle!

• Jareth : And Hoggle, if she ever kisses you, I'll turn you into a prince.

  Hoggle : Y-you will?

  Jareth : Prince of the Land of Stench!

  [laughs] 

• First Statue : Don't go on...

  Second Statue : Go back, while you still can...

  Third Statue : This is not the way...

  Fourth Statue : Take heed, and go no further...

  Fifth Statue : Beware, beware...

  Sixth Statue : Soon it will be too late...

  Hoggle : Ah, don't pay any attention to them, they're just false alarms. You get a lot of them in the Labyrinth, especially when you're on the right track.

  Seventh Statue : Oh, no you're not!

  Hoggle : Oh, shut up.

  Seventh Statue : I'm sorry, I'm just doing my job.

  Hoggle : Just forget it.

  Eighth Statue : [normal voice]  Oh, please. I haven't said it in such a long time.

  Hoggle : Oh, all right. But don't expect a big reaction.

  Eighth Statue : No, no, no, of course not.

  Eighth Statue : [clears throat, deep, booming voice]  For the path you will take will lead you to certain destruction!

  [normal voice] 

  Eighth Statue : Thank you very much.

• Jareth : Ah, what have we here?

  Hoggle : Oh, uh, nothin'.

  Jareth : [removing his disguise at the last second]  Nothing? Nothing? NOTHING? Nothing, tra la la?

• Hoggle : This is an oubliette, labyrinth's full of 'em.

  Sarah : Really. I didn't know that.

  Hoggle : Oh don't act so smart. You don't even know what an oubliette is.

  Sarah : Do you?

  Hoggle : Yes. It's a place you put people... to forget about 'em!

• Ludo : [in the mirror]  Goodbye, Sarah.

  Didymus : And remember, fair maiden, should you need us...

  Hoggle : Yes, should you need us, for any reason at all...

  Sarah : I need you, Hoggle.

  Hoggle : You do?

  Sarah : [nods]  I don't know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need you. All of you.

  Hoggle : You do? Well... WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?

  [she spins around and sees them all in her room, including the goblins. She hugs them all, and a huge party begins] 

• Jareth : Higgle...

  Hoggle : Hoggle!

  Jareth : Yes, If I thought that for one second that you would betray me, I would be forced to suspend you, head first, in the Bog of Eternal Stench.

  Hoggle : [falls to his knees]  Oh no! Your Majesty, not the eternal stench!

  Jareth : Oh, yes!

• Hoggle : What did you have to go and do a thing like that for?

  Sarah : Do what? You mean rescue you?

  Hoggle : No! You kissed me!

• Sarah : Ow! It bit me!

  Hoggle : What'd you expect fairies to do?

  Sarah : I thought they did nice things, like... like granting wishes.

  Hoggle : Shows what *you* know, don't it?

• Hoggle : Them's my rightful property. It's not fair.

  Sarah : No, it isn't. But that's the way it is.

• Didymus : [finally entering the castle]  Well, come on then!

  Sarah : No! I have to face him alone.

  Didymus : But why?

  Sarah : Because that's the way it's done!

  Didymus : Well, if that is the way it is done, then that is the way you must do it. But, should you need us...

  Hoggle : Yes, should you need us...

  Sarah : I'll call.

• Hoggle : You have to understand my position. I'm a coward. And Jareth scares me.

  Sarah : What kind of a position is that?

  Hoggle : No position! That's my point.

• Hoggle : And you wouldn't be so brave if you'd ever smelled the Bog of Eternal Stench. It's, it's...

  Sarah : Is that all it does, is smell?

  Hoggle : Oh, believe me, that's enough! But the worst thing is, if you so much as set a foot in the Bog of Stench, you'll smell bad for the rest of your life. It'll never wash off.

• Sarah : [seeing a Goblin aiming his cannon at her]  Whoa, Nellie, duck!

  [the Goblin fires] 

  Hoggle : [laughs]  Missed!

• Hoggle : Oh, no... Not the CLEANERS!

• Hoggle : [they need to get out of the dungeon]  Ah, this is what we need. A ladder. Follow me.

  Sarah : How can I trust you now that you know you were taking me back to the beginning of the labyrinth?

  Hoggle : [starts climbing, grunts]  I wasn't. I told him I was taking you back to the beginning just to throw him off the scent.

  Sarah : [looking up at him as he climbs]  Hoggle, how can I believe anything you say?

  Hoggle : Well,

  [grunts] 

  Hoggle : let me put it this way. What choice have you got?

  [grunts] 

  Sarah : You're right.

  [follows him up the ladder] 

• Hoggle : Ooh. Plastic!

• Hoggle : Now, don't try to embarrass me. I've got no pride.

• Hoggle : Hoggle ain't no one's friend. He looks after himself, like everyone. Hoggle is Hoggle's friend.
