Leprechaun

edit
  • [Talking to himself while sitting over his pot of gold] Ah! Try as they will, and try as they might, who steals me gold won't live through the night.
  • [The Leprechaun starts singing while bouncing a pogo stick onto the coin seller's chest] This old Lep, he played one / He played pogo on his lung
  • [Narrating from down in the flaming well] I'll not rest till I have me gold. Curse this well that me soul shall dwell, till I find me magic that breaks me spell.
  • [Tory looks for a four leaf clover as the Leprechaun sneaks up to grab her hand] Little girls shouldn't look for four leaf clovers.
  • [Ozzie escapes from the Leprechaun in the basement] You only got away because me powers are weak! I need me gold!
  • [Rips out the dead police officer's eye and puts it into his own head] An eye for an eye, me dear.
  • ['The Leprechaun pulls his hand off the kitchen burner that's on, chuckling] We're cooking now, kids.
  • [Singing, to Alex] I got you in a bear trap / That'll make you shut your yap / I got you in a bear trap / You look like a stupid sap. [The Leprechaun holds a small ax] Oh, oh, it looks like you're hurt. Let's play surgeon.
  • [Comes out of the chimney] Ho, ho, ho. I'm right here, and I ain't no Santa Claus. [Get shot by Nathan]
  • Have you seen a crock of gold lying around? [Ozzie shakes his head] Tell me or I'll bite your ear off, and I'll make a boot out of it! [Touches Ozzie's face who nervously laughs and run away]
  • [In a little girl's voice trapped from a bag] I can't breathe. Please open the suitcase. I'm going to suffocate.

Daniel O'Grady

  • [Screams out while lighting a match] Burn in hell, you little green bastard!

Ozzie

  • [Phones the police for help] Help. Help. It's happening. The attack is on. O'Grady farm. Uh, send help. The leprechaun is attacking. Army, navy, guns, marines. And we're gonna need some medicine.
  • [Finding a derelict pick up truck out in the field, to Alex ] Don't cut yourself on any of this old rusty metal. If you do, it will make your jaw lock shut.

Alex

Tory

edit
  • [Correcting Nathan about the Leprechaun not being a bear who came into the house] Nathan, that was no fuckin' bear.
  • [To her father, upon arrival to cabin] I am going to be miserable here. There's no swimming pool, there's no shopping malls, there's no cable. Bet you don't even have a TV. This sure ain't Beverly Hills.

Dialogue

edit
Deputy Tripet: [Pulls over the Leprechaun riding in a child's motorized car] Say, aren't we a little young to be out this late?
Leprechaun: No. I'm 600 years old.
Ozzie: [Takes a bite on a gold coin to confirm authenticity] Oh, my God. I swallowed that gold coin!
Alex: Nice going, Jaws.
Ozzie: Hey, hey, hey. Can you die from swallowing gold?
Alex: Yeah, after I kill you!
Leprechaun: [Breaks out of the crate and talks to Ozzie] Hey, tubby... you got a light for an old Leprechaun's pipe? [Takes off a giant bug from his coat jacket and eats it] I'm starved! Haven't eaten in 10 years!
Ozzie: What - What are you?
Leprechaun: What do I look like, me lad? See the hat? The buckles on me shoes? Why, I'm a Leprechaun!
Tory: [Answers a phone] Hello? Hello? Help us please! Come help us! We're trapped inside of here.
Leprechaun: Where's the rest of me gold? [Tory slams the phone down and throws it off the wall, as it starts to ring again off the hook, and then walks slowly to the phone and grabs it off the floor, holding it up to her ear] Having problems? Do you need a hand? [The Leprechaun squeezes his little hand through the phone]
Leprechaun: [Talking to Tory from outside the well] Now... [Tory screams as the Leprechaun appears out of nowhere beside her] Is that me gold?
Tory: What the hell are you?
Leprechaun: I'm a leprechaun, me dear.
Leprechaun: [Tory hands over the gold to the Leprechaun] Ahh... me powers are returning. [Laughs and rattles the bag] It sounds like me gold. [Laughs, looking in the bag] It looks like me gold. [Laughs, smelling in the bag] It smells like me gold. [Leprechaun licks on a gold coin] Mmm... it tastes like me gold.
Tory: [The Leprechaun walks up to Tory and pulls her arm to lean down, he kisses her on her cheek laughing, as Tory runs off] Oh, God! Oh, God!
Leprechaun: [The Leprechaun sits on the ground pouring out the gold] Me golden delicious gold.
Ozzie: Alex, do you think you could kill a Leprechaun?
Alex: Ozzie, you can kill anything. You just got to know how to do it. Now, me, give me a .357 magnum, press it to the little green critter's temple, and blam! Brains and guts and oozing cruddy stuff dripping all down its head. The guy is gone with a capital dead.
Ozzie: [Attempting to save Alex] No! It's me, it's me you want, you green little son of a bitch. I've got the last gold coin. I swallowed it. It's in my stomach.
Leprechaun: Then it's your belly I want.
Ozzie: I did a smart thing. I did a smart thing, didn't I?
Alex: You're really smart, Ozzie. You just hang in there, okay?
Ozzie: [Ozzie points to Alex and his chest] Hey, Alex... What's that? [Ozzie gets Alex to look down so he can touch his face] Gotcha. First time I ever got you.
Alex: You sure did, Ozzie.
Daniel O'Grady: [Finds his wife's body with the Leprechaun standing over] What did you do? Y-Y-You killed my wife!
Mrs. O'Grady: [In Mrs. O'Gradys voice] Hello, Dan, I'm okay. I just got a little kink in me neck.
Daniel O'Grady: I should've killed you when I caught you in Ireland.
Mrs. O'Grady: [In Mrs. O'Grady's voice] Give him the gold, Dan. He's a nice little Leprechaun.
Daniel O'Grady: I'll give you more than gold! [Fires his pistol into the Leprechaun]
Daniel O'Grady: [Lays the four-leaf clover over the Leprechaun's crate] The power of this clover will keep you in there forever.
Leprechaun: [The Leprechaun from inside the crate] Get that damn clover off this crate. I told you, you couldn't kill me. Where's me gold, Danny, me boy? [Mr. O'Grady begins to hammer the crate shut] Oh, Danny, don't strain yourself. [Mr. O'Grady then begins to pour gasoline over the crate] No, not gasoline. You can't burn me, I won't let ya. [The Leprechaun laughs] Don't strain yourself. You're not as young as you used to be. You might have a stroke. I curse ye for all eternity. I've traded me soul for me gold. You'll trade your life. [The Leprechaun laughs]
Tory: Wait. [Arriving at the cabin] This is a joke, right? This is our poor neighbors' house, and then you're gonna take us to our house.
J.D. Reding: Never judge a book by it's cover, honey.
Tory: Dad, this book doesn't even have a cover.
Tory: What's so funny?
Nathan Murphy: Well, I just think it's funny the way girls are always afraid of spiders and stuff.
Tory: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, wait a minute. Did I misplace my 1950's calendar, here? 'Girls'? Listen, Bud, okay? This is the 90's. Women are treated equal.
Nathan Murphy: Well, first off, my name isn't Bud, it's Nathan. And I don't know many guys that are afraid of houses.
Tory: Oh, is that so?
Nathan Murphy: Yeah.
Tory: Well, you know what? Neither am I. [Nathan laughs]
Nathan Murphy: The O'Grady's collected a lot of junk.
Tory: The O'Grady's?
Nathan Murphy: Yeah, Dan O'Grady. He used to own this place. He was really a... a weird, and strange guy, you know?
Tory: Oh. You mean weird and strange like guys who drive dented pickup trucks and paint houses for a living?
Tory: [Observing the mess of shoes in the kitchen] This is crazy, what the hell's going on here?
Nathan Murphy: Well, it could've been a bear. They sometimes come down the hills looking for food.
Tory: Great. My dad had to bring food into this place.
Ozzie: You know what? That Leprechaun, he tried to shine my shoes. He said he was a shoemaker.
Tory: Look. You guys can sit around here and theorize, Bear or no bear, but I am getting out of here. A matter of fact, I'm walking out that door, and I'm not coming back. [Tory walks out, as Ozzie and Nathan look at each other, when Tory walks back in the house within five seconds] A little too dark out there.
Ozzie: My - My ear! He got my ear!
Alex: [Alex slaps Ozzie across the face] Hey, chill!
Ozzie: My ear sure hurts, Tory. I bet that Leprechaun made a boot out of it.
Tory: You're going to be okay, Ozzie. He didn't get your ear. He just bit it.
Tory: [Looking for a four-leaf clover] Forget it. We're not going to find it.
Ozzie: You can, too. You just got to believe.
Tory: Damn it, Ozzie. I'm so sick of your magic and your stupid fantasies. Okay, it's too late for that now. We don't have time to sit here in a damn clover patch and look for clovers. That thing is going to wake up.
Ozzie: You've lost your faith. But you got to believe. Got to.
Tory: [Tory finds one] All right, here, look, here, look! I believe! I believe!
Ozzie: Look. You... you found one. I told you. I told you!
Ozzie: [Upon returning back to the cabin and seeing a mess of food and shoes scattered all over] Uh-oh. I think something got in here.
Alex: No shit, Sherlock.
Ozzie: You'd better watch your mouth. Go wash it out with soap right now, boy.
Alex: Sure. Sure. And right after that, Ozzie, I'll be sure to ground myself for two weeks. [Hits Ozzie in the chest with his hat]
Alex: Hey, Ozzie. Do you know what this means?
Ozzie: We're rich, and I can buy comics every week.
Alex: Yeah, but you know what else?
Ozzie: What else?
Alex: We can get you an operation.
Ozzie: For what?
Alex: To make you smart. See we can go to the hospital and have them operate and fix your brain.
Ozzie: But - But I - I'm smart.
Alex: Yeah. Well, sort of. What I mean is we can make you real smart. That way, people won't make fun of you.
Ozzie: They make fun of me?
Alex: Not in front of you. Only behind your back.
Daniel O'Grady: [Breaks a vase to reveal gold] Gold, Leah! Gold.
Mrs. O'Grady: What in the lord's name...
Daniel O'Grady: A pot of gold! A wee person, a leprechaun. I caught him and made him show me where his gold is. It's the rule, you know?
Tory: [Driving to the cabin] Dad, I'm still depressed. I mean, come on - Here I am in New Mexico with my hick father for the whole summer.
J.D. Reding: Hey!
Tory: On offense, okay?
J.D. Reding: First of all, it's not New Mexico. It's North Dakota.
Tory: Like it matters. All I care about is it's not L.A.
Tory: Huh. Oh, great. Just when I thought this house couldn't get any worse... an old basement. Well... great place to store all the rocks and pine cones I'm going to find.
J.D. Reding: Okay, it's a little dusty. I admit that. We'll just clean it up a little bit, splash some paint around.
Tory: Oh, God. You'd need to splash some bulldozers around to fix this place up.
J.D. Reding: You're making too big a deal out of this, honey. This is a great house, I got a great buy on it.
Tory: Yeah, from who? Dracula? How about I get a hotel somewhere in town and you can come visit... like once a week? Hey, I'll pay for it.
J.D. Reding: Tori, honey... you really think money's all you need to get by in this life, huh?
Tory: [Sarcastically] Okay, I'll go with that theory.
Tory: [Bumps into Nathan carrying a can of paint] Who are you?
Nathan Murphy: Uh, I was a guy carrying some paint thinner.
Tory: [Pulls out some cash from her hand bag] Oh, okay. Here. Does that cover it?
Nathan Murphy: Wait. Hold on a second. You knock over my paint thinner and you offer me $20
Tory: [Pulls out some more cash] Okay. Okay. How about that? Will that do it?
Nathan Murphy: Uh, no. Maybe if you said you were sorry, you know, it might.
Tory: [Stares at Nathan before hurrying to leave] Okay here. Keep the change.
Ozzie: Anyways, listen-listen. It came right down out of the sky. And there it was... This flying saucer. It had these weird lights, you know? It was making all of these weird noises, kind of like, boo-boo boo-boo.
Alex: Ozzie, I thought you weren't going to tell any more stories.
Ozzie: This really happened, Alex. It did! It's like magic, you know? Like - Like, um... Well, when you see a star in the night sky - The first star - You can make a wish. And it'll come true.
Alex: Stop with the magic stuff.
J.D. Reding: So, you boys need any help out here?
Alex: Um. I'm afraid that our liability insurance forbids anyone but us handling the tools and equipment. But thanks for the offer. [The father smiles as the two walk off] Boy, I could go for a beer right now.
Ozzie: [Trying to take paint out of his mouth] Oh, no!
Alex: [Laughs to himself] As fashion statements go, blue is not your best color.
Ozzie: Alex, I asked you to hold that ladder steady. Now look what happened!
Nathan Murphy: I'm not even going to ask what happened, really.
Tory: There's a bathroom off the kitchen in there. At least, it looked a little like a bathroom.
Ozzie: [Looks back at Alex] I don't like blue.
[Ozzie comes out of the bathroom and hears the Leprechaun singing in a little boy's voice from the basement]
The Leprechaun: [Singing low] Twinkle, Twinkle/little star/how I wonder...
Ozzie: Hello?
The Leprechaun: [Continues to sing] What you are/up above the world so high...
Ozzie: [Looks to the basement door] Who's in there?
The Leprechaun: [Continues to sing] Like a diamond in the sky/Twinkle, Twinkle, little star/How I wonder what you are
[Ozzie enters the basement of the house and finds the Leprechaun's crate, speaking in a little boy's voice]
Ozzie: Hello? Wow. What neat junk.
The Leprechaun: [The little boy's voice talks from the crate] Please let me out. Please? Why won't you let me out of this crate?
Ozzie: How did you get in there?
The Leprechaun: [Voice continues] Please... let me out. Please, I don't like it in here. Please.
Ozzie: Hello? Hello?
The Leprechaun: [The Leprechaun punches his way out of the crate after Ozzie wipes off the four-leaf clover] I'm back!
[Ozzie tells the others that he found a Leprechaun in the basement]
Ozzie: Ah! There's a Leprechaun in the basement! Oh, there's a Leprechaun in the basement!
Nathan Murphy: Hold on. What's going on?
Ozzie: He come out of a box. He had these long, real skinny fingers. He wasn't nice like lucky charms or anything. And then he ate a bug!
Alex: A Leprechaun? Let's inject a little reality in here, please.
Ozzie: I saw him. I really did see him. He even tried to polish my shoes.
Alex: Then where's your pot of gold?
Ozzie: That's what he said he wants. He said he wanted his pot of gold!
[Nathan volunteers to go in the basement to look for the Leprechaun Ozzie found]
Nathan Murphy: [Nathan picks up a stick] Hey... okay? Just in case?
Tory: I better go with you. Just in case.
Ozzie: Uh, N-Nathan... Nathan... I don't think that stick's gonna be big enough. W-wait. Wait for me, I'm coming. Just in case.
Nathan Murphy: [Ozzie describes the Leprechaun to Nathan and the group] Well, I don't see anything, Ozzie.
Ozzie: This guy... was real. I mean, he had buckles on his shoes and he had them real horrible teeth, and they were all rotten and everything, and, uh, oh... I-I know he never does brush them. [Tory stares to Nathan as the group hears a crash of items in the corner of the basement] Th-that's him. He's going to kill every one of us, and I'm first.
