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]
