Colin Craven
- Colin: Are you making this magic?
- Mary: No, you are.
- Colin: Just like in the story.
- [indicates his chest]
- Colin: It's like the whole universe is in here.
- Mary: I'm certain it is.
- Colin: I wish I could marry you.
- Mary: What? But we're cousins!
- Colin: I don't care. I want us always to be together.
- Mary: We *are* together.
- Colin: Hair is dead.
- Mary: If hair is dead, why does it keep growing all the time, even after you're dead? Well, maybe not your hair. You'll probably be bald.
- Colin: Don't be daft. I'll die before I'm ever old enough to go bald.
- Mary: I hate the way you talk about dying.
- Colin: Everyone thinks I'll die.
- Mary: If everyone thought that about me, I wouldn't do it.
- Colin: [after Mary pulls a pair of curtain open to reveal a picture of Colin's mother, her aunt] That's my mother. My father never wants to see me. Because--I don't look *anything* like her. But *you*, you look like her.
- Mary: Why do you keep a curtain over her?
- Colin: She smiles too much.
- Mary: Smiles too much? How can anybody smile too much?
- Colin: Sometimes I hate her. She died when I was born.
- Mary: But I thought she died in her garden.
- Colin: Her garden? What garden?
- Mary: Oh, just a garden. There are so many of them here.
- Mary: [shouting for Colin to stop throwing a tantrum over possible spores in the air] Stop it you, stop! I hate you! Everybody hates you! You're so selfish. You the most selfish boy there ever was!
- Colin: I'm not as selfish as you are! Just because I'm always ill!
- Mary: Nobody ill could scream like that!
- Colin: I'm going to die!
- Mary: What would you know about dying?
- Colin: My mother died!
- Mary: Both my parents died!
- Colin: I'll get a lump on a back; I'll get a lump like my father!
- Colin: I'm master of this house while my father is away.
- Mary: Your father? He's my uncle. Nobody told me he had a son.
- Colin: Come here. What's your name?
- Mary: Mary Lennox.
- Colin: I'm Colin Craven.
- Mary: Our mothers were sisters. Twins.
- Colin: Twins? Nobody told me she had a twin. Fluff the pillows for me, Cousin Mary.
- Mary: What?
- Colin: The covers on this bed are all twisted.
- Mary: Well, I don't know what to do about it. I'll call Mrs. Medlock.
- Colin: No! She'll be mad if she finds you in here.
- Ben Weatherstaff: But aren't your legs all crooked?
- Colin: Who says my legs are crooked?
- Mary: Nobody says that.
- Mrs. Medlock: [to Colin] Your father returns today.
- Colin: He won't want to see me.
- Mrs. Medlock: Perhaps he will.
