Eggs
- Eggs: Don't do it. You won't change who you are. Cheese, Hats, Boxes. They don't make you. "You" make you.
- Eggs: It won't change who you are. Cheese, hats, boxes-they don't make you who you are. You make you.
- Eggs: I told you, we don't eat people.
- Winnie: [challenging] Why do you keep saying "we"? You're not one of them. You're a BOY.
- Eggs: [denying it] No I'm not, I'm a Boxtroll.
- Winnie: Oh, really? Let's see you fit in your box.
- Eggs: [making excuses] I can't right now. I'm long-boned.
- Winnie: And you don't talk like them.
- Eggs: I have a speech impediment.
- Winnie: Your ears aren't pointed.
- Eggs: I slept on them funny.
- Winnie: [when Eggs keeps insisting he's a Boxtroll] Oh, for goodness sake, give me your hand. I don't bite.
- Winnie: [compares Eggs' hand to that of a Boxtroll's hand, who only has 3 fingers, and the middle finger is huge] See? You're not like them.
- Winnie: [places her hand against his hand, and their fingers line up] You're one of us. You're a boy, Eggs.
- Archibald Snatcher: You really think Portly-Rind and his mob will help a nobody like you? In this town, you want help, you gotta help yourself. That's what a man does.
- Eggs: You're a liar, when I tell Winnie's father the truth, he'll...
- [Snatcher knocks Eggs to the wall with a baseball bat]
- Archibald Snatcher: HE'LL THANK ME. Because... all your little Boxtroll friends... are going to die. TONIGHT!
- Eggs: WHAT?
- Archibald Snatcher: THEY'LL MAKE ME THE MOST RESPECTED MAN IN THIS TOWN! They'll have no choice but to give me a white hat, they'll parade me. They'll take me up on their shoulders. And I'm NOT gonna let that be ruined by some little Boxtroll sewer rat!
- Eggs: Please help us.
- Winnie: [exhales resignedly] If I agree to help, you have to do exactly as I say.
- Eggs: I promise.
- Winnie: All right, first things first. Off with the box.
- Winnie: [Eggs recoils in shock; quick cut to all the Boxtrolls screaming at Eggs not wearing his box] Stop that!
- Winnie: [to all the Boxtrolls] Alright, you petty thieves, bring me your loot.
- Winnie: You were with the Boxtrolls last night?
- Eggs: Yes.
- Winnie: [gets real excited] Oh. I knew it. I knew it! I knew it! Father didn't believe me, but I knew it! How did you escape?
- Eggs: We went underground.
- Winnie: Did they drag you down to their hideous cave?
- Eggs: [shocked by her question] Huh?
- Winnie: [morbidly excited] Were there mountains of baby bones? And rivers of blood?
- Eggs: [aghast by her questions] What?
- Winnie: Did they eat your family, and did they let you watch?
- Eggs: What?
- Winnie: I mean, MAKE you watch? Tell me everything!
