Give me the child.
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered -
- I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City -
- to take back the child you have stolen.
For my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom is as great.
For my will is as strong as yours, my kingdom as great... Damn.
I can never remember that line.
You have no power over me.
Oh, Merlin.
Merlin, I do not believe it! It is seven o'clock!
Come on!
It is not fair!
Oh, really.
- I am sorry. - Do not stand there in the rain.
- Come on, Merlin. - Not the dog.
- But it is pouring. - Into the garage.
Merlin, go into the garage.
- Sarah, you are an hour late. - I said I was sorry.
- Your father and I rarely go out... - Every weekend!
I ask you to babysit only if it does not interfere with your plans.
You do not know what my plans are. You do not even ask me anymore.
Tell me if you have a date. You should have dates at your age.
Sarah, you are home. We were worried.
I cannot do anything right, can I?
She treats me like a wicked stepmother no matter what I say.
I will talk to her.
Through dangers untold -
- and hardships unnumbered -
- I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City -
- to take back the child that you have stolen.
Sarah? Can I talk to you?
There is nothing to talk about. Hurry, or you will be late.
We have fed Toby and put him to bed. We will be back around midnight.
You really did want to talk to me. You practically broke down the door.
Lancelot! Someone has been in my room again.
I hate that. I hate it!
I hate you!
Someone take me away from this awful place!
What do you want? Do you want a story?
Once upon a time there was a young girl -
- whose stepmother always made her stay home with the baby.
The baby was a spoiled child who wanted everything for himself, -
- and the young girl was practically a slave.
But what no one knew -
- was that the Goblin King had fallen in love with the girl -
- and given her certain powers.
So one night when the baby had been particularly cruel to her, -
- she called on the goblins for help.
Listen.
"Say your right words", the goblins said.
"And we will take the baby to the Goblin City and you will be free."
But the girl knew that the Goblin King would keep the baby for ever and ever -
- and turn it into a goblin. So the girl suffered in silence.
Until one night when she was tired and hurt by her stepmother's harsh words -
- and she could no longer stand it.
All right.
Knock it off, come on. Stop it!
I will say the words.
No, I must not. I must not say...
I wish... I wish...
- She is going to say it! - Say what?
You shut up!
Listen. She is going to say the words.
I can bear it no longer! Goblin King! Goblin King!
Wherever you may be, take this child far away from me!
That is not it.
Where did she learn that rubbish? It does not start with "I wish".
Toby, stop it!
I wish I did know what to say to make the goblins take you.
"I wish the goblins would take you away right now." Is it that hard?
I wish...
- Did she say it? - Shut up!
I wish the goblins would come and take you away.
Right now.
Toby, are you all right?
Why are you not crying?
You are him, right? You are the Goblin King.
- I want my brother back, please. - What is said is said.
- But I did not mean it. - Oh, you did not?
- Where is he? - You know that very well.
Please bring him back.
Sarah, go back to your room.
Play with your toys and costumes. Forget about the baby.
I cannot.
- I have brought you a gift. - What is it?
It is a crystal. Nothing more.
But if you turn it this way -
- and look into it, it will show you your dreams.
But this is no gift for a girl who takes care of a screaming baby.
Do you want it?
Then forget the baby.
I cannot. I do appreciate what you are trying to do for me -
- but I want my brother back. He must be so scared.
Do not defy me.
- You are no match for me, Sarah. - But I must have my brother back.
He is there. In my castle.
Do you still want to look for him?
Is that the castle beyond the Goblin City?
Turn back, Sarah. Turn back before it is too late.
I cannot. Do you not understand?
What a pity.
It does not look that far.
It is further than you think. And time is short.
You have 13 hours to solve the labyrinth -
- before your baby brother becomes one of us for ever.
Such a pity.
The labyrinth. It does not look that hard.
Come on, feet.
Excuse me?
Excuse me! Oh, it is you.
I have to get through this labyrinth. Can you help me?
Oh, how sweet.
Fifty-seven!
How could you?
Poor thing.
You monster.
- It bit me! - What did you expect fairies to do?
I thought they did nice things. Like granting wishes.
That shows what you know, does it not?
- Fifty-eight! - You are horrible.
No, I am not. I am Hoggle. Who are you?
- Sarah. - That is what I thought.
Fifty-nine!
- Do you know where the door is? - Maybe.
- Well, where is it? - Oh, you little...
Sixty!
- Where is it? - What?
- The door. - What door?
- It is hopeless asking you anything. - Not if you ask the right questions.
How do I get into the labyrinth?
Now that is more like it. You get in... there.
Are you really going in there?
Yes. I am afraid I have to.
Cosy, is it not?
Would you go left or right?
- They both look the same. - You will not get very far.
- Which way would you go? - Me? I would not go either way.
- If you will not help me, just leave. - You take too many things for granted.
Take this labyrinth. Even if you get to the centre you will never get out again.
- That is your opinion. - It is a lot better than yours.
Thanks for nothing, Hogwart.
It is Hoggle! And do not say I did not warn you.
What do they mean "labyrinth"? There are no turns.
This just goes on and on.
Maybe it does not.
Maybe I am just taking for granted that it does.
'Allo.
- Did you say hello? - I said 'allo, but close enough.
- You are a worm, right? - Yes, that is right.
- Do you know the way through here? - No, I am just a worm.
Come and meet the missus.
No thank you. I have to solve this labyrinth.
But there are no turns or openings. It just goes on and on.
You are not looking right. It is full of openings.
- Where are they? - There is one right across there.
- No, there is not. - Come have a cup of tea.
- But there is no opening. - Of course there is.
Try walking through it. You will see what I mean.
Go on then.
That is just wall. There is no way through.
Things are not what they seem here. Do not take anything for granted.
Hang on!
- Thanks for the help. - Do not go that way.
- What was that? - Do not go that way.
- Never go that way. - Oh. Thanks.
If she had gone that way she would have gone straight to that castle.
I am coming, Toby.
You remind me of the babe. The babe with the power.
- What power? - The power of voodoo.
- Who do? - You do.
- Do what? - Remind me of the babe.
Quiet! A goblin babe.
Well?
What goes on?
Is writing on the fragging walka walka!
Your mother is a fragging aardvark!
In 9 hours and 23 minutes you will be mine.
- Have you got it? - I have got it.
Oh, no.
Someone has been changing my marks.
What a horrible place. It is not fair!
That is right, it is not fair. But that is only half of it.
- This was just a dead end. - No, the dead end is behind you.
It keeps changing. What am I supposed to do?
The only way out is to try one of these doors.
One of them leads to the castle and the other one leads to...
...certain death!
- Which one is which? - We cannot tell you.
Why not?
- We do not know. - But they do.
Then I Will ask them.
You cannot ask us. You can only ask one of us.
It is in the rules. And one of us always tells the truth -
- and one of us always lies. That is a rule, too. He always lies.
- No, I tell the truth. - Oh, what a lie!
He is the liar!
Answer yes or no.
Would he tell me that this door leads to the castle?
Yes.
Then that door leads to the castle and this one to certain death.
How do you know?
- He could be telling the truth. - But then you would not be.
If you told me he said yes the answer must be no.
- I could be telling the truth. - Then he would be lying.
If you told me he said yes I know the answer is no.
Wait a minute. Is that right?
I do not know. I have never understood it.
No, it is right. I figured it out.
I could never do it before.
I think I am getting smarter. This is a piece of cake.
Help!
Stop it! Help!
What do you mean "help"? We are helping.
We are helping hands.
- You are hurting. - Would you like us to let go?
- Well, then. Which way? - Which way?
Up or down?
- Come on, come on. - We have not got all day.
It is a big decision for her.
- Which way do you want to go? - Yes, which way?
Since I am pointed that way, I guess I Will go down.
She chose down!
- Was that wrong? - Too late now.
She is in the oubliette. Shut up!
She should not have gotten this far. She should have given up.
- She will never give up. - Is that right?
The dwarf will lead her back to the beginning. She will give up -
- when she realises she has to start all over again.
Well, laugh.
- Who is there? - Me.
Oh, it is you.
I knew you would get into trouble. So I have come to give you a hand.
You are looking around now, right? Have you noticed there are no doors?
Only the hole.
This is an oubliette. The labyrinth is full of them.
- How do you know? - Do not sound so smart.
You do not even know what an oubliette is.
It is a place you put people to forget about them.
Now you need to get out of here. I know a short cut out of the labyrinth.
No, I am not giving up now. I have come too far.
- I am doing okay. - Of course you are.
But it gets a lot worse from here on in.
- Why are you so concerned about me? - Well, I am. That is all.
Nice young girl, terrible black oubliette.
- You like jewellery, right? - Why?
If you help me solve the labyrinth I will give you this.
- You like it, right? - So-so.
I will tell you what. Give me the bracelet.
- Then I Will show you the way out. - You would do that anyway.
Which would make it a very nice gesture on your part.
If you will not take me to the centre then take me as far as you can.
- What is that anyway? - Plastic.
I do not promise nothing, but...
I will take you as far as I can. Then you are on your own, right?
Plastic.
Here we go.
Damn broom closet.
I cannot be right all the time.
This is it. Come on then.
This way.
- Do not go on. - Go back while you can.
- This is not the way. - Take heed and go no further.
Beware. Beware.
Soon it will be too late.
Pay no attention. They are false alarms.
You get them a lot when you are on the right track.
- Oh, no you are not. - Shut up.
- Sorry. Just doing my job. - Well, do not do it to us.
- Beware for the... - Just forget it!
Please, I have not said it for a long time.
All right. But do not expect a big reaction.
No, of course not.
For the path you will take leads to certain destruction!
Thank you very much.
- What have we here? - Nothing.
Nothing?
Nothing, tra la la.
- Your Majesty, What a nice surprise. - Hello, Hedgewart.
- Hogwart. - Hoggle!
- Hoggle, are you helping this girl? - Helping? In what sense?
- You are leading her to the castle. - No, back to the beginning.
I told her I would help her solve the labyrinth. Just to trick her.
What is that plastic thing around your wrist?
Oh, this?
My goodness. Where did this come from?
Higgle, if I thought that you were betraying me, -
- I would be forced to suspend you head first in the Bog of Eternal Stench.
- Oh, no! Not the Eternal Stench! - Oh yes, Hoggle.
And you, Sarah. How are you enjoying my labyrinth?
It is a piece of cake.
Really? Then how about upping the stakes?
- It is not fair! - You say that so often.
I wonder what your basis for comparison is.
Is the labyrinth a piece of cake? Let us see you deal with this slice.
The cleaners! Run!
The cleaners, the Bog of Stench. You sure got his attention!
This is what we need. A ladder. Follow me.
How can I trust you when you were taking me back to the beginning?
I was not. I told him so to throw him off the scent.
How can I believe anything you say?
Let me put it this way: What choice have you got?
You are right.
You must understand my position. I am a coward and Jareth scares me.
- What kind of position is that? - No position. That is my point.
And you would not be so brave if you had smelt the Bog of Eternal Stench.
Is that all it does? Smell?
Believe me that is enough. But the worst thing is:
If you so much as put a foot in the Bog of Stench, -
- you will smell bad for the rest of your life. It will never wash off.
Here we are, then. You are on your own now.
- That is it. I quit. - Wait a minute.
I did not promise anything. I took you as far as I could go.
You little cheat!
Do not try to embarras me. I have no pride.
Oh, yeah?
Those are my jewels! Give them back!
Give those back to me!
There is the castle. Which way should we try?
That is my rightful property. It is not fair!
No, it is not. But that is the way it is.
Excuse me, can you help me?
A young girl!
- And who is this? - My friend.
What can I do for you?
I have to get to the castle. Do you know the way?
- You want to get to the castle. - How is that for brain power?
- Be quiet! - You are nuts.
So, young woman, the way forward is sometimes the way back.
Will you listen to this crap.
- Will you please be quiet? - All right.
Sorry.
Finished?
Yes.
Quite often it seems we are not getting anywhere when in fact...
- We are. - We are.
- I am not getting anywhere here. - Join the club.
I think that is your lot. Please leave a contribution in the box.
Do not dare! They are mine!
I guess I can spare this.
Gracias, senorita.
You did not have to give him that. He did not tell you anything.
Well, then. There go a couple of suckers.
It is so stimulating being your hat.
Why did you say that about my being your friend?
Because you are. You may not be much, but you are my only friend in here.
Do you hear something? No, it is all right.
Friend... I like that.
I have never been anyone's friend before.
- Goodbye! - Wait a minute!
- Are you my friend or not? - No! Hoggle is no one's friend.
He looks after himself like everyone. Hoggle is Hoggle's friend!
Hoggle, you coward!
I am not afraid. Things are not always what they seem in here.
Try this for size, you big yeti!
We have you now, fuzzball!
All together now.
If only I had something to throw.
Who turned out the lights? I cannot see!
We are under attack!
Retreat!
Stop that.
Is that any way to treat someone who is trying to help you?
Do you not want me to help you down?
Ludo down.
Ludo? Is that your name?
You seem like such a nice beast.
I certainly hope you are what you seem to be.
Just hang on. I Will get you down.
Just a second.
Oh, I am sorry.
Ludo, are you hurt?
Friend?
That is right, Ludo. I am Sarah.
Let me help you. Are you okay?
Sarah friend.
Now wait. Just a second. I want to ask you something.
I have to get to the castle. Do you know the way?
No.
You do not know? Does anyone know how to get through?
Get through the labyrinth?
One thing is for sure: She will never get through it.
Where did they come from?
What do you think, Ludo? Which of these two ugly characters should we choose?
It is very rude to stare.
Sorry. I was just wondering which door to choose.
Do not talk with your mouth full.
- Wait. I cannot understand you. - What were you saying?
- It is so good to get that thing out. - What did you say?
It is no good talking to him. He is deaf as a post.
Mumble, mumble. You are great conversation.
- All you do is moan! - No good. I cannot hear you.
- Where do these doors lead? - Search me. We are just knockers.
- How do I get through? - Knock and the door will open.
- I do not want that back in my mouth. - Come on. I want to knock.
He does not want his ring back? I cannot say I blame him.
- Sorry. - It is all right. I am used to it.
Come on, Ludo.
You are welcome.
He is a lively little chap. I think I Will call him Jareth.
He has my eyes.
Ludo scared.
Give me your hand. Come on.
Imagine a big thing like you being scared.
See, Ludo. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Ludo, where are you?
- Hoggle, help! - I am coming, Sarah.
Oh, there you are. And where are you going?
The little lady gave me the slip but I can hear her now.
So I was about to lead her back to the beginning like you told me.
I see. For one moment I thought you were running to help her.
But no, not after my warnings. That would be stupid.
You bet it would! Me help her after your warnings?
- Oh, dear. Poor Hoghead. - Hoggle.
I have just noticed your lovely jewels are missing.
So they are. My lovely jewels. Missing. I must find them.
But first I will take the lady back to the beginning like we planned.
Wait! I have a much better plan.
Give her this.
- What is it? - It is a present.
- Is it going to hurt the lady? - Now why the concern?
- I will do nothing to harm her. - Come, come, Hogbrain.
I am surprised at you losing your head over a girl.
Do you think she could ever like a repulsive little scab like you?
- She said we were... - Bosom companions? Friends?
No matter.
Give her that or I will tip you into the Bog before you can blink.
Yes. Right.
And Hoggle...
If she ever kisses you I will turn you into a prince.
- You will? - Prince of the Land of Stench!
What is going on?
What do you want?
We just want to have a good time!
