The script of Labyrinth (1986, ft: David Bowie)

.

[Sarah, standing in an open space by the lake, with her dog, Merlin]

SARAH: (Talking to an owl, but mostly herself) 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 that you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great....(hears thunder)...(thinking)....damn, (gets out her book) i can never remember that line.....you have no power over me. (Hears more thunder)

(Merlin barks)

SARAH: Oh Merlin. (hears the clock strike) Oh no merlin, i don't believe it, its 7:00, come on. (starts to run home)

[Sarah and Merlin reach the doorstep]

SARAH: Oh, its not fair

STEPMOTHER: Oh really!

SARAH: Oh, i'm sorry

STEPMOTHER: Well don't stand there in the rain come on.

SARAH: Alright, come on merlin.

STEPMOTHER: Not the dog!

SARAH: But its pouring!

STEPMOTHER: (to Merlin) Go on, into the garage

SARAH: aww, go on merlin, go into the garage, go!

[ inside the house ]

STEPMOTHER: Sarah! you're an hour late

SARAH: i said i'm sorry

STEPMOTHER: please, let me finish, your father and i go out very rarely....

SARAH: you go out every single weekend

STEPMOTHER: .....and i ask you to baby-sit only if it wont interfer with your plans

SARAH: well how do you know, you don't know what my plans are, you don't even ask me anymore

STEPMOTHER: well i'd assume you'd tell me if you had a date, i'd like it if you had a date, you should have dates at your age

(father comes in with toby)

FATHER: oh Sarah, your home, we were worried about you

SARAH: (storming upstairs) i can't do anything right, can i?!!

STEPMOTHER: she treats me like a wicked stepmother in a fairy story no matter what i say

FATHER: i'll talk to her

SARAH: (in her room) (to herself) 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.

(father knocks on the door)

FATHER: sarah, can i talk to you?

SARAH: there's nothing to talk about....You better hurry you're gonna be late

FATHER: listen, we fed Toby and put him to bed, we do have to leave now, but we'll be back around midnight.

SARAH: you really wanted to talk to me didn't you? practically broke down the door

SARAH: (notices her bear is missing) Lancealot!! someone has been in my room again, i hate that, i hate it!

(sarah goes into room where toby is, and notices the bear on the floor)

SARAH: i hate you, i hate you!! someone save me, someone take me away from this awful place!

(the thunder is getting louder)

SARAH: (looks at Toby crying) What do want, do you want story? huh? ok

SARAH: once upon a time there was a beautiful young girl whose stepmother always made her stay home with the baby. and the baby was a spoiled child and he wanted everything for himself. and the young girl was practically a slave.
