Psammead : I am a Sand Fairy!
Jane : A Sand Fairy? I thought fairies had little ballet dresses and wings and wands.
Psammead : What on earth have you been reading?
Jane : I'll call you Sandy.
Psammead : Why?
Jane : Because we found you in the sand.
Psammead : You're so funny. Have your parents tried boiling you?
-
Cyril : Robert, wait, where are you going?
Robert : Here's a clue. It rhymes with hand hairy.
Cyril : No way, we're not going back. You saw all the trouble that wish got us into.
Robert : Oh look, this must be the pole that's been sticking up Cyril's ...
Cyril : Back off! You can insult me all you like, but ...
Robert : Thanks, but I'll save that for later. I'm going, whether you're coming or not.
Jane : Hand hairy? Sand fairy!
-
Psammead : Were the vases smashed to smithereens?
Jane : Yes.
Psammead : Add the floor flooded and dictionaries drenched?
Cyril : They were.
Psammead : And the house burned to the ground?
Robert : No.
Psammead : House didn't burn to the ground? I'd say you got off pretty lightly then, all things considered.
Robert : Not so fast, Sand Fairy!
Cyril : You made them ruin the house on purpose, didn't you?
Psammead : Look, it's not me, it's the rules. You make a wish, it goes horribly wrong, and then you learn something valuable.
Robert : That's terrible. I don't need to learn anything!
Psammead : Of course, everything is back to normal by sunset.

Peasemarsh : There's just the small matter of a deposit in case of misadventure.
Jane : Ours are always misadventures.
Peasemarsh : I dare say.

Anthea : Oh my gosh, I've got wings!
Jane : So soft, so white...
Cyril : The little - He must've made a wish! He's out of control. I don't know how I'm gonna cut it. What am I gonna tell Mum? Look at you!
Robert : Cyril!
Cyril : You've done it again. What were you thinking?
Robert : I'm going to France to see Dad!
Cyril : France?
Robert : His letter said he wished he could fly to see us. He can't, but we can fly to him. Come on!
Cyril : Robert, wait!
-
Jane : Mummy, I can't believe you're home!
Robert : Mum, we didn't know you were coming!
Jane : Did you get my letter?
Mother : Yes, I did, precious.
Cyril : Something's wrong.
Mother : It's your father.
Robert : Is he here?
Mother : No, Robert. His plane went down behind enemy lines several days ago. He's missing.
Robert : No!
-
Psammead : You don't get many cards these days. You know how it is after your 6,523rd birthday.
Anthea : You don't look that old.
Psammead : I drink a lot of moisturizer.
Jane : And you can't have a birthday without a present. Here.
Psammead : Brown paper, my favorite!
Jane : No, you have to unwrap it.
Psammead : Oh, yes, I knew that.
-
Martha : In the morning, I'll give you a tour of the grounds. You're allowed everywhere except the greenhouse. That's strictly off limits.
Jane : Why would a greenhouse be off limits?
Anthea : Maybe the plants are deadly, like in "The Black Rose Of Devil's Island".
Jane : Maybe.
Martha : The greenhouse is off limits because I said it is. So just stay out of it, and everything will be fine. Here we go.

Martha : What a to-do today turned out to be.
Jane : Oh... It wasn't us. Honestly, it was the sand fairy...
Cyril : Jane!
Martha : Sand fairy, huh?
Jane : Err... No!
Cyril : No. She didn't say "sand fairy", she said... She said...
Anthea : Safari.
Cyril : Safari. Yes.
Anthea : We were pretending to be on safari, and Cyril is an elephant.
Martha : A safari, of course. Well, now, if we all do as I do... we can undo all this to-do before tomorrow. Come along, you lot.
