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!

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.

Robert : It's an ugly little monster.
Psammead : "It"? "It"? "It"? Do you mean to tell me that you do not know what a Psammead is?
Robert : You're a what?
Psammead : I am a Psammead crustacea decapodlium wishasaurus. Got it?
Robert : No.

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.
