Coraline Jones: How can you walk away from something and then come towards it? Cat: Walk around the world. Coraline Jones: Small world.
Cat: You realize you're walking right into her trap. Coraline Jones: I have to go back. They are my parents. Cat: Challenge her, then. She may not play fair, but she won't refuse. She's got a *thing* for games.
Coraline Jones: [to Coraline doll] You think they're trying to poison me? [Makes Coraline doll nod]
Coraline Jones: Oh my twitchy, witchy girl. I think you are so nice. I give you bowls of porridge. I give you bowls of ice... cream. I give you lots of kisses. I give you lots of hugs. But I never give you sandwiches with grease and worms and mung......
Ghost Boy: Don't remember our names, but I 'member my true mommy.
Other Father: [singing] Makin' up a song about Coraline/ She's a peach, she's a doll, she's a pal of mine/ She's as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who's ever laid their eyes on Coraline/ When she comes around exploring/ Mom and I will never...
Coraline Jones: I can see you don't have button eyes, but... if you're the same cat, how can you talk? Cat: I just can.
Wybie Lovat: I'm Wybie. Wybie Lovat. Coraline Jones: Wybie? Wybie Lovat: Short for Wyborn. Not my idea, of course. What'd you get saddled with? Coraline Jones: I wasn't 'saddled' with anything. It's Coraline. Wybie Lovat: Caroline what? Coraline Jone...
Coraline Jones: [on the "Other" Mother] Why does she want me? Cat: She wants something to love, I think. Something that isn't her. Or, maybe she'd just love something to eat. Coraline Jones: Eat? That's ridiculous, mothers don't eat... daughters. Cat...
Coraline Jones: I think I heard someone calling you... Wyborn. Wybie Lovat: What? I didn't hear anything. Coraline Jones: Oh, I definitely heard someone... Why-were-you-born.
Miss Forcible: [reading tea leaves] Well, not to worry, child: It's good news. There's a tall, handsome beast in your future. Coraline Jones: A what? Miss Spink: Miriam, really, you're holding it wrong. See? Danger! Coraline Jones: What do you see? M...
Ghost Boy: T'ain't all bad, miss. Thou art alive. Thou art still liviing.
Mr. Bobinsky: Caroline, wait! The mice asked me to give you message. Coraline Jones: The jumping mice? Mr. Bobinsky: They are saying, "Do not go through little door." Do you know such a thing? Coraline Jones: The one behind the wallpaper? But it's al...
Other Mother: [screaming] Don't leave me! Don't leave me! I'll die without you!
Sweet Ghost Girl: Be clever, Miss. Even if you win, she'll never let you go!
Coraline Jones: [shouting to Wybie] Crazy? You're the jerk wad that gave me the doll!
Tall Ghost Girl: Hush, and shush, for the beldam might be listening.
Coraline Jones: I want to be with my real Mom and Dad. I want you to let me go! Other Mother: Is that any way to talk to your Mother? Coraline Jones: You aren't my Mother. Other Mother: Apologize at once, Coraline. Coraline Jones: No!
