Information: Movie Quotes

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the movie.

Unicorn: "What do men know? Because they have seen no unicorns for a while does not mean that we have all vanished! We do not vanish! There has never been a time without unicorns."

Butterfly: "No, no, listen. Don't listen to me, listen. You can find the others if you are brave."

Unicorn: "I had forgotten that men cannot see unicorns. If men no longer know what they are looking at, there may well be other unicorns in the world yet, unknown and glad of it."

Molly Grue: "Leaving us so early, magician?"

Molly Grue: "You are an idiot! Do you hear me?! You lost her! You trapped her in a human body! She'll go mad!"

Amalthea: "And I'm afraid of this human body - more than I was of the Red Bull - afraid!"

Prince Lir: "Please, lady, let me help you. What can I do for you? Trust me!"

Molly Grue: "You are cruel to him. You might give him a gentle word, at the very least. He only wishes you to think of him."

Amalthea: "But I don't know where to find him. And I'm lonely."

Amalthea: "I hope for no help from him. He's no magician now, but the king's poor clown."

Cat: "Soon there'll be a human woman in that body and no unicorn at all ever again. It may be that she'll marry the good prince, who loves her."

Cat: "Because I be what I be. I would tell you what you want to know if I could, mum, but I be a cat, and no cat anywhere ever gave anyone a straight answer, har har."

Schmendrick: "I can't do this very much longer. He had me juggling teacups for him all night long. Teacups! With tea in them!"

Amalthea: "Well, I'm always dreaming, even when I'm awake. It is never finished. I-I will not trouble you, my lord prince."
Lir: "Trouble me! Please, trouble me! I would court you with more grace if I knew how. I wish you wanted something."
Amalthea: "Drown out my dreams. Keep me from remembering whatever wants me to remember it."

King Haggard: "Love is slowing you down, my lady."

Amalthea: "My lord, in all your castle, in all your realm, there is nothing of yours that I desire. Good day, your majesty."

Amalthea: "He is mad! Mad!"
Schmendrick: "Shhh, don't, don't, don't. It's all right. We'll find them. Come on, come to me. Oh, please, please don't cry. If you've become human enough to cry then no magic in the world can change you back. Just come with me. Shh, don't cry. I promise you we'll find them."

Lir: "What was there to know? I saw where she had gone and I followed."

Lir: "Unicorn, mermaid, sorceress, no name you would give her would surprise or frighten me. I love whom I love."
Schmendrick: "Well, that's a very nice sentiment. But when I change her back into her true self-"
Schmendrick: "I love whom I love.
Amalthea: "I heard what you said. I will go no further."

Molly: "Then what is magic for? What is the use of wizardry, if it cannot even save a unicorn?"
Schmendrick: "That's what heroes are for."

Unicorn: "I remember you. I remember."

Lir: "I wish I could see her just once more, to - to tell her all that's in my heart. She will never know what I really meant to say."
Schmendrick: "She will remember your heart when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits. Of all unicorns, she is the only one who knows what regret is - and love."

Unicorn: "You are a true wizard now, as you always wished. Does it make you happy?"
Schmendrick: "Well, men don't always know when they're happy, but I-I think so. And you?"
Unicorn: "I am a little afraid to go home. I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am no longer like the others; for no unicorn was ever born who could regret. But now I do. I regret."
Schmendrick: "I am sorry, I have done you evil and I cannot undo it."
Unicorn: "No. Unicorns are in the world again. No sorrow will live in me as long as that joy - save one, and I thank you for that part too. Farewell, good magician. I will try to go home."
