“- Capt. Crewe: What are you doing? Memorizing me by heart?
- Sara Crewe: No... I already know you by heart.”“- Sara Crewe: Thank you.
- Miss Minchin: Sara, there's no talking at the table.
- Sara Crewe: Doesn't seem natural.
- Miss Minchin: I won't say it again.”“- Sara Crewe: Why don't they come to life in front of us so we can see them?
- Capt. Crewe: Because it's magic. Magic has to be believed. It's the only way it's real.”“- Sara Crewe: Look! Just what we ordered!
- Becky: I'm a little scared about all of this.
- Sara Crewe: Me too. Do you think we shouldn't eat it?
- Becky: I'm not that scared!”“All women are princesses, it is our right.”
“- Sara Crewe: Don't you ever do that, Miss Minchin? Believe in something just to make it seem real?
- Miss Minchin: I suppose that's rather easy for a child who has everything. And now from now on, there will be no more 'make believe' at this school during reading hour or at any other time. Is that understood?”“It's time you learn, Sara Crewe, that real life has nothing to do with your little fantasy games. It's a cruel, nasty world out there and it's our duty to make the best of it - not to indulge in ridiculous dreams, but to be productive and useful!”
“- Becky: Sara, why don't you tell your stories anymore?
- Sara Crewe: They're just make-believe. They don't mean anything.
- Becky: Oh, but they've always meant something to me. There were days I thought I would die, until I heard you talk about the magic.
- Sara Crewe: There is no magic, Becky.”“From now on, you must earn your room and board here. You will move to the attic with Becky and work as a servant. If you fail to meet the standards of this institution or if you don't do as you're told, you'll be thrown out. And believe me, Sara, the streets of the city are not kind to homeless beggars.”
