Quotes
-
Dickon : And Ben said he loved her, and I said, what of that? Is loving someone a reason to kill? And Ben said, how old are thee?
Colin Craven : My father must've loved my mother very much.
Mary Lennox : I suppose we're not old enough. There must be an awful lot we don't know. I don't want to grow up.

Dickon : I've watched thee go about the garden. There's no way in.
Mary Lennox : In where?
Dickon : The secret garden. He locked the gate long years ago.
Mary Lennox : Who locked the gate?
Dickon : The master. Lord Craven, thy uncle.
Mary Lennox : What do you know about it?
Dickon : I know what's said. He locked the gate and buried the key, and nary's a soul been in there since.
Mary Lennox : I don't believe you. Do you know why I don't believe you? Because there isn't any gate. I've looked.
Dickon : Eh, so've I.

Mary Lennox : What were you doing watching me?
Dickon : I came to play with thee. My mother thought thou might be lonely.
Mary Lennox : Well, I'm not, and I don't play with any servant's brother. I never heard of anything so ridiculous. Thou can just go home.
[Dickon laughs]
Mary Lennox : I mean, you can just go home.

Mary Lennox : What's that?
Dickon : A fox cub. His name's Captain.
Mary Lennox : Dickon, are you still angry with me?
Dickon : When was I ever angry with thee?
Mary Lennox : Oh, good. Dickon, I've got so many secrets I'm just dying.
Dickon : Thou seems most healthy.
Mary Lennox : Dickon, I need you. All you have to do is listen. What good is a secret if there's no one to tell it to?
