Quotes 

• Hilda : I guess Trolberg is my home now.

  Wood Man : Well, obviously. For now anyway. And someday your home may be somewhere else. But that doesn't mean you leave your other homes behind. The wilderness will always be a part of who you are. That's why we're such good friends.

  Hilda : We are?

  Wood Man : Repeating myself makes me anxious. I'll stop by next time I'm in town. Make sure you do the same. Just... walk on in.

• Hilda : [the Wood Man is examining the giant's stash and taking back the items he lost; finding a crown, he puts it on his head]  You lost that crown?

  Wood Man : ...I would prefer not to lie to you.

• Hilda : [the Wood Man has lost Hilda to a giant at elf poker]  I can't believe it! He bet me, and right after I asked him for help.

  Wood Man : [from outside the giant's treasure room]  Little help!

  Hilda : Wood Man! You came to rescue me.

  Wood Man : Sort of. I was hoping you'd help me reclaim some items I've lost.

  Hilda : Wait. You lost me to the giant *on purpose*?

  Wood Man : You think I'd go all in with three acorns? I should be the offended one.

  Hilda : Huh!

  Wood Man : Now, see if you can find the rope ladder I "lost" a few weeks ago.

• Hilda : [Hilda is waiting for the Wood Man to finish his card game with the Elves so he can escort her back to Trolberg]  Not to be a bother, but when were you planning on heading back?

  Wood Man : Eager to leave the woods... city girl?

  Hilda : No, I'm not, uh... It's just Mum will be really worried about me.

  Wood Man : You'll have to wait until I'm back on top again.

  [the Wood Man loses another hand] 

  Wood Man : It may be a while.

  [Hilda groans] 

• Wood Man : [playing elf poker]  Aw, man! I just lost something valuable.

  Hilda : Really? What?

  Wood Man : You.

• Hilda : [Hilda and her friends are trapped inside a magical house which doesn't allow them to leave but can materialize any item they want]  It doesn't matter if you give me books about trolls, new colored pencils, cucumber sandwiches or all my favorite things! You will never be my home!

  [the items appear but flicker] 

  Hilda : Wait a minute. Everybody, request more things! It doesn't matter what, just do it as quickly as you can.

  Raven : Oh, I wouldn't wanna be greedy.

  Hilda : Just trust me.

  [Hilda, Alfur, Twig and the Raven all concentrate and make new objects appear; again, the items flicker] 

  Hilda : It's working! The house is having trouble keeping up. Wood Man, we need your help!

  Wood Man : Just a moment. I'm trying to picture the perfect end table.

  [Hilda groans; the table appears] 

  Wood Man : Hmm. The grain could be better.

  Hilda : Please, get with the spirit of the exercise!

  Wood Man : Fine, fine!

  Raven : [even more items materialize and flicker]  Hilda, I'm having trouble thinking of more things to want!

  Alfur : Me too! Simplicity has always been one of my virtues. Ah!

  Hilda : Come on! Don't stop now. We've almost defeated it! Just ask for, I don't know... a diamond monocle!

  Wood Man : [the Wood Man turns to show that he is, in fact, wearing a diamond monocle]  Already did.
