- [hesitates, braces herself]
- Coraline Jones: ...have a really funny way of showing it.
- Mother: Coraline, why don't you visit downstairs? I bet those actresses would love to hear your dream.

- Mother: [smiling] Mm-hm.
- Other Mother: [about Wyborne] I thought you'd like him more if he talked a little less. So I fixed him.

- Coraline Jones: No!
- Coraline Jones: I already know where you've hidden them.

- Coraline Jones: They're behind that door.
- Other Mother: Oh they are, are they?
- Cat: There!
- Coraline Jones: Mom... Dad!... Go on! Open it. They'll be there alright.
- Other Mother: You're wrong, Coraline... they aren't there. Now, you're going to stay here forever.
- Coraline Jones: NO, I'M, NOT!

- Beldam: Two!
- [Coraline gets scared at the transformation]
- Beldam: THREE!
- [grabs Coraline by her nose and drags her into the hallway]
- Coraline Jones: OW! what are you doing to me? Ouch that Hurts!
