The Cat
- Coraline Jones: How can you walk away from something and- still come back to it?
- Cat: Walk around the world.
- Coraline Jones: Small world.
- Coraline Jones: [on the "Other" Mother] Why does she want me?
- Cat: She wants something to love, I think. Something that isn't her. Or, maybe she'd just love something to eat.
- Coraline Jones: Eat? That's ridiculous, mothers don't eat... daughters.
- Cat: I don't know. How do you taste?
- [chuckles]
- Coraline Jones: I can see you don't have button eyes, but... if you're the same cat, how can you talk?
- Cat: I just can.
- Cat: You probably think this world is a dream come true. But you're wrong. The other Wybie told me so.
- Coraline Jones: That's nonsense. He can't talk.
- Cat: Perhaps not to you. We cats, however, have far superior senses than humans, and can see and smell and... Shh! I hear something. Right over...
- [meows and runs off]
- Cat: You realize you're walking right into her trap.
- Coraline Jones: I have to go back. They are my parents.
- Cat: Challenge her, then. She may not play fair, but she won't refuse. She's got a *thing* for games.
- Coraline Jones: Wybie's got a cat like you at home. Not the quiet Wybie, the one that talks too much. You must be the Other Cat.
- Cat: [speaking for the first time] No... I'm not the other anything. I'm me.
- Coraline Jones: I already know where you've hidden them.
- Other Mother: Hmm... Well, then produce 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!
