Alan Parrish

• In the jungle, you must wait until the dice read 5 or 8? What’s that mean?

• To Sarah just before he begins to get sucked into the Jumanji game vortex

• I’M BACK! MOM! DAD! I’M HOME! I’M BACK! IT’S ME! IT’S ME, ALAN, MOM AND DAD! I’M HOME! [lowers voice] I’m back.

• I’ve seen things you’ve only seen in your nightmares. Things you can’t even imagine. Things you can’t even see. There are things that hunt you in the night. Then something screams. Then you hear them eat, and you hope to God that you’re not dessert. Afraid? You don’t even know what afraid is.

• Beware of the ground on which you stand, the floor is quicker than the sand.

• I’ve got it! Colonel Mustard in the Library with a wrench. (laughs) Clue.

• [while being sunk in the wooden floor as quicksand; all attempts to get him out fail] STOP GIVING ME THINGS THAT COME APART!!!

• [after getting jumped by Billy and his group] JERKS!!

Sarah Whittle

• At night they fly, you better run. These winged things are not much fun.

• Don’t ever call me crazy, Alan! Ever! ‘Cause everyone in this town has called me crazy ever since I told them that you were sucked into a board game!

• They grow much faster than bamboo. Take care or they’ll come after you.

• Every month at the quarter moon, there’ll be a monsoon in your lagoon.

• You’re almost there with much at stake, but now the ground begins to quake…

Judy Shepherd

• A tiny bite can make you itch, make you sneeze, make you twitch.

• It’s not real, Peter. It’s a hallucination.

• Don’t be fooled; it isn’t thunder. Staying put would be a blunder.

• There is a lesson you will learn: sometimes you must go back a turn.

• We barely even knew our parents. They were always away. Skiing in St. Moritz, gambling in Monte Carlo, safariing in darkest Africa. We didn’t even know if they loved us. But when the sheik’s yacht went down, they managed to write us a really beautiful goodbye note that was found floating in a champagne bottle amongst the debris.

• [after Aunt Nora grounds her for lying] There’s nowhere to go in this stupid town, anyway. And just for your information, that wasn’t a lie.

Peter Shepherd

• This will not be an easy mission. Monkeys slow the expedition.

• His fangs are sharp. He likes your taste. Your party better move poste haste.

• Need a hand? Well, you just wait. We’ll help you out. We each have… eight?

Others

• Billy: Just because you’re a Parrish doesn’t mean you can hang around with my girlfriend.

• Van Pelt: You miserable coward! Come back here and face me like a man!

• Gun Salesman: [to Van Pelt, who purchases a new gun] You’re not a postal worker, are you?

• Carl: [after a jungle vine drags his car away] FINE!! TAKE IT!!

• Carl: I should’ve been a fireman.

Dialogue

:Carl Bentley: [about a shoe he just finished making] I’ve been workin’ on this for almost a year. I got an appointment this afternoon with your father to show him this. Go ahead, take it. So, what do you think? You think he’ll like it?
:Young Alan: What is it?
:Carl Bentley: What is it? Man, this is the future! If I can get Wilt Chamberlain to wear ‘em, I predict there’ll be a pair of those in every closet in America. That’s gonna be the height of fashion.
:Sam: Hard work, determination, a cheerful outlook: attributes that have exemplified the Brantford spirit since our forefathers first settled this town. Despite the harshness of our native clime and the granite of our soil, we have…
:Carol: Prospered.
:Sam: I knew the damn thing this morning.
:Carol: You’ll know the darn thing tonight.
:Young Alan: Maybe I don’t wanna be who you are. Maybe I don’t even wanna be a Parrish.
:Sam: [firmly] You won’t be. Not ’til you start acting like one. [to his wife] Get your coat.
:Young Alan: I guess I’m not ready for Cliffside, then.
:Sam: [about to leave] We’re taking you there next Sunday, and I don’t wanna hear another word about it!
:Young Alan: You won’t! I’m never talkin’ to you again!
:[Sam shuts the door and leaves, and Alan rips his Cliffside brochure]
:Young Alan: Wanna play?
:Young Sarah: I quit playing board games five years ago.
:Young Alan: [after reacting to the bell from the clock, he accidentally rolls the dice] Oh, no. The game thinks I rolled.
:Young Sarah: What do you mean “the game thinks”?
:Peter Shepherd: His fangs are sharp. He likes your taste. Your party better move posthaste.
:Judy Shepherd: I don’t like the sound of that.
:Alan Parrish: Are you my little sister?
:Judy Shepherd: No. I’m Judy and he’s Peter.
:[after Alan jumps onto Carl's cruiser]
:Alan Parrish: What year is it?
:Carl Bentley: It was brand-new.
:Alan Parrish: No, what year is it?
:Judy Shepherd: Uh, 1995, remember?
:Alan Parrish: [in shock] ’95?
:Carl Bentley: You got some ID? Oh, let me guess, you probably left it in your other Tarzan outfit, right?
:Alan Parrish: [to himself] 26 years!
:Carl Bentley: Are you from around here?
:Alan Parrish: I was. But I’ve been in Jumanji.
:Judy Shepherd: Indonesia. He was in the Peace Corps.
:Carl Bentley: [about Alan] Is this man related to you?
:Judy Shepherd: Yes, sir. He’s our… uncle.
:Carl Bentley: Does he always dress like that?
:Judy Shepherd: Well, yeah. He’s a… vegetarian.
:Judy Shepherd: There’s a lion in my aunt’s bedroom. What am I supposed to do about that?
:Alan Parrish: What do I look like, a Ringling Brother?
:Judy Shepherd: But she’ll be home soon!
:Alan Parrish: Won’t she be surprised! I hope she’s not allergic to cats.
:Judy: What happened to you? You shave with a piece of glass?
:Alan: What happened to you? The Clampetts have a yard sale? Whattaya want? I’ve never shaved before.
:Alan Parrish: [in terror] “A hunter from the darkest wild… makes you feel just like a child.”
:Sarah Whittle: What is it?
:Alan Parrish: Van Pelt.
:Gun Salesman: What can I do for you?
:Van Pelt: I want a gross of these. [hands the man an empty shotgun shell]
:Gun Salesman: You know, they stopped making these in 1903.
:Van Pelt: Damn! Then I shall need a replacement weapon.
:Sarah: What happened?
:Peter: I thought I could end the game myself. I was only 10 spaces away.
:Judy: (reads a notice in the center of the board) A law of Jumanji having been broken, you will slip back even more than your token.
:Sarah: You tried to cheat?
:Peter: No! I tried to drop the dice so they’d land on 12.
:Sarah: Oh, okay, honey. Well, that would be cheating.
:Judy: Peter, your hands! Look at your hands! [Peter sees monkey fur growing on his hands as the penalty for cheating]
:Alan: Where’s Sir Sav-A-Lot?
:Carl Bentley: Monroe and Elm!
:Alan: The Episcopal Church.
:Carl: No, it’s not a church anymore. Now it’s a Speedy Burger. Or at least it was. I don’t know what’s left of it. People in this town are goin’ loopy.
:Sarah: Alan, you wrestled an alligator for me.
:Alan: It was a crocodile. Alligators don’t have that little fringe on their hind leg.
:Sarah: My mistake.
