The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Quotes

Reepicheep: We were expecting someone taller!

Trumpkin: You're one to talk.

Reepicheep: Is that supposed to be irony?

Prince Caspian: Two days ago, I didn't believe in the existence of talking animals... of dwarves or... or centaurs. Yet here you are, in strengths and numbers that we Telmarines could never have imagined. Whether this horn

[raises horn for all to see]

Prince Caspian: is magic or not, it brought us together... and together, we have a chance to take back what is ours!

Lucy Pevensie: They're so still.

Trumpkin: The trees? What did you expect?

Lucy Pevensie: They used to dance.

Doctor Cornelius: [wakes Prince Caspian]

Prince Caspian: Five more minutes.

Lucy Pevensie: I wonder who lived here.

Susan Pevensie: [picks up a small gold statue] I think we did.

Edmund Pevensie: Hey, that's mine! From my chess set!

Peter Pevensie: Which chess set?

Edmund Pevensie: Well, I didn't exactly have a solid gold chess set in Finchley, did I?

King Miraz: Tell me, Prince Edmund...

Edmund Pevensie: King.

King Miraz: I beg your pardon.

Edmund Pevensie: It's King Edmund, actually. Just King, though. Peter's the High King.

[awkward pause]

Edmund Pevensie: I know, it's confusing.

Lucy Pevensie: What happened?

Peter Pevensie: Ask him.

Susan Pevensie: Peter!

Prince Caspian: Me? You could have called it off, there was still time.

Peter Pevensie: No, there wasn't, thanks to you. If you had kept to the plan, those soldiers might be alive right now.

Prince Caspian: And if you just had stayed here, as I suggested, they definitely would be!

Peter Pevensie: You called us, remember?

Prince Caspian: My first mistake.

Peter Pevensie: No. Your first mistake was thinking you could lead these people.

[turns around and begins to walk off]

Prince Caspian: Hey!

[Peter turns to look at him]

Prince Caspian: I am not the one who abandoned Narnia.

Peter Pevensie: You invaded Narnia. You have no more right leading than Miraz does.

[Caspian pushes past Peter]

Peter Pevensie: You, him, your father! Narnia's better off without the lot of you!

[Caspian and Peter draw swords, intending to attack each other]

[Edmund has helped Peter out of a fight in the English subway]

Edmund Pevensie: You're welcome.

Peter Pevensie: [Peter stands up] I had it sorted.

Susan Pevensie: What was it this time?

Peter Pevensie: He bumped me.

Lucy Pevensie: So you hit him?

Peter Pevensie: No, after he bumped me, they tried to make me apologize. That's when I hit him.

Susan Pevensie: Really, is it that hard to just walk away?

Peter Pevensie: I shouldn't have to! I mean, don't you ever get tired of being treated like a kid?

Edmund Pevensie: We are kids!

Peter Pevensie: Well, I wasn't always.

[after destroying the ice wall, which summons the White Witch]

Edmund Pevensie: [to Peter] I know, you had it sorted.

Lucy Pevensie: Oh my gosh, he's so cute.

Reepicheep: [Reepicheep draws his sword and looks around] Who said that?

Lucy Pevensie: Um, sorry.

Lucy Pevensie: I wish you would all stop trying to sound like grown-ups! I didn't think I saw him, I did see him.

Trumpkin: I *am* a grown-up.

Prince Caspian: [gives Susan her horn back] Maybe it's time you had this back.

Susan Pevensie: [gives the horn back] Why don't you hold on to it - you might need to call me again.

[a pause while Susan and Caspian exchange a long glance]

Lucy Pevensie: [quoting Susan as they ride off] "You might need to call me again"?

Susan Pevensie: Oh, shut up.

[the Pevensies are preparing to leave Narnia]

Prince Caspian: I wish we could have had more time together.

Susan Pevensie: We never would have worked, anyway.

Prince Caspian: Why not?

Susan Pevensie: Well, I am 1300 years older than you.

Prince Caspian: [Caspian and Peter begin a swordfight. Peter's sword gets stuck in a tree, so he attempts to pick up a rock to hit Caspian]

Lucy Pevensie: No! Stop!

Peter Pevensie: [after seeing the Narnians gathering around] Prince Caspian?

Prince Caspian: Yes. And who are you?

[Susan and Edmund run over]

Susan Pevensie: Peter!

Prince Caspian: High King Peter?

Peter Pevensie: I believe you called.

Prince Caspian: Yes, but... I thought you'd be... older.

Peter Pevensie: Well if you like, we can come back in a few years.

Prince Caspian: No! No, it's alright! You're not exactly what I expected.

Prince Caspian: [locks eyes with Susan]

Edmund Pevensie: Neither are you.

Nikabrik: I told you we should have killed him when we had the chance.

Trufflehunter: You know why we can't!

Prince Caspian: If we're taking a vote, I'm with him.

Susan Pevensie: [referring to Peter] I wish he'd just listened to the D.L.F. in the first place!

Edmund Pevensie: D.L.F.?

Lucy Pevensie: Dear Little Friend.

Trumpkin: Oh... that's not at all patronizing, is it?

Lucy Pevensie: [holding up one of her old dresses] I was so tall.

Susan Pevensie: Well, you were older then.

Edmund Pevensie: As opposed to hundreds of years later, when you're younger.

[watching Susan kiss Caspian goodbye]

Lucy Pevensie: I'm sure when I'm older, I'll understand.

Edmund Pevensie: I'm older and I don't think I *want* to understand...

Susan Pevensie: Oh no! Pretend you're talking to me!

Edmund Pevensie: We *are* talking to you.

Trufflehunter: [after fighting with Nikabrik in Trufflehunter's house and knocking down a bowl of soup] Look what you made me do!

[mutters:]

Trufflehunter: Spent half the morning on that soup...

Prince Caspian: What are you?

Trufflehunter: You know, it's funny that you should ask that. You'd think more people would know a badger when they see one.

Prince Caspian: No, I mean you're Narnians. You're supposed to be extinct.

Nikabrik: Sorry to disappoint you.

[Caspian overhears Trufflehunter arguing with Nikabrik]

Nikabrik: You said you were going to get rid of him!

Trufflehunter: No, I said I would take care of him.

Peter Pevensie: When Aslan bares his teeth, winter meets its death.

Lucy Pevensie: When he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again. Everyone we knew - Mr. Tumnus and the Beavers - they're all gone.

Peter Pevensie: I think it's time we found out what's going on.

Prince Caspian: Minotaurs? They're real?

Trufflehunter: And very bad-tempered.

Nikabrik: Not to mention big.

Trufflehunter: *Huge*.

Susan Pevensie: [aiming her bow and arrow at the Telmarines who have Trumpkin tied up in their boat] Drop him!

[They toss Trumpkin in the water. Susan shoots one Telmarine and he falls overboard; the other leaps over the side and swims away]

Trumpkin: [to Susan, after being rescued] Drop him? That's the best you can come up with?

[Miraz and Peter are preparing to duel]

King Miraz: There is still time to surrender.

Peter Pevensie: Well, feel free.

King Miraz: How many more must die for the throne?

Peter Pevensie: Just one.

[he attacks]

[last lines]

Edmund Pevensie: Do you think there's any way we can go back?

Edmund Pevensie: [the Pevensies all stare at him] I left my new torch in Narnia.

Queen Prunaprismia: [after Prince Caspian asks his Uncle if he killed his father] I thought you said your brother died in his sleep!

King Miraz: That was more or less true.

Peter Pevensie: [looking down a cliff over the water] Is there a way down?

Trumpkin: Yes. Falling.

[after rescuing Trumpkin]

Lucy Pevensie: Why were they trying to kill you, anyway?

Trumpkin: They're Telmarines. That's what they do.

Edmund Pevensie: Telmarines? In Narnia?

Trumpkin: Where have you been for the last few hundred years?

Lucy Pevensie: That's a bit of a long story.

[Susan hands Peter his sword, and comprehension dawns on Trumpkin]

Trumpkin: Oh, you've got to be kidding me. You're it? You're the kings and queens of old?

[after Lucy is nearly attacked by a bear]

Susan Pevensie: Why wouldn't he stop?

Trumpkin: I suspect he was hungry.

Lucy Pevensie: Thanks.

Edmund Pevensie: He was wild.

Peter Pevensie: I don't think he could talk at all.

Trumpkin: You get treated like a dumb animal long enough, that's what you become. You may find Narnia a more savage place than you remember.

[the Telmarines learn their weapon stocks have been raided]

General Glozelle: There's more.

[Glozelle closes the cart door; a message is carved into the wood]

King Miraz: "You were right to fear the woods."

Lord Sopespian: "X"?

King Miraz: Caspian. The Tenth.

Susan Pevensie: You see, over time the water erodes into the soil, then...

Peter Pevensie: Oh, shut up.

King Miraz: [as Peter holds a sword to his throat] What's the matter, boy? Too cowardly to take a life?

Peter Pevensie: [Peter puts down the sword] It's not mine to take.

[He turns and hands his sword to Prince Caspian]

[searching the ruins of Cair Paravel, Edmund comes across a large boulder]

Edmund Pevensie: Catapults.

Peter Pevensie: What?

Edmund Pevensie: This didn't just happen. Cair Paravel was attacked.

Pattertwig the Squirrel: We could collect nuts.

Reepicheep: Oh yes, and then we can throw them at the Telmarines.

[to Pattertwig]

Reepicheep: Shut up!

King Miraz: What do you know of Queen Susan's horn?

Doctor Cornelius: It was said to be magic.

King Miraz: Magic?

Doctor Cornelius: The Narnians believed it could summon their Kings and Queens of old.

Peter Pevensie: That's the trouble with girls. You can't carry a map in your heads.

Lucy Pevensie: That's because our heads have something in them.

[after Edmund bests Trumpkin in a sword fight]

Trumpkin: Beards and bedsteads! It looks like that horn worked after all.

Susan Pevensie: What horn?

[Caspian, Peter, Edmund, and Susan all kneel in front of Aslan]

Aslan: Rise, Kings and Queens of Narnia.

[Peter, Edmund, and Susan stand up, but Caspian stays, head bowed, on one knee]

Aslan: All of you.

Prince Caspian: I do not think I am ready.

Aslan: It's for that very reason, I know you are.

[Lucy wonders why Aslan hasn't ridden in to save the day]

Aslan: Things never happen the same way twice, dear one.

Peter Pevensie: High King Peter the Magnificent.

Susan Pevensie: [to Peter] You probably could have left off the last bit.

Trumpkin: [chuckling] Probably.

Reepicheep: [standing on Caspian with his sword pointed at him] Choose your last words carefully, Telmarine!

Prince Caspian: [rather scared] You are a mouse.

Reepicheep: [sighs] I was hoping for something a little more original. Pick up your sword.

Prince Caspian: [looks at his sword then looks back at Reepicheep] Uh... no thanks.

Reepicheep: Pick it up! I will not fight an unarmed man.

Prince Caspian: Which is why I might live longer if I choose not to cross blades with you, noble mouse.

Reepicheep: I said I would not fight you. I didn't say I'd let you live.

Trufflehunter: [from a small distance] Reepicheep! Stay your blade!

Reepicheep: Trufflehunter? I trust you have a very good reason for this untimely interruption!

Nikabrik: He doesn't. Go ahead.

Peter Pevensie: Lucky, you know.

Lucy Pevensie: What do you mean?

Peter Pevensie: You've seen him. I wish he'd just given me some sort of proof.

Lucy Pevensie: Maybe we're the ones that need to prove ourselves to him.

Prince Caspian: [offers Susan the horn] Look. Maybe it is time you had this back.

Susan Pevensie: Why don't you hold on to it. You might need to call me again.

Lucy Pevensie: [riding away with Susan] You might need to call me again?

Susan Pevensie: Oh, shut up.

Lord Sopespian: My king.

King Miraz: I will deal with you when this is over.

Lord Sopespian: It is over.

[stabs and kills Miraz]

Geeky Boy: What's your name?

Susan Pevensie: Phyllis.

Lucy Pevensie: Susan!

Prince Caspian: Why did you never tell me about my father?

Doctor Cornelius: My mother was a Black Dwarf from the Northern Mountains. I've risked my life all these years so that, one day, you might be a better king than those before you.

Prince Caspian: Then I have failed you.

Doctor Cornelius: Everything I told you, everything I didn't, it was only because I believe in you. You have a chance to become the most noble contradiction in history - the Telmarine who saved Narnia.

Peter Pevensie: It's only a matter of time. Miraz's men and war machines are on their way. That means those same men aren't protecting his castle.

Reepicheep: What do you propose we do, Your Majesty?

[Both Caspian and Peter begin to speak over each other; Peter turns and silences him with a glare]

Peter Pevensie: Our only hope is to strike them before they strike us.

Prince Caspian: Well, that's crazy. No one has ever taken that castle!

Peter Pevensie: There's always a first time.

Peter Pevensie: So, where exactly do you think you saw Aslan?

Lucy Pevensie: [turns to him] I wish you'd all stop trying to sound like grown-ups. I don't think I saw him, I did see him.

Trumpkin: [mutters] I *am* a grown-up.

Lucy Pevensie: It was right over...

[screams as she falls]

Susan Pevensie: Lucy!

Lucy Pevensie: [looks up at everyone] ... here.

King Miraz: [laughs] This is not a question of bravery.

Edmund Pevensie: So you're bravely refusing to fight a swordsman half your age?

Nikabrik: This bread is so stale.

Trufflehunter: I'll just get him some soup, then. He should be coming around soon.

Nikabrik: Yeah, well, I don't think I hit him hard enough.

Trufflehunter: Nikabrik, he is just a boy!

Nikabrik: He's a Telmarine, not some lost puppy. You said you would gonna get rid of him.

Trufflehunter: No, I said I would take care of him. We can't kill him now, we just bandaged his head, it would be like murdering a guest!

Lucy Pevensie: I was so tall.

Susan Pevensie: You were older then.

Edmund Pevensie: As opposed to hundreds of years later... when you're younger.
