Mary Lennox

 * I didn't cry because I do not know how to cry.
 * My mother didn't have time to tell me stories.
 * What? You thought I was a what? You... You... You daughter of a pig!
 * May I have a bit of earth?
 * I've stolen a garden. But it may already be dead, I don't know.
 * The spell was broken. My uncle learned to laugh, and I learned to cry. The secret garden is always open now. Open, and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden. [last line of the film]
 * If you scream another scream, I will scream too. And I can scream louder than you, and for longer.
 * Be quiet! You're the most selfish boy that ever was! I hate you!
 * No one who's ill can scream like that!

Colin

 * I'm master when my father's away.
 * Spores are the little things in the wind that get stuck to your lungs.
 * I'm coming back tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that.
 * I don't care.
 * I'm not sour!

Martha

 * When they said you were coming from India I thought you were going to be a native.
 * I thought all little girls liked to be tickled.
 * Begging your pardon, Miss.

Dialogue

 * [her uncle finds her sitting alone on the moor, after having been led there by Colin]
 * Lord Craven: Are you out here all by yourself?
 * Mary: It-it wasn’t wanted.
 * Lord Craven: What wasn’t wanted?
 * Mary: The-the garden.
 * Lord Craven: You’re right, I never wanted to see it again.
 * Mary: You never wanted to see Colin.
 * Lord Craven: You brought us back to life, Mary, you did something I thought no-one could do, I won't shut it up again, I promise, forgive me.


 * Colin Craven: Mary! Mary! What about the spores, can you see them! Mary! Mary! Mary! Oh, no! [falls out of his wheelchair and onto the floor screaming and crying]
 * Martha: Lem, come here and help me please! [Colin continues screaming and crying] Put him on the bed! Calm yourself, Master Colin. Just calm down, calm down. Go and see if Mrs. Medlock's back! Shh, calm down! Calm down, please! God.
