The Beast quotes from Over the Garden Wall

Wow, Wirt! You saved the day twice today!

Wirt

Yeah, I guess. But so what? We're still not any closer to getting home. I just don't know what I'm doing out here anymore. I don't know if we'll ever get back home.

Sure we will! What can stop us? You got a plan, remember?

Wirt

I lied.

Aw, come on! Let's go, captain! Lead the way! You can do it! [Wirt sighs; the Beast watches them]

Beast

Yes, yes. All hope will soon be lost. [turns to the Woodsman] We're lucky the boy had the pluck to best you. Your play could have cost us both. [hovers over the Woodsman] Don't you care about keeping the lantern lit? Don't you care about your daughter's soul?

Woodsman

One cannot trade the souls of children as if they were tokens! There has to be another way.

Beast

No. There is only me. There is only my way. There is only the forest, and there is only surrender.

Beast

Did you fetch for me the Golden Comb?

Will that work?

Beast

This is a honeycomb.

Golden comb of honey. [Giggles]

Beatrice

Greg! Oh! [Whimpers] Oh! [Howls] Greg!

Huh?

Beast

Never mind that, Gregory. You've brought me the first two items--a golden comb and a spoon of silver thread.

Wirt

Wait. that's dumb.

Beast

What?

Wirt

That's dumb. I'm not just gonna just wander around in the woods for the rest of my life.

Beast

I'm trying to help you.

Wirt

You're not trying to help me. You just have some weird obsession with keeping this lantern lit. It's almost like your soul is in this lantern.

Beast

Are you ready to see true darkness?

Wirt

[Scared in a small squeaky voice] Are y-[Clears his throat, becoming serious] Are you?

Beast

[Panicked] DON'T!!! DON'T!!!!

Beatrice

Wirt...

Wirt

Come with us.

Beatrice

I--I got to go home, too, admit to my family it's my fault they're bluebirds.

Beatrice

What?

Wirt

The scissors that'll make your family human again.

Beatrice

You had them all along!

Wirt

I-I used them to escape Adelaide, and then--then... yeah, I-I was sort of mad at you.

Beatrice

[tearfully] Oh, you... wonderful mistake of nature!

Beast

You see, Woodsman? All who perish here will become trees for the lantern. Cut them down with your ax. Go! Now!

Woodsman

NO!! [He swings the lantern showing the beast in full color for a fraction of a second. The Woodsman opens the latern]

Beast

STOP! You'll never see your daughter again Woodsman! Are you really ready to go back to that empty house? [The Woodsman sheds a tear as he realizes this might be true, then angrily raises the lantern and inhales] NO! WOODSMAN!!! [The Woodsman blows out the lantern, killing the beast]
