Princess Gwendolyn: If it pleases you so much, you marry Griswold.

Princess Gwendolyn: [to Griselda] Remember, if he dies, you die!

Princess Gwendolyn: If my father hears of this our necks will snap like twigs!

[she snaps her fingers, causing Griselda's spell to break and Hawkins to start panicking]

Hawkins: Uh, like what?

Princess Gwendolyn: Twigs!

[she snaps again, putting the spell back in place and Hawkins to stop panicking]

Hawkins: Twigs? Speak not of twigs when you look at an oak! Until tonight, my little sapling.

Princess Gwendolyn: I've seen this monster and it's not for nothing he's called the grim, grisly, and gruesome Griswold.

Princess Gwendolyn: Harm one hair on her head and I throw myself from the highest turret!
