Richard Tyler Quotes in The Pagemaster (1994)

Mr. Dewey: Welcome to the library, young man. Don't tell me. You're here for a special book.

Richard Tyler: Mister...

Mr. Dewey: Stop stop stop. Allow me to guess. I have a talent for guessing what people need. You're in need of a fantasy! Brave knights, mythical fairies, ferocious dragons!

Richard Tyler: Look, all I want is...

Mr. Dewey: Adventure! Of course! You're a boy who loves adventure, brimming with wicked demons, cutthroat pirates.

Richard Tyler: No, no, that's not it.

Mr. Dewey: Horror! Oh, horror! Evil demons, wicked monsters, haunted houses, graveyards. Yes, it's horror for you, boy. I'm sure of it. Your library card, please.

Richard Tyler: I don't have one.

Mr. Dewey: [pulls out a brand new one] You do now. Sign here.

[Richard signs it]

Mr. Dewey: Richard Tyler, consider this your passport to the wonderful and quite unpredictable world of books.

Richard Tyler: But I don't want any books.

Mr. Dewey: Hmm?

Richard Tyler: That's what I've been trying to tell you. I only came in here 'cause of the storm.

Mr. Dewey: You mean you don't need...?

[Richard shakes his head]

Mr. Dewey: [disappointed] Oh, I see.

Richard Tyler: Hey! How'd you get here?

Fantasy: Quit it! We are in the presence of the Pagemaster.

Richard Tyler: I *know* who he is. He's the guy who did all THIS to me! Do you have any idea what I've been through?

The Pagemaster: Tell me.

Richard Tyler: I was nearly torn to shreds by a crazy doctor, I was made a slave to a bunch of mangy pirates, and eaten. Got that? Eaten by a fire-breathing dragon!

Horror: He don't mean it, my Pagemaster. He don't mean it.

Richard Tyler: Not to mention being tossed, squashed, and scared practically to death!

The Pagemaster: Yet you stand before me.

Richard Tyler: Well, yeah.

The Pagemaster: Think, boy. What kind of an adventure would you have had if I brought you here with the turn of a page?

Richard Tyler: [to Adventure] You guys are the only friends I ever had.

[repeated line]

Richard Tyler: This is not good, definitely not good.

Fantasy: What is this?

Richard Tyler: It's a library card.

Fantasy: I'm a book, honey, I can read.

Dr. Jekyll: My boy, I derive no pleasure in telling you that you are in extreme danger.

Richard Tyler: Danger?

Dr. Jekyll: Even as we speak.

Tom Morgan: Give the word, Captain Silver, and I'll show you the color of his insides.

Richard Tyler: Red, red, they're red!

Long John Silver: Stow your cutlass, Tom, I want a better look at his outsides first.

Fantasy: You know this short story?

Richard Tyler: He's Adventure.

Fantasy: Honey, that's what they all say.

Richard Tyler: Fantasy!

Fantasy: Naturally. Who were you expecting, honey? The Tooth Fairy?

Richard Tyler: Do I click my heels or something?

Fantasy: You're in the wrong story, honey.
