Sarah Whittle Quotes in Jumanji (1995)

Sarah Whittle: You just saw three monkeys go by on a motorcycle, didn't you?

Judy Shepherd: Yeah.

Sarah Whittle: Good girl.

Alan Parrish: So, when can you start?

Jim Shepherd: Well, actually, Martha and I were thinking of taking a little skiing holiday in the Canadian Rockies.

Alan Parrish, Sarah Whittle: No!

[all is silent for a brief second]

Alan Parrish: Sorry. We just...

Sarah Whittle: ...need you to get that marketing done on the new line, pronto.

Jim Shepherd: No problem. No problem. You know, I can probably start next week.

Sarah Whittle: [reads] "Every month at the quarter moon / There'll be a monsoon in your lagoon."

[Thunderclouds appear and open up]

Sarah Whittle: Well, a little rain never hurt anybody.

Alan Parrish: Yeah, but a lot can kill you!

Alan Parrish: [in terror] "A hunter from the darkest wild / Makes you feel just like a child."

Sarah Whittle: What is it?

Alan Parrish: Van Pelt.

Hunter Van Pelt: [leveling his gun at Alan] End of the line, Sonny Jim. Game's up. Start running.

Alan Parrish: [as Sarah runs into the room] ... No.

Hunter Van Pelt: Aren't you afraid?

Alan Parrish: I'm terrified. But my father says you should always face what you're afraid of.

Hunter Van Pelt: [chuckles] Good lad. You're finally acting like a man.

[aims his gun at Alan]

Hunter Van Pelt: Any last words?

Alan Parrish: [Alan looks down and notices his game piece moving to the end of the board, after which the word "Jumanji" appears, reads it quietly:] Jumanji.

Hunter Van Pelt: Eh?

Alan Parrish: [slightly louder] Jumanji.

[Van Pelt cocks his gun... ]

Sarah Whittle: [runs to shield Alan] NO!

Peter Shepherd: [in horror] Judy!

Judy Shepherd: What?

Sarah Whittle: What happened?

Peter Shepherd: I thought I could end the game myself. I was only ten spaces away.

Judy Shepherd: [reads] "A law of Jumanji having been broken / You will slip back even more than your token."

Sarah Whittle: You tried to cheat?

Peter Shepherd: No, I tried to drop the dice so they'd land on twelve.

Sarah Whittle: Oh, okay, honey. Well, that would be cheating.

Judy Shepherd: [in terror] Peter, your hands! Look at your hands!

[Peter sees that he is growing monkey fur on his hands as a punishment]

Sarah Whittle: Alan, please, last time I played this game, it ruined my life.

Alan Parrish: [laughs] It ruined your life? "In the jungle, you must wait 'til the dice read five or eight."

Sarah Whittle: I was a little girl, Alan. You disappeared, and a bunch of bats surrounded me and chased me down the street. I was afraid. I'm sorry, Alan. No one believed me. I was all alone.

Alan Parrish: So was I. For 26 years, Sarah.

Sarah Whittle: [about Van Pelt] Well, have you ever thought about just sitting down and talking about your differences?

Alan Parrish: What are you, crazy? The man has a gun!

Sarah Whittle: Don't ever call me crazy, Alan! EVER! Because everyone in this town has called me crazy ever since I told the cops that you were sucked into a board game.

Alan Parrish: Twenty-six years ago, you played a game with a little boy down the street. A game with drums.

Sarah Whittle: How do you know that?

Alan Parrish: I was that little boy, Sarah.

Sarah Whittle: [hushed] Alan...

[she falls over in a faint]

Peter Shepherd: [to Alan] You killed her.

Sarah Whittle: You might've told us there was a man in there with a rifle that hunts people.

Alan Parrish: Well, I didn't know, okay? It's just the roll of the dice.

Judy Shepherd: [sarcastically] Is he the reason you didn't wanna play?

Sarah Whittle: [scoffs] You didn't want to play either, Mr. We-Started-Something-26-Years-Ago-And-Now-We've-Gotta-Finish-It?

Sarah Whittle: [reads] "You're almost there with much at stake / But now the ground begins to quake."

Sarah Whittle: [reads] 'They grow much faster than bamboo / Take care or they'll come after you'.

[Jungle plants start to grow]

Alan Parrish: Oh, great...

Sarah Whittle: [whimpers] Oh, God, tell me this isn't happening!

Alan Parrish: Oh, it is.

[Alan, Sarah, Peter, and Jud huddle close to each other in the middle of the room]

Alan Parrish: Stay away from the walls; don't touch anything. No quick movements.

Sarah Whittle: Do you know what it was like to have witnessed Alan Parrish's murder? Do you think anyone showed up at my 14th birthday party?

Sarah Whittle: Alan, you wrestled an alligator for me.

Alan Parrish: It was a crocodile. Alligators don't have that little fringe on their hind leg.

Sarah Whittle: My mistake.

Alan Parrish: Play the game, Sarah.

Sarah Whittle: [whispering] Oh, no, no, no.

Alan Parrish: All right. Just give me the dice, and you can go home. You don't have to play.

Sarah Whittle: Oh, thank you.

[Sarah gives Alan the dice but moves his hand making Sarah roll as Alan laughs; Sarah loses it]

Sarah Whittle: Oh, my god! How could you do that?

Alan Parrish: It's the law of the jungle, Sarah. You'll get used to it.

Sarah Whittle: And I think of all the energy, I spent visualizing you as a radiant spirit.

Sarah Whittle: I thought I lost you again.

Alan Parrish: Thanks for sticking around this time.

Sarah Whittle: [whispers] I knew this was going to be a bad day.

Alan Parrish: [holds her hand] Hey, come on, you'll be fine. We just have to keep our heads. Roll with the punches.

Sarah Whittle: [after Alan got chased by Van Pelt] What is the deal with you and this guy?

Alan Parrish: He's a hunter. He kills things, that's what he does. And right now, he wants to hunt me and kill me, okay?

Sarah Whittle: Why you?

Alan Parrish: Why me? I don't know. Everything about me he finds offensive. You'd think it'd be a waste of his time. Maybe he needs something for his wall, you know, a Parrish - something to go between penguin and partridge.

Sarah Whittle: [Alan grabs her] Oh, get your hands off me!

Alan Parrish: The game is not over yet, Sarah!

Sarah Whittle: Well, it is for me! You are not in the jungle anymore. Stop this, you don't treat people like this!

Sarah Whittle: [in 1995] Alan, they're here.

[Alan and Sarah greet Judy and Peter]

Alan Parrish: [a pelican has grabbed the game] WHY DIDN'T YOU GRAB THE GAME, PETER?

[chases after pelican]

Sarah Whittle: [to dejected Peter] Just ignore him, honey, he's a Libra.

[calls to Alan]

Sarah Whittle: WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

Alan Parrish: He'll head for water!
