Treasure Island:

JIM: (Excitedly, trying to push past the maid who has opened the door) Dr Livesey? (The Doctor appears, accompanied by Squire Trelawney) I have brought you the packet, sir. Here it is. (Stepping inside the Doctor’s room and placing it ceremoniously on a table) Shall I open it for you sir? (He begins to open the packet) It seems to contain a book and a sealed paper. Shall we look at the book, sir?

101 Dalmatians:

CRUELLA DE VIL: Saul! Jasper! Turn off that television. And turn on the lights. And turn the sound right down. I have something to talk to you about my lads. Tonight, the dogs must be killed tonight. Yes I know we were going to wait until they were bigger Jasper, but some of them are, the older puppies, and the smaller ones can be made into gloves. Anyway, that’s not the point. The point is, they must be killed before anyone finds them. There’s been too much in the newspapers at the moment. They’ll even be on the television news tomorrow morning.

Jane Eyre:

JANE: Let me out! Let me out! I won’t say my prayers. I won’t! I won’t! I don’t care if Miss Abbott is right and something bad does come down the chimney to take me away. I really wish it would, then I wouldn’t have to live in this horrible house again. But… I don’t think it will and I’m scared. Scared of this lonely, cold bedroom; scared of those shadows and those flickering lights.
