Quotes 

• 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?

• 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 the card] 

  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 : [after being wash by the rotunda art, and becomes animated for the fist time]  I... I'm a cartoon.

  The Pagemaster : you are an illustration.
