Quotes 

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

  Judy Shepherd : Yeah.

  Sarah Whittle : Good girl. Come on.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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!

• 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, ALAN! NO!

• 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.

• 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.

• 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] 

• 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 : [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 : [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 : 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 you were sucked into a board game.

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

  Alan Parrish : [exasperatingly sarcastic]  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 : 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 : I have spent over 2,000 hours in therapy convincing myself that that doesn't exist. See, what happened to you was so awful I made up that whole thing.

  Alan Parrish : Sarah, it was awful. It was awful. It was awful, it really was. But it was real. Real.

  Sarah Whittle : No, no, no, it wasn't real, Alan. Your father murdered you and he chopped you up into little pieces.

  Alan Parrish : Sarah, come on! My dad did that? My father could barely hug me, let alone cut me into little pieces.

• 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.

• Sarah Whittle : I thought I lost you again.

  Alan Parrish : Thanks for sticking around this time.

• 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!

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

  [chases after pelican] 

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

  Sarah Whittle : [calls to Alan]  WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

  Alan Parrish : He'll head for water!

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

  [rumbling begins to occur scaring away the spiders as they were about to harm Sarah and Alan] 

  Alan Parrish : Our only chance is if we finish the game!

  Sarah Whittle : It's your turn...

  [Sarah panics as the ground quakes splitting up the house but also freeing Alan and Sarah from the floorboards] 

  Sarah Whittle , Alan Parrish : OH, MY GOD!

  [as the house continues to split, the Jumanji game tips over from the broken floorboard] 

  Alan Parrish : GET THE GAME! THE GAME!

  Sarah Whittle : No, I won't let you go!

  [the game falls landing on the edge of another broken floorboard from below, Alan holds on for his life until he falls but grabs onto a vine attached from the ceiling] 

  Sarah Whittle : ALAN!

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

  [Alan and Sarah greet Judy and Peter] 

• 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.
