for my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great.

Part C;

Category Two - Script/Dialogue;

There is no dialogue until we get to the beginning of the first scene, after the credits. Sarah runs in across a bridge, dressed in a typical costume that the viewers connect immediately with fantasy. She begins to recite a passage and as she speaks the line: "my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great!", thunder rumbles and she looks up losing her place, forgetting her line. She flicks through the red book up her sleeve, 'The Labyrinth', finding the line she can never remember, "you have no power over me."

This whole speech is recited and quoted time and time again throughout the film."I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City.." comes back when she asks the Goblin King to take away her baby brother Toby, only to beg for him back when it actually happens. The line "you have no power over me." becomes very symbolic as once she remembers it she manages to break down the glass between the fantasy and the real-world, remembering she must save her brother.

This particular speech creates meaning effectively throughout the film because it is repeated. The audience remember it well as it is introduced at the very start and then is referred back to again and again, so they can draw easy connections. Most of the time this will make them want to watch to the end of the film, so they aren't left hanging.
