Quotes 

• Coraline Jones : How can you walk away from something and then come towards it?

  Cat : Walk around the world.

  Coraline Jones : Small world.

• Coraline Jones : [on the "Other" Mother]  Why does she want me?

  Cat : She wants something to love, I think. Something that isn't her. Or, maybe she'd just love something to eat.

  Coraline Jones : Eat? That's ridiculous, mothers don't eat... daughters.

  Cat : I don't know. How do you taste?

  [chuckles] 

• Coraline Jones : I can see you don't have button eyes, but... if you're the same cat, how can you talk?

  Cat : I just can.

• Cat : You probably think this world is a dream come true. But you're wrong. The other Wybie told me so.

  Coraline Jones : That's nonsense. He can't talk.

  Cat : Perhaps not to you. We cats, however, have far superior senses than humans, and can see and smell and... Shh! I hear something. Right over...

  [meows and runs off] 

• Cat : You realize you're walking right into her trap.

  Coraline Jones : I have to go back. They are my parents.

  Cat : Challenge her, then. She may not play fair, but she won't refuse. She's got a *thing* for games.

• Coraline Jones : Wybie's got a cat like you at home. Not the quiet Wybie, the one that talks too much. You must be the Other Cat.

  Cat : [speaking for the first time]  No... I'm not the other anything. I'm me.

• Cat : I don't like rats at the best of times, but this one was sounding an alarm.

• Coraline Jones : I already know where you've hidden them.

  Other Mother : Hmm... Well, then produce them.

  Coraline Jones : They're behind that door.

  Other Mother : Oh they are, are they?

  Cat : There!

  Coraline Jones : Mom... Dad!... Go on! Open it. They'll be there alright.

  Other Mother : You're wrong, Coraline... they aren't there. Now, you're going to stay here forever.

  Coraline Jones : NO, I'M, NOT!
