"You gets in there.." Hoggle points to doors that magically start to open... revealing a straight, long corridor. Hoggle laughs at Sarah's expression.
|
"Which way would you go?" Sarah asks Hoggle.
"Me?? I wouldn't go either way..."
"If that's all the help you're going to be you can just leave."
After a retort, Hoggle slams shut the gate leaving Sarah alone.
"What do they mean LABYRINTH? There aren't any turns or corners or anything! It just goes on and on.... Maybe it doesn't.... Maybe I'm just taking it for granted that it does..." So Sarah begins to run.
|
Out of frustration at finding no turns, Sarah beats against the stone walls then drops down in anguish. All of the sudden she hears a little "A'lo." Scanning her surroundings she notices a little worm looking up at her.
"Did you say 'Hello'?" Sarah asks quizically.
"No, I said A'lo but 'ats close enuf."
"You don't by any chance know the way through this labyrinth, do you?"
"Who me? Nah, I'm just a worm... Come inside and meet 'da misses."
"No thank you, but I have to solve this labyrinth. But there aren't any turns or any openings it just goes on and on and..."
|
"Well you ain't lookin' right. It's full of openings. It's just you ain't seeing 'em... There's one just across 'ere, right in front of ya'... You try walking through it yu'll see what I mean... Go on, go on then."
|
Taking a turn that leads away from the castle, Sarah makes her way into the labyrinth. At this time, Jareth is starting to work his magic on Toby by singing about the spells he can use.
Sarah comes up with an idea of using her tube of lipstick to mark her way through the labyrinth. Coming upon a dead-end, Sarah truns around and realizes that her marks have been changed. Out of frustration she turns back toward the dead-end and in its place are two doors and a set of doormen.
"This was a dead-end a minute ago."
"No that's the dead-end behind you! Ha ha ahaha.."
"Well the only way out of here is to try one of these doors. One of them leads to the castle at the center of the labyrinth and the other one leads to.. bmm.. bmm.. bmmm.. bummmm.. Certain DEATH.. OHHhhh.." The doormen inform Sarah.
|
"Well.. which one is which?"
"You can only ask one of us.. and I should warn you. One of us always tells the truth and the other one always lies... He always lies.." The doorman responds.
|
"I do not.. I tell the truth." The second doorman says with dignity.
Using her wits, Sarah feels that she outsmarted the doormen. So Sarah pushes her way through the 'correct' door, confidentally saying, "I think I'm getting smarter.. It's a piece of cake!" Sarah immediately begins to fall.
"HELP!!" Sarah cries.
"What do you mean help... We are helping... We're helping hands... Well come on then... Which way?"
|
"Which way?"
"Up or Down? Come on, come on... We haven't got all day... Which way do you want to go, hmmm... Yes, which way??"
|
"Well since I'm pointing that way, I guess I'll go down.."
"She chose down... She chose down... Ha ha!"
"Was that wrong?"
"Too late now.... hahahahahah."
