  • [from trailer] You have returned for a reason. Your adventure begins now.


[from trailer]
Eustace: This place just gets weirder and weirder!

[from trailer]
Edmund: So, if there are no wars to fight, then why are we here?

Edmund: Squirt? He barely had 2 years on me. I'm a king. I've fought wars and I've lead armies!
Lucy: Not in this world.

Edmund: Lucy, have you seen this ship before?
Lucy: Yes. It's very Narnian looking, isn't it?
Edmund: Yeah. Just another reminder that we're here and not there
Eustace: There once were two orphans who wasted their time, believing in Narnian nursery rhymes.
Edmund: Please let me hit him.
Lucy: No!
Edmund: Don't you ever knock?
Eustace: It's my house, I'll do as I please. You're just guests. What's so fascinating about that picture anyway? It's hideous!
Edmund: You won't see it from the other side of the door.
Lucy: Edmund it looks like the water's actually moving.
Eustace: What rubbish! See, that's what happens when you read all those fanciful novels and fairytales.
Edmund: There once was a boy called Eustace, who read books full of facts that were useless!
Eustace: People who read fairytales are always the sort to become a hideous burden to people like me. I read books of real information.
Edmund: Hideous Burden? I haven't seen you lift a finger since we've been here. [Eustace tries to escape, but Edmund shuts the door on him] I have a right mind to tell your father it was you who stole Aunt Alberta's sweets.
Eustace: Liar!
Edmund: Oh really?
Lucy: Edmund, the painting!
Edmund: I found them under your bed! And you know what? I licked every one of them.
Eustace: ew, I'm infected with you! [water starts to flow from painting] What's going on here?
Edmund: Lucy, do you think-?
Eustace: It's some kind of trick! Stop it, or I'll tell mother! Mother! Mother! Oh, I'll just smash the whole thing.
Edmund: No Eustace! No! No!

Lilliandil: [Caspian, Edmund, and Lucy look up into the sky as a brilliant blue light descends upon them]
Lucy: Look!
[the light transforms into Lilliandil]
Lilliandil: Travelers of Narnia, I am your guide.
King Caspian: You are most beautiful.
Lilliandil: If it is a distraction for you, I-I can change forms.
Edmund and King Caspian: [simultaneously] No!
[Caspian and Edmund look at each other. Lucy looks at them and rolls her eyes]

[first lines]
Intake Officer: Are you sure you're 18?
Edmund: Why? Do I look older?

Aslan: You shall.
Lucy: How?

Eustace: [pointing at Reepicheep] That giant rat thing just tried to claw my face off!
Reepicheep: I was merely trying to expel the water from your lungs, sir.
Eustace: It talks! Did you see? Did anyone just hear that? It just talked!
Crewmember: It always talks.
Caspian: Actually, it's getting him to shut up that's the trick.
Reepicheep: The moment there is nothing to be said, your Highness, I promise you, I will not say it.
Eustace: Well, I don't know what kind of prank this is, but I want to wake up right now!
Reepicheep: Perhaps we could throw him back?
'[Edmund looks as if he's considering this option]
Lucy: Edmund!
Eustace: I demand to know just where the blazes am I?!
[Tavros, a Minotaur approaches]
Tavros: You're on the Dawn Treader, the finest ship in Narnia's navy. [Eustace faints in shock, prompting laughter from the crew] Was it something I said?

Lucy: Do you really believe in such a place?
Reepicheep: We have nothing, if not belief.

Coriarchin: That sword you carry. It must be laid at Aslan's table. Only then can its true power be released.

Eustace: Hang on. You mean four of us? [The crew stopped paddling to look at him] Come on, please don't send me back to the rat.
Reepicheep: I heard that.
Eustace: [mumbling] Big ears.
Reepicheep: I heard that too.

Eustace: [seeing a mountain of gold] I must be dead. [seeing a skeleton] You're definitely dead.
