“Sarah took a deep breath and set off along the passageway again.
A clump of lichen on the gatepost opened its eyes and watched her go.
The eyes, on tendrils, had an anxious look, and when she had gone some
distance away the clump, swiveling its eyes toward each other,
commenced to gossip among itself. Most of it disapproved of the
direction she had taken. You could tell that from the way the eyes
looked meaningfully into each other. Lichen knows about directions. ”

“En alguna parte al borde de tu imaginación
hay un Laberinto
Se tuerce y gira como malvados pensamientos,
y nadie... ningún hombre, mujer o niño...
ha alcanzado nunca el centro.

Allí,
dentro de las paredes de la Ciudad de los Goblins,
está el castillo de Jareth,
el rey de los goblins.

Los Goblins son asquerosas criaturitas
cuyo mayor deleite es robar bebés
y convertirlos en goblins.

Pero esto solo puede ocurrir
si tú lo deseas.

Debes pronunciar las palabras adecuadas
para que el deseo se convierta en realidad.

"Deseo que los goblins vengan
y se te lleven ahora mismo" son las palabras correctas.

Cuando los Goblins las oigan,
vendrán...

y vinieron”
