"What on earth's the matter?" "It's your dream, ma'am, it's in the papers." "In the papers?" "Oh, good heavens." ""Tragic horror as children slain." "Bones found beneath dormitory windows."" "Oh, how absolutely frightful." "(gasps)" "(Mary) Oh!" "How did you get in there?" "I..." "I simply don't believe it." "I don't know what this place is coming to." "Really, I don't." "Now, come on downstairs or you'll be for it, you will." "(Queen) No, Mary, wait a moment." "Now, tell me truthfully." "Is there a little girl on the windowsill?" "Yes, ma'am, there is, ma'am, as plain as the nose on me face." "Yes, but you see, I dreamed there would be a little girl sitting there." "Oh!" "(chuckles)" "Well, well... there is, ma'am, isn't there?" "I mean, look." "Little girl, come here, please." "You are real, aren't you?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "And is your name Sophie?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "You were the girl in my dream." "How did you get in?" "She wasn't there last night, I'll swear to it." "I think you dreamed that, Your Majesty." "Yes." "Yes, I did." "I dreamed that a very tall giant put you there and that he's waiting outside now in the garden." "That's right." "He is." "(whimpers) Oh, Lord, preserve us!" "You needn't be frightened." "He's my friend." "He's lovely." "I'm quite sure he is." "But why have you and your friend come to see me?" "Didn't you dream that as well, Your Majesty?" "Yes." "Now you come to mention it, I did." "You were going to help us capture those terrible monsters." "The ones who ate the children." "(gulps) I don't think I'm feeling very well." "You did dream it!" "But how did you know what I was dreaming?" "The BFG can explain that, if you let me call him." "BFG?" "It stands for Big Friendly Giant." "He's..." "In the garden." "I know." "Very well, Sophie, you may call him." "(whispers) BFG." "You can come out now." "(Mary) Giants in the garden!" "I never heard anything so ridiculous in all my born..." "Oh!" "(groans)" "Here he is." "This is the BFG." "Your Majester." "I is your humbug servant." "We are very pleased to meet you." "Oh, Queen!" "Oh, Majester!" "Oh, Golden Sovereign!" "Oh, Sultana!"

"How wondercrump." "I is all of a... a stutter." "I has great secrets to tell Your Majester." "I should be delighted to hear them." "Would you care to join us for breakfast?" "Will it be stinky snozzcumbers, Majester?" "I beg your pardon?" "No, it won't!" "It'll be something nice, like eggs and bacon." "Mary, call Mr Tibbs about breakfast, would you?" "Mary?" "Mary?" "Oh, dear!" "(slurps) Mmm!" "It's getting better every time, this eggs and baking!" "Thank you, sir." "The chef will be delighted to know that." "Oh, Tibbs." "While Mr BFG is finishing breakfast, would you summon the head of the army and the head of the air force?" " Say it's an emergency." " Very good, ma'am." "Eurgh!" "Doesn't you have any frobscottle here for whizzpopping?" "No!" "Shh!" "Well, I can be whizzpopping without, if I wants to." "(Sophie) Well, you mustn't!" "What, no whizzpopping?" "No jollifying music?" "Oh, do let him sing if he wants to." "He doesn't want to sing." "I enjoy music at breakfast." "In Scotland they play the bagpipes outside my window." "(chuckles)" "Whizzpopping is better than bagglepipes, Majester." "(chuckles) I'm sure it is." " Please play something." " No, you're not to!" "I cannot be disobeying Her Majester the Queen."
