    Give Me The Child

    Sarah: Give me the child.

    Jareth: Sarah, beware. I have been generous up until now. I can be cruel.

    Sarah: Generous? What have you done that's generous?

    Jareth: Everything! Everything that you wanted I have done. You asked that the child be taken. I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations. Isn't that generous?

    A Crystal

    Jareth: I've brought you a gift.
