"Yes, laugh. Go on, laugh. There's them on this island as would laugh at anything. And what happened? What's grown-ups goin' to think? Young Simon was murdered"

"Jolly good show. Like the Coral Island"

"I don't care what they call me, so long as they don't call me what they used to call me at school"

"If a ship comes near the island they may not notice us. So we must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire"

"I gave you food and my hunters will protect you from the beast. Who will join my tribe?"

"I dunno. And Ralph, Jack, the Chief, says it'll be dangerous - " " - and we've got to be careful and throw our spears like at a pig"

"That's what this shell's called. I'll give the conch to the next person to speak. He can hold it when he's speaking"

"Didn't you hear the conch? You played a dirty trick - we'd have given you fire if you'd asked for it - "

"We'll get food. Hunt. Catch things"

"Maybe there is a beast." "What I mean is....maybe it's only us"
