Terry Gilliam Film:

  • The whole film in general. When it's not attacking you with bizarre Nightmare Fuel, it's downright hysterical.
  • This gem very early on. Jake almost blabs on how lucrative their business is and:
    Will: He can't hold his ale.
    Jake: I can't hold me ale!
    Everyone in the Tavern: (loud cheers)
  • When they arrive at Marbaden and a tomboy tells her father about the Grimm's when the suspicious village is holding them at gunpoint:
    Will: Look at this strapping young lad!
    Peasant: "He" is my daughter.
    Will: (Beat) And a fine wife he'll make some lucky man!
  • Cavaldi is a riot and a scene-stealer at all times he appears.
    Will: [To the General as the Cavaldi tortures them and Angelika for information] He's not the most trustworthy! He-he panics!
    Cavaldi: [Nonchalantly] The Great Cavaldi never panics. [A cute kitten brushes his leg] AHHHHHHHH!!!! [Kicks the kitten into the giant blender blades of his torture device, turning it into burger]
  • When the brothers' cohorts, Hidlick and Bunst, run back to the village under the pretense of getting tools, they arrive just in time to see the weird muddy gingerbread man snatch up Sasha and absorb her into its body, freaking them both out.
    Bunst: [stunned in horror] I do believe I've soiled myself...
    Hidlick: [equally stunned] Oh good. I thought that was me.
  • "Trust the toad!"
  • At one point in the film, the wolf shakes its head at a character's stupidity.
  • When Cavaldi brings the brothers to Marbadan, he does so by stuffing them in cages that are much too small, forcing their bodies into an uncomfortable position for a long trip. When they arrive and are released, the two brothers spend a good deal of time yawning and stretching their very sore joints.
    Will: [trying to act heroic]Good people of Marba- ow! [clutches his back in pain] Good people of Marbadan!
  • When the brothers first meet Cavaldi. Will has gone to bed with two sisters, who wake to see him looming over them and give a prolonged scream. Will, not even opening his eyes, attempts to shush them, only to scream even louder when he opens his eyes.
    • Jacob talking in his sleep: "The giants will crush you... they'll rip out your heart."
    • "You've got a rope tied around your foot."
  • Jacob and Will realising the stories about the forest were Real After All.
    Jacob: Will, are you seeing what I'm seeing?
    Will: I most definitely am not.
    [Later]
    Will: These people are much better funded than we are!
  • Will yelling for Jakob's help while running from the Ax-Crazy Woodsman:
    Will: Jakob Grimm, you bed-wetting piss bucket!!!
