Terry Castillo: Huggins

Quotes 

• Bridget Severson : [after stepping through the mirror into Hugga Land]  Oops! Lost a shoe!

  Huggins : Don't need shoes here. Everything is soft and fuzzy.

• Hodge Podge the Elephant : I must have fainted. Where are we?

  Hugsy : We're in the dungeon.

  Hodge Podge the Elephant : Are we having fun?

  Hugsy : Fun? We're prisoners, that's what we are!

  Hodge Podge the Elephant : What's a prisoner? I forget?

  Huggins : We're locked in and we can't get out.

  Hodge Podge the Elephant : You want to get out? Why don't we just get out?

  Hugsy : The door is locked shut, Hodge Podge!

  Hodge Podge the Elephant : Oh!

  Hugsy : Use your noodle!

  Hodge Podge the Elephant : Oh, is THAT what this thing is! My noodle!

  [takes hold of the prison's bars with his trunk and breaks them all free] 

• Bridget Severson : [after losing the magic young berries]  It's too late! I've ruined everything!

  Huggins : There, there. Dumb old stuff, it probably wouldn't have worked, anyway.

  Bridget Severson : It would have! I know it would have!

  Hugsy : Well, I never believed in it. Being old, or being young, isn't what's important.

  Huggins : Remember what the Bookworm told you? Affection, hugging, and being needed. That's better than any old magic berries any time.

• Bridget Severson : Are there more of you?

  Huggins : Bunches more! The whole Hugga Bunch clan! My name is Huggins.

  Bridget Severson : Well, I'm very pleased to meet you, Huggins. Excuse me for falling all over myself like that. You shook me up! It's the first time someone came through my mirror! How did you do it?

  Huggins : The Hugga Bunch lives just on the other side of the mirror. Mirrors soften up when folks hug. It's one of your basic, perplexiconic, chemical miracles... You're frowning.

  Bridget Severson : Excuse me, but the other side of my mirror is my closet.

  Huggins : [giggles]  Through the door is the closet, but through the mirror is Hugga Land, where we live.

  Bridget Severson : I'm trying to follow this...

  Huggins : It's very simple. The Hugga Bunch lives in Hugga Land. We hug all the live-long day!

  Bridget Severson : Oh, my Grams would LOVE it there!

  Huggins : I've watched, she is a good hugger!

  Bridget Severson : So am I!

  Huggins : So am I!

  Bridget Severson : I'll show you!

• Huggins : As leader of the Hugga Bunch I've decided to come and help. Because I'm in charge, and I'm the only one with savoir fair.

  Bridget Severson : Huh?

  Huggins : That's French, savior fair. It means I have charm.

  Bridget Severson : I find you very charming. But it won't work on Andrew, he's deadset against hugging or touching or anything like that.
