EVERYONE LISTEN! I'm a Boxtroll, and I stopped hiding so you can too! Stand up for yourself, we CAN FIGHT BACK!

Don't do it. It won't change who you are. Cheese, hats, boxes, they don't make you. You make you.
~ Eggs trying to Stop Snatcher from eating cheese that will kill him.

Quotes[]

Lord Winnie's father, people of the upper world. Archibald Snatcher has lied to you all! He told you that boxtrolls are monsters! That they steal children! But they don't. They would never hurt anyone. I know because... Because I am the Trubshaw baby!
~ Eggs' speech.
