    Princess Lily: Are you afraid to kiss me, Jack?
    Jack: I'm afraid you'll break my heart.

    Legend is my favorite movie. I have seen Dark Crystal too but not Labyrinth (wants to see it!).
    Legend had another manus script (a longer one) at first and was supposed to have the title: Legend of Darkness.
