"We'll have to do without the conch."

"Who will join my tribe?"

"Anyone who leaves is a coward."

"I ought to be chief."

"Maybe there is a beast."

"I ought to be chief, I ought to be chief."

"Which is better—to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill?"

"Seem like we don't need the conch anymore."

"Piggy! Piggy!"

"I could swim back home."

"You like me less since the painted faces."

"There's no real smoke without fire."

"Why do you have to keep on going? Don't you want to stay here with us?"

"We shall take fire from the old camp."

"If you're scared of him you ought to say so."

"Shut up, Fatty."

"We could stay here till we wanted to go home."

"The beast can't swim."

"The rules! ... We shall have to make a lot of rules now we want to have fun."

"The conch doesn't count on this end of the island."

"His specs—use them as burning glasses!"

"I'll be chief."

"Bollocks to the rules!"

"I could swim when I was five."

"Hunting is tracking things."

"I thought I might kill."

"See? See? That's what you'll get!"

"I'm going to have a go at the conch."

"The island is good."

"Paint makes it real."
