Coraline:
[pulls the blanket, revealing three ghost children sitting on the bed] Who are you?

Ghost Boy:
Don't remember our names. But I member my true mommy.

Coraline:
Why are you all here?

Ghost Children:
The beldam.

Sweet Ghost Girl:
She spied on our lives through the little doll's eyes.

Ghost Boy:
And saw that we weren't happy.

Tall Ghost Girl:
So she lured us away with treasures.

Ghost Boy:
And treats.

Sweet Ghost Girl:
And games to play.

Ghost Boy:
Gave all that we asked.

Sweet Ghost Girl:
Yet we still wanted more.

Tall Ghost Girl:
So we let her sew the buttons.

Ghost Boy:
She said that she loved us.

Tall Ghost Girl:
But she locked us here.

Ghost Children:
And ate up our lives.

Coraline:
Well, she can't keep in the dark forever. Not if she wants to win my life. Beating her is my only chance.

Sweet Ghost Girl:
Perhaps, if you do win your escape, you could find our eyes.

Coraline:
Has she taken those, too?

Sweet Ghost Girl:
Yes, miss. And hidden them.

Ghost Boy:
Find our eyes, mistress, and our souls will be freed.

Coraline:
I… I'll try.
