[Lucinda asks her father Arthur Spiderwick to take her back with him]
Arthur Spiderwick: I'm so sorry. I was so captivated by all the magical creatures I found that I lost sight of the one I already had. But I see now, and I may never be able to forgive myself.
Aunt Lucinda Spiderwick: You came back as you promised, so I forgive you.
Arthur Spiderwick: My dear, because the book was saved, the sylph allowed me to come see you, but I cannot stay. Because if I do, all my years will come back to me all at once, and I will turn to dust.
Aunt Lucinda Spiderwick: Then this time, take me with you.
[Arthur holds out his hand as Lucinda smiles and holds out to take his hand]

Jared Grace: Gladly.
[super angry and furious now]
Jared Grace: I HATE YOU AND I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITH YOU!
