Just Another Question

It's hard to word it into a question, so I have to give you an example.
By the way as a disclaimer these excerpts are taken from All Hallows' Eve by Vivian Vande Velde because I'm not creative enough (right now) to come up with my own examples.
"Okay, now, arms and legs inside the wagon; we don't want any injuries"--the "okay" being his signal he had heard her and was on his way [...].
That was how she wrote it in the book, but I've seen it where the em dash is on the inside of the dialogue. So my question is, which is correct. Outside or inside?
Thanks in advanced to anyone who answers my question! I really appreciate you being so patient with all my questions and answering them as well!
peace.love.happiness.
