Engywook quotes from The NeverEnding Story (1984)

Engywook

Get out of my light wench!! You're disturbing my scientific work!!!

Urgl

You and your SCIENTIFIC WORK!!!! What the boy needs now...is one of my potions!!

Engywook

The Boy will need my scientific advice much more!

Atreyu

Ahem...

Engywook

Ahhhhhh!!! He's Well!!! Now it's my turn with him!

Urgl

Oh no! It's your turn when I say it's your turn.....Well little man...still in pain??

Atreyu

A little....but it's alright.

Urgl

I like that!!! The patient telling the doctor it's alright?? It has to hurt if it's to heal! [hands Atreyu cup] Drink that....that's my batwing broth!! There's eye of newt in there, old tree mold....lizard brains...scales from a rancid sea serpent!

Engywook

Just where did you and your dragon come from? What are you on to? Anything of interest in the, uh, scientific community?

Atreyu

My name's Atreyu. I came here to find the Southern Oracle.

Engywook

Oh!!

Urgl

Here we go again!

Engywook

You've come to the right place, my boy! I am somewhat of an expert on the Southern Oracle.

Urgl

"It is my scientific specialty."

Engywook

It's my scientific specialty!

Urgl

Why don't you sit down and be quiet for once?!

Engywook

You keep quiet wench!

Urgl

Ooh!!

Engywook

It's now my turn. [to Atreyu] My name is Engywook. She's Urgl. Ever heard of me?

Atreyu

I don't think so.

Engywook

You don't move in scientific circles. [Atreyu shakes his head] I am the expert on the Southern Oracle. Oh, you've come to the right place, my boy!

Urgl

There's no fool like an old fool.

Engywook

Wait! Stay here! The observatory. To the winch, wench!

Atreyu

Is that the Southern Oracle?

Oh, no. It's the first of the two gates you must pass through, before you reach the Southern Oracle, and get me the final information for my book. Of course, most people never get that far.

Atreyu

Why?

Engywook

The sphinxes' eyes stay closed, until someone who does not feel his own worth tries to pass by.

Engywook

He made it! Atreyu! He made it through the Sphinx Gate! I always said he could do it!

Urgl

Oh, good! But that's no reason for you to fall out of the basket again!

Engywook

Ooh!

Falkor

I knew he would be safe.

Engywook

Nonsense! You don't understand anything! The worst one is coming up, next is the Magic Mirror Gate. Atreyu has to look his true self!

Falkor

So what? That won't be to hard for him.

Engywook

Oh, that's what everyone thinks! But kind people find that they are cruel. Brave men discover that they are really cowards! Confronted with their true selves, most men run away, screaming!
