Falkor Leaving so soon? Hmm?
Uh, I was just going to-- I-I-I have to... I was trying to--
Falkor Sneak away?
[Falkor chuckles]
I mean no, no!
Falkor I like children.
Falkor [laughs]
Never! I'm a luckdragon. My name is Falkor.
Falkor Atreyu. And you're on a quest.
Falkor You were unconscious, and you talked in your sleep. [winks]
Falkor [wiggles his right ear, and strains to reach it with his short leg]
Could you... get round and scratch behind my right ear?
Falkor I can never quite reach it!
[approaches him and starts scratching]
Here?
Falkor Oh... Yeah! [chuckles] That's so good. Thank you. So, little fella - you're on your way to the Southern Oracle?
Yes. But it's hopeless. It's too far away!
Falkor Oh, I wouldn't necessarily say that.
You... you know how to get there?
Falkor Why, sure. It's right around the corner.
Falkor [chuckles]
With luck! [winks again]
You've already brought me the entire 10,000 miles?
Falkor No, only 9,891. As the dragon flies.
Falkor [chuckles]
Having a luckdragon with you is the only way to go on a quest. Things will work out fine, Atreyu. Never give up, and good luck will find you.
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!
Falkor I knew he would be safe.
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.
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!
The Childlike Empress In the beginning, it is always dark.
The Childlike Empress One grain of sand. It is all that remains of my vast empire.
Fantasia has totally disappeared?
The Childlike Empress Yes.
Then... everything's been in vain.
The Childlike Empress No, it hasn't. Fantasia can rise anew. From your dreams and wishes, Bastian.
The Childlike Empress Open your hand. [places the grain in the palm of his hand] What are you going to wish for?
The Childlike Empress Then there will be no Fantasia anymore.
How many wishes do I get?
The Childlike Empress As many as you want. And the more wishes you make, the more magnificent Fantasia will become.
The Childlike Empress Try it.
[starting to smile]
Then my first wish is...
[The Empress looks up and smiles too, and Bastian is shown riding on Falkor through the sky over a reviving Fantasia]
YEAH! Falkor, it's even more beautiful than I thought!
Falkor Like it?
Falkor, it's wonderful! Falkor, it's like the Nothing never was!
