A scene from The NeverEnding Story 1984
Falkor

Leaving so soon? Hmm?

Atreyu

Uh, I was just going to-- I-I-I have to... I was trying to--

Falkor

Sneak away?

Atreyu

Yeah...

Atreyu

[Falkor chuckles]

I mean no, no!

Falkor

I like children.

Atreyu

For breakfast?

Falkor

[laughs]

Never! I'm a luckdragon. My name is Falkor.

Atreyu

And my name is--

Falkor

Atreyu. And you're on a quest.

Atreyu

How'd you know that?

Falkor

You were unconscious, and you talked in your sleep. [winks]

Atreyu

Wha--?

Falkor

[wiggles his right ear, and strains to reach it with his short leg]

Could you... get round and scratch behind my right ear?

Atreyu

[giggles]

Falkor

I can never quite reach it!

Atreyu

[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?

Atreyu

Yes. But it's hopeless. It's too far away!

Falkor

Oh, I wouldn't necessarily say that.

Atreyu

You... you know how to get there?

Falkor

Why, sure. It's right around the corner.

Atreyu

How'd all this happen?!

Falkor

[chuckles]

With luck! [winks again]

Atreyu

You've already brought me the entire 10,000 miles?

Falkor

No, only 9,891. As the dragon flies.

Atreyu

You're amazing!

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.
