Quotes

Bastian Bux : Atreyu, get real.
Atreyu : But I am real. What do you mean by "getting real?"
Bastian Bux : Nothing. It's a joke.
Atreyu : Being real is a joke in your world?
-
Atreyu : Bastian made a wish, didn't he?
Falkor : He gave up a very special memory.
Atreyu : [to Bastian] Your mother would've been proud.
Bastian Bux : [confused] Who?
Atreyu : Falkor, you shouldn't have let him!
-
Xayide : [Xayide and her giants arrive in the ruins of Silver City] You're outnumbered and outdone, Bastian. And one you only have one wish left. So use what's left of your brain and wish to go home; that's where you belong.
Bastian Bux : If I use my last wish...
Atreyu : Fantasia will be forgotten!
Falkor : And the Childlike Empress will be lost forever.
Xayide : Go home, and leave Fantasia to me.
Bastian Bux : I won't betray the Childlike Empress!
Xayide : Very well, but how will your father feel if he never sees you again?
Bastian Bux : My father...
Xayide : Make your wish: wish to go home.
Bastian Bux : Yes, Xayide. I will make my last wish. I wish... for you to have a heart!
[Xayide sheds a tear that hits the ground and restores Fantasia; Xayide and her giants explode into beams of light]

Atreyu : We need weapons.
Bastian Bux : I wish for... a spray can!
[a can appears in his hand]
Atreyu : That's a weapon in your world?
Bastian Bux : Yeah. People use it against walls.
Atreyu : Those walls must be dangerous.
-
Bastian Bux : You saved my life, Atreyu.
Atreyu : Yes. But you would have done the same for me.
Bastian Bux : [after a pause] Sure.
-
Bastian Bux : [after the dragon has escaped] What are we gonna do?
Atreyu : Chase it!
Falkor : Chase? Did somebody say chase?
-
Atreyu : [as they reach the castle] Do you remember what to say?
Bastian Bux : Yeah.
Atreyu : Make it loud.
Bastian Bux : [quietly] The Earthling, Bastian Balthazar Bux, and Atreyu, the warrior from the Great Plains...
Atreyu : [curiously] Is that what you call 'loud' in your world?
Bastian Bux : [shouts louder] The Earthling, Bastian Balthazar Bux, and Atreyu, the warrior from the Great Plains, demand to see the master of this castle!
Atreyu : That should get somebody's attention.
[huge rumbling occurs]
Bastian Bux : Guess whose? Atreyu, they make strong gates in Fantasia, don't they?
-
Bastian Bux : I can tell when someone lies to me.
Atreyu : And I can tell when someone is up to no good.

Falkor : [Atreyu has told Falkor what he saw in the Xobile] Well, from what you tell me, the Emptiness has found its way into Bastian's head.
Atreyu : It's AURYN, isn't it? It works differently with humans than with us.
Falkor : Because humans need memories.
Atreyu : [stunned] So what I saw... was a memory! If Bastian's so clever, why can't he see what's happening to him?
Falkor : Bastian is losing himself with every wish.
Atreyu : He must be stopped, or Fantasia is lost!
[Bastian, who is invisible, quietly approaches them]
Atreyu : I'll take AURYN away from him - by force if necessary. He can't be allowed to make one more wish. I'll have to do it tonight. Tomorrow we might all be prisoners of Xayide.
[Bastian quickly leaves]
Falkor : Now, Atreyu, don't go to him in anger; go and warn him. He's your friend, is he?
Atreyu : You're right. He is my friend.
-
Bastian Bux : Thief!
Atreyu : I've come to warn you!
Bastian Bux : Liar!
Atreyu : Don't you EVER say that to me!
Bastian Bux : But it's the truth! You're jealous because I have Auryn and you've come to take it away from me!
Atreyu : No, I have not!
Bastian Bux : I overheard you talking to Falkor, so don't even try to make excuses!
Atreyu : You've gone mad, Bastian! Give me Auryn!
Bastian Bux : [holds it] She wants ME to have it. You don't understand nothing. Why don't you just go back and play with your buffaloes, country boy!
Atreyu : Why don't you go back and play hero in your own world, Earthling!
[he pauses]
Atreyu : Bastian, every time you use Auryn, you lose one of your memories. Xayide has a - a machine that collects them.
Bastian Bux : [in disbelief] I would've seen it! I've been in the...
Atreyu : I have seen it - it is in the roof of the Xobile. A few more wishes, and the Emptiness will possess you! Now, give me Auryn before it's too late.
Bastian Bux : Take it if you can.
[Atreyn and Bastian get in a severe struggle until Bastian pushes Atreyn down to the ground, Bastian sees this in shock]
Bastian Bux : YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF!
-
Atreyu : Now's your chance. Go!
Bastian Bux : [referring to the giants] But what about them?
Atreyu : It's a good day to die.
Bastian Bux : Please don't say that.
-
Rockbiter : Bastian, in your world, if the Neverending Story is fading, no child will ever know about Junior.
Atreyu : They will never ride the prairie with me?
Falkor : And they'll never ride through the clouds with me?
Rockbiter : If humans forget about us, nobody will think of fun things for Junior to do.
Bastian Bux : NO!
[Bastian goes silent for a few seconds]
Bastian Bux : We won't let that happen.
