The NeverEnding Story1984

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...

[Falkor chuckles]

Atreyu:
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.
