The NeverEnding Story1984

Bastian:
What's that book about?

Mr. Koreander:
Oh, this is something special.

Bastian:
Well, what is it?

Mr. Koreander:
Look, your books are safe. While you're reading them you get to become Tarzan, or Robinson Crusoe.

Bastian:
But that's what I like about 'em.

Mr. Koreander:
Ahh, but afterwards you get to be a little boy again.

Bastian:
What do you mean?

Mr. Koreander:
Listen. Have you ever been Captain Nemo, trapped inside your submarine, while the giant squid is attacking you?

Bastian:
Yes.

Mr. Koreander:
Weren't you afraid you couldn't escape?

Bastian:
But it's only a story.

Mr. Koreander:
That's what I'm taking about. The ones your read are safe.

Bastian:
And that one isn't?

Mr. Koreander:
Don't worry about it.

Bastian:
But you just said it was... [phone rings]

Mr. Koreander:
Forget about it. This book is not for you.
