Movie Quotation: Unendliche Geschichte, Die
Falcor:
I like children.
Atreyu:
[nervously] For breakfast?
G’mork:
If you come any closer, I will rip you to shreds.
Atreyu:
Who are you?
G’mork:
I am G’mork. And you, whoever you are, can have the honor of being my last victim.
Atreyu:
I will not die easily. I am a warrior!
G’mork:
Ha! Brave warrior, then fight the Nothing.
Atreyu:
But I can’t! I can’t get beyond the boundaries of Fantasia!
[G’mork laughs and Atreyu gets a little angry]
Atreyu:
What’s so funny about that?
G’mork:
Fantasia has no boundaries.
[Laughs]
Atreyu:
That’s not true! You’re lying.
G’mork:
Foolish boy. Don’t you know anything about Fantasia? It’s the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefore, it has no boundaries.
Atreyu:
But why is Fantasia dying, then?
G’mork:
Because people have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the Nothing grows stronger.
Atreyu:
What is the Nothing?
G’mork:
It’s the emptiness that’s left. It’s like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.
Atreyu:
But why?
G’mork:
Because people who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control… has the power!
Atreyu:
Who are you, really?
G’mork:
I am the servant of the power behind the Nothing. I was sent to kill the only one who could have stopped the Nothing. I lost him in the Swamps of Sadness. His name… was Atreyu.
[the ground shakes again and Atreyu is knocked down. He grabs a knife shaped piece of broken stone and stands up, ready to fight]
Atreyu:
If we’re about to die anyway, I’d rather die fighting! Come for me, G’mork! *I* am Atreyu!
Falcor:
Having a luck dragon with you is the only way to go on a quest.
Morla, the Ancient One:
Not that it matters, but… yes.
Urgl:
There’s no fool like the old fool!
